Yeh bumbai hai meri jaan!!!

My 2nd module has ended and now its vacation time. We will be on vacation till 10th of January. I want to talk about many things as I’m writing after more than 1 month’s time. So here I go:
1. Our exams ended on Monday, 21st and it was really a fun time for all of us. Soon after the exam got over at 5pm, me and my friends went to temple located near L&T. It was A’s idea. I never thought that such a nice temple lies in the vicinity of NITIE. It was really a great experience as I was visiting Lord Shiva’s temple after a long time. Then, later around 9 pm we all went to Happy singh- a restaurant cum bar. We enjoyed a lot in our chit chat. After everything was over, my friends ordered for something called TEQUILA. Basically, it’s a small drink which penetrates right through your chest and gives you the feeling of heat inside you. Since, I wanted to try it so I also ordered it. It was a great experience to try something new. Very next day, we all went to watch the most awaited movie of James Cameron—AVATAR. I really enjoyed the movie since it was the first 3D movie I waswatching. The effects were really awesome.
2. In this vacation, I’m one of those unlucky ones who don’t have the reservation for their journey :(. Yes! I don’t know why I acted in so stupid and lax way that I didn’t reserve my ticket to my place. I was in my own over confidence that I’ll be getting TATKAL ticket in the train and will be travelling like a king, without thinking about the festive season and approaching New Year. Well, somehow I woke up at 5.30 am and went to Andheri(w) station to get the ticket and I was stunned to see that even at 6.30am people were in a huge queue to get the ticket. After looking this, I was sure that I’m not going to get any ticket but still stood there with some hope. Finally, when process started at 8am, I got a ticket waitlisted at 12 in 3AC. I still don’t know whether it is going to clear or not. I’m hoping as I know “Hope is a good thing. May be the best of all things and no good things ever die”.
3. I must say that Mumbaikars are the most helpful people of India. There are many instances which I can narrate. As today when I reached andheri, the auto rickshaw dropped me at andheri(E) and when I enquired then I came to know that reservation centre was at andheri(w). So I went to an auto rickshaw to hire. But the auto rickshaw driver told me that it’s very much near and I can walk. He even showed me the way. Had I been at some other place like in north India, I would have taken away by auto rickshaw and he would have made money. Next instance was in the queue. I didn’t have the reservation form to fill the journey details. So I asked a person standing behind me. But he didn’t have. Then one old man standing behind him gave me his own form saying “I have this extra form filled on one side. You can use it by reverse side.” Like this I was helped. HAIL MUMBAIKARS !!!
4. And at last but not at least, Merry X-mas and Happy New Year to all..Enjoy!!!

falling in love with "the shawshank redemption"

Today I was at my cousin’s place and was watching TV. Suddenly while scanning the channels I found the Movie The shawshank Redemption being telecasted on UTV movies. I watched this movie before also in NSIT and I liked it a lot. So, I again started to watch it.
I really enjoyed the movie and I can surely say that I love this movie. I will say that this is one of the brilliant works. I didn’t see any movie from director Frank Darabont before. The movie was not a big hit, though I still don’t know why, but it received favourable reviews from critics. I would say that the movie is not about a prisoner. But it is about two great friends-Andy and Red.
There are certain instances where I really enjoyed the dialogues and scenes too. Like when Red initially says that Hope is a dangerous thing. It can make a man insane. And then later in the end of the movie, Andy tells him that Hope is a good thing. May be the best of all things and good things don’t die. I really love these dialogues by Andy. And also when after Andy’s escape from the prison, Red says that some birds are not meant to be caged because their feathers are too bright to fly.
The music throughout the movie is slow and soft and it directly penetrates inside you and makes you numb. I loved its music too. How often when you start your new life you invite your old accomplice or your friend to be a part of your new life? This thing has been shown here and it really creates a great feeling of a relationship called FRIENDSHIP.

