The Night a Raindrop Saved My Life

People often ask me a simple question:

"Do you believe in God?"

My answer has always been the same: "Yes, I do."

Not because someone taught me to, and not because of any religious debate. I believe because of certain experiences in my life that I still cannot fully explain.

One such incident happened when I was a school student, probably studying in the 8th or 9th standard.

It was the peak of summer, and we were living in our old house. Like many Indian families at the time, we often preferred sleeping outside during hot summer nights because the cool breeze made it much more comfortable than sleeping indoors.

Our house had a small open terrace-like space between the kitchen and the bathroom. On one side stood a tall building, and on the other side there were rows of tin roofs covering nearby houses. During summer, that spot would receive a pleasant breeze, making it our favorite place to sleep.

On that particular night, my elder brother, my mother, and I were sleeping there together.

It must have been around 2:30 or 3:00 in the morning.

The weather had started changing. There was a mild storm in the air, and it looked like rain might arrive at any moment, although it hadn't started yet.

Normally, I am a deep sleeper, especially at that hour of the night.

But something unusual happened.

A few tiny drops of water landed directly on my face, and one of them struck my eye.

Instantly, I woke up.

Even today, I don't know why that happened.

When I opened my eyes, I noticed that the wind had become extremely strong. The atmosphere felt strange and unsettled. Something about the weather didn't seem right.

I got up and looked around.

My mother and brother were still fast asleep.

The moment I sensed how severe the weather was becoming, I immediately woke them both up.

"Let's go inside," I told them. "It looks like it's going to rain heavily."

We quickly gathered our bedding and moved indoors.

And then something happened that I will never forget.

Barely a few moments after we entered the house, the powerful wind tore off large tin sheets from a house nearby.

These weren't small pieces of metal.

They were enormous sheets, probably 10 to 15 feet long.

The wind was so strong that it lifted them into the air as if they were sheets of paper.

I watched in shock as those massive metal sheets flew through the darkness and crashed directly onto the exact spot where we had been sleeping just minutes earlier.

What frightened me the most was the way one of the sheets landed.

Its rusted metal corner, sharp like the tip of a spear, struck the terrace in precisely the position where my head had been resting only a short while before.

I stood there frozen.

For a few moments, nobody said a word.

The reality of what had just happened slowly sank in.

Had that tiny raindrop not fallen on my eye...

Had my sleep not been disturbed...

Had I decided to ignore the weather and continue sleeping...

The outcome could have been very different.

Whenever I remember that night, I find it difficult to dismiss it as mere coincidence.

Perhaps some people would call it luck.

Others might call it chance.

But for me, it felt like protection.

It felt as though someone was watching over us.

That experience strengthened my faith in God in a way no book, sermon, or argument ever could.

Life doesn't always go according to our plans. Sometimes we work hard and things still don't work out. Sometimes we feel disappointed, lost, or wonder why certain events happen in our lives.

During such moments, I remind myself of that night.

The night when a tiny raindrop woke me up.

The night when a simple decision to move indoors may have saved three lives.

And the night that brought me a little closer to God.

Maybe we don't always understand how life unfolds.

Maybe we aren't meant to.

But I believe there are moments that remind us that we are not entirely alone.

Someone, somewhere, is watching over us.

What do you think?

Was it a coincidence, luck, or something more?

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

The Ten Extra Minutes I Still Regret – A Lesson from 2011

Back in 2011, during my third year of engineering, I was pursuing Computer Science and representing my branch in our college chess tournament. Looking back, it remains one of the most memorable experiences of my college life—not because of a victory, but because of a lesson I learned the hard way.

Our Computer Science team had qualified for the semifinals, where we were scheduled to face the Electronics and Communication (EC) branch. Each team consisted of four players, including one female participant.

Among our team members was my classmate, Pawan, an exceptionally talented chess player who had already competed at the state level. Compared to him, I was an ordinary player. However, I had spent countless hours practicing and had developed a decent understanding of the game.

The semifinal started with mixed results. Our female teammate won her match, but one of our junior players lost. The most important board was against Kewal, EC branch's strongest player, who had also played chess at the state level.

