The proposition to my fellows !

Posted on by ashutosh buch

Hello to all buddies !!!

It has been quite a while since we have met in person. Following a custom, we, the students have been taking examinations conducted by professional bodies. Our ‘honeymoon phase’ aka graduation period is over and we are set to enter the niche, corporate world. Some of us have already taken up the jobs whereas some of us have been busy taking some placement examinations in order to land a dream job- often knows as a job that gives a reasonable pay & a bit of job security. When we are expected to clear the examinations and take up jobs, some people have been facing difficult times in juggling between the jobs and the examinations. The people often getting stressed up, mess up everything during those crucial years. The performance gets poorer ratings in the jobs and the studies take a toll. While it seems very obvious to give suggestions, putting ourselves in their shoes suggests a different picture. Doing so makes us realize that the decisions taken in such cases were not totally wrong, but the management did take a toll in doing multiple things together. Often it is said that multitasking is a key to success in the corporate world, the terms and conditions are not at all displayed. Having seen some cases around me, it has motivated me to share my thoughts on the same.

Let us take an example. The student tried his luck at some of the prestigious examinations & simultaneously took up the first job that was offered ( in order to showcase a significant experience as well as an ability of multitasking.) He started preparing for the examinations religiously and the job went on quite well on parallel . After a few initial days, things took a turn for the worse. The job which seemed mundane started demanding arduous efforts for climbing the ladders to rise to a high rank. The study which seemed interesting started getting into the phase of an ‘Achilles heel’. There came a point when he got exasperated and got into a temporary depression. The ambitions started getting faded away. After surviving for a few days, he got used to such an industrious schedule. He inspired himself, picked himself up and started enjoying the hectic life. Once again, life started seeming rosier. Then the D day got nearer. The anxiety clouded his thoughts and once again, the phase of temporary depression engulfed him. After a lot of positive consultations from his near & dear ones, he took the exam and ended up with good yet fewer marks to his expectations. He shaded a tear in silence but convinced himself that the multitasking might have affected the result. He abhorred his arduous job despite it provided him plethora of opportunities to learn ‘ how to juggle between stuff’. Analyzing the situations, very obvious suggestions will signal towards an inability to cope the two- jobs & studies but digging deeper, it was a first hands-on experience of handling two situations which were different in every respect. The fields were not inter-connected, the subjects and the practical didn’t share a bit of similarity. Although, in the eyes of the world, student might not have lived up to peoples’ expectations , he might have gained a lot, too. The examination could be cleared in the next attempt, too but an ability to multitask and to cope the seeming ‘stress’ would not have been added to his feathers, which were an absolute necessity to perform decently without unwarranted stress in the future.

So my buddies!!

Something of similar sort might  have happened with you but please remember, an experience is always worth and the failure teaches us the further way by providing an ability to think beyond conventional ways. Don’t regret the failure. It’s absolutely okay to fail. In my sense, that can be termed as an unsuccessful attempt, not even a failure. Life is amazing despite any unsuccessful attempts and don’t curse yourselves for poorer performances. An ability to think of the next opportunity and to grab it will mitigate the pains of past stuff.

Pragmatic suggestions are most welcomed. The author would highly appreciate the stance taken by the readers.

Thank You !

Blog post regarding bosom friendship- undergrad studies

Posted on by ashutosh buch

The blog post dedicated to all bosom friends who nurtured an invaluable friendship in these golden 3 years of undergraduate studies …

Dear friends, we’re about to graduate and didn’t even realize how these golden years passed!
We were on a cloud nine for receiving admittance from one of the most prestigious colleges of Ahmedabad- the college renowned for producing academicians and bright students with extremely good skillsets. At the outset, we all were in a jovial mood and had infinite wishes to make an optimum utilization of these golden years of undergrad studies. Although not being very sincere student of the college, my friends didn’t let me have any feel of the same. We all have enjoyed the time of midsems and endsems. We used to spend quality time before/after midsems and endsems. I’ll remember the crazy photo-sessions, indulging into leg-pulling of friends at any inappropriate time, asking one another about the dubious queries (although irrelevant ones) , getting high on cracking exams with flying colors, consoling of friends for missing rank/good grads, wandering in various groups after exams, later mergering the groups and making fun at any cost. All these have been pictured to reminisce later to have some jovial feelings. I am really grateful to God for blessing me such selfless friends who taught me to nurture the friendship and live the life to the fullest irrespective of occurrences taking place and move on without bothering about any shit.
I’ve tried to make an exhaustive list of friends and their ‘gossips/characteristics’. This post is going to be quite lengthy but I’m sure you’ll be on different notes after reading the same.

Chirag Maheshwari- You’re one of the friends who have shared an unparalleled friendship. The friend who has guided me in myriad situations, made me laugh in innumerable situations, one of the most genuine, witty and humble guy I’ve ever been friends with. You possess great sense of humor. I would like to thank you brother for being there through thick and thin. I’ll always recall few funny incidents which can’t be mentioned here. Looking forward to have more memorable incidents in life ahead, I wish you best luck for having excellency in academics and in general.
“hum logone bahot jalse kiye Chirag, abhi bhi vo sab slideshow ki tarah khiche aate hai dimag me !”

Kevin Soni– Dear One of the most ‘untroubled and plesant’ persons, I cannot express my gratitude in words for being my bosom friend. In the very freshman year, we became friends and since then, it’s been a turning point of my life. I learned a few things from you. You resolved my stupid queries at the eleventh hour and cheered me up in all situations. I’ve learned from you how to be sincerely sincere in studies. Thank you brother for being with me and sharing the awesome bonding as a friend. I wish you best luck for reaching to a culminating point very soon.
“ apne bhai ko dua me yad rakhna”.

Parthil Kamdar:- Dear happy-go-lucky friend , you shared an awesome bonding , we made groups and start poking other people at the late night or early morning and enjoyed the derived pleasure. You, I and Chirag have spent high times on messaging applications and our friendship blossomed through the same. At this time, we can turn back and smell the fragrance of blissful, invaluable friendship. Indeed, you taught me to be on high notes at all times and enjoy the life. Do you remember, we used to get irritated on not seeing the friend coming out of an examination hall on a usual time? Really , we’ll cherish them in later stages of life. Especially , last few exams when we used to go to Chirag’s exam room to shout- ‘ ABE jaldi kar, 2 students ke paper likhega?Kitni der se tera wait kar rahe hai aur tu decoration me pada hai !” All such incidents make us smile at any point of time. I wish you best luck for getting Excellency in academics and enjoy your pleasurable life ahead.

Kunal Shah : Dear ‘straightforward and awesome’ friend , you’ve helped me get good grades by your invaluable contributions. Why on earth I’m not as simple person as you are? You have very clear fundamentals of life and not much fascinated towards materialism of life. You teach people to be contented and sincere. You have been an awesome friend from the freshman year and we both have had good time in our college. You are one of the humblest people on the earth and are selfless creature. I wish I could be like you an uncomplicated person! I wish you best luck for your bright career ahead and stay blessed.

Abhishek Trivedi : Dear F-J friend, you are as much foodie as I am . We both have passion for the same. You are always in jolly mood making fun of other friends and especially of one friend whom I won’t mention here for privacy of him. But it was the best fun made till today; he used to go away on seeing both of us in mood of leg-pulling. Those were the funniest incidents ever. Stay blessed and best wishes for getting infinite success ahead.

“ abhi hum logo ko bahot guftgoo karni baki hai , jaldi milte hai dosto”.

There’re many other bosom friends on whom I’ve to write , will share very soon guys….
Good luck !