Happy bday to me :)

Today is my Birth day 11/11. I love this date also because of the combination of four 1s. This is the first time I’m explaining my Birthday on my blog. So I want to tell all in detail.
So yesterday 10/11, 11.30pm, I was sitting in my room and thought to change and put on some heavy clothes because I was frightened thinking about the start of the birthday. So I tried two inner wears instead of one, weared my very tight jeans with tight pockets and kept wallet in one of the pockets behind and hanker chief in the other in order to save my ass anyhow. And finally the clock ticked 12 and I was dragged to the common area of my floor. But process of my birthday bums got delayed as my best friend P called to wish me. After that I don’t think I should explain :(. Everyone from my friend circle including A, N, AM, R, NS, S and AJ tried their best kicks on my soft bottoms. By experiencing today’s bums, I think I was treated too gently in NSIT. Let me say that staying in NITIE on your birthday is one of the very daring tasks to do.
Later on when this mental and physical torture was over, I was dragged towards cake cutting ceremony and whole cake was applied on my face leaving my unidentified. But in all those moments I really enjoyed alot and will cherish these moments forever. Since it was raining hard, so we couldn’t go to Nescafe for more celebration.
In the morning, I woke up by my dad’s call and it was so sweet hearing his voice and wishing me. Thereafter my sisters and mom called me followed by many other friends.
Rest of the day was quite normal as I was in my cosy room due to heavy rains in aamchi Mumbai. A cyclone was predicted today and that’s why I was advised by mom to not to go outside. But as usual who wants to stay inside on his/her birthday? So we also planned to celebrate it in Hiranandani and went to mantra-a good restaurant with Chinese chicks to greet you :). I wore my new spykar shirt, new fastrack watch I bought especially for my birthday and also my new specks for style. There we were in a que to get a table for 12 people. So we waited and still enjoyed alot by clicking photographs, gossiping and also playing with the ballons (sounds crazy! But we did it :P). And like this, the birthday came to an end leaving me sad and I’m waiting for the next birthday to come.
Actually I really feel proud on my birthday not because it’s a special day but because I’m a scorpion which is considered to be very different from all zodiac signs. It feels great that I share my birthday with Demi Moore and Aryan Khan(SRK’s son) and this scorpion sun sign with some of the very renowned personalities of this world like Bill Clinton, Leonardo di caprio, Indira Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Aishwarya rai and at last but not at least SRK-my idol. I don’t know why people feel frightened with scorpions. Even sometimes I don’t understand. Actually I love the qualities possessed by me and also hate some qualities due to which I’m hated by the world.
I found the following information about scorpions on web:
“Scorpio is the symbol of sex and Scorpios are passionate lovers, the most sensually energetic of all the signs. Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior. They are like the volcano not far under the surface of a calm sea.
Scorpio romance
You are among the best lovers, instinctively knowing what your partner wants. You are intense and passionate and none of your lovers will ever forget you. You will sweep many off with your magnetic charm. You will rarely distinguish between a passing fancy and true love. For you, it will always be a passionate involvement. Scorpios can also be very jealous and will go to any lengths to claim what they feel is rightly theirs. You will find your ideal life partner in fellow water signs - Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. It is the water signs that understand you best”.

Breaking news : I'm a FLIRT

As I wrote in my previous post that I went to my place on Diwali so I met a friend. Frankly saying I made a friend. So it all started with her initiating first on my way to Saharanpur. Since, she is also pursuing her PG course so I didn’t missed the opportunity to form a network as we are told in MBA that networking is very important for managers. I took her cell no. And she gave it being unhesitant. Later on it all started with messages etc. but after so many messages and all I got a comment that “I’m a FLIRT”. On this I was really shocked as I never had more than 1 girl friend in the past. Later on, the statement was revised as “I’m GOOD AT GIRLS”. Again I was forced to think that do I have personality that attracts girls?? But I honestly answered the question as unfortunately I’m similar to any other guy on this earth (poor me :().
Then from where she got this instinct that I am good at girls? Really don’t know. So like this, in these 15 days we managed to become good friends. But still she carries a notion that “I’m a FLIRT”. So the moral of the story is that don’t make FEMALE friends on journey. You will definitely get a tag of being a FLIRT or GOOD AT GIRLS :).
Secondly, now a days I’m not having anything to write. I’m actually developing a feeling that blogging is just waste of time and that’s the reason due to which sometimes even I have events to explain but still I don’t make any effort to write them here. The fact is not that I’m very busy but I’ve become ultra lazy who only listens to songs and enjoys gossiping with friends. I even miss meditation sometimes. I hate this routine. I want to do something constructive. Somebody please help...
Also read a nice quote in TOI “you die when you stop dreaming”. So have big dreams because:

“your daily dreams and work,
Can grow the wings of luck.
Every little effort makes you fly,
If you dream to go high and high”.

Pretty woman...

