An Hour in Amphitheatre everyday

Wind is blowing slowly across the amphitheatre. It’s an hour past midnight right now. Week had been hectic as usual. There were lots of pre-reads, backlogs and preparation for surprise quizzes and not to forget mid-term for Marketing Management on coming Monday. This is the place where I usually come and sit for sometime alone at this hour and reflect on the time that has passed. I see some people sitting in Bistro chit chatting and few people roaming around the campus. There are few of my friends sitting on the stairs of amphitheatre discussing Marketing Plan.

In between all these, if there is something missing from my life, its old friends and their unconditional love over the years. We don’t realize their importance till the time we loose them. And as Rangarajan says, “Not everyone gets everything. Make it count”. Life is very short and very cruel. Love your friends and value them before they feel ignored. We are so busy in Networking that we forget to connect with people.

We have a course on Karma Yoga here. Karma Yoga is kind of a fresh breeze amidst Economics, Stats and Marketing course; although my entire class will differ here. Only if I would have understood the essence of Karma earlier, I wouldn’t have been disappointed in my life. Karma says, we should just do our duty without being attached. It further states that, we should not expect any personal return from any of the duty we perform towards our folks. We should just keep doing our duty under any circumstances. This saves us from future disappointment. I have started following the principle of Karma. I guess at times we need to touch our spiritual side which somehow seems to have been lost.
