To Keep or Not to Keep!!!

Its 2.13 am, and am half drunk, or half in my senses...you can look at it anyway... actually I am not too sure if am half drunk at all but then am not too sure if I am in my senses either.... think you guys got the drift ;)

Well as we were having our drinks, I was asked if I smoke... well I am a social smoker...rather I was...untill I promised a good friend that I wouldnt smoke anymore...not that I used to smoke like it was no one's business....aasa pattu kaetuta...cigarette thaanae...paravala daanu vittutaen....:)

Today when thay offered me a puff...I refused to have saying that I quit... even though I was tempted to have one.... am still wondering in this state of mine was it my will power not to smoke or my promise to her that stopped me from taking a puff...or was it both...my will power to keep my promise to her...is it because I value her and her friendship so much....I suppose so... I cant see a better rationale...even though I can definitely give one...I just didnt feel like having a smoke ;)

Buddy Treat!!!

Well after so much planning we (Appy, Ash, Shubha and I) decided to treat our respective buddies... along with our buddies came few other people whom we all wanted to treat.. So finally we all went (15 of us) on bikes (getting those bikes was one helluva job) to Hotel Sangam on 24th. Our reservation was for 1'o clock but we finally landed there at 2. Infact Appy, my buddies, pawan and I reached at 2'o clock while the others reached some 15 minutes earlier I think.

The buffet at the coffee shop of Hotel Sangam unfortunately for us meat eaters does not feature too many non vegetarian dishes, infact it didnt feature too many dishes in the first place in comparision to the weekend buffet which is such a hit with us BIM students. At 175+tax, the weekend buffet is a steal man.

But we still managed to have a lot of fun at the expense at maami, shubha and as usual me also...

Curious Cat!!!

I am incidently also called as curious cat by some of my friends because I want to know everything thats going on, I keep asking questions like who did what, why did he do that, when, where, why...etc etc... I guess after a point of time it does get on some peoples nerves that they cant stand me, they cant stand me interfering into their private lives. Hmmm...fair - enough, but I dont think I have ever interfered in anyones's private life, unless they come to me.

I dont even understand this fact that why is that I should change, because I strongly feel that if my friends cant accept me as I am then they are not my friends at all, which means I have not made the right friends...but all my life I have prided myself because I have always felt that I have made the right friends...so that leads me to the question - should I change???

Now like I said before, thats how I am, if you cant accept me as I am, though luck... so now I have answered that question also... so what else now....

Finding Neverland!!!

The day (March 16th, 2006) finally came and it went....the feeling still hasn't sunk in that our farewell is over, in 2 weeks time we will be writing the final exams of our student life (atleast some of us will, I definitely am) and after which its all over.

No more classes, no more assignments, no more field works, no more mokkai sessions, no more walks, no more sitting at the roundtana, no more om shree, no more LH gate, no more gossips, no more no more...everything is absolutely no more. Two years just flew by, it just looks like yesterday I joined BIM, it just looks like yesterday we were all sitting in front of the then "shaitan corner" trying to solve the berbarian ball casestudy, it all looks like a dream, in less than a month now, I am going to become what I came here for, an MBA!!! It still looks like a dream!!!

Looking back, BIM has taught me a lot of things. I came here with an open mind and an open to everything attitude. I have had my bad days here, with people, with exams but the experience has been exhilarating. Berbarian Ball Bearing and Marwar gave me my friends, the people with whom I spent the maximum time in campus other than the classroom and my room. We call ourselves CQ210. They are the people with whom I have shared my sorrow and my happiness. I am myself with them. We have had enless arguments on various topics, you name them and we would have definitely argued. We all share different equations with each other, we have different priorities, but when it came to being there for each other, we were there...guys I may have not told you till now... thought I'll do that now... You guys mean the world to me... and I love you all and I hope we stay like this forever!!!

I have learnt not to judge people too early. There were people who I just couldnt stand during my initial days in BIM, but as the days went by I figured out that these people were a million times better than the hypocrites roaming around in college.

