Thre are times in life wen you wana renew yourself, there are other time wen life renews you.At times you set your benchmark and you strive your best to achieve it.At times life just tells you in its own unique way "boss tu bond nahi hai".
A year in MICA having had all the possible fun that i could,having met all kinds of people,just when i thought life could get a lil monotonous and boring came the day when walked in a guy who would be the most soughted in the next three mnths,The placement commitee head it was goin to be the placement season in the next three months and the commitee had asked for volunteers who would be intrested in joining the team called eclectica.Honestly i had no clue wat the name meant but what puzzled me was why was he askin me to put in my name its only three mnths later that i realised that they needed bakras..:P..coming back.I was wondering there has to be something either i was too smart and i wasnt aware or else there wernt many idiots like me.So there i was in the team after a lot of contemplation from the faculty and the existing team.
Not that i had never been in a commitee before but this feeling was different.first day at work and i realised the mamoth task of placeing seventy students,moreover seventy careers were dependent n us.I have to confess i was a little petrified but the excitement took over the fear and within 2 weeks we were in full flow.With great responsibilities I realised came great POWER.
I am not refering to th electricity here.The moment people asked me what was happening i was there standing adressing nervous anxious minds having the power to console them,to convince them but the most horrific part scare them.I felt as if the whle college was mine,i culd do watever i wanted after all wernt we the most impertant people around more important than the faculty themselves.Power has always been a rush for me and i admit i wouldnt think twice before steppin on sme1s head to reach the top.Call it selfishness or plain arrogance for me if i had not done everthing in me to get wat i want,I would die of that guilt.
The problem with power is power corrupts not just you but your mind,body and soul.Power just doesnot go into your head its like the drug that ges into your blood and intoxicates you.
My first tryst with Power and i admit it was a rush,no matter how small it was it was amazing.
In the intoxicated state its just nt your morals that you comprmise on.
your once beloved concience is somewhere shut by the drug that runs in your vein.
I have no explanation to my behavior,the way i have treated people or the kinda things that i have done.The same feeling after a sloshed party.
It took me a while till i reached where i thught i culd. To come crashing down to the bottom that i never dreamt of..They say the people whom you meet while climbing the ladder of sucess are the same whom you meet while coming down.And trust me its tough facing them for you knw what you have done to them.
Atleast i know power like drinks shuld be handled in a responsible manner.Its like a seventeen year old gettin a car,its a rush to drive crazy without caring for human life or property.At 21 you are responsible you care.
Another lesson learnt from MICA...who says there are no take aways from PG.Theories and business models might become redundant but what life teaches you will be there for the rest of your life.
And the line from my fav movie-With great Power comes great responsibilities..
I would rather nt have the Power but atleast fulfill my responsibility

Both the blogs were a good read. The 'Power' was a better one with a tinge of humor and sarcasm. Fashion was also a good attempt but culd easily have been better had you pointed out more than just what priyanka did and what madhur hasn't done with it. It neither seemed a review nor a wholesome comment on the movie. Written well, keep up the good work.
