Madam rides the bus vol.2.....the mystery continues

So quite recently when i was coming back from class, in a bus i sat next to an elderly man and at once he started talking about from where he has come n stuff.He was travelling places, had seen Mysore n bengaluru  n was now in goa.He was coming from Dona Paula and asking me whether this bus goes to Margao. I tried to control my laughter..but i explained the route to him.Then he's lyk telling me that  education is wealth.Ur dad,mum, sis or bro...no one can help u but education.And i couldnt agree more.Then he showed me some snaps that he had clicked and asked me wether his pose was good or not.he even brought some gifts for his kids or grand kids..i dunno.On that short journey he told me about his experience in mysore and how he finds goa.he asked me wats the speciality og goa n at once fish came my answer.So he's lyk "m a pure veg"."u know wat pakoras are.We eat pakoras in Delhi'(yes he was from delhi).At the back of my mind m lyk...wat does dis guy think...dat i live under a rock not knowing pakoras!!! but then i felt pity for him..again for some reason i cant explain coz it leaves me muddlled too.But it was an over all friendly chat.
At d end its lyk relle amazing. i mean u meet such people one day and they share some part of their life with u...n d  next moment u realise dat u may probably not meet these people ever again.

Again i say....insignificance of man in subtle manner.
I hope i get some answer to this mystery bus incidents that i have :)

Madam rides the bus

I dont know what connection i have with the local buses in my city.It may sound crazy but this thing is really intriguing.So one day I come from school and m listening to my i-pod with the ear phones plugged in my ears and its sorta raining.I enter the bus and find a seat empty next to this guy who was busy on his phone.I keep my wet umbrella on the rack above and tryna remove my ticket money from my bag and simultaneously change the song on my i-pod.So m in a kinda mess coz the umbrella above head is dripping over my head!( i know i sound so clumsy). So this guy finds me that m so stuffy and fidgety and asks me if m comfortable...i reply back saying yes.then d bus starts moving and this guy just asks me about the stop that the bus will make.I tell him that its the second stop.So thats all.this guys down t my stop and pays of my ticket.M lyk.'ok u paid good'(in ma mind).So not to be rude i just ask his name.it turns out that he's from UK n come to visit his cousins in Goa.his name was Jovi diaz or something lyk dat.he asked me cell no.Since i didnt have any that time i cudnt give it to him.So he's lyk ok, r u on facebook i can add u.M lyk ok sure....so he trys to type my name in his cell but then he finds it too difficult i guess.Well thats all..i say i'll search him n add him.But then when i try  about a 100 results turn up n eventually i just gave up.

the thing that amazes me is not what happened.i dont know how to say it.i mean it was really something sweet done by this guy..something that no one did before...no one in d sense people i dont know!
dat day was initially bad for me coz i was pissed at something.but this little incident actually made me feel better for that day.It actually potrays out how insignificant we are in a subtle manner.let me put it this way so that u understand wat m trying to say.

In a small place lyk where i stay...looking at it it looks that its just small n probably u'd know many people from there.but everyday when i travel by the same road n same route i always see new faces.this shows the vastness of the universe at a subtle scale.
its lyk the feeling u get when u climb a high peak n look down upon the panorama n realise how insignificant we are in comparison to the whole universe!!

Well if u didnt understand what i am blabbering about...den well i cant elaborate more coz at d moment m at loss  of words!!! So
Au revoir

heck of a thing

Ok so there are some kind of people who kinda get on my nerves. Eg some of my classmates who take extra classes and tryna show off in class and make me feel rather more insecure. Someone was actually surprised to know that I dont take tuitions and told me that other people would be more ahead of me! I mean seriously!?!
what is wrong with people?Isn't there any concept that lies beyond merit achievement? I mean it took Einstein years to give the world his "theory of relativity"; ironically he was a school dropout! And today these people expect us to learn the concepts within days that actually took years to be what it is today!!!! Could anything be more ridiculous than that? Added to the fact that when you go out there to face the society, people always tryna compare you to someone who has outperformed u. why cant anyone just appreciate someone for what they have done rather than fuss about what they haven't?
Secondly i dont understand the point in making us learn something that we dont like. I mean, you can live a long' peaceful and happy life without knowing the respiratory system of a cockroach or how some stupid fungus reproduces!!!! Seriously, its something worth to think about. why waste your energy when you could be doing something productive!?!
So back to those people who try to rote learn rather than understand the concept and apply.Due to our education system in India, rote learning is something that will actually take you ahead, probably till your 12th but then later in life when you actually go out there and face the real situation, wont you be the loser? If you can survive than your the fighter but then if can't ....what are you supposed to do? Keep whining about how unfair things are? Probably they are unfair at the moment..eg...a person who can really understand things well but cant express, is treated as a failure in our system....but its opposite, turns out to be the star of that day (no wonder such people are fat, wonder what they do!)I mean this is totally unfair right?
Why then do we have so many students commiting suicide in IITs and 12th grades. is our system this horrendous?
Albert Einsten rightly said that education is that which one has forgotten what one has learnt in school.
Some one i know rightly also said that education provides everything but strength of mind.


So now this is what i was bumbling about.Do write in your views and opinions and also keep posting wateva's on ur mind!

Confusion confusion!

Ok sorry for the delay....i was on a short vacation to my natives and had to celebrate a festival.

So the thing is that i left a prestigious institute that trains for IIT just becoz i felt lonely in there and didnt like the atmosphere much. Now i am regretting it...kind of not 100%. but i'm happy and tryna come out of my dilemma. I  came across this quote a few days ago: " If u have not made a mistake, u have not tried something new". Even if my leaving this place was a mistake, at least i'll get some new experiences,  and importantly learn from my mistake....try to work hard and be determined to get what u want. maybe it'll make me a better person and make me mentally strong.... after all i have to be satisfied with myself at the end of the day!!!

So guys leave in comments plzz and do post in entries if u have something dat u want to get off ur minds!
