My life and my Destiny 2

 Passed my B.Sc (Physics, Maths and Geology ) in 1958; Initially , I was not interested in further education especially to go for Geology or Mathematics , but later some how I tried my admission to Lucknow University for LLB; I stayed with Prof Gyan swarup Sharma, then Dean of the Law Faculty; He was from Jhalu , cousin of Shri Om Prakash Sharma - a very close family friend. Could not get admission because of late; though not interested in Geology but on the advice and recommendation of Prof Raj Nath, I tried my admission with Aligarh University ( with a letter of Dr Raj Nath in the name of Prof Sapru, the Head of the Dept); could not get admission; So, it was too  late to seek admission to any programme in any University this year. DESTINY decided that I must try something else during this year.

I tried some teaching jobs here and there however landed in SJ High School Gajraula for a short period. Detailed account of my job , life and experience is given in another blog;  https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7434278182063497637/1652779700775160573

I got very rich experience of  managing to live and survive with bare minimum facilities; knowings that the private schools are run as commercial ventures; also teaching various subjects including English to High School students.

I never liked Chemistry as it cheated me at Meerut College and I have to waste my one year that. But DESTINY forced me to work as a Chemist in my second job in Katni. Detailed description about is already given in another blog ; https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7434278182063497637/2473737783465933451

That job provided me real good , rich and practical experience working in a private enterprise .

The story of Destiny goes on explaining as how it controlled all my decisions and actions in life. I had no control for any aspect of my life , education, career, marriage , family life ( including children or my parents etc) . I did what it dictated me and I followed the course like a river , meandering on its way, finding its way to destination.

year after my B.Sc; 1958-59

Though academically the year after my graduation in July 1958 was lost but I got very rich experience of my life during this year. I was aware that I was not good at Maths and Physics , so I did not try my admission for post graduate studies in these subjects. I was reluctant even to go for Geology. However at the last moment, I tried my admission for Geology and even for LLB . Prof Raj Nath could not admit me in BHU and Prof Ganju in Aligarh ; Prof Gyan Swarup,( from my Home town Jhalu, a cousin of our family friend, Shri Om Prakash Sharma)  being the Dean of the Law School at Lucknow University could not help my admission . So I accepted all this as programmed by my destiny and watch as what is going to be the next.
To keep myself engaged, I tried to get some thing to do : Tried to seek some work as a volunteer at my Alma Matter , Hindu Inter College , Chandpur, no luck; tried here and there but no luck any where. Finally in December, I got an opportunity to work with S J Inter Collge, Gajraula. Read in detail about this experience at; . htmlhttp://shubhkamnadavendra.blogspot.ca/2010/07/my-first-job.html
Fortunately , I got a job of Chemist with Dyers Stone Lime Company at Katni. This provided me very rich experience of life to deal with varied situations. A detailed description about it is given here:  http://shubhkamna-davendra.blogspot.ca/2010/07/my-job-as-chemist.html.

If I look back at this, it reveals to me to be an act of destiny; not getting admission to any academic programme; not getting a proper job even as a volunteer; getting a job as a Chemist - a profession I never planned or thought of, rather I never liked the subject of Chemistry. Why should I apply for such a job for which I never thought or planned? But I was quite successful in this job to the extent that my employer was ready to hire me on my terms. This also added to my experience to seek my admission in Geophysics- a subject with only a few seats at post graduate level and with wide open opportunities for jobs and career; . Admission with a scholarship of Rs.150/- PM  - almost equivalent the salary of an Asstt. Professor. A reward in disguise.
At the end I do not feel that I wasted my year; It was all planned and designed by my destiny to be like that and I was only  guided to act   in certain manner.

My First Job as a Teacher

After passing my B.Sc.(Physics, Maths and Geology ) from BHU, I could not get admission to my desired subject ( Geology, Geophysics and Law ) in 1958, I was looking for a job. I went to Ajmer for a job with DAV Inter College ( my visit to Ajmer , Khuwaja,s Durgha and Puskar ji ). In December 1958, I got a volunteer job with S.J. Inter College, Gajraula (Moradabad).I was given a room of 8x8x10 without any ventilation, windows, plastered walls or finished floor ( floor was only sandy) within the school,s campus and I was the only person living there. I used to go out to the farms for toilet, bath at the well outside the school campus, my breakfast, lunch and dinner etc. at a dhaba near railway station. My life was simple and regulated with no complaints what so ever. I was teaching Science, Maths and casually English to High school students. I enjoyed my teaching and students were very happy and satisfied. I became very popular among the students and colleagues.Management of the school was mainly Vaid ji and his son from  Gajraula village who established the school.Vaid ji,s son was headless person and he once came to the school and humiliated me before the students. I decided to leave the place and started looking for another job. I got a paid job as a chemist and left the place. Read about my next job; chemist.html.http://shubhkamna-davendra.blogspot.ca/2010/07/my-job-as-chemist.html My students and colleagues were really sad on my departure. In such a short period of a month, I got so much love and affection from them.
Every place gives some experience. I got very rich experience of living in such a substandard place with very poor lodging and boarding conditions though enjoyed my teaching. Got first hand experience as how these private schools run like a commercial venture with thumb rule kind of management and fraudulent practices..
It was a very good assignment , without any perks but with rich experience.
