2010-01-08T09:05:00.003+05:30

In the morning when I woke up I found sth unusual, no sunshine nthng at all..only fog fog n fog..and I tht why should I not go up and click some fog Pics.When I went up I realised It was worth while coming 2 storeys..I cudnt see the trees at garden just across 40 feets(15 mtrs approx) than I tried some pics with my mobile camera ( damn for this moment I think people buys slr and stuff). Overall It was great. I message few friend in case they were missing this.
I was not going to write this in a blog, nthng specific just the thought didnt cross my mind.. I guess in facebook we have found a better alternative.. But an anonymous post email encouraged me in writing this one..Thnk you Mr/Ms. Anonymous

I just felt I have to write..I am avoiding this for its like 3 months I have not written it..Life has changed..I have my office opened..n as nyone can imagine it wasnt a perfect strt.. MY life iss getting complicated with so many things to think about..

Nowdays I feel myself looking down the road, like whether I am doing is rght..whether the struggle I chose is worth it..whether I wud come out of it alright..and suddenly I shirk away these thought and think atleast I am in a struggle because I wanted it n nt anyone else..I am in difficulty but at least path is mine..

These thought war which I call them are getting more n more pronounced as time goes on..I guess I had my share of success and nw its time i also get a tough ride..
will hold on till I dont fall..will hold on till i dont fall..

The Office

2009-07-18T00:53:00.002+05:30

Last time when I stopped I had the place and I had to turn it into an office..and it took me arnd 15 days to do so..hve been a little slow..but yeah again learnt a quite a bit in these days..specifically abt the hard work ;-)..
Designing, mediating, media, decision making..hmm wht not have I done in these few days..
Just an incident of multitasking..I was sitting with my friend and was working on Board designs and was on Gtalk with two others disussing abt pamphlet content and giving another an update on wht is going on..n nthr frnd calls up n reminds me tht I had to send him some mail..tht looks exciting but..

SO do u need to multitask.. I think its totally depends on you.. if u r quick decision maker,if you have prepare yourself well and believe in yourself u normally wud.
Why I am telling you all this..
Prepare yourself well in the morning abt wht u are going to do in day..( it helps as uncertainity always strikes whn u r certain it wudnt :)

Dnt have an attitude of postponing things..it Costs dearly..

What ever happens dnt stop believing yourself :)

So the office is up with all partitions, furnitures, boards.. pamphlets, visiting card, LH's are in printing..Hmm its coming n I m getting scary..
So Monday is the day I am waiting for the day when the office opens after a small marketing campaign of pamphlets..with boards up on the office..m waiting..

Self empoyment

2009-07-03T21:20:00.002+05:30

the work starts now..its fun to be all by yourself and take decisions all by yours..loving it

This is what I have been feeling for sometime now. As Andy told that we hear successful stories of entrepreneurship not the process I will try and elaborate on the process with my limited writing capabilities.
As I write now, my Landlord has delayed the work by 5 days but this happens..

So I stopped my last blog where I was going to find the place and talk to the landlord. Believe me when we go to the ground level the negotiation begins the most useful art to possess. I am not really good at it but I have learnt it after talking to innumerable guys about innumerable thing.
Some points I learnt

1. be clear about what you going to lose from the deal. Sometime it Just could be time but better is to monetize the time.
I did lose a month or more and a great publicity time by a single mistake of mine and some lethargy in April.

2. Know what you want and get it written as mind falters at the wrong times :P

SO keep these basic points in mind before negotiating..and believe me the other person is indefinitely a better negotiator than you when you are starting :-)

Now after gyan I come to the point ;-)

I got the place finally and really now I think April was not a mistake ( when you try and achieve your destiny whole world helps you) so I got a gr8 place at gr8 location and gr8 rent

Now after the place its about the launch which we are preparing ( we because their are so many friends who are helping me and they really are taking their time out from their work fom me.. I am really thankful to all of you guys)SO its all about the office layout, furniture, marketing, finance, operations and any function you can think of in life.
I have learnt so much in these few days.. believe me if an entrepreneur someday comes for a job to you( hope it never happens) Just give him a job. he will really prove to be an asset for your company.

