FMYLIFE

2009-04-08T11:19:00.000-07:00

Well before i start, i would suggest you visit this site www.fmylife.com to understand what fmylife means. This site is hillarious, and i have been having loads of fun reading it. Well, little did i realise that i would be soon contributing a post to this site :(.

It happened to me on one of my recent trips to delhi. One of my delhi friend happened to visit mumbai, and the trip was summed up by her in just one word "CRAPPY". I think i can sum up my recent trip to delhi as being "CRAPPY" too. The flight took off a bit earlier than scheduled, and flight captain thought it was the right time to score some brownie points "all passengers we will reach delhi before time and blaah blaah". We reached 45 minutes late...huh.

Reach delhi and the airport greets you with warnings.." If you want to be safe take prepaid taxi". Well i thought i should add to it " We cant protect you, you are on your own here-delhi police". Ok so i took a pre-paid and after travelling for 10 minutes from the airport, the driver decided to park the taxi behind a long queue at a CNG station. This was the first time ever i was cursing delhi for shifting to CNG. Delhi still does not have enough CNG stations. Anyways to my surprise the taxi driver decided against filling up the tank with CNG, and I was breathing a sigh of relief at this time. It was already midnight. Well the driver had actually just delayed his decision, and decided to park his taxi at the very next CNG station that was just a small detour according to him. It was now 12:30 midnight, i was hungry. Taxi driver decided to eat "chole kulche" while i was cursing him from inside the taxi.

12:40 am: finally we were back on road. The moment i thought that the worst was over, yippie we have a flat tyre. Cool. And we are exactly in the middle of a long stretch of road, and what more the jack does not work. WOW :D

12:50 am: One auto rickshaw in sight. I had to fight with the taxi driver to actually pay the full fare to the auto rickshaw driver. Finally, or so i thought, that i will reach home in peace.

1:00 am: Like they say "we plan, and god laughs". The auto driver had bandage on his hands. He was driving at only 10km/hr. Damn i was trying to reach home early eat dinner and sleep :(.

I asked him what happened. He told me last night he was attacked by few people with knives. Awsome :), and he was attacked somewhere near my area.

1:20 am: Auto driver tries to take a short cut, after driving for two kilometres, we find that the road is closed. I was now really angry at this guy, and now i made sure he was taking the route i wanted him to.

1:30 am: finally i reached home. A full 1.5 hours ride from airport to home (In normal traffic it takes just 45 minutes). And hey it is not over yet, auto guy was asking me for another 20 rupees as he got me home safe and sound. FMYLIFE.

Matty Mate

2009-04-08T10:19:00.000-07:00

Mate..Bring it on...attitude..muscles..well i think that was all Mathew hayden was wearing up his sleeves as he walked inside the mumbai airport. A six+ feet giant, he looked more like a wrestler than a cricketer I tell you. Yes, got a chance to see him at the mumbai airport. Contrary to what he looks like on the field, here was Haydos obliging the chai wala to get a snap clicked. One of the airport staff got a snap clicked and was running around the airport shouting " I got a snap clicked with Hayden". The other i day i saw him cooking tandoori roti on a tv show too. Well these aussies can surprise you all the time isn it ;). This was a pleasant one, i'm sure even aussies love the passion indians have for this game.Well happens, Indians are cricket crazy you see.

Yea we are :( " I couldn get my snap clicked as i was bloddy busy getting my security check done "

Attachment and detachment

2009-04-08T08:50:00.000-07:00

What drives people to commit to someone?
What makes people to cheat?
What makes people who are cheated , to make a new commitment with the cheater?

I have not found the answers to these questions, because so far i have been living in an idealistic world, where i considered that a commitment once made should not be broken.

Repeated betrayls have forced me to now beleive that appropriate strategy to deal with such cases is to ,"Not attach with anyone,stay detached.It is a good safeguard against the pain".

There is a flipside to it too, "Whats life without taking some risk,...If there is no risk there is no excitement".So if you want to have a piece of some action,stay put,dont back out. Slowly you will learn from the cheater, all the moves and you will be safe.