Ideally, Pawan should have played against Kewal. Unfortunately, despite our repeated attempts to contact him, he was unavailable at that moment due to another engagement. After waiting for quite some time, it became clear that someone else would have to take the challenge.

That someone was me.

To be honest, sitting across from Kewal was intimidating. He carried himself like an experienced competitor, and everyone knew about his reputation. But I had prepared well for the tournament and entered the game with confidence.

As the match progressed, something unexpected happened.

I started gaining an advantage.

The game was being played under a time-controlled format, and move after move, I found myself in a stronger position. By the time we approached the end of the allotted time, I was ahead by approximately five points.

At that moment, I was in a winning position.

If the clock expired, I would be declared the winner based on the points advantage. Everything seemed to be going in our favor.

Then came the moment that changed everything.

As the time limit approached, Kewal spoke to the umpire and casually suggested extending the game by another ten minutes. He then turned toward me and said, almost casually, “We can extend it by ten more minutes, right?”

Without thinking too deeply about it, I agreed.

That simple decision still stays with me to this day.

At the time, I was five points ahead. In my mind, ten extra minutes didn't seem like a big deal. I thought, "What can possibly change in ten minutes?"

What I failed to realize was that I was facing a highly experienced state-level player.

The moment the extension began, Kewal's approach completely changed. Looking back, I believe he had been waiting patiently for an opportunity. He remained calm, focused, and extremely disciplined. Meanwhile, our match had become the center of attention.

Students from both branches gathered around us. A large crowd formed around the board, carefully watching every move. The atmosphere became intense.

The pressure on me increased with every passing minute.

Unlike Kewal, I had never played chess at the state level. I was simply a college player who had improved through dedication and practice. The growing audience and the significance of the match slowly started affecting my concentration.

Then it happened.

I made one small mistake.

For an experienced player like Kewal, that was all he needed.

He immediately capitalized on the opportunity, shifted the momentum, and launched a remarkable comeback. Within those extra ten minutes, he completely turned the game around and eventually defeated me.

Shortly afterward, Pawan finally arrived.

After hearing what had happened, he appreciated my effort and performance. I still remember what he told me:

“Gourav, you played really well. The only mistake was agreeing to extend the game. If the match had ended on time, you would have won on points.”

His words hit me hard because I knew he was right.

Had I refused the extension, I would have won the match. Combined with the results from the other boards, our Computer Science team would most likely have qualified for the finals.

Instead, our junior player had already lost, and now I had lost as well.

Our journey ended in the semifinals.

Even after all these years, I occasionally think about those ten extra minutes.

Not because I lost a chess game.

Not because we missed the finals.

But because that day taught me a lesson that extends far beyond chess.

Never underestimate your opponent, no matter how favorable the situation appears.

And always pay attention to the intentions behind seemingly simple decisions.

To be clear, Kewal did nothing unfair. Everything happened within the rules. In fact, he asked for the extension politely and respectfully. The brilliance was in understanding the situation better than I did. He recognized an opportunity that I completely overlooked.

That is what experience does.

That day in 2011, I couldn't help my Computer Science branch reach the finals, and that regret still lingers somewhere in my memory. But the lesson I learned was worth far more than any trophy.

More than a decade later, I still remember that semifinal, that crowd, that moment of confidence, and most importantly, those ten extra minutes that changed everything.

Sometimes, the biggest lessons in life come from the smallest decisions.

WE ARE JUST A TRAVELER

The life is gonna play it's role always. Sometimes it is heavier on you while sometimes you feel yourself to be heavier on it whereas sometimes our partner in crime or good friend get closes or far from us due to its variations respective to time.

The College:
Everybody has their own memory and values related to college duration. But having good friends, teachers in this duration also based on the mood of life. Fortunately, during my college days life is little pitiful to me as I learnt a lot which I am realizing now. What I was kind a shy and introvert person before coming to college and what I become during this precious 4 years.

The thing is that when I was in college during that time tension was there but at the lower level of how to concentrate in studies, how that girl could start smiling on my smile etc. The level increases as per the time, during final years life want us to start looking for job, even you are not ready you have to run in this race. We started as it is trending, but what life makes me understand that some one got jobs in the first attempt while for someone life gives more deadly and very struggling surprises to getting the same. College diaries if I start writing, it will be long which is full of friends, fun, culture, love and wonderful memories. The college itself nourishing us to slightly make us independent and ready to face our next phase of life.