One important thing before you decide to into entrepreneurship.

Make a B Plan specifically a financial plan and than make a 30% addition in time and money as u never know the reality( Am really struggling)

Hope you had a good reading. Please comment if you by chance read this and comment so that I can improve..as I really want that some one starting gets a little help from this

2009-06-08T12:30:00.003+05:30

I just wanted to share my feelings of how being an enterpreneur feels like...
Hope you all like it :)

Just a brief history
So I am out of Bschool.. and I decided to take entreprenurship instead of taking a job..
Doing a Job would have been a really difficult task for me..this I learnt in arnd 3 years of training in various course I did. I had an experience of doing business. My Father started his own at age of 45 and when I was 15..I do helped him and than I too started of my own after my PG degree..did it for three years and than get into MBA stuff:)

So I was planning to start up through my MBA college..you know its a different feeling to work for only fo yourself..u dont work actually u enjoy working..you dnt think for how many hours you have worked or you dnt feel tht u missed a cricket match:)
During this period there are times where I felt very down ...and my self belief has gone but really always it happened that I got a call frm 1 of my friend and it helped.
I will never ever forget the help (moral and help with ideas) that my fiends have given me even when they are so busy with their lives..

I just plan to carry on this series and go more deeper into practical reality and update it as soon it is possible for me.. and if I can help any aspiring enterpreneur through this..it will be great..

Today I am going to look for 2 places for the office lets see how it goes :)

Just thought to put it on

सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है
- By Ram Prasad Bismil

सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है,
देखना है जोर कितना बाजुए कातिल में है ।

करता नहीं क्यों दुसरा कुछ बातचीत,
देखता हूँ मैं जिसे वो चुप तेरी महफिल मैं है ।

रहबर राहे मौहब्बत रह न जाना राह में
लज्जत-ऐ-सेहरा नवर्दी दूरिये-मंजिल में है ।

यों खड़ा मौकतल में कातिल कह रहा है बार-बार
क्या तमन्ना-ए-शहादत भी किसी के दिल में है ।

ऐ शहीदे-मुल्को-मिल्लत मैं तेरे ऊपर निसार
अब तेरी हिम्मत का चर्चा ग़ैर की महफिल में है ।

वक्त आने दे बता देंगे तुझे ऐ आसमां,
हम अभी से क्या बतायें क्या हमारे दिल में है ।

खींच कर लाई है सब को कत्ल होने की उम्मींद,
आशिकों का जमघट आज कूंचे-ऐ-कातिल में है ।

सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है,
देखना है जोर कितना बाजुए कातिल में है ।
रहबर - Guide
लज्जत - tasteful
नवर्दी - Battle
मौकतल - Place Where Executions Take Place, Place of Killing

is recession over ( Series 1)

2009-05-19T21:29:00.004+05:30

On monday stock market makes history. It does what it has never done..within 20 seconds trading day was over..ohh as an investor I am happy my stock is 25% up and next day it does not loose the gains of monday. so it strenthens.

This event needed an analysis both from stock market point of view and fundamental point of view..this thought came into an unstable mindof mine tht just loves finance n Economics to the core..( if i did nt like enterprenurship the way I like it now..i Wud have been somewhere analysing this for earning bread n butter..nyways)and than I thought why n analyse it as a blog..so I decided to put my try to this blogger world( too much of a prologue I think ;-)

So firstly just trying to differ fundamentals and stock market point of view.. Fundamentals includes Corporate results and general Economic envioronment of the country and
Stc. Mkt point of view includes How does stc behaves( what drives market). Some Imp points include
1. Money Flow
2. Investment scenario ( political stability is one of the criterial)
3. FII's Investment
4. Speculative drive ( this.. yeah this made the Asian tigers crash in 1998's)
I have excluded fundamentals here..wait for tomoro for the reason n further analysis..

PS: Its in series so tht u guys dont get bore while reading..actully feeling sleepy ;-)..waise kya koi padhne bhi wala hain isse :P

I just found who I am

2009-05-15T23:00:00.002+05:30

I just heard a line on TV sapne woh nahin hote jo neendo me aate hain sapne woh hote hain jo neend bhaga dete hain..or those are not dreams that comes while you sleep instead dreams are those which takes your dream away..

