Republic Day Celebration

Slept Late sterday night after watching NANBAN. Watched tat movie to make my mind free from my tensions. Got up late today morning. Rushed up to Bathroom since had to assemble for the Republic Day Celebration. Was Excited a lot since my mom was about to hoist the flag. The college was in a gala mood since she was the first lady to crown that seat and she is gonna be the Ist women to hoist the flag in the History of GCE, Salem. Dad and I rushed to the venue and saw mom hoisting the flag. The performance of the parade was great. Felt happy because answers to their sleepless nights were found. Each and every performance was in a great manner. Students were running with their cameras to capture this wonderful moment in their records. Hope this one will be in the memories of GCE Salem

       I felt great when I heard from mom that we are moving to Granny's place today too. Since I was over excited I didn do my project work today! Mom and I started by 10.00 a.m. It was a fantastic ride. Enjoyed the ride a lot. Once we crossed gugai felt like meeting our family doctor. Since the clinic was over-crowded we decided not to meet him this day. Once we reached the destination we had a gr8 surprise because the three kutties had come back from their granny's place. Now the enjoyment was tripled.:) Spent the whole day with them watched movies had a gala time...................
        Then by 6 had to start back to home since its cold nowadays. Its nice to ride bikes on hols because the roads are completely free... Reached home in 15 minutes. Then had a rest for 20 min and again set to work!!  

       The month of November went and we were journeying towards the month of December. She came home once in a week. Her first assignment for the month  was that she took C- programming for all the 1 st years since they felt it to be a dificult one. I was too in leave since here in GCE salem was in the period of vacation. This time made me to start my MBA project in full sweep. I planned to divide salem zone to 4 zones as North, South , West and East to distribute the structured questionaire to find the interpretations. I got the help of all hospitals in those regions to get the women's haemoglobin rate.The Salem helped me a lot in completeing my work. A population of 374 was involved in this project. Thanks to the almighty and my mom for giving me this idea. Copy rights to my mom.

        On Dec 9th 2011 mom and I went to D.J. Academy to conduct a workshop on MATLAB. The day before that I prepared the presentation to help mom so that she can manage to complete the presentation successfully. Mom came home on 8th December by 9.00 P.M. By 4.00 a.m. in the morning we started to Coimbatore and reached the destination by 9.00 a.m. The campus was a standalone institution and it was a great campus surrounded by nature. Loved that institution. Activities were going on and I was completely infected. I was not able to enjoy the situation due to my climate.

         Everyone thought that I came to the institution with my mom just as a support to her. The theory session was over. Post lunch the practical sessions began and I got up and gave the session. The institution as well as the audience were astonished to see me. The audience were fully engaged. Based on the reaction I was very much pleased.

        After the session the audience team discussed their research ideas with me. I came home with a complete satisfaction!!

Prayers have answers!! Yes Its true!!-I

       My heart was full of pain and my eyes were filled with tears when I heard My mom was transferred to GCE Bargur. When mom received this information unofficially when we were at the Hospital. My mom was able to control the pain but I was not. I felt very bad and tears rolled down my eyes. I was not able to to ride my bike. I convinced my mind stating that it was just a rumour. No one informed it officially. By 4 in the evening there was a call to my mom officially from the then Principal In charge. He disclosed the transfer data officially and he asked my mom to discharge duties at that moment. It was planned perfectly such that the order was issued on friday evening and consecutively there were 3 days of Holiday. Mom asked the Princi-In-Charge that she ll get relieved after our Bakrid! I was worried because since she was in the principal panel and if the panel comes then they ll make my mom to stay in bargur for 5 more years. I didn liked it to happen. But to be frank when my mom assumed charge in Bargur I felt very happy. The Bargur team wanted her to be with them for few more time. She assumed charge on a tuesday and I was flying high seeing her on the principal's chamber. Mashallah! She worked on the 1st day of her joining. Since she was there 2 girls got permission to reside in hostel because she decides on the context basis. Students got their tap problem solved!! etc., etc. Then she met the 1st years because she is complete only with the students. She had an interaction with the students. She motivated them to reach their goals.

                             On Nov 24th She organised an Orientation programme for the 1st years on Leadership skills. I was previliged because it was my 3 rd even as the speaker. The audience enjoyed a lot. They wanted more sessions from me. I promised them that I will turn back. We fixed our minds and I convinced my mind that all is well!!

                             In the mean time at GCE Salem they started pulling my legs! Everyone added fuel to my feelings. The colleagues asked me to leave since my mom was alone in Bargur itseems. I controlled my emotions. A month went on and so.

                            The month of November was a mixture of happiness and sadness! We as a family managed only due to Allah's Blessings!!

Cute Work Right????

What is Happiness???

How exactly does one become a happy person?

I'm not saying that I'm unhappy. But I want to be more consistently happy with who I am and the things I'm doing with my life. I want to feel like my efforts are adequate and acceptable to God.

Every once in a while I catch glimpses of this woman that I want to be. She wakes up on time every morning, really studies her scriptures before leaving for work and starts out every day with a positive attitude. She is alert and productive at work. She manages to not only keep her classes under control and teach about the Engineering concepts, but also nurtures students that desperately need it. She comes home from work, spends time at home struggles with her life. She remembers that everyone is a follower of  God and treats everyone she meets as such.

I struggle figuring out how to actually become that person all the time. I realize on reflection that even the people who seem "perfect" have days where they feel like they've fallen short. I just want to feel like this amazing woman more often than I do. So how do you balance striving for perfection with the knowledge that perfection is unattainable? It's our end goal in this life, definitely, but that means that for the next 60 or so years, I've got to deal with failure. And unfortunately, like most humans, I am terrified of failure. I'm trying to change my vantage point. I'm trying to develop the courage to pick myself up when I've fallen, to move beyond my failure and to choose to be happy. I had no idea that achieving success and happiness would take so much courage.

I made a list a few weeks ago of things that make me happy:

• crossing things off my to-do list
• a clean house
• reading a good book for hours on end
• starting / working on a new creative project
• waking up first on a camping trip and having the dawn all to myself
• long walks, alone or with a close friend
• phone calls from old friends
• walks in the rain

In creating this list, however, I've discovered that sometimes I have a hard time actually doing the things that make me the happiest. This makes no sense. Why would I not jump at the chance to become happier? Again, I think it goes back to courage. It's easier, more comfortable to take a lackadaisical approach to life, to just let things happen instead of proactively seeking out opportunities for self-improvement. Happiness takes effort. Achievement takes effort. Perfection takes a whole lot of effort. And I have to convince myself that it's worth it.

"True, enduring happiness, with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the greatest difficulties, will come as you center your life in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a secure ascent in the journey of life. That takes effort. While there is no guarantee of overnight results, there is the assurance that, in the Lord’s time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours."

I'm striving to make this my new mantra. I could use your support as well
