Was XISS an Accident.....

It was 7th of December 2009 when it all started. Today was Gau’s (sandeep) Birthday, and i was not in a mood to call him, reason!! He haven’t greeted me on mine either which was on 3rd of December. But dun know why i called him....shayad this is an elegant example of destiny...i greeted him....after doing some balderdash , he asked me how my prep of M.B.A was going on. I told him that i was much optimistic about IRMA and XIMB, as i am targeting for rural management, and i m putting my 100% effort for it. He then asked me had i filled form of XISS-Ranchi. I asked what that is. Then he told me, this college is also a champion of Rural management. Carelessly i told him okey ll pay heed over your information.

Results of IRMA was out and i missed it by 1 marks. CAT was disastrous. XAT was average. Only two things were infront of me, one was call of XIMB, another CET-MAH exam. In short i was HOPELESS!!! Then I remembered about XISS. Opened its site and the very 1st thing i found was :-

“WE DON’T ACCEPT ANY DONATIONS. PLEASE DONT GIVE DONATIONS TO ANYONE”

I laughed a lot and was feeling very skeptic about this college. I called my friend, he assured me that dun worry, xiss takes donations but I’ll manage in your case, I have got huge contacts...blah blah!!!! Then I checked for its last date, and found only 4 dayz are left. Draft worth rs. 650 was required. I downloaded the application form and called my home sweet home for monetary assistance. They told me okey we will send you money tomorrow. I had to fill form immediately because if I wait for money to come then I would not be able to send the draft @ right time., so I borrowed money from a friend and made draft. Fortunately Draft was with me @ 12o’clock. Now I filled all the forms and went post-office to submit it. Post office personnel Refused to take the post for speed post because in the address of XISS, P.O box number was given. They told me to just mail it simply. I rushed towards courier office , they also refused to accept it. Condition was very bad. I Was thinking what to do. Then i don’t know what made me call to @ xiss office . I called there and blurted my dilemma. They told me just send it without P.O box number. At first i was scared then i thought leave it yaar.. if accepted good good .. if not vry good. So, i mailed my form without po box no.

Now it was time of getting shortlisted students for G.D/P.I. lo!! my name was not there in the list. I was more or less fucked up. I thought what the hell was happening with me!!!! i called to xiss office nd told about it. They told me not to worry as a second list of 15 ppl is also coming. If your name is not there in that list then assume that your form was rejected for XYZ reasons.Fortunately, my name was there in the second list.

Now it was my g.d/pi time when i reached college i found a girl from I.M.S (ankita natal) was there. As i had never talked to her, I preferred not to talk. When i reached the hall i found approx 70 ppl were there. Then i did the stuff which i usually do @ every examinations. I started scanning out that who can compete me, i found every1 here can compete me coz they all were looking great and speaking beautifully. After waiting for 5 hours my turn of G.D came. I was exhausted and hungry too. When we were made sit in a room for G.D then i was not knowing that one trouble was egarly waiting for me. My form was absent!!! It was not with the instructor. After 25 min 1 staff came with my form then i was relived. Anant sir and Sanjay Verma sir were there in the panel. All was well in G.D. Now, when P.I started Bhagat sir and Panda sir was there for it.It was satisfactory.

As my interview was over i asked chances of getting admission from gau. He again assured me not to worry, he is there.

After some dayz i found i was kicked off from XIMB. I thought everything is over. I called gau and now, he told me that no contacts are working. If you want to take admission then you have to give approx 3.5 lakhs. I told him that my parents are not going to give a single rupee in the name of donation, so is there any chances for meritorious students @ xiss. He simply told me only 10% students are meritorious here. I told him to forget about it as i am not going to take admission there. It was very disappointing to be betrayed like this!!!! I was very depressed actually not able to think, and was planning to commit suicide. In this period two of my friends helped me a lot. One was Niraj, and other was Raj shekhar who is currently @ LBS,Delhi.

Then after few dayz CET-MAH results were out and i scored good percentile(~98) and was very sure of getting a good college through it. My G.D/P.I center was @ Mumbai. So, 1 day I went to cyber cafe for reservation. I called my home that incoming for Bombay was available but outgoing was in waiting. In between i thought to check XISS web site to see final results, already i was two dayz late. At first glance i didn't found my name so, i closed the document and started checking for logistics. Don’t know what happened i reopened the document to see how many girls they have selected for rural development course. Suddenly i found my name @ 26th place.th position......


I AM NOT SURE THAT WAS IT MERELY A LUCK OR I WAS DESTINED TO COME AT THIS PLACE BUT 1 THING IS FOR SURE:-

"When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream"

Flout a relation with impunity

I don remember @ what age he did tht mistake, but yes that mistake force me to write this interesting tale of two people.

here it goes..

