I had to get rid of all this before I could be accepted in the organization. Fat the wuck?? But it was matter of job, so I submitted myself. Next 3 hours went in going through company’s documents and later introduction with entire staff. The day ended at around 6pm.Sadistically satisfied with my first day, I was on my way back to room. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I did not realize how these 2 months passed by. I was a better organizer, better presenter, highly tanned considering the field work thought the day and have better nick of business by end of this tenure. I think the first day correction got me back on tracks. I realized that the corporate world is taxing and very little margin of error.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I have had my own share of fun. I have had Hippies sleeping on the bench around me. Sometimes we used to step out in rain and dance with and little chaps carrying tea who appear out of blue. This was the ultimate evidence of all the crazy antics we freak heads did. While the others were busy studying and preparing to run the world, we just created chaos in the real world. My only regret: never got the hot potatoes<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">So anyway what does an aspiring MBA do while he is supposed to do cold calling and visit prospects? Well after the initial work, he heads to a sugar factory, gulps fermented cane juice and makes his friends life as miserable as possible till they both park their bottoms “up” and goes for a deep slumber in plush lawns of some local university.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">As the cold breeze blew across I couldn't but help think about the quirky fans from our class rooms, which we always rely upon in those hot summers. If you had the power to mute the sound, you could have a nice siesta.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I had suddenly started missing my college and friends.

A normal B school grad has a genetically programmed response when he sees case study. U apply 4 P’s, 5 W’s and X Ill-Logics and you are done.

I was woken up from my Facebook siesta by loud music and rampant slogans. Vande Mataram and Jai Hind were memorized. Small groups started moving in the corridor and cheering for India with full Josh.<br /><br />Independence day was here.<br /><br />Suddenly a clutter of online space was jammed with independence day's messages and status updates. Patriotic Videos and speeches were exchanged. Some news channels flashed scenes across prominent locations in metros about how the youth of India was Celebrating its Independence day. Mandals and Chowks were being decorated for flag hoisting.<br /><br />Suddenly the camera shifted to some youths helping an old aged man cross the road and providing some snacks and water. The whole group got some old cloths and gifted them to him so that he could protect himself from the chilling night. May be it was an unseen India for him. He was so overwhelmed that tears started rolling down from his cheek. The young brigade continued their quest of decorating the street after this incident.<br /><br />I was very moved by this event. The concept of " Seasonal Patriotism" had a new meaning now in my mind. We do not fail to remember our heroes who won us independence and give them due respect every year on the designated day. But when we do it, we get to see some extraordinary events like this.<br /><br />Had you imagined possibility of such kindness showered on a street player on a normal day when the whole world is hardly bothered to find whats happening in their own house, forget about people on street. The world moves as if a day comprises of 12 hours instead of 24. Friends meeting and talking to relatives is a distant dream in today's world.<br /><br />I am a part of this youth and i share this state of India.<br /><br />I was happy to see such seasonal patriotism.<br /><br />Long Live India.<br

It’s supposed to be a holiday. But guess cosmos had seen my face book profile and cursed me for partying hard for last few days in the rains of lavale. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;">Bang!! I get a mail Saturday night that I have an elective class scheduled @10 am. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" face="arial" style="text-align: justify;">FTW?? <span style=""> </span>Sunday effeed up? </p> <p class="MsoNormal" face="arial" style="text-align: justify;">Holy Cow.. yes.. “That was the Sunday that was”. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" face="arial" style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to the news paper guy, I get to see my fav actresses and try to make sense of ongoing business scenario. Finally P&G had showcased their mysterious shampoo which HUL had already taken case of. Wonder how some companies get such dreams. Poor coach of some country was scared to death because his team had not performed well in an international tournament. Hope he doesn get hanged. Scrolling ahead I found that some channel had<span style=""> </span>properly interviewed a high official about to be happening CW games. Had got some tweets about the pattern of interaction happening the day before. Next I turned to the supplement. Was refreshed to see some new faces and better variant of “ what to use “ to play safe. That too in new flavor.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">My friend had got a belt for me as my other belt’s owner was apparently behind me to return. Poor boy. Wonder why people have to fight so much to claim something which is theirs.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">It has been almost a week that god has been kind to read daily news papers and tweet about water scarcity in Pune. He was so disturbed that he said “ Guys, I m going on vacation for a week. Tap will be on. Store as much as u can”. Felt good to see sunrise after many days.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">Ever heard of “Aloo Parotha” without the stuffing in it? Well meet me and I will treat you. I know a place where you get the best of this kind. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">On my way to class I encountered another interesting scene for second time in this week. I wonder what rain brings on to this campus. We get to see weird creatures trying many postures with known creatures, and there are always few dogs watching this heavenly “Tandav”. Last time I had seen a grass hopper running behind a frog and few dogs watching. Someone please hand them an induction manual. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">As this was the first elective class, I was not quite excited. But I regret this. It was a happy ending to the class. Details can be discussed in private.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">Knowing that afternoon will be boring, I decided to catch an action flick in the city. But devil save me, it started raining again. Plan cancelled. I was back in my room again. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">I opened up my laptop and saw a creature similar to me smiling shamelessly at me. I was so irritated; I took off my snap and put some decent well dressed pout lipped hippie. Guess the comp also liked it and reacted immediately with a system restore. Even technology has emotions. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">As always, few take aways</p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;font-family:arial;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style=""><span style="">1.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;font-size:7pt;" > </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Get up early, you never wanna miss a hot cup of tea in this rain.</p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;font-family:arial;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style=""><span style="">2.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;font-size:7pt;" > </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Use mouth freshener, you may end up sitting next to a girl on breakfast table.</p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;font-family:arial;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style=""><span style="">3.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;font-size:7pt;" > </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Carry a camera if possible.

