STUDIES v/s HOSTEL

People often ask me to write on humorous topics, after writing on many sensitive issues it’s my first attempt to write on lighter side of things. I cannot specify it as humorous but one can certainly relax themselves with the added references along with the main theme. The reason why I am not calling it humorous would be clear to you all when you reach the end of this content. So friends read and relax hereafter.
Although studies and hostel life is incomparable, comparing them is like finding resemblance in girl’s make up box and the cricket kits. A valiant effort has made it possible to compare the two incomparable.
If you ask any school going kid (of 5 years) does he like studying the obvious answer would be no. The kid will reply to you as if a mouse is forced to wrestle with creatures which are 20 times the size of that poor mouse. The same is the case with hostel no one likes the first day of the hostel with almost everybody missing their home, parents, friends & the environment they grew up so far. As the days goes by the same kid starts liking his studies as the new comer his hostel. Just like the mango which tastes tangy when tasted upfront but has a sweet taste when it’s ripe.
During the initial stages the kid is forced to study whatever is there in the syllabus with seldom any choices of preferences, the same is the case of hostel as the new comer has to settle with the others without any options. The situation of the kid and the newcomer can be thought of as the case of a budding actor who is given a side role; he has no choices but has to go with it.
As the kid grows old studying, he now has reached to a level where he can choose subjects according to his interest and likings among the various courses offered viz science, commerce or arts. Similarly a hosteller after spending sometime in the hostel chooses friends of his liking among hundreds of other hostelites. In the process the student likes one or more subjects and it becomes his favourite subject. A hosteller also makes friend & one among them becomes his best friend. Similarly the case of the new born child who comes in this world without knowing anybody but as time goes by the child is bound with relations for life time.
When a student chooses one among the different fields, it doesn’t mean that he will like all the subjects in that respective field of study, he dislikes few subjects and the same is the case of the hosteller where there are some good friends there are also a few, whom the hosteller dislikes. The student enjoys reading his favourite subject & has no interest in the subjects he dislikes. In the same way a hosteller enjoys the company of his good friends & wants to keep himself away from those, whom he dislikes. The choice of a favourite subject or the friend can be compared to the drunkards, who if left free will go to the bar instead of the temple. I know the reference seems quite strange but it goes best with above two indicated points.
In any viva/interview if a student is asked to choose the topic he will always choose the favourite subjects similarly whenever a hosteller is in any sort of trouble he will seek help of his best friends. As the student depends on the favourite subjects to score well similarly the hosteller depends on the best friends to take them through difficult circumstances. The situation can be compared to a team which is loosing, the captain turns to its best bowler to take wickets for them and win the match.
A student cannot neglect the subject he dislikes. He has to make effort to cope with it by studying similarly the hosteller cannot neglect the ones whom he dislikes. He has to live among them in the hostel and circumstances may arise where he has to take the help of someone whom he certainly doesn’t like. This situation can be referred to as the criminal who defies the cop but when other criminal threatens to kill him he has to go to the police for his safety.

As we go on studying we learn many new things similarly with the company of new friends in the hostel we learn many things sometimes they teach us the basic things such as friendship and sacrifice. The situation can be referred of that of a young swimmer, who in the battle of surviving in water learns to swim.
One of the most striking similarities of studies and hostel is that after a stipulated period student gives the exam and then never gets the opportunity to study his favourite subject again. Similarly after the 4 years of hostel one has to leave the hostel no matter how well he has gelled with people around or how much he likes the hostel environment. The hosteller who was once a fresher, a newcomer has to leave the hostel and the student his old books just as the soul has to live the body one day.

People often like to store good old memories with them, the student keeps his favourite book safe in the cupboard similarly the hosteller keeps the memories of his hostel days in the form of photographs, speech or the videos so that he can cherish them in the years to come. The same way the pope keeps his bible with him to be with him until his last breath.
Friends as I told earlier this topic is about reading and relaxing. With all my previous writing I had a certain motive i.e. I want the readers to get motivated in life. This content also has a definite motive referring to which I have written a topic which is quite far from deep thinking. I have deliberately moved from the surface of emotional level with those references without going deep into it as it would then require analyzing oneself. The motive of this writing is to make one accustomed with new things in life. Whenever you are facing a new situation, if you can relate them with something you like or something you want more often then not you will cope up with them. Many people have problems coping up with either the studies or the people around. If you can relate them with something no matter how diversified it may be you would achieve the essence of leading the life i.e. you will learn to live.