BIM has taught me to be strong and fight for what I believe is right and I did. The experience may have ended in a sour note, but like my best friend said "count your blessings DJ", I guess I will. Appy and Deeps sorry yaar for that day, I guess may be what I said touched a wrong cord some where, but I didnt mean it....

I have been teased like hell because of my association with the opposite sex, but incidently my best friends in college are women. infact one of them is my senior and she is one of my closest friends till date. We have argued a lot, fought a lot (my maximum till date), but she still is my best friend. well thats what makes the friendship so special.

Well to conclude, its been one helluva a journey, I sometimes wish it just doesn't end, but like they say all good things have to come to an end, I guess this has to too... Will miss you guys!!!

Snapshots from Hell!!



After reading the desi version in the form of Mediocre But Arrogant, I heard some raging reviews about the original version, Snapshots from Hell by Peter Robinson. Took some time to locate the book, its not very easy when your sitting in Trichy. Well somehow now the book is one my priced pocessions, through with 2 chapters ( I am supposedly a slow reader, atleast thats the complain I constantly hear from my friends :) ). Lets see if the book can live upto its review.....

Thought I'll make my blog a little colurful...

Holi!!!

Happy Holi!!! The Holi this year brought in so many memories, how I actually tried not playing last year and how I was actually dragged out of the house, they broke my door down and dragged me out, of course I did end up having fun after that...


What was left of my last door..they came in after they broke that hole...




My New Door.....




My old door again...















This year was a different, I was for some reason or the other looking forward to play the festival of colours..I did take some precautions like applying loads of gingerly oil on myself to look a little normal on my farewell... It hasnt worked that well till now as the chemicals in the powder nullified the effect of the oil, nevertheless I had fun...playing the game with friends... pulling everyone and applying colour on their face and hair...
















The festival of holi brought to me other memories like how some people restrained themselves from playing the game for various reasons, some of them because they couldnt and some because it was considered to be a north indian festival...I frankly dont understand this funda or concept of north indian and south indian, I never have and never will...to me the only classification as I see it is what the nature has made of us...what they call gender..male and female...can one differentiate the northy from the southy in the snaps...We all look the same...colourful...:) well thats holi for you....

Holi is just harvest celebration to mark the climax of spring, very much similar to that of what we celebrate pongal in the south...I really dont understand why people look at festivals also this way...but I guess its their way of looking at things, I can only wonder now...am not promising that i'll change things, but i'll definitely try to make a difference....

Expectations!!!

Whenever I start wondering, it becomes a problem... I just cant think anything nice and rosy... this time I was wondering again as I have wondered so many times, why is that we have expectations. At the end of the day expectations do lead to dissapointments, right!! Not always ... yeah but most of the time...

It is ok to expect from oneself, when it is confines to the person himself, the outcome is mostly as expected (except in a few cases), so the topic of dissapointment does not rise and even if it does, we are to blame ourselves. Whereas in the case of friends, relatives and everyone else, when we start expecting, we just cannot control the outcome, and we need to be prepared for the fact that we can possibly be dissapointed.

Why do we still keep expecting, why isnt the saying once bitten twice shy not work in here, even after so many failures we still keep on expecting, why doesnt the mind realize the fact and stop expecting. Even as I say this and realize the fact that expecting things from others can be hurting, I still expect and will keep expecting, thats the way of life I guess, the more you expect, the more you learn about the other person, the more you realize that the other person is not perfect and one needs to accept them as they are... thats the beauty of friendship, we love our friends inspite of their faults and we love our friends with their faults...in the end we are expected to bring down the level of our expectations, so that they are comfortable to live upto it... but how many of us do it, we still keep it high!!!

I guess we will always keep it high...its a never ending tussle, a never ending cycle...even after all this I havent learnt, I dont think I will and I dont see anyone who will.....

Mediocre But Arrogant


Mediocre But Arrogant...well thats us yes...MBA.... decent book, not as captivating as Five point some one, but a good read....we were able to relate to it, since we come from the same yard...I was particularly captivated by a single line "It is enough I matter today, tomorrow does not exist, neither do I"...Bloody Brilliant!!!