In Nov. 2001, Arabic and Turkish and then in early 2002 Catalan, Croatian, Indonesian, Serbian, Slovak, and Slovenian joined the group for the following 34 language limit options.

Google offers a minimal homepage and several people like the fact. It loads immediately without annoying advertisements. Lycos and AltaVista advertise heavily and load their homepage with flash. It takes a lot of time. People seem to like Google more because of its simple and direct approach. As a result of Google’s outstanding results it has compelled its dedicated users, using WOM (Word of mouth) to inform everyone else about their remarkable search engine. Google’s growth is proof of the power of viral marketing, without the need for massive advertising budgets. Recently, Google launched a new website called “Froogle,” which is a product search. Froogle is a separate site from Google. When Froogle was first introduced, Google did not display an advertisement or a link to Froogle. Rather, they relied on providing a quality free service and backing it with good public relations.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" >The Road ahead???<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" >Google knows better. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" >All they have is the product part which they can constantly improve i.e by continue doing what they are doing so well and that is indexing and rating billions of web pages every day better than other search engine companies in this world.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" >An interesting fact shared by our prof is that the work break up of an employee at Google is as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" >50%- KPI<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" >30%- Things which are parallel to Google eg: G talk, Applications etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" >20%- Free time<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" >So with this 50-30-20 outlook we can definitely see great work atmosphere at Google.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" >The world is going green.