So crux lies in experiencing detachment, and moving back to a "Detached attachment" where yu stop feeling the pain of detachment.

A very confusing topic,i am glad i tried

New found love: salsa, guitar

2009-03-30T08:20:00.000-07:00

Love being loved by you

2009-03-28T11:46:00.001-07:00

Wipe my face

Take my hand

Middle of the night

You want a dance

Sit by my side

Same words of advice

A threat some pain

A promise, a sorry

Next day back again

Two hours to dress

An hour to reach

A sweet smile i guess

Is all you need

Smile to make

Each dream my real

What matters to you

How you make me feel

Wish i knew words

To say its true

How much I love

Being loved by you

When you are a part of me

2009-03-26T11:38:00.000-07:00

Umpteenth time you cried

Calmly I replied

Questions have stayed same

You want to hear your name

In silence of the beach

The waves that kiss your feet

You want to feel the morning rise

Wake up by my side

To hear those words again

Rush out to drench in rain

You lost your own in me

I lost the self in you

Oh how foolish I would be

To lose this part of me

For pain is all I achieve

To hurt this you in me

There was no more to see

There was no more to know

It was not the new you

But how we both would be

IPL goes global....

2009-03-22T02:33:00.000-07:00

Its official...the baap of all entertainment shows is going global. Due to security issues it will not be held in India. The bad part is that fans in India will not be able to catch their favourite players in stadium. I think IPL was creating the same fan following amongst Indians in the same way as EPL and other football leagues across world, has done for football fans across the world.

The good thing now i think is cricketers will no longer have security as a concern, not that India could not have provided security. India will also be hosting its own 5-yearly political contest, so that is going to be interesting too.

Its going to be tough this year i guess.Teams have had enough time to think over their strategies (Rahul dravid does not fit into IPL frankly, and Royal challengers have done good enough to Getting back to the teams,Sehwag and Gambhir are in amazing form and that gives Delhi daredevils a fair chance to make it to semis.Rajasthan Royals should not have much problem in reaching semis. Chennai super kings too has more support in form of flintoff in all rounder. Kolkatta Knightriders may spring up a suprise during tournament, but i still dont see them making it to semis this time. Rest of the teams, may find it tough to make a mark.

Players to watch out for: Duminy (He's the man this time according to me)

A game to bind, and leave everything behind

2009-03-18T10:05:00.000-07:00

What is the game that binds Indians? A game that can make any guy wake up 3 o clock in morning, switch on his tv, keep it on mute so as to not disturb other members who are sleeping at home..oh wait a sec..he also expects that the room where the tv has been kept is occupied by just him. You walk down the road and see hundreds looking at matrix of tv sets at an electronics store, they want to buy tv? naah..they are just catching up on the important GAME...no one wants to miss out on the action.

Walk down the road, look out for a guy with the radio..and just ask "whats the score?" no greetings, no hellos, don't worry he's still happy to respond with the score. A game that reminds of how during teens we used to wake up, and rush to the nearest ground on our bicycles early morning at 6 during summer holidays to grab the PITCH..fight over it..to ensure we had our match with , the losers opposite to our society ;) ( we made alot of money from these guys, helped our sports club quiet a lot..hey guys i'm not putting in the name here... PHARMA APARTMENTS DELHI-92...hahahaha)..Enjoyed beating engineering seniors, for sure at this game. Well Computer Science branch was good at it for sure..though we never won any of the finals which was the sad part. I can still remember going to a friends place after each semester exam, play in hot afternoon, call it a day with lemonade.(Vishal i still agree, kunal,rohit and pratik should have played atleast one game in transyamuna too ;))

Anyways, one cant imagine how much noise a room full of "would be" corporates can create, break up a few seats( gross underestimation mind you) right inside college, feel euphoric at around 2 am at night, and then realise that they have to study for the exam, which is at 9am :P

Well thats nothing, i know of students who decided to catch up on the game tv by finishing their exams well before time (read one hour early in a two hour exam ;)), and were happy to cheer for INDIA (guys you still missed out on some amazing live action ;) yes i am rubbing it in)

I mean how much TRP can a domestic tournament generate right. Well i guess one of the largest revenue spinner that the game has ever seen. For a country where it is already a religion, its no surprise that even strangers become friends when it comes to the game of CRICKET.

