Independence........

2006-03-25T20:39:00.000-08:00

I wont start my post by a hi or a hey coz i dont feel like

There are bigger issues going on in my mind
The urge to shape up my life
The urge to redefine myself
The urge to make people understand me
The urge to get what I want.
The urge to go beyond the normal and less taken path.

And in this mind there comes the thought to become independent.
I dunno why but the feeling comes as if I want to stay in a different city or take a flat somewhere near my office.
The mind wants to explore new dimensions of freedom.
Its not like that I want to stay like that forever,but the fact is that I feel being independent would help me gain a new dimension of life which I have lacked.
Staying away from home would obviously make one more strong,more independent,more flexible to situations pertaining to my life.
I do feel that staying away for some one year or so will make a good grounding for my future life .

To conclude I would say that staying away brings out certain unknown changes in everyone and I want to know what those are.

I wanna blog...

2005-12-21T07:20:00.000-08:00

Hi

I knw i have again broken my promise of blogging frequently but i really cudnt help myself in this sense.
Things became bit busy.
And also my home pc is out of order. ("out of order " quite a thought provoking phrase.

I have my friend's(Gaurav) bday treat today and we are gonna attend it in Noida today.
So lets see how it goes.

Welcome me to the blogging arena after a long hiatus.

Time of the year-August

2005-10-31T03:30:00.000-08:00

Hey guys,

welcome me after a long break,
u knw i feel like i alwayz promise people that i will be back but then sumhow things shape up like the way i dont want them to and then im not able to put up my haazri (attendence) in this blog.

a lot of thoughts keep coming in my mind bout my college life.
well among other things which i think , the last year of which was really awesome , i some how start remembering the month August.this is the month when my birthday is celebrated.but then apart from this , this is the month when new joinees and new students joined our college. well u all must be thinking cum on guy ur in a job now stop thinking bout ur college.but then ur college is something which gives u the strength and attitutde with which u can face this world.and u cant forget it.right

so August is the month when pretty:-) and scared faces join the college.

and then August is also the time which remindes me of sumthing.a bunch of students flocking up near a notice board listing a long list of students joinin in first year. so this notice board contains a long list of students among which there r sum names with a special symbol in front of them. so that special symbol is 'w'.so this special symbol signifies a special breed of mankind which is already and almost non existent in engineering colleges.no fastest fingers first and no KBC for guessing that. it means women.dont knw why havent they created a 'g' meaning girl or 'pg ' meaning pretty girl. anyways the thing is that a bunch of guys standing around a notice board counting the already rare 'w' in the list is a pretty site.
add to that the site of people catching up girls (mostly) and guys for ragging.and then how som benevolent senior will turn up to save a pretty face from ragging( like a hero crossing a path full of fire to save th heroine ) provided the face turns out to really attractive.

i have really never indulged in such an act in a pure and dedicated manner but then seeing others doing it and enjoying it is aslo fun.

and how can i forget me giving treats to my friends in August and making my wallet lighter and lighter and those endless bumps.these bumps surely do sume business for pain relieving gels.

and yeah i promise some frequent posts to all of u .

Pleasing Others

2005-09-25T00:35:00.000-07:00

Hi

I read this quote and immediately after reading it I sortta started contemplating about what was being conveyed.

The quote is :

"I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure- try to please everybody."
-- Herbert Bayard Swope

As far as I am concerned let me give u my view points:

For:
1)Thinking too much bout others can lead to unneccesary tensions.
2) It also leads to a pile of unneccessay work.
3) People start expecting too much out of u.
4) Slowly u may lose ur importance among others coz ur alwayz available for others.

Against:
1) Man is a social creature and He is bound to live in social way.
2) It is imperative to please others inorder to expect something in return.

Im bit confused regarding the context of quote.Does pleasing means helping others or something else.

Come on speak out ur mind.
How many of you think that this quote is really relevant or how many of you think that this i just another quote.
How many of you think that our work comes before every thing else.
How many of u think that compromising our work to please others is just a sheer waste of time.
How many of u support the wisdom of this quote.

Pendulum Eyes

2005-09-18T22:50:00.000-07:00

Hi

Ever seen these creatures...yeah they are every where.Right from ur neighbour hood guy to ur vegetable vendor.But how do u recognise them.just see them whenever a girl a passing in front of them.and u would see their eye going round and round....to be precise 180 degree motion from left to right. these can go on and on without any break.see them in the park,see them in a mall or else where.

i guess every one has done this atleast once in their life time coz if some guy doesnt appreciate a girl then this boils down to the very fact that he may not be a guy.correct me if i am wrong.and today i was reading sumwhere that even girls r doing this.what i read was sumwhere like " if a guy is good and cool why shud we not look."sum girl even said that she made sure that the guy doesnt get to knw bout this.so now i shud say rephrase everything by saying that a guy/gal has pendulum eyes for other gal/guy.

just not getting anything to write more for knw.just for the fact that i heard "ajeeb dastaan hain yeh" on fm some 10 minutes ago: Beautiful song.
currently playing on fm "lafzoon mein keh na sakoon" another beautiful song.

such a short post...i guess i need to get some inspiration from Nidhi

In Retro-Spective

2005-09-12T23:43:00.000-07:00

Hi

Considering the fact that i have not blogged from around 25 days at a stretch wat shud i expect from u.Arrey I am asking just for a single cadbury nut and resin chocolate yaar.ok lets bargain....a single perk. :-)

Looking back at the past days things seem to be moving at a fast pace.Let me recall some of the things.

1) On 8 th of August ( yeah u guessed rite...my birthday date) my office friends made sum plan and my good friend Manhar lured me into office cafeteria saying that there r some pretty gals there.that too not from office.now the excitement to see gals that too who r not from office served as a perfect bait for this birthday boy.I walked thru the corridor and meanwise Manhar kept telling me that this girl in this particular dress of this particular colour is seemingly very attractive.(No No my toungue was still not wagging and eyes still not jumping out).As I stepped into the cafeteria my eyes went left and right and then in a faction of second,sorry fraction of nano second to the door behind me to run away as I guessed the crowd of my friends there.But before that many hands grabbed my legs and arms.and there came Thup..One kick ....Thup...Second kick and it continued and continued till these nice souls thought that its enuf now. Well now the surprise cake for me ....which my friends got it for me,I love u all of u guys....Thanks for that day.
me along with two other guys(who also had their birthday) gave a combined treat of Mangal Pandey + Lunch to our group of friends (freshers who joined the office in first batch).

2) I saw Iqbal and found it to be a good movie.Not the same jazziness of movies of now a days.Movie which can inspire u if u want to get inspired.

3) I saw Salaam Namaste.Whoa....Preity looks hot and smart and preety and attractive and and.....sorry but i havent noticed saif too much...
Jokes apart the movie is colourful and fun watch.Saif is emerging as a hero who can potray into a fun loving(Salaam Namaste and Dil Chahta Hai) as well a serious role(Parineeta though i havent seen it) with an equal ease.

4) I saw Ashique Banaya Apne (on cable network at home )...Apart from good songs what does the movie has...Well....

5) I want to see No Entry also.Heard this is a cool movie.

Well thats the update from my side...Hey Vidhi and Neetie I will try my best to be as regular as possible.

Swades...We the people

2005-08-15T23:55:00.001-07:00

Hi

Let me start this post by wishing all of you a very Happy Independence Day.

Ok so what was special today for me...
I know today is Independence day(evn if precisely 30 minutes are left for the clock to tick 12 hrs and 16th August)

I thought of seeing Swades...We the people today as it was coming on star gold.normally i dont watch movies on cable coz of the poor quality of cd.but since the movie was coming on star gold i thot of giving it a try.i wanted to see this movie so thought this was a golden opportunity.

the movie started and i was engrossed in it from the beginning.i think the way Ashutosh Govrikar(this correct spelling is courtesy Google) has presented this movie is really commendable.The Lagaan magic is present in this movie too.

what i really liked was the real fire in the belly of shahrukh khan to do sumthing for the people.
and i think one of the best scenes was when shahrukh khan produced electricity and a bulb lights up in front of an old lady.this movie actually depicted whether we have a government ruling over us but finally this is a democratic government so even we have a share of our activities.

apart from these emotions there were some other kind of emotions too in the movie which r omnipresent in almost all movies.emotions of luv.but i cud clearly see the purity of luv in this movie.no masala numbers no kisses just pure love.and the way this love developed from a small seedling to a full blossomed flower was so exciting to watch.the girl(Geeta) in this movie is lovely to watch.it was so good to watch when she admitted that she has started loving shahrukh.and the way she did was it seemed totally impromptu.the movie clearly shows a saree clad girl can be much more appealing than a girl in short skirt.

i recommend this movie to all of u.u can visit swades for some glimpses.

