BIT Mesra reunion

The reunion of BIT Mesra 82 batch was planned at Ranchi from 26-28th December 2011. I attended and enjoyed to the fullest. More than 150 batchmates manage to come to Ranchi with taking time out from their busy schedules. It was one of the best managed alumni meet. Everything was in order. Many participated with their families.

Seeing the canteen boy "Bata" after 25 years with bunch of cigarattes packet of all brands in hand. Taking us back to our college days. Bata mind was like a computer in those days he remembers the number of cigarattes taken by all by face, close to 50-60 accounts at a time. His memory was amazing.
The other interseting thing was to re-register many of the faces after so many years and also reality check with the face book friends.

Due to time constraints I returned one day early but it is worth a life time experience.

Thanks goes to Ranchi team.

2024 Reflections: A Pause Year

Image
🌟 The last day of 2024 feels like the perfect moment to pause and reflect on what has been an unexpected and transformative year. As I look back, I vividly remember the final week of 2023, entering 2024 with moderate enthusiasm and a sense of steady anticipation. However, the year unraveled in ways I could not have predicted, bringing challenges on professional, personal, and familial fronts from the very first week of January.  🎒 The year unfolded as a mixed bag of deep experiences and travel. There were highlights, including one international trip, three visits to Goa, several visits to Delhi, and journeys to Uttarakhand and Sikkim. Yet, these moments of travel and exploration contrasted with an overarching sense of internal reflection and reconciliation. 🛑 2024 became a "Pause Year" for me—a time of slowing down, both physically and mentally, to prepare for the next decade of life. It was a year marked by introspection, as I grappled with errors, unmet expectations, ...

Don't Criticize Past, Learn from it and Build on it

These days media and particularly digital/social media are full of past references to almost every aspect of life in India. Be it the development of country, culture, religion,poverty alleviation,politics, external affairs , India-China relations, India-Pakistan relations, you name it any and there is backlash. It seems that after independence only after 2014 India has moved. There are propaganda like 6 years versus 60 years etc. There are clear goal of these propaganda but a sizable number of educated people with understanding of the situation has also become part of this brigade to denounce our past. They become critical individually as well. Why this is happening ? and why people without thinking too much become part of this propaganda machinery  and started criticizing the earlier periods since independence . One thing is very clear that they don't have any interest in going to the details and become part of the crowd and to some extent hypnotized by the daily doses of such new...
