Every now and then comes a point when we stop to think about the path we are going at, and wonder whether it is really the right one for us. I do admit that initial choices in my life were not really informed choices and so yes I do suffer from all the dilemmas and contemplations that I discussed in my earlier post.
For past few days I was wondering whether I really want to create social enterprises and be a part of educational system throughout my careers? Is it really what I want to do, or just a temporary fad ? What if it is that I struck with one idea and just want to stick to it for life?
It was then that I came across something that convinced me beyond doubt that I would be happy doing what I plan to do. This was an article that I had written just after my 12th class boards. I gave my engineering entrance exams, and even under the stress and pressure of the entrance exam season I had chosen to reflect on the way the examination process and systems in place could be improved. (article included below)
It gives a comfort cushion to feel that yes, subconsciously that is what I enjoy doing. Hopefully going forward I would be able to say with complete conviction and truth that I have a job that doesn’t feel like one !

Agreed, I have also faced many such problems in examinations centers but never thought in this way. Sitting arrangements, permission of water bottles and pencil boxes etc inside the hall, filling of students details on answer sheets are quite a general problems in every examination centers and they can be eliminated easily by providing them a common information sheet filled by the examinations coordinators. The only problem is the lack of information available and that what we are trying to solve.

Well i believe aforementioned problems are “Inadvertent Blunders”. A system isn’t established in a single year, it take couple years to evolve, requires inputs and feedback of the people passing through it. A general tendency of the common mass is to scream only when the suffer and to blame the organizations. I wanted to ask how many have went to the concerned authorities and given their feedback. If the things doesn’t improve after this, yeah then we got the right to blame.
There is a well known saying in hindi “Maa bhi bache ko tabhi doodh pilati hai jab woh rota hai”.
And that’s the difference VISVAS is making, raising their voices and make sure it reach to the right person.
And regarding the dilemma, it puts me into a dilemma, how a person who knows the concept of resonance can choose to vibrate at a different frequency.

dilemma is just to keep a check on myself to make sure that I am at my true resonant frequency …. its always nice to keep a check.
Whats more important is also the fact that as we gain exposure and learn, it is good to check for higher peaks in the neighbouring frequencies.