The Job:
Yes my life seems like already had decided to pull me in the more learning environment. Short in six semester average by 0.25℅ is making me out of syllabus at the time of campus placement which later covered up with adding next two semesters. After being passed out in 2012, my slate was blank, I could create many structures in that like preparation for IT companies, government exams etc. Life also seeing your background in this settlement process, if your backend is strong enough of having established business family you don't need to worry about anything. Your skills, pressure, challenges will get change and your earnings can start easily. One boy has father who is working in jwellery shop, that boy after passing out start looking for a job. Eventually after not getting success in having a job he decided to join his father's business. While another boy whose father is himself a employee, he should have to have a job even his mood permit or not. Like wise in case of girls, I saw many girls who were searching a job with me at that time but when they get tired of initial failures or don't want to struggle more for job they have a very golden option to tell their parent to initiate her proposal for marriage. Many of such girls are get settled in abroad of-course without having a job, Also I saw a girls who belongs to well settled family, for them doing job is not a necessity but they have to be stand on their own, they do not get afraid of initial failures, they fight for it and ultimately they get what they want. We cant blame LIFE for it. Time and luck are two important aspects of life without which no one can survive even someone is billionare or a jobless. For my cases I searched job in Indore, life said NO, I then searched in Ahmedabad, after keep saying NO life finally give me a small lollypop and make me happy for just 8 months but not more, then searched and visited many companies in Pune, life this time gets very angry...and said NO from big mouth. Eventually I got a job in Pune against of life wish, but life is arrogant too it gave me better option of Mumbai. And my life starts with its new phase.

The Friends:

True Friends are like gift from a god given by a life. I am very blessed to have wonderful friends from every phase of life. The true friend will be one who teaches you, if you fall he will not give you any support to again stand but to give you encouragement so that you can stand of your own. I have no enemies in my life but that doesnt mean everybody is my friend. We got true friends in a running life which should meet certain criteria like thinking, respect, trust etc. I got my very good friends during school, college, in a travelling bus or even in a toilet who are still with me and with whom i can share anything. I have special friends as well to whom I even don't call them for 6 months to year but when I call they will be at my side. My father and one of my cousin is also belongs to my true friend list. Indeed I am blessed atleast from a friends point of view :)

The Love:

Love which make us feel different from the usual life. It fantasizes and make us become day dreamer. Like most of the people, my first love is my science teacher, she is very pretty, its from my 8th standard when I am turning to another life's phase. My concentration is no more in studies, my mind focusing more on her navel in a black saree rather than on her teaching amoeba-paramecium. 

Proposed someone is always a full of fear. All the fears are different and fear before proposing any girl is different. We were in the 12th standard she was already a very good friend of mine, I taught her mathematics, she wrote my homeworks, we were in postoffice for submitting application of VITEE exam. She was also filling the same form because I insisted, I completely want her in my all life so were praying for both to be select in the same exam and enjoy college journey together as well. Finally with having courage, I proposed someone first time in a life in a post office, she took 4 days but then changed my life for next 4 years.

Love with your sisters are always special I have none in real but having a beautiful cousins and all are independent that's the best lesson I am getting from them. Even they got husband later it won't change themselves of achieving their own dreams. I am the youngest brother from the father's side but having two younger cousin sister from mother's side. All I getting till now is uniform love from them regardless of the condition I am in. The same way brothers loving they can't say a word but cant live without you

We can't love our parent more than they love us. 

Life's basic rules which we are having with our usual friends or in a professional environment can't be apply on our family like give and take or tit-for-tat. For family our only intention is to selflessly give and give.

Life always want good for us, and we want something based on our temporary thinking. Sometimes both life and our thinking matches and we achieves that, whereas sometimes not and we falls. So in that moment we even think about to kill our 'life' but the beauty is, life is not an enemy it always pushes us, encourage us to the up only thing is sometime we listen, sometimes we not. In both the case life gives us a lesson. 