I believe home is the best place in this world. You must be thinking about the reason behind this statement. Actually, I went to my place on Diwali and really enjoyed the stay. Never before I enjoyed the stay at home so much as this time. The food cooked by my mom was really relishing. After almost two months I was eating at home and it was fun. After all, as in movies we say “maa ke haath ka khana”. I and my friend A left the campus @ 12 noon to catch the train from Panvel. Since his seat was not confirmed so he stayed with me. Actually we had fun in whole journey. We had plenty of time and nothing to do. So I even convinced him to watch my all time favourite movie KANK. I don’t know whether he enjoyed it or not but he didn’t criticise.
Later on, our train reached New Delhi @ 2.30 pm and A went to his home in Delhi. And I was alone now and had to catch my train to Saharanpur. Since it was festive season, so lot of rush was there and I somehow managed to get a seat adjacent to one uncle by making my innocent face (I’m, actually, expert in doing that to grab the seat). Later on, one couple came and asked me to exchange seat with them and like this I got a strategic location from where I could have a view of two girls sitting near me. I concentrated on girl sitting adjacent to me who was really pretty. I wanted to talk to her but she was with her boyfriend or brother. So I peacefully dropped this great idea. But I don’t know why I was consistently staring at her. She was really sweet. I usually don’t expect such things happening to me on that route. But I really enjoyed the journey by gazing her. Hope to see more such journey pleasure in the near future.

no title... :(

So I’m back after a long time as I was busy with academics etc. of MBA. After all MBA is not an easy job. There are various things I would like to tell you about. So let’s begin:
1. My 1st module exams got over on Friday and with that we all finished 1/6th of MBA :). It felt great also and bit tense too. Tense because from tomorrow (22nd September) company’s pre placement talks are going to start and from 5th October we’ll be having summer intern process. It will be all hectic schedule, at least for 20 days. A fight will start among us. May all win within those crucial 5 days.
2. Few days back I was surfing some astrological site (yes, fortunately or unfortunately I believe in all these things). I was looking at perfect pairs in terms of zodiac signs. It was given that scorpions pair best with Pisces, Aquarius because of common watery nature. Suddenly I started thinking that do people think of all these before falling in love. It’s too weird. I was thinking that if a girl proposes you and you ask her what is your zodiac sign? It sounds so strange.
3. Today, I was looking at some news on net regarding a TV show sach ka saamna which stated that a 32 year old woman committed suicide after watching the show. It happened because the woman correlated her own life with the person in the show. I felt so pity on that woman who destroyed her life just by the influence of a TV show. How can you take decisions of your life by getting influenced from TV shows like this? Even I’m influenced by the movies but only up to certain extent to which I’ll not lose anything in life. After all TV is meant for entertainment and not for destruction.
4. Finally today I got my visiting cards. Actually if you are a member of some forum or committee, then you can have your visiting cards, showing your designation. Since I’m in SPIC MACAY, so I also got the visiting cards. The moment I saw them, it felt so different. It may be a small thing for people having work experience but for me it was like feeling of complete professionalism. I cherished the moments when I used to carry my Dad’s visiting cards in order to influence my friends in school. But today I carry my own tag with me. I’ve come a long way from those sweet childhood memories to professional PG course. Time is changing; people are changing and what not. On this I remember when our English teacher said in the class that:
School days are the golden days. They are never repeated.

blah blah blah...

From past few days, I’m living in a dilemma i.e. whether to start smoking or not?? It may sound really foolish. But the environment I’m living in is mostly dominated by smokers. You will hardly find a guy who is a non-smoker. Someday or the other I have to go with my friends to accompany them in smoking and stand like a dumb outside the shop when they are smoking. Let me tell you that this excellent B-school has smoker’s hub just outside the main gate of the campus. But I’m very sure that I’ll not start this. But the feeling of taking each single breath (gush) of smoke with head up in the air really fascinates me.
Next thing is the habit of drinking. People say that you must drink since you will enter the corporate world and there it is the part of life. So we should start at least social drinking. But I don’t agree on this because no one is going to force you for this in your future. People only require a reason to drink. Sometimes I think how a person could taste that bloody thing which tastes like hell. Again it’s my perception where still some people think it’s leisure of life. But I don’t agree on this.

