That's "his" way

Well, four years in a government institution or it would rather be more appropriate to call it "sarkari college", irrespective of what you learn, realise and see; there's one thing that you see, you feel, every moment - people don't want to work, and they don't. Yes, people don't even want to do the work they're supposed to do, they're responsible for and they are all carefree roaming about and criticizing those who work. But as I always say, I have been seeing Sir working always for the four years - his work or someone else's, he does it with a never dying enthusiasm and love. We have always been taught that all work is equal - nothing is condescending and we all "educated" people or elites you may call, claim that we believe in equality of work. But nobody actually follows it, I always thought. However, when today when I told Sir that the wet cloth wasn't working on the whiteboard - as the lady who was cleaning it said - and I was thinking of various alternatives, he rushed inside, took the cloth from the lady in his idiosyncratic high-on-energy instantaneous manner, and said " Dhoondne se toh bhagwaan bhi milta hai" and almost scratched the board. In a few seconds, almost half of it was shining. Everyone laughed and smiled, so did I. But there was something that amazed me, something that left an impression. And I realised it was a yet one more incident when I saw his simplicity, his truthfulness and his devotion at its best.
You are the best Professor Sir and the best human being I have ever or will ever come across. We're blessed that we can happily call ourselves your students.

Hold On...

Well, in 3 years, we have learnt from our Prof. that come what may, there's just faith that keeps everything going:

When things go wrong,
When pain stays long,
When nothing seems right,
When there is no light,

Hold on, and have belief,
That God will bring relief,
Solutions could seem less,
And life could seem a mess,

Hold on, and locks will break,
And futures bright will wake,
Situations could seem tight,
Rainbows could seem white,

Hold on, and colors will shower,
Hold on, and Springs will flower,
Life's roads are long and rough
And Perseverance is an art so tough,

Yet he says, Hold On,
Then God will smile and pay you back,
Fill the hollows, that life might lack,
Yet he says, Hold On,
For life is life
because it's life,
It's a mixture of love and strife,
Yet he says, Hold On,
For The Almighty loves us all in loads,
and Faith can cross all bad roads.

THE BEST THEORIES OF LIFE !!!

Finally, someone has done it! My class-mate finally asked my Professor- “Where do you get this lot of energy from? It seems like there’s no end”. And he says- “It’s from inside. When you are passionate about anything, the things around don’t matter. It’s where the source becomes Infinity and that’s what drives you”.

Sir says, “If you think you have achieved your goal, you are an Idiot” and I agree to this one without doubt. He says:”The goal can never be achieved because if you achieve it, you become stagnant and it just stops everything- passion, energy and the ability to work”. He says, “Goal can never be achieved because it is dynamic but Satisfaction has to be achieved.” May be it always has to be this way: you set the goal, launch an arrow, achieve it, and then... You make a new goal, and a new journey begins with the same zest, but with the happiness of climbing the stairs that lead to the goal. Well, this is what’s called the perfect match of optimism, energy and contentment.

For this I know some people might say, “Satisfaction means it’s the end of Innovation”. To that, my Professor has to say, “Innovation and satisfaction are two different systems . Don’t try to merge them. ” And since he likes DSP, he says, “The aim in life is to maintain the properties of the system. Just remember when you enter the system, be sure that its properties remain the same, when you leave the system. That would make sure the equilibrium maintains itself.”

On Success and failure, he says: “Success and failure are situational. And for the true success, all we need is Trust in God and Faith in Ourselves and combination would always work out.” My Professor has always taught me to do it the right way, and the right results would come by themselves.

To all those who ever wanted to meet someone with overflowing zest, unmatched stability , perfect knowledge and extraordinary teaching skills, here’s from me, an invitation to the IGIT campus, the person you always find smiling even when he’s not well, it’s Him. My Prof. and a person I am proud to call My Mentor.

THE COLOURS...

The Colours of Joy, the Colours of Belief,

The Colours of faith, the Colours of Relief,

The Colours of goodness, the Colours of success,

The Colours of courage, the Colours of finesse,

The Colours of hopes, the Colours of quest

The Colours of happiness, the Colours of zest

And in all those Colours,

For making us see, how deep they were,

In all those rainbows,

For making us feel, how important they were,

In the myriads of spectrum different and diverse,

Whether the times were better or worse,

For making us smile and rise again,

For making us cross life’s toughest lane,

For making us know the value of this life holy,

From your students, Professor—HAPPY HOLI!!

LIFE'S ALL ABOUT....

