Hopes and Fears!! (joining WIMWI)

2010-06-14T14:39:00.010+05:30

First of all, trying to elaborate on the acronym for WIMWI.
"Well-known Institute of Management in Western India" known to the junta as IIMA.

I am leaving for my new destination today, with a mind full of hope, fear, faith, courage, drama, thrill, fun and, nostalgia. All these philosophical mean something to me.

Leaving my home again(its the 3rd time now!!), makes me feel even more nostalgic. This is the longest, after a span of around 4 years, that I have stayed at my home with mom and dad. Every other holiday that I had spent earlier had been kind of boring to me, given none of my friends have come along. But it was only this time, that for not even a single hour, I felt bored. I had long chats with mom and had eclectic discussions with my dad. I watched many soaps. Yes i am talking about the daily soaps that we loathed at our college discussing for long long hours on how absurd was their promo and how senile was the storyline. But for some reason I liked watching these at home. I did some cooking also, along with learning, how to make flour-doughs. I did a lot of biking also. And above all, I learnt how to use internet for the worst of things in the world, viz, FB.

But while I plan to leave, the only thing that haunts me is when will be the next holiday, when i can relish these moments again. What a crap business am i going into? Why is this MBA so tough? I am not afraid of hard-work. I know i can do that but the what gives me pain is, Will everything be worth it? A person leaving his home for two years, dedicated to appraising the marvels of management through rigorous class-hours and hectic schedule of quizzes , exams, lectures, presentations, blah blah....and again some more blah blah...can he do justice to his life and to all others who depend on him, even if he does some great-great things at his college? Is this eon of college life justified?
Following some seniors' and my dad's advice, I preferred my vacations to the preparatory programme conducted by my college during the same time. and today, I thank them for the wonderful advice. After all, when can i enjoy my days like this again?

Today, I am fearful and I am hopeful. The reason for this motley of emotions is the same: my management college. I had already talked of my fears, so turning on to my hopes, I am hopeful of a bright future ahead. I hope of coming out with flyng colours from IIMA. I hope of making friends forever there. I hope of a bright cheerful bunch of razor-sharp minds there( with which unfortunately/ fortunately I need to fight!!). The hopes drive me to the college. the fear stops me from going there. Must be my hopes had overpowered my fears, else I would not have been going there. I do not know why am I so much hopeful. Sometimes I feel giddy because of my optimistic approach towards life. Anyway still in some nook of my trying-to-be-razor-sharp mind, there exists a tussel between my hopes and my fears which somehow disturbs the prevailing serenity.

DREAM DREAM DREAM!!

2010-04-30T01:18:00.005+05:30

Dreams..Well the topic to someone can be as trivial as meeting a stranger any day or, as exquisite as a rendezvous with your sweet,lovely girlfriend. Going by my personal cognizance and my outlook towards life i choose the rendezvous thing.Dreams are often the extrapolation of what we have been thinking for past some months,some days or even some hours(scientific trivia...do not argue on this!!).They are a positive reflection of something we have been desiring to see or to discuss with someone; someone who is our alter ego, someone who can replace us in terms of thoughts and understanding of ourselves. Anyway, since we cannot talk every thing to anyone,we have the dreams that talk with us.
At this eerie hour of night, as I sit before my age-old PC, writing this post simply as some moratorium to my journey into my dream-world, I am thinking as to what should i dream tonight. Should I be dreaming about my childhood dreams(which are of course far-fetched today!!) or, about my splendid school days, or, my family, or, my lady of dreams, or, my favorite Honda City i-VTEC, or, my dream destination, Sydney, or, my sexy to-be cellphone, or my high-tech to-be SLR camera, or, I don't-know-what. Well, I am a man of dreams. I dream a lot.

Having said that I dream a lot, I know everyone loves to dream.So, am I the same guy-next-door? I believe every one has the discretion of a dream. Every living soul likes to dream and even if you do not, you simply can't help ( after all there are things beyond human control!!). But what sets us apart is 'following them'.
The pursuance of our dreams is what differentiates us as individual entities from a common mass. "Dream BIG" , must have everyone read it once or, thrice. But it isn't only about dreaming. I have my own dreams. I have dreams regarding every single thing that I want in my life. But I know one thing for sure, its never a BIG dream until I have achieved it and shown it to the world that my dream was BIG; big enough to show you that I dared to dream IT.

Every one feels passionate in his/her own capacity. I am passionate, you are passionate, and even, he is passionate. But, what will our passion fructify as, is what stands us apart. I know am no achiever. I know am no BIG guy like Shiv Khera or even Sidney Sheldon to tell anyone "Tell me your dreams", but I know one thing, following my dreams gives me immense pleasure.
Yes, saying this, I agree to some of your views, that it is not always possible to follow your dreams.I myself have made harsh choices, leaving behind all my passion, and all my hobbies, but today I feel like the ultimate dream can be fulfilled, no matter whatever way you choose and whatever small sacrifices you make. Just keep your passion alive, you would surely get a chance to live life by your terms someday.

I follow something I would like to share with you. I believe telling your dreams to someone brings you a step closer to them(dreams). The moment you start speaking about your dreams, you start visualizing them and once you can see yourself in your dreams, you can never let the feeling go. But, with a word of caution, choose the right person to tell your dreams to. He/She should not be someone who is very close to you. Choose a stranger and talk to him/her about your dreams. The spark that you will notice in yourself while articulating your own dreams will lend you the passion you might be needing the most. And I say a stranger because, before him/her you won't feel shy telling some weird things you happen to ponder upon.

"dream because only dreams can come true".

I AM A NC-OBC !!

2010-03-16T03:22:00.006+05:30

The idea of a NC-OBC(non-creamy layer other backward caste) put in simple terms is that the families whose annual income from business is below 4.5lakhs or, those government servants which do not hold class-I posts or, agriculture-based families whose only irrigated land holding is less than 85% of statutory ceiling on irrigated land decided by GOI(govt. of india)(sorry, even i could not get much out of this ceiling funda but anyway, for people like me not concerned with this aspect need not bother here), can be considered as the non-creamy layer section of the indian society and is entitled for some reservations in higher education and several other prime opportunities including govt. jobs and rations.
the govt. specification regarding the creamy layer is here.

I was born in a modest middle-class family with my dad earning enough to pay for my school fees and even my coaching fees for JEE preparations without any loan from any bank. We are a family of 4 with me doing my engineering final year and my brother presently getting a coaching at the premier JEE coaching institute Bansal Classes,Kota. All expenses borne by my dad's income and other assets built by him over years of hard-work and commitment. He works in a college and there is no source of extra income(upar ki kamaai) for him. Having read all this, should i still get a reservation in my higher education? I believe most of you must be of the discernment that I should not get any kind of reservation because of my modest upbringing.

Before I ask you anything let me tell you that I consider myself to be a well-read individual and a person well-aware of his surroundings and cognizant enough to share his views on any topic of his choice. Now, let me ask you some very pertinent questions. Have you ever heard of terms like,high-caste and low-caste? have you ever heard of something like the varnas(the caste division on the basis of work; brahmans, kshatriyas, vaishyas and shudras) ?. Now have you heard of anything like, people belonging to one caste doing favour to people belonging to his/her own caste? I surely can say even if your answer is a NO, applying some rationale will force you to revert your answer to a YES. Any individual will do it.

