Transitions

Transition is one thing in life that is very important. It is one thing that defines your nature and crafts your personality. This is what I feel, because I went through few transitions in life myself and those have made me what I am now. If they were not there I would be a complete different person.

I guess the most important transition would be the time when I realized negative thinking never helped anyone. That's what changed my whole course of life and made me realize the importance of taking things light. In other words not to worry much. This one phrase ' Whatever happens, happens for your own good' made my life more worthwhile and me more happy.

The second transition is the one which was not in my control that was taking up instrumentation and going to Cummins. This was a physical as well as transition of thoughts. Physical coz I shifted to Pune and thoughts coz living in hostel teaches you a lot. Somethings in life are very unpredictable and some predictable. This was one of the most unpredictable thing to happen with me. For my engineering we were considering the options of Mumbai or Andhra or at some point of time maybe even chennai but Pune was totally unpredictable. I guess sometimes destiny plays a strong role. As in this case, first Pune and then instrumentation.

Well, the move to hostel changed my whole life. From first bencher I became a last bencher. Started engineering on the first bench and finished on the last I would say. Never thought I would make so many friends but somehow made many and enjoyed being with them. People say you for years of college are the best parts of your life and I agree. Those were the days where enjoyed a lot, explored a little and made lifelong memories.

The whole point is transitions are inevitable in life and coping with them and changing with them is the whole point of life. That's what makes life more enjoyable.

A new start

This is something I had in my mind for a long time that is to blog. But I couldn't understand why do people blog. Still I don't but I am giving it a try.

Well when I created this blog I was into GRE and totally confused and hence the name baffeled with life. But things are clearing out right now. I guess for the first time in my life I am not confused about my studies and the courses. After coming to US I got a lot of options, maybe that's what cleared my confusion. It made me realize the importance of having a firm mindset and choosing a path. Even though the path may not be the correct one for me but at least I have somewhere to go and not standard at a position from where many paths can be choosen.

I guess as you grow you learn to make more firm decision but for me this ability has come very late. This maybe because I have more people to depend on or because of fear of wrong decision or just underconfidence. But atleast I guess I have got some confidence over my decisions now and hopefully this confidence will stay longer.

I guess this is what is a new beginning for me, for my life and this blog. Lets see what's in store.
