I wish to write every week , I wish someone throws a basket full of latest ideas at me and gives extraordinary powers to write an excellent piece. I promised myself to post within seven days of my last post. I accept, sometimes my haste might end up eating your brain and time, but I will post.  It is the seventh day  and I am not yet prepared with any KG laws.  It should not happen again. I wonder how days passed so quickly, is it because of Global Warming? or probably someone is putting all efforts to rotate the time wheel quickly to deceive me. I will find it, how in a very less span, seven days ended. May be because of this: : : : : : 

yyuuhhuuu! Result out on 17th, 3.12 pointer, not bad, adulated by few, but need to improve. With this pointer I abjured the deal  to get a car in return of an exceptionally high pointer. I am pretty sure , at the time of making deal with BIG B of our family, I was lured with the thought to get a car as my reward. I struck the deal in full awareness but failed to strike the jackpot. Anyway, the dream to drive my own car in hilly roads will continue to be a dream, whose existence in real world is still awaited. I wish, anyhow I can negotiate the deal maker to excuse me for few marks and fulfill the rest of the terms of contract (especially my CAR).  MMHH ! I have an idea. lets  make another deal, I will give you all my certificates that I have earned in this semester and you add each certificate as one mark. If it reaches to the terms of the contract, car is mine. <<<<DEAL DONE>>>>

BHUMM mobile dropped!!! broke the silence of the night.  I wish I could enjoy the night life like Hollywood movies, dancing colorful lights, high bass sounds, mock tail with cock tail.  But busy making REPORT..  BOREDOM.....

Everyone is sleeping at home, I would have finished with my report work by now but still working on it. I have eight days left here and report completion and presentations are still to be done. I found so many books on IPR in the library, but my topic of research is not clearly coming out in any book. It needs a thorough research.  For your reference, the topic of my research is, "The role of patents in Renewable Energy Technology innovations: International challenges and issues."

So much to do, so much to get, that much I have, sleeping for now . 

GI GI GI GI wow! So much I learnt

The conference on " A Decade of GI Act in India: An Impact Assessment" was held on 10th January 2015 in NLSIU, Bangalore. I was the participant and also among the organizing team  as a part of the research team for CIPRA. It was a great learning experience, I started working from the first day of my joining, i.e. 22nd December 2014. My experience was not only to the extent that I gain ed knowledge in the ambit of the GI and its mechanism in Karnataka, I also indulged myself in the background material formation and writing of an  article. Thus, I faced some failures and happy moments, but the event concluded with panache. The reasons for success and failures you will find in  the following paragraphs but I couldn't  differentiate between a  success and failure while portraying the work I have done in 22 days. So I hope you can help me out.  ( HAPPILY LIVED).

GI ? Geographical Indication, it is the indication to the consumer about the origin of the good and its originality. This could be a vague definition coming from my own perspective but it will serve your purpose to form a picture for GI. Examples are Nagpur Orange, Darjeeling Tea, Dharwed Peda, these food items give an idea to a consumer of its origin itself. The Government of India have protected the good under the Geographical Indication of Goods (Registration & Protection) Act, 1999 which  came into force with effect from 15th September 2003. This Act has marked a significant approach in the fair trade in India, it is a way to stop the forging and counterfeiting of certain special value products. The fact is that India has around 215 goods protected under GI but lots of other products in India have the potential to be registered as GI  but sadly this hasn't been done. This could be because of  governmental negligence or because the producer is not aware of the rights vested with them. The splendid discussion in the conference were on the following issues:

• The challenges and issues to get GI registered
• Protection of GI, 
• Role of Government and NGO for the sustainable development of the registered GI.
• Management of the stack
• To spread awareness among producers and consumers .

The stakeholders of all 32 registered GI of Karnataka were present in the conference to present the views on the same. I was enthralled to see the associations and organisations working to protect their creativity and artistic skills which dwells in that area. 

Apart from the fact that gathered immense knowledge through the conference, the entire exercise of assisting in organizing the conference fine tuned my capabilities to do things like making background  materials, brochures, collages, cover pages, to name a few. It was a moment of pride for me when every delegate was handed a copy of the background material we had prepared. 

