Why MBA????

2007-06-28T00:36:00.000-07:00

Well now that I have officially put in my papers at office and have less than a month of notice period left to serve I decided to start blogging again. I can admit without any shame that I don’t have any work to do and have a considerable time for introspection. The first thought that came to my mind was what am I going to do with my life. I am about to start my MBA in a month and till now I had not given a serious thought as to why I am doing it. I had prepared elaborate answers on “why MBA” to bluff my way through the interviews, but at the bottom of my heart I knew they were not true. I still imagine how I managed to say with a straight face “yes sir, I am open to going back to the same industry I m working in after my mba, I m here just for value addition”.

The real reason is I am bored of the industry I m working in. I guess that’s an old problem as after 4 years of computer engineering I realized I was not cut out to sit in front of the computer and type code which would be a nightmare for any debugger.

So after engineering I joined a telecom mnc in sales & marketing profile. The reason I chose it over a more secure option of TCS was a better pay (of course) and an opportunity to try out something interesting. Later I realized the profile that was offered is usually given to MBAs with considerable work ex, it was really challenging and exciting but soon I realized there should be more to life than convincing companies to buy expensive equipment and infrastructure they don’t really need.

Now again I m at a threshold where my decision will have a long lasting impact on my professional life and I might not get an opportunity to redirect my career. As I have already ruled out technology and marketing as options I m left with FMCG, Finance, Consulting and perhaps a few other. FMCG requires you to travel to small towns and villages in initials years so even that is almost out. Consulting requires considerable work ex in the field you decide to consult so that people who seek your advise are convinced that you know what you are talking about, I guess that gets ruled out also (damn I m running out of options). That leaves me with finance which I have heard requires a lot of hard work and considering my natural tendency to look for the easy way out it might prove to be a big ask.

I am going to stop here for now as office folks around me are getting curious that, “what is he typing for so long, he must be up to something”

God Bless

Last 1 year

2006-12-27T00:36:00.000-08:00

Hi Guys i am back again :). one of my colleagues recently started blogging that reminded me that even i have a blog and the last entry on it read dec 26, 2005 i.e. exactly one year back. It is one of my new year resolutions to blog as regularly as possible and hopefully this time i would stick to it. Neelu, Manan and Ohri take a hint and get started ASAP. i cant believe that u guys are livin it up in US and still dont share your experiences. Parag is probably the only one who managed to find time to blog.

I was wondering what should i write about, my new year resolutions?? then i thought that can wait till jan1 then maybe about my boss thanks to who i never managed to find time to blog, then i thought i would just summarize the last year when i didnt write anything. Frankly speaking last year was one of the most boring years of my life most of which was spent catering to the whims of my boss. (boss if u r reading this i didnt mean you, i was talkin about some other boss). second half of the year was spent preparing for CAT. at first i started reading novels just to improve my speed for cat but i got hooked and now despite the fact that i have screwed up cat and it would take a miracle for me to get a call from a decent b-school i am addicted to reading and usually finish a novel in a week no matter how hectic my schedule. the most memorable book i read last year has to be The Kite Runner by Khalled Hosseni, i would strongly recommend u to read it. The most important lesson i learnt last year was that no matter how hard you try there is no guarantee of success.

Thats all for now hope my next post comes within 1 year :)

Take Care

I'm back

2005-12-26T02:32:00.000-08:00

Sorry guys/gals (if any), i know i am writing after a looooooong time so to make it up to you i will write a looooooong post. so getyourself some chips/popcorn and make yourself comfortable.