So I thought what is my dream and I realised I have no such dream..this all nonsense of me becoming an enterpreneur is stupid..this is just running away from myself, the true me who is afraid of his inability to succeed..who things he cannot survive in corporate world so why even try..only thing which gives me kick in life is thinking and talking..giving someone else advise that I didnt follow, thing tht should be done tht I have never done.. i am fed up of expectation around me, nt frm others but my false expectations frm myself..when I know I cant do that why do I try to show tht I can do tht..
I have no goal in life just keep on doing what I am doing trying to be happy in whatever I do..yeah I am happy relaxed looking person but is I really happy..no one can be happy If he tells such lies to himself..I am not satisified with what I have done but try n say to myself its ok you dnt want much..I want more..I want tht has never been achieved..I want to be a superhuman..but yeah I dnt work for tht so basically I just think n dream..
I want to achieve a lot and let someone else do it for me..this is a bad situation to be in and I am in this..I will like to get out of it..
so what I can do( first thought in my mind comes is bring your goals to a achievable level) so my mind ditches me It cannot fight my body or is it that I cannot fight my mind.. this is all in my mind..My lethargy n everything else..or is it I am not made for all this.. I am made for living an ordinary life..
Even my dreams of becoming a CA and after tht an IIM alumni did not gave me sleepless nights.. one time I cud nt sleep is when it was for playing cricket.. i cud have played it anytime day or night or when the temprature was 45 or 5 or where players were 0 or 11..when it was night or day I didnt care so was tht my dream..
I believe in Karma but do not perform it..I need a drive in life that can make my night sleepless I dont want to sleep now.. I have slept enough.. I want to get up in life and achieve something now..
Adrenaline has allowed me to post this on web quite possible it becomes for my own consumption ..

2009-05-12T22:49:00.003+05:30

Why I am not focussed..Why I am running from Myself.. Why when I want to enjoy life in different manner I am living it like any other person.why I am araid of failiure when I was never before..where is my energy gone..Why I am not coming back to what I used to be..why I have stopped thinking while walking when everyone else got irritated .. why I have stopped going out..drinking coffee.. even stopped trying to flirt .. why I am afraid of no again.. why I am not confident enough.. Why I am not critical enough and becoming more of a politically correct person..where is my stupidity gone
Is this the reality tht has struck my flight towards dream.. or I am finaaly maturing losing my child like energy and believes.. when I used to not think before doing something or is it I am afraid now that my type of life dont exists..
dont know and dont want to know eiether..only thing I want is to get back to tht naughty stupid energetic Prashant..Come on u can do it dude

Print media world

2009-04-21T10:14:00.002+05:30

I am shifting back to jaipur and this shifting has cut me from internet and TV now for 22 days exact...so my only source of INFN is print media and I am getting a good dose of it including Hindu TOI and Biz line. ..sometimes it feels good to not be in thick of action and read news after it has happened as it stops taking u some unwise moves or comments but sometimes it bewcomes frustating and on top of it I too dont have my Laptop for now...ooppphhhh its boring but think its more productive..Hope to get back into life soon :)

terrorism and personal gain

2009-03-25T21:09:00.004+05:30

I was just reading a news article which quoted Mr. Ric Charlesworth that subcontinent has changed since 1980 when he played hockey professionally in Pakistan.
He thinks that Commonwealth games and hockey world cup next year may be Jeopardised because of security concerns.
Australia did not send the hockey teams to India because of Mumbai attack and he goes on to say that he left the job on mentor to Indian hockey also because of security reasons.
He just forgot to mention the reason at that time, on the contrary he said it was all due to IHF fault and we all agreed with him as he was a foreigner which we think are superior..so he remebers this now after a year..
I dont say India is safe or Pakistan is or everyone should sshow solidarity to India but I say this why to take out personal grunt on this matter Mr. Ric Charlesworth.. I admired you as a strategist but now I am sorry to say you have lost respect in my eyes and I think in eyes of many other Indian fans..