The first task given to me was to design a cover page for the conference, I suggested to make a collage of 32 GIs of Karnataka which was to be framed in a shield, depicting protection of goods by GI. So opinion is easy to give but difficult to follow. I started working on the task with my friend Mr. Gaurav Mishra,( bro your introduction will be given in the final post of this month)  who is also an intern with me in CIPRA.  to be more precised he is a senior  intern.  His design was selected and mine was in the trash. But I never felt exhausted , I liked the way my colleague used his intellect and gave a shape of "GI" to the 32 images to form a logo in ppt. It was an excellent art and example of using brain to develop  new and unique, I realized shield is an old design which have had in old times. So this was not one where I failed actually I succeeded in realizing the fact that from our intellect we can bring the change in custom. 

trashed logo :D :P

The next task was to write an article. I had never done this before, but still to make a debut I started and with all the possible facts and language checks from the great people I knew, I successfully drafted a 3 page article and sent it to the mentor. Okay! the conference is over   and  yet my article is still in the new mail category. Would you call it a FAILURE ? You may say so but I believe it is not. I was successful in drafting  a vague article which gave me the needed confidence to write another. Even if it again gets rejected  I am sure I will give myself another chance till I get an article published. And so, once again I could find another success from my failure. 

Now the funniest experience," THE COLLAGE", collage making , I don't remember when I did that last, probably in my school time. But an order from a mentor is to be obliged and there is no other option, with all my efforts and intellect I designed a collage on the latest GI news  but again it could only manage to occupy memory in my drive nothing else.  I am thus clearing my disk by posting it here for my self appreciation. And of course a chain of thanks to the same fellow, who helped me in completing the task, We then made a paper collage on the chart paper, I was following  his directions with utmost concentration because drawing neatly on a paper is something GREEK to me, so finally we ended up with two collages on the conference day.  I regret the days when I asked my sisters to make a collage for me back in school , that was a time of building cells for such creative work but I neglected it with great precision :P . It is never too late, I am happy that this conference gave me so many things to learn in a professional manner, which I would carry with me always. 

Trashed Collage :D :P

Perhaps, "failure is the key of success" could be the cause of winning in the long run for me. If I have only learnt from the events that happened to me during the GI conference,  then from where does  failure come into the picture  ????????? I couldn't find any, hope you can.

Fearless fear!!!!!!!!!!

After drafting a post for the passion of my life or the failure of my life, I am not posting it yet. For the last six days my brain is searching for the old memory in the stack and it has done a great job, I have a vivid picture of my past and I have completed my new post but suddenly what changes my mind  is that I am constraining myself to this post. What are the forces which are putting so many limitations on me? I don’t know. Probably the fear. The fear that I will unveil the secrets of my life. But I never feared, did I?

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."

- Paulo Coelho

Why we fear? Of what we fear? Is there anything that exist like “fear”? So many questions, I don’t know from where this has come to my mind. But do ponder on it for a minute to find the deepest fear which haunt us day and night, stops us from performing a task, which makes us do excessive work, puts us in a dilemma that calls for lot of lies. What fear is? I think it varies from people to people.

If it varies from people to people does it vary from caste to caste, society to country, male to female, from a rich to a poor, stronger to the weaker, how the cycle of fear actually goes on. Or is it a negative force that works on the principle of the first law of thermodynamics,” Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transferred from one body to another”, that means fear is the energy which enters into one body and  leaves only when the person learns to work over his fear and then it moves to the other body to teach us the facts of the life.

Is there any person who is without fear? I know so many people who proudly say,” I never feared in my life, I am ready to accept whatever comes in my way”. The contradicting fact to your tough personality is this that you are the people who are most fearful. You don’t want to let anyone know about the fear buried in your body, you are ready to accept whatever comes to your way because you don’t want to make efforts to live up your dreams. For me these people are on the top grade in the list of the people who fear the most. Do you think millionaires  have any fear in their life or  are they the ones who fear the least? I know for a fact that millionaires fear a million things and for a million reasons. Fear doesn't even spare the millionaires.

But the person who is earning a morsel of bread and butter for his family, does he fear? Yes even he fears for his future, he wants to reach the place where there is no worry in his life, he wants to live like a millionaire.why "like a millionaire" though? Don't they already live a life in fear.

Animals are ones about whom we cannot predict. But they fear too, fear of being hunted and fear of not being able to hunt.

Fear is a naturally existing emotion which ripens day after day , it prepares you to take greater responsibilities. It exists in every person, it is the progenitor of success, the one which will help you find your goals, help in showing you the directions of your life. A successful person is not the one who has never feared, he is the one who has established his way by making a friendly collaboration with his fear. Trust your fear.

I know my fear, it is to write articles for now and I am working on it to set myself free from the chains of fear. The decision is yours, know yourself, find in yourself, and perceive your deepest fear. Do not fear the fear, it is the master of time, listen to its call carefully!!!!!!!!!

"Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up"

-Veronica Roth

Take a chance

This might become  the worst post ever aired on web but making and completing a promise is far greater than taking a chance.  I am not at all a typical writer, novelist or author but I hope I can  justify this title "take a chance" from one of my latest experiences. I took almost a year to finally pad up myself to contribute to  the "world of blogs". Though many people have helped in padding me but let's move forward without giving  them much credit because it is me who is doing a final task of bringing my thoughts down to the paper. 

I am 21 right now and I am quite a serious looking guy as always quoted by my friends but I never felt this , not at all actually whenever I stand in front of mirror I find myself pretty cool handsome guy. Ok ! no more jokes on personality because it is something god gifted, so respect it always. But I wonder how a good personality, a good tongue to speak, will hinder the way to success. I strongly believe we can climb on to any hill but what all is needed is "THE SELF CONFIDENCE". Trust your instincts and move ahead. 

It was told to us by our college administrators to arrange for the  winter legal internship on our own from December 2014 to January 2015 as a part of degree program. Arrange for law internship! That was enough to blow my mind. I was having no clue what the legal internships are all about. I am in the 4th year of B.Tech LLB course but studying laws are really a difficult task for me and all of a sudden, internship for a month, was really a good way to spoil our winter vacations. 

I never intended to do an internship in winters, it is a time to pack yourself in blankets and enjoy your hot favorite dishes. So to avoid this interruption in my happy life, I found a way. I knew one of my father's friend who is a lawyer, working under him would be the best option to enjoy the vacations at home and getting a certificate to present myself as the hardworking guy to the world. So I conveyed my genius thoughts to my elder sister, I never expected that but how easily she managed to throw my genius thoughts in the bin just by saying to me, "don't waste your life working in a small town . You should search for better opportunities in big cities and make your career". That was the moment I realized what crap I was generating in my mind just to enjoy winters which comes every year or may be to rest at home and enjoy a lavish life with mom's love.

That night was the turning point which made me realize my mistake. I started googling renowned law firms and mark down most of the   opportunities available to my field, now mobility was not at all a question to me. May be because something has hurt my ego in those two lines or may be broaden up my mind, this is a still a question whose answer is not with me for now. I never knew but doing this, a wee search of mine, will shower me an opportunity to travel to 2250 kms away from home.

I was prepared with the list of contact details for the winter law internship. Luckily I got off from the college as the preparation leave for the exams which were scheduled to take place in December. I was hardly left with five days to find for the internship which I was supposed to get started just after the end semester exams. I drafted a cover letter and modified the CV according to the internship. 

Hundreds of question ran into my mind, I can actually differentiate all the three parts of my brain at that moment, that was the nervousness I suppose or the over excitement of sending a mail along with the CV attached with my name to different people whom I don't know. Finally with all my power, needed for the first click acting against my hundreds of questions, I sent the mail. Now second, third, fourth, fifth ....................ty.   It took five minutes to send the first mail but hardly 2 minutes to send it to the list. 

I was so happy, feeling out of the world, for the things which “everyone do”. But sending an application is not enough, reply to that application is the most important. I started checking my mail every day, without getting late by a second to see the level rise in the pool of messages. Finally the wait was over, a single number rise in the inbox, fortunately someone replied. From the long list I managed to get only one reply within three days. Quite disappointed. But that was enough to make me happy that someone is there who actually read my mail. 

The mail was the computer generated copy by the firm thanking the mail they have received and asking me to wait for further information. Now the time was for the miracle to happen. I received a mail from a national law college, my eyes opened as widely as it can be, National Law College, the mail was addressed to me in a very professional manner and subjected as, "Behalf of your E-mail dated 21.11.14 for the internship at ................. this is the acceptance letter issued under the ........................." 

I was not on the ground for that moment, I called my same sister, actually same means I am a proud brother of three sisters, so I called her and told about this and forwarded the mail to her. This was not enough, the next day I went to college and started lullaby to my friends about the acceptance of internship from a dream university of lawyers. I never expected that to happen with me. 

I realized that day, if I would have prepared myself to set back with the same thoughts of reaching to the place which is easily approachable, I would not have enjoyed the ambiance of  a nation level treatment. That moment the only thing coming to my mind was the wallpaper I downloaded few days back and posted on twitter, it was a bird or a butterfly, still could not differentiate, flying to the most beautiful line "take a chance".

This experience is related to my life and I am eagerly waiting to experience more so that I can bring it  to you. Happy blogging and always prepare yourself to take a chance.