I just felt like writing about this game, after reading the blog of one of the new newzealand cricketer Ian O brien,...nice pace bowler, didn know he was into blogging. Catch it here. Made all the events related to this game just pass before my eyes.

Ragging...by retards

2009-03-16T11:48:00.000-07:00

Bad word isn't it...well some stupid( an understatement let me tell you) seniors (or are they, seem like retards to me) in a medical college in Himachal Pradesh managed to kill a junior on pretext of ragging..What harm did this innocent chap do to these retards to instigate them to kill him. It's because of these retards that 'ragging' has got such a bad name.

Well what will just writing a blog do right? It cant stop these retards from having their share of ego massaging from juniors. I agree too, but theres more that needs to be done, than raising voice against such acts. Start small, educate your kids, friends, friends kids..or any god damn soul entering college to not strive for such cheap thrills of ragging and better get a life. A beautiful opportunity that college provides, to become what you want to ( I expect you are in college because you chose to ;)).

All i am doing is just trying to reach out to as many, so that they can reach many more, with just one simple message: Save more killings by Ragging. The message from the mother of the guy who lost his life to Ragging.

Recession

2009-03-06T09:38:00.000-08:00

This word "Recession" does bring a lot of sadness,i could not resist but write on this topic. The MBA community to me seems more affected. The reason being they actually understand what all it means, or hang on, do they? Well, placement season is on and i bet they know it better than anyone else out here. Companies visiting the campuses have reduced, so much so that even IIM-A grads seem to be facing a tuff time this year in lacing their students. Before i go any furthur, i wish all my juniors back in college all the best for their placements. I know i know its too late, but there are still people to be placed, right? Right.

At times i wonder if my education has actually made me more sad. The reason being, when i did not understand the word "recession", "inflation", "downturn"...etc etc i was much more happy. Sachin Tendulkar's shots or a nice game of volley ball or cricket was enough to give my share of high time, and no one cared a damn about inflation. Now, when we do understand it, i am even worried about Japan going down, Germany going down, i have to right, because now sadly i know. Now even a friendly call from boss to appreciate your work sends shiver down your spine, as to if this is it, is it going to be all over now. Now i know, that things are connected and like a domino effect if one goes down it takes others down with it.After following all recession stories on rediff, it really does look it can hapen to anyone.Everyone can be replaced, the company was working without you, and will continue to work without you :). Don't want to put up any more negatives, not my style.

"Ignorance is bliss" truly.

I guess i have found my way of beating the recession blues. Saturdays are not off yet :(, but yea few hours of salsa on weekend are a saviour from all the stress the whole week in recession has to offer.

And Neha i love reading your blogs, just wanted to mention it in my post some where :), they are a great relief.

It was all real

2009-02-26T10:05:00.000-08:00

For all the time i didn speak

this whole while i didn sleep

what you could not see,

what you didn feel

It was all real

That night i walked

i walked for you

That extra hour

i waited for you

That bus i missed to meet you

Your jokes on friends

i took for you

Fever in Rain, i stood for you

It was all real

What i didn do

was to tell you

What i didn do

was to make you feel

It was all real

Finding me

2009-01-25T01:11:00.000-08:00

Open arms are gone again

No sweet touch on sun kissed face

No messing up of curly hair

No shadow dance with lovely grace

This time you know

you're all alone

this time you know

why hoping on

This time you know

its not your way

Its time to rise

its time to see

Its time to dress

Its time to feel

Its time to find

the real me

Embrace

2008-11-12T09:21:00.000-08:00

As i walk through

this empty street

this loneliness that

wants to creep

My shadow is tired

it needs to rest

search continues

rest mind rest

Still reaching out

with tired hands

i don't need help

please understand

Just a hug

a smile,some sleep

a sweet embrace

is all i need

Expectations

2008-11-06T09:51:00.000-08:00

Wish you did this

wish you did that

i wish you did all

i wish you said all

I wish you knew all

i wish not to expect

i wish not to fall

All i am going through

is because of this wish

now i wish

i never had a wish

i wish there was no god to call

for he knows best

he will do the best

i wish i wish i still wish

First freelance assignment, thanks to my friend kinjal ;)

