the oblivion, the knee ,and the boredom

Sitting at my room E 220 in the hostel when everyone else is gone for freshers party thrown for my juniors I realised that I have a blog where I used to write.

So a knee ligament tear bring me on Bed and I who used to spend 3 hrs a day on field n nthr 2 out of campus has straight 3 days on bed and dont know how many more to come

So cricket which has brought me lots of joy, this time brings some pain.. actually its me who has brought it on himself, God gave me hints loads of them 3 injuries on my both legs but I played footie, cricket n wht not so this was waiting to happen.

So its Day 3 of me on my bed..

Day 1

6 hrs n hospital and I came back with knee brace 2 ligament tears( hopefully minor ones and with me there was DOC( Tejas, One gr8 frnd of mine who is DOC and doing MBA, any one who gets hurt in our coleege First thr thr is DOC for him ;-) and thn hospital) and whom I made work hard with he taking my wheel chair all around :P
Had MRI its a strange machine where u are put in a round machine which makes quite a lot of noice of and u are being asked to not make a skightest movement in ur being scanned bodypart(In my case knee) for 25 mins, How cud I do that I had lost lots of bets in these situation even whn time limit was 25 secs ;-)
So I came bak and thr were frnds asking y well being. Hostel is second nice place to be on bed after home. you feel like Home after home..attended a class in night odrwise wud have got a grade cut( 1st person to attend class in shorts and with legs rested like a bed..
So overall enjoyable 1st day but with some pain ;-)

Day 2

Started with a class at 9 am and a Bplan pesentation and a class at 3:30 and since last night I had got my extended hands also Crutches.. :))so life was more easy and I was also adapting to moving on 1 leg.. watched two movies Truman show and man who knew too little.. amazing movies really.. watched some footie n cricket..think Lappi becomes your best friend in these situations ;-)

Day 3

wake up at 8 had my brkfast and slept again at 9 arnd 11 wake up again and talked to frnds for an hr.. no movies till now was getting bored today as I am nt a movie man niethe I am Indoor man so obivously feeling bored :(

Now everyone has gone out and I am sitting here so realised to use this time for sthng better so started the blog back
Hope to continue it later

:-)

PS : I wud always miss nt playing for my college last time I missed because of classes n dis time because of injury :(

So DADA bids adieu

The man who changed the face of Indian cricket, God of all OFF side things, comeback Man, or whatever we call him, whether we love him or hate him but he is the man who changed the face of indian cricket along with others. He lead from the front, he made the world realise that India has arrived.

I am not going to talk about how great he was as it just doesnt make sense for me to even talk about the greatness he achieved.

DADA we will always remember you

Are you thinking on this line

I dont know what I am going to write in this blog writing will make sense to you but wud suggest u all to read this once and comment

I was thinking to write an entry for long time but think the blog was waiting for this one..
I was having a discussion abt how to solve a problem..any problem which you, me society, country or humanity faces..

reached to a simple solution.. find the root cause and hit it..

but do we have a will to hit that root cause...
what do you think is the root cause of problem of corruption in India..

1. politicians
2. Rotten system
3. or we the people, the society

I would go for we the people of this country.. how many time do you think you have given a bribe..even 20 rs to traffic police..I have given it many time and othr time I have called someone higher up to tell those constables to not to do their duty..
and I dont want to make a statement abt you..

so is the root cause tht bribe or not..some of us may argue, no if I have not given that bribe we would have got late or was nt a fault of mine..etc etc.. so why didnt we pay the fine...
as why dont we pay Income tax, or any othr thing..
why dont we forget wwht othrs arnd u r doing and just concentrate wht we have to do..

I know its very difficult nxt to impossible...and even when I am writing this I dont know whether it is possible for me to do it...I wud try it..dnt know whether i would succeed..but one thing 4 sure, I have stopped criticising govt. (for every pity thing they do, we criticise them and thn forget tht)..since we elect govt and no one else..yeah they are answerable to us..but really tell me how many time we have asked questions to this system????? havenot we taken this system for granted..who made this system?? have we stopped questioning??

Really I hate these question coming to my mind, it think tht why I cant simply live like I have been living..but thn dnt know I just cant get away with it...

I know.. i too lack the will to do it therefore looking to all of you for support or points tht chnge my mind..its quite possible that u also have been pondering over this same question long..is this we all want to do but cannot do because we are alone..can we have a forum..can we do this...??