Someone already become us a traveler , nobody ask our permission before putting us into this journey. Now it depends on us what we can do to this moment. Only thing we know is we will be in this journey until we reaches our destination, is a LIFE.  

THE MATCH WAS DRAWN

It was a midnight. I really hadn't thought for a while that what should I do. I kept awake at 2 A.M. as I turned my afternoon slump to huge 3 hours sleep. So I logged on to chess over my batter-problem suffering laptop and started playing live chess with some random guy, he is from some Macedonia country I even didn't heard this country's name before. We're moving on, didn't talk for a while and only concentrate on playing chess. Initially I was ahead with taking his bishop extra, I thought he would resign but knew at other hand that he has 1442 points which is far better than mine 1378, but the way he played is of unique mentality I clearly seeing. After some instances and moves he has 3 chess-men ahead than me by his wonderful moves that ultimately leads me to write 'You played very well'. After 2 moves he replied "u2 (You too)" and then he again sent me a message "Hari Om", I was shocked and thinking about him that he might be an Indian because now a days Indian ruling at the each corner of World. I replied "Are you Indian?" After sending a message and didn't get a reply for moment from him which increases my curiosity to an extreme level so I opened his profile in a new tab and got him in his profile picture as an old mature English man but not an Indian guy which I assumed before. 

The chat was moving on and I gotta know that he doing Yoga regularly. He knew many of it's exercises, we even talked about the Surya-Namaskar. I felt very proud to let him know about World's Yoga Day which is on June 21 every year and that was an initiative by my prime minister Narendra Modi who urged worldwide for the declaring atleast one day for Yoga in his first United Nations Assembly's speech.

At the end of our game, he was very happy that he gotta know about this new information and got a friend from India who himself (sometimes :P) indulge in Yoga activities and I was happy that I gotta know that yes India's origin Yoga keeping people healthier worldwide. 

He was at almost winning stage, I tried hard in game but ultimately he was upto win then only he had again shocking me by offering a 'Draw' just before one move of his win. I asked him about offering me a draw, he replied with saying that "because you concentrating on giving a very important news to me instead of game properly that's why I offered a Draw". I couldn't understand properly that time what he is saying because intensity of game was high I even trying to show good defense but ultimately I don't know why I accepted his offer. The game turns to drawn, he has given his win to our friendship. He may loose that match but win my heart completely. I learnt many things from him not only the chess skills but also the behavior of talking and how one can won other's heart. I later regretted for a while that why I accepted his offer I must resigned that game instead of choosing a draw, which might not affect so much because I have a habit of representing loosing side many times either.

Some lines from the amazing chat we had in which we were talking about game, Yoga and each other's background, are as follows, of-course we're using chat-English (Short-time-Short-Word) :  Chessy_Thunder (Mine chess.com's name) chessy_thunder: You played very well tpecev1962: u2. tpecev1962: hari om. chessy_thunder: are you indian? tpecev1962: Oh, no, but I have practiced yoga when I was young.

Of-course, I am smiling and feeling proud. :) :) :)

What Should I Do???? Tricky...

What should I do now? Its a question to me. There are lots of thought running in my mind, losing 3 matches in online chess game, lost girlfriend, resigned from job, and now sit idle in my hometown Ujjain after short tour of Pune of one and half months for job-searching but still don't get any kind of success.

I have done 8 months job as a Html template designer in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. That's obviously not benefits me so still I am at starting position of my path. Again, I thinks about the new journey of willing a job in Pune so that once I get a job there I can fulfill my attraction towards Theaters by participating in it during weekends, that was my earlier thinking. I don't want to go for that field now because if I can do that then it proves I am not a suitable software engineer like this comes in the phenomenon that as I couldn't find a job in IT that's why I gone for this one. I decided, to search job first in IT as a software developer. Lots of location I wandered in Pune for submitting a resume but didn't get success so as the Independence day comes and next week there will be Rakhi festival so I decided to leave Pune and as per the decision now I am at Ujjain. But in my conversation during last week, I found their is an opportunity for me as an assistant director :O (Man me laddu foota :P) and now I am huge confused to go for this field now or still waits till I get job. Initially I decided that after 3 years of having I will resign from my job and serve my full effort in my creativity but opportunity comes now so what should I do, I don't find any answer. :/ Blah...blah....blah.... Keep calm my mind, keep calm, I completely believes in you and you'll surely find an answer.

