Starting a New Life!!

It was my final semester of BSc.I.T (Bachelor of Science – Information Technology); all was set for me to enter a new world when I flunked it by one paper. It was a hard hitting blow considering the efforts I took to get in ‘Science’ stream. 


Flashback: I scored 58.13% in 10th which didn’t qualify me to take ‘Science’ as a stream for college. Science had always been the most fascinating thing for me since childhood; answering all my questions of ‘What’, ‘When’, Why’, ‘Where’. I was low on my self esteem but I was ablaze with determination to get myself back up, to reach where I want to be. Back in those days there was only one window from where you could switch from Commerce stream to Science stream, i.e.: by taking Mathematics & I.T (Information Technology) as subjects. It was a tough journey considering taking the Commerce stream due to Math, which was one of my weaknesses. However, with my resolve and guidance from my professors of both college and classes I achieved to switch to BSc.I.T with sparkling 73.67%. Yahoo!!

Back here I was again in a similar situation after many years. Though I cleared the paper but I still needed a boost into my career which could wash out my flunked paper blot. This particular year was most critical in my life as it was up to me to stand up on my feet – INDEPENDENT.

It was somewhere in the start of January 2011 when my mother read an article of C-DAC (Centre of Development of Advanced Computing) affiliated centre Vidyanidhi Info Tech Academy widely known as VITA. They had organized a 15 day free trial sessions showcasing their strength in teaching and what you will learn from their corporate class trainers. I took this chance and attended all the sessions. The first thought that came in my mind after attending sessions was ‘I want to be their student, to posses more knowledge from this ice berg whose tip I saw in just these 15 days’. I moved forward giving their LET (Late Entrance Test) and was delighted when I cleared it. I was more than happy to be a part of this institute unknown to the fact that it was going to be my ‘turning point’ of life.


15th February 2011 the journey started in VITA. 8am to 8pm was the gruelling schedule, 6 days a week for a period of 6 months. This timetable made VITA my second home as I only use to go home for rest. I was focused and firm, leaving my past setbacks behind to #StartANewLife.

Knowing it very clearly that this was my last chance to invest in my education. I put in every ounce of my energy into grasping the knowledge which was flowing unaltered from the genuine masters of the various technologies. 

Using a 4 in 1 (blue, green, red and black) pen to jot down every word with its significance had become a new style of writing notes. Paying undivided attention and asking countless questions to faculty not even sparing management earned me a pseudonym ‘Mr. Inquisitive’. This 12 hour routine not only prepared me with the knowledge which I need to posses but also injected endurance in me which was much needed in the field of career which I chose. One moment which boosted my self esteem to a whole new level was that I was made project leader of team. Including 8 friends from the batch of friends of 45, which we call VITA Feb’ 11.

Headache, ulcer and less time spent with family were my bruises. But all of this was soothed by the flawless and ever ready to help management at VITA to reach my ultimate aim of having my own home by achieving my goal of getting a job.

This unmatched journey of knowledge and joy was silently erasing the blot in my life polishing my skills and nature to shine bright. The completion of my post graduation here in VITA was marked with 60.32% in my academics and A+ grade in my project along with a job in my hand!!

I couldn’t thank enough to VITA so chose to rhyme a token of gratitude for them and present it with a hand-made greeting.


Whoa!! Recalling this rejuvenating memory has filled me with yet another new found confidence and power to take on the world. Many thanks to https://housing.com/ for giving me stage to experience these memories once again. Here check out their impressive ad:

Success is relative

Time is relative. This is what Albert Einstein determined in his Theory of Relativity. To explain you this in simple words as I recollect from my school days I'd say if you are spending time with your loved ones then one hour spent with them would feel like few minutes but if you put your hand on a hot pan for few seconds it would feel like minutes. Considering you understood my example I'd like to take it further and relate it to a very important aspect of our lives. Success What is success? Is it money, social status, traveling around the world, having a relationship or starting a family, commencing your own business or getting a job? Well as I see it success is anything which you dreamt of and worked hard for and achieved it. It can be as simple as getting up in the morning or sleeping on time in the night. It can be getting your driving license or buying a car. It can be spending a quality time with your family or buying a home for them. Is success time bound?

#EverWonderedWhy clock's hands move clockwise?

One of the everyday thing which we use all around the world is a clock. It has become such an integral part of our lives that neither the day starts nor the night ends without it. But have you #EverWonderedWhy clock's hands move clockwise? i.e.: From left to right. Why is it not the other way round? The answer to our curiosity lies in sundials and in which Earth's hemisphere the clock was invented in. Sundials was an earlier mechanism which were used to keep the track of time. They used to cast shadows with reference to the sun's position as it moved from East to West. Later when civilizations advanced mechanical clocks replaced the sundials. But even though they replaced them, the mechanical clocks where calibrated to match the speed of the movement of shadow of the sundials and also its direction of movement.

Life is a box of emptiness..

Winner of "Write Over Weekend" contest by BlogAdda In valley of singing birds and a river, lived a brother and his sister in a wooden cabin. His name was Daniel and hers Shirley. Daniel used to earn bread by cutting timber and Shirley was in school. He was creative whereas she was curious! It was a Saturday afternoon, Daniel was returning home from work for lunch with his sister. Shirley was waiting for him while playing with her wooden unicorn. It was beautiful crafted wooden piece by Daniel himself as a birthday present to her. She loved fairy tales which Daniel used to tell her during bed time. And unicorn was her favourite mythical creature. She loved the noise the unicorn's legs made on the wooden table when she used to make it walk. It sounded like a real horse shoe would sound!   And then suddenly the unicorn slipped from her hand and fell to the floor breaking the horn. She couldn't bare the loss, tears started dripping from her eyes. She