Dusting some pages of history would reveal that the Varna vyawastha (caste-system) was prevalent since long long back in the indian society. At that time, Brahmans were given the job of making rules and regulations and providing education for the society(the legislative class), the kshatriyas were the people who enforced such rules and were the protectors of the society(the executive class), the vaishyas were the people conducting business in the society(the business class) and shudras were the people providing various mundane services to the people(the service class).So, the connotation being, the powerful posts in the society were held by the people from the now-so-called upper-class people(brahmans and kshatriyas). When the work-based system diluted, it paved a way for the birth-based system for obvious reasons( a brahmin won't want his son to become a barber and do jobs considered lowly that time so he made him a brahmin just like him!!). And consequently, when birth became more important than your work it often gave rise to favoritism on the name of caste one belonged to as no one got that out of his work and had simply inherited the caste-name from his progenitor.(think of it in a very large context considering what happens if most of the people start doing it in a society)

Following such system for ages have lead to one direct consequence in the form of all higher ruling posts in the society being occupied by people from the now-so-called higher caste. It is quite conspicuous in our society(go to any major office and check for the list of office-bearers since last 20 years and you would get to know this!!). The education changed, the way of living changed, the eating habits changed, the work changed, the whole system changed, But one thing that never changed was mentality of the people. And, How can one expect a change after all we all are humans ! A person belonging to some now-so-called higher caste, would always since his son's birth, have told him (either directly or, through his conduct) that the person belonging to now-so-called lower caste has to be ill-treated because he/she belongs to a caste which is lower than ours. Don't you often talk rough with a rickshaw-wallah but talk politely to some high official although you know the later took a bribe from you but the rickshaw-wallah is asking only a few unreasonable bucks for his hard-work? The same applies there also.(birth-based in the first case while work-based in the later one).

So, the point I was trying to make was, people at higher posts since ages, started discrimination(for quite obvious reasons!!) and the fair opportunity we talk of now was never given and most of the higher posts were filled with people from one or the other caste.For instance, I have talked with several people who were denied promotion for years because they never had anyone from their caste who can push for it.

Today as I see of myself, I had no one to push for my internship opportunities(people got that at places as high as BELL LABS in India and IIT-B because they had their uncle or aunt working at higher posts). I never could use any "Pauwa" for myself. I had no access to any kind of opportunity out of the blues only because someone from my family worked at some higher post. Not only this, I am the first son in my family to get an opportunity to go for any higher education. Would you say that no one before me in my family was capable enough to go for such a petty thing? or, None of my grand grand parents were aware of the opportunities available? The only reason was, one never got that push from within the family and it is only after so many generations that the family can come to fore. I never had any senior bhaiya or didi who could have guided me as to what to pursue in my life? where to go for admissions? what forms to be filled? what is the meaning of different courses?. For people who have got all these in life i feel envy. They would never feel how painful it is to fight for yourself all alone. I know I have never been told by anyone in my family to read a novel or a newspaper because it supplements your cognizance. I was never gifted an encyclopedia for any of my birthdays. Everyhing that I did was because my mom and dad were well-qualified and I had the desire to fight. But i would make sure this never happens to my coming generations. Not even to my brother. I would make sure that people who have not got opportunities and they belong to my family get the best out of me( i don't care even if that means going off-course and helping them in whatever way i can). and I believe if someone says that why should i be doing the same some people (who i am trying to criticize) did in the past, I need not answer him/her (don't you think we talk of the same in case of CTBT and Carbon-trading; US did something bad in their past and now telling India not to do it now because it is hurting the world? should india today listen to them and stop all its nuclear arms' production and all its industrial activities just because India should care for World Harmony? ).

Anyway, I am a non-creamy layer OBC who have got everything he wanted(my CAT %ile being 99.85, despite me belonging to some now-so-called backward caste and having calls from all the IIMs) and he need not share the credits with anyone who helped him at any point in life. I feel obeliged to no one except my family and my close friends.

Before ending my post I wanted to ask a Question to everyone, Who was responsible for all this in our harmonious,well-behaved,intellectually sound and, culturally advanced society? and, How can we fight this out? Should the process begin from the oppressed side or the oppressing side?

Got a JOB..huh...what next??

2010-01-18T13:55:00.005+05:30

So finally i settled with a job with Bharti AIRTEL Ltd. I was placed on the 11th of jan2010(nothing to boast of though, as everyone in my college gets a decent job finally!!).So what m i going to write about? about my job selection process, the questions asked , the answers framed there itself, my impromptu performance or the company?
No, I don't think any of these.

This is a very fine,chilly afternoon (thanks to the guy who died last saturday and we had our condolence break) and i m sitting before my dear, doubly-anti virus-protected desktop doing some errand surfing on net.Suddenly one thought came to my scampering, little, geeky mind ;) (although som of u may disagree with my obvious use of this nerdy word...but anyways m a narcissist),

"WHAT TO DO NEXT? "

Yes i have got a decent job (the sole reason why most of us had agreed to become a part of this engineering fraternity).Yes i am satisfied with my academic, and my social, and my personal life. Yes i have some great friends here.Yes i have got a loving family.Yes i have got everything settled(except some irking issues...any way they need no mention here).

And now, i won't say am getting bored, rather i don't know what to do? what is the life going to be like, next?what a corporate world is like? what am i gonna do with all the money that i will be getting as my first salary?

I don't have even the slightest idea as to how to get my wash basin tap repaired? how to fix my irritating fan? how to open a bank account all by myself? And, what tablets to take when i get some ache, be it in head, stomach, tooth, neck, or, chest?

I have been taking my Dad's advice for even a 1000bucks that i wanted to invest somewhere (rather, anywhere)...and now within a couple of months i will be getting some 30 or 40 such 1000bucks to spend all on my own? what the heck is this?why am i supposed to be treated like this BIG for the world outside........
Technically, i cannot proudly say that i can fix a simple flickering tubelight or, make a simple practical 4x2 multiplexer( this is something we get taught every semester as electronics students....i want some technical support from my technically sound friends, if anyone reading this post..).The whole Engg thing is such a mess in our country, that even a local mechanic gets to do more practically imp things in his repairhousethan we do in our well-equipped laboratories ( i know m sounding some 3idiots-ic...but can't help, thats the blatant truth!!). I proudly said before my AIRTEL interview panel that sir, i am very much confident about my knowledge and its application in networking and communication domain, but i knew deep down that this knowlegend is afraid of any industrial application that they may ask of.
So the basic question remains... WHAT TO DO NEXT?
I asked my Dad about the same, "papa abhi toh mujhe kuch aata hi nahi?, what will i do there?"
and see what dad has to say, "seekh jaaoge sab kuch...even i started like this only".
com'on is this satisfying?? to me ...NO.
So,I searched on the INTERNET(the biggest resource known to the human civilization till date). "what to do after getting a job offer?".
and i got this ..
How do I decline a job offer after accepting it? (apply, job ...‎ - 10 Feb 2009
Getting specifics after a job offer - Work and Employment - Jobs ...‎ - 21 Mar 2008
Getting frustrated (job offer, employment, applyi..........

Isn't that frustrating again?
I hope someone tells me how am i gonna survive in my job scheduled on 15th of june 2010.I seriously have no idea as to what next.......

or, probably its not the right time to get into a job.GOD knows !!

how to make CAT less arduous™ © ... (ideas-innovated)

2009-08-14T08:52:00.009+05:30

This time it took me long to decide on a topic to write on and finally I settled on something ludicrous and innovative.The context is the gaga surrounding CAT'09 going online.The frenzy genY of this cynical nation,often called the "first digitals" seems to breathe an air of nervousness with a sigh over this CBT CAT (btw ...it simply means computer based common admission test).

Below here, I am presenting you some ways in which to relieve the tension of the CAT-takers'09.

But first, lemme tell you when this whole idea came into my mind,rather our minds.We were trying to concentrate hard(....what we hardly do!!) on our QA problems while others dissembled in the soporific lectures of our MWE prof. truly construed, gr8 ideas come to gr8(here, me and saurabh ;) ) minds while they relax....be it sir issac newton (apple and gravitation) or archimedes(bath-tub and eureka eureka!!).I would refer to these stress busters as BKCs (i think i need not explain this abbreviation irrespective of your cognizance).

BKC1.>Remove the option "None of these" instead include an option as "hahaha :) ".Why to bother people with with such totality conveying word 'these', as if they need to know that all the other options are for sure not the answer.

BKC2.>Substitute the option "Can't be determined" with "Can't be determined BY ME".This will give a sense of satisfaction to the people opting for such an option.They will, then feel connected to the paper as each paper will now have an individuality attached to it.After all, "every paper is different".