I'm Mr. Lonely and dumb :(

These days I’m feeling very lonely. The reasons behind this are many. Actually I’m a shy kind of person due to which I usually don’t approach to people in order to talk to them. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk to people. I would love to talk to people but the problem is people take me in a wrong way. They think I’m very much egoistical and that’s why I don’t talk to them. I really don’t know what to say and how to say aimlessly. Many times it happens that I have to go class alone. It really disturbs my state of mind.
People in our batch got selected in various committees, forums, etc. But I’m nowhere. This is another reason which haunts me. People have formed groups. They enjoy in those groups. Again I’m alone in my hostel room. I want to play TT, badminton, want to roam in aamchi Mumbai and what not. But people are busy with their groups. This shows how dumb I am who couldn’t even get in a single committee or forum. Actually the committee which I wanted didn’t selected me and I didn’t applied in which I would have got through. In the end, again I’m a loser. I really don’t know what goes wrong with me in this journey of life where even if I perform well still I don’t win. It seems I should start loving failures and hating success.

Mandi... Once upon a time :)

So I’m back again with a novel experience which I can assure that no one of you ever had. Actually, I’m talking about MANDI which is a yearly event of NITIE in which all students are given bag full of toys from an NGO and they are suppose to be sell by the students on Mumbai streets. There were teams of two and each member was given a mandi t-shirt. We all felt great since this was the first t-shirt we wore on which NITIE was written.
So, in the morning we had our breakfast and we were told to have unlimited breakfast. But there were chhola-bhatura and that too of worst quality and in that case how can you hope to have unlimited breakfast. So somehow I managed to eat 1 and ½ bhatura and moved towards badminton court where opening ceremony was planned. We sat in one of the front rows so that we can have a good view of Preeti Jhangiani, the celebrity and one of the chief guests. While waiting, we clicked some of the pics in different poses. After waiting for ½ hour, the ceremony started and preeti came. We were stunned to see her since she looked bit fat and less beautiful than in the movies. After all the speeches, there was an oath taking ceremony. After this we walked towards the bus by which we were supposed to reach our destination or market. So somehow we managed to fit into the bus but the driver took too much time in starting the journey. We were all pissed off and some of the guys even walked down and took auto. Well, after waiting for about ½ an hour, the bus started and took approximately 1 hour to reach andheri (w) station. So after getting off the bus, we decided to get segregated and then sell the toys.
There were people walking around but all of them were in hurry. So we tried to approach some of the people but were unsuccessful to convince them. Finally I approached a middle aged man who was waiting for someone and I said “sir, can I have your 2minutes please”. He replied positively. Then we said “we are the students of NITIE which is one of the top ten B-schools of India. We are selling toys made by an NGO called navnirmiti”. After that we gave him all the features of the toys and finally , since he was in hurry, he said “achha jaldi batao kitne mei dena hai.120/- theek hai”. But then we explained him that we can’t bargain and finally he agreed to pay the marked price of the product.
Like this we got some motivation that yes we can sell them. Our next customer was a couple where husband took the toys just because he also worked for an NGO. Since we were not able to click a picture with our first customer, so we clicked a nice pic with this couple. After roaming for about 1 and a ½ hour, we realised that this is not the right market to sell and we moved to Juhu beach where many of our batch mates were really trying hard to sell. Here we also joined the race and successfully were able to sell all of the toys till 7.30 pm. At juhu, we met some of our alumni and they gave certain tips on how to sell the toys. I kept one of the units for my nephews. After this, we had our dinner and catched a local to NITIE.
It was a inexplicable experience. I must say that it was a lifetime experience. We are never going to step in the market like this if we opt for marketing but the knowledge about market and customers we got from this exercise is fabulous. I personally realised how tough it is to earn money and even to spend each extra penny. We, at home or any other place, don’t treat sales people in a gentle way. But I realised how it feels when somebody says “NO” to you. We understood how tough it is for a roadside salesman to sell each extra unit of his product. Suddenly we all have gained respect for sales people. All in all, it was a great experience....

Dating with Nature :)