i will start with how i managed to start again and why i decided to start again. well the reason i am able to write this post is that i bunked work today as i had to work during last weekend. i had a meeting in bangalore (or bangaluru), and due to the shitty fog i could not sleep properly during the last 4 days as my flight used to get delayed/cancelled while going to bangalore and i faced the same problem while coming back. as i was in no position to go to work today and got a whole day to myself after such a long time i decided to do some writing.
now i will come to what motivated me to start again. as soon as my meeting got over i decided to meet all my friends working in bangalore. of all the people i called 4 finally showed up at a pub called enigma. one of the guys i met was harmandeep (the sexy sardar), i tried shashis number but it was switched off. while discussing the old times harman asked me about an incident he had read in parags blog. parag had mentioned people as A,B,C to protect their identities. harman had managed to guess who i was but he was a bit confused about other two, so i explained the whole incident to him in details. later i realised that now that all of us are scattered all over the place and hardly get time to talk to each other let alone meet, blogging is a good way to keep in touch and it especially means a lot to guys who have moved out of delhi.
after coming back to delhi i surfed through ohri, neelabh, parag and manans blog, i was surprised to see that all of them had started blogging again and i was the only moron who had not written anything for the last 6 months.
so much has happened during the last 6 months that i dont know where to start from. shud i write about my job? no that would be boring. about my malaysia trip? no i would write a seperate post on that when i am in a better mood. about my friends? no that would require some heavy retrospection which i am in no mood for right now. so i would write about whatever crap comes to my mind. as i got a free day after a long time i started thinking about which way my life was headed and which way i wanted it to go. what were my dreams my ambitions. kisi ne sach kaha hai- khali dimaag shaitaan ka ghar hota hai. i have realised one thing though, money does not mean happiness. in college when i never had more than 100 bucks in my wallet all i wanted was to get a high paying job, now that i make enough money i really wish i could have the care free college days back again. now i get to eat in fancy restraunts but i miss the fights over the last piece of samosa in canteen. i get to have fine wines and scotchs but i enjoyed the daru parties at the theka near our college more, i stay at 5 stars wherever i go but i feel those night outs in hostel doing mindless GC all night was more fun. what the f*** am i writing. let me drop the morbid topic.
to change the mood let me add a picture of petronas twin towers, the worlds tallest.

to give a personal touch let me add a pic of me and my colleagues. if you are wondering why nobody is smiling thats becuse this pic was taken when we were waiting outside our hotel for the tour bus to come and we were frustrated after 40 mins of waiting.

(L to R: mehta, vivek, me, sudeep, gaurav)

dont feel like writing anymore. will write the next post when i m in a better mood.
good night

First week at job

2005-07-17T10:42:00.000-07:00

Hey folks
i m back after a loooong week which seemed as if it would never end. i have managed to survive the first week at work. during the induction period my work hours were supposed to be 10 to 5:30 but to avoid the gurgaon traffic my cab reaches office by 9:30 and due to the long discussions and feedback sessions that followed the lectures i was seldom free before 7-7:30 and reached home after 8. during the first few days the biggest challenge i faced was getting up by 7 in the morning, i would blame my college schedule for this as for the last four years my body had been programmed not to get up before 9 in the morning. another problem i faced was that due to a small batch bunking or sleeping in the sessions was out of thequestion.after this week i have realised how woderful a weekend is, spend most of saturday sleeping and went on a satsang today that reminds me guys plan something good for next weekend. my batch consists of 10 people, 6 from nsit 4 from dce including me. batch has 3 girls so the sex ratio is 3:7 probably the best by a huge margin of all the firms i know of. most of colleagues are the bond ghissu intellect types so i dont see myself getting a promotion in the near future here. most of the managers n directors here have an iim degree attached to their resumes.
now lets move to the work. in case u dont know i have joined as a sales n marketing exec, a choice based more on my hatred for coding and being inept at any sort of programming so i was a bit anxious as of what kind of a job profile would i get but after a week here i have a feeling that i made a good decision.the profile seems very attractive but i guess only time will tell what my future holds. before joining my vision of an office was that there would be employees working endlessly and a boss who would thrash them from time to time. being an mnc the scene at my office was quite a contrast as everyone called each other by their first names, so i was expected to call even the directors by their first names. it was odd at first as in college we even called guys one year senior to us as sir but now i have got used to it. i will be allotted a mentor on tuesday and actual training would start after that. my job profile involves a lot of travelling and i m looking forward to it .my friend suvir is starting work tomorrow all the best to you dude and do let me know how was it. will stop now as i have to get up early