Something special is definitely waiting for me. The path of struggle is always lead to sweet success.
Yes, I created a new quote: "Quantity of struggle is directly proportional to the height of success".
Happy Sunshine :) :) :)

I won’t give up ever!!..

I won’t give up ever!!..

Each interview make me realize, That I am still at the start point of the path leading to expertize my art.  I won’t loose, but I know.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Thinking machine make fun sometime

Not always it could be a good, well to survive, enters now in struggling environment emote my sensibility. I dont know why I feel little afraid to go for an interview each time. Knew it happens with everybody except from those who has a bed of currencies :P, many among go for further cooking in a pressure cooker we can called it study like to behave masters after completion as MBA MTEK etc..

Daily, one among my mate interested in asking about my future activity; I wish  he is so caring about me but everybody wants to know their position in a race of engineer bullock cart by comparing--so called asking about health wealth and what u gonna do now.

Other Hand-
If we want to stay live in our home where we made our-self as a iconic competitor even parents see money in our faces. They want their refund with interest and in market one job among 1000 seekers disposable. Why 1000 jobs not present or possible for one seeker, why they not provide surety of having it. Nevertheless I enjoy my next room with full of struggles but that require efforts more than I have. Happy Sunshine!!

we can live forever if you've got the time.

It's the end of study week, and last Friday marks the end of my first semester here as my result was on my hand, I am graduated now with first division. I've been cooped up in my room since monday, hunched over my computer, my pally procrastination sitting on my bed whilst I (slowly) did my work. once in a while, procrastination would come over to my table and we'd catch up on a few episodes of Full House Season1, Tarak Mehta, although I've been very firm on the number of episodes we watch at any one time (three) so as to not waste too much time (2 hours max).

I should probably go out for a walk tomorrow, stretch my limbs a bit, get some fresh air, have some human interaction (read: be asked by cashier if i have any flybuys (no) and if i want any cash out (no) and thank you for shopping at woolies).

to think, this time, next week I'll be in any metro city like Pune, Bengluru with a job. warm(er), warm(er) ujjainey. yay! Misin a college..(( a lot :'(    I now can't do lunch in nursery of my college with friends, not having freshness that  comes after making eye contacts with girls whatever she was our junior/ classmate 😆. Missing all this things and thinkings with a tub of my tears. again :'(  

PETROL....PEOPLE.....& POLITICS

                                 

Now a days it is a bigger problem in our country...petrol prices arising continuously. This is totally bullshit to see politics on this matter. Common people suffered by this non-sense. I am really shocking to see the prices of petrol in Indian sub-continents countries that Pakistan (Rs 41.81 a litre), Srilanka (Rs 50.30 per litre), Bangladesh (Rs 44.80 a litre) and Nepal (Rs 63.24 per litre). That all have very cheaper rates as compare to the rates of our strong economical country i.e. in India, it is Rs 75.05 per litre. Common peoples are suffering from this political profit game of having a benefit of ministers from oil companies, not evidence but clearly seen. It's really not wanted by our country's citizens. Highest rising rates in this may'12 by 7.50 rupees.

Now as per result, I think 100 of times before get ride by a bike. :(

Be sanguine for a good tomorrow :) :)

I am Engineer now B-) :) :) :)

Yup.....I'm really happy about the out-comings....they are great....sessional is awesome either as first time it reaches the highest.....and also that leads to my % superior than other semesters to form a degree of first division. 79.4 % in last semester and 68.8% in degree. Quite a happy after viewing a result. But now next struggle knocks my mind's door. It's tough to find a job if one can not placed in company, campus-placement. Busy in translating my hindi story "'She'is great" into it's English version with bunch of grammatical mistakes as this language is weak for me. I am trying hard for it.
Hope for the best.
Hope for the good tomorrow.
Be Happy and Keep Smiling yourself. :) :) :)

Bribe make income improves?

