Sometimes, the world seems too weird even to write about.....
I don't think I can explain myself....(sorry about that though)
Simply too disturbed to write....
Will do soon....
Keep tight....
The World is Wierd....
No excuses this time!!!
It's been a long time since my last post and unlike previous lapses like these, I'm not going to make an excuse as to why I did not keep my commitment of writing.
WHY?
I'm truly trying to keep to my ideals this time around. I think I mentioned this particular quote once before but I repeat it.
"There maybe a thousand reasons for failure but not a single excuse".
For some reason, this particular thought has caught hold of me stronger than all the other ones.
So, let me just tell you a couple of reasons....
1)Been working on an Automatic Door and Light control system - Named it AUTOCON (AUTOmation and CONservation, name courtesy of Sethuram G) -Presented it at a science exhibition and won 1st prize.
2) Now working on Face detection and tracking system for another exhibition
3)Our annual Exams coming up in mid March
Seems I finally overcame my laziness and lethargy......
See you soon...
A Great day and some disappiontments...
Yesterday was my previous school's Annual Day, and even though I'm formally no more a part of it, we, my friends and I feel a sense of belonging to it.
Personally, I feel a deep sadness within me to see that wonderful school facing off with almost certain disdain, unless some action is taken, a strong hand with a kind and innovative heart is in need!! The some of the best of the teachers moved away and the even though the quality of programs haven't suffered much, the quantity has. It was a pride for me that they were able to ensure that most students, even the untalented ones like me would get a chance to get on stage and be a part of it. I do agree the school was only growing then, but it still is, and I feel that they should seriously try to stick to this, after all, its the students and their development that matters, and its their school, right?
Another fact that I noticed was the lack of maintenance. The little pool in front of our school was not cleaned. I was hoping they would do so at least for so big a function. It was in a pitiful condition when I went there for the Christmas celebrations, but now its far worse...
I had been thinking of writing an artcile abut "The markers of a good institution" and this has certainly fast-forwarded it. Expect it soon...
However, above all, I had a great day with most of good and dear old friends and the experience was great although, there are certain things that I cannot share with you ;)
See you soon....
Unwavering Diligence...
This is one of the principles that I try to live by.
Most people tell hardwork is the key to success. But I tend to disagree. Hardwork may get a work done or help you pass an exam but it will never give you success, for success requires unwavering, and steadfast striving that can come for only the deepest of desires to get things done.
This is where Unwavering Diligence comes into the limelight. Obviously, to work diligently, one needs to choose ones choice of work carefully. Although many say , I 'HAD' to do it or it was 'FATED' thus, remember,
"One may have a thousand reasons for failure but not a single excuse."
That is a quote that struck me to the very heart. It is so meaningful yet so difficult to live by.
All one has to do is think "Come what may, nothing can stop me".
Those seven small words are the key to the greatest treasure of all times, Knowledge and Confidence, for either are worthless without the other. One needs to be confident of ones knowledge but also knowledgeable about the dangers of limitless confidence.
Think of the difficulties that you face as a mist, a veil of vapour that when the sun shines shall vanish. But where's the sun? Can't find it!
You don't necessarily need it. Just shine a torch and forge ahead. Let your heart lead the way, let the subconscious lead the conscious, pick yourself up from the puddles you fall into, unfailingly and immediately, fall not into the same puddle more than twice, And you will certainly find your way to that grand prize that we all eagerly search for, the end of the maze will come, and you will finally find success.
But only once you realize, that doing what is worth doing and loving what is worth loving in itself the reward. There is no greater reward than satisfaction.
An Eclipse, some shots...
Here goes, my two most expensive equipments put to use together. Today, I got a great chance to see the total, though not annular solar eclipse as it passed right over our heads. since I had a program to attend today I had to run back to make it in time and made it just at the peak time.
I didn't have access to those filter glasses that some had but I had a better way of doing things, and I would like to share the excitement with you!!!
I don't know how many may have noticed this but all shadows formed during the eclipse was crescent shaped!!!
What the Apple taught us...
What did that apple teach us?
No... the apple alone can't
You need a guy with a bow and arrow too..
Aaah yes, William Tell, he might have been a great archer but the story has a greater lesson to teach.
The difference between "Right" and "Almost Right".
Imagine if the arrow veered just a bit...
Here's another situ
ation, you get to the bus stop just as the bus you want leaves. Think of your disappointment. Well, you almost made it , but the word almost is a very tricky one, one that can land one in great troubles.
So, try not to get that six letter word in front of your five letter word (