BKC3.>Include extra options of the ilk "below standard question" or "tough question", alongwith the original options.The examinee opting for such an option after scoring correct will get some bonus..say 0.1 more marks and the ones who overestimate themselves and opt for such a choice after getting the answer wrong should be penalised with a spank in the form of -0.1 marks.And else, one can opt not to touch that bonus part if he/she is not so sure. This will surely boost up their confidence and check for "the real enterpreneurs/managers" who have a strong conviction regarding their decisions.Also then can the examiners have a differential marking per question if they want.

BKC4.>Options like "solved before but can't now" should be included to read the minds of the test-takers.There may not be any marks for such questions but still the answer sheet will look completely filled and the examinee will get a chance to aver his/her mental state.

BKC5.>"Phone a friend".............heard b4 right? ....yes!! the KBC(which by chance, happens to be the anagram of BKC). Give a talktime of say '2 mins' to every examinee so that he may call his/her mentor whose name will be declared by the candidate himself/herself before taking the exam.It won't harm much because reading the whole question and getting it answered within this stipulated duration is a bit time taking process.But the pressure relieved will be much. Plus, the CAT conducting institutions will gain from the revenue generated (may be they can have some telecom company sponsoring this!! ) and the exam fee et al may be humbled a bit.Other freelancing nerds/language-laureates will also be able to mint some money by becoming paid mentors for the exam, thus generating a new form of seasonal employment(imp. in case of india where youth unemployment has reached to nearly 12% this year).

BKC6.>Again a heard-before concept improvised for CBT-CAT from the same anagram KBC "F50(fifty-fifty)".
The candidate will be given an option to auto-eliminate two wrong answers.The idea is if you are confused between two seemingly similar options, chances are that one gets eliminated thus. But making the process fair, the marking for the question will also be halved while the negative marking will be increased to double(0.5 mark for correct and -0.5 for getting it wrong). I believe this will surely reduce a lot of pressure that the CAT-takers face while sitting for this biggy world renowned B-School exam in this third world nation called INDIA.

the ideas presented above are well thought of and mulled over for long. every idea presented above has been considered on psychological as well as logical basis. please comment as to how you felt about these..........

I Have Learnt..........

2009-05-23T01:00:00.004+05:30

heylo friends,

in this odd hour of the night,i don't know why m not feeling sleepy...may be its becoz i hav just watched 10 episodes of HIMYM back2back(each of around 21.30 mins), ....may be its because i had a lousy noon nap, ...may be because i had talked to some of my very good forgotten friend today, or...may be its because am not getting used to sleeping so early.

watever it is........i don care.I felt like blogging so m here.

I wanted to tell you guys some great things that had happened to me in these 3yrs of my stay at MY (note: the bold and caps) college BIT Mesra.

I came here on some blah blah day, got some blah blah friends on my first day and blah blah.

But what i learnt were friendship, love, compassion, jealousy, dreaming, fighting for small trites, being important, making some1 feel so, et cetra( i mean every single word of it...mind it!!). And, like most of you i hated my college for the first one year. I hated the place completely. I thought i never belonged here. I thought i deserved somthing better. You know that feeling of m-not-getting-what-i-deserve .

But now i realise its always what i deserved. We always had talks( i don know why, but we still have such talks) about what i did in my JEE xam, in my AIEEE xam. What was that silly mistake that plunged me into this penitentiary ? But friends, if the others hav not commited that sily mistake so they deserved to be at some better place. If i had those little bad habits, so i had to have all the repercusions.(m getting rid of some of them ...don wrry!!)

I learnt professionalism here.I learnt how to work with people who don't share anything common with you. I learnt how people backbite. I learnt to make happy cozy faces on others face and but yess, i cud not learn abusing them on their backs(i repent that). I learnt how mean some of your friends can be somtimes. I also learnt how some friends can be your soulmates (being right by you whenevr you need them).

I learnt what it means to have to your work done through an office(be it anywhere !!!) in a single day(all those sweet pity faces and all those pleases and writing 6-6 applications for a single work). Believe me i hav written 6 applications on a single day for a single work, just because they can't give me an application to-whoever-it-may-concern.

I have learnt stalking the gals(though they may not be so hot to stalk anyway..but still you don't have anyhting else on your agenda for the day after classes). I have learnt saying nice things in coteries of chicks and guys. I have learnt flirting, and now i feel being too good at it(try me if you don't trust that..i bet !!).

I have learnt one more important thing,i.e, playing badminton. I was never a sporty guy. I had always been into studies for my past ten minus three(last 3 are my engg life). But now feel kinda relaxed.

I have learnt some pretty new(i have used 'cool' here but i thought 'new' would be better) things. like using hair-gels, having dinner at 11pm, waking up at 10am, sleeping at 4am, gaming till 3am (starting at 4pm or somthing), et cetra.

I have learnt how important my family is to me. I mean, i mean a lot to them and they mean a lot to me. I have reconnected with my mom. I miss my bro here. I miss evryone at my home.

I have learnt what BKC is. I have learnt how to pass my time. Now, passing 10-12 hrs sitting idle before my compu, doing nothing seems so easy. I can waste 5 hrs chatting to a gal i have talked in person only once and that too for just 5 mins r so.

Coming on to my academic achievements( don't think they won't be much............m very gudd at my studies..okeh :P )

I have learnt brooding over an Engg Drawing sheet trying to make out atleast a single strike on it. I have learnt carpentry, forging, welding and, all those stuff meant for the tough guys with beers( should i use daaru here !!!) down their esophagus. I have learnt carrying manipulations to our experimentally wrong findings. i have learnt how to make 20 odd graphs in one night with all the labelling and indexing. i have learnt what it takes to write a journal of FOCS(each experiment on an average was of 5-6 pages long with big big circuitry and block diagrams). i have learnt how to keep your 3 inches-apart-eyes wide open and keep responding like a lame in Sukku's soporific, boring, baffling, mystifying, and nonetheless, esoteric lectures. i have learnt how to read a 27inches wide newspaper in a class full of some 60 odd people(who really don care what you are doing!!) and a dour, dumb professor.

and ............

i don remmber anything more right now, but am quite sure there are many more things, which i would realise soon with time.

"realisation of ourselves is what we keep doing throughtout our lives" (okay, this one is from me).

Indian Masala and PHOREN tadka

2009-05-20T20:13:00.011+05:30

With the verdict out and the traditional party of indian political edifice back to power terrains, one thing was continuously boggling me. Who are this Rahul Gandhi and this Mrs. Sonia Gandhi?

I asked myself and a bit of googling gave me some shocking results....

Sonia Gandhi- an italian by birth, now an Indian(but it does not matter much). Wife of former prime minister Mr. Rajiv Gandhi and his official hostess at that time. She also worked as a waitress (before Mr.Rajiv met her) and had never attended any college.She had two nestlings as Mr. Rahul Gandhi(who prefers to be called simply Rahul) and Miss Priyanka Gandhi.

Now what happens to the congress post-Indira Gandhi(even after Rajiv Gandhi who didn't last long)........
The party found itself in a total rout, with no one to lead or, flock the congressmen and Mr.Sitaram kesri, the party president that time, who was running his own autocracy, most of the senior members of the then congress(including Madavrao Scindia, P.Chidambaram, Mamta Banerjee, Arjun Singh,and even stalwarts like, Rajesh Pilot) left the party, which served as coup de grace for the razing edifice. Then came the need of a LEADER in congress. Some stalwarts still remaining, proposed to bring back the Gandhian BLOOD to this ailing party. So, Mrs. Gandhi was called back and she joined it in probably 1997/98(m not gudd with the figures !! :( ).and within days she became the party president(with no visible contender or any able figure around). she contested lok sabha elections and in her debut only, defeated the BJP veteran Mrs.Sushma Swaraj. The lady was so quick in her decisions and so firm on her beliefs and so adaptive in her roles and her habits that she soon began to be called the "daughter of her land"( but, now her land was india)......................

