Please get to the pointers!

Please get to the pointers!!!


Engineering is one of the best courses you can take up if you have to learn multitasking in an efficient way.
It's an ideal option if you love the hustle.
But lately it is all about campus placements and pointers.
Don't get offended, there's nothing wrong in that.
In fact, getting  high salaried job is the ultimate thing you can do for your parents.
Definitely it will make them happy.
But will it make you happy?

First thing I'd like to clarify, I'm not saying this to make you realize you suck.
I'm saying this to make you feel bad about the hustle.
If you score good pointers and dream of getting a real job, I'm happy for you to the bones.
But if you are doing this by affecting your mental well-being, I really want you to read this...

I hope you've already watched the movie 3 idiots.
I don't need to stress more on the topic.
We are in the development process.
Nobody's reached there yet... Nobody!
There's no point in feeling low cause the child of the relative of yours scored a pointer more or less than you.
I mean there are a lot of such children of relatives who score more than us... Always will be.
The funny part is we know how much they scored but not their names... Shit!
I'm always like...

Me: Did XXX scored more marks than
        me?
Mom:No! YYY scored scored more than you...
Me: Who is he anyway?
Mom: How can you forget him? You both
           were good friends when you
           were kids. You had a lot of
           memories together. He even
           pranked you by placing a
           cockroach in your T-shirt...
           remember?
Me: Yeah, I remember that brat!     

Just admit we all feel a little low for scoring less than someone we know.
We all have to realize that scoring or excelling in any field requires the urge to improve ourselves and not to outperform someone we don't care.
Simple as shit.
If you are working for making someone feel inferior than you, you are on the wrong path.
Worse... If you are working hard because you fear feeling low in front of someone...
Of course it keeps us motivated, but it doesn't last long.
I think I make the same mistake many times.
Working with vengeance on my mind.

Getting to the pointers,
We get upset if we fail to produce results similar or better than others.
We get so fixated on the outcome than the process that the outcome less than our expectations upsets us.
Imagine you were the only person on this Earth pursuing engineering...
Even if you get a really bad pointer or even if you fail, you'd be happy!
Parents would be really happy!
And the next time, you'd happily work harder to score more.
Sounds easy, right?

It's real easy... Know why?
You didn't work to get a 10 pointer or beating "the child of the relative" named YYY.
You'll always get better with no pressure.
You'll be always motivated to beat yourself and this motivation will prevail even after this 4 year course.
This motivation is what I wish for myself and you as well.

Placements and pointers can be gained by envying toppers and YYYs.
But the fuel ends right after you get the outcome.
Please friends, choose the proper fuel for your life...
It's a forever game...
I'm sorry for being a lot more serious in this blog.
But I'm happy that I didn't beat around the bush and got to the point!

Fake influencers: The agents of manufactured reality

 Fake influencers: The agents of manufactured reality How many public figures do you follow on various social media platforms? It’s great to be up-to-date with what’s going on in their life, isn’t it? Maybe you’re a big fan of his/her work or post feed. Their presence on social media ensures that they stay relevant to the culture and give their followers a chance to get a peek into their lives. A good amount of following can be used to create awareness, raise money for a cause and create a strong community. On the flip-side, it can also be used to push products/courses that benefit only the ones who sell them, and imbibe ideologies that are biased and serve no good to society. Many of such influencers sell us manufactured reality time and time again. It can severely affect our well-being as being the consumers of the same. There’s a lot of political tension in the world. People divide themselves based on countries, beliefs, races, genders, and ideologies. Most of them are ...

Finding friends for the journey

Finding friends for the journ ey ... D one with the first week, I was quite bored to have no one to talk to ... Even if I loved to do things alone, I had to find myself friends on whom I can rely for these 4 years and establish a bond of brotherhood and respect... Enough of this shit, I wanted some people around who could help in my projects, compete my assignments and mark me present even if I've bunked the lectures. Here is how I made my team and how each one of them represent a stereotypical student of an engineering college. I prefer talking to the people who appreciate my poor jokes at any cost. A small program in the college was a  great opportunity to socialize... I knew I had to do that even if I don't like it. I sat in the crowd where I started cracking jokes on the guest of honor... I ain't rude to do that... It's just my way of testing people I don't want someone to be my friend who can't take my jokes ... I found my first...

Fresher's fever

Freshe r's fever Now that we've done with our busy schedule, it's time to take a break and enjoy a bit... Yes... I'm talking about the fresher's party!!! But can all students really enjoy the party? Let's take the case... The biggest irony of life is... Happiness comes for a price What do I mean by this opening statement? Well, after 1 month of tedious lectures, practicals and work we hear about the fresher's party!!!.... Wait... What? It's after our midterm exams! No way This is what happens in most of the colleges. I guess you know how it goes after this. The ones who have prepared real hard for the exams score good... And the ones who have not, score terrible. So it's clear that the ones who score enjoy, The ones who don't,...cry... Not because they scored low but because of their unwillingness of enjoying the party! The midterm score was like a bomb on the class. And with every score declared, it was turning wors...