There was a stupid boy in a small town of Simutalla named Rahil, who was vry flamboyant type of kid. When he was (i guess) in class 7 then one day his phone rang. The phone was from Kalyani(a small place in bihar much bigger than Simutalla). Okey it was from his maternal grandmother's house. On the other side of the phone thr was a girl named Raveena(beautiful, smart, haughty,selfish...) maternal cousin of his. So, unfortunately he received d call, and after 10 sec he started getting restless, then he saw Sahil(supercool, attractive, intelligent, soft spoken..)was coming from corridor. What he did was cleverly handed the receiver to him.....This was the first time when they talked and what these two young birds talked is still a mystery for that little kid.

Some blood relationships

(Rahil's's mother's sister in law(muz. side) was sister in law of Sahil's father's sister. Rahil's father and Sahil's father are siblings. Raveena is By-Product of Rahil's mother's sister in law(muz. side). And Sahil is by-product of Rahil's father's brother )


Sahil who resides in patna with his family was diligent, intelligent and a very great student(as his mother says) and was preparing for M.C.A entrance examination. Raveena was trying her hands in advertisements.They gradually started talking and became very good friends in a vry short period of time. They hav got a common relative @ calcutta where she went for some 2 months of training. Fortunately Sahil was also there for his cet-mah exam. Then u can understand what would hav happened. These birds were now love birds. They made many unrealistic commitments which they thinks was love. But the biggest problem in-front of them was of marriage. Because like a flop hindi movie, family of the two doesn't like each other, especially boy's father(....reason!!! will tell u in some other story..but for now only this that something had happened @ his father's marriage). The biggest starring feature of the boy's father was that exezpt his son he hates every1. But as u know love is blind..in this case mental too, these two love birds were making there relationship more concerte day by day(..it is other thing without proper concrete and sand they were making their hawa mahal..). Sahil started preparing for bank P.O examination, because he was in hurry of marriage at the same time he was givin m.c.a entrance.

Raveena was consistently putting pressure on sahil to clear P.O examination so that they could get married. But fate had something else for them. After so many years of preparation he finally cracked an avg N.I.T college, and went there for doing M.C.A(3 years ....so shaadi impossible), cut all his contact with ruchi, was in a relationship with some othe gurl named Tejaswini. After 1 year Raveena got married (..heard tht it was love marriage..) and currently she is in bangalore. Their relationship is still a mystry for others. Actually itz good coz if revealed then there would be an another mahabharata in his house.

And the best thing of this story is the face that both the families hav cut their relationship with Rahil's family.....


So, moral of the story is.................;)

Right against Discrimination - Child Labour

Children are important assets of any society and nation. They are not only the future citizens of any nation but also its strength in reserve. Protection of children is crucial to their survival, health, and well-being. Everyday millions of children are exploited, abused, or are victims of violence. Bought and sold like commodities, children are forced to be soldiers, prostitutes, sweatshop workers, and servants. Abuse, exploitation and violence, occurring usually in private, are often elements in organized crime and corruption.

Whenever we talk on discrimination against children first thing which generally strikes is Child labour. Child labour is perceived to be an economic necessity of poor households and the exploitative aspect in children’s work is associated with the profit maximizing motive of commercial enterprises, wherein children are made to work long hours, paid low wages and denied opportunities for education. International Labour Organization (ILO) defines Child labour as

“…include children leading permanently adult lives, working long hours for low wages under conditions damaging to their health, and physical and mental development, sometimes separated from their families, frequently deprived of meaningful educational and training opportunities that could open up to them a better future ”

India is an overpopulated and a low-income country has the vulnerability of falling prey to the menace of child labour, because of multiple factors. Parents for instance, because of their low income often put greater weight age on the quantity of children rather than on the quality. They often treat children as an asset- a source of supplementing family’s income as well as means of mortgage, apart from providing the supposed old age security to them. Thus, their own parents exploit the children not intentionally but as a part of their culture.

In India no major groups within or outside the government are considered with enforcing child labor laws or making education compulsory, for no particular group is moved by theological, ideological, moral or even self interest considerations. The government officials are fully aware of the international embarrassment that comes with having the world’s largest population of child laborers and adult illiterates, but they ascribe the failure to achieve universal education as a result of the country’s poverty rather than the government’s failure.

Thus, the demand of Children are so much high that their emergence within the workforce reduces the demand of adult manual workers, which eventually leads to adult unemployment, the competition is such that it reduces their wages as a result of which they too face poverty. If we say child labor is simply the single most important source of child exploitation and child abuse in the World today that would be accepted without any doubt. And we can also add our propositions firmly that the working children suffer significant growth deficits compared to children in school. They grow up shorter and underweight, and their body size continues to be smaller even in adulthood. The non-enrolment and school dropouts are also be considered the mirror images, which are reflecting the jerky uneven socio-economic development of a country. There is a need for multiplicity of actions both by government and non-government social organizations. The poor implementation of the legislation makes the problem more severe. The enforcement machineries should be strengthened in this regard to effectively implement the legalities for the social justice to the child.

We know that development is the major concern of all the nations; the path must be very genuine without the arbitrary manipulations of the human resources, particularly the children. Because they are not only the future of any country but also future of the world.