Numerology: Number 5 people

To begin with, I am not a numerologist or someone to whom you can come with your horoscope and all. I am describing the little I know. Numerology is the study of supernatural forces under the influence of the numbers on human beings. Every human being is controlled and governed by a number which in turn signifies the planet and other heavenly bodies. According to numerology all the people of the universe are classified into nine separate numbers starting from 1 to 9 respectively. This number depends on the date and time of birth in accordance with the positions of different stars and planets. In one way it’s similar to one’s horoscope as it too depends on the above specified factors but it’s much more evolved and more accurate then the later. It may seem strange but the rarest is the number 5 people. According to the statistics of some of the great numerologist, only 5% of the people are true number 5. That is only 5 percent of this world universe people are born as number 5.
Number 5 people are scientifically called as the loner which in general terms means a person who avoids the company and assistance of other person. Number 5 does not go with any number it’s also proved. For example, suppose a number 3 person wants a number 7 person to be his/her friend he can easily become. More or less all the numbers can comply with other numbers but this is not the ideal case of number 5 people. All the relationships are short lived and they seldom stay for the lifetime. They are born to be alone because they are loner.
The basic idea of this blog came to me when I watched the Telugu movie ‘OYE!’. The movie clearly mentions the characteristics of the number 5 people and all those who have seen that movie would know what happened to the girl who was number 5. According to one statistics- In India, there are around 18 Lakh number 5 people out of 1.15 billion Indian population which is around 1 percent. Today when I am writing, I also have a person in mind who is number 5 and certainly not coincidentally all the characteristics of this person matches to that of the girl of the movie ‘OYE!’. At first, I thought it was just a movie and the similarities are just coincidental but when I went to know about numerology, I was dumbstruck.
For all those who are not much into Telugu movies let me describe the characteristics of the number 5 people. 99.9 % males who belong to number 5 people are left hander. Left hander in itself belongs to minority with respect to the other counterpart. These people are characterized by their thinking levels. Either they are way behind in the 18th century or are too much sophisticated (futuristic) to apply themselves in this 21st century. Not only with their thinking but all of their acts are extreme. Whether it being religious, relations or the principles they follow. They take everything seriously and whatever they achieve they want it to be with them throughout their life. Number 5 people are worst when they are exposed to changes. They cannot accept changes and cling to hold the old moments with them. The biggest advantage that number 5 people is that they don’t give up even during adverse situations but when they do break they seldom recover. The greatest fear of all the number 5 people is that they fear to loose the ones they are close to. Call it their fate or the misery but no number 5 people can be with their loved ones through out life.
They would hardly speak when you first meet them and are shy even when the other is greeting but when number 5 people tend to know a person well enough you would see them speak like anybody else and when they speak they have very little sense what to speak and what not. They speak whatever is in their heart. Temper and ego are the two problems they suffer from. Their temper is like the desert sand, which gets heated quickly & cools down before dawn. Ego -unbelievably is the one, which prompts them to destroy there, own happiness & then they suffer from this evil until they die. They don’t have any secret of leading life but are simple in their approach. They like challenges and therefore you would see them doing something which you cannot even think about. Generally, you would find them in communication, media or scientific fields.
It’s not that they don’t want to have friends or mingle with people but majority of the time you would see them alone. There has to be something wrong working against them that they loose the person who are close to them. Many a times the person itself is unable to draw why they are left alone. It’s the nature of number 5 people nobody can help them. You would rarely see them enjoying loud rock music, going to parties or making new friends. There is a sense of calmness in them & are happy with what they have. They appear to be healthy and strong with their looks but are very emotional deep under. You would always find them in trouble one or the other because they are certainly not good at handling disputes. They give more then 100% to everything they do that’s the prime reason of majority of their problems because they expect the same from every one else. We know whenever there is expectancy there is sorrow. In their life span you would always find them having something which they say they want it forever or will be keeping with them forever be it the pen they use, the movies they watch, the soap brand they use, the friends they have, the person they like. They always want these things to be with them forever but since number 5 people is a loner he has to loose it someday. They are really weak from heart so the best advice would be to them to be away from the world and be alone. If they have more people around they are sure to suffer from the heart aches of these people going away from them which is destined, No matter whatever calculations you do with number 5 people the end result will be zero. He has to loose every thing one day.
It’s said number 5 people are like the brittle steel which cannot be moulded but if you wish them to mould you would land up breaking them and unlike the other metals you can never recover the original one. These people should be handled with utmost care because 5 is the most delicate numbers you will find and once they loose their originality you can never have the real person again just like body without soul or books without letters.
People born as number 5 are considered lucky for others because it’s one of the rarest numbers you will find and all the rare elements are indeed priceless.
Friends if you know any of number 5 people you can confirm their characteristics with the above mentioned characteristics….furthermore do tell me if you really know any number 5 people around. I only know one person who is number 5 and he is fighting for everything in his life.
If there are any number 5 people and who do believe in numerology I would advice them to wear the 9 stones (navratna) embedded in numeral 5 ring. It would not changes there fortunes but yes the bad effect would be subdued and they would be able to face the worst with utmost ease.