I am </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >not</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> the lead character. The hero is my close friend. This is a real life incident.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">“That was not the best of meeting I had expected. Clad in an under fitting jeans and old T’s I was standing at the college entrance when I first saw her. It was December and the weather was moist. Hesitantly, she stepped in the college premises with her friends. Her shimmering blue eyes had flattened many. I was no god. So even I was struck by the cupid. She looked up and laughed. I was embarrassed. As she walked by my side, after a distance, slowly she lifted her head and looked at me. With her soft hands, moved the streak of hair teasing her cheeks and put them behind her ears. The light blue ear rings perfectly complimented. Our eyes met. A gentle smile emerged on her face. I was lost.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The euphoria of the rendezvous always kept me jumping. The very sight of her used to make me feel special. Many times, just to make out paths intersect, I have diverted from my way. This became a routine till I realize that she realized it and started avoiding me. But how many days can she avoid me? Good old lord listened and in few days I was shamelessly hogging the Roti’s which she had prepared specially for me.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">When we were together, the world hardly mattered. Sometimes we used to laugh over unsaid words and cherish them. Even in group, they intimacy levels had crossed its limit which sometimes used to question the status. I was still single.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Slowly the meetings prolonged from 5 minutes to bunking a class and going for movie. The scenes were perfect. Almost like Bollywood movie. The levels of possessiveness had not yet infringed. All was going on well till…</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">College is full of opportunities for your career. And I was an extrovert. I wanted to be everywhere. Debates, Declamations, Tennis, Dance and more. This brief stardom had started taking toll on our relationship. I had to be away from her for longtime. When she needed me, I was too busy to attend to attend her. The day’s work used to take a toll and late night fights over the phone were common. Small things like “ Why were you holding her waist while dancing” to “ How come she is staring at you so much during dramatics” to “ why do you have to talk to her during declamation”… I couldn’t answer all of them.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">On the flipside, when I used to know she had been to a movie with her friends and not informed me, I let hell loose on her. Small things began to bother both of us. Conversation turned to be formal and sometimes forceful. There was a time when matters like “why this person likes that person.. Do you like me the same way as that person..” to laughing about the way we “ held each other’s hand” . But now all that was gone.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">“ Fat the Wuck?” I shouted on her. It was raining cats and dogs in the campus. Standing along the deserted corridor, I was broken. At last she had found me too unbearable. “What’s happened to you? Why have you changed so much? Where is the old Aditya I know?.. Tears rolling from her rosy cheeks, she held my collar and cried. I just walked away from her. I heard her last few words “You will not find me when you need me.. Good Bye”.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I returned home and switched on my laptop. It was acting funny, must have been some virus from the college Lab. I shut it down and tried to switch on the TV. No power. My head was aching, so I went to have a shower. No water. “Life is SHIT” I shouted.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I decided to take a walk. Taking the rickety roadside I went in the park. Happy couples were happily exchanging greetings. The entire 4 years rolled by and I felt choked. I realized its hardly few days and after that everyone will be gone. I started weeping hard. But guess god was kind enough to hind my tears. It started raining. Down, broke, I sat on an old bench. I tried reaching her number but as expected it was off.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I completed my graduation and went to states to work. It’s almost a year now. Yesterday I got a call from my friend. It was her marriage and they were surprised that I didn’t know. Obviously, I couldn’t explain to them. I returned yesterday to Mumbai. I still miss her. But I wish she is happy now.”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" >This is what happens when you are few pints down with lemon and J D. We met after a long time. My eyes filled with tears when I heard it. </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" >Aditya is an established Investment Banker with a famous MNC now. Motivated by another friend who updated his status msg about his friend, I asked him to allow me to put it up my blog. He obliged. Life moves on..

style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">It seems that this world is caught by the word MBA. We are seeing that every Tom, Dick and Harry (a.k.a<span style=""> </span>TD&H) comes out with his own version of MBA experience. And then??? The same TD&H is better known as some Hi Fi award winner for writing “ Life in a B School “</span></p><div> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">I have had the fortune of reading quite some books. You all know them ( may not be all). No.. I am not against any of them. In fact I loved reading the books. I even follow one of them on twitter. All I am bothered is why “MBA” is toppled in such gravy and made into a delicious Kemah which everyone loves so much?</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">The plot is all planned. Either the guy is an engineer from some weird college and later worked his Bum off to solve a problem 99.99% faster than his compatriot to win a seat in one of prestigious B schools,<span style=""> </span>or he is a known nerd from IITs and he decided to screw his life for another 2 years to serve some MNC boss who will shower fat cash and ask him to do a lap dance in market to attract customers and meet targets. </span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">Then enters the “Roop Ki Rani”. The supposedly HOT beauty on campus sweeps of the entire batch and one lucky ass gets to grab her number. Everyone tries to woo her by some means or other but she always falls for “ I damn care about u” kinda guy. It starts with a Hi. Then they don’t know why they said hi .By the time they realize the reason, they are busy. To spend quality time together, they meet in some room. The guy’s lips land exactly on the babe’s lips and there is a firework all around. One things leads to another and they lose what they were protecting till now. The sulky mood carries on for few days. Then she supposedly helps him realize his dreams and also get placed well in a good company. Then the big question. What’s next?</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">Amidst all this confusion there is also a “hero cum villain”. He is supposed to be the guy’s best friend who has crush on the lead’s girlfriend who is their common friend. But this looser doesn’t have guts to tell about his feelings to the girl. The lead always wishes that “ god like friend” never gathers courage to spill beans in front of his sweetheart. Then typical Hindi movie scene and dialogues of sacrifices fly from all corners. Nut head... Be a man. Don’t act godly by sacrificing the feeling. You came as a human and remain so. </span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">How can I forget the other characters? There will be a “Sada hua Lecturer” who tries all ways to screw up student’s life in a B School. His quizzes give opportunity for students to do “Group study” , Watch some “colorful” movie to keep themselves awake. Many turn vegetarians and turn on to weeds and grass to satisfy their hunger. The old husky movie songs surface which has this soothing effect to put everyone to sleep. Body clock goes to a toss as many fail to differentiate b/w day and night. <span style=""> </span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">In the end it’s a happy story where the guy scores the chic and lives happily ever after. </span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">After all this reading I am sure many of you must have wondered..

