The Maths Notebook

We are all set to curtain off the turbulent 2011 with a new zeal and hope for a soothing year ahead, but amidst all these turbulence we forget the small nitty gritty things about our life which sometimes we get to know from our youngers. It's new year eve, where I am sitting thinking to write something to welcome 2012, in my balcony. Children playing in the street and their noise on one hand disturbing me to think something potential, on the other hand amusing me to see how energetic and hopeful about the day ahead. Probably they don't know the harsh reality of the world or I am highly pessimist about tomorrow. whatever...

Rinku my neighbor's son is also there enjoying his winter vacation full on now a days. This boy suddenly remind me a small happening when I visited his home for some work. That day in morning his mother was bargaining with scrap collector on the price for old books and newspapers. I had some work with Rinku's father. I completed that and was coming out when I noticed Rinku arranging his notebooks in two piles. I just tempted to ask him why we was doing so, because all those books were to be given to scrap collector finally. When I asked him he told me in one pile there were his previous year math notebooks and in other pile the scrap books to be given to scrap collector.

Meanwhile his mother came in and told me Rinku never let his old math notebooks sell. It was a different experience for me to see a child loves his maths notebooks so much. I asked him to let me see his previous years notebooks. He brought all which had collected till then. I saw that dog-eared notebooks with pale yellowish pages, embellished with pencil, somewhere with pen too. I asked him why we collect those old notebooks, what could those be use of ? He told me that those notebooks comprises the maths formulae which his teachers made him write down, which is useful for him in new classes too. He doesn't need to rewrite all those again. I pass him a smile and return back to my home.

That day I learnt a very beautiful lesson about life. Over the years we have learnt lessons from our teachers, our elders, our colleagues but it's really amazing to learn from a child. A child with all his thoughts are so contagious. We elders reside more towards probability and predictability unlike a child who never believes in all these things. Rinku never thought about the number of formulae, would be useful to him in future, which would decide whether that notebook being sold or not. He just put it aside because in his sense it's useful and that's enough.

We like the fresh smell of new book, but we should always remember the dog-eared pages comprises the real stuff. In the end I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. May we have a prosperous and cheerful 2012.

Cheers !!

Bits and Bites

A last post at the last hour of the last day of the year. it feels really amazing doing things at the last moment. It most of the time thrills a lot, blood in veins run as if blood corporals are racing each other, 'a feel'.

Through out the year hundreds of good, bad or worst things happen, but at last day forgetting all those bad memories we just wish the upcoming year to be best. We repeats most of the things we had done last year at the same moment. We take resolution, we wish our dear-ones, we start things with a new zeal but we forget we had done the same things last year, but I think that's the most interesting behaviour which shows we are social animals. We can't leave to be social anyhow.
Well that is something random clicked in my mind about humans, now it's time for me.

It's very difficult to summarise even in brief how was your departing year, and really even I don't want to do it too, but still there are some confession,some cheerful and some morose moments I experienced through the year I'd like to share with you.

Life is all about ambition and a student is full of the virtue in my point of view. The ambition to do something at my own, the ambition to stand along not alone. Same in my case, days passed and itch increased fortunately found someone to go along and build something.
Yeah I do confess it was my mistake taking my ambition with light hands and unfortunately it remained unknown.
Learnings : New things to learn, a lesson, how to work and lots more.

Life never ends at you only. You have some relations, without talking about them, you are incomplete. Yeah I was fail at first attempt but some of my nice friends were really doing great. Crossing milestone going ahead.
Again I do confess it was not a ill feel but a strong fire like situation from inside, why not me ?
Learning : You make your destiny at your own. World never wait for you and neither you should.

Found really great things to be learnt, sometime amazing feeling with work, telling about yourself and of-course listening about others. One most important thing I would like to mention is the changes I feel inside me with respect to past year. I stated interpreting things in reality, I start analysing the facts, I start feeling the things, about which I was unaware previously. But still this 'I' is not complete, a great hard work is still waiting for me.
Some true, some false, some bit, some bite, sometimes '1' another time '0' that's life only. We always tries to make it true, always to be '1'.

Now summing up this post, as a social animal, being an ordinary person I wish you a very Happy New Year. May God grant your reasonable wishes :P

Cheers !!
