\u201cThe things you own end up owning you. It's only after you lose everything that you're free to do anything.\u201d\u2015 Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club <\/p>
Materialism,that is what our previous generation have followed and living with. They preferred things over people and experiences. Get a job,car,house and live a life around it. \"naya ghar naya car\". They preferred owning things. Many of them built a routine around the materialistic life and started calling it a life.<\/p>
New generation have started showing their mark. People started moving from place to place hunting for new experiences rather than owning things at a place. Materialistic things have now taken a backseat. Experiential economy have started thriving all around the world. People prefer spending money on doing things rather than merely owing them. Experience is their high and feeling their new luxury. This generation doesn't want to accumulate things like their older generation.Things doesn't come with you, but experiences and feelings do come. Follow your intuition and live around experiences.<\/p>
Author's note:<\/i><\/b><\/p>
Experiential economy:As economy in which many goods or services are sold by emphasising the effect they can have on people's lives.<\/i><\/b><\/p>

Everyone has that one crack head friend who is completely and utterly obsessed with horror films and the macabre; and if you don\u2019t have a friend like that, then it\u2019s probably you. When it comes to me and my group of idiots, we are all a bunch of teenage addicts of adrenaline rush. Who wouldn't want to feel like a super human every now and then even though its for a very short time? That's what adrenaline rush does to you.<\/p>
I'm one step away from becoming an adult and to whoever said that ageing is a beautiful feeling-Let me tell you pal, that is absolute crap.<\/p>
When I was eighteen-months-old, a lot of things happened. If you really thought I was going to share everything I did as a baby, then there's something wrong with you. I'm not Lucky<\/a>. I don't even remember what I ate for yesterday's dinner. That's how good my memory power is. Impressive, isn't it?<\/p>My childhood passed in a flash at lightening speed. It was cringe-worthy and not worth sharing at all. I did everything from sneaking out to stealing money. You know, the typical childhood of an Indian girl.<\/p>When I was thirteen, insecurities were over the top of everything in my life and confidence wasn't even on the list. My young self was naive enough to let people's words get through my head. I didn't fit in. Friendship was pretty non-existent. I was an introvert. I still am. I hated crowds. I still do. I was terrified of speaking in public. I almost fell into depression. It was dark times. But as Dumbledore said and I quote,\"Happiness can be found in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light.\"<\/i><\/p>Guess, I forgot to turn on the light. After living in the sheer darkness for over an year, I saw it for the first time in a very long time. It wasn't the dramatic light effect.<\/p>I dodged opportunities then, I chase them now. I didn't knew my self worth then, but now I don't accept anything less than what I deserve. The naive thirteen-year-old is long gone and for good. The worst fears still exist but I have learned to overpower them. I built a china wall with a negativity filter around my head. This didn't happen over a night. In fact, it took a lot of nights and insomnia to become what I'm today.<\/p>I thought I wasted years of my life on the internet instead of preparing for Entrance tests. I found acceptance there. My loneliness was cured. I saw the world in a different light. I found an escape from the world and that's when books became my best friends. I still spend more time reading than with my friends. I realised I had been living under a rock the whole time. There's so much to this world that many of us chose not to see. <\/p>I still remember the times when me and my aunt would grow excited on Saturday nights. We would have it all planned. The blankets, the popcorn, the pillows and of course dimmed lights. I would leave the door unlocked to run out of the room, just in case if a Zombie jumps out of the TV to come and eat me alive. Yeah laugh all you want. But it doesn't change the fact that life is much more cruel. It has no mercy and there's no permanent escape. One can only strengthen themselves and face it or succumb to it. Its inevitable.<\/p>It started out small. Who would have thought the once strangers I met online would change my life forever? As cliche as that statement sounds, its true. One taught me kindness. One brought fun to my boring life. All of them broadened my mind to a whole new level. What they say is true: People don't walk into your life for no reason.<\/p>The change is happening gradually. Sure, it costed me a much better engineering seat but I wouldn't trade it for anything and one day, I was looking at myself in the mirror and I knew it was all worth the failure. Because it was the moment I fell in love. One of the best feelings I have ever felt. I was proud because I'm not girl I used to be and I'm not sorry about that. Its called growth and I thank god for it everyday.<\/p>All this wouldn't have happened if I hadn't hit the ground that one time. Rock bottoms will teach you things that mountain tops never will.<\/p>Loving yourself is a struggle. Its not about making excuses for your flaws but rather accepting them. In life, I made mistakes and learned from them but I don't have any regrets. Because all of those mistakes, lead me here. With each passing day, I fall in love with myself all over again.<\/p>Self acceptance is something that's not easy to achieve. But once you do, trust me, you have won at life. You will feel stronger, not because of your muscle but because of your mental strength to break social constructs and pave your own path.<\/p>The greatest feeling is knowing yourself inside out. One of the biggest challenges in life is being yourself, unapologetically. After all, you are the one you should love in this world.<\/p>\"Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage, just literally twenty seconds of embarrassing bravery and I promise you, something great will come out of it.\"<\/i><\/p><\/p><\/p>Author's note: I may sound like I'm bragging. I'm just trying to reach people with my experiences. No matter how small the audience is, I would be delighted if at least one good thing comes out of it. Thanks for reading my sob story.