Can't understand silence

2008-10-30T20:59:00.000-07:00

Say say

say it to me

for i am a fool

to understand

silence silence silence

This silence kills

this silence haunts

craziness madness

totally blank

Have filled silence

all this while

with imaginations

stupid stupid stupid

Silence for day

Silence for night

Silence is all you have

to give

And silence is now

All that i have

Can't say it better

2008-10-18T10:48:00.000-07:00

Standing here
in pouring rain
waiting for you

As i shiver in

endless cold

waiting for you

Just the feeling

that you will

smile when you see

warms my soul

Hoping you will

walk with me

listening to you

endlessly

wish you never stop

words sweet words

from you

Every moment

every tear

every cry

wish i share all with you

Looking at you

filling every moment

in my pack of wishes

foolishly hoping

Will do all this

all that i know

Just can't say

can't say it better

Love,Concern

2008-10-11T21:04:00.000-07:00

Concern

So how to know when there is love in a particular situation? When it shows concern for the other, seeks to know what the other likes, and tries to seek within yourself whether you have it to give. I think it is a very simple equation, and if this is practiced sincerely, we can always find out whether there is love in the situation or not.-master

The other side

2008-10-02T10:24:00.000-07:00

Don't know how

Explaining to you

When what why

Not the way i am

Don't have to understand

Will try and express next time

I am sorry i did not

Thats the way i am

Always felt so much

Never said

Done so much

You never felt?

Standing up

Soaking in rain

Hallucinations

Every day game

Its time, you say

Its time you feel

Its time you see

The real part of me

Lies on the other side

falling in love with walls

2008-09-28T11:13:00.000-07:00

Time will heal

time will tell

I have been sweet

I have been nice

Loving this wall

waiting waiting waiting

for it to say it loves me

thats happening,

foolish right

Why should i love not

this lovely wall?

Madness craziness

loving you wall

some day you will share

my love

have loads to give than take

waiting waiting waiting

Give me a chance

Dont run away

Will give you all

Say you need more

Tough loving me

I know

A hug is all it should be

waiting waiting waiting

Rock On....

2008-09-06T21:56:00.000-07:00

Well it doesn get beter than this, a movie that could remind me of the good times spent at college during engineering."Rock On" is one such movie..and the theme "Live your dream"...well how many of us are actually doing what we really like....i once read somewhere never to have back up plans for career...because if you have back up plans you are never fully committed to what you would like to do..because you have a back up.

Anyways, the movie reminded me of our band in college. At a time when every one was crazy about just english rock, we decided to keep performing songs that we liked...all soft hindi rock..and a few soft english rock as well. I can still remember winning at 4 college festivals by performing the same song.."Dhoom" by euphoria. We liked playing songs of euphoria, strings, a few by airsupply too. We never created any originals atleast in college.

the band seperated after engg, luckily 3 of us made it to the same company for work "Satyam"...and this was the time when we created our first original song...

and it started with the same feeling "Dreams"..leavin girl friends behind :))..for the so called long distance relationship...

i just wish i could get back to those good old days and meet up with the band more often and create some originals that we can record...

Some things that i can remember about what we used to do during practice:

1) ani on mike check making the "kissing" sound

2) rohit having to indicate not once not twice but thrice to start singing...

3) pratik improvising on synth, and claiming i can sing and play at the same time too,..while i kunal and rohit looked at each other sayin...naah leav it you will forget ur lines ;)

4) kunal engrossed in creating his own tune..

frens i can remmbr only this...add on to this

Long awaited teacher's collection

2008-09-06T21:11:00.000-07:00

These are all master pieces of my photography teacher ;)

Can we have some comments now :)

Photography TP

2008-08-30T02:54:00.000-07:00

Well in my spare time i do try n click some snaps. lets see..will put some from my teachers collection too here, once i get them from her.
My attempts---there is one sketch by me of all the placecom members of my batch..i was one of them too..try finding me ;)

jaane tu ya jaane na...

