Life's Uncertainties Reminder

It has been a while since I write. There are certain reasons that put me away from writing since 2 months. Today, as I get an ample time, I penned down my thoughts on shit of paper. 

Some time back, I was travelling in a bus to my workplace. I was standing near the door of the bus. Pretty occupied with my thoughts, as I was feeling little low. Frustration and angry mood swings with sadness in between. I was quite busy thinking about my life and future.

The bus suddenly stopped at a certain point which is just before my destined place and as I was totally engaged in some thought, I happened to make an eye contact with some guy on that point where bus stopped. He also glanced at me. Since, the guy kind of stared at me or (Actually, it was the other way round since I realized this later) maybe he was thinking that I was staring at him. I got completely cut off from my thoughts. Then he smiled and waved at me. Maybe he thought I am some of his acquaintance. But I am pretty sure, I had never met this guy before. In the midst of these thoughts, I smiled back and waved my hand. This action was involuntary. I can’t recall, why I did this. Maybe it is just a human tendency to reciprocate when someone smiles. In this moment of few seconds. I just got complete cutoff from my mind and came to present.


Later when the bus left the stop, I was just thinking why the hell I smiled. Or why did some random guy brought a smile to my face? I somewhat had introspection that in times of depression or low feeling, some random people make you feel good. Or just they unknowingly help you to be in present. I was trying to analyze what might be going through the guy’s mind. Maybe it is his nature to smile. Or he was just in a good mood that moment. But then why this random coincidence happened. Anyway, some stranger does bring a smile on your face makes you feel good.

As I reflected on that chance encounter, I realized that there was a lesson to be learned from it. Sometimes, when we are lost in our own struggles and challenges, it can be easy to forget the simple joys of life - a smile, a wave, a kind word from a stranger. But these small moments of connection and positivity can have a powerful impact, reminding us that we are not alone in this world and that there is always hope for brighter days ahead.

"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants only"

MY COLLEGE JOURNEY

                   MY COLLEGE JOURNEY As I look back on the years gone by, I can’t be thankful enough for them. Professionally and personally, those are the best years I’ve had. Those college years (2016-2020) gaves me a lots of experiences, a lot of memories, a lots of life lessons, and so on. What did you learnt in those years? Can you describe it in one word? For me it is “GRATITUDE”. I discovered that having a deep sense of gratitude for all that you have in a life is a source of profound happiness. As I started my college for the first time in the month of August 2016. I was quiet afraid as I do not want to go the B.Pharm Degree course. But due to the some reasons I took a decision to go to the bachelors of pharmacy degree. From the very first day of my college admission to the till date the my journey of college was very interesting and distinct. On the 8th of July 2016 I took admission to the KVPS Institute of Pharmaceutic...

Journey of Master's: Lessons and Reflections

“Lao Tzu”, once rightly said, “The Journey of Thousand Miles Begins With a Single Step”   Today I’m at the stage of finishing my master's and heading towards a new phase of my life. I still remember the days when I’m in dilemma about choosing the next path of my career after my bachelor's. As my bachelor degree was nearing the finish, I was quite firm about doing my master as on a distance basis from the same institute. But due to the importunity of family members, I opted to go for the regular mode. I still remember the day when (30/1/2021) when I confirm my admission to the college and started my master’s college on regular basis from 5/2/2021 onwards.  Initially, the college was supposed to be on online mode due to the upsurge in COVID-19 cases. Up to June 2021, things are getting normal back. Due to COVID-19, the exam for the first two semesters of the first year was held in online mode (Sessional exams were offline mostly). As already our year has started quite late due t...

2025: A Year in a Nutshell

The time has come to say goodbye to 2025 and welcome 2026. This is the right time to look back at the year, think about what happened, and prepare for what is coming next. For the last two years, I have built a habit of reviewing my year and learning from it. This moment helps to remember what I did, what I missed, and what I still want to do. I truly believe this is the time to learn from the past and get ready for the future. Reflection is not only about success. It is also about emotions, mistakes, lessons, strength, and growth. So it is important to pause, think, and move ahead with better understanding. Like always, 2025 passed very fast. It feels like it just started and now it is ending. Every year teaches something. Sometimes it feels light and happy. Sometimes it feels heavy and difficult. But every year shapes us in some way. At the beginning of 2025, I had many resolutions. Some I completed, some I could not. That is completely fine. Life does not always follow our plans. Wh...