reminds me of the Fevicol ad where the mother is trying to keep her naughty son at one place. I call him “Chuk Buuk”. Rehman is his real name. . He is 6 years old. With an empty plate in one hand and other near his mouth; he keeps running around his mother who is a helper at construction site, imitating a train engine. I meet him almost every day after my classes. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:130%;">As I was walking back to my dorm, he came and showed me a small painting. I asked him about its owner. His curious eyes radiated the happiness. He quipped me and said “I have done it</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="font-size:130%;">Bhaiya, isn’t it good”? I was very happy. After 3 days of persuasion, he had left playing with sand and mud, and started to do something creative. I asked him what he does every day. His reply was “I get up, then play, den eat, then play, then sleep, then eat, then play, then….” . I understood. I asked him about his schooling. He said he doesn’t go to school. He feels he is still very young to go to school.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:130%;">He held my hand and dragged me. He wanted to introduce me to his friends. I happily obliged. They were a gang of five. As he took me near the construction site, he introduced me to his friends as a “ Big Friend”. They asked about what I do.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="font-size:130%;">I said them that I study. Someone in the group said, Somu sings well. I requested him to sing for me. He was hesitant. He quickly ran away and hid behind his mother. I asked which game they play. They cheered Cricket. After a small chat I decided to return to dorm. Chuk Buuk decided to come with me till the end of the fenced area. Suddenly he asked me “ Bhaiya, who stays on top of that hill” pointing at the beautiful mountains of Lavale. I asked why. He wanted to go there it seems, but his mother never allowed him to cross the fence without her. He requested me to take me to the hill. He said he wanted to stand on top the farthest hill and call out his mother. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Before I bid my little friend goodbye, I offered him a chocolate. He took it from me, but did not open it. I asked him to have. He reluctantly kept it inside his pocket and said “I will show it to my mother and then I will eat”. Suddenly he looked at sky and started blowing kisses towards the sky. He waved at me and started running back. I called him back and asked for the explanation for those kisses. He hopped and withdrew back saying “ I am thanking god because I am very happy today”.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="font-size:130%;">His one hand still on the pocket where he had treasured the chocolate, he chugged back to his mother. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I just turned back to get his last glimpse for the day, I saw him, holding a broken brick, trying to persuade his mother to use it for the construction. His mother picked it, picked the boy in her arms, and kissed him. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="font-size:130%;">Looking at the boy, I realized god is still around, I however small form he can be. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:130%;">The pillars of love trust and innocence had prepared the foundation.</span></p> <p style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> Whiskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06127744988912957038noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610454645571120451.post-31346867053503592102009-11-18T21:31:00.000-08:002009-11-18T21:51:29.494-08:00W..T...F..<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqI18xqYD7Iin94yuBkm9vE6-Tw2AI1tly7mUTgfttO8xBoXRnLeKZrwNtOC7TDsiTbvgScjgwSzlFnELYMDG0q-QGZyAcbl7aCa2oniayDMZ48tPd0XeGOAhvgAp8Rna855uNc4zz9hVa/s1600/WTF.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405688248465436242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqI18xqYD7Iin94yuBkm9vE6-Tw2AI1tly7mUTgfttO8xBoXRnLeKZrwNtOC7TDsiTbvgScjgwSzlFnELYMDG0q-QGZyAcbl7aCa2oniayDMZ48tPd0XeGOAhvgAp8Rna855uNc4zz9hVa/s320/WTF.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">Weekends are so good.

Horrible days to be in a B school. You feel that u have been hung in mid air. The snapshot of the past weekend's endeavour keeps you kicking as if a carrot is shown to goat to keep moving ahead. Evening football sessions seems to take a backseat with glimpses of submissions and "holy Crap" class tests.