Star gold has started a project star gold in which if u sms swades to 7827 they would deduct rs 10 from ur account and then star gold itself would also contribute same amount for welfare(bringing electricity) for some poor state.and i guess we shell out our money on snacks and cold drinks so easily then what is stopping us to just sms a single message.

Before wrapping up this post i would like to mention that the emotions shown in the movie are easier enacted in reel life than real life.and this comment includes me you and almost everyone else including our politicians.

I would also like to add that i still dont knw how much patriotic im or how much i want to do for others but one thing is sure...i really liked this movie.

2005-08-02T09:20:00.000-07:00

Hi

Long time i knw...dont worry i will try to be more regular with my blog and ofcourse all of my blogging community.

Whatever im going to post i heard in FM (donna if it was radio mirchi or red fm) and now when i got the same thing in a mail i cant resist posting it.

This is about the lessons which friendship teaches u..and i think whatever i heard and read is pretty tru.and i think if u all also analyze ur friendships u will also find that.I am also adding a bit of my comments in front of each point-so here we go

*There are relationships apart from bf/gf, marriage,siblings,friendship that can be very emotional and true. which is beyond the understanding of many people.(very true considering that a man can have a best friend who is a woman)

*And yeah even though u may be the best of friends there is always a limit which should never be crossed. Then it starts hurting...........(never speak too much about the personal or home front life of ur friend)

*Improving ur imperfections after you realize it, always take some time.(but the important part is that first u recognise ur imperfections)

*Believe in Love , true love will never let you down( it will make u lighter and buoyant so u wud go higher and higher :-) )

*Never be ashamed to go back to your old friends, friends are there to understand your mistakes. (understand as well as correct ur mistakes))

*Do not be afraid of others, always think that others r afraid of you.(Australian Beggar ) (be confident )

*Whenever you need your friend , remember that he is just a phone call away...distances can't separate friends ( distances cant separate but hearts do keep them together)

*In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.(this shows how much a friend matters to us)

*It's the friends you can call up at 4 A. M. that matter.(call him up evn if u want to share ur poor joke with him and disturb his hottest dream of most sizzling babe of remix video )

*The only unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.(very true...this also means u can mend ur strained friendships)

*The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with -never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. (and again come back for some other conversation)

Lets see who will be the lucky one who gonna be the 5000th visitor of my blog...
the prize is a trip for two to Switzerland out of which one person is me and im gonna pay for only one person out of two..

NFS

2005-06-24T12:00:00.001-07:00

For all of u gamin enthusiasts i hope the title is well understood.For others NFS is Need For Speed one of my favourite of games of all times. The time i have spent on this game cannot be counted(who gets a chance to drive a maclaren for free without any thots for fuel prices soaring above 40 Rs/lts).

Coming to my actual thots , this happened on wednesday.

vroom

37.5

Well the above figures have the units of kmph.and it is an actual car driven by me with the fuel price pinching me on my ass.

Now this jhali valla(bhutta valla) comes into the territory of my 4 eyes, 4 eyes coz u can escape from my eyes but not from my 0.75 power glasses.

37.5

The way i sqeaked my car in between of two cars standing in from of jhalli vaala can even put a wagon R ad to shame where they prove the eternal concept of space utilisation.

Got the bhutta for lot less than fuel prices (hey man now im cribbing too much for fuel prices).now the question difficult than mathematics olympiad...shud i eat the bhutta first or drive the car first to my home or do the both.

somehow liked the third option the most

vroom

bhutta on adjacent seat

gear changed

speedometer moving

right hand on steering

left hand went for bhutta

oops a spead breaker

who cares

left turn

no problem with the bhutta in my hand

straight road ahead

have to bring down the gear

but also have to eat the bhutta

so first ate a bit and then changed the gear

eating the bhutta

have to give the indicator

used my right hand to give indiacator

steering free and car under expert guidance of no one.

red light

enjoying my bhutta

lane of my home comes

the revered MCD has dismantled the road as if some alladin ka khazana is there.

just bare enuf space for the car to pass thru

doesnt matter again

bhutta is getting cold (and the car engine getting hot)

parked the car

This was my journey with bhutta (express)

I welcome my very good friend Sameer Pradhan in the board of bloggers.His blog can be found on the right hand side of my blog or here.

Thanks for bearing with this post.

Sleek Bodies

2005-06-17T11:41:00.000-07:00

Hi,

i just cudnt think of an appropriate title of this post so just gave any title which i thot .dont knw how much it suits this post.

just imagine on 15th night at this time one of my hand was on a pretty girl's hand err a compaq laptop.and my eyes were looking another pretty girl sitting in front of me err a TFT flat screen for my PC.well wat happened was that i went to my vendor's home to get my monitor which incidentally has not been repaired from past oops sorry a long time.so he told me to take his TFT screen with me until my monitor gets repaired.its great piece ,shouldnt be called a piece,it has a great body with around one and a half inch width.i just hope he lets me keep it a bit longer altho he is trying his best to get my monitor repaired.

and then i inquired the rates of a laptop from him.(arre rates to main aise hi pooch raha tha).i think evn he guessed it so he asked me pehle range to decide karle.but then he told me to take his compaq laptop with me for a night.the laptop had around 1 hr 15 mins of battery left but when i returned him the next morning it just had 10 mins of battery left(i remember the battery low symbol as if i can transfer my calories to the laptop to satisfy the hunger).

now the real intention why he gave me his laptop.he wanted me to transfer all the software setups from my pc hard disk to his usb hard disk.i tried my best but neither my pc nor the laptop was able to detect the drive.i just hope he believes me coz i was not able to transfer even a single bit of data(arre dont go into bits and bytes).

something good is happening in my friends community.i incidentally started a blog(after my fren rohit kaul started his blog ).rohit is going to give a treat in hyatt coz his blog is soon going to complete first anniversary of (romantic and sensual)marriage with him.so all of u with ur spouses and children r invited.now this blogo mania slowly spread to one of my fren parag.although this happened a long time ago and after that he didnt updated his blog.but its good to see him back to his phiolosophies of Ayn Rand and general trivia.manan who apparently was inspired from me(how can sumone get inspiration from me)also started blogging(expect a lot of truth from his blog coz he is the real truthful person of our batch).this lamp of knowledge soon passed on to my fren neelabh who thot of starting blogging (after being sure that now he has nothing else to study academically till he joins either tamu or iimi.i just hope he continues blogging).and then there came this BBC news on our yahoo grp that sameer has started blogging.(this news was spread by him only).neverthless blogging is addictive and self spreading.

i just hope all of my friends continue blogging.i really like all of my friends a lot and love talking to all of them and i think when we wont get time to talk regularly then this is the only channel of information transfer.

Hi
Enuf of chapped lips of mine which gave an impression of me eating kracjack biscuits as soon as i opened my mouth to speak ( sorry for exagerration but i hope it helped u to estimate the weather at Delhi )

So May 29th , Time 2000 hrs ,Location ISBT , our group of 9 friends went for a trip to Dharamshala and Mcleodganj.

we guys actually took the Volvo bus, one of the best buses i have travelled in.now pls dont think that after travelling in DTC buses i would say that any other bus is good.the volvo buses actually gave me a taste of luxury with dedicated AC wents above each seat.now someone was telling me that these buses cost @ around 70-80 lacs.

we reached Dharamshala at around 0700 hrs the next day. went to mcleodganj( 7kms from there).weather there was good and a relief for all of us.strolled and roamed around for the whole day. the best part was the water fall.the water was chilling.the monestry was very good with an environment providing lots of tranquality and peace.the st john church was also very good.mcleodganj actually is famous for its tibetan culture and food( parag do u remember ur tibetan burger).lots of Israelis can be seen strolling around on the streets.there are many ameriacans and europeans also but israelis definitely steal the show.lots of budhhist in their red clothes give a feeling of Budhhism culture.

next day we planned to go to palampur a place 35 kms from dharamshala but cudnt go thanks to our lavish eating style.we guys actually had our lunch for such a long time that if we went to palampur we wudnt have made at the time of departure of our bus to delhi from dharamshala.so we decided to spend our time in dharamshala and hired a sumo for exploring some popular tourist sites like a temple, tea garden and a war memorial.

the return journey was not very exciting with our grp not getting the volvo tickets and we came in a non AC bus.the journey for sure made all of my bones and muscles exercise hard during the return journey.

the USB port of my pc is not working.so not sure when i cud post the pics

so Here I Am back to Delhi and back to my blog.