Managing time effectively is an art that, like many other forms of art, can be learned. Of course, it goes without saying that you must be willing to learn it in the first place, otherwise there is no point, is there?<\/p>
I've found out recently that if one wakes up earlier in the day, they are likely to find that they days are much longer than what they're used to. Waking up at 5AM enables you to get much more done than waking up late and sleeping late, that just boosts lethargy and makes you slower. Yes, that's a thing. So how can you make sure you can be effective when it comes to time management?<\/p>
1. Wake up early: <\/b><\/p>
This one was obvious, wasn't it? Not only does waking up early ensure that you are ready to tackle the day ahead of the curve, it also ensures that you will sleep early to make up for the sleeping time to facilitate you waking up early in the first place. You'll also find that your days are longer and that you can accomplish much more than what you previously thought was possible, including hitting the gym that you've been promising to do. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1514969048024","data":"5a4c988db4cec"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1514969050511","data":"
2. Underpromise, Overdeliver: <\/b> <\/p>

But yes - someone great once said,<\/p>
To strive and strive, and seek your stead,<\/p>

My blurry speck shall then glow,<\/p>
And set me apart from the starlit flow,<\/p>
When the Sky lights up with my glittery gale,<\/p>
The Earthly Bower shall sing my tale,<\/p>
That I fell deep and rose that high,<\/p>
Led by will I dared to fly,<\/p>
And each time that I broke down,<\/p>
My Earthly Bower lifted me,<\/p>
So that every night and every dawn,<\/p>

Contributions to the society:<\/b><\/p>
\nMr. Ratan's strong belief of giving wealth back to the people is reflected in his donations of approximately 60-70 per cent of his wealth, especially in the support of education, medicine and rural development, distinguishing him as a leading philanthropist in India.In 2010, Tata Group companies and Tata charities donated $50 million for the construction of an executive center at Harvard Business School (HBS).The executive center has been named Tata Hall, after Ratan Tata (AMP '75), chairman emeritus of Tata Sons. The total construction costs have been estimated at $100 million. <\/p>
Tata Hall is located in the northeast corner of the HBS campus, and is devoted to the Harvard Business School's mid-career Executive Education program. It is seven stories tall, and about 155,000 gross square feet. It houses approximately 180 bedrooms, in addition to academic and multi-purpose spaces.

My idea of college, I believe was a lot linked to infrastructure and the fancy facilities that permitted me to explore un-chartered territory and secretly find about a secret society that existed years ago but is functioning till date, only secretly this time. \n\nEither way, St. Francis wasn\u2019t on top of my list. \n\nIt was a back-up I thought I wouldn\u2019t need. \n\nBut well, now I am the Undergraduate student who\u2019s not going to spend 3 years during her B A studies but 4. I changed my course after two semesters of B-Com, and now pursue Arts. <\/p>
\nIt seems almost that because there was so much that I had on my list to what \u2018looked like a good college\u2019 , is that I landed in one that is well, to put it mildly , in stark contradiction to the idea of a \u2018handsome\u2019 college. It doesn\u2019t have vast areas where you can bicycle your way around the campus exploring, nor has swimming pools or multiple canteens and multiple auditoriums or a \u2018sunset\u2019 point etc etc. \n\nBUT , now that I sit\/lay down\/ whilst listening to what I am now calling new-age music gone classic-vintage; I realise that a good college doesn\u2019t have to look \u2018great\u2019. You just need to be \u2018good\u2019 to it ( in more non-metaphorical or vague or philosophical terms - have an open eye to what you see and know, and don\u2019t jump to conclusions to sit on your butt complaining about shit you don\u2019t have and the so-called shit you do have).You be good to it, and it will be great to you. Yes. <\/p>
\n\nYou\u2019ll realise the the Library has the hidden secret-societies you were looking for. The canteen is economical and noisy and well, better than a bench with tea and samosas only. The indoor stadium is actually in a state you can still boast about it, and there\u2019s basketball too. The pani -puri guy and needs-dhaba is more than any midnight-maggie point you wish for. \nYou get to eat ghar-ka-khana and have the joy of opening your tiffin box and bask on the glory of its contents knowing that it shall be tasty and worth the wait through the sleepy hours. You bond with friends sitting on the floor in the corridors of your 3 floor main UG Block, than what you would have thought on a campfire in grass at a national fest. You have rocks and trees that connect you with Nature, and more often than not with my dear friend.You have inspiring literature TEACHERS who know why they are teaching what they do, and how they do.<\/p>
You learn that self-sufficiency is the key to survival, and not dependency on the class whatsapp group for last minute notes hours before the exam. You adapt to multi-tasking as you plan for three birthday parties in the same month, just days apart. You imbibe efficient working as you give yourself only hours to finish an assignment because you know you'll live up to the task. You struggle with identifying yourself in the pile of things\/activities\/responsibilities you sign up for. There is always someone else who is just that little 'notch' higher on the scale of comparision.<\/p>
You find really similar yet insane people who are trying just as hard as you to not just fit in, but stand out. You find passion and also the lack of it. But somewhere between all of this tangled mess, you discover a little more about yourself, and for that, you have your college to thank.<\/p>"}]