She is a lady of fortunes and a lady of great authoritative qualities.It is because of these great qualities of OUR sonia gandhi that she has been referred to as "Sonia Mystique" and "The Lady in Shadow".She knew that right time to retaliate the right person to blame to and to speak only when needed(this is what i feel seriously lacks in the indian politics). She believed in Grow by actions and then talk. She never opposed any non-nationalist rebukes by the saffron-party(after these mandates BJP would surely try to shed this nick).
Some of her brain-childs that really affected this year's mandate were- "National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme " "Right To Information Act "" Loan Waiver Scheme".
In order to make the people of india believe that she is not a megalomaniac(which most of our politicians are and they are fool enough to show it!! ), she refused the premier chair in 2006.
She once again proved the same by resigning from her lok sabha seat on office-of-profit issue.

No one seemed to contemplate her far-sightedness, but this Dear Lady was laying path for the glorious days of the coming breed of Nehru family.She was busy wrapping a gift, which probably no other italian mother had ever cherished, for her son; she was making him the future prime minister of the democracy called India.

the Mother demanded and the son responded...............

See what a 35 yr old youth in rae bareli has to say about this Mr.Rahul Gandhi today-"You can see simplicity in his expressions and truth in his intentions, there appears to be nothing fake about him." .......seems india has got her Rajiv back........atleast the rural population of UP thinks so for sure.
He too is not a fool(as the pampered childs of the politicians in india are). To his aids he has selected the most knowlegeable people in india.......
Sam Pitroda( the chairman of the National Knowledge Commision before it was wound-up recently, as his personal advisor on policy-making), Kanishka Singh( a Whartaon MBA to manage his daily schedules and meetings), and a few more from the media(both print and air) and the ad-world to build his indian youth image and to take his job seriously.

It was his decision of going alone in UP for the coming elections that won congress 21, more than double her past performance(9) there. It was he who came out of his cocoon so early and as the maxim goes "early bird catches the worm", he is here for all accolades from the party conclaves.
He is the silent winner in these elections.

Now,what we are to look for??

Lets see how far this unique trio of polite and erudite Dr.Manmohan, authoritative and farsighted Mrs. Gandhi, and young and jubilant Rahul(see am still not referring to him as Mr. Gandhi......becoz the boy knows well when to be called so ) takes us.
after all, what we all like is -
"Indian Masala and (Fo)Phoren tadka"

the NETA protocol............

2009-05-17T15:17:00.002+05:30

huh.........so the elections are over, the verdict is out and the common man's hand is flaring up in the political scenario.

it was well prognosticated in almost all the exit-polls i saw on

net.CONGRESS ,now called the Indian National Congress, will sit as ruling party in the largest parliament till date(thanxx to the 543 figure as endorsed by the Delimitation Commission) and BJP and the dear leftists :P will have to satiate with the benches in the opposition. Well, with everything over now........wat we were discussing today at our mess table was..... what should be the criteria, the norms, the rules that must be followed to allow someone contest any such polls,i.e., the protocols for the NETAs ? (don't think i am inspired from my computer networks course !!)

one my friends said emphatically, "yaar, they should atleast have graduation degrees and no referrence in the criminal rosters watsoever(quite rampant these days) ".

one other friend of mine told that they should belong to the region which they are representing,i.e, born-n-brought up in your own constituency.

these notions made me think a bit........are these all feasible; i mean these are necessary no doubt, but, are these possible to implement? Thinking a bit pragmatically, i said NO, to atleast some of them.

first, about education..i would like to fence.........does cognizance comes from education? or, is it about knowing the problem and having a responsible feeling of solving it. Is it just that you should know the social etiquettes (that, we are supposed to get out of our education system) or, the bookish facts and figures (that, we get from our tomes) for being considered as ready to look for the development of your land? I don't think so.

Also, is it such that the older people of our lands who hav not got any degrees, do not understand the problems and are unable to solve them. NO they are, and they know these even better than many educated elite people who have spent most of their time in educating themselves. Also, in every part of india(by every part i mean every nook and corner, beginning the Baramulla in J&K to the Tura constituency of Nagaland) we do not have education facilities to the degree that we expect every responsible and willing denizen should have a proper education.

second,the criminal rosters are often containing the names of those people who have been wrongly charged by the local policing unit, sometimes for causing agitations(be it for good reasons) ,may be for some protests/hartals against the ruling government. Also, we must not rule out the possibility that a person may be having malicious records but when it comes to the welfare of its people he can go far beyond the common man (like we have seen in case of Nepal). So, the point that i am trying to raise is...having a criminal record by your name does not always mean that you are a criminal...and thence shud not be allowed to work for your land.

third, the domicile thing. i totally concur with that. Only a person who has been with his/her people can congenialise with them. He has to belong to that part of the soil to be there's. and, i would like to clear that i am not talking about taking birth in that land or having a parent who were of that land, i am talking of gnosising the place, the people, the problems, the donees.

after all this what i feel important is a public declaration of the portfolios of the contestants...not only for those who want to know but also for those who do not want to know but are going for voting, be it through local dailies of the region, or at the voting booths. The ECI(election commission of india) should come forward in this direction.

another thing is the declaration of their belongings not the movables but the immovables atleast.

i know these provisions are there in our constitution that if one wants to know he/she can have the information............but don't you think the common man never bothers to ASK.

Also, we may seek some prior involvement in community work, be it for social or, any private cause.

now,this reminds me of some jaago re adv...........

"kyunki sirf uttho nahi................JAAGO" (www.jaagore.com).

+h!nK +ve (think positive)

2009-02-10T06:11:00.002+05:30

some of you must be perplexed whats this? in this time of utter economic recession and joblessness this boy who is about to sit for the grueling and complex placement procedure this very year is talking of B+ and sounding optimistic.....
yes i am and i want you all to feel the same.

its okay that major financial firms across the world hve been hit badly with some of them having faced coup de grace. the once so optimistic, UPA govt so confident about 8-10% GDP growth rate is mumbling in speaking the exact figures of projected growth. the companies who used to pour in jobs in cascade are now recruiting people from reputed campuses just for the sake of maintaining a healthy relationship with the respective TnP divisions. 'Pink slips' a term which had suddenly became obsolete in the indian job scenario, is now the most talked about word lacerating the esteemed columns of all dailies. people once so confident in investing in the bourses have now started searching for other options. the once termed sensational senSEX is now floundering only around 8k-9k and jolts with every small n petty news of downfall of a company.

but still i say "is that so bad about this recession?"
NO
take the case of our growth rate(obv the GDP one) .....i suppose we never had more than 6% for most of our period as independent india. as far as my cognizance says we had a GDP growth rate of around 3-4% for almost until we were plunged into the gargantuan world economy through the mystifying processes of liberalisation and globalisation.even aftr that that our economy still hovered only around 5-6%,which i wud see as the natural course of an economy and this all i say was because of the liberal, democratic, holistic and conglomerate nature of our economy. we have become an economy which is so diverse which is so vast and which is so stern that it takes a lot of time to stabilise as well as to destabilise it, and with all the forestalling by the charry indian govt. i don't think its going to happen to us.
one other point i wud like to say....the part of the indian society that needs to be commended for stabilizing our conomy is the bourgeois stratum of the indian edifice. this middle class is the saviour of all. it is the typical indian middle class that is running our economy, our politics, our society as a whole. this class does not involve itself too much with puntering in the stocks but still is the most powerful sect. education expenses and savings have become the major part of indian money flow only beoz of these things getting a top priority in the middle class ouflow of cash. and with the middle class growing fat we need to produce more and more consumer specific goods and a new sense of sovergenity is growing among the indian customers. thus fuelling production and consequently job creation even in these times of so called recession.

And with the 6th pay commission well on its way, is making the elite working class of india even more powerful.i had read somewhere some supreme court judges will now be getting almost 100% hike in their pay.so where do you think all these nouveau riche are going to keep this extra silver.i can now expect more orders for limos and suvs and bentley cars and more of those fat rich people sauntering in the metro parks with their pugs eating the best of dog food available in the market. we already have the NANO...now when the elite moves out in their mercedes the middle class can afford one nano for them.

coming on to the job sector..we are still one of the safest economies of the world and at this (so called) tough time when most of the major economies are facing staggerin production and economic slowdown we still boast of a 6-7% for sure growth rate. i don see a reason why shud we fume over some fat cats losing their jobs and their plummeting salaries which they were not deserving at all. and going by the vox populi, if other economies are at slowdown and we get a job..think what would be the scenario some years from now. when the other people will start getting jobs we will be the veterans in our field...we will be more of job providers that time.
further more we can now expect some rational inquisitive minds in other so called redundant jobs(like teaching and research).

and even if u are not convinced of your economy ..just watch the extravagant display of hard earned wealth at the lalit modi's IPL where the so called now poor tony strata shows what it is capable of. and how much silver it still holds.