Hard(ware) has no Soft corner

2005-05-27T12:28:00.000-07:00

Some of the past days have been really tough catering to the outrageous demands of my P.C. ( personal computer ). Before going into details have a look at the vital stats of my PC.
P III 933 Mhz ( since the current speeds r in Ghz I should use 0.933 Ghz )
256 MB RAM
CD writer
CD ROM,
15” colour Monitor
20 GB Hard disk
H.P. 3 in 1 Printer , Scanner and copier
and other essentials like floppy drive, speakers etc

now all the trouble started when I was to reload my Linux RHL 8.0. so when I was doing it it showed my hard disk contains bad sectors. So I partitioned my harddisk further from 2 partitions to 4 partitions with strange sizes like 7.53 GB ,6.55 GB, 1.94 GB and 2.92 GB. Strange na…..

but trouble didn’t end here with the linux not willing to accept any of my sectors ( the adamant daemon ) . the linux and my partitioning software finally managed to get in the priviledged areas of XP and even uninstalled it. So I had to reload my XP.

After that I have reloaded my XP innumerable times , sometimes with the intervals as short as changing clothes.

Next turn was of my monitor

My monitor one day became complete blank which reminded me of my mind as it is sometimes—completely blank. The monitor is with my vendor who has not returned it from past 15-20 days and im using his old archaic and vintage monitor which shows red colour as black ( oh Gmail I have forgot ur real face ) .

Since one things leads to other….so one fine day trying to take some printouts I realized that my USB port is not detecting my printer. So today I have been exploring various driver sites in the hope of getting a proper driver ( XP is not providing the drivers and this has happened for the first time with me )

Oh I forgot to add my PC is going to be around 3.5 yrs old.

Seems like my PC Hardware is behaving real hard with me.

The story of Relationships

2005-05-22T00:34:00.000-07:00

Hi

Im back with my boring theory of relationships.

Having written my last post and getting really good and thoughtful comments from fellow bloggers I thought of delving further in the world of relationships of what I have gone thru and all.

So before writing some more bout relationships I would like to share a personal experience of mine with you.

So it all happened while I was in school. There was this guy (G) with me from class tenth onwards. I remember spending hours with him solving Olympiad questions of mathematics. He was no doubt an intelligent guy and I appreciated this fact of him. I thot we both were good friends but never knew he had something else in his mind. Anyways he got better marks than me in tenth. No regrets.

Then came eleventh. It passed smoothly with me beating him up(as far as I remember)(beating not munnabhai style but using my pen). I still remember during parent teacher meeting her mother was concerned more bout how others have fared in exams rather than how her son has performed. This was documented by the fact that she always used to look in other students report cards with much more interest.

Then came twelfth. And something happened which was not in a very good taste atleast for me. Actually I used to prepare for IITJEE from VidyaMandir’s Books. I used to carry them to school so tha I could study them in my free time. Wat used to happen was that whenever I used to come back from my morning assembly those books were always taken from my bag by someone and always kept in my bag in afternoon. Finally the mystery was solved with the revealation that this great work was that of G. he used to do this so that I should not study in my free time in school.

My conclusion: the competition in real world is really fierce and can be nasty if not handled properly.

Let me talk about types of people:
1) people who are always for u selflessly and helpfully, best candidates for becoming friends for life.
2) people who are always in their own world , I mean not concerned bout anyone else even in a malignant way.
3) People who pretend that they are your best friends but think something else in their minds. They are friends just for a purpose.
4) People who would suddenly stop talking to you when they want and would suddenly again start talking to u when they want (all this they do shamelessely )
5) People who are ur friends in their own way. I mean they are good friends until they have to go out of the for maintaining the friendship. Most of the people fall under this category.

i would say avoid people of 3rd and 4th category

let me finish up my post recalling one more incident:

near my home there stands this mother dairy icecream vendor and just in front of him a vadilla vendor.now i usually go their to have a stick of icecream but what i have realised is that vadilla vendor is alwayz sitting idle whereas the mother dairy one is counting currency notes.actually one day i felt bad because of this and went to vadilla vendor and had my icecream.to my surprise vadilla is offering some real good schemes like 1 candy bar free with one choco bar etc.but still no one is attracted to vadilla vendor.but i still prefer mother dairy.may be coz i find its quality better.vadilla one writes "vadilla : icecream of India " but its for sure that "its not icecream of my locality "

my conclusion : Most people do what other people are doing.coz they feel they are safe this way.

Entangling Bonds

2005-05-15T19:19:00.000-07:00

Hi

Wats going on in my mind is world of relationships.by relationships i dont just mean boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife.it also includes the relationship between a shopkeeper and customer,doctor and a patient et al.
The more one tries to go into relationships the more confusing the path.(arre pls im not talking about solving an integral or a n-ary equation).the more one tries to be cautious with the relationships the more he is doomed to be on a wrong path.actually lot has been told to me by my close one's bout their experiences and it has made me delve into this theory.
Let me give u an experience of my friend.
F(friend),NA(neighbour aunty),AD(aunty's daughter)

Time:i dont knw .pls assume
Day and Date(and month,year):pls assume,
Venue:neighbourhood of F

this is wat happened

(F taking out his car to go sumwhere)

NA:bete can u just drop us in case ur not going out of the way.
F: no problem aunty,pls sit

(NA and AD sit in)

NA:im really sorry ,we r giving u trouble.
F:arrey aunty afterall a neighbour only helps other neighbour(gud neighbours still exist!!!!!!!)

(now F drops them to a place which was actually 5-6 kms out of the way for him.)
some more details:all thru the way F behaved in the most decent way and cracking 1-2 jokes in the way
next day AD and F came in front of each other in a market,

F:hi,how ru
AD:fine
F:i hope u reached ur destination properly
AD:yes yes (in a nasty way)(and behaving as if she is busy in signing India Pakistan peace treaty)
F:i really felt good in helping u both yesterday
AD:dont worry i have already told my mom not to take ur help in ur future.
F:standing there as she went by....

now as soon as my fren told me all this even i was in silence for a moment.i just cudnt think why she has done this.hey psychology students(or anyone), u can lend a page from ur 1000 page book on human minds.

wat i feel in general is that world today has become more carefree i mean people dont care bout others in general.whatever goin on is good until it is beneficial for them,now this is sumthing strange for me coz in general i alwaz try to help others.

My Blog Plays

2005-05-10T12:53:00.000-07:00

Hi

Huh strange title........

Yes my blog plays but not with Sania Mirza(will lose the game) , not with someone's hair( its sticky,hair and care nahin lagaya kya) , not with the tummy (uh dont touch,i will eat less now) , not with the money(aaj nakad kal udhar) and ofcourse not with food(khao pio aish karo). but still i wud say it plays...........yeah it plays with ur autistic components i.e. ur ears.

I am including a facility in my blog to hear to music of some of my favourite tracks.

All u have to do is to send a tweeky tiny winy electric current in ur mind (it will be done automatically if u have the desire) which will guide ur reflex actions to move ur right hand (for some may be left) on the mouse and click the play button on the right panel of my blog.And then the 1000cc engine in my blog's server will roar to action and play the track.

Ofcourse i have not included this facility by default (i.e. as soon as the page loads the music will not play) coz not many people will have the required volts to excite the brain cells to listen to music.jokes apart many people would sometimes like to read my blog in tanhayi ( if im writing somethig serious) did i said serious........arrey yeah im both a serious and humourous person though not at same time.

currently played by jukebox is the track music of "Like a prayer" by Madonna.One of my favourites.i posted the lyrics of this song sumtimes back in a post titled New Developments April 23.

Adieu II

2005-05-04T12:00:00.000-07:00

Hey
So im back to take u into the enthralling and exhilarating world of my Second Farewell Party.so this time the party was arranged in OPUS Priya complex.for non delhites visitor to my blog Priya is one of the well known places in Delhi to chill out.so the scene of something like this:we (i mean our grp) reached OPUS at 7:30 .scheduled time was 8:00 pm.( we can be late for our class in college but we are never late for parties :) :) ).

The crowd gathering was like 140 people.arrey our college's strength is about 550 people but since this was a paid party , so not many were willing to pay their sweet money.The ambience was great and so was the crowd .There was every thing unlimited.U knw OPUS is a disc so even the dance was unlimited which ofcourse tired me.T he party went on till 12:30.

I wud say anyday that seeing Delhi at night and day is similar to seeing 'ur dulhan at night and day'.i luv Delhi for its great roads and ofcourse great people.we went to barista saket after that.i had a coffee there( hot cappuciono barista to be precise).hanged out there till about 4:00 am .singing ali haider's purani jeans song while one of the pal playing on the guitar.man the feeling was great.

after that we all went to comesome at nizammudin.well its a nice place and best part is that like barista saket(and iit) it is also open 24 hrs.all thru our journey from OPUS to comesome it was like we all were in a huge grp.its so much of fun in a big group having fun.

im sharing some of the pics with u.the first three are from grad party and rest r general pics taken in college.do comment.

luv

Adieu I

2005-05-02T12:32:00.000-07:00

Hi

You all must be thinking why am i coming up with such an obscure title "Adieu I". well actually adieu is a french word for farewell and considering the fact that im a romantic person from heart and soul i have to choose french. im gonna sum up my experiences for farewell party.but then why adieu I.Well the reason is simple.we had two farewell parties.so im gonna describe bout our farewell party I in this post.

