College

“College” is the most important phase of education and life.

It’s the place where you ‘grow-up’, actually.

You enter the college as an amateur teenager and exit as ‘grown-up’, matured person.
It’s the place, where you are taught important lessons of class and life. There are too many things taught, too many choices and chances offered. And you are free to decide the choices you make, the chances you take and lessons you want to learn for your sake.

It’s the flexible, transitional, transforming, attracting, distracting phase of life and most confusing too.

Confusion - The dangerous syndrome which can be seen in almost every youngster.

Right from the initial phase of college, you are being offered Confusing options.
• Selection of subjects ( Science, Arts, Commerce, Management, Computers, Technical, Industrial and etc )
• Selection of college ( Top colleges, Best colleges, good colleges and any college)
• Selection of location ( Near home, In home town, In metro, In big city or anywhere in world)

And after entering the college, just when you start to settle down and breathe normally, you’ll be bombarded again with a lot of attractions/distractions.

 Mobiles (one of the important, useful and dangerous invention by human).
 Computers and computer games.
 Internet (4th Basic need of youngster).
 Chatting, online and offline.
 Addictions (Differs from person to person).
 Class bunks, mass bunks, proxies.
 Love/s, like/s, crushes, infatuations and after this stage, Break-ups, make-ups, patch-ups.
 And different categories of friends with the opposite gender- just friends, just good friends, boyfriend/girlfriend and ex-es.
 Unknown calls, unknown messages, unknown friend requests and unknown mails.
 And then comes the toughest part, “EXAMS”. Internals, quizzes, surprise tests, assignments and Externals.

Ufffff!!! So many things….

The teenager who is, not-20 not-15, the not-adult not-kid, the not-mature not-innocent human being has to surpass all these attractions/distractions and compulsions to become a responsible and mature citizen.

And he/she has to decide on his/her own or with the help of others, which ways will take him higher and which will take him the opposite way.

And that’s really really tough task and by the time you come to a conclusion, the train of time would have just left your station.

Don’t regret if your present has not shaped as you wanted, may be your Destiny is the Destination where you are right now. Everything happens for a reason.

And maybe, the place where you are right-now is better than where you wanted-to-be.

The Con-Fused State of Youngsters

India, the country with 28 states, a population of 1.2billion, a majority of them are Youngsters.

Youngsters, the living beings with enormous energy, hormones functioning at their best, hot blooded, living an adventurous life with many un-told dreams, un-fulfilled wishes but still love the way they live their life.

Youngsters, the young people regrets the things about their past, the things that could have been better in past. Like,
I should have studied well for my exams.
I should have utilised my time in school/college.
I should have joined the other company.
I should have expressed my feelings to that girl/boy.
I should/shouldn’t have sent the friend request.
I shouldn’t have touched cigarette, alcohol.

Youngsters, the young people always hope and await for a better future than their past, than their present. Like,
I will go abroad and make some more money and live a hi-fi lifestyle.
I will join a big company, after sometime.
I will get that girl for sure or I will make that guy talk to me.
I will send the friend request today.
I will get over him/her in sometime.
I will quit all my bad habits tomorrow; this is my last time, the last cigarette, the last drink.

The state of youth is hanging in between, the “would-have-been-better-past” and “will-be-better-in-future”.

Let’s face it, you cannot change your past, you cannot predict your future.
Your past may not have moments which are adorable, most memorable, worth of sharing, but the way you have shaped now, all credit goes to “Your Past”.
And about your future, nobody can predict it, you can live above 100 years or you can die just after reading this. But you have the choice of making a better future.

The grass is always brighter on the other side.

You cannot walk with one leg in past and other one in future. So, put your feet in the “present gear”, and speed up to the destination where you want to be, in future.
