In current scenario of education, especially in the campuses of engineering and management colleges, one will hardly find students getting engrossed in some thing other than academics. Students strive hard to complete their assignments, projects and syllabi to meet the needs of the structure of academics and in the process; they tend to ignore their qualities and talents. There are hardly few engineering and management aspirants, you will observe, who are showing their talents regarding some thing not at all related with their studies.
And I feel that this will certainly make these students sideline their talents. Every particular individual, I believe, possesses some kind of quality and talent in him/her. Only thing is that such talents should come out and should be seen and heard. Mere possessing talent will definitely not help.
Some students love to read while some love to write. There are many who are interested in singing while many others who have their expertise on playing some kind of instrument like guitar, violin, etc. Many students are seriously interested in sports. Dancing too is the specialty of many individuals.
But the thing is that such talents are shown only during college festivals. There are many such engineering students, who in spite of having such variety of talents, hide them only because they are engineers of the future and securing a good job is their utmost criteria. And more specifically, the general tendency is the fear of their parents that whether they will allow doing something off beat to their current field of interest.
I am now in my second year of engineering. And my hobby is writing. I make it a point to cultivate and nurture my hobby every single day so that I start getting better and better in it. I think that this is my talent and I want to show it to all. And I continue with it while balancing my engineering curriculum.
Likewise, I feel that one should never hide their talents and qualities. No matter what is your area of study currently, you certainly have some special talent in yourself. Just make it grow. Let it be better and better each day. Then let that talent be any weirdest thing of your life! Qualities are qualities and if you are perfect in it, no body can stop you from excelling in the same. I am not at all saying that engineering and management students don’t cultivate their talents. They certainly do, but this number of students is not very big. I certainly have some friends of mine who love to play guitar while some who love to dance. But most of them are interested in getting done with their studies and not to get distracted, no matter how possessive s/he is for his hobby!
So, friends, buck up and show your talents. It’s your time now. Following are some lines which I penned…
Time is now
Blossom like a flower
Unveil like a star
Let the people laugh, criticize or make fun of it
You be confident of making best out of it
Show the world who you are
Blossom like a flower
Unveil like a star
Your smile, your brain
Your dance, your pain
Your anger, your happiness
Your tantrums, your shyness
Show everything with pride
Because its fruitless to hide
Think as if yours is the hour
Blossom like a flower
Unveil like a star
Failures will come initially
Hurdles will block your path gradually
So what? Be brave enough to accept the failures
May be 99 turns go down
But 100th one will be yours
So fight till the end bravely
To achieve your goals entirely
Reveal to the world who you are
Blossom like a flower
Unveil like a star
Qualities are best to be shown
Shortcomings are better to be thrown
Being hesitant will help you in no ways
Perfection must be achieved in all ways
Past has flown away and future is yet to come
So now is the time and yes, now is the time
Live the moment for time may slip
And every moment is special to be lived
Only then will you be exultant of living your life
With joy, happiness and complete fulfillment
So c’mon, disclose your qualities hidden in your self
Just like a flower which elegantly unfolds itself
Just like the power of brightness with which shines a star
Blossom like a flower
Unveil like a star

The poem is not only beautiful but also encouraging one!
Keep up the good work my friend!
i think appreciation of good work is very important.
some people are self-motivated some are not.some times good talent get's supressed due to lack of motivation!
it also motivates person to try new ideas
well if one wants to retain their hobbies they should have proper time management! & such hobbies keep our mind refresh & relaxed!ee
Thanks a lot, Ankita.
And I agree, time management is very important. Motivation, no doubt is essential. But one can't expect it to get every now and then. Somewhere down the line you, yourself have to find the source for your motivation. In my case, it's simply my own self which motivates me, nothing else! Time can be easily managed if we really want to carry on with our otherwise talents and hobbies. And the work done with full heart is always appreciated.
Welcome Kalpak!
It is true we cannot expect appreciation everytime!But atleast i always appreciate good work :)