Not to loose ourselves in the myriads of success and failures, but to find that right blissful contended path for ourselves; not to die down in the waves of bad times, but to endure; not to give up ever, but to smile and face whatever comes up next; and in all times, good or bad, to be the HUMAN that God wanted us to be, this is my Professor’s philosophy of life! And I guess, this is what is required for a good happy life.

My professor says, life is all about the right karmas, they are going to come to you over the circumference of life sometime, and to keep them right, just remember three things- “DO so that the system does not collapse because of your Karmas, DO so that the nature doesn’t get hurt ever, and DO such that you do not take anyone else’s piece of pie that’s not correctly yours”. He says, life is not about money, may be it’s more about us, about the kind of people we are for ourselves, about not hurting anyone in life, about being happy and more importantly making others around us happy because my Prof.  says life is just a probability function, and we just have to obtain the right PDF. He says , do your work and let the outcomes be! And that’s a wonderful solution to life’s biggest worries.

Well, Professor, every-time we have spoken to you, we have learned something, the SOMETHING that’s going to be with us forever. Thanks for giving us the keys to life’s most sternly locked gates!

NOTHING IS ,EVER, FOR SURE....

The world is wide, and its people are variable, some gracious and some good! But there are some things that God made a small mixture of, amalgamated the constituents, and put a little in every person! Apprehension being one- the fear of failure. Everyone , at some time , at some circumstance, at some thought, faces that incorrigible fear.

But there are some people , in whom God forgot to add those mixtures of fear! Optimism that would make you shine with his aura, and such a great attitude to live –that I think Apprehension would fall down straight at his feet- That’s Akash Sir. And I think, it would take me a lifetime to learn all valuable lessons that he has to teach, and still I would have more to learn.

For all the time that we go to him, with all our negativity as normal persons, with all our fears, I don’t know how just magically he says a small one line phrase, and leaves us thinking how wrong we were! Only some people have the capability to make you learn by yourself, and I am thankful I am the fortunate disciple of one such person. Whenever we tell him , sir we are not sure , he just says-“You can’t ever be sure of anything, ever, in life”, so may be the better way is to think the RIGHT way!!

I know people joining Harvard School of Divinity for stability in their lives. But all it actually takes is, The One Right Teacher who does not only tell you which way to choose, but more importantly , the art to travel, with happiness and faith that the destination is near. For inculcating that faith, Thank you Professor!!

THE FAITH IN THE FAITH THAT YOU CAN DO IT !

“FAITH and HARD-WORK will make you do everything, will make you achieve everything”, this is what my Prof says. He says, for all that happens in life, it is important to have the faith that you can do it. It is true that faith makes you believe that yes, it can happen and hard-work  ensures, it will indeed happen. That’s how the bridge from CAN to WILL gets built. He says, if one has the belief that one can do something, then there’s no space for doubts, apprehensions, or fears , because all the lacunae get filled with the spirit of zest and optimism.

 If I were asked to compare our Professor, I would probably say, may be he’s like the feedback loop in our lives, he keeps telling us what’s wrong and we keep changing the input. For us , as students, his teachings have always ensured that our stability keeps going well...

HAPPY NEW YEAR , SIR!!

From the ramps and steps in Signals and Systems,

To the FFTs of Digital signal Processing,

From the random variables of probability theory,

To the Nash Equilibria of Game theory,

From the Pareto’s principle

To the Hamming Windows....

We have learnt a lot from him in the years that went by, but this New Year, may be it would be great if we tell our readers, what our Professor has taught us beyond that....

Professor, wishing you a very Happy New Year,2011, this one’s for you...

In the year that went by............

We have learnt how not to lie ever,

Because we saw you stating truths always,

We have learnt not to deceive ever,

Because we saw you loyal always,

We have learnt how not to get defeated ever,

Because we saw you optimistic always,

We have learnt how not to be sad ever,

Because we have seen you smiling always,

We have evolved from students to your disciples forever,

Because we have decided to keep praying YOU always.....

For all years to come, and all paths to walk,

For all days to light, and all thoughts to talk,

We wish for your blessings to be with us long,

And your guidance whenever we take any ways wrong....

Years will come and Years will go..

Some will be high and some low,

But one thing’s for sure, that for all those years, each day... We will pray...

May every day, widen your smiles,
Brighten your eyes, strengthen your dreams,
Elate your heart, enlighten your soul...
 Thank you for being the reason we'll have a very happy and enlightened new year...!

