Babaji ki BUTTI...

         Yesterday night while escaping from Ticket collector (TT) in a packed chennai howrah mail (coz i boarded Sleeper class with a general compartment ticket :))_and surfing net on my  (not so smart) phone...I came to know that Civil service preliminary result has been announced.Having not yet recoved from the shock of losing my laptop's 'mother board' to deadly viruses now the exam result felt like salt being rubbed on my wounds. Anyway's i did not remember my roll number  nor was I expecting to clear prelims because as per my calculation my score of 170 fell short of expected cut off (240 as per general opinion).As expected I did not make it.But later on i started thinking about the time and energy i put in preparing for the exams,better thing i could have done in the time i spend to this exam. and other such thoughts started bothering my mind.Failure has this ability of pushing you to the verge of depression and it all depends upon you how you manage to defeat this state of mind.

"take an inspiration from him-THE FIGHTER"

         Under such circumstances a person generally searches for activities which can take him out of depression.While a healthy and fruitful chat with friends and family can cool your senses and help the cause, many people instead use failure as an excuse to take up habits to which they later on get addicted.Prominent among them are Smoking and alcohol ... the most dangerous ones.I am not a smoker so have no idea why do people take  up cigarette bud to fight depression but one thing is for sure...... it sucks.A smoker resembles an 'chimney' with piles of smoke coming out causing equal discomfort to the poor passive smokers who happen to accompany them.Moving on to the next...alcohol...yeah Having drank beer on several occasions i have come to the conclusion that  Wines,beer,Rum whatever one calls them are actually depressants.even science supports my logic.One temporarily forgets about tensions and pressure while consuming them, gets a sound night sleep, next day morning goes to work.. tries to begin work ...slowly realizes at the end of day problems have not left  they have just doubled as you did not come up with solutions for them since last two days.
        So all in all to face any situation in life addictions,Anti depressants these are not going to work.The real strength lies inside you.Try to gather that strength  and keep yourself busy in constructive activities like tracking beautiful girls on Facebook and liking their 6 month old photos while they were 5 kgs lighter ;) ,reading a book on Internal security,International relations, blah blah to impress others or blog 'nonsense'  like me.and remember... Life is much more than an exam.So chill !!So this was babaji ki buti for all those feeling low in life..Moving on to some other topics in world the  last two months a man called Edward Snowden  has occupied significant space on TV and Print media.Who is he? what he did?

EDWARD SNOWDEN

       Snowden was working as an infrastructure analyst  for NSA (United states National security agency).(The NSA is primarily tasked with global monitoring, collection, decoding, translation and analysis of information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes. The agency is authorized to accomplish its mission through clandestine means).He was leading a quite normal life with his model Girlfriend until he commited the greatest daring act on earth.He defied his own country The mighty US of A by leaking classified information to a british newspaper.The USA has charged him with espionage.He sent assylum requests to many countries including India.Finally after  spending 5 weeks at moscow airport Snowden has been granted 1 year assylum by Russia.Why Russia dared to grant him assylum, why india refused ,why snowden did what he did needs an entire new post. I look forward to write such post soon...Till then ENJOY THE WEEKEND :)
