The Days Of Our Lives

The past...the present...the future!

Happiness

 
I was one of the core team members of IIT Bombay's Techfest a year back. I still cherish those moments spent with simply amazing people. Even as we might be passing out soon and going our separate ways, the once-forged bond will surely remain.

One thing Techfest taught me was 'reason'. Everyone has a reason for doing what they do - their own personal reason. And that reason precedes one's goals. The fulfillment of one's goals leads to self-satisfaction which in turns results in one's happiness. See how everything fits together perfectly!

Today as we, Team Techfest 2005, gathered for perhaps one of the last meetings together, I realised how our goals have changed over the years. As we embark on our professional careers, we each set our own happiness. Some might consider being the first one to own an BMW to be their happiness. My happiness lies back home - making a difference to my country and owning a Tata Safari.

P.S.: Please do pardon me if this post does not make much sense. Most of the things which come straight from my heart seldom do.

GHB ....
This post is just wonderful!

The picture ...
Each has placed his hand around the other's shoulder!
Do you agree?..Shoulder is an important part.

Each one standing there are heroes in true sense!
My heartfelt wishes to all of you.

thanks passerby.
on a lighter note, it is wasn't for this hand placement, we'd all have fallen off the ledge :P

I can't help but wonder how long it took to set that picture up.

Efficiency is next to expediency, you know.

Raaaaah! Uuuuuugh! Rooooooh!

awww...only once u come close to completing ur course do u realise how u will never be a student again. even if u decide to study further, it wud never mount up to graduation and post-graduation days. now u wud have to face the real world outside the campus. it is strange to grow up away from the life one has always known as a student.it's a sweet pain, isn't it?