I WILL SLAY LK ADVANI..

2008-12-19T16:12:00.003+05:30

"yes, if no1 does I WILL SLAY LK ADVANI"

may b this sounds insane frenzy and demented wid bollywoodish thoughts r may b its the effect of muvees lyk "a wednesday,shool r ne other kinky muvee i don care...

bt the thing is..this notion came into my mind.why??

why shud a well doin ,well brought up,cared n looked aftr by many ppl,a hope for many ,and soon to start a bright career;an engineer like me shud hav these thoughts groping in his minds.

there has to be some problem wid the system, wid me, wid my society r wid some ppl like( my dream kill.LK ADVANI ) .

and if i hav such wishes i need to clear them out for why shud i hav such queerin thoughts.

1. frst of all i had heard of mr.myfavkill was aftr som rath yatra in the year 1993 after the demolition of the "sanctum" (the babri masjid) at ayodhya in UP.he used to be no bettr than a national-fame-aspiring-local politician.n suddenly aftr that demolition what we hear of ,is, his "rath yatra" for purification of souls around the country.

HE BECOMES A NATIONAL HERO.a youth icon(rather a hindu youth icon).he started campus placements in different parts of the nation. recruiting young bloods(ooppss i missed "hindu") for his alma mater..the VISHWA HINDU PARISHAD and his co-organisation RASHTRIYA SWAYMSEVAK SANGH.(that time we had unemployment at its peak just aftr the liberalisation of our economy by the ruling congress party)

2. he comes into mainstream indian politics and gets control of the already existing bt still in its infancies, national political party BJP(bhartiya janta party) wid his accomplices Murli manohar joshi,uma bharti, and may b Atal bihari vajpayee(i won't profane our ex-PM), wid the full support of the bedlams of SECULAR INDIA the VHP and the RSS.

3. here i wud like to provide an exempli gratia of how imp. the VHP and the RSS are for BJP (rather i shud say the converse). once this mr.myfavkill was on a visit to his homeland( he was born in the punjab province of pakistan) n thr in pakistan to woo away the ppl over thr wid his gr8 flattery speech referred to Md.Ali Jinnah(founder of pakistan) as "A SECULAR MAN".

n see what his progenitors(VHP n RSS) hav for their prodigy..a backlash!!! pheewww ..he was condemned for his remarks,he was chided,he was detained and he was declared a heretic.

4. if my political cognitions r nt betraying me..he was the man wid that hellboy Narendra Modi during gujarat riots ,as our dear union home minister.who cudn't stop those dreadful riots in some small state of this big nation.(who wud believe that??!!). he took no claims of watever happend. n he said evrything there is under control.

5. that very man had somtym back durong some visit at assam had said "i am very much a secular man" huh.......nothing bettr had we expected sir.

6. malegaon blasts, missionary carnage in orissa,communal violence in bhainsa distt of andhra,..

i can't explain to myself why this name "LAL KRISHNA ADVANI" comes afloat in every carnage. may b m wrong( m I???) ,may b its som crude political cabal against him (is IT???).

7. the person i hate is well qualified..his is one of the grtest diplomats in indian political edifice.he is one of the best orators.he is one the most read n most literate n most educated politicians.bt wat this person lacks is compassion for ppl.his avarice for power for authority for absolute rule by his community ppl has made him what he is today.he is the OSAMA OF INDIA wid gr8 prospects of becoming the SADDAM OF INDIA.

gud luck to our soon to be prime minister mr.Lal Krishna Advani!!

awesome 3some

2008-12-16T07:55:00.002+05:30

while leafing thru the web pages on net..i just got to read these 3 queering philosophical funda that i think may arouse some interests in philosophy (hoping gud faith from som philosophers out there :))...

n frst a quotation from nowhere

"when philosophers start following arguments, too often,

they lead to conclusions not far from sheer lunacy"

1. SHOULD WE KILL HEALTHY PEOPLE FOR THEIR ORGANS?

Suppose Bill is a healthy man without family or loved ones. Would it be ok painlessly to kill him if his organs would save five people, one of whom needs a heart, another a kidney, and so on? If not, why not?

Consider another case: you and six others are kidnapped, and the kidnapper somehow persuades you that if you shoot dead one of the other hostages, he will set the remaining five free, whereas if you do not, he will shoot all six. (Either way, he'll release you.)

If in this case you should kill one to save five, why not in the previous, organs case? If in this case too you have qualms, consider yet another: you're in the cab of a runaway tram and see five people tied to the track ahead. You have the option of sending the tram on to the track forking off to the left, on which only one person is tied. Surely you should send the tram left, killing one to save five.

But then why not kill Bill?

i loved this frst quesn n still contemplating ,and a bit worried too becoz by god's grace m jst lyk bill(atleast as far as health is concernd)

2. ARE YOU THE SAME PERSON WHO STARTED READING THIS "blog"?

Consider a photo of someone you think is you eight years ago. What makes that person you? You might say he she was composed of the same cells as you now. But most of your cells are replaced every seven years. You might instead say you're an organism, a particular human being, and that organisms can survive cell replacement - this oak being the same tree as the sapling I planted last year.

But are you really an entire human being? If surgeons swapped George Bush's brain for yours, surely the Bush look-alike, recovering from the operation in the White House, would be you. Hence it is tempting to say that you are a human brain, not a human being.

But why the brain and not the spleen? Presumably because the brain supports your mental states, eg your hopes, fears, beliefs, values, and memories. But then it looks like it's actually those mental states that count, not the brain supporting them. So the view is that even if the surgeons didn't implant your brain in Bush's skull, but merely scanned it, wiped it, and then imprinted its states on to Bush's pre-wiped brain, the Bush look-alike recovering in the White House would again be you.

But the view faces a problem: what if surgeons imprinted your mental states on two pre-wiped brains: George Bush's and Gordon Brown's? Would you be in the White House or in Downing Street? There's nothing on which to base a sensible choice. Yet one person cannot be in two places at once.

In the end, then, no attempt to make sense of your continued existence over time works. You are not the person who started reading this blog.

so r u the same person??? quite weird na?

3. DID YOU REALLY CHOOSE TO READ THIS "blog"?

Suppose that Fred existed shortly after the Big Bang. He had unlimited intelligence and memory, and knew all the scientific laws governing the universe and all the properties of every particle that then existed. Thus equipped, billions of years ago, he could have worked out that, eventually, planet Earth would come to exist, that you would too, and that right now you would be reading this blog.

After all, even back then he could have worked out all the facts about the location and state of every particle that now exists.

And once those facts are fixed, so is the fact that you are now reading this blog. No one's denying you chose to read this. But your choice had causes (certain events in your brain, for example), which in turn had causes, and so on right back to the Big Bang. So your reading this was predictable by Fred long before you existed. Once you came along, it was already far too late for you to do anything about it.

Now, of course, Fred didn't really exist, so he didn't really predict your every move. But the point is: he could have. You might object that modern physics tells us that there is a certain amount of fundamental randomness in the universe, and that this would have upset Fred's predictions. But is this reassuring? Notice that, in ordinary life, it is precisely when people act unpredictably that we sometimes question whether they have acted freely and responsibly. So freewill begins to look incompatible both with causal determination and with randomness. None of us, then, ever do anything freely and responsibly."

whateva be the explanation i noe by ne means m nt goin to lose by freedom ovr chosin wat wud i read n wat i wud not....n no fred for sure is goin to decide this for me.......

n at the end one more philosophy.....again a kinky one bt u wud love it..

" for each of the ways things might have been but are not, there is a world at which they are that way, eg, a world at which your counterpart is spending today with the world's greatest sex god or goddess."