Home Sweet Home

So my 1 term of 2 year of MBA gets over and now only 6 months are left in this beautiful and amazing campus of IIM Indore.
Now going home for rejuvenating for 2 more terms where more subjects more nightouts more mess bakar more biking trips more life....

cant wait to go home now but cant wait to come back too...:)

just like that

I am ill i want to sleep but sleep is betraying me. why it betrays you when you want it most. why it comes to you when you are in class listening to prof. ohh sorry definitely not listening when ur sleeping. I never understand why I never taped lectures of profs.. so that I cn sleep at room too.. ohh mobile is not allowed..but we carry it so why not record... ohh who wants to sleep listening to them please is it not enough tht we listen to them in class.. but why some prof don't make you sleep.. think they must have slept in classes or is it that everyone slept but they remember what made them slept but they are also unable to stop students from sleeping...some students dont slleep in any class as they have to sit in first 3 benches but some slleep even though they dont want to as last bench provides conducive envioronment for sleeping..
you write this type of blog entry when you want to sleep but cant sleep but 1 of my friends said that your mind is like a tv and u hve the remote.. just change the channel..so I am putting it into sleep mode now..lets see does remote work ??

finding reasons to be happy

I am really happy today why I dont know this is the happiness I am looking for happy without reason.. Have anyone of you felt like this anytime when you felt certain emotions without being logical about it. Today , I am facing one such emotion I am happy without realising the why and more important is without asking also ..i dont want to know the reason of happiness I just want to be happy ::))))

once upon the time thr lived a person who had so much ego that you would not like talking to him at any moment. he would never understood you but will only say his voice. he would always try to demean you.. he would think that he is the best in whatever he do. he never realised what he spoke does not made any sense most of the time . he never realised that he was one of the most hated person around. he would always believe he is the best, actually I think it was right thinking like that if he really was but he really was nt. he believed that everyone should work according to him and really he was one of the worst person I have ever met.
but when i came to know him from close I realised he was not that bad, it was just that he required someone to love him truly. whatever he loved went away frm him.. be the game he loved , be the insti he wanted, be the friend, be the girl he loved or be nything........and thn he tried to show that he was nt affected by it all.. was it true can it happen ,was he not human .. he was or wasnt does not hold any value, the only thing hold value is how bad he i noww.....

He is.........

the unsuccesful

So wht he is unsuccesful so wht he is nt educated so wht he is not a investment banker so wht he is not a analyst so wht he is not a star sportsman or we thing like so wht he is a common man .. does he didnt deserve a place anywhere or why no one of us aspire to be a common man..would anyone of us will like our hildren to become a common man .. comeon a common man..wht he is ..he is powerless he is just there to fill the society he is just there to die in the bomb blasts so wht 95% of world population is a common man.. so wht so why I am writing this ..because I am fad up of this all this arnd me ..I cant cope up with pressures ny more.. but no one arnd me wud support me for this and there expectations are going to increase and i know I too expect many things frm myself but are they my aspirations or others tht I dont know
hope one day wud come when someone among us wud aspire to be a Common Man..r u listening .............

I am a type of person who sometimes do strange things I would chat with a person on net like he/she is like one of the best friend and this is more true if the person is a girl, but when they come to face to face its like I am not able to start the chat. this happens with me with not a newcomer but a person I know for a long time. its like certainly I dont found what to talk.
Just building on this theory I am able to connect the success of net. I think we are more comfortable in talking if the other person is not seeing us( and also we are not seeing him/her) as he cant see the nervousness and body language and this has led to huge growth in internet friendship and it is becoming easer for persons to dump their emotions on net rather than sitting in front of someone


PS: I am certain that this theory must have been found before the net was invented but I found it today

what to do

just a small incident that just happened to me.. My father has a flight from jaipur to kolkatta on 15 june from kingfisher airlinesand than he had to take a flight from kolkata to Bangkok after 2 hrs.. we reached Jaipur Airport at around 1 Hr before the flight was scheduled to leave. thn what we were told was that the flight was cancelled from 1 june ..and the beauty of thing was tht they did not bother to inform me .. i had taken a online ticket from kingfishers site and the had my mobile no my mail id and also my home address and they were not able to inform me..and this all was told to us by a beautiful smiling airhostess like it was a gr8 news for us ..they did not also put any efforts to help my father reach bangkok and proudly said tht wht do you wnat more.. we ar giving you full ticket refund..

Here by writing this I do not intend to say that Kingfisher is a bad airlines or anything on basis of one incident I just want to say tht why Indian companies does not take each customer seriously.. and wht is our responsibilities as customer if such things happens..? I wud like all yor views

Amazing Summers of 2008

Last 1 month of my life has been really amazing. In the sense that I got a look at corporate world (working in a 2800 cr company in revenues) although not that large but was sufficient enough for me to know how the corporate world perform (does it remains the question??). It helped me in finalizing what I have to do after MBA.. some other day I wud write about this also but for now I would focus on three persons I met during this month, one was new and two were new in the sense the perspective has changed. These three persons all can be put in top .1% of brains I have ever met understood or met.

So the new one first.. My colleague as a summer trainee, the person is truly amazing.. He is a person with intelligence and brains. Moreover he believes in working hard and getting things done.. I myself was a little bit of an investor (changed to little bit after I met him ) but he is amazing..his knowledge is like it has no bounds..and its not like this that he is a nerd.. I never like those ..but he is like a perfectly planned person who knows where he wants to go and how to reach there.. and not only this he knows how to njoi and chill out.. like every extraordinary person he also thinks that everyone is as intelligent and efficient as he is but, its nt possible my dear friend.. even god has not made us like that..;-)

Now coming to second one..he is like innovativeness at his best his idea is going to change a significant thing in this country..if got implemented you would yourself see. I knew him for last 7 years and always knew tht he wud make it big..but this new innovative concept has really startled me..