Pangs of Nostalgia

2005-07-10T22:30:00.000-07:00

Hi dudes ( n dudesses if any)
got the biggest attack of nostalgia this week as i decided to visit my school once before starting with my job.
for the uninitiated i m from SPV -sardar patel vidyalaya, located at lodi estate near bal bharti. i hope u dont get a bad impression of the school because of me, its a school known for good results. the claim to fame of my school is the number of cricketers it has produced -ajay jadeja, vivek rajdan, gagan khoda, murali kartik n many more who didnt get much famous. before i start with todays post let me give a brief introduction of my school friends
ankit sethi ( aka petha) a good natured friendly guy with a huge appetite thanks to which we never have to worry about food getting left over.he did his engineering from karnataka.
chirag adatia ( aka c******) a nice guy with an amazing sense of humour. doing his mbbs from ucms plans to do mba next.
rishabh saxena( aka gaddha, not donkey but as in a deep hole) another sweet guy just finished his engineering from itm gurgaon.
we decided to go to school this thursday, another friend who came along was ankit mehta whos doing his mba from pittsburg. me n gaddha reached earlier than others and as our class teacher was taking a class then we decided to take a walk around the school. to my utter disbelief the peons, teachers even the canteenwaala recognised us. next we moved to the junior building for nursery to class 5. looking at swings and sand pit a got a sudden attack of nostalgia of the carefree days of school. all of us were in this school from nursery to 12th and even today no matter how busy we are we make it a point to meet at least once a month. the drizzle started to turn into a heavy downpour so we decided to move back to the senior building. the buidlings had changed a lot n our first reaction was "yaar now there are so many places you can hide after bunking class", we used to get caught every time we bunked.i got sudden flashbacks of all the fights, all the mischief, all my crushes .by now our class teacher banerjee maam was free. i was a bit scared as i had come after about 3-4 years and thought i was gonna receive a severe rebuke but instead i got a pleasant smile. we discussed the old days and what other classmates were doing for sometime and then took her leave.
only party this week was kanikas belated bday bash. we were a bit concerned as we thought will she be comfortable being alone with 5 guys, but i guess after 4 yrs in an engineering college she is hardened enough to handle such things in her stride. her treat was probably the most generous one in the last 4 yrs n she didnt ask us to pool in anything as is the norm with all our parties, infact i felt we were taking advantage of her sharafat. the only unfortunate thing that happened was that for the first time we got thrown out of a pub for being underage.
well guys thats it for today. i m really delighted by your responses to my blog, i have even received 3 requests by people who want me to write an analysysis on them. i also enjoy writing them and i m gonna save all this and when u guys have become rich n famous i will compile ur full biographies n they r bound to be bestsellers. will write next analysis as soon as i m free.
tomorrows the first day of my job and am both anxious n excited. hope it turns out fine. i m gonna follow the tips u guys have given me like- dont talk unnecessarily (ohri) greet everyone nicely (parag )
feel free to add any office advice from your experiences. i dont know how hectic my work schedule is gonna be but i will try my best to squeeze in a couple of blogs every week
god bless u guys( n me too)