Well this was the official party given to us by our college in the campus itself.by the word of mouth i heard that our principal has given some huge amounts for the party to be organised.well i will anyday say that DCE is quite well off if extra curricular activities r considered.

Actually our group was confused before the party so as to go in formals or informals.but since we all are day scholars (a lingo for non hostellers) and it was not possible for all of us to go back and have our formals so we decided to remain in our jeans/tshirts etc.when the party started it was indeed strange for me (dont knw bout the grp) as most of the people were in formals.it was kindda "man its my party and im in informals".but then i knew there is another farewell party in the pipeline and wont take any chances for that day.

Then there was this felicitation function in which titles were given to hostellers.dont knw why all the day scholars were left out for titles.day scholars are also equal part of the college.may be people r more familiar with the hostellers so giving titles to them is easier.

After that we all came into the groovy mood when the DJ started.considering that music turns me on and i luv partying i was enjoyin the moments.the night went on and we all were so busy in dancing that we forgot that behind the tent there was another category of students who considered food more important than dance.and as a result u can guess what i got was some chapatis and gravy.

The night went on by sitting at the roof top of the hostel till 3am and enjoying life,sharing all the things of past years etc etc.

Well im sorry im not posting pics in this post but i promise that in the next series of farewell party II i wont disappoint u .actually no pics were clicked on a digi camera on the first party.keep visiting this blog , as i have a nice collection of pics of next farewell party.

Luv
SaUrAbH

Height of coincidence

2005-04-26T11:43:00.000-07:00

hey
guys im not gonna write sum cheap and cliched joke here for height of coincidence(or in technical terms synchronization).

so whoever expecting some joke can just do a little exercise by bringing the cursor to close sign.(top right corner)

guys im actually writing sumthing bout Abraham Lincoln(AL) and John F Kennedy(JFK).

AL was elected to congess in 1846
JFK was elected to congress in 1946

AL was elected president in 1860
JFK was elected president in 1960

Both presidents were shot on Friday
Both presidents were shot in the head
Both were assassinated by Southerners

Lincoln's secretary name was Kennedy
Kennedy's secretary name was Lincoln

Andrew Johnson who succeeded Lincold was born in 1808
Lydon Johnson who succeeded Kennedy was born in 1908

Now im gonna write sumthing weird

Lincoln was shot at the theatre named "Ford"
Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln" made by "Ford"

sumthing even more weird

A week before AL was shot he was in Monroe,Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot he was with Monroe(Marilyn Monroe)

New Developments

2005-04-23T03:37:00.000-07:00

hi

some new developments in my life:

1)got another job in hughes software system.got a mail today informing of the same.

2)a fully tired body after a leg breaking dance in my farewell party and gup shup till 3 am at top floor of hostel.

3)looking forward to grad party at opus,priya complex.(i wud like to add i sumtimes find strange when students refuse to shell out rs 500/- for a grad party even though they know that its their party and they r graduating).

4)listening to "Like a prayer" by madonna.this is one good song.actually i have played it again and again during my drives from home->college-->eating joint with friends-->home. :-) and occasionaly home-->college-->home

5)my whole body is shivering at 10000spm coz of the final yr project.for all u uninformed spm means shivers per minute( a new term coined by me aka Einstein).

6)i have started realising that days of college r cuming to end.and it was so much fun.we have started so many groups orkut,hi5,bebo,yahoo group,birthday alarm and also a batch diary.

7)not to forget end of all semester exams.actually its end semester exams but since this is our last sem i can easily say end of all semester exams.

8)got this addiction to watch movies on my new dvd player.wat a combination end sems+dvds.

9)the visitors on my blog have increased by a good amount but to balance it number of comments on my blog have also decreased.quite unlike me who likes commenting a lot (and acknowledging them).

i wud like to wrap up this post with lyrics of "Like a prayer"

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

enjoy life

Human Psychology

2005-04-08T05:20:00.000-07:00

Hi

my left arm was aching too much yesterday,kindda lot of excertion yesterday.i applied a pain relieving oil there.and slept
when i waked up i was alrite(i forgot i had a pain)
then when i was having breakfast suddenly i remembered oh shit i was having lotsa pain yesterday
and within 10 sec of my thinking that pain came back.and its still aching.

morale:
never think of negative thinking coz the more u think of them the more they will attack urself.
as an implication i can say even if ur facing failures in life always think of the moment when u gonna pass the harsh test of destiny and get that success.

at this moment i can remember a wonderful song by madonna ---prayer

life is a mystery
everyone must stand alone
i hear u call my name
and i feels like....

Whats up in my life

2005-04-01T08:07:00.000-08:00

hi

wanted to tell u all that finally im buying a sony projection tv x20 32" with 4000w woofer for rs 1,69,000.but the dealer is a very good friend of mine so he has agreed to give me a discount for 15,000.cool na

also my relative has gone to singapore.he is bringing for me a philips dvd player and an olympus digital camera

hey i also finished doing my final yr project today.code is all ready and running stage.now im upto optimising it.so much of hardwork has gone into it

i was surfing net when it was written on a news site that a very strong snow fall has happened in kashmir today.it is going to affect the weather in chandigarh and shimla tomm and finally delhi on day after tomm.so it predicts that all the flights in delhi will be cancelled on day after tomm coz of the hail stroms.

i went to palika bazaar and bought some 15 dvds and friends season (1-10) all for less than 1000.good na

did i mentioned that today is april fool's day.so pls verify the credibility of all of the above news.

i just wanted to see a smile on all of my friends face.

Miscellaneous

2005-03-31T13:35:00.000-08:00

hi
im thinkin bout a lot of things so lets title it as miscellaneous.

well for today i saw zeher with my friends.oh wat shud i say.all the films from bhatt salon like zeher,murder and jism have the same theme.infidelity is the name of the game.and still the movies r hit.so if we go by rules of nescafe advertisment that "one thing leads to another" then we have the conclusion "infidelity is hit nowadays".but i cant agree much.may be coz its not my nature or may be i think these things get potrayed in big screen only.

another thing is going in my mind.is it good to be frank and totally clear bout ur thoughts (as im most of the times) or go for an obstructive and closed nature where u say something and mean sumthing else.i have had some criticism from some of my frens.but then i feel all my friends are very important for me( i dont knw what they think for me) so it is best that they shud knw each and every thot/aspect of mine.but this doesnt mean that one shud be always frank.on some occassions which can lead to consequences of hurtin others leaving permanent indelible marks one can always take a lighter and polite(sorry diplomatic) path.but on occassions like if i have started liking someone or if i wud like sumone to accompany me to a bday party, i think i wont miss a moment and definitely convey my feelings to her(most probably her yaar).

rite now on media player(repeated for 7th time):"woh lamhe woh baatein koi na jaane" from zeher.

one stanza from this song is particularly close to me.
"saagar ki gehrai se gehra hai apna pyaar
sehraaon ki in hawaaon mein kaise aayegi bahaar"

My hughes experience

2005-03-28T21:16:00.000-08:00

Hi guys
U all have been writing a lot bout ur interviews.its ok if i havent got any calls :-( the indian government has given me rights to write bout my experiences also so im gonna write about my hughes interview which i had yesterday.(where r the smilies man)

Lets start
My interview was at 11 : 30 am.but i was sleeping till 9 am as if someone has given me a dose of tranqilisers.ok waked up at 9 and reached the centre in gurgaon at around 11:15.

My first tryst at hughes was with the pretty receptionist. Me told “mam i have lost my employement form.can i get a new form”. Which i got and then filled it and gave her .she told me to wait for my panel.there i cud see 2 students from my class and 2 guys from ice 2 (dnt knw their name).all other guys were from premiere institutes like rec jaipur,kurukshetra,bits pilani,iiit and more.i just roamed arund a bit and then i saw my friend pavan there,talked with him and he went for lunch.till then my turn hadnt came,then i saw one of ice2 student who said he has been rejected in the interview.scared me.....i thot of going back home but i thought i cant afford to leave the free lunch given by hughes.hehe

i was waiting desperately for my interview(yaar bakra halaal hona hi hai to jaldi ho).both of my coll mates got their call before me and one of them evn got rejected before me.but i was cool as i was in a sleepy effect of the free (so more) food which i had.so i was kindda sleeping on the sofa.suddenly my call came.ok guys im not delving into technical details coz u all r management gurus.my tech interview lasted for 40 mins and i think i gave 85% of answers .interview went well.

i came outside and had a chat with others.at that point they told my other dce friend to go home without hr interview.i thot i shud pack my bags now and go back.at that time i again saw pavan who came to meet.exactly at that point a hr person came and called me for hr interview.interview went really well but in the end some crap happened when she came to knw i had a job in induslogic and her mouth remained open as if i have to close it myself.altho i tried to convince her that java is not my cup of tea(induslogic works on java) and i want to work on c and after flextronics hughes has become a big brand etc etc.they gave me a gift while coming back.

i think i shudnt have mentioned bout indulsogic.

lets c wat happens.everyone who got gift there was very confident but i knw every one there was having only one job.result to be declared later.

