ye zindagi

today i returned from bikaner. i had been there due to my sister's ill health. now she is doing fine. there i got a chance to hangout with some of my jiju's friends. my jiju, being an army officer, has his friends from army itself. so i got a chance to go out for dinner with few of his friends and colleagues which included one captain, two majors and one lieutenant colonel and the later's wife. it was a wonderful experience. for the first time in my life, i had been with so many class one officers. it motivated me to study hard and achieve success like them.

bitter truth

hiii frnds!!!!

it has been well over a month since i wrote my last blog......many things have changed since......my staying at nehru vihar, away from my family is not showing any results....i am not studying properly....one of the many reasons being presence of too many people in my room...they are guests of my room mate....so i can't say anything to them.........

at personal level, my relations with my frnd divya has become sour......we r not frnds any more......the reason is too personal to be mentioned over here......today i came and checked the results for data entry operator exam and as i had feared, i have not qualified for this...now its two in a row....before this paper, i was disqualified in Chandigarh railways exams also....and this shows that after securing a govt job, i have neglected my studies all together......so i have two goals right now.....to study for the purpose of passing my graduation second year exams with flying colours and to study for general studies.......i should at least give four to five hours of my daily routine to serious studies, then only i would be able to achieve my dream...and my dream is to be an Assistant Commandant in Central Police F0rces........May Lord Hanumana and Amma Bhagwan help me in achieving my goals..................
