what drives you?

Why do certain people relish solving tough problems and coming up trumps with a solution?

Why do certain people take up seemingly impossible challenges to overcome them?

In any institute where one may have studied, there would be a few students who would be classified
as "brilliant", better than the rest, and would be expected to top every exam.

The others are happy and contented in their mediocrity, have either given up trying, or do not
harbour any intentions to put an extra effort.

Take one such "brilliant" student. She has always revelled in topping all exams. She believes that
she is bound to lead when it comes to academics; that she must always set an example before others.

This students is brimming with confidence, and as a logical progression to one's academic pursuit, lands
up in a renowned institute venerated for its quality of education and what not.

Here, the student finds herself among many other brilliant students coming from different backgrounds.

Suddenly, she finds she is no longer one of the privileged ones. She is not who everyone looks upto.
Heck, she is finding it difficult to top her examinations and is consistenly outperformed by not one
but many of her counterparts.

She starts losing confidence in herself and starts doubting her very abilities.

An institue is a place where students come to learn, build up confidence to go out and face the world.

If a student who was full of confidence comes to this institute, loses it completely, and starts doubting
one's abilities, then is the institute not actually doing a disservice? :-)

Another year...

God help us..

What must he (name withheld) do?

He sees a girl and develops a strong crush for her. He develops a strong crush for her because she reminds him of a girl he hates. He hates that girl because he deeply loves her. He deeply loves her but doesn't feel ready to commit. He doesn't feel ready to commit because she hates him. Interestingly, she hates him because she deeply loves him. He doesn't feel he is capable of doing justice to "being in love". To sum it up, he is getting attracted to a girl he doesn't love. :)

Any suggestions?

ps: I couldn't think of any thing to suggest him, except maybe,... in fact,... I couldn't suggest anything.

pps: If fate does bring her to this blog one day, "He deeply loves the girl he hates and would want to spend the rest of his life with the girl he can not commit to." :D

purity

Purity of mind, purity in thoughts, purity in actions. - can a human being ever be without violating any of these?

possible candidates -

saints, priests, teachers, mothers.

but we must remember that each of these are driven by a deep and powerful selfish interest...

...and an individual plays more than one role in his/her life.



ps: Never betray LOVE.


pps: If you do, never betray it.