Child pleasures

2005-03-23T11:35:00.000-08:00

Have u ever observed the life of a child so pure no malice no revenges just pure luv and pure fun . thoughts of a child r never impure never to show off just pure and tru thoughts.if a baby is showing affection to his mother just think this is 100% affection,. Sometimes i feel like how good it to be in place of a child.

I can recall an incident which just happened yest.i was in a temple and saw a girl child of about 1.5-2 yrs. Standing at a side , she was observing all the peoples the way they were coming and strinking the bell.then she came and stood below the bell.and tried hard 2 times to hit the bell which was 7 feet above the ground.and then she saw her mother in a silent tone and conveyed some message to her and uttered a single word “jai”.it was all it took for the mother to understand a child . so pure.

And all this time i was observing this little baby when she was observing all other people. Seems i was as much intrigued as she was.

Survival.Survival.Survival

2005-03-05T01:41:00.000-08:00

Hi

Sometimes I feel awfully bad about the pressure from the society .and yes in this pressure I don’t think I wud include peer pressure or college friends coz I think im in a really harmonious relation with all my college mates. But this pressure which I feel from the world as a whole I feel its awful to be in this situation.I always feel that I wud help anybody even if it wud generate competition for me (winning challenges r good yeah) but then wen the opposite side feels the contradictory that helping will increase their chances of failure.Hiding ofcampus interviews , and ofcourse the class notes and documents , showing false empathy, and wat else.(this all is done not by my class friends but by outside college friends) .wow

Oh lord this world is for only those who r the best and who can defeat the weak.

Camilla cant be Diana II

2005-03-02T09:45:00.000-08:00

hey
for all those of who dont knw Camilla Parker Bowles is going to be the new royal princesss of England.but do u think that the heavy princess word really fit in for camilla.ofcourse not.camilla is far from a princess and indeed she knws it properly.and even she must be thinking "Am i worth it"?do u all knw that she has almost gone a complete body alterations coz she was a misfit in the queen family(According to elizebeth). All over the england nasty polls r going on and the max which 57 yr old camilla has got is 3 points in a scale of 10.

but wat bout charles.do u think seeing his description , camilla is fated enough to get such treatment. as quoted by shobhaa de " is charles an adonis himself? can he ever qualify as a stud muffin?does brad pitt need to lose sleep over sex appeal challenge from prince? the bonny prince is a peculiar loooking fellow with a loppy grin , bad teeth and of course those flappy ears that look like someone has hastily stuck them to the sides of his head.) but lets analyze i think this was the reason for his disastrous marriage with diana.she being a mistress of beauty and charles ofcourse cudnt compete with her.but with camilla i think the 56 yr old prince aptly balances the modest beauty of camilla.Camilla's strength lies in being herself.
Wishing them a happy married life.

hi
i was just coontemplating on the fact which brnd of the market will boast of increasing sales day by day even when the top management is doing aggressive negative campaigning for the brand. quite an intricate theory ,cant imagine any sort of this theory teaching in any of the iims.yes my friends all the world is doing negative publicity of the brand . only one genre of brand can enjoy such success ---yes my friends the ever inevitable cigarette,gutka and tobacco etc.i remember first the cigarette cartons used to carry the warning that "cigarette smoking is injurious to health " but now it carries the warning "cigarette smoking causes cancer" . even the paan vaals have big big hoarding which market that smoking causes cancer,still the moment i entered the college and till date ie roughly three and a half yrs i have seen three and a half times more paan vaalas at every nukad and corner , every year more and more freshers (in my coll and every other coll )trying smoking and as they pass out becoming chain smokers.may be its peer pressure,society ,need to get the kick or to enjoy the moment. wat i feel is that even if u wana try above things (let it be smoking , gutka etc) keep it restrained to once in a while or when in a grp.just be sure of the fact that things need to be corrected when u start carrying a pack of cigarettes in ur pocket.

test3 (am i in a right job)

Saurabh, the Right Job for you will allow you to be:

Strategic and Creative

As a Strategic type, you want to be able to express yourself and your ideas through work. Sure there's a time and place for rules and procedures, but when a good thought strikes you, you don't want it to be boxed into one way of thinking. You're willing to go outside the rules if there's a chance that the risk will reap big rewards.

You are stronger than most when it comes to generating ideas. And because of this, it might sometimes feel easier to take on all aspects of a job yourself instead of wasting time explaining it to someone else who might not "get it" like you do. But because you have so many ideas and are willing to take on so much, you might find that you sometimes have trouble finishing every project you start.

Your diplomacy and adaptability make you a valuable asset. But your need to feel invested in a company that allows you to express your original ways of thinking will ultimately impact how happy you are in the workplace

these tests were good
thanks rohitj

theory of "the self and the other"

2005-02-10T01:52:00.000-08:00

hi

i was just thinking of the parts in which a human mind is divided and well i remembered the chapter in the book "besides the river piedra i sat and wept".so just goin to put forwars my thoughts --->

a human mind is basically divided into two parts the self and the other.what the other always does is satisfy others wishes without the prior confirmation from the self.this is where the unhappiness and agonies of a person start.because he is always trying to satisfy others ,eventually a point will come when he will start hating his life, because he has not done anything for himself/herself.for example suppose ur friends or ur parents want u to do sumthing and u do it just because they want it.agreed initially u will be happy but a point will come when always doing things for others will make u hate urself and then u will lose the grace in ur life and will start thinking that when i have done 100 things for others why not 101st thing and then it will go on in an arithmetic progression.i knw a few of my friends who r happy the way life flows for them and they dont try to change it or make the life flow as they wish.why coz they have always done what others want (i.e. parents or friends) and not thought at one point that another portion of their mind exists.

oops enough for other now sumthing for self.

ok so talking bout the self portion of mind----->
it is basically that portion of ur mind where ur happiness lies.it is that portion which comes to work when u do something which u love to do contrary to the other portion which comes to work when u do something which others like.this self portion has the capacity to make u luv and cherish ur life coz that portion is for ur self.for example suppose ur parents want that u shud become engineer /doctor and then in that quest u will take non med/med (ur other portion is working) , start workin for entrances and all the while ur parents r thinking they have taken a wise decision for their progeny.then a point will come when u will perform dismal in ur entrances ,u score equally bad in ur boards and then their comes the self portion.u will break all the shackles of other portion and will take the stream u like (for exp fashion designing or commerce etc) and thn comes the time when self starts working and u will start performing brilliantly in life( tak the case of tendulkar who was a bad student but is a master blaster in his field).

so my friends let the other go into dormancy and bring the self in action and show ur self a path to happy life.

i think this is one of my best post ever( see my modesty hehe)

saurabh

p.s. dont confuse this concept of self with the concept of egoism,both r entirely different concepts.

Eventful beginning to feb

2005-02-04T09:31:00.000-08:00

Hi
Well I knw that im blogging after a long time.ya its quite a long time coz normally I feel like blogging every 72th hour(at max). but don’t knw coz im not in lot of mood for blogging these days.don’t knw may be a lot depends on overall stability since these days im in a distress reason vahi as usual academics------our college sent us a mail that the winter training report to be submitted by 24th feb .and another shocking news on this mind(which is like a pile of cards) that we have to do a Btech project from a list of 17 faadu projects.( if u want I can paste the complete list terrible faadu and heart attack list in the next post but on public demand).arre bhai einstein samajh rakha hai kya.

But every cloud has a silver lining.Another good thing happened.we friends a grp of 9 went on a great day on 2nd feb (11days before v-day hehe).well for the day first we spent our day in mocha’s GK great ambience and we ordered the apple hooka and 2 vertigos(the flag ship menu item).but I don’t knw after just ordering these 3 items how cum the bill ran upto 600+. Then we went to The supper factory and well I shud say I absolutely luv the music and darkness there.i was careful to be a sober guy in tsf coz I had to then join my parents in the revolving restaurant for a dinner.and guess I managed to remain almost sober.well again with cheap drinks bill went to 1167.dont knw how.who says tsf is cheap.so quite an eventful beginning to feb.

Rite now im listening to “I want to break free……….” By queens.man I shud say I struggled to get hold of this song so much when I cudnt find it on any site for dwnload.and im in luv with this song from past 2 yrs.

Quite a meaningless post but that is life sumtimes.