For past one week i was jobless. . With hardly a few members of my batch and all seniors around, College looked a lot calmer. Don even think of asking why i stayed back. We were a bunch of caretakers of college who were on special mission to guard the college.(Ended up doing that.. Almost ). I tried to do what all i couldn't do throughout the first semester at college. I washed clothes, cleaned my room. I took a snap of room before and after the cleaning. wow... It looks so beautiful. I wanted to send a snap home but that would freak the hell out of my mother(as she never saw me keep it so clean lately). </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Day One: </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Good Afternoon.. I said to myself. Kept my laptop on for almost 5 hours non stop to download as many movies i could. I ended up falling asleep again only to realize its already evening.. The battery had died and comp was in a hallucinating stage :P. Drowsy but stable i walked up to the mess and hogged two chats and some tea... I heard some seniors running back to the hostel .. they were happy that the "problem x from the y text book, taught by z teacher in ab's class did not turn up in exam".. pooor fella.. I had a similar tale to tell a few days back.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Day Two:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Good Afternoon( Again...). I was tired of explaining seniors why i was on campus all these days with few others. But thats the way it is.. Luckily few seniors saw me jobless and called me for a game of football. The match lasted about an hour.30 minutes we spent looking for the ball in the woods, 15 minutes i ended up looking for it in the other teams possession, 10 min i kissed it with my foot( Almost..) I backed out the last 5 min.. I felt i was in the Manchester stadium. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Day Three:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">" Movie at 11 .. wake up u ass" Read my mobile screen. It was 10 am and i was freaking out from where did this come from. As this was the only way to see the outside world(considering the city is around 18 km), i felt it was a fair deal to get up and get ready. Watched a movie, full paisa vasool..</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Day four:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Frustrated with the timetable </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">of getting up at 10 or 11 am, i decide to check how the would looks at 6 am. Beautiful...!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Sun stroked cloudless sky with a pinch of mist and birds chirping.. I wondered life is a lot better on this side of hostel.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Day Five and Six was similar but not same.. So i will skip it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I learnt a few things....</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">1. Grass on the other side of the Meadow is always green.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">2. Get some Biscuits with u... u never know when you require them.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">3. Hot drink+ cigar ash+ soda +lemon.. sucks..( saw my friend puke .. :( .........)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">4. Carry your mobile when you go for a walk. You end up missing someone special..</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">5. Take life with a pinch of salt. Life comes in a package</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">The new semester was greeted with a chilly morning and a misty day..

Indeed it does. Not just because I am a complete Coffee freak. I am. This place I am talking about is the beauty of SIBM Campus. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:130%;">Nestled in between the shopping complex and the Dining hall, this 40 X 60 area kindles life. After a long and tiring day, students come here to recline on the metallic sidebars and share the day’s happenings. The shopping complex by now consists of a Unisex Saloon, a Chat shop and a new "All-in-one" super shop and an Espresso hot and cold beverages shop.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:130%;">The place picks up pace around 7 pm, just before dinner when students from all the three institutes on campus come .The crowd is floating. On one side it’s the coffee provided in the Dining hall, and on other side it’s the "paid “coffee" provided by these shops. With coffee/tea in one hand (no matter from where), the beautiful Lavale valley which spans across the horizon and the group of friends on other side, we can’t ask for anything better. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:130%;">Topics span from the latest trends in Pune city to the hottest "Dame" on campus. Some students who just want to have some peaceful time also come. And refreshment??? Ohhh it’s in plenty here. Fresh air, fresh faces, fresh topics. Somebody talks about how a lecturer gave very less marks, and the close friend tries to console in the best suited way. Some business lingo freaks talk about the latest stock market news and some quiz each other on the latest jargons. Of course there are some like me who are just "Lost" hearing the Greek and Latin.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:130%;">I decided to just skim across and listen to what all topics are being discussed. I started with some guys and gals who were standing in a group nearby. They were excited about new Chat shop on campus. As I moved across the lounge somebody was telling how his latest downloads software is better than the previous one. And he went on to literally force others to use it. There was another group of seniors who were discussing about a hot fresher whom they met during the Fresher’s party. One among them noticed me and suddenly stopped as if they had said something "not to be spoken". Common guys.. It’s ok. Surprisingly as I met another classmate of mine, who was staring continuously at the seniors group, caught my attention. As I went to talk to her, she revealed that she somewhat finds this senior "Interesting"...OOOFFFF another way to prove A->B, B->C (Now don’t ask about A->c or other way round)</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:130%;">Somewhere down the alley I saw a guy from my class who was sitting all alone, looking at the vast sky and waiting as if someone special would come from the mountains to see him. I asked him the reason for the silence. Very articulately he answered "can you hear the silence? Doesn’t it seem as if that mountain waits everyday for sun to set and for the beautiful moon to come and have a date with it?" I saw a letter pad on his lap. A poet he was...</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:130%;">I happened to just drop in after a heavy day with Economics class being the Show stopper for the day. Since it was the last day before our class was going to disintegrate into different specialization, we had decided to spend some time together over a coffee. As we reached, some barged to get some coffee and other who were Chat freaks went to get some "Samosa Chat" and "Pakoda". The damages were not cared as it was the last day as MBA 'A' Div. Somebody just mentioned "do you remember 2 months back we were unknown to each other, coming from far and wide, but now, it’s SIBM which binds us :)" For that fraction of second all of us stood silently. Nobody realized they went through a flashback of what all had happened all these days. How it started from the Induction day, to how somebody entered late to class. How the director gave a Moral Lecture full of "Josh", how the celebration took place when someone got into councils, and how we freaked out during the Fresher’s Party. The songs of K.K about college days had surfaced again. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:130%;">Somehow I felt a little disturbed. I traced my steps back and started walking towards the centre of the quadrangle. I stood at the centre looking around. With the Moist Sunrays, Cool Breeze, Blue Mountains, and lots of friends around I realized, Life is here. Let’s embracing every moment.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:130%;">Sipping my cup of coffee, I bid goodbye to all.

