Thank you God

I must admit,like many people I too have a habit of cribbing about insignificant things. "Mom why is the dal cold today?". "Why have you made so and so dish today?". "Why can't we go abroad on a holiday?". These are some of my oft repeated complaints.
I guess I have started valueing the things I have (or rather given to me by God) more over the past few months.Well,I sincerely hope,I do value them.
I guess that's probably because I have started realizing that I have been far more privilged and lucky than many of the others in this world.I still remember my dad telling me to think about those who were less fortunate than me.
I can no longer crib about not being given a permission to go on a trip abroad as I have seen people struggle to travel to office,college everyday due to lack of money.I can no longer complain about not being given my favourite dish as there are many people out there in the World who are forced to eat the caracass of animals as they have nothing else to eat.I can no longer complain about not being given enough pocket money as there are many people(esp. students) who are unable to study due to lack of money,while I am studying something by paying a fair amount of money without getting the required results.

I don't know what good I have done to get all these things.I really don't know why the other's are not equally blessed by God.I really have no answers why people are dying due to hunger and starvation while many of us don't even think twice before throwing away a large part of food from our dishes. I have no idea who can answer these questions.

But,I do know one thing. Someone up there loves me and is taking care of me and my loved ones.When I meet that someone, up there,I will thank him profusely for giving me so many things which I have never worked for.

College and attendance

Nowadays going to the college has become so important.Teachers come to the class after every 15 lectures armed with a list of attendance record.The Final year is very important they say.Your attendance should be above 75%.If you don't attend how will you pass!!!!(haa haa haa)
The professors advice us to score very good marks in the final year."A first class in the final year will help you a lot",says one of the profs.The other says "try to get 70% so that your overall aggregate crosses 60%".With due respect to our professors,I say,"jo 3 saal main nahi kar paya woh 2 sem main kya karega".
Every passing day just makes me happier. Just one more year left now,I say to myself.Only one year among these labs,journals,technology,programs,code and what not.Great! Meanwhile,attending lectures as usual is a mixed bag of fun and boredom.Fun because I can sit on the backbenches and talk to my friends.Boredom because,it's just a waste of time to travel all the way from Sion just for some lectures and pracs which I don't think I'll ever need in the future.But,I guess,this is the price one pays for getting decent marks in 12th and not listening to dad's advice.No problem.I've taken it all in my stride.The only silver lining is meeting some great new friends in the last four years and some great experiences regarding what technology is all about(Did I just say great?).

It's time to leave now.Looking forward to hearing from you all.
Good bye