Enjoy

cheers to blogging

2005-01-29T22:59:00.000-08:00

hi
i was reading this article on rediff and just thought bout sharing it

Blogging: An insider's view

January 29, 2005

Severe withdrawal symptoms. I haven't blogged for several -- oh wait, still Friday is it? -- well, several hours then. No new comments on the Parveen Babi tribute I posted either. (Refresh refresh. Nope.)

What's worse, a colleague just peered over the partition at me and sweetly asked. "Don't you ever run out of things to gossip about in your bog?"

Wanted to bop her over the head, but the nearest blunt instrument was a couple of arms-lengths away, which would've meant deserting the computer.

The angst of the never-understood! How to tell an uncomprehending world that a blog isn't mere gossip?

What is it, then?

Well, the first thing you have to understand is that a blog can be mere gossip -- or even just a flippant, self-indulgent online diary with entries that run "9.58 AM: scratched my back; 9.59 AM: regarded the plaster peeling off the ceiling." We bloggers, even the most serious of us, aren't snooty about these things.

But there's a serious side too...

Dismiss blogging as a personal exercise of no real consequence though, and you'll be alienating yourself from one of the most dynamic global communication media around.

"Blog" was Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year for 2004, and it isn't for nothing that blogging has inspired lengthy articles in international media of late.

Around the world there's a growing recognition that it's being done by intelligent people and that there are communities out there networking passionately -- exchanging ideas and sharing information on every topic imaginable.

...And they can make a difference

Take the phenomenal success of the Tsunami Help blog in mobilising concerned citizens across countries, providing updates on relief operations (including the text of SMSes sent by people present at the devastated sites) and supplying information faster, and better, than mainstream media could.

Enough preaching; how to start?

Have learnt a valuable lesson about not procrastinating. I put off starting a blog for several months because I was convinced a) the technology would be beyond my handling and b) I wouldn't have anything of interest to say.

Now that I've started, I realise how silly I was.

Even with a slow Net connection, this is ridiculously easy. And yesterday, just as I'd posted a few scattered thoughts on a movie I'd seen, I got an appreciative comment from this amateur filmmaker based in Los Angeles -- his name's even listed on the Internet Movie Database!

Welcome to the global village, Jabberwock.

Sites like the Google-owned blogspot.com (also known as blogger.com) or Rediff have the simplest, most user-friendly interfaces.

All you have to do is choose a username and password, enter a few basic things about yourself, choose from the template options (this defines the look of your site) and start posting.

Yes, it's all free; we're not talking about personal homepages you have to pay for with a credit card. And if you have anything even remotely interesting to say, you'll be surprised at the speed with which someone will respond.

What can I post?

Have I finished my daily quota of four posts? Let's see -- there's the 2,000-word analysis of the new Booker Prize winner, the tasteless rant against Julia Roberts, the teary tribute to my first cat who would've turned 25 today…and, of course, this one.

Don't constrain yourself -- write on whatever catches your fancy, or simply hyperlink to something interesting you've read on the Internet.

Of course, there are bloggers who pick one topic and turn their site into a dedicated one-stop space for visitors interested in that subject (if you think no one reads or discusses books anymore, for instance, you'll be astonished at the quality and variety of literary blogsites in cyberspace).

And others, the ones with plenty of time and Internet access, maintain several blogs at a time, neatly organising their writings by subject, in what amounts to a Virtual filing system.

Advanced blogging

Once you're comfortable with the medium, you'll want to see what else it can do. Apart from basic text postings, most servers will give you the option of posting images on your site as well.

A basic HTML code will allow you to put up links to other people's blogs on your site; this will, inevitably result in cross-linking and increased traffic on your site.

Monitoring traffic

What's Google up to now? Someone who did a search for "grandmothers having tantric sex with marsupials" was directed to my clean-as-cucumber site?!

Websites like sitemeter.com or blogpatrol.com allow you to track the number of visitors to your blog, and even provide detailed information like who else has been linking to your site and the Google searches that lead people to your space. But the WWW works in mysterious ways, so don't be distressed by any of the findings!

Oh yes, you're an addict now

Just returned from an interview with the Delhi chief minister for this big page-one story I'm working on. Editor is frothing at the mouth; I have a one-hour deadline.

But first I'm going to take out 10 minutes for a quick post about these enormous black bats I saw -- dozens of them -- hanging upside down in a tree in the CM's garden. Whence do they come, what is their purpose, does she keep them as pets?

You'll know you're a blog addict if you find your senses heightened to everything around you -- and when, each time you see or hear something remotely out of the ordinary, your first thought isn't "That's interesting!" but "Whoa! Where's the nearest computer?"

There is a real world

Had an informal bloggers' get-together last evening. Met Putu the Cat, The Griffin, The Marauding Mapster, Writer-in-Exile and Black Muddy River in person for the first time.

We studied each other awkwardly at first; stripped of the colourful cyber-identities, what dour creatures we are! But a couple of drinks helped loosen formality's strings and soon we were chattering away like old friends: books, films, the tsunami, the World Bank, idle gossip.

It was fun. Must meet again soon, in the real world, which is where all the rum and kebabs are.

Those who fear that compulsive blogging can turn you into a sociopath, living life only on the computer, have a point; such is, after all, the nature of the Internet.

But eventually the decision not to be sucked into the Machine is in your own hands, the way it is with any other addiction.

Most dedicated bloggers are aware of the pitfalls -- which is why there are bloggers' forums everywhere now, dedicated groups of like-minded people who make it a point to build friends' networks and to meet, face to face, on a regular basis.

Careful...

Oops. Just ran into a senior executive in public relations at a book discussion; she wagged her finger at me and said reprovingly, "I read what you wrote about PR people on your blog. Very bad." Discreet, discreet, Jabberwock.

It's easy to forget sometimes that blogs are a public forum (unless you've elected to make your profile private), and that anyone can stumble upon your distilled thoughts through another link or even a Google search.

So be careful what you write, and about whom. Avoid bitching about your co-workers for starters, or making disclosures about the company you work for — people have been fired for that sort of thing!

But you can delete...

One of the attractive things about a blog is that you can always go back and modify, or even delete, a post that you're ashamed of, for whatever reason.

Arundhati Roy -- she who said "How can you breathe the same breath twice?" -- might disapprove of such revisionism, but hey, on your blogspace you're the god of all things.

nature calls

2005-01-29T09:32:00.000-08:00

hi friends

well that day (after seeing kisna) I was talking to my parents that I have never seen the tru natural beauty of India closely

now wat made me think bout this was the absolute beauty of the scenic beauties in the movie.

Be it pryagraj, be it rishikesh or the beautiful breathtaking aarti happening in haridwar during evening.just took my heart away.the very beauty of India free of pollution just free flowing blue and pure water.must be a paradise.i was just imagining myself rafting there in rishikesh(ofcourse with little fear for my life) but then to enjoy the life needs some guts.

Will definitly like to visit there.also I was thinking that I have never seen flaking snow in reality .shame for me coz living so close to shimla and still haven’t got this chance.may be this is destiny.i think this post of mine hasnt made any sense.i feel so.

Coming back to the results well after dismal 98.22 in CAT I knew this year wasn’t mine,so never mind.with 63.45% in XAT and no name in FMS this has to happen.with 110 attempts in fms taking 80% accuracy i knew im not gonna make thru.
So wat im looking forward is to my job but first complete my engg (hopefully I will),

Cheers
Saurabh

aham brahmasmi
aham brahmasmi

mujh mein shiv hai
mujh mein brahma
mujh mein vishnu
mujh mein krishna
fir main kaahe mandir jaaon

dharti ambar parvat saagar
main jid dekhoon usko paaon
fir main kaahe mandir jaaon

aham brahmsmi
aham brahmsmi

yeh shristi uska sapna
har vyakti uska apna
bhagwan ko jo paana hai
prem ki maala hi japna
saans saans har dhadkan dhadkan
prem ke geet hi gaata jaaon
fir main kaahe mandir jaaon

so did u liked this
i hope yes
well my next post will be inspired from this movie coz this gave me a good view of a place called prayagraaj.its a place from where Ganga originates and a culmination point of Kosi and some other river.must say i die to be there once.

keep watching the space and how was the song

Diplomatic yours

2005-01-19T10:38:00.000-08:00

Hi

yups I am back this time with something refreshing

Well I am into doctors these dayst be astonished by doctors I mean I am reading Erich seagal's doctors say amazing book. Previously I thought it wud be a boring book about life of graduated doctors in professionals my surprise it is one of the most refreshing and page turner book I have ever read (except day Vinci code).

First of all this book depicts the life of students in Harvard medical school (yup u heard it right). Along with black circles under eyes and endless cramming they also indulge themselves in other normal activities like drinking,smoking , and others hope u understand others means.........

This book also taught me how important it is to be diplomatic .I mean how to handle worst situations in the most diplomatic way like breaking the news of someone's demise to his wife or blood relation.