Few days back, we had a photo shoot @ NITIE for placement brochure and also for the individual photo for the NITIE website. It was suppose to be in full formals. So all of us nicely dressed in blazer, tie etc. went to the NITIE lawns. It was real fun because before the main photo shoot all of us started posing for our personal photos. So I was also not behind in the race and asked my roommate to click some of my poses. At last, we were made to stand in rows according to our height in which I tried to stand in one of the front rows. But unfortunately I was pushed back as people said “yeh lamba hai, isko peeche bhejo” and like this I was pushed in the second last row. As soon as photo shoot ended, it started raining (By the way, while I’m writing this post it is still raining:P) since you can’t trust Mumbai’s rain.
After 5-10 minutes, rain stopped and we went back to our hostel. Then in the noon, we had our individual photo shoot. After that, I and my friends Am, D, S and Ab planned to click some of the photos in NITIE campus which is one of the greenest campuses of India. On our way what we found was really beautiful. Since there was no sun, so weather was pleasant and cool breeze was blowing making us feel good. We clicked at every niche of the campus. Actually behind NITIE campus we have Vihar lake which is really huge and is a part of Sanjay Gandhi national park and it is said that in recent times leopards have approached NITIE campus from there. Well I think leopards also wanted to have some management gyaan and some technical knowledge too since they also encroached in IITB recently.
Vihar Lake gives a real picture of scenery since there are no urban areas behind it. There are sahyadri ranges around the lake and on some of the ranges clouds were seemed to be sitting. You really can’t say that we were in Mumbai by looking those photos. We found beautiful butterflies sitting on flowers and we caught them in our camera. They were of different colours mainly blue, red, yellow etc. The environment reminded us as if we were on a hill station. It seemed that budding managers were inspecting Nature. But trust me, this time managers were not looking for some profit but to laud Nature’s beauty. It was awesome. By looking at photos you can easily imagine what our experience was. It was really a nice date with nature. Felt great!!!!!

Pyar, Ishq aur Mohabbat !!!!

From past few days I was observing some of the people around me and their love life. And after much thought process I derived some of the astonishing conclusions which might not be true according to you. To begin with I have a friend called A and he is with me in Mumbai. He had various girl friends before and presently also he has one. But when I asked him about marriage his reply was “shaadi to mom ki marzi se hi hogi”. And that forced me to think is love a game of enjoyment played before marriage? I mean how can you spend your time, energy and emotions with a person who you think is not going to stay with you for a long time. Here I want to quote a dialogue from KANK in which SRK says to rani “Mohabbat ke zamane guzar gaye janab, ab chhote mote pyar se hi kaam chala lijiye aap”. So love is time pass or mere enjoyment. Another friend A in Delhi is in love, as he says, with P. But he is always fascinated by his old female friends and even goes to meet them. As I asked him why you do that, his answer was really interesting. He said “Deepesh, there is always a girl in your life for whom you want to avoid your true love, may be for few moments”. On this firstly I was stunned but later on agreed as I too have done this once or twice. After all men are dogs. They are never satisfied with one true love. They are always fascinated by passing by fancies.
Next comes my friend K who did love marriage by going against her parents. But today after 3 years of marriage, she says there is no compatibility between them. On this my persuasions asks me that is love so fickle that it can’t last for whole life? If you are not able to tolerate each other even in initial phase of marriage then how would you be united when more responsibilities will be there. In such cases it’s better to finish it off. But still it’s not easy to face that trauma of divorce and break up.
At last, the finger turns to me since I’m in a relationship from past four years. On this I want to say that you have no right to destroy someone’s life and also you should not give this right to others to do the same for you. I personally feel that love demands commitment and it’s all about care. The more you care more the bond will get stronger. And if still nothing works well, then trust the words “marriages are made in heaven” and “someone, somewhere is made for you”. You will have that lucky one with you may be today or tomorrow. I think I’m sounding much filmy so I should shut my mouth....

"Hum khush hai" says SRK in KANK :)

By looking at the title you must have guessed that I'm happy now days. And I'm glad that I'm happy at the time of writing this post, otherwise you would have again encountered a gloomy post. The reasons for my happiness are:

1. Firstly, it's a weekend and we don't have any hectic schedule today and can plan for some outing. But it might not be feasible because people have committee interviews in the evening and me too.

2. Secondly, my mom is going Gujarat to my dad's place and no more she will be living alone. As my dad works in BOB and he is posted there so mom was living alone at our home. After all there's no point of living alone as now I'm in Mumbai and my sisters are also married.

3. Thirdly, everything is quite chill here in Nitie. Pressure of studies is less as compared to other B-schools. So, I always get time to rest. You may call it just like FMS.

4. At last but not at least, I'm always in touch with my old friends. Initially I thought that my all college friends will be left back and there may not be any contact as all will get busy in jobs, higher education etc. But now days, I always talk to my old friends through gtalk, phone etc. Few days back N, P and Panks called me. It felt so good as I also have people who misses me. I also talked to V1 and also chatted with V2. H and B are always online. So the feeling of missing NSIT friends has gone. But I still miss NSIT :(. Whenever I'm in the gloomy mood of missing NSIT, I always sing the song from Yaadein " nagme hai, shikve hai, kisse hai, baatein hai.Baatein bhool jati hai, yaadein yaad aati hai.Yeh yaadein kisi dilo janam ke chale jane ke baad aati hai. yaadein...yaadein"

Enjoying Extreme...