2008-08-25T11:00:00.000-07:00

"So when do you know it is love"...Aamir khan makes movies..and his movies at times are perfection personified..this movie too was something everyone could relate to.."jaane tu ya jaane na". This post is not about the movie let me clarify that first. It's about how close to reality this movie i feel was.

When i joined nmims, our VC told us on first day during his address that x% of students who finish their MBA from nmims...end up finding a partner in the same batch ..and i was like...what stats..that too on first day ;)..well later i found few of my batchmates even calculating the probability that they cud be one them..

I figured out that according to this historical data, from our batch at least 12 people should be able to hit target (;) m sorry but Abhinav Bindra's olympic gold has made me use "hit the target" phrase quite often)..and the last count that i have, my batch has approx 10 individuals who will help achieve that target ;)

Guess all of them would have gone through same self realisation, that too in a much shorter time frame (for facts:jai and aditi(movie characters) i guess were together in college for 5 years..and my batch had just 2 years...mba's are superfast ;)).

Its a difficult feeling to realise at start. Its dificult to segregate a friendly feeling from affectionate love feeling. Its difficult to realise if something is being done as a friend or should be asssumed to be a step towards a different relation altogether.

There is so much fear of losing friendship that love actually has to struggle its way out most of the times, and most of the times it stays inside forever, waiting for the next....Target ;)
I feel one should let it out, this feeling and clarify it in the most candid manner one can..and that the other person should respect the feeling and decide objectively..if only things were so easy isnt it ;)

well things can definitely be easy..only thing is "understanding" becomes a more operative a word to make things easy..better understanding can lead to better achievements of ..."TARGETS" :P

Induction

2008-08-16T09:48:00.000-07:00

Went for my induction all the way to pune...and was lucky to see a wind farm...lots of wind turbines installed on a huge area...they call them dinosaurs..and huge they were...then a plant visit where they make these generators...and lots of fun with the training guide...he was damn lucky guy to have taken snaps with salman khan and katrina kaif...hehe..he even sold the idea of buying a wind turbine to salman khan..nice nice

There is this restaurant in pune..."Sigri"..awesome food and ambiance..recommended for all of you..
That was the only night we had some decent food in pune..rest all nights we were struggling to have proper food...We had ordered sweet corn soup once, and wow awesome it was..guess the cook took the order literally to have served us Corn and Sweets :P

Mumbai-Pune ride is one to be enjoyed..on the so called expressay...especially during the rainy season when everything looks washed out and new ;)..people too :P

First month

2008-08-16T09:34:00.000-07:00

Well its the start of a new series after http://mbainmaking.blogspot.com where i tried to put together some moments of my life at NMIMS. That was "honest confessions", so welcome to "honest confessions-2"...naah m not inspired by the movie sequels...guess i will be able to write some interesting stuff...that you can read along.

Convocation..trip back home...good food..friends from college moving to different locations...phew all passed so quickly that by the time i could realise what was happening..i was left all alone...trying to setle down with the new life...life after an mba :)..yea that smile can be interpreted differently..but from me...as my friends will tell you..its full of sarcasm..

First month was pretty cool at office..not to forget the fact that i had already been to office couple of times...thanks to the new concept at my college of doing a CAPSTONE project...dont ask me why they call it that...

Anyways it was good to see few familiar faces at office(i met them during capstone)...who later on formed a nice bunch of colleagues....we are currently just 8 to form the team...Team CDMA..Corporate development and Mergers and acquisitions...Sounds kool huh....:P

Naah..when saturdays are working..it cant be cool can it..i hate working on saturdays..i had dreamt of pursuing so many activities on a saturday..and all that seems a distant dream now...

Hey i forgot to tell you about why this green theme...from a black one...we are a Green company :D..wind energy..SUZLON...more about it in next post

Well first month was not as an mba will expect to be...we were learning on the job for a while...and after two weeks we were formally inducted :)...and on the job learning still continues...

Thats about it for the first month at job...
