Why is it important to have "WHY"?

Hey Mitra, did you smile today? If not then, let me give you a reason to: You are the chosen one to live this beautiful life, once and for all! Ahh, hope that worked, Let's start our talk.

Why? 


An illustration 

If I go on telling you that "Why" is such a magnificent word which can turn the "impossible" into "I'm possible". Would you believe me? Maybe not, so let me illustrate to you a scenario to keep my point in a  clear manner. 



Imagine yourself sitting on your couch, watching Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah and you suddenly start to crave for your favourite samosa as the Zomato ad pops us in the break. You just think of going to  Ratan's Samosa Shop which is just 100m away from your home.  But it's raining heavily outside. Would you step outside and get some samosas or continue watching TV (cursing Zomato)? When asked to a group of students, 97% of them agreed to stay at home while the remaining were hardcore samosa lovers.



Now imagine yourself in the same scenario, just this time your parents are waiting for you at the railway station 4 Km away from your home as they have just arrived from the village. Would you still stick to plan B or head off to the railway station? I think the answer is quite obvious (Baad mn chappal thodi na khani hai). 99% of the students voted for Railway Station.(Baaki 1% ko Bhagwan bachayein)


How "WHY" can help us?

In the above-mentioned scenarios, the railway station is 4 Km away while Ratan's Samosa shop is 500 m away, heavy rain being common in both. Even though Railway Station is 4 km away 99% of students chose to vote for it as there was a strong "WHY" associated with their action. On asking them what if they catch a cold or do not find appropriate means of transport to reach the Railway Station; they told their goal was still greater than these obstacles. 




We all may sometimes get tired of the work we are doing or the amount of hard work we are required to put in and some other obstacles which may be hindering our paths. Just try answering these simple questions right then: 

Are these obstacles worth the energy I am giving them? 

Aren't my dreams bright enough to outshine every minute hindrance in my path? 

It's you who has to choose between Samosa and Railway Station.

Any "HOW"  becomes possible if you have got big enough "WHY"

 

What's your "WHY" to live? Is it becoming an IAS or it is that Manali trip you're planning with your friends? Is it the smile on the face of your parents or that red blush on that special friend's face? Is it that sweet rasogulla or spicy golgappa? Is it your revolutionary dreams or your true zeal to fulfill them? I would choose all of the above!

Failures are pillars to success


Dear Reader, don't let the circumstances fool you about your potential, don't let your valuable dreams kneel in front of these temporary obstacles. Let's have the best "WHY" to live this amazing life and do let me know in the comment section. Feedback will be most welcoming!✨

Think You Know Java? These 5 Questions Say Otherwise

By
  Hello everyone! Hope you’re sipping your coffee just right—because I’ve brewed something equally strong for your brain. Welcome to a blog that dives into 5 deceptively tricky Java interview questions —the kind that test not just what you know, but how well you understand Java under the hood. If you, like me, share a love-hate relationship with this language, this blog might just hit home. So, let's get started... Question 1: What will be the output of the following code? Why? class Parent { static void staticMethod() { System.out.println("Static method in Parent"); } private void privateMethod() { System.out.println("Private method in Parent"); } void show() { staticMethod(); privateMethod(); } } class Child extends Parent { static void staticMethod() { System.out.println("Static method in Child"); } private void privateMethod() { System.out.println("Pr...

Are we happy enough?

 Hey Mitra! how's everything? What was that hilarious thing that made you laugh absurdly today? Who was the person who filled your day with all the love in the world just by a small act of kindness? Let me reverse the question how many lives did you fill with positivity or humbleness today ? If the answer is none, then this blog may have something to add  to your life. Let me share with you an interesting event that just took place. Two children were playing a game which they called "How many". Rules were simple, one had to ask the questions by adding "how many" like, " how many planets are there in our solar system ?" Another had to answer. The game was quite interesting  and suddenly a question appeared "how many muscles does it take to smile?" The child seeking the answer smiled curiously and tried to locate all the muscles involved in smiling right then at the moment and his friend helped him too in a manner like," ohh look, there...

The Lost Childhood

The lost childhood Hello everybody...Our lives have been quite clumsy, unusual and tiring but but but do you remember the time when our only tension was the pending homework?! Ofc you do remember...why not take a dive into what special we had back then TV shows Netflix and all is cool but do you remember when all you needed was Shaka laka BOOM BOOM pencil or Ben 10 Omnitrix. When you waited for whole week just for that one hour episode of M.A.D. When you internally wept when Ishan from Tare Zameen Par was sent to hostel and jumped out of joy when Aamir Khan entered singing Bam Bam Bole! Life right then was so simple ugh? Ohh did I not mention about Shinchan, Doraemon, Noddy, DBZ and on and on. I guess list wouldn't end any soon. Sharat! Uff. The Games we played You may have played PUBG, COD, Free Fire or Among Us in recent times right? But what about playing Pakdam Pakdai with your paltan Or Barafpani? Or just gathering together and playing Marbles and that game with one leg up (te...
