Cheerful giving !

WHAT COUNTS...
A quote hanging in Albert Einstein s office said Not everything that counts can be counted ,
and not everything that can be counted counts .
There are times when you do things
 which can t really be expressed and explained ...

The time you take to talk to the lost and the lonely,

time you share yourself of your time and resources
forgoing something you wanted to do
 in order to sacrifice for all those underprivileged.
These are defining moments in your day and in your life;Vital moments which express our being....
In our busy lives ,when the whole world encourages increased professionalism
and organisation and there s more to do than ever;
let s always keep in the forefront of our minds that we are humans....


Going ahead in life is a major concern but while on that pathway... 
SHARE AND CARE !!
GIVING IS LIVING ...
If we can t really help others and be true messengers of love,peace and harmony ;
all of our great stats and accomplishments and our ticked to-dos are in vain and profit us nothing...
Life can t always explain why how,where but there s something more to life than really being in a race
and trying to be the best...
If you can go to bed at night knowing that you have shown enough love,
care and affection to your fellow beings
then you can rest knowing that you ve accomplished something truly great ...eternal...

DEBATE IT CHARMAINE !!

It was a tuesday morning !
Navin Pai , GS of CURSOR council contacted me informing me about a tech fest at goa university .He said I had to take part in two events FLIP FLOP and COUNTER PUNCH !
Flip Flop was ex-tempo speaking and counter punch was a debate !

Initially ,I thought "Oh ! God will I make it ?"
Even though i had taken part in loads of competitions in skool and had won each one !! I wasn't sure of myself and that was irking me ... I didn't give it a thought , just attended the lectures and finally the day came where TEAM CURSOR had to leave for the "INFOFEST-2011".

The first day i had to take part In COunter PUnch (Debate) and flip flop.
At 11.30am was round 1 of Debate wherein  we had to write an Essay .The topic was Can computers replace the human brain in the near future ?
I remember writing something onto that piece of paper , It went onto ask the reader a question "Would you ever like to be married to a person whose brain was a computer ?"
I'm sure the judges didn't stress much on such a humor else we wudn't be qualified !!!

at 2.20pm began Flip flop , with my pulse soaring to 144 instead of the normal 72 ...
I was 8th in the row and had so much of pressure, it wasn't something for me , it was for my team .I got such a weak topic , it was whether "Paperless office is a mirage or Paperless office isn't a mirage.Can  technical gadgets replace paper and pen?"
For a moment i THOUGHT I would change the topic but then for that there was a penalty of -2 points.
I gathered all the courage in this universe ,I coined a few points and finally ended with the blabber.I knew it wasn't upto the mark !
I realised I was so weak in putting forth what i wanted to say.
The results were to be announced the 3rd day !!
Day 2 Begins :

We had got a call from the event co-ordinators that we had got into round 2 of debate .
I thought to myself we had to make it !!
 Mallika Kamat , Our magazine secretary and a good friend of mine was my team mate.
I certainly knew She would do well but what about me ???
I had no clue of myself.I wasn't nervous , 4 teams got qualified
GEC COMP
Goa Univ. MBA
ST.Xavier's
Damodar College
I thot of the middle teams to be good opponents , especially GU-MBA.They seemed to be pretty strong ,but as the debate  progressed they seemed to have  wrong facts to their credit ,had loads of attitude and certainly  a big head !!!

The Debate went off well.We went ahead to talk about entrepreneurship as a key factor for the growth of  IT in India.Did pretty well !!!
I was happy coz all my team mates seemed to be giving me a grin . I felt proud .I had managed to impress the judges and talked the about key points .
Debate ended !!! and the judges personally walked to me and Mallika and said "Congrats !! You guys  did a good job ". I was flattered thinking if we were winning or would be second !!
results were to be out on the closing ceremony and yeah we won !!!
That was such a good feeling winning something for your TEAM , our TEAM , TEAM CURSOR !!!