Within 2 hours i was ready, with packed bags and broad smile, to go to Home- Sweet- Home :) Traveling in the college bus and reaching <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Swargate</span> was a ride to remember. As i looked outside the window, all i saw were people covered in the marks. The expression on their face was not a pleasant feeling. Small school children were holding each other's hands and trotting across the dusty lanes.<br /> As i reached the place at around 9 pm, i decided to stroll the Bus stand til 10:30 pm. My bus was scheduled to depart at 11 pm. Now the question was what to do at 9 pm, in a city Bus stand which will captivate me for at least an hour. As i got down, i felt the pressure and went to finish my daily business.I took out my "Mask", a typical surgical mask for around 10 rupees, which almost covered my face. The question was that whether this mask would give me enough protection against the flu?I was getting information and my parents were literally tracking my every move sitting from home. thanks to Mobile Phone.Constant orders like Wash u r hands, put on the mask, don eat outside, etc etc were being flooded from all angles.After all they are my parents:)<br />The agony of travelling the whole night in an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Asiad</span> Bus(that's what they call here, not sure about the spelling...) doubled as the conductor handed me the middle seat in the last row of the bus. Lord save me.At last with much start up problems, the bus started. Suddenly i realised almost everyone in the bus, including the conductor was covering their face. I realised, everyone loves their life a lot.<br />After a long, bumpy ride, and severe back ache, i reached <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Solapur</span> at around 5 am.Without wasting any more time i got into another bus which would ferry me to my native place, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Bijapur</span>. By 8 i entered the historical city. My father was waiting to pick me up at the bus stand. He was relieved to find that i still had the mask on me.<br />After a long break i am back at my college.The assignments have piled up. The scene looks gloomy. I realise i have spent the leave enjoying with my friends and talking to my relatives. But our lecturers expected us to study during this time. I wish i could. With very few days left for an important event lined up to occur, and everybody on campus trying to print it in our mind, i am left with no option but to think seriously and act appropriately.<br />Hope all will be well in a few days from now when i Will be back at my native with a reason to smile.<br /></div>Whiskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06127744988912957038noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610454645571120451.post-2612093167839296252009-08-01T23:44:00.000-07:002009-08-01T23:48:36.161-07:00Some Recent Updates on Wordpress1.

Walking along I saw the holy grail of trail blazers which spoke of the journey. The journey which may have started from the Foot hills of Himalays or the long standing Vivekananda Rock, to the picturesque ranges of Lavale. <span style=""> </span>Green blanket of fern and moss was touching my feet. Foot soaked in the dark brown shade of slush. The clouds around take took me to a new world altogether. Standing at the pinnacle of the heavy grass land and the whole horizon left to kiss and embrace. Numerous Fountains of silver elixir rubbing the green lawns was a sight of life.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>The sun had started to feel sleepy.