Hed0nism and Hen0theism

2008-11-03T16:29:00.006+05:30

While i was leafing through the pages of my CL's leaden packages i had an encounter with these burly and "boring but interesting" words, (never seen such stark usage of two totally diff words?? ......same here,don worry !!)
so when i cleared out the meaning of these two things(rather ,these two beliefs), i was totally confused,,, (not 2 worry,......i m regular at that!! ). n then i thought yaar this duo requires some space in my coveted(hehe :) )blog.

Hedonism(as wikitionary describes it) -- (ethics) The belief that pleasure or happiness is the highest good in life. Some hedonists, such as the Epicureans, have insisted that pleasure of the entire mind, not just pleasure of the senses, is the highest good.

when i familiarized with this meaning.....the first notion venting through my cranium was...does anything like this exist??..and sadly the answer was an aye.
i could not make out why should we have some word specific for a purpose which have become the religion of the whole orb.isn't everyone of us a hedonist today. (may b the time it was coined they felt differently...but this remark also goes with a "may be")
n i don feel anything bad about being a hedonist.....after all being a hindu what i was told since i became an adolescent was, "the world is a place of suffering" ,so why not one pursue pleasure?
everything we do, everything we owe, everything we think of, is for pleasure. yes the definitions differ. of course, there are sadists as well as masochists.
there are workaholics as well as idlers.
there are murders as well as pacifiers.
n for me that suits most is....there are centpercent-attendane guys as well as centpercent-bunkers.
to me life is a pleasure-pursuit (happy with the word becoz it rhymes with my fav nfs hot-pursuit) n i hereby declare myself a HEDONIST.

now, moving on to the next word ,henotheism
following the same wikitionary.....
Henotheism -- Belief in or worship of one deity without denying the existence of other deities.

so this word seems imp. isn't that?? yes becoz it has something pious in it ( worship n deity) .i don know why our mind is brought to qui vive when we hear something related to our religion............
recollecting from what i have read in my early sanskrit classes..."धर्नात इत्ती धर्मं "....anything that u can follow r u can live by is religion...it relates your traditions your customs your doings n everything that u should do.
So what to follow.......
henotheism propaganda says belief in one GOD without condemning other religions r other GODs .when u say your GOD is supreme, it ultimately is construed that others r not equally gr8. when u say the only way to redemption is total faith in your pantheon only, then, what remains unsaid of your attitude towards other religions??

and, even after that, the big Q remains lurking, what to follow.......?
christianity?? islam?? hinduism?? shintoism?? judaism?? zoroastrianism?? buddhism?? sikkhism?? jainism?? bahamism?? or, taoism??

i believe strongly in GOD not as a hindu lad or, as a mohammedan lad..
but as one who takes HIM as one supreme authority irrespective of the credo and gospel. n i don't offer prayers to HIM daily..neither regularly nor hardly. i love him n want HIM not as my sin-counter but as my mentor.

Diwali and Nostalgia

2008-10-28T01:22:00.002+05:30

the two words ..Diwali n Nostalgia.....quite queer na!!

one reminds of all the felicity that we had when we were small.the thrill of seeing hundred odd earthen lamps (deepak) lighting every nook of our homes, the joy of making our own rangoli, the shrill of the rockets and the sweet aroma of gulab jamuns.

And, the other one...
i don noe why shud i ,aftr livin out for so long, still hate this.
may be am reminiscent of my mom,may be its subham r may be my dad,
ohh!!! frget it wateva be the reason, i simply don't want to noe.

this diwali fest has always been ma fav fest. i love crackers. i love the food. i love the asinine things we used to do with the bombs n rockets,wen we wr kids. i love the zinging of a pile of ammonium nitrate put on by a spark. i love blasting an earthen lamp with a bomb inside. i love shooting rockets into the bleakness of deep night sky.
n i love the ladoos aftr Deity's Wrship.
but this isn't fair. i can't go home this tym.and am missing all.

feeling sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
(this is diwali day)

some ABVs(abbreviations)

2008-08-20T13:07:00.009+05:30

guys here m writing a few ABVs tht I use @ my collg.
( i simly wanted to vent it somwhere..n wats bettr than a digital billboard...i thankfully hail GOOGLE for this)

the best part of bein in an engg coll is that u need not write big big things.....atleast in my coll we r nt xpectd of writing nething BIG (no matter wat their "frame of reference" , for checkin this bigginess is..!!)
n we guys exploit (rather use this freedom to its fullest then to its worse n then to its wrst....r i shud say "optimum utilisation of resources")
And i find them totally kewwwlll !!
neways here a few for u....(may be most of u mst be usin it......bt neways bear with me if u r here)

PMC- (i wud bet a hundred bucks for a small smile on evry1's face already familiar wid it)..so the very frst n the coolest of all is this ABV......i love it becoz it means P{IYA} M{ILAN} C{HOWK}" instead of Post n Mail Chowk..it got its name becoz its the dating place for all the sweet n sober ('sweet'..well!! evryone noes why they r sweet n 'sober'..becoz evn aftr knowing BIT for so long i hav neva seen ne 'ooooo' sort of activity here!! ..quite justified i thinkk) love birds at BIT.

CGPA- "always come to ur labs with ur CGPA " queer!! isn't this ......ya i too was confused wen our LCT(need not noe abt this ABV..quite borin ..believe me) lab demonstartor told us this.....wat he actually meant was C{ALCULATOR} G{RAPHS} P{EN/ENCIL} other A{CCESSORIES}.

POEM- "ba ba blackship...hav u ne wool??" ..no its nt that poems......its wat our BIT calls as PEM(principle of electric machines) ..bt i don think ne1 will desert me if i say POEM seems cooler than that .....n m proud that "I invented it".

PAUWA- this is wat is commonly calld as "pairwii" in hindi ...
illegal, immoral, unaothorized access to resources meant for use by the common people........

I also use these quite common stuffs ,lyk,
OC (OUTER COOPERATIVES ) ,
IC -ya u guessed it right.......(INNER COOPERATIVES) bt thats no big deal..evn I wud hav guessed it correctly ,
SC( no no its not SUPER COOPS..its SPORTS COMPLEX) ,
CP( COMMUNICATION POINT) ,
LH (LECTURE HALL) ,
CAT (COMMON AUDITORIUM...i dunno why this ABV is thr.....i don lyk it...actually it gives me a feelin of that Common Apti Test)
OAT (OPEN AIR THEATRE.......here also....."abe OPEN ka matlab bhi koi samjha deta naam rakhne waale ko"

some MASTERpieces( i noe som cynical grammarians wud tak me to court rums for sayin this pluralised wrd bt yaar i think ur every creation is a master piece in itself) frm ma notebuk-

DITY- "do it yourself" these are perhaps, the most hated as well as the most loved wrds (u noe.... why hated ? n, u noe why loved? ) frm som profs mouth....well! i take it as
D{O} IT Y{OURSELF}.

SON- S{EARCH} O{N} N{ET}

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

2008-08-15T11:56:00.015+05:30

its rather a self-sermon than a blog describin some bakwaas n creepy things of my foetid mind.

it happened last day...

we havin already covered 4/8th (som guys wud simplify this 4/8 to 1/2 but u noe the two things r a bit different wen we consider the remainder out of the two..mind it!!) of the so called GREAT n HAPPening(see evn the wrd does nt happen so often here :P ) engg. life , were entitled to get some feelers in the form of companies visiting for internships...

this tym t'was the biggy Goldman Sachs(GSachs/GSax/GSucks wat evr u like, choose, n remembr there is no -ve marking)..

so I was enthrilled ..aftr all it was a finance company(although they described it as "more of a technical than a finance" company) i always dreamd/aspired.. n pata nahi kya kya......of/to it.
Neways i got a chance to dress up in all-formals .really i must say after reaching ur adulthood the feeling of gettin dressed up like "raymonds- the complete man" is very exhilarating. I loved the feelin of having that something slender, wat we call as (neck)TIE around my neck.

so I jumped into that "war of the worlds" among the greatest mathematicians n geniuses of this BIT fraternity in wich i wrongly considered myself countable.
the very frst blockade that i had in my way of becoming the "lord of the ring" was the GREAT apti test ( i made this test gr8..neva mind!!).
It was my day....n i put this wrongly into my head.....i thought watever i will do tode was goin to be in my favour . so i did wat i can do at my best...