the comedy show

2009-03-25T20:27:00.002+05:30

In Bangkok one thing which I have with me is free time and because of this number of saas bahu serials I have watched in last 10 days far exceeds whole no I have watched in my life time. But believe me these serials are changing..the shadyantras and saajishs are giving way to a mix of normal life serials but this is not about saas bahu aur saajish :P this is about a very important thing for us all Indians( elections) and I think whole world is also waiting for the outcome..
So while watching these serials I sometime switch on the news channels also and in tht by luck I saw a pannel discussion. Actually everytime I open any news channel the news out thr gives me enormous confidence that If I failed as an enterpreneur I have Indian news channels as my backing :P
any way the news was that Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta will do campaign for congress..
As a management graduate I was thinking what a great move by party to attract young people..we dont have young leader so attract them with Filimi chamak dhamak.
I was amazed at the progress India has made, Now shahrukh instead of selling pepsi( ohh..its Coke its difficult yaar) is going to sell congress..nice move by party..
first Jai ho copywright and now Shahrukh and Preity.

As a young educated voter I was contemplating that what these parties thinks of us Indians fools who we will vote since Jai ho is being played or shahrukh says congress is good or BJP is good..dont we have our eyes, ears and mind of our own.
Dont our PM, Mrs Gandhi can say what Shahrukh will say..
is this our politics..Ankur you were right when you say politics in this country is going down to an unthinkable level...
I am confused for whom to vote..I see no alternatives in front of me..
Instead of waiting for someone to stand up and get counted when will I do the same..
.
.
.
.
.
this is why politics has gone down to this level

The B-School Story ends :( :)

2009-03-18T16:58:00.003+05:30

So I am going to be an MBA soon(provided that I did not fail all my last term paper and going by the records I think I should not fail any ;-))
I have left the campus beefore 15 days but did not got on internet since than as I was visiting one of the most beautiful country in the world Thailand and still I am sitting in my place at Bangkok but it is not about the visit tthat will come later its abt the B school story

its an special feeling to get a degree which youu wanted so badly and for me it will always be a dream come true. Yeah not fully but partly yeah I got what I wanted.
Many things I heard about a B school, IIM Indore made me revisit tthat.. those dreaded night outs at IIMs were missing from my life.. that different world where everyone is at his own is also missing..I found real good buddies out there at my stay..
but yeah there were classes ffull of discussions, there were mess bakar at 3 in night, badminton at 3:30.. night cricket.. football...yeah there were new initiatives ...night outs to submit assignments as u were sleepin for the whole week :P
There were guest talks..some which made you more bald..and some which made you think..ohhh can this be done or why the speaker is going to stop.

there are loads of thinks to write and I think there are several posts in which I am going to bore you all

PS: I know the post did nt make much sense but now its over :P ;-)

the oblivion, the knee ,and the boredom

2008-12-06T18:49:00.003+05:30

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 DADA bids adieu

2008-10-08T09:52:00.002+05:30

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

2008-08-28T08:30:00.004+05:30

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

2008-08-23T16:10:00.003+05:30

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

2008-07-25T01:16:00.002+05:30

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 ??

thank you all who introduce me to blog writing

finding reasons to be happy

2008-07-11T13:55:00.001+05:30

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 ::))))

2008-07-09T00:18:00.002+05:30

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

2008-06-30T22:17:00.003+05:30

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 .............

2008-06-21T13:10:00.003+05:30

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

2008-06-18T22:01:00.002+05:30

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..

Amazing Summers of 2008

2008-05-15T12:29:00.001+05:30

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

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

2008-05-04T18:53:00.000+05:30

so we r in summers now

2008-04-14T20:20:00.003+05:30

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

2008-02-10T02:20:00.001+05:30

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

2008-02-03T11:10:00.000+05:30

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

its getting quite generic now

2007-12-30T10:35:00.000+05:30

Hey now its getting too generic
Bored with exams
really now thinking to take some resolutions on new year.. again I am thinking why resolutions at new year dont work and actually u dont need resolutions to work on something

