well,this is an entry that i made in a word file when i was in class 9 and it was november i guess.since then,the next few lines had quietly slept in my folder named NILAY fully secured with a 16 letter long password !!! i guess now its time for it to wake up and take shelter in this blog till the time fate chooses.
and pls,just keep in mind that this was written by me when i was 15 yrs old,quite young and free,much free than i am now,free from everything that binds me now.so here it goes.....
It was a five day tour,and it was sponsored by international RYLA or rotary club.it was known as Rotary Youth Leadership Awards.and my first tour out of Jamshedpur,my place and that too without my parents,I was too excited to think anything else.last year also one same event was organised but it focused on adventurous activities and was held in a "naxal prone area" , as it was put by my family and I was not allowed to go,but this year it aimed on personality development,ethics and all those crap.Though the topics were pretty much boring or as it seemed to be but I was not going to miss my first all alone trip that too outside bihar,jharkand.The previous year many students of my class had gone for RYLA but this year it was only me and one of my friend GAUTAM.well,the other guys and galz gave a pretext that now they were in class 9 and were supposed to study as studies are now suddenly more important because we are in higher classes,things are not the same now.well,I could never understand how suddenly everyone had changed so drastically.suddenly there was a increase in seriousness among my friends and they were joining tuition for almost all the subjects.well,I could not understand why.sometimes,when we used to sit during recess in a group,I could not understand the topic of discussion.i managed to catch only a few words like IIT and NIT,but i could never understand who they were exactly.so,I generally used to move away from them and join others,sometimes playing cricket or sometimes playing “truth or dare” or sometimes chatting on all those topics except “study”,the enemy of the YOUTH of india.anything new you try to do,the first stone in your path comes in the form of “study”,and everything gets stuck where it started.matters really worsen if you are from Jamshedpur,better known as TATAnagar after the leading steel company TATA STEEL,which is placed here.the first and the last thing in the mind of a child here is ENGINEERING.its not their fault though,they all have only seen one thing since they were born , ENGINEERS.and i was not an exception,I was one of them,and I really liked engineering and wanted to be one,one of the reason being my love for physics but the main reason being that........
and it goes on for about 10-15 lines more.but what i wanted to say was that....this kid mentioned above soon fell into the same trap...the trap which he hated the most at that time....the trap that took away those wonderful breaks during class hours(when we played cricket),the trap that tried to capture his freedom....the same trap.i mean,sooner or later,i too found myself working my ass off to get into IIT,NIT etc....yeah,working my ass off to fall into the same trap that i once despised.And people say life is fun,maybe it is,but its not way that 15 year old boy would have ever wished it to be,NEVER....and hey....THE RACE FOR THOSE IIT,NIT etc STILL CONTINUESSSSS....so,now who wants to play cricket,anyone ?!!?!!?!!?!!? ;-)
