Acknowledging The Invisible Hands

Welcoming 2013 with DJ was something unexpected to me. Enjoyed the first ever DJ night of my life.

It was nice to see all boys and girls dancing freely, I tried, but I don't know what are a,b,c.. of dancing! Still put few steps for about an hour and ran away from the venue. It is a memorable one.

Without my knowledge my eyes were doing two works together, so was my brain. First was, off course looking at people dancing and feeling jealous! Another was something special, i.e I was looking at the security arranged by the students, thinking about those invisible hands and thanking them, for maintaining smoothness and order in the event.These people sacrifice their time of happiness for the happy moments of others. Hats off to these people.

It made me to remember those days of my grad school when I was totally behind the curtains with the organizing team, who is the true reason for success of any event.  Perhaps, I am proud now!

Acknowledging the invisible people, who built a particular event, shall be the responsibility of every individual associated with that event, either directly or indirectly.

Thank you Organizers of DJ. 

Happy New Year.

School shall be near home atleast till 7th!


Every parent wants his/her kid to study in best possible school, of course considering monetary capabilities.

If the parents are sound enough, they admit their ward in the best school, even if the school is 10-20Km away from home, their thinking is absolutely fine, but there are some things the kid looses forever that is school life itself.

Every kid wants to play, make friends, but, if he/she is traveling 20Km to and fro to school from every day, to catch a bus at 9am, travel to school stay in school till 5pm, rush back home immediately will be a routine, which gives no time to anyone. The school life is experienced only after school hours, unfortunately! Stay for a while in school after the last bell, play around for half an hour makes life's start a memorable.

Even if there are a hundred other kids in the locality of residence,  none will as close as a classmate.

Stay near school, or admit in the nearest school, to give a best gift to your ward, which can never be given by anyone who are staying away, for at least first 12 years for ones life.

So, I ask all, who read this post to reconsider if you have a same situation with your ward.

Happy school life.

A tribute to my teachers

I wish all teachers a very happy teachers day.

Today I am writing is about my teachers because of whom I am what I am today through this post.

I cannot take name of all the teachers who have thought me through out my life, I thank you all for coming as a teacher in my life.

If I look back to my primary school days, I remember few teachers, Out of them 'drawing' teacher was always kind to me. I also remember a teacher who would shout at me every day for not doing the home work, I cant forget the day when I was warned by my one of the teachers to expel from school. I cannot forget my PE teacher who has hit me the highest, sir I still remember the slap in my 5th std (wow! it was hard). I sincerely thank Manjula Miss for her encouragement in participating in the school quiz even i was a below average student.

When I was promoted to secondary school, waw... it was tough tough and tough...,  very second week for 15 days continuously i was given punishment for doing mischievous things in class. It changed me completely, the way i leaved. I started studying from then. Kannada was my first language, Kannada teacher made me write handwriting practice every day 4pages... I used to curse her everyday, but i never did it sincerely, Honestly speaking madam, I am regretting on that mistake of mine now, I am sorry. I Sincerely thank then The Principal, Sis Beatrice, who was a very special person i have seen in my life till today. She is no more now, But i can never ever forget you sister.

Coming to inter, it was a hunt for marks and grades, first time hostel experience, 120Km away from home was a very bad start. I should thank Muttannavar  sir who held me from escaping from there, if he wouldn'y have been there dont know how would i pass, and Annigeri sir, thank you very much for all your thoughts you have sowed in me. I am trying to follow all of them even now.

Then came the Engineering life, getting into one of the premier institute of Karnataka (BVBCET Hubli), was a great experience. I had a hundred plus teachers there, I cannot control myself without mentioning some names Murty Sir, Halesh Sir, Rohini Maam, Hemanth Sir, My Vice Prini Prof Desai BL, a man who recognized something in me, encouraged through out, I remember his words "Rajat, you cannot say this, It has to be done by tommorrow". Sir, now i see to it that the works that i do are to a certain per-fixed standard, thank you for that. Also my HOD Banakar Madam, I remember saying "Go home, and enjoy", for a shivaratri holiday, it had been 5 months i had not gone home.  Maam, there is no one saying this to me now !, thanks a lot.

Then, I came through a teacher, who changed my life. Greatest teacher of my life, I would consider him as an angel, who guided me. The man of values, Technical very strong, Dr PS Bhat. Shastanga namaskaragalu nimage. I never dreamed of an IIT, you sowed me this thought and made me to realize that nothing is impossible. Sir, your saying lingers in my ears, "If you know that you are wrong, admit it, make sure that you will not repeat, but never deny a mistake of yours". Sir, thanks a lot for being my teacher.

I know i have missed many names, I thank all my teachers for your guidance to me at the right time.

Happy teachers day.

Thank you