I am inspired to write this post from the weather around me in Mumbai. As we all know that there are lot of rains in Mumbai as usual. This is june going on, the month in which I use to sweat like hell with all coolers, ACs and what not.This is the month which is not only hated by me but by the entire north India. It is the hottest month of the year. But this time I'm enjoying it-thanks to Mumbai. Monsoon has arrived here on time and it's raining here since last 1 week. I haven't seen Mr. Sun since then. Now it has become my habit to keep umbrella in my bag when i leave for the classes daily. Another good thing is that when if it's not raining then it's cool breeze which is always there and soothes you.

On the other hand, most of the regions in India are facing scarcity of rainfall. Regions like UP, Haryana, Punjab and Delhi are facing summers in its extreme face where it's declared that only 93% rains will be there as compared to last year. I heard from my friends and loved ones that there are 8-10 hrs power cut and no rains. Certain state governments have urged to their citizens to not to use ACs in the workplace and at home so that power can be made available to all. I'm not interested in telling you any weather forecast for entire India. But the same conditions i faced till last year when i was vigorously gearing up for CAT.

So i want to pray to God for rains in entire India since my friends and loved ones stay in those rainfall deficit regions. And above all, many homes are dependent on monsoon in thousands of villages of India. On this ocassion, i want to recall the song from Lagaan which all of us should sing "kale megha kale megha paani to barsao.bijuri ki talwar nahin boondo ke baan chalao". And for Mumbaikars there's a song from The Weather Girls "It's raining men , Hallejulah". Enjoy !!!!

:)

Fun is in getting tired....

So i'm back after a long time.but not with a bang but with a tired face.Finally i reached one of the happening B-schools of India.Really i'm not boasting just because i'm the part of it but because it's true.
So i reached Nitie on 18th morning after a tiring journey and as soon as i reached i got accomodation in the hostel room. After that i got my documents verified and came back to room because it was stated that all 1st years have to report at sports complex sharp @ 6pm for formal induction programme. I was sure that this is going to be really gruelling so i slept before that to get prepared.At 6pm we reached the venue where there were faculty and seniors.Firstly faculty members gave a nice speech which was really inspiring and motivating.After that faculty members left and then started the real fun.Seniors called some of the juniors one by one and asked them to introduce themselves and also give their USP and if they were not able to give then they were asked to do pole dance with real pole made to stand in between.It was fun. After that we played a game again which was in various groups. And finally we got free @12.30am with a assingnment to be submitted till 7am.So we as a group did the job and completed it @ 2.45am and slept @ 3.30am. In all these chain of events i was too tired but was enjoying also.
The next day we were supposed to gather at ppo road @ 7.30am. PPO road has its own story behind this name but for the time being ppo is pre placement offer.Then we had attendance and we were taken for a campus tour which was again fun.After that we gathered @ 10am in sports complex and where faculty members had planned a whole day schedule for us.It was like we were suppose to present a skit,play,song etc. anything on managerial traits.We were divided into groups of 30 and it went till the evening. First time i too participated in a skit though forcefully.But i enjoyed each moment.After all the performances best performance was declared by the faculty and was awarded perk chocolates.And we got shocked when our group was declared the winner.Don't know how it happened.But finally "jo jeeta wohi hi sikandar".Then we had a break and we came back @ 6pm for another round of gruelling fun process.
This time there were seniors who asked us to present a play or skit depending upon the topics given which contained bit double meanings.So here also each group showed their extent of thinking in deriving double meanings.But here i was not in winning team :(
At around 10pm we were asked to play another game which again lasted for around 2 hours.Finally we left @ 12am from whole day of fun and frolic with a case study assignment and till now i'm free thats why i got time for blogging .But whole agenda behind this induction programme is to know each other in the batch.So i should leave now for next gruelling session in the afternoon.But i'm sure that these 2 years of mba @ NITIE are going to be big fun.........

Silsila and KANK

On last official day of our college Panks gifted me two movies KANK which is my favourite and silsila which is also a nice movie. I watched them again at home with my family since they were gifted by best friend :).