Also I learned that it is very important to say no and yes when u feel like saying no and yes coz there is no point saying something which u wont be able to keep upto,I think I lack this quality coz I cant say no to anyone.even if I cant accommodate someone I wud definitely agree to his /her request even if time doesnt permits. Why the hell im like that. But yes im working on this bad quality of mine.

Before finishing off this blog wanna knw something!!!!!
Of every new batch of wud be doctors in Harvard medical school 4-6 commit suicides due to the intolerable pressure of the medical school.....
digest it
another tradition of med school.the marks whic hr put up in the notice board r eventually burned by tip of cigerrates.kool na

p.s. im browsing the web page of Harvard medical school because im too impressed by this revered school and its traditions.Harvard Medical School

Na maen momin vich maseet aan
Na maen vich kufar diyan reet aan
Na maen paakaan vich paleet aan
Na maen moosa na pharaun.

Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen andar ved kitaab aan,
Na vich bhangaan na sharaab aan
Na vich rindaan masat kharaab aan
Na vich jaagan na vich saun.

Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun.

Na vich shaadi na ghamnaaki
Na maen vich paleeti paaki
Na maen aabi na maen khaki
Na maen aatish na maen paun

Bulleh!, ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen arabi na lahori
Na maen hindi shehar nagauri
Na hindu na turak peshawri
Na maen rehnda vich nadaun

Bulla, ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen bheth mazhab da paaya
Ne maen aadam havva jaaya
Na maen apna naam dharaaya
Na vich baitthan na vich bhaun

Bulleh , ki jaana maen kaun

Avval aakhir aap nu jaana
Na koi dooja hor pehchaana
Maethon hor na koi siyaana
Bulla! ooh khadda hai kaun

Bulla, ki jaana maen kaun
Not a believer inside the mosque, am I
Nor a pagan disciple of false rites
Not the pure amongst the impure
Neither Moses, nor the Pharoh

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

Not in the holy Vedas, am I
Nor in opium, neither in wine
Not in the drunkard`s craze
Niether awake, nor in a sleeping daze

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

In happiness nor in sorrow, am I
Neither clean, nor a filthy mire
Not from water, nor from earth
Neither fire, nor from air, is my birth

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

Not an Arab, nor Lahori
Neither Hindi, nor Nagauri
Hindu, Turk (Muslim), nor Peshawari
Nor do I live in Nadaun

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

Secrets of religion, I have not known
From Adam and Eve, I am not born
I am not the name I assume
Not in stillness, nor on the move

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

I am the first, I am the last
None other, have I ever known
I am the wisest of them all
Bulleh! do I stand alone?

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

theory of goals

2005-01-10T09:54:00.000-08:00

hi

continuing my article on success......but this time specifically for goals

one has to set goals to be successful in life.some tips to manage goals r as follows.

1)make sure u use a TO DO LIST and review it daily.it shud contain the actions required to reach ur goals.and tick the actions as and when u complete it.
2)review ur GOAL LIST on a weekly basis and mark it done if any goal is completed.give urself a star for every goal completed on time and two stars for every goal completed before time.and hey not even a quarter star for every goal unaccomplished.
3)make sure u have goals in all areas of life.it is important to have a healthy balance in life for all the accomplishments.

finally goals wont do much good to you if they frustrate you and make u feel guilty or give a sense of failure.have fun with them and dont forget to reward urself.

happy achieving

spirit of blogging

2005-01-10T09:52:00.000-08:00

hi
so lemme continue why i have kept my blog an almost secret except some of my few frens.
reasons r as below:
1)the blogging community is still quite less among my circle.

2)to make the blog public u need guys who understand the spirit of blogging which i cant c due to the reasons above.

3)most of the readers will give a quick glance to blog without ever giving a note of encouragement.

4)blogging in itself is an unique concept for which im totally energetic but most of the gunta will laugh off with a scorn if i mention i have a blog.

5)i have sent a mail to my class grp (dcecoe) on yahoo groups but cudnt find a single taker for all the reasons above (1-4).

6)and lastly i want my blogs to be read rather than glanced.

p.s. all thoughts r of the author and any resemblances is coincedental

XAT vs CAT

2005-01-09T01:55:00.000-08:00

hi
guys welcome me
gave xat today
first of all till last yr XAT and CAT apart from two homonyms (dont rem the exact technical word) were also anotonyms of the big world of MBA exams.
why?
coz i always used to tell that XAT is a biased paper ,a person who slogged the world list,went thru the civics books and management compass was thru.also just doing some typical permutation ques was enough.

but today as the paper started i thought all is unbiased today
there was a general quant and di paper although of a less difficulty level
GK was more of an accumulated knowledge rather than a slogging task
very few vocabulary ques( which we normally see in CAT also)
one thing english was i think exactly same level as CAT 2004 .yes english specially parajumbles and passages were tough.(may be for me)

so now " cat ho ya xat kya farak padta hai"

wat else
hope for the best
and hope is when u perform well
so perform well

c ya

life's cycle

2005-01-01T10:58:00.000-08:00

today wont be same for me again
i met the ugliest truth of the world today with loss of my grand ma
she left all of us with a suffering which i can never feel

i love you biji

She came as a child
filled her parents life with laughters and brightness
was a nurtured seed to be blossomed like a flower
spreading frangrances every where

Became a part of some other family
but treated the second home as her now permanent and holy home
nurturing every one with all her care and warmth
helping every needy
becoming the humanitarian example of this world

Her hands loved me
her eyes praised me
her thoughts purified me
her guidance enlightened me

Yes i miss her
and i love her
as a child loves his childhood
as a priest loves his god
as a samaritan loves goodness

This loss has to happen
as the life's cycle has to go on
needless to think bout my heart
i still cant believe i have lost her

I LOVE YOU BIJI
(biji is is the name of my grand mother)

to all my friends if u can just close ur eyes for a minute to pray to the almighty lord to grant my grandma the peace and freedom.

I PRAY TO GOD THAT WHEREVER SHE IS, PLEASE REST HER IN PEACE AND GIVE MY FAMILY AND ME THE STRENGTH TO LIVE WITHOUT HER.
WE ALL LOVE U BIJI.

BIJI FORGIVE ME OF ALL THE SINS I HAVE EVER COMMITED BY NOT CARING ABOUT YOU SOMETIMES OR BY NOT LISTENING TO YOU SOMETIMES.YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART.I WILL MISS U.
ALMIGHTY

theory of success

2004-12-28T23:28:00.000-08:00

Hi
Well after reading the post of rohit on the issues of success and failure I was intrigued to research more on this topic as this is wat concerning me nowadays.

I was reading this article in today (for all u uninformed it is the mid day newspaper) .so lets start.

I’m not writing verbatim but just wat comes in my mind.

Researchers of Harvard business school have researched on the factors, which define success and failure of people coming from similar backgrounds and similar education standards.

Lets assume we have a sample of 100 people. Then according to researchers 3 people of them are successful, 30 are moderately successful and 67 people out of the 100 just exist. (Figure out where do u stand). Now what makes those 3 people successful is that they have written significant career goals. The other 30 people have an idea where the are going but don’t have any idea of there goals. The rest mortals are happy seeing the world going past.
Now I was happy reading the fact that (why I will tell u later) people in 30 category just need a small effort to shift to the people in 3 category. The effort is “development of habits and strategies which support the achievement of clear goals”. The critical step here is to define the goals.
Some guidelines for setting goals
1)identify ur mission in life.
2)write ur goals.goals must be in writing .an unwritten want is just a wish . if its in writing it’s a commitment.
3)believe that u will accomplish ur goals.
4)be willing to stretch ur comfort zone to reach ur goals.
5)apply self discipline.
6)set a deadline for ur goal and share with someone whom u think will support u.

so guys why was I happy after reading that its easy to transit from 30% to 3% people because I think im in the 30% people of the world and tell me one reason I wont want to include myself in 3% people.