Sex Ratio Problem

2005-07-03T22:44:00.000-07:00

hi guys! last week was pretty boring . did some shopping of formal attire as i will hv to follow a dress code from next week onwards . i m learning how to wear a tie as it was not a part of my uniform in school and during college placements my dad used to make the knot for me, i remember that just before one of the interviews while playing with my tie i messed up the knot, when i asked my friends to help i realised they were as tie illitrate as me finally i had to borrow someones tie.
the only high point of last week was the party thrown by ohris company at radisson, noida. i was told that in case anyone asked i had to say that i m ohris brother as his invitation read-all employees and their families are cordially welcome. the dj was a sardar so the numbers played were good. the bar menu was impressive and unlike the other parties they were not stingy in their brand selection. i cant comment on the food there as by the time we decided to have some food the place was more or less deserted with no waiters around and we couldnt even find plates to eat , someone eventually managed to get a plate and we took a bite of whatever was left.
the only disappointment was the realisation that sex ratio of the company was worse than dce and the handful of girls present were married and had got their husdands along. i feel this is a problem totally ignored by the government and something needs to be done about it urgently. to tackle the problem all forms of quotas and reservations should be abolished and instead these seats should be reserved for girls, this would help immensely to improve the dismal state of female education in our country. instead of helping the govt takes senseless decisions like opening girls only engineering colleges like mahila institute which worsens the situation. people get so worked up when they hear about the imbalance in sex ratio of the country which is something like 900: 1000 but i think its high time they considered the case of engineering colleges where the ratio is something like 30: 1000 and in branches like mechanical or production etc its even worse like 10: 1000. immediate steps need to be taken in this direction if atttendance and productivity of both the students as well as the lecturers in engineering colleges across the country is to be improved. studies have shown that a all boys atmosphere can have adverse effects on the orientations and preferences of the students. a solution to this problem should be found urgently as the future of the engineers of the nation is at stake . if any one of u finds a solution do let me know

Hi guys
i m back, was pretty busy during the last couple of days. finally received my joining letter, job starts from july 11th so i guess my days of masti r numbered now , just 2 weeks more before the monday to friday 9-6 office routine starts. might b busy this saturday so sunday ko neelabh ki party ka kuch mast plan banate hain. neelu please state ur budget so we can plan accordingly.
ohri bhai how do i add links to other blogs n chat box n other fancy stuff to my site to get that professional blogger feel. how r the people in flextronics doing? any news of the infy guys?
theres nothing worth watchin on the tv nowadays, even sania mirza is out though the match was close. i came across this sunil shetty movie while channel surfing, the movie was really crappy but its villain had a great attitude there was this scene where the villains brother comes home all black n blue after being beaten up by shetty, he says " arre munna ye kya hua , tere ko kitni baar samjhaya hamesha tension deneka leneka nahin" i found this phrase really catchy it has so many deeper meanings.
started reading a book called 'dont quote me' about stupid quotes like einsteins teacher telling him that he was a duffer n would never amount to anything. the one i liked the most was when a football commentator said while wathing a boring match that if a goal is scored now i will eat my hat , within seconds of his saying that a goal was scored and after the match people confronted him and he actually ate his hat.
my dad freaked out after seeing the phone bill, i somehow convinced him that a broadband would b more economical, doston suggest a sasta n tikau connection.

My Dear Friend Saurabh Ohri Part 1

Hello friends. hope all of u r fine. sorry no post yesterday, sunday ko mere daily gibberish ki chutti hoti hai.
had gone for the usual round of daru n murga with my Bewra Express(this is the latest nomenclature of my gang of college buddies) i was surprised to see that despite having joined office for 2 weeks now i couldnt see any change in ohri n manhar though their talks now centered around saving bonds n white papers( i didnt understand a word) plus i found out that the rumor about ohri having an affair with a married woman was baseless its infact manhar whos having that affair.

Lots of news this weekend bangladesh beats australia, narain kartikeyan comes 4th in F1 ( in a race with 6 racers though) , reliance splits and the biggest news my buddy neelabhs visa has been approved so hes all set to fly to texas in august ( i hope i would be welcome in his mansion when i go there after a couple of years) so i guess the Bewra Express is gonna be pretty busy this weekend also. now let me start with ohri