I create a heavy title for my next story, that I first time write in English. This story shows the mentality of one person that is not aware with bribe culture in their office. He completes his 4 year job successfully that’s why he got promotion letter but the new post he got is very critical and in this post he is in contact with customers directly and then he see the condition of bribe by his new colleagues but he is honest person on other side……..

This are some line of story “Bribe make income improves?”. It is very difficult to create time for this extra activity. I spent more time in online chess when I sit on computer. In next days, probably campus recruitment exist but I still not serious about its coming. Class mid-sems, cousin’s marriage, company’s knock and my preparation leave, all are happened in coming months i.e. NOV and DEC. so I haven’t proper time for creating some new but still I give quite seconds to this all before sleep. I m really happy for seeing extra curricular success of my friend PANKAJ, that his stories got space in two e-magazines. I wish  him for its future new difficulties. I also have chance to elaborate my new writing poetic skills by creating another blog in HINDI.

ROCKSTAR-2011

Today I read an interview of ranbir kapoor about his new upcoming movie Rockstar. He said about his movie’s story. I was shocked to know that this movie covers 60% of my current life then I saw the writer of this movie, Imtiaz ali it was. Then I understood my self that there is some relation in my thinking and that person’s thinking. Because from his first movie as a writer ‘Socha na tha’, I must say, that movie also based on my life with some percentile likes behavior of talking with a girlfriend, conversation etc. Then his next movie comes namely “Jab we met”, in this movie the diffusive nature of actress is full matched with my girlfriend and the nature of an actor is partial matched with me. Then “Love aajkal” also follow the same rules. This movie has the conversation between lead characters satisfies all ours communication.  The talking about our relationship means me and my girlfriend is useless because it ends early at the beginning of 2011, totally. But I still miss her, in her memory I raised my writing skills by writing more and more poems and stories, also for which I create my new blog. Her memory give perfection to my creation, in the same way Ali’s next movie “rockstar” says about his lead character that wants to becoming a superstar for which he first wants to fall in love with any girl and after getting break up from her he raised his hobby of becoming an superstar-rockstar later, because some body says him that broken heart stimulate creation. Thus, I think and realized Imtiaz follow my life very secretly creates his own business. Any way I have no evidence about this all but still I say whatever’s going on, is good. 

Normal...overall

I spent 2 hours for introducing this new template but still not satisfied with this change but trying more new changes at the time of new post.

Today is Saturday and usually off for us but I was going for college due to extra classes of aptitude. I know the time of its starting 10.30 am so I think bus at time 10 was preferable but when I reach stop there was no bus. Bus late by 15 min and I reach college at 11am.

There was no space in mid or front rows in seminar hall so I sit at last where from no any text of PPT clearly seen. All my friends sit at mid and also Arif not come today as well, as he forced me to come in college today but at last he was absent.

God knows what the condition of that sit. From the top fan blow air to cough and cold suffered boy. From right to me madam sat so I don’t think about escaping from class. But finally sir finished there mission and we are free to go out. And after 10 min there is GD and PI seminar at the same hall but me and my friends doesn't want to get new risk. So we wait for bus arrival time in canteen and after that I reach home @ as usual time 3 pm. In home that blah blah on TV anna hazaare's group I really respect for them so I watch TV till I slept in midday. Then I open a computer in evening and don’t shut it till current time. Its too night 1.57am, my family doesn't know about it and also my dream forced me to close eyes. So I want to go out from web world and time to login in dream world.....Bubye

Hello Frnds....back to blogging after a year

From last blog i think that it was my last blog but i hv many reasons to forced for writing this blog. No i am fine today but the previous some month i realy hated and dont want to come back again. In those period, I loose first time in study by caring backlog in TOC means theory of computation of 5th sem examination got only 23 number. The main reason of disappointing is that i m assured for only one subject  among 5 during examination i.e TOC but got loose in it and others got success. 

Later on moving i dont get chance to fill reval form of this subject as i got lessons from last my experience against  EEES subject. So instead of taking a tension i was ready to broke it in my next attempt. All goes well day by day i prepare for  6th sem papers including this additional subject. Now a day comes examination dates declared---starts from 7jun to 18 jun. this is for others, my exam starts from 31 may, having a paper of backlog toc....so my first concentration on this subject. I finish 2 units of this subject till 28 mid of day but later when my evening passes, i was on my friend's home to desire some notes of TOC. Sudden i got call from my father and they want back me immediately to home and when i reach home approx on 7.30 i saw that i loss my grand mother. I was very shocked this was an another bad day of my life. She was very close to me even that day we communicate more than other usual days. This day is 28 may i hv a paper on 31 may.