                                                                          

MAGIC IS TRUE...I HAVE PROOF

When I was a toddler, I always used to believe in magic. That someday, a person will come with a wand and spell something, and then perhaps I will be happy forever. Then as I grew up, my memories and beliefs faded away and I started learning science, specifically Engineering and I just forgot those magic stories. But today, I guess, I am reliving it, because today I have proof, a proof that my Professor can do anything, he can change destinies, he can enlighten everything.
This is about a friend who is a true follower of sir, and I am putting this story on this blog to let our readers know, what wonderful people Professors are!! A little of inspiration, a lot of support and to go with that almost  infinite blessings, and my friend today is the topper of the one of the most prestigious colleges of Delhi. That's how it is- and may be it's about the purity of those countless 'God Bless You's ' that today , all I want to say is- Sir, I don't believe, now I am sure, with enough evidence that you are one person who can do anything, and may be that person God sent to us as the magician of our childhood stories. Without doubt, My Professor is the best Professor!! If we gather all ways in the universe to express our gratitude, still we can't thank you for what you have been...

LET GOD TOSS THE COIN...

Sincerity, Devotion, Loyality, and Truthfulness, four words that this blog can get a prize for , for being used the maximum number of times. And I am one of those fortunate people, who have heard these words from a person who is a perfect pure combination of all these words.He says- 'Do your work sincerely and then let the God toss the coin' and if you are truthful, every problem of your life will vanish, every adversity will change to fortune, every wrong will become the right.
We , his students, ask him a lot many of times, sir when everything around from ideals to efforts is dipped in the contaminated waters, what else should we do except getting frustrated. And he tells us just one thing- 'God always tosses the coin, but if you want to secure your play, make sure you follow truth without conditions, without questions, and that's when you make God helpless, that's when the coins don't get tossed, that's when the outcome of the play is just one- YOU WIN'.
All I can say is, everyone in the world tries to be truthful, teaches to be truthful, but there are just a few who practice it, fewer who make others practice it, but just one, you,  who can make it embedded in our minds so hard, that before lying to anyone in the word, we will remember - "Akash sir said- never lie, truth makes us win.". And then, we will turn around , to face the world, with courage, energy , enthusiasm, and truth that you inculcated in us, and that day , like today, like always- "WE WILL BE PROUD TO BE YOUR STUDENTS"

I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW??

Yes, I have wished almost a thousand people birthdays till now.But today, when I wish to wish my Mentor, I have really fallen short of everything, words, wishes, adjectives, ways, because I really don't know how to wish a person who is himself one of the best person of God... To say...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIR!!!!

We know God likes you much more,
And HIS wishes today, for you will be much heavier than ours,
Still, our wishes, for your happiness and bliss...
forever... 

God might already have thought the best ways for the person HE himself is proud of, You, but still our request to HIM to give you even more... of everything you wish for, Sir!!

This is a little site that your followers made for you...

HAPPY DIWALI PROFESSOR...for the value of lights that you taught us

Lights all around are splendid and magnificent and they mean brightness, spirit, strength and happiness. So, I thought , how can I not visit this blog, for this blog belongs to a person who has not just taught us, but has lighted our lives with his sayings, all precious. And why this Diwali gives me a reason to write on this blog is because my Mentor is the person who made me understand the meaning of that word-LIGHT.
 For us as his students, the light he made us see the light of truth, the light of never dying hope, the light of smiles, the light that will not let us face any wrong, be it the darkest darkness of the world , because this light is from our soul. Wishing our Professor, Happy Diwali, because it is the festival of lights.

DSP... LIVED ONCE AGAIN

Yes I accept! Well some people in the world might call me typically Engineering Oriented, but I have other reasons to be completely obsessed with Digital Signal Processing. The first one is , it’s my Mentor’s subject, and the second one is- I am amazed the way my Prof. can actually map everything in the world into this domain. In fact, on this blog, I can internationally claim that if anyone thinks DSP is not their passion, do come to my college and attend Semester 6, 45 marvelous lectures and 12 exciting labs is not what I am talking about, I am talking about the DSP of your life that he’ll teach you.

Here’s what he says about life- “God has given us a Bandwidth-that’s life, and it’s a mixture of good and bad. So our job is to figure out and to filter out the good for us...as simple as that”. And if I perfectly mention it in DSP, I would say that he is one person who can remove the Gibb’s phenomenon out of your life forever, because he has the power to smoothen the discontinuities in his students’ lives, that too with ideal filter sharpness, yet no ripples.

