HORRENDOUS START OF THE YEAR...

I had a desire to write my own Blog from last 3-4 months, but never think about it seriously and now want to do it just to see how m at writing. Actually last night I read a blog of my senior Abhinav Rastogi with title “who cares!! Get a life..” which actually I couldn’t understand more but after reading this I thought why should not start writing something? Even I know m not that much good in writing but still just want to share my thinking.

Today (11/sep/09) is the fourth day of our holidays. Holidays!!!, u read it correct fourth day of our almost one week holidays, that i will tell u later in this blog what these holidays for?

I find this is the best time to start working on my new passion and want to start it from starting of this new session (2009-10). Every year college used to start with very hectic schedule, same happen this time while this is the last year of our batch in JSS. There was a notice on infocentre that class will be held from 27^th July. But nobody knows how this happened that classes were started from 10^th Aug exactly one month before. At starting seminar presentation was the foremost tension of final year thank god I m done with mine. And simultaneously summer training presentation gave some pain to them who did nothing in this summer but everyone knows summer training was a formality for them b’coz nobody is going to teach u what’s going on In their organization and waste his/her time with u fresher guys?

But everything was going with pace, even nobody feels that we have completed first month of 7^th semester. On the other hand, negotiations about the second counseling of first year were going on so we haven’t see even a single junior from first year in college. Even their classes have not started yet. But no worries buddy this is UPTU anything can happen.:)

After a blood donation camp at JSS campus good news came to final year that “Indian NAVY” is coming for recruitments. Everyone was little bit happy about it that at least some professional type of thing going to happen with us. The GD day was a break for girls and for boys it was a day full of experiences. Everyone was little bit spooky.

Everything was okay from that day till 6^th Sep. That was Sunday when I was taking to my friend staying in hostel, he told me that one of hostel student was affected by Swine flu but he didn’t know his name and room no. I just ignored that, may be that was rumor as the previous one which was the same for a final year student. Next day was a normal day for us and we were attending classes as always. Then we heard some noises which were coming from the same floor. I don’t remember the exact time but I guess that was the second period (9:30am-10:30am). Noise level increased exponentially till the next class. We didn’t understand the reason of so much noise in campus. After classes when we came out of the class a student of second year said-“one student of second year is seriously affected by Swine flu and he is in AIIMS and his two roomies are also have some symptoms. And a girl also has gone for the test. Princi announces that for one week attendance is not mandatory for students of second year only.” I found so many small group of second year student chitchatting about what happen with that affected student and also about the princi’s announcement. All students were scared of swine flu. Some students were spreading rumors that college would be suspended for one week some said only second year and third year classes were suspended. No one was clear what have been decided by the management. Till evening nobody knows what the notice from college about suspension of classes was? Everyone was saying different words about the college even teachers didn’t know about it clearly. At 6:00 pm one of my friend called me and said “What should we do buddy? Most of the girls have left the hostel even of 3^rd year and final year. Even more than 50% girls already left the college for home. They are scared of the epidemic. Okay I am going to my home I have decided. This place is not safe dear (place was JSS so sad naa...)” After that everyone have different words at his/her lips. Some said “chalo yaar one week aish krenge”, some were frightened and left noida. For some of us these are just holidays for sleeping, chatting, watching movies and playing cards. Some are using holidays for preparing CAT, GATE, GRE etc. Some planned a trip to a hill station. Some are thinking from first day till today what should I do? Even I observe the captions of my friends at their gtalk, orkut, facebook and other networking sites, I can easily see the effect of swine flu on their lives as one of my friend has his caption- “SWINE FLU-BACHAOO”, other one has “H1N1 attack on JSS”, one has “Swine flu reached JSS”, some shows happiness of going home and has caption “YEPPIEE going to home” and one has “tImE To bE...NuMb.....: take caution with immediate effect...swine flu in JSS hostel”.

But my purpose of writing this blog is not just write about what I observed these days but I just want to suggest that we should pray for the guy who is there in hospital nd having Doctors around him every time from the day of admit. All of us are busy in our lives and after announcement of suspension of classes everyone is enjoying the break. Most of us don’t think about them (who are sufferers) even for a minute. At the time of bunk we can show the unity for bunking classes but can’t we show small amount of that unity for them? If we can’t give more time to this we can pray for them. May be small amount given by every student can help him to fight against this grievous disease. I am thankful to all of them who after reading this blog think about it for even a single min. God Bless you.

Thank you Rastogi sir, amit sir who indirectly inspired me to write something and thank you friends for reading this blog. And a special thanks (and happy birth day)to my inspiration.
