I was preparing for board exams and used to take classes for late.

Once I got very late and left the class around 10:30pm. So there were 2 routes that lead to my home, 1 was a long route that takes around 45min to reach the home and another one was a short cut but deserted after evening. As I was already late and hungry, I decided to take the short cut. (Biggest mistake.)

On that route, I had to cross a railway track and then walk around 2km to reach my home while also crossing a deserted hospital on the way.

Weather was pleasant that day and I was in a good mood when I plugged my earphone on and started walking.

Everything was normal until I reach near that hospital.

When I reached there, suddenly the wind was cold and I had a goosebumps. It was strange because in Mumbai we always have humidity.

However, I kept walking when I felt like someone is walking behind me. I turned around but no-one was there. I continue to walk when I saw in some distant there was a woman in saree (Indian tradition cloth of a woman) that seemed like my neighbour aunt. I was relieved thinking that now I don’t have to walk alone on that creepy road.

I shouted, calling her name but there was no response so I started to walk faster towards her but however couldn’t get closer to her, so I started to literally run towards her still calling her name and she was still walking in a normal speed but somehow the distance between us kept unchanged. I couldn’t understand what was happening so I stopped and tried to figure out what the actual thing I was chasing, I kept looking at her and in a fraction of seconds she disappeared into thin air. (Mind you that road was all straight for at least 1km and there was no place to hide) no way she could run away or hide somewhere.

That was enough, I lost control over myself and started running like a dog and only stopped at my home.

I was so scared that I got fever that lasted for a week. Next day I told everything to my family but they didn’t believe and shrugged it off saying I should take some rest from studies and that I am imagining things.

But weird things started to happen. I used to feel like someone was caressing my hair when I am sleeping. I was afraid to be in the dark and I remember seeing silhouette in my room whenever I was alone but this time I didn’t tell these things to my family. But one day my cousin whom I shared my room with came running out of the room screaming.

We were all in the hall watching TV.

When she was asked what happen, she said that after taking shower when she entered the room she saw “me” sitting near the window watching outside (I usually used to sit there after getting done with my studies) she opened the cupboard and was searching for something when she tried to ask me whether I saw what she was searching for… Getting no reply from me, she looked towards the direction on the window and found no-one there.

I was still in the hall with everyone watching the television. After listening to her I expressed what I was dealing with for a week. Now the family believed that something was indeed fishy and took me to the holy place. There we met with a person who solve these kind of cases. He blows some verses of the Qur’an on me and told my elders to never let me be alone in that house and strictly told me not to go by that road ever again. He didn’t tell me the reason as he felt I was too young to know that.

However things didn’t happen like that again and we even left that home after 3-4 months.

So that’s it!

Class 4th, I failed History on the midterm exam.

Class 5th, I got 50/100 marks in Maths despite attaching 5 supplements. My teacher laughed at me.

Class 10th, 87%. This is because of one Ma’am who instilled confidence in me, and I will always be grateful to her.

But after 10th in High School again, I lost my motivation again.

Class 12th, 67%. Yup, Maths I got 39/100. 35 is a passing Mark.

I took admission to a private college since could not get admission to a Government College.

B. Tech – Maths, I failed!! I was shattered after this. I felt totally hopeless, and worthless.

Then in SY of B.Tech, my Mom shared a viral video of The Secret with me. I saw that video and realized that all these years I was constantly manifesting all of the negativity in my life. Before going to exams, I was repeatedly thinking about failure, so all these years I had been thinking in the wrong way. So this was the turning point in my life. Now instead of failure, I started thinking about appreciation from all of my family members, my relatives, my teachers, etc.

SY B.Tech, Instead of only thinking ‘don’t’, I started taking action instead. I started to study for 5 hours every day.

SY Btech 1st semester SGPA = 8.1!! Yes!

I could not believe it at first, but after this happened I was a celebrity in my college. Everyone started calling me Topper. After this, I was so enthusiastic and I just wanted to study more.

Fast forward to my final year of B.Tech. I got a CGPA of 8.2 and I was the second rank in class! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It feels magical, right? But it took all of the hard work of the last 3 years to come out of that slump until I was FY B.Tech. Today I can say that I am very grateful that all of the people who made fun of me initially in earlier days are praising me for all of my achievements now. My cousins who used to think that I was worthless, now today, now see me as a bright and competent person.