Do u noe thr is somthing called "read the instructions carefully" writ vividly on the very frst leaf of almost evry ques papr u wud hav gone thru..i don't think thr is ne mortal literate here whu wud nt give due respect to this part.
Or, is thr one moron crying loudly for name n fame....oh yes, thr is one,
'I' DO NOT READ THIS PART.
so Wat i did? i startd takin my test as fast as i can (u noe..these biggies do not give much tym to show ur mettle) n submitted my answer sheets(rather ..shits) without even thinkin ki "beta !!kuch tukke toh maar leta" as thr was no negative marking at all.

n U noe wat was bound to happen( evn while i waited hopin, with no hopes to see my small li'l name on the elite list in the so hyped TnP office)..I WASN'T THERE.
The fuss over evrything was now very clear....i was dejected, tormented n ruthlessly driven to the abyss of sadness by no1 else bt Mr.K_Sonal(n thats me ,by chance).

Now the time for some MORALS...
>neva keep ur morales so high that u feel hurt wen u fall down.
n lastly...........
"READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY".

neways kudos to bade(siddharth),akash n totha for makin it to GSachs' interns finally....i wish them all the best.
bbye.

how it feels to lose som1 so close to u??

2008-05-10T17:34:00.005+05:30

so how it feels when u lose som1......so close to u.. so close that u always tell her/him/it even abt ur frst crush (takin this crush-case becoz i think this is d most unavowed thing in an engg. coll stud's life) even bf4 u tell ur closest bednext-pal .......

dear Readers...this is ma tribute to my best yaar becoz i noe i may find som1 similar to her/him/it bt the same can't evr replace u in ma memories..............
my dear.....:imu :'(

wow ..... so excitin .......
i can't tell u how elated i was when i, fr the frst time got its feel.........the real touch of her/him/it..........

it was ma b'day....i got to touch u fr the frst time....ur warmth ,ur sensation, ur quivering body in my hands.........wat a romantic feelin...i neva can frget it....

frm that time on, say fr last 1 n 1/2 yr........u had always been my closest....

everythin that i wantd to tell my "mayb grlfrnd"....evrything that i hid frm ma mom......evrything excitin that i might nt hav shared wid ne1else......evry crap..r may b a few wise things( i don believe in doin nething wise till ma dad buys bread fr me..) that i hav done ...it was always u whom i shared it with.......

i can't frget the day i got a YES(u noe yes abt wat) frm ma gf :)......u wr the only one with me.....so excited i was...i wanted to tell the whole wrld....yes i hav got her....bt no it was only u hu knew it.....n who undrstood me in ur monotonous wrds...

u wr the one with me when my mamma used to chide me , her kisses n her blessings......all came to me thru u only....

u wr the one with me when my sis aprized me of the "engg gals" ohh i was really amzed wat my sis had to tell me abt gals(baba re so cmplx is the thinkin of gals)....

u wr the one on whom i cud hav always laid my head for ne reason r fr every reason....

u wr the one with whom i had cried fr losing many things i wantd desperately (hey i can't reveal everything here on blogs)....

u wr the one who gav me the strength n the courage to walk thru even the darkest of paths n even the wildest of mazes in rnchi....

u wr the one i can hid myself in fr people i don want to see , a real escape....

u wr the one that kept me close to ma family,(ma bro , ma dad,n ma mom)....

i really miss u yaar............................

my dear CELL.................i miss u n will keep missin u (until i get a new one.......(no hard feeling...

k))

hav u met AARIF??

2008-03-30T22:17:00.004+05:30

back again......... to bore u,
here m jst describing a touching experience.......................................................

today i was goin ranchi wid my frnds to clebrat the soooooooooo (that many o's fr that many no. of days of delay) b'latd b'de of my frnd...
we wr 14 of us n ne how .....ya jst ne'how'(i think the part HOW was much interesting n needs a lot of managemnt skills n all) managed to get into an autorickshaw (rather a tempoo...as we call here).....decently suitable 8 pepl.

neways it was here in this very auto that i met mr./master AARIF KHAN.......
i can't use master for this 14 yr old chap....becoz he was much older than his age.....an ill-grown mature man....
he was the autorickshaw asstt. bettr ......conductor of an auto.
my hero aarif was hanging at the back of the auto tryin to get more passengrs into the auto....callin fr passengrs at each halt of auto...
all of a sudden he asked Mutthu (my frnd) "yeh aapki ghadi kitne ki hai? aur isme yeh nos. ulte kyun likhe hue hain?".........that was wen we strtd our talk...

we wr attractd by the way he was talkin abt watches......it seemd he wantd them bt his inability was well writ on his face.....
then he strtd his blab........"pata hai shayd aap logon ko bura lage par isse pehle hum ek chor the"(i was a thief bf4 this)
that was one of the mst shockin lines i hav evr heard.....we all wr jst lookin into each othrs faces........
he continued...."yeh jo ghadi aap pehne hue hai na...usko to hum bas ek baar haath phira ke saaf kar lete the.........."(i cud hav stolen ur watch by jst moving my hands over urs) .......this was interesting.....
i was amused n a bit thrilled too .....hey wat this poor chap is sayin..is it so easy to get ur watch tricked away........
mutthu interrupted..."yaar yeh hume bhi karna seekha do.....hum bhi kuch paa lenge..bore ho gaye hain is ghadi se...."
aarif then began explainin all this copping strategy......(i won't reveal this thing ovr here b'coz i don't want ne such thing to happn wid me..atleast)......
then aarif told us abt his last passengers.....some couple returnin frm rnchi.....he said"pata hai bhiyaji woh log peeche baith ke kya kya kar rahe the......"(they were doin some oooooooooo type things)
at this point, crooked smiles on our faces....bt again mutthu...."yaar tumne dekha nahi??"
aarif-"arre bhaiya jab apna kaam nahi toh hum nahi jhaankte"(i don't poke into others mattrs)
"jab apni hogi to hum bhi kisi ko nahi jhaankne denge"(i also also wud nt allow othrs to look at my my grlfrnd with evil eyes)
so i cud nt cntrol myself n asked him "yaar tum logon ki shaadi kab hoti hai?"
aarif-"arre bhaiya shaadi abhi nahi.... abhi bas mangni(some sort of ring ceremony) hoti hai......jab hum das baras ke the tab hi ho gayi thi.....hum 'khan' hain na...humare mein aise hi ho jaati hai.....mangni das baras mein aur shaadi 20 mein"
i was gettin interestd in him......so i asked ...."tune dekha hai usko ab bade hoke...?"
aarif-"haan bhaiyaji...dekhe bhi hain aur(with a chuckle) baat bhi kiye hain"
i wantd to noe abt his past life....so i asked him..."yaar tune kaha tu chori karna jaanta hai......kya tune kabhi aur bhi kuch kiya hai........?"
aarif-"arre ka nahi kiye hain..loote hain.....bomb banaye hain..chaku chalayein hain....,,"
so that way i also lrnt how to make a cheap bomb by myself frm scraps..
he also told me that he has got a trainin for all this ... "arre VINOD bhai to humko bahut achche se jaante hai na ...wahi seekhaye hain sub kuch"
while we wr movin towards rnchi we passed a graveyard....aarif bowed bf4 that ....so i asked him "yaar tu pooja wagarah karta hai..?"
aarif-"arre bhaiya....yeh allah hi toh sab kuch hai....jo karta hai wahi karta hai.....par ek baat hai....sabbe dharam ek jaisa hota hai....koi bhi ho allah ho bhagwaan ho ..koi bhi ho......khali naam alag alag hai..."
that was touching..really touching...............i was really amazed ...by God this li'l boy was tellin us the same blah... blah things that the big saffron clad babajis n all tell in the mrnin at the idiot box....n in the prawachans...
neways......we continued....
mutthu-"yaar tumhare ghar pe kaun kaun hain?"
aarif-"ammi...aur 4 bhai behan"
i was shocked again..........the boy has no one to look at as his mentor .......