The supreme court had , <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">at last</span>, recognized the Special Breed.I was very happy.<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Does not</span> mean i am a gay. I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">definitely</span> not.But in the world where we talk of equal rights to everyone, this comes of a surprise to me. India is bounded by its own set of values, which are very grounded. But Does it mean we should fail to recognize the people who are , just like us, even just not being like us?The clear written document which the article 377 says, i <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">don't</span> wish to explain here. But its great on the part of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Indian</span> law that this is the initial step for the ultimate "Change". Now, even they can breathe freely.Recently i read about a teen age couple(both ladies), who ran from their home town in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">kerala</span>, just to be peaceful and live their life their way.They <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">need not</span> hide any more. Another girl was beaten blue and black, just because she told her mother, that she likes another girl, and wishes to spend her entire life with her.Now <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">onwards</span>, even she can stand up and make her choice. Make it for good.The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">celebrity</span> aspect always helps. Great to see Celina <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Jaitley</span> pitch in her solidarity and even get her photo published in the media, with a Gay.The world is slowly recognizing this breed.

Standing majestic, almost hazy, stood the peak, thumping the authority in the entire belt. We, a bunch of 18 young boys, all 16 year old, had done something which others of our age can aspire to. We were the youngest to reach to that peak. Wind blowing at a dangerous speed, and body covered in heavy fabrics,, with goggles to cover our vision and Crampons to hold our feet in snow, we started the assault. We had to make it to the top before the sun could rise. We didn’t want the ground beneath us melt due to sunrays which would fall majestically on this peak. The entire team had entrusted to the wills of Gods which resides in those mountains. Temperature taking the –ve dip to -10 degree, and winds lashing our faces, we braved ahead. With a slope of about 70 degree, the ad reline which rushes in you at that moment, can’t be weighed. Suddenly the Sherpa shouted “take the left ridge.. I fear there is a crevasse on the right”. Our Heart skipped a beat. Crevasse is a death trap. One careless step and it’s your dooms day.<br />“Buck up boys.. The sun is on its way...”shouted tiger. We halted for a drop of life, resting in a small rock formation, kneeling down to grip it with our knee. Long across the Chinese border, we saw the silver lining, beautifully painting the sleepy sky red. Suddenly I heard “ANCHOR....”. I jumped to my left with the ice axe and pierced the hard snow with it. Someone from the team had slipped and this was to hold him as all are connected by a strong rope. The bottle from his bag had slipped. It fell on the deep edges and rock, running a chill down my spine. It slowly lost its intensity as it perished in the virgin valley. Nobody knows what lies there. And nobody would want to know, as the only way to reach there is to let go your ropes.<br />Lips tasting salty with the sweat inching down the throat, we saw the “Hanging Head”. It’s called hanging because it’s not permanent. “Victory.....” Shouted tiger. I looked around the vast barren snow land. We had done it. We conquered the peak. Tiger took the radio and Averred to the people at 3 places, our school at D.Dun, The base camp, and Advance base camp..“ Assault attempt successful. We did it”. Slowly we unpacked. We hugged each other and celebrated the victory by unfurling the Flags of Indian Army and my school.<br />I open my diary. It’s almost 6 years now. Slowly the sun had started to smile. It was a new horizon, a new day. A day to be cherished for life time. I have not forgotten the smell of fresh snow, the temper of gutsy wind, and the whole nature to embrace. In the quest to summit, I lost my 6 fingers due to frost bite. The doctor did not diagnose properly. In bargain I had to change my career. But was it worth it is the question I still ponder upon. Many words said and many miles walked. All i cherish is the journey to it. I wish to go back. Go back for good.<br />Ich Dien</div>Whiskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06127744988912957038noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610454645571120451.post-31091057439174590902009-06-28T06:04:00.000-07:002009-08-02T03:48:59.070-07:00Feel<div style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes your feet goes numb, u miss a pulse, u feel restless...its not always a sign of some medical alertness.