Little puzzled

I suggest take a resolution of thing that you dont want to do and if newyear theory works you might end up leaving that habit..:-)

so a coffee does the trick

2007-12-22T00:51:00.001+05:30

so i am back not to my usual self bt just a controlled usual self

a coffee alone in a cafe.. a talk with my sister and thought process over a question brings me back..
i realised its not that you have to take drastic steps but u need to take steps ....definitely friends helped me a lot..

i love the people around here they are not like what i thought wht i would be getting here. they all are lovely chaps mostly out of politics and life loving person.. i think you get what you deserve.. and i deserve them .. i love you all andy momo doc yogi sukaran cr chameli ravi jaju baccha............................ the list is long.

but word of caution if tht happens again thn.....

PS: exams are thr and thistime serious dangers of getting DCPs..hey god i am coming

AUI

How will I carry this on

2007-12-19T23:55:00.000+05:30

so i that to become a non-interactor. is it possible for guy like me to do it naturally don't know but one thing i realized ( think i know this before but again was in front of me) is that friends will be friends whatever the case may be. how andy deleted the alert that he could easily have made fun off.. is a live example of this. I don't want to run away from friends but i think i have to. I have left with no choice as such.

lets see whts thr stored in future...

Imagine the hypothesis

2007-12-19T09:19:00.000+05:30

I am feeling low actually psyched out. why?? its an illusion for me.. if any one here can help that would be great.. but can any one help ny body out is it possible in life.. or do we really help anyone.. actually this is confused same as my state of mind.
I have decided to write my life as it is going on in IIM. code words be used

So today I am feeling dull. why?? a small instance of walking out and thn the following instances. dont know what has happened but have decided to be more or less be a non- interactor.

Just now baccha came to my room. he has won first competition of his life wanted to share his joy but a cold response from me and that was intentional was what he found. i am happy tht i am successful and I know this is not right. lets see what happens and how the drama unfolds.

does it happen to you also

2007-12-17T18:19:00.000+05:30

does this happen to you too. do you feel ignored sometimes. did you feel that there is nothing worth to live for. you feel dejected and the worst person on the earth and that you are not of any value anymore that every one hates you..in turn you decide that you will change your normal self and you will not talk much you will keep your thoughts to yourself..i call this stanalone...It happens to me quite a lot so i thought whats the solution.. i decided to give one of the gandhi's talisman a try where he said whenever you are not not happy think of the poorest person you have ever came across and you will know how lucky you are.. so i decided to use it in my way whenever i dwell into this stage of roguishnesses i decide to think how many person i have ignored in my life due to any reason whatsoever and i start to feel good..i understand its not necessary that everyone will entertain you every time.. there are reasons which you cannot fathom and sometime there are no reasons but they might be in the same phase you are in..so nxt time you are in stanalone..try this out.

The luck factor

2007-10-07T00:06:00.000+05:30

Do we believe in destiny or should we believe in. the major question here is whether destiny is there or what actually is destiny. Somebody said that when preparation meets results its called luck, I agree but if that was the only case than why seemingly equally talented people get different results and than why there is not homogeneity in person passing competitive exams. reason might be its not a single set of skill that is required to pass an exam but a mix of different skills so a person might have mix of skill where he lack one or two but scores in other two. I am really confused about this, I could give several example that favor theory of luck but can be analytically proved wrong but sometime certain incidents happen when you cannot say that 'god does not play dice' or in thoughts of Einstein That God does not play dice but actually we don't know his rules, than also till we don't find his law's its the luck factor that decides the outcome sometime.. so as Bhagvat Gita says ( Wht I got it from reading it and might be absolutely wrong) just work in right direction and you will get results.. so keep working.

Life's uncertain

2007-10-03T11:19:00.000+05:30

What to say I don't know where I am heading or whether i heading toward anywhere. the life has stopped I am not able to take decisions as i know I don't have any goals, i used to think that it is not necessary but now I realize that if you don't clear priorities set up in your life you will not be able to achieve anything substantial.

I have decided to set my priorities from now on

1. keep a stock market watch
2. do exercise daily
3. write blog
4. study for 3 hrs
5. finance and case analysis are the games I will participate
6. start doing the sector analysis