Third person I came to know more as I lived for last month with him.. he is truly gem and one of the person who is a true professional.. he knows his subject to the core and has revived companies after companies .. even made money out of the great Indian trader..name u all know..he is like real gem his thinking is clear ..he left a 5mn rs. Job just because he was not satisified with the work out thr..

Here I am not saying that these three peoples are species that cannot be found but really these are rare species and you come across 1-2 in life but I me them in 1 month..and than these three people I am talking about presently are common Indians abt whom no one knows.. and that makes this more special

I have met many people who might be more intelligent but what separates these guys is that they have goals in life defined and they work on their on terms.
Its like they live their life their way and life don’t dictate terms for them..



PS Don’t be oveawe by this writing..these all are great people in eye of writer so…imagine

Amazing Summers of 2008 ( mumbai Local n More)

The Mumbai Saga

Hey All

I have been working in Mumbai for last three weeks and would like to tell you my experiences about the city, the financial capital of India, the first working day would be better to start with. I reached the office after missing a local which went from front of my eyes, it came stopped and went and I was like how could I get in and in front of me 5 persons got in ..so the journey began oops just missed.. I decided to get into next local in any case and my surprise if u decide it u will get into its different tht only half of my foot got in.. :-) so I am here 8:51 in the local with 40 mins to go on foot and half..after sometime I found me in how I don’t know.. the middle was like hell u cant move even an inch and I cant explain (btw this was first class for you)..
So I reach office at 10:15 my office strts at 9..first day waited for meeting for an hour n half discuss the project and etc..someone need detail will So I reach office at 10:15 my office strts at 9..first day waited for meeting for an hour n half discuss the project and etc..someone need detail will tell personally..

Coming to Mumbai next week told me why the hell people lives here.. I got home tired as hell so it was like tht sleep getup office home sleep…

The life looked like hell.. even though mine is comfortable ..living with sister nothing to worry abt daily chores..but I think why anyone live here..

But I decided to njoy whatever time I was here.. went arnd malls..sea face ate out ..pubs n discs r still missing..I am now enjoying Mumbai..even local trains (can afford to as its just 25 more days for me) njoi the fighting goes on there..like ‘main tujhe neeche faink doonga’ ‘kahan se aaye ho aadmi to nahin lagte’ n many more..

I even managed to carry popcorn in thee local n enjoied it it was difficult but really awesome..i am listening to music..thnx to local trains 1 hr daily..

Waise mumbai me kahin bhi jao life seems like a LOCAL TRAIN..

stanlone alone

so we r in summers now

so summers start for us at iim

What is summers..it is an intro to us mba's to the corporate world by putting us in the company in which we got selected after a rigourous process n struggle that was more compeititive thn the finals..

So we are into in n am at mumbai with nearly 50 more interns struglling with travelling n accomdation probs working on various proj.. Think this is wht gel us more this summers wud bring us closer thts wht i hope

Lets see wht happens ;-

hopes remain unfulfilled

I came to IIM with an hope of mutual transfer of knowledge with those around me. the system of IIm's since we are flooded with assignments never actually allow us to work in a group its always divide the work and group..

So some of us decided to start a group and I took the lead. My plan for the groups were too big, in the hindsight, but I did a mistake I never took the views of my group members. it was always about me I think and when this happens you know the results are. Today I have left the group as I have understood the preferences are different. As a souveneir of one more unsuccesful attempt of doing something I would write here in the blog about the group

Firstly I thought I would introduce the whole group but now I think I would go with a group introdn

The group was lively no doubt about that, each member was brilliant and filled with ideas and contributed immensely to the group but slowly the spirit died or as I can see the IIM won again. the workload took its toll those who have promised to themselves to be different were taken y the river of exams and flurry of assignments. the post were getting vacant slowly like in the case of Lord of the rings( alas here no one came to help) as leader himself was full of attitude and did not foresee what was coming. he remained too much preoccupied in himself wanted everyone to work according to his prerogative. He was insensitive and did not understood others reasons. result can be foreseen by a child it was crystal clear as a result of a deer in front of cheetah the group slowly died members leaving the group.
Now situation has come to a level where if group is not dis bundled than the problem might result in some issues among group member. I know that therefore will allow to die a slow painful death as I cant see any other path.

Today I am sad, angry and exasperated and what not. I would always remember "Sector Analysts"

Hey it was gr8 working with all the group members an immensely talented pool of individuals with whom I might not get a chance to work much now as the "SECRET SOCIETY" has ended. the fun and enjoyment was immense it was really gr8.

Hope it never ended............................................................

living two hours just for myself

Have you ever be alone... roaming without purpose alone in a shopping mall with weekend crowd..if you have you will endorse my view its quite different actually would say its enthralling.. and it gets better when you are there just there and not thinking about anything...I have never lived better two hrs alone just letting my thoughts pass through my mind and not lingering on them.. i wud love to pass next weekend like this alone and aloof and not thinking.

the story is becoming more interesting. a study group I have formed is on verge of being dismantling I have been chosen as MF coordinator and has taken my first responsibility in the college. So now I have challenges of making that group work again and making MF a learning center.

The club of booming enterpreneur..is my aim now