KANK and silsila share the same story with different base. In KANK, a post marital affair happens between dev(srk) and maya(rani m) due to some misunderstanding with thier respective partners. When rhea(priety z) and rishi(abhishek B) come to know about their affair, they just break the marriage and then dev and maya unknowingly live apart. But in the end they both get reunited by the help of rhea and rishi.

Well, in silsila Amit(AB) marries shobha(jaya B) after his brother's(shashi kapoor) death. This happens because shobha gets pregnant due to his brother and to save her's name in the society. But after marriage, Amit encounters his early love chandni(rekha) and then starts their post marital relationship.

KANK is mainly about the non tolerance of victims of post marital affair and how they leave the culprits to solitude as their punishment. But in silsila, a silent and charming wife shobha tolerates betrayal of his husband thinking his true love will return back to her.

KANK also gives a message "Love doesn't care about any barriers" as AB in the movie says "maut aur mohabbat dono bin bulaye mehmaan hai, wo kisi ka saath nahi chhodte". And also AB's another dialogue in which he says "waqt ka matlab hota hai ab.pyar karna hai to ab.mafi maangna hai to ab.haath pakadna hai to ab.varna barso baad tum meri tarah hi kisi party mei apne khoye hue pyar se maafi mangte nazar aaonge". I really love these two dialogues.

I really love KANK all because of its story, music, dialogues and above all my favourite star SRK. But I can't Figure out why people don't like KANK. But i Love it and panks too :).

Delhi was fun.now it's Mumbai's turn...

So this is my final post being in Delhi for now. First of all cheers to Delhi which gave me my career. Well, my 4 years in Delhi are over and finally I’ll be going Mumbai. I know this is not the end of my Delhi days because i may get a job in Delhi but I’m still sad since I’m in love with Delhi. Sometimes I sing that song from delhi-6 “yeh delhi hai mere yaar, bas ishq mohabbat pyar” and I think that it's true with me.

Another reason due to which I love Delhi is that it’s close to my home place. Had real fun in all these 4 years. Whether it is ansal plaza or city square mall; cp or dwarka sec4,6; iitd’s rendezvous or LHMC fest; India gate or lajpat nagar; new delhi station or airport; dc or pitampura; and at last but not atleast NSIT or DCE; had masti everywhere. Well, I’m not trying to show that I know each and every corner of Delhi but I did nothing in these 4 years except roaming here and there.

But since I’m going now it’s like leaving my home place. But at the same time I’m happy too that I’m going another nice place- Mumbai or bollywood or mayanagri (as S said today in lab). I’m really excited. I have big plans for Mumbai but also I’m worried thinking that I’ll be very far from my mom n dad and my frens. But can’t help it. Kuch paane ke liye kuch khona to padta hi hai.

Delhi was real fun and let’s see what Mumbai offers me. I know this post is getting really boring so I should quit.....but Delhi rocks !!!

Kahani khatam, feeling sad but finally engineers....

So again I’m writing another gloomy post. Actually today was the last official day of college for us. We had our major project ppt and after that we went to have party for mine and my classmate’s B-school admission. It was fun and I took pics with all my frens , but P went bit earlier by his fake excuses (want to kill him).

Still can’t forget those counselling days when I use to catch 4’o clock train from my city to reach here at 9 and go back by 9’o clock train in the night with dad. Then finally got BT in DCE and mom and dad came with me on first day of college and when they left mom cried, since I’m mama’s boy. Then started that chain of wonderful events which I still miss, that masti and all. In jan, 06 I came in NSIT and then started a new path to my destination with new frens, new college and new masti. Still can’t forget those parties with frens, mess’s worst food, P ke saath fights and then cold war, fest mei masti, frequent visits to DCE, then came gre and cat days with lot of hard work, hostel ke gossips, lover’s lane, hostel farewell, job party and what not. There are lot of events which I didn’t mention since I thought it’s getting boring for you.

Actually I’m really in pain since college is coming to an end because this college gave me the zeal to do work hard, to be more focussed and after all my destination. I really love this college and going to miss it very badly. And not only college but the entire fren circle of mine. I really don’t know when I will be meeting them because i’ll be in Mumbai, D in gurgaon, S in noida, H in Chennai, V in US and P in delhi. I want to keep all my frens by my side and hug them so tightly so that they can’t go. Still want to have endless gossips with them. But I think good things come to an end early. Actually once our school teacher told us that school days are the golden days and they are never repeated. But today I want to add that college days too are the golden days and will never ever be repeated. Finally, I’m proud engineer of NSIT.