He says- “There’s just one way to success, and that’s to have no negative thoughts ever. The only way that you should see, the only vision that you should hold, the only thing that your soul must echo is- I can do it, and there’s nothing that can’t be done”. Because life is a continuous function, and thus it has infinite solutions. He says; just leave the outcomes on themselves, because true efforts never fail. They are like those little sparks, who may take time, but when they fire, they can light miles.

Many a times, when his students come to him and tell him about a hundred reasons for not doing work, sometimes apparent and sometimes superficially plausible, he just smiles and says- “Cribbing will never help. Don’t hinge upon excuses. Make things work, and they will work!!” He says, when you really want something and you work on it by heart, mind and soul, even the inanimate lifeless things would wish for you, will make you win and make all your hurdles transparent; they will conspire to give you all that you truly desired.

We often tell him- “Sir, it’s not that easy. There are so many tasks, so many problems, the world is so difficult and Engineering, even more”. To that, sir says: “Two things are needed to win anything in life, howsoever mighty, or big, and they are Consistency and Thought”. He tells us to do our best, and leave the validation for the viability of our work to God.

Well, sir, I really have fallen out short on trying to figure out what’s the best way to thank you , for all talks that would keep me and all your followers smiling forever. But then I think, some people can never be thanked, because they are Infinite... And for us as average people, we are taught infinity doesn’t exist and we can never reach it . And as you say- God’s always unreachable....

THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS IS - TRUTH!!

When we start seeing around, we can often find the magnanimous amount of corruption, enlarged conspiracies and the never ending melodrama of the circles of infinite diplomacies, all hidden behind a veil that we can never put off. That’s how the world is, sweet but bitter!! And this kills, kills the innocence of truth, the hope of good, and the passion for life sometimes! Yes, at-least I can say that as a confident Engineering Student, still looking for a good place in the corrupt domains.

And there I am, back to my campus, back to the room of that single person whom I correctly call the panacea for all despair that his students have. A person who just simply says- “Why bother about the world, when it’s all about YOUR good deeds”, “why look at the world, and not yourself”. Yes, I can track it all back, when sir said- May be more than half of the things in this world are screwed up, but why do we not see the rest of them- that are ours. That’s the vision that my Mentor gave me and I think, in fact, I am sure, this is the only mantra for all success, satisfaction, happiness and peace.

Sir says there’s only one thing that works- and its TRUTH, the only achievement, the only way to a happy future, the only measure of the true success, the only thing in front of which every power fails, every corruption bows down and even the biggest ‘Wrong’ of the world would sit on suppliant knees to beg in repentance. That’s the power of Truth, simple and true...That’s all!!

There are certain sayings by special persons that are important. You just like to hear them. But for sir, neither of the above is applicable. Because these are not just sayings, these are some precious words, by a person whom I am not sure, if I should call a person, rather some heavenly messenger that I want to preserve whatever he says, forever. Perhaps that’s how teachers are, flawless and positive always... And their sayings, so truthful, that I know when I am going to be in trouble even after 20 years, I am going to come back to this blog... And I am going to return happy.... Thank you sir... for being there always....

NOT THE SPRINKLES, BUT THE SPRING...

Springs are places where origins, optimisms, beginnings and hopes give themselves the shape for their existence. It is the place wherefrom the decisions find strength to walk down the right lanes to reach destinations. And that’s why I say, my mentor is the spring of all optimism that exists.

As he always does say, this time too, it’s about a great philosophy, that I particularly liked and assimilated too. He says- “Life is a game, where God is playing both sides, and we are the outcomes”. Truthfully enough, a game on which we have no hold, we aren’t players, we aren’t anything, just what God decides us to be. So the best way to live is be happy and face what comes ahead, with all energy and spirit, no apprehensions, no expectations.

Sir says, sometimes in life, it’s important to leave the threads loose, and give life a chance to be what it wants to be. The trick is to let things happen the way they want to! You loosen the threads, not cut them. Hoping for good is always wanted, but hoping too much is not! And for all people who believe that future might not be good, sir has to say- Anticipating the future before you live it makes life lesser. The zest of life is in living it full, loosing it less.

For the sadness in us many a times because of small failures, which you converted in innumerable smiles forever, because your teachings give us the meanings of life, all we can say is- “We wish God had created more ways to thank a person like you”. But all we can desire with a true wish is your happiness and we are sure it will be yours, because even God would be proud of creating a person like you....
