Weekend trip and AIESEC

From the couple of days, I have not written anything on my general blog. I do not know why. May be I visited the seminar for the AIESEC. I was spending my weekend in the seminar in Asinsari, a place near Lappeenranata.

It was pleasant atmosphere with bunch of new and exciting people. This time around, we played games, there was some cool session which was very informative to many new memebers I think.

I remember last year, I was appointed as the new member and I was enjoying to be the part of the AIESEC Saimaa, but this year I was at the other's end. I was taking the interviews which is really a great moment for myself too.

Sometimes, Peoples are not satisfied with even a minor things, why not ? I was more than happy to become the part of AIESEC, and when suddenly one day you are actively participating in all the events. Your Local committe president ask you to step up and take the responsibility then it is surely a great moment.

Especially when there is no one who can take care of the position which was offered to me. At first, I also filled the application form but later I realize that, for handling with the companies and to become the member of executive board in Saimaa is difficult thing.

Later, when some thing is going to happen then no body stops it and it happens automatically.

The same holds true for me and I had to take the responsibility to take care of incoming exchange.

The rotation will continue and I hope, whoever taking the leadership position faces great challenge. It is one of the cool position plus one of the position you do not want to get involved into.

Funny part is AIESEC Saimaa, is really one of the best local committe for doing especailly Incoming Exchange in whole Finland. I am quite sure this time around. But I hope we will be able to keep the reputations.

AIESEC-Functional Weekend

I am here in Jyväskylä, city which has more than eighty thosand poplulation., More than Lappeenranata.

The place is very nice and atmosphere is cool. We are having the Functional Weekend. It is really boring for me. I do not like plannings and here We have to set goal for the whole entire year.

It is cool for us that, and Thanks to the Matti for selecting the goal for the entire year for TN as 3.

I think our LC, already has 4 realized trainees this year and we do not have to worry much about realizing our goals at our LC. However, it is always good to raise more trainees.

Let us see what we can make and how we are doing at our LC's.

Nature Suckers and Scalds

It is quite amazing to feel the experience of finally sitting in the ferry just near the window and see the water being flowing around it. While I am writing this article, I am sitting in good room near the window and watching from the window the water in the sea going far from me and the feelings of ferry going forward.
As every event has an end, this event Scalds 2008 has finally come to an end. It is really difficult to see the people who we met some 5-6 days ago as complete strangers and right now, they seems as if we had a very good relationship with all of these delegates in the conference.
I am rally impressed by the way SCALD 2008 conference was held. It was yesterday official dinner party which was something unique to see because I have never ever been to such official dinner party in the Scandvia. It was funny for me in the sense, I did not brought my official suit but I asked my room mate for a help and he stood up and so easily managed to find me the suit. I learned the lesion from that, especially when there is official parties please do wear the nice suit or do not forget to take one.
The relationship between the ferry and me is nothing, it is just like a transportation or the way to travel but thinking now, I guess it is not just only the transportation but simply your care taker or mother for example. It takes care of you from the moment you are in the ferry and take you to your final destination at the end. It shows you what to do and what to enjoy, it gives you an impression that look, I have long way to go, look I am finding the way through this deep ocean, Every bit of the moment that I am making in this huge ocean is one step of the victory which for me and to you as well.
I will take you to your destination and every moment I am fighting for it. Similarly, in our lives too we have to fight every bit not with the ocean but with our own inner strength to make the vision of reaching to the destination into reality.
Yesterday, we have our home group Roll calls, the roll calls are basically a kind of shout which a specific home group make. We had a totally different roll call besides anybody else. It was amazing… The name of the group was one of my creations in the home group. I thought it in the bus while we were travelling to the Fiskeboda, Sweden.
I really felt it good in a sense, every body agreed on what I thought about the Name and they appreciated the name too. It was something funny but I tried to give some meaning to why? This particular name and not other. The name was- “Nature Suckers”.
How do I come up with this name? There are many other questions beside that too, Nature is the fundamental thing we are quite aware of, we learn right from our childhood about the Nature and its relevance. It has loads of stuff to give to us instead it takes all our bad stuffs very easily. Nature and women can be correlated. Nature and men can also be correlated.
Since we were saying the numbers from 1 to 10 in 10 different languages, I thought well let us break down the number separately suppose “1” and “0”. The whole world is combination of “1” and “0”. In computers there are only zeros and ones. In electricity there is only on and off and in real world we can think of women as 0 and men as 1. So some how we all are part of Nature in some ways and we are sucking it in different manners.
Today we can see the biggest problems we are facing such as global warming, flood, volcano eruption, and many more it is because we are sucking Natures and we are not aware of it. We cannot stop sucking it but some how we can bring awareness into it and try to avoid it as far as possible.
The time was there, to tell why the name was chosen as the “Nature Suckers” to all the delegates present in the conference. There were around 100 of them. I was feeling a little nervous but slowly I managed to tell the stories thanks to my home group again.
It was nice experience to be the part of conference and to gain loads of thing from it. Besides that “Finland” won the award of the “Best delegates in Scalds 2008 conference” for the active participation and presence in all the sessions, events and meetings. I was proud to be the part of Finland and representing it.

Scalds 2008 Conference continues...

Scalds conference is still going on with loads of excitment and lots of fun stuffs. We all are really enjoying all the session and all the activity that has been given to us. Today is the second last day of the conference and I am really worried to loose many of the good friends that I make during the conferences.

From sweet Icelandic girl to the energetic Noregian guy, from beautiful and sexy chair of Romania to the country I am representing Finland Member commitee president. It is so interesting that we group together from different countries and we have loads of thing in common.

Despite the fact that we belong to different nationalities and we come from different regions we have many things in common. We humans only do the things differently depending upon our circumstance and our mind. I learnt a lot right from the start of the conference.

One good statement that popped up in my mind while I was travelling from the Stockholm to the Fiskeboda was that, " Humans should try to find the similarities in other humans despite they come from other religion, country or culture or any other related background."

Once we find the similarities we will be eliminate the differences in our lives and the difference not only in terms of political, economical and other related barrier but in terms of the many smaller or minor things which will make us solve the bigger problems in our lives.

Yesterday was friday, we grouped together starting from the morning plenary to the good and exciting country time. It was good to know the people with different ideas especially in AIESEC and we were creating all these ideas, what would be good or what would be bad for AIESEC in Finland. What kind of external affairs or external relevenace we can use in terms of the AIESEC in Finland.

Which options fits good and we were later filtering these ideas into more concrete ideas to initiate the project or some work for making lives of people around the AIESEC better.

It is important to learn from not only the text books but by the real obeservations. The learning can always vary from the people to the people but I personally belive it is easier for me to obeserve the people around me and try to learn their behavior. It is relatively easy.

Today is the second last day of the conference and I am already feeling as if I will miss or I want this conference for more days. There are people who can dance beautifully, there are AIESECers who can sing with courage and wisedom, there are these bunch of guys who are ready to take out there clothes in the middle of the some 100 people and ready to take the challenge.

It is really getting hot with every step that I am taking in this conference and with every step I personally think there are bigger responsiblities coming up. From great power comes bigger or great responsibilities. It is good to gain the power of "leadership" but at the same time, there are more responsiblities piling up every seconds.

Although I cannot change the entire world but I would certainly or can really take the one step which can make to find the similarities in the differentiated world to come closer and solve the bigger problems in easier ways.

I appreciate every bit of these conference and I am really thank full to those who invited me and those who I mingled or talked or those who inspired me in some way. I am thank full to be here.

Looking forward to it for more out of the ore inside AIESEC...
