"The Inside story of the Making"

An announcement on the microphone.

The excited commentator shouts out…..

“Last over of the innings and Danny has been handed over the ball. Can he do it? Can he do it for the home team? He has done fine till now as he has given away only 3 runs off his 5 balls. Last ball of his over and just one run to draw and two to win for the opponent team.”

“Are we on the verge of a miracle?”

“Lets see, Can Danny pull through this impossible task…..”

Danny seemed determined. Now on his run up. The batsman had just arrived and Danny had a perfect chance to win the game for his team. Danny was just whispering to himself at that time.

“Yes I can do it”.

“Just one to go”.

The faces of his parents flashed before him as this often occurred with him whenever he was in some kind of pressure or trouble.

He started running with a look of determination in him.

What is gonna happen no one knows………

Suddenly Danny hears a voice… he thinks who’s shouting in between his run up?

“Uth be …….. college nahi jaana kya? Chal uth.. attendance short ho jaayega.”

Suddenly Danny gets up by hearing the low drawling voice of his room mate Bob.

Danny, irritated gets up …”Idiot…. Kya timing hai teri??? 5 min baad nahi utha paa raha tha?”.

Bob confused asked about what had happened.

Danny replies “I was at the verge of glory that u woke me up u idiot”.

Bob tells “Leave all this for now dude…. Lets go or no entry in the digital electronics class”.

Danny springs out of bed as soon as he sees the clock.

Danny says “I’ll tell u the stuff on the way”.

Just by getting into his old pair of jeans and a t-shirt and just a gargle instead of brush Danny gets ready and both of them set off to the college for the classes.

Both rushed to the class as they had already been late and the faculty for the subject was a freak as he never let anyone enter after him.

As both reached the corridor in front of the classroom Bob said “Shit man. Too late. I always have to miss the class because of you Dan. If I would not have wasted time in waking u up then I might have reached on time.”

Danny – “What ??? coz of me?? U lazy fellow…… ur blaming the great Dan… Don’t u dare”

Bob – “Ok. Ok my lord my mistake.”

Danny – “Hey don’t worry, I can at least take a chance for your sake”

Bob – “No not required”, if u disturb him he will curse him like anything”

Danny – “That’s ok dude”

On sliding behind the door Danny pops his head inside the classroom and with a medium pitch voice says-

“Sir, May I come in?”

On asking this Danny was surprised to see the hideous looks on his class mates faces as all turned around to see who had committed this crime to ask in this class.

The Sir shouted at the top of his voice….”You foolish, how dare you enter my class. Get the hell out”. He was so loud that even a person with hearing ailment could have heard it without his ear piece.

Danny quickly gets his head out of the small opening in which he had put it to hear such scolding. Turns back and looks at bob.

Bob tells “I had told you”.

Danny says “Dude it’s Ok. It doesn’t bother me.”

They walk down the lonely corridor. Not attending classes was a type of regular stuff for Danny. But it was not the same for Bob. He was a little upset but didn’t want to blame Danny for this.

"The Purpose Of Life Is a Life Of Purpose"

“The purpose of life is a life of purpose” has been correctly quoted by Robin Sharma in one of his books that I was going through in the near past. On pondering over these lines I always get reminded of a dialogue made by Late Mr. Amrish Puri in a medieval hindi movie. The dialogue was delivered on the basis of an inference drawn while comparing his two sons. The line was ‘Jeene jeene mein hi to fark hota hai’. For movie buffs it is a cake walk to identify the movie. For others let me just increase your knowledge a bit. The name of the movie is Janbaaz. Coming back to the centre stage I just wanted to throw light on the self – realization in individuals. I thought that I was the only one who did not know what he actually wants from his life. But I was wrong. On just questioning I came to realize that I was not alone. On asking an individual the question that ‘What do you really want from your life?’ the answers that come seem hazy. Many people in the age group of 20 to 25 have the same problem. The major fault is that we don’t think on this matter. We don’t think about our own self. We don’t think and identify our strengths and areas of interest.

Man can only be happy if he has interest in what he does. Spending our days doing work that we find rewarding, intellectually challenging and fun will do more than all the spa vacations in the world to keep our spirits high and our heart engaged. My mom, who is a great supporter of the funda of continuous learning just by chance asked me once that what are you gonna do? She just wanted to know that whether I would be going for higher studies or not. She wanted the answer to be yes but on getting the answer as the antonym of it she was shocked. She told me that ‘You studied what your father wanted you to study, now as it is over you will stop? Don’t you have your own areas of interest and liking? Shame on you.’

I was quite disappointed to hear this but what could I have replied. This was the bare truth. So finally I came to a conclusion that I should start persevering to catch my dreams. This thought process should have come much earlier but it’s never too late.

If you are also traveling in the same bus of ignorance along with me then let me tell you that its never too late. Any time you choose is the rite time. Everyone lives his/her life according to his/her will but what is the difference between you and the rest of the people? What can you do by which you will be distinguished amidst of a crowd? Remember that whatever you do, do it in such a way that people are benefited from your effort. Give it a thought ‘NOW’.