I am so happy to have found The Secret and the law of attraction. They have really changed my life and I mean it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you so very much to Rhonda Byrne Ma’am, you are a real gem!! Thank you so very much to the Universe. Thank you so very much for the law of attraction, I am so happy and so grateful for everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The post Do you believe in hardwork? lets read the interesting story shared by Amit a B.Tech Student from Mallareddy College of Information and Technology (Attapur) appeared first on .

India as a country has become alcoholic. Until a few years back, we had people drinking and smoking in college but they always tried not to showcase it as it was considered bad. With the advent of social media, being stupid and drunk has become the new being cool. College students go out partying and drinking and consider not drinking as being uncool. Everything is fine until it exceeds a certain limit, but students are not able to draw a line which is a real cause for concern.

Lack of Interest and Motivation

College is not like school. Indian students are spoon fed throughout school and they constantly attend classes, extra classes, tests and tuitions to learn the same concepts day in day out and finally vomit everything on the day of final exam. Some of the students are pushed into courses which they don’t prefer and it makes them rather depressed. Students lose interest and forget the actual purpose of going to college and tend to become lethargic and uninterested. When reality finally dawns upon them in the final semester, it is already too late.

Mess Food

College and Hostel fees are higher than ever, but still the facilities for students remain sub standard in most colleges. It is easier to find an extinct animal than a hostel mess which provides decent food. It is the nightmare of any hosteller and they spend their days in cookies and maggi which is not very good for health. Students constantly fall sick and no number of strikes or protests changes this pathetic condition in many colleges. It is high time a board was set up to inspect the food in colleges and make random checks to make colleges understand the seriousness.

Stress

Another common problem faced by today’s younger generation is too much of stress and peer pressure. While the earlier generations studied and worked they were not remotely as stressed as the current lot. They are constantly monitored, and there is a constant need for competition and extra effort. Things are constantly changing and they have to keep themselves updated to stay in the game, otherwise it is very easy to get left behind while the others keep moving forward.

Part-Time Jobs

Until not so long back, parents would never let their precious kids take up part time jobs. In India, working and studying was never appreciated. But with increased tuition fees and sky-rocketing book prices, many students are taking up part time jobs. Part-time jobs when related to what they study, is actually useful and can provide a great experience. But, most students take up jobs in pizza outlets and petrol bunks which distract them from studies and could pose a significant problem to their growth.

Relationship Problems

Being in a relationship is one of the most awaited dreams of most students. Finding a person who likes you back is not easy to find and when that happens there is no better feeling. But this happiness is more often than not short-lived. Very soon, relationships can become a mental block and might hamper the relationship with other people like friends and roommates. Break ups can be very hard to take at this age and can make the students depressed.

Roommates

For most college students, roommates are the biggest nightmare. It is a rarity to find someone who gets a roommate who he/she gets along with. Most roommates like any husband and wife get on each other’s nerves and the mere sight of the roommate can make one lose his mind. Spending long hours with the same people can be taxing, but students should realize the days spent fighting and hating are days wasted and could be used for better purposes.

Finance

Increased tuition fee, hostel costs, eating out, birthday treats, gifts for girlfriend/boyfriend and by the end of the first week all the money your parents sent for that month are over. After the first week or maximum by the second the students hardly eat. College students drop out of college each year because they cannot afford it.

Hostel life

Hostel life is fun. The freedom of not being forced to eat and sleep in time and having the option to go “Maggi” any time makes it fun. But it is always short lived. As days go by, things become monotonous and boring. Students start missing the comforts of home. Washing their own clothes and not being able to have a bed coffee are some of the things students really start to miss. Homesickness is a huge problem for most kids, but there is no solution for this because it is part of growing up. It is better to accept and move on.

Studying …Still!

The most common problem faced by students is that they find it hard to accept the fact that going to college doesn’t mean end of your academics. Partially influenced by movies, which show college students only in canteens and theaters students often think college is merely fun. When presented with actual facts like results and monthly tests they tend to get depressed. The parents and teachers should also be blamed for telling their kids, finish school and no one will ever force you to study again. The only possible solution is to understand that college is a place where we can make friends and have fun but it doesn’t end there. The ultimate purpose is to learn and shape your future.
