A Rack full of Unread Books

Our Batch has crossed the final frontier with loads of Panache. The Final exams of the final semester went away smoothly and those in the Campus Connect program have cleared that too with considerable intelligence. Now, we are all sitting in our homes, lazying away the time or looking for work among the various jobs possibly available to us, from Call Centres to Coaching and even Lectureship with various colleges. However, looking back at the immense amount of time we gave to our College Life (no wonder it's called Life!) One can't help but wonder what possibilities we left uncovered, what paths we did not take. Shahid Kapoor says in his latest movie 'Kaminey' that it is not the paths that we take that cause our downfall, it is the paths we do not take. I wonder how many of us are feeling the same right now. How many of us, sitting at home are thinking, Yaar, Kash uss Trip pe gae hote ya vo file khud bnai hoti, ya phir, kudh thoda aur pdha hota!

There is an immense amount of energy in every person and unless we give form to that creativity, it is going waste. So if today you feel that there is nothing interesting happening to your Life, then Make it Happen! There is no one who is going to come and tell you that there's a lot you can do, that truth is for yourself to discover! You have a whole lot of time on your hands and it's Never too late to do that one thing you've been wanting to do since a long time, even if it's just a very long walk!

Another important idea is: How many of us are meeting our friends anymore? It's very easy to pretend that you are busy and finally your parents are getting time to spend with you. But for those fleeting moments, there are also some people whom you may never see again. How about catching up with old friends, How about getting up one day and planning a reunion one last time before the Forces of Life scatter us away into different directions around the globe??

It must never happen that later on in Life We regret Not doing something more than regretting Doing it. It must never happen that we look at our Life and it looks like a rack full of Beautiful, precious but Unread Books...