What a Place. Nestled in the mountains near <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">pune</span>, this temple of learning has its unique aura. Navigating the long dusty roads of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">PUNE</span>, the bus inched <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">towards</span> the college nestled amidst the mountains, around 18km from the main city. As the bus reached the base of the hillock on which the college is situated, the tone of the bus changed as if it is from the "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Mughal</span> era" trying to negotiate those terrains. Slowly and steadily, our vehicle climbed the hillock wen the bus abruptly stopped at the entrance. The guard entered the bus and announced"MBA First Year <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ke</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Bacche</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">jinhe</span> hostel <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">nahi</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">mila</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">hai</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">woh</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Bahar</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">aaiye</span>". With 2 heavy bags, i got down and the bus went <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">inside</span> the camps. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Long</span> near the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">horizon</span> i saw a building and asked the guard, "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Kya</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">wohi</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">hamara</span> hostel <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">hai</span>?The guard quipped and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">said </span>"<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">haan</span>.. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">wahi</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">hai</span>". He directed me to the building next and asked to to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">go</span> the office and finish all my formalities and get the hostel and room details. within 10 min the job was done. But now the problem was how will i carry the entire luggage <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">with</span> no vehicle, around a km away? I saw a rack of bicycles kept and took one to ferry the luggage. Balancing the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">luggage</span> i somehow " walked " with the cycle, with luggage kept on it and reached hostel. The evening went in "breaking the ice" with seniors and small chat sessions. Next day <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">morning</span> we had the induction day.Dress code:-Formals with Tie. My <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">room</span> mate had arrived by night and we just happened to go for a long walk. after <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">coming</span> back from hostel i met few of students from my state and are very close to me now.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Next day morning i got up early and rushed for breakfast.

Pacing down the alley, I realized the coffee was yet to brew. Mind was full, Lots of things entangled in it. As the coffee got ready, I took a sip and went to terrace. The cool breeze calmed me down. I was sure, two days were good enough. With a smile I returned to study, more relaxed, more confident.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in">Even a small break in day to day life of an individual holds a lot of importance. Amar, a hardworking first bencher of my class, never climbed the charts in exams, despite the titanic efforts put in by him. This continued for few semesters. When he consulted his friends, he realized he was missing something.. a break. He went to his native and spent time with his parents. When he came back before exams, he was more confident and no more tensed. No wonder he barged into top 5 of the class.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in">We had a typical night out during the last internal exams. We studied whole night(almost), had a very few hours of sleep, before we got ready for exams. As the exam finished, we were sitting in class when it started drizzling. Sleeves rolled, trousers folded, we started a game of football for next 1 hour. A post match relaxing session followed, where I saw that all were tired, but were happy. They had a well deserved break.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in">A road side eat out next to our college is a nice Adda .On the weekends it’s a common sight to find the students, chatting with the seniors. Day cruises by as the topic moves from lectures, to movies, to serious issues like recession and placements. The humorous chit-chats ensure we are back into business as the new week kicks off.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in">After a long 15 day marathon project work, a group of my friends went for a movie. As the hero delivered a sleazy dialogue, Abhi got up and started shouting and laughing out loud. When asked to calm down he said he was just trying to vent out his anger on the professor who has scolded him in the morning.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in">Fest time are a chillax moments. We howl we dance, we head bang. We see new MJ’s and Himesh bhai’s surfacing. They don’t care who is watching them, or whether their dance step is apt. All they know is that this is a fest time.

This animal stood still as the train slowed down...i was standing at the door of my coach.... i started watching it... it seemed very calm... lots of things ran in my mind... aren man and animal fighting for a space to live? aren humans, for their selfish motives encroching the animal habitat?or who will draw the boundary? the thin line ?<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I remember an article in a leading daily which mentioned about a special tribe called "vishnoi"in rajasthan, who take care of these animals as their own children.Sometime they go to the extent of brest feeding the younger deers.<br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>atlast the train picked up its speed... i felt the deer was trying to tell me something...telling me to fight for their right.. right for their existance...

style="font-size:85%;">Hazy twilight showering its grace on you, <span style=""> </span>is it<span style=""> </span>love or a love grain?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:

world at our feet,</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Why do I get lost in them, as that’s where our worlds meet.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Tears rolling down her eyes, she made me feel what<span style=""> </span>is pain.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"

style="font-size:85%;">Moist breeze covering us around, waiting for us to come together,</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Tenderly she wept in my arms and held me.. as if .. forever.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Held in the weight of emotions, I comforted her to stay,</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-size:85%;">She wept harder as if the world was far and away.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span

was on a long run.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Sweet tears rolled down her cheeks ,rubbing my face and wetting it,</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-size:85%;">2lives were to be separated, a cloudy sky, a shady tree and beneath it .</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The grip loosening, emotions high, she moved an inch behind.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I knew it was the time.. as the world wouldn unwind.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-size:85%;">She left me once and for ever, trying to catch the last glimpse of me,</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Train chugged away in the golden mist, I stood lost, broken … under
