PERSEVERANCE

Perseverance - One Word. If you randomly pick 10 quotations on SUCCESS, majority would be having this word. This little word means, to never give up. Perseverance, as such needs some little introduction. We persevere when we are inspired.

We all need inspiration. If you are all like me, we seek inspiration from outside. Some seek it in academicians, some in social heroes, some in even fictional characters. And this inspiration that we get, unfortunately, lasts for a small amount of time. Just like when we take bath to keep us clean from germs, it only lasts for a period of time, after which we take bath again. Inspiration, as such should be constantly fed into our brains, just to be sure that we are always charged.

I personally like Swami Vivekananda. I was inspired by his words. Who wouldn't? I took him as inspiration during my childhood. It so happened that, I thought I need inspiration from a new person. So, I searched. This time, I wanted to choose a person as good as, if not better than, Swami Vivekananda. About the same time, I stumbled on the book - "Wings of Fire", which, as you all might know, is about Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam. I carried this on for about an year and half. I needed another person to seek inspiration from. This happened for quite a while, and I found one thing. To keep moving forward, to be inspired and be charged, you need to seek inspiration from YOURSELF.

We all are capable of doing great things. All our brains are wired more or less the same way. The only thing thats stopping us from achieving great things is our lack of perseverance.

How far would you go to achieve what you wanted in life ? It all boils down to this.

If you are hit, there is no need to feel disheartened. There is no shame in failure. But, there is shame in not trying because of fear of failure. I personally have so many experiences where I did some great things, which I initially though could not be done by me. I failed. I tried. I failed. I tried. I failed again.
This is not an endless chain. It has to break. It will break. And when it does, you will understand what I am saying.

So, go out and start creating wonderful things. Remember! Perseverance is the KEY.

Lokpal Bill - Will it succeed?

Anna Hazare Firstly, I would like to express my full support to the formulation of Jan Lokpal bill, with norms as suggested by Mr.Anna hazare, a former army man. While it is becoming increasingly popular to threaten or black mail the government by non-violence and violence methods, we cannot quote this sort of action badly!! He grabbed the attention of public and media so quickly because he is in no way connected to any political party or any organization that involves in political activities. This sort of protests have been made before on the issue of corruption and none of them were taken so seriously as this. This might be because, all those protests are concentrated on a single segment of corruption and seeks to get justice in that issue. A single issue that's brought into front light is always vulnerable to criticism as a lot of loop holes can be found to get out of it. But, Hazare's protest is very different. He is not asking for justice in a segment, he is asking to a...

What not to do while organizing an event in college! !

Hi friends! The purpose of this blog is to share with you guys, the events and situations that lead to the failure of my event hosted in Daksh 2010, a quiz on astronomy, by the name "Cosmic Panorama". I am an astronomy freak. Night skies have always fascinated me. That crush has even led me to make a visit to ISRO, SriHarikota which only enhanced my interest. So, when I returned to the college, I had a thought of organizing some event that shows how interesting and fascinating astronomy is.. After a long pause, me and two of my friends, came up with an idea of conducting astronomy quiz. This may not be very interesting, but that is all we could think of!! May be this is the FIRST thing you should not do. i.e., don't contain yourself with the thought you got first, keep thinking, you could get a better one , like, some Jeopardy style, creative solutions type, like that. Appeals more than a quiz,right?? Alright, then we shared our thoughts in the meetings. They liked ...

You too can measure a star!!

Study of STARS             How do you measure the size of a star? How do you estimate it’s mass? How do you know hoe distant it is? When you are asked how distant is place-A from place-B (assuming these two places are on Earth), you same some x km. When you are asked, how do you know that, you try to say that I measured it when I traveled by bike or you can say any measuring technique including Geo-mapping. But, you have never been to a star, nor did any machine, nor anything that we know. Still, how are we so certain about the parameters of a star? Read on to find out... DISTANCE AND LUMINOSITY:             When you look at a star, what you see is the apparent brightness of a star rather than its absolute brightness. This apparent brightness is measured in terms of magnitude. The scale is same as that of old catalogs which assigned 1 st...