I was decided to not go for papers in this condition but many of my college mates gaves me sympathy about this incident but also they forced me to come for papers. My family also says this is a real exam. So from 28 to 29 i was not touch any books at all and also not think about exams. My mind stay engaged in my grand ma's memory. But later when my aunt said me typical movie dialogue that your grand ma also happy to see your success and it is the offer to leave a best message for her by cracking a exam with good result. Later on i fully concentrate on my studies. I engaged my self inside a room, the whole exam. Many relatives comes to that 13 days but i must ignored them. This is very tough activity when the relatives is so close. My 4 papers among 6 goes during this period. But my papers done nicely even i m not sure about the good feedback from my checkers of examination. Ok exams over, but i feel not good, home gets empty from relatives. 

After exams only one week for vacation, then a our one month training waits for us. Starts from 1 july to 31 july. This was just like a commondo training, the full day we sit in front of computer, this is JAVA training given by HCL company mentors. Training is average but gets a new memory in professionalism. I start with first that i haven't habit to comfort for full day so after lunch i slept for a moment in running lecture. But from next day me and my good friend arif gets a new habit to taste tea after lunch and in each day of training. All goes well then sudden on i think 7 july i listen about an another incident my grand ma in law leave us in world. That was again shocking news for me because she was in no any major condition, about her health. Ok again next 13 days is so painful for me but during which i got one good news that i clear my backlog subject toc with 48 marks that also increase my percentage but not enough to reach my expectations. But its ok, now i wait for my 6th sem result. Training completed gaves me good others day, also stimulate me from my family problem. Then my 6th sem result declared i got tensed because i got 62.7 percentage but i require 64.2 percentage to make average 60 overall semester from 1-6. On the last day of training we give a presentation on our project "cyber-voting". Our presentation was best and more like than others. 

This all happens in that three months. That was very bad period for me. I m still struggling with my average lower than requirement. In those days many others bad incident also happen that i m unable to open. 

But finally  at this day means on 19th augast i m in 7th sem enjoying last 16 days of vacation during which i go for a out of station toor with my college mates. Now what next comes for me, I don't know but i still have a hope of waiting of happy days. TCS company offer placement in the next month and i must have to clear it at any cost. I know I face many problems to get success in this mission but i am ready to break any incident, any condition, or any new twist.......................

Even I cleared all subjects, but my percentage 53.4 responsible me to write this post...........53.4, which defeats me from many of my friends(which hv 1 or many backlogs but their % is too high frm me). I feel too bad because in this result, i can't done such mistake to have a backlogs but have a scoring percentage ...........i am clearing all 3 sem consecutively still my sectional is cont.ly down after every sem. On the other hand I couldn't drop my pen in examination after crossing to have 35 number in my each of subject so that RGPV(My university) gave 35 marks in all............i have no answer for this question.............I felt very happy when i done EEES subject paper b'coz paper is easy & i had done it supopely.........still i got 30mrks in it cleared by them with grace. So i fill lastnight reval of it..........

welcome to this blog

Hello friends, I am Gourav kulkarni studied in engineering with computer science branch. Except of study, we have many different different talents and activities but due to pressure of our atmosphere as parents, friends, race of achieving success in academics etc for our future, we only concentrate on our studies and as a result of which we somehow forgotten our creativity & ideas. So I have decided to create this blog for trying to show who really I am, what I achieved, what I think, what I wanted to do, what I did and so many things related to me. You can join me from any place, at any time and can also suggest me or encourage me for my improvisation in my art and behavior. Activity, creativity & ideas in any form such as story, poems(written by you), any message, any sharing moment, your day life and many more you can share with me here.

I believe the social networking is a gift to me to maximize my talent and to represent it in a better manner. I always try my best to improve readability of this blog. Hope you enjoying it.
