An year in life.....

An year in life, 2010-2011. One of the mysterious years. Summer of 2010 itself was so gloomy with Intel internship not starting, which wasn't a big deal once you know you did your best to do find an internship, got it but didn't start due to some strangest reasons,as they say "Man proposes God disposes". Summer at New Media innovation lab was quite interesting with work varying from Wordpress learning to Mobile web stuff. Summer ended with even stranger void in life, 6 August 2010 Nanuji (my father) winked at me on some joke (man's joke :) and I thought your father becomes a friend the day when he is comfortable winking at you at that time and even you are comfortable. That friendship wasn't meant to be long at least physically. 8 August to 8 October, 2 months of living in a hell. Seeing someone die everyday is like some part of you dying every second. 8 October was the day he left us physically, in those 2 months I came to know what it meant to be "man of family", and my life changed forever. Next 10 months were like I was doing things for which I was too young. Everyday was like a test, sometimes I had the answers sometimes or rather most of the days I failed miserably.

Learning from your mistakes is best way of learning new things. I found "you can be as mad as a mad dog but then you have to let it go".

I talked with several different people with completely different background. I found people shouldn't be judged by their appearance, wealth or any materialistic things. A person can be your Krishna, your Bhagwat and you should respect everyone and anyone. A person who isn't nice to you, try forgiving him/her and those who love you try to be with them forever.

Saw days where I just couldn't answer why? I found that people have come up with there struggle phase and that is unavoidable, you can only make it easier by "never giving up" and always carrying a smile on your face would do 90% job.

People change drastically at some point of time. I found that having expectation from anyone is like expecting sun would rise from west.

You never know the future and probability. I found that you haven't seen the future so don't think you can do this thing in future. Do it today and plan for tomorrow too, because someone else might rely on your planning.

Money is one thing which is always scarce. I found that more you run behind money the more you will run, it is necessity but you shouldn't make it your obsession. You won't have time for others than to use that money fruitfully.

Success is a parameter set by you. I found that for someone success is being on top of world and while, for someone else its earning a piece of bread for his children everyday. Life is a strange after all.

You can do anything. I found that result is not in your hand, but you can try everything. If its meant to work it will and if not you won't be able to make it happen anyhow. Yes but try your very best so that you won't be sorry afterwards.

Never run from your responsibilities. I found that running away from things is worst decision in life, and taking help of materialistic things like alcohol is even worse. Satisfaction is in your brain not in things.

These were some of the things I saw too closely, I feel I was lucky to have a person like him in my life who trained me for everything in life. The Guru I could have asked for was my own Nanuji.