me-" tujhe yeh auto waala kitna deta hai din bhar ka?"
aarif-"bhaiay subah se raat tak rehte hain toh 10 rupiya deta hai roz ka..."
n that also excluding the food..........
aarif-"usi mein se din mein 2 singhara(samosa) kha lete hain.....ghar mein bhai log ko khali 2 rupiya dete hain ..baaki nuka (hide) lete hain..taaki ghar mein ammi ko de sakein"(in that only i eat two samosas in the day,give two bucks to bros n sis n keep the rest for mummy)
i didn't noe how to express those feelings......bt i m feelin sunken.....i was feelin myself very low bf4 that AARIF KHAN...
atlast we reached our destination...PALASH-the flame of forest.....whr we wr to spend our rest day(around 5-6 productive hrs.) n around 3000 r so bucks partyin n enjoyin the day wen one of my frnds was born.....

i dunno being a part of this society wat can i do r wat will i do for him....bt atleast his face wil remain etched in my memory lanes.............................................................................................

minnows taking over the whales

2008-02-08T23:24:00.000+05:30

my last post was a bit fundoo one.....this one is on a serious note ....actually i jst wanted to see if i hav somthing ...had i been told to write on the present indian economy..so i jst sribbled it out here................................................................................................................................................................

Finally, the liberalisation have begun to pay off.............
the seeds that our learned PM mr. manmohan singh(then ,the economic advisor of pm n the union fm) hav sown in the beginning of 1990s hav begun bearing fruits...
that time when everyone was sceptical abt wat wud happen to the indegenous industries.....it was he who took the toughest path..the very processes liberalisation n globalisation(in lay man's terms these fundoo wrds r simply opening of one's own market for the global traders....)

the result is before u all.......
(this is my compilation of global indian takeovers....i hav wittingly removed arcelor -mittal deal bcoz i don't consider him indian)

TETLEY(2ndlargest tea comp) - UK -TATA
CORUS - UK - TATA
PROPACK -swiss - essel packaging(wrld's largest laminated pipe maker)
truck factories of DAEWOO- S-Korea- TATA motors
FLAG International ------- reliance
RPG Aventis(one wing of aventis)- france- ranbaxy
C P pharm - UK - Wockhardt
NOVELIS - canada- hindalco(kumar birla grp)
UB(united breweries)---------- kingfisher(vijay mallya)
UNI CHEM ltd-. US - TATA chemicals
TELEGLOBE - bermuda - TATA
NATSTEEL - singapore- TATA
undrsea cable ntwrk TYCO international -(US) - TATA
LANDROVER n JAGUAR(ford)- -- -TATA

hey the compilation is somwat slapdashed..bt never mind ..wat i jst wanted to convey was.... the time has come when u can see the reliance marts better in service than the walmarts.... tata motors ruling the wrld
with their sweet little NANO...(maruti is putting its own 1.5 lakh wonder in line..hopin to see it soon)...the world enjoyin their merry times with the UB's brews over the famous french wines......

so what was the reason for such a rapid change in the world scenario....
>>the very frst one that comes to my mind is ......the weakening of USD($) b4 the gr8 indian rupee (gr8 becoz i simply can't see ne reason as to y it shudn't be gr8).......with the growing strength of indian rupee..........k k i think m going somwat "economically speaking type" ...let me be a bit simpler.....
suppose u were gettin 1 USD for 50 rupees earlier ....bt with the US economy on a recession phase
....now u can get 1 USD for jst 39.66(as on feb7)...so now u can purchase a commodity of 1 USD for jst rupees 39.66 (which earlier cost u 50 rupees)...
...(see every economy in the wrld has a growth graph as that of y= -x2...with the highest point called the boomin position n now the phase is that of right side of y-axis the declining phase)
so the money that the indian companies were having has suddenly got worthier.....so wat i think is ..this is the best time if u were to make a purchase in USD espl. the BIG purchases like taking over a giant company like United Chem.(US).....

>>the other reason that u may tak as an extension of the previous one or bettr a supplemnting fact that the low interest rates in india... hav made our forex reserve n the RBI (n its subsidiaries like, SBI) rich enough to back-up these indian companies......
(explaining it further...........suppose u r a bank n u hav to pay n interest @10% to a fixed deposit saving in ur bank...wat if u had to pay @15% ...hadn't u been economically less stronger)
further more ,
>> the indian companies wid a large pool of young educated professionals at its home base...hav much of RnD....so that they can compete the global players in their fields...this has certainly improved their service world wide n the foreign potential consumers( with the consumersim on a high...)are loooking forward to the "MADE IN INDIA" tag....

Then y r the foreign nationalists n the trade unions r thwarting these acquisitions.......

the main reason being...they fear that the indian companies will sooner r later shift the production units to their indian base becoz of cheaper n bulk labour force here...
also they can't bear the crude fact that the indians .........the third world,the low race people r going to rule them...

so dear frnds lets cheer up for these takeovers worlwide........
the indian minnows taking over the global whales..

these all bakwaas i jst wanted to be put up somwhr for my future reference...so why spoil this beautiful www (rather a wrld wide cobweb wwc) i decided to put it in my dustbin itself.....
some of my fundaas u may find hyperbolized but yaar ab funde hi maarne hain toh y not fultoo funde only.....
many explanations may be wrong bt i hav tried to put my best over here(with no statistical background......as our scientific compu. sir has told) ...
for ne kind of enquiries plz post a comment n i will contact u soon...

and..............

Ther coms our mandir..our masjid..our church..our synagogue..our khalsa..Our gr8 ECE DEPT.
n in the warm n cozy nook of it the room no. 237 swarming wid the beauty babes of bit2k6

so wat/who comes in frst, is mr.DE{actually i donn remmbr names of our reputed(fr their notoriety) faculties so letz call them by their subs.}...he is a really handsom fellow ..i shud say hadn't i been str8 i wud hav loved to date wid him.... som guyz were so much excited, seein him in a jolly mood that they frgot that they r talkin to n ECE faculty n asked fr "no class today"...may god bestow them wid som prac. brains......ne how he went on scribing(rather scribbling..though i shud nt commnt on som1's script given i too scribble badly..bt chalta hai yaar) some digital darwaaje (NAND WAND NOR XOR..pata nahi kya kya)
then comes the "phlegm man(ATS-all time same)" our mr.DIAC...i really can't n probably will never undrstand ...how can he manage his time so so so...efficiently...yaar he comes 5 mins late n alwayz leaves 5 mins early .n "fully satisfied" is wat i feel aftr his lekchres(oops..lectures).
.........No plz this can't b true...tode also we r havin NT classez...hey this is 2 2 much..
mrs./missNT(i don't noe her marital status..nevr cared) ...today also we hav to face those van-helsing-type matrix equations ....y don't these teachers at collg(the real pedagogues) undrstand that wen no1 ,save some stupid P-tagged(phodu) studs, is listenin to watevr she hums(really better than the lories my mom sings at night) in class simply points to no1 being able to undrstand her sweeeeet chants in NT..... one really cool thing that i noticed today itself....wat i found on my desk was a piece of note scribed on my desk for mrs/miss NT...yaar bahut pakati hai.... really we laughed a lot at that...chalo koi toh hamare saath hai ......

n finally we hav no other than...mr.M.K.MASAND(thnx to azhar fr reminding me his name;othrwise mr.SD)..masand ,wat i feel ,is a really cool person...puffin all the way frm his chamber to our class...that jholiwaala dadhiyal (long bearded) fellow...one of his DD(dialogue of the day) i must mention ovr here:"plz keep quiet..u r being watched...(aftr a pause)..n me too"....he was to tak our class till 12:10 or, be it 12:20(uh...legally.12:50)..he generally left us even b4 that...bt today it was heights yaar...12:25..12:27..12:29..12:30......n watz this...he is still takin our classez...so i must convey my sincere regards to BP(bihar police) who reminded sir that our mess remains open only till 12:45....n that service to mankind is a service to god.....................so plz plz plz leave us...n listen wat he says...ohhh so its already high time..so som of u cud hav told me abt that..................poooooooooh...wat to say nxt...