I know it was really boring post as usual but was not able to stop myself to frame these gloomy thoughts into words. Will miss you DCE and NSIT....somebody please bring back my 4 golden years of life. 

Are failures the pillars of success ?

I have a fren and looking at him, i really wonder that are failures the pillars of success? Actually he is not able to do well in anything he tries. This is not because he is not good or lacks any kind of aptitude but he has accepted that he will not be able to do it. I will not say that he was the same since his childhood but he became like that in his graduation. In fact, he was very good in his school days and also got very good rank in the entrance exam for graduation. But he opted for the subjects which are considered to be the last option. He explains that he was getting various good subjects but didn’t opt for them thinking he will not be able to do well in them.

I really don’t know what went wrong with him that it completely transformed his personality. In the final year of your graduation when everyone is expected to be highly mature and responsible, he stands out from the crowd. There may be failures in his life but the best way to tackle them is to fight back. But it seems he has accepted them as his fate. He even sometimes praises me saying that I’m too good and i am completely speechless thinking how I should make him understand that he too is equally good. Only effort required is to change his perceptions about life and failures and be confident. I explained him many times about my own failures and how I faced them (actually panks made me realise that i am very brave in facing life, thanx panks). But he sticks to his own pessimistic notions.

After staying with him for a long time I realised that no doubt failures are the pillars of success but if failures exceed a certain limit as in his case, then really they can make the victim stagnant. It’s really not easy to face that horrible chain of failures. But it’s not impossible too since it's  rightly said “if you have never failed, you have never lived”. 

What matters: JOURNEY or DESTINATION?

From past few days I was in a dilemma.  Actually I got admission in a B-school(N) which is not an IIM L.So what I thought was to drop this year and give CAT again to get into an IIM. I thought this not because N is not good. But because most of my frens like P,A,R and panks will get into an IIM next year surely. So it created a feeling of inferiority in me that next year I may feel bad. But yes I want to clear that I will not at all be jealous of my frens because they are really good and deserve to be in an IIM.

I think what matters is the position which you get after you complete your education and not the name of the school or college or the university. It’s true that if you are from a good college or school then it matters. But if you can still prove yourself being in a school or a college of moderate level, then it’s really worth because then nobody asks you how you managed to be at that position because it’s your own calibre and potential that matters. There are so many people in good educational institutions and are not able to reach upto that level which is expected from them.

Actually these were the cerebrations which came into my mind. After all, my frens, parents and seniors also gave me the same advice i.e. to join N and I accepted it. Some of the people may think about me that I have accepted “angoor khatte hai” .But what I think is that the DESTINATION matters more than the JOURNEY. I don’t say that journey is not at all important but in the end destination is praised J.

Relationship: live it or leave it

So finally i’m writing my first post on my blog. its about relationships. well,i was inspired from the movie KANK to write this post. there are various relationships. but my focus is on the beautiful relation dat exists between a boy n a girl or between a man n a woman. Its love affair or marriage. any person can handle the bright side of this relation. But what about the dark side. Sometimes i wonder dat why u feel neglected in a relationship? why u still feel alone when u r in a crowd? why ur parter appears to be a headache n someone else a charm? and why u cross all boundaries which are not meant to be crossed?

I found myself in a confused situation to answer these questions. but ,later on realised that its absence of luv or understanding which can lead to such worst circumstances. After all, there is a respect in a relationship for each other.when this respect is lost, its not worth to stay in such a relationship. but when the same luv you find in a third person, u feel on the top of the world. u r just dragged towards him/her without thinking dat u r betraying someone.in place of betraying,its better to leave the relation cos every relation demands commitment and no one is a slave to bear betrayal’s tears.

But apart from betrayal, there is also another remedy to this. you can always sort out. i think this is the toughest thing to do cos it requires valour n u have to fight ur ego, pride, anger etc. for this. i always feel how can u break a relation which was started with such a gr8 bond of luv,understanding and respect? how can u forget those wonderful moments spent with ur partner? How can discard those memorable belongings of ur partner? Why can’t u give ur best to save the drowning relationship? but these steps can work out if u still feel something for her/him. this something can be care for him/her. i feel it is easy to start and easy to end but very difficult to start once its ended. but still if u r unable to tie up, then strictly leave it n move forward with never looking back.

After all , a relationship is meant to be lived and if u cant then just leave it !!!
