                          The New Year Resolutions 2020! Dawn of the New Year 2020 knocked on my door early morning and asked me lots of questions. It was about finished and unfinished work of the last year. But unfinished was more intensified. Somehow I stood on my legs and tried to respond. Yet I could not do it satisfactorily. I had a load of regret and dissatisfaction. I didn’t know the reason for it. However, a new set of goals were about to enter into my life.                           On this Wednesday, I had a bath and a cup of tea while stuffing my head into the newspaper. Everywhere I was mentioned that the New Year came with positive things. It tried to please me and others too. Suddenly I glanced at small news of a poor boy was crushed by a rich and drunken man. What I had a positive se...

                                        Sacking can be a welcome and a celebration. Once I was sacked out of the well-known institute. Because I didn’t perform well and produce the desired result. I failed several times there. At a time, I felt to run away to some quiet place and do some harm to self. That day led me into pain, isolation, reflection, and whys question. I started blaming the management, its employees, and the pupils. Instead of seeing my own drawbacks, I played a game of blame to the surrounding.                                        The time didn’t pass quickly at the moment. Even it didn’t fly and console me as it does on normal days. I obviously started looking for sympathy and self-pity. During that time, I kept it secretly due to the thought of what the others ha...

                                          The memories we can't forget! The memories we cannot forget. Because these refresh our mind and we cherish life. We all try to remember all types of memories either good or bad. But it is advisable to remember the good one only. Further, sharing these with near ones bestow us joy and hope to live a better life. One such fun memory I still remember.                     When I was in 10 the class and used to live in a remote village. At the time , I spent with my village friends. We had always fun and playing together. We also made fun of one another. Among these, one such incident of fun was still remembered by every one of us. In the village, I had a friend called ‘Raju.’ There was also a dog that was called ‘Raju’ by every villager. So we all made fun of our friend Raju by calling that dog...

This incident took place on the bus. It was going from Navasari to Surat. The conversation between the passenger and the conductor happened. It seemed to be funny and satirical. The conductor: please, ticket The passenger: Udhana Darwaja…. The conductor: take this and give me  26 rupees, please. The passenger: sir, please inform me when Udhana Darwaja comes…. The conductor: Yes, but you will come to know when it comes... The passenger: How I come to know it? The conductor: you will see outside the name board of it when It comes. The passenger: but sir, I don’t know how to read? The conductor: but you can take somebody’s help. Okay….! The passenger: but you can help me. The conductor: please, don’t ask me as I am not your teacher. Don’t expect me to help you all the time. The passenger: oh oh oh………..sir…….! The conductor: What ohhhhh...............!

                                   A bus driver’s dilemma!            On Thursday morning, I was late at the bus station to catch a bus. So I missed a regular bus. Then I was waiting for another bus going to Navasari. While waiting for it, I put my head into the newspaper headlines. After some time the bus arrived there and it was a driver cum conductor. It meant that the driver had to play a dual role. First, he had to issue a ticket to the passengers and then drive the bus. But he did it well while driving the bus.               I took my ticket and stood by his side. Slowly and gradually I began my conversation with him over his dual role. He also became friendly while responding to me. Then he shared his tension with me.               He said, “I have to pass out the ‘CCC’ exam within si...

                                  New Abhinandan was turned out at my school last week. It happened that one of the 7th boys went to the girls’ building by mistake. In fact, the school was not co-education and no boys allowed going there. As it was a segregated section. Further separated building for the boys and the girls. So there was always strict rule on that part. But last week that class boy went there by mistake and stood for an hour at one corner of the building when he realised his mistake. At a time one of the teachers noticed him standing. He was brought back to the boys’ building.                                                        On his returning, he was asked several questions by his class and other classes. They asked him how and why he had g...