Cheers
saurabh

todays day

2004-12-25T11:15:00.000-08:00

hey
i had my mock interview today
will post the entire detailed experience tommo.

also i have to go to vaibhav's home tommo.i wish rohit wud come there but i knw he wud be preparing for his exams

feeling sleepy

saurabh

but.....i am also happy

2004-12-25T11:08:00.000-08:00

hi
yes im happy .
coz one of my best fren(rohit) has received 5 calls.and i pray that he converts the call he wants the most(calcutta).and i knw he will convert it.i knw when i came to knw my result it shocked me a lot but then when i came to knw bout rohit's result it came as a pleasant surprise coz he was saying that his va will keep him in trouble.well do u all guys knw that day i was talking to one of my another best fren (pavan) when i told him that only fren of ours who desreves to be in iims is rohit.he is a damm dilligent worker and above all a focussed person. also one of my sweet little fren(vaibhav) has received a call from iimb after scoring 99.3.well cant imaginge.,thought he and rohit wud get same no of calls.i think iims need to make the process more transparent.i was just comparing that for 1200 seats in iims we have 150000 (yes 150000) applicants and for 700 seats in harvard we have 7000 applicants .imagine.came to knw that iims r planning to imtroduce a two tier examination the same like iit screening exams.lets see wats in store for me.

leave me .......i knw i wanted to be in iims but then i also knew most of my cl packages r still packed and sealed fresh.so do i deserve to be in iims?????

is mba the way to enterprenurship

2004-12-18T21:15:00.000-08:00

hello
well guys was contemplating on an issue.i agree i am in a contemplating and thoughtful mood nowadays.
ok i was thinking bout some of the big leaders and ceos.r they mba's .a big no.

see dhirubhai who rose from rags to riches and there wasnt a dispute in his family when he was alive.but now see mukesh(wharton) and anil (stanford) who being from such big school where no doubt the proper management of business affairs is being taught are not able to save their own empire.

again the founder of sony corp (someone akilo) made his company while sitting in a small ragged room in japan.

founder of ford (iokaca spare me for spellings) who gave a tight slap to ford after he was fired from there & opened daimler.actually he challenged henry ford that he will open a company with whom ford cant compete.very true na.

etc etc

but still i think that was the era of inventions and rennaisance.seeing todays era where everything is in matured phase and u need to get a feeling of world before plunging out i think
I NEED A MBA.

comments welcome

addiction or habit

2004-12-18T10:54:00.000-08:00

hi
well i was just conteplating on the thought whether this blogging is an addiction or habit for me.u guys tell me out. if i dont blog for a day or two i feel im not missing anything but as the clock ticks the 49th hour i start feeling miserable and run for my computer to post a blog.

i have an interview (thank god live session) in cl on 25 th and will prepare a bit for it.by the way till date im not at all liking the pdp session upar se vo time vaala banda who even drowned away my hopes for iim i or k.what a contradiction .it was time who kept the cut offs to be lowest.keeping my fingers crossed. but then life is full of contradictions.

quite low today so dont feel like blogging more

foundation of adult saurabh-episode 2

2004-12-13T10:02:00.000-08:00

hi guys

ok so removing the curtain from the episode 2.
so dav public school .well i stepped in the school with high expectations,very nervous,slightly frightened etc etc.was already delayed by a month so my days went with completing with my pending work.dont knw why but my initial days were like a small child in a cruel world.children there were too smart or lets say strange.strange because i studied among a different set of students.coincedently i met a friend of mine from the previous school (he left the school in 6th). well i was shocked coz he was completely a changed personality.i felt my self so out of place thet i thought to leave that school also.funny na.so i started interacting with my friend.well i really gained a lot.he told me a lot of things bout the school.i learned all sort of wat we say obscene language which obviously i cant part with now.so days went by and then came first terminal .gave totally unprepared.well i received the biggest shock of my life.got 32/100 in mathematics. so wat nothig a new adversity which i knw i can easily encounter.slowlyy and slowly i was accustomed and comfortable with the school .made some good friends.and then came the second terminal the same mathematics paper .got 92/100. and then this trend continued.wont dig into details just thst time flew and i gave my boards.

wud be ending this post but wud say that episode 3 of my school will continue.(which is the most treasurable part of my life.)

one more thing.......i luv when someone comments on my posts......why coz that is me

the foundation of adult saurabh--episode 1

2004-12-12T07:29:00.000-08:00

well
now lets start with......
of course my school life. ok ok
i did my schooling from st gregorios school,janak puri.it was a christian convent school and well a really really strict school.we were not allowed to speak in hindi and also a fine for it.i shud say that whatever academic development i had was in this school.i left this school after eighth,

then started the gruelling process of finding a right school.applied to st francis but then date was over.applied to sumermal jain public school,went there for 1 month and was shocked to see the dismal state of students there.imagine a student being admitted in ninth who studied in a hindi medium till eighth.he didnt even knew how to properly converse and write in hindi.just kicked the school after 1 month.then..........again the gruelling process....went to oxford public school .the principal asked for a donation and anyways the school didnt appealed to me.so didnt applied for it.
now wat...some more gruelling process.....someone told veda vyasa dav public school is good.so went there and applied.gave a written test...so wat ....got admission and finally saurabh of a small strict school stepped in a big big world.so wat was ahead of me.well there is a lot of amazing and mind blowing incidents.
for that wait for the next post.

and ya i really liked rohit's blog clock so going to put it

finally the end of end-sems

2004-12-11T10:45:00.000-08:00

hi
yeh im happy
y
coz finally on 10th my end sems have .......u knw wat i mean since only wen my end sems r over i become happy.so wat im expecting this time well i think i performed well expect 1-2 papers and rest is all on the lord of all things.but i wud be totally supporting my friend rohit who is in nsit that watever marks we get is from our past footprints , its like that delhi police always catches hold of a past criminal even if the world has given birth to a new one.wanna an example ok my friend in electronics had his digital circuits viva like this-he was shown his mid sems marks during the viva(even before the viva ,he scored 14/20) and then just one question his another friend was shown his mid semm marks .he scored 19/20 so no question for him.as simple as that.considering that i screwed my this mid sem (only this) and scored 09/20 wat wud have been with me. dont knw.since my viva went for 20 mins and it was good. but i wud again repeat now i can bear anything in dce.
u guys must be thinking i havent written anything bout my school life ok ok
well my next posts wud be
1)davps--entry of a naive kid.
2)the big CAT.

until then

well thats y i always say that in dce i have been to taught every thing aka
1)to give end sems without a single class being held.

more of me

2004-12-06T11:18:00.000-08:00

hey guys

im back.well before starting my blog i wud like to say that my blogs wont go in any coherent manner from point x to y.well wat i feel i wud write.so u all accept it na.good first of all my one of the good friends vaibhav has met with an accident.quite a serious one.i was quite upset that day.(emotional me)well i do care for my friends and expect the same.bout the accident he was on a bike and to be frank i always felt that bike is always dangerous and thats y i always commute in a bus or car.once a newly wed couple busy in their luvy duvy drive in car hit me from back and my brand new car had its bumper screwed.well i just think if i wud have been in a bike i wudnt be exercising my fingers at this point since they were travelling at around 70kmph.

i had my practical today .compiler design.nice name na.kool.well i m quite happy in my branch and wont mind continuing in this before plunging into management field.but if i get into sum good coll then definitely i m gonna join it,im expecting 1-2 calls from iim and i have filled nitie but wont join it may be go there for an interview (no no not for nitie vo to bahana hai )actually wanna experience bombay babes.hehe.well for me not getting into iit was a big stigma.why lemme tell u.when i was applying for university of british columbia canada they explicitly wrote the eligibility for indians.wanna read ok1)good academics2)masters degree for doing MS here.BTECH accepted only from iit.

see the difference.i emailed them and told im from a top 10 engg coll they told they only recognise iit.and their answer was probably u wont make it.
well for now i have dropped my plans for ms for this yr.wanna work for a year and then see where destiny takes me.ya im a big believer of destiny.cuming back to iit stuff this is the reason im quite serious for an iim degree(quite a revered one) and until then lets c if i have to work for a year.
thats all for my post todaymy next post wud be dealing a little bit about my school.

2004-12-05T01:06:00.000-08:00

hi friends for all my friends who have missed my previous blog be updated.

hi friends well i will post why i have started blogging or my intro some day later but today im going to post my thoughts which r bugging me from yesterdaywell i got my result yesterday and it was a big ****.i got just 63% but u must be thinking why am i irritated coz guys i have been the topper of my class i mean i was the top 10 of my class but now no scene.well why have i got this much marks there is some other story behind it but let it be.so wat now.well i was to apply for MS but now im thinking which good univ will take me with such ******* scores of mine.may be they can see my performance in previous sem but that is their headache.wat i knw this time is that i just want to be in a good uni.i want to see the whole world.roam around and want to experience how good (or bad) the foreign education system is and ofcourse want to have a vilayati degree.i DIE to there to excel there.i was thinkin how much toil our parents r putting in for us and this is the result im giving.i shud be given a punishment for this.well i promise my parents (and above all me) that im gonna get 80% in this semester so that all my friends who have started believing that i was a topper by hit and trial start believing me.i think im feeling better by posting.well it seems this is a dream and i hope this passes away as a bad day in my life which i dont wanna rem.hey guys im also preparing for the mighty cat and i getting a decent performance without studying a day for cat.i got 50 in last mock even when i went there 30 minutes late and when my paper started at 12:40 to be taken by them at 2:00.i knw i can crack cat but i dont wanna do it now.i just want a MS degree (with a gold medal) and see im gonna be the happiest person on this earth."sooner or later the man who wins is the one who thinks he can win"cheerssaurabh