Saurabh ohri ( aka ohri aka hori - pronounced just like whore with some extra stress on e ) is probably my oldest college buddy as our friendship started in 1st sem only and i wasnt much chummy with neelabh, parag , shashi n others in NSIT . i met ohri for the first time during the counselling as we were both tied for the same rank 311.
ohri is probably the sweetest person i know infact every time i think about him my mind gets flooded with images of a bowl of sugar cubes, a jar of honey , a bar of melting chocolate etc.. infact he is so sweet that i feel his name should be changed from saurabh ohri to saurabh misri . this guy lives by friendship, he is extremely loyal affectionate and caring. he believes in true friendship and would probably die if he was to spend one day when he couldnt talk to any of his friends. in case he falls short of words to express his affection he would not shy from using hugs and kisses ( personally experienced that on couple of occasions) hes so friendly that he can strike a instant friendship with anyone ( even strangers he meets on a bus) his friendship is universal in nature and he has several foreigners as friends even one giant firang who used to sit on 2 seats of a bus at the same time( though i still cant understand why would anyone do that) this guy is friendly n caring to a fault he gives more than 100% to a friendship n expects the same in return as a result he has been hurt badly by some SOBs at times. my only advise to him would be to be careful while making friends and not put blind faith in someone as this world is full of weirdos . i m sure u have realised that u have realised that after 4 yrs in DCE which boasts of having a very wide spectrum of lunatics.
ohri has a large number of friends in all sorts of places therefore hes the first one to get the latest gossips. whether its a cheating bf/gf, exams getting postponed/preponed,results getting declared,info of companies coming to the collegefor placements etc. well heres ohris report

Name : Saurabh Ohri

Birthday: August 8 ( its coming n i expect an extravagant treat as u would have got a couple of salaries by then)
here i would also like to add that ohri is a total sucker for parties whether a birthday party , a fest , a gathering at the college canteen or even a local satsang and finds it hard to believe that there could be people who refuse to give birthday parties. i m gonna mention 2 statements which rate very high in the hall of fame of worst excuses to avoid giving a b'day bash
"maine actually paise bachae to the par woh kharch ho gaye" - harmandeep singh kandhari
"bol diya na party nahin doonga, bas " - manhar prem aggarwal

Working at: Induslogic, Noida

Favourite drink (when hes with bewra express): gin n lime with sprite
(when hes drinking to impress): any premium scotch on the rocks

Fav food (all time) : anything tandoori, apsara ki chowmein
(current) : chicken momos

Style statement: this is a guy who believes in looking trendy and follows latest fashion so he wont mind even wearink beads around his ankles

What do i tease him about: this is a guy who doesnt mind wisecracks and i frequently tease him about all sorts of things like his queer habits or about getting desperate after all the girls ( u can see the contrast)

His scariest moment in life : a very heavily built girl from our college who was sitting next to him in his car (hes such a sweet guy he even offered her a lift) asked him, "so saurabh what r ur plans on valentines day"

A night he will never forget : that one wild night of our grad party( i m not gonna go in details, doston everyone makes mistakes)

thats it for now, more on this guy coming very soon to a blog near u . i would like to add that ohri is one guy who would go out of his way to help his friends. he is someone who always has time for his friends returns all calls and sms's and e-mails without fail. even if i call him up one day before the exam to ask about the important sections he patiently answers . this is a guy i know i m gonna be friends with for a long long long time.

how did u guys find this post?? a bit senti and emotional for ur tastes eh? well when ur talking about someone like ohri u r bound to get carried away.and above all mr ohri my blogging guru how did u find it?
if u feel like adding something on ohri feel free ( no details of the grad party please )
next take is gonna be on suvir or shashi.

good night folks

Engineering Simplified

Its heartening to know that u guys have appreciated my first attempt at writing something original, after 4 yrs of cramming stuff senselessly i was having doubts about my creativity.
neelabh i think u r being too modest when u say u have not influenced me, infact i believe each n everyone in our class was inspired by u to some extent especially parag who considers u his role model

anyways todays post is dedicated to steps by which i completed my engg with minimum effort possible. it took me 4 yrs to acquire these mantras so feel free to forward these anybody u know who hates to study but by some cruel twist of fate has landed up in a good engineering college.
heres my list of tips

Theory Papers

1) Previous year papers: it doesnt matter whether u have the complete study material or not make sure u have the papers of last 2-3 yrs. if u r in a govt college then dont even think of touching anything which hasnt come in the last 2 yrs. here i would like to mention a special thanks to my friend parag to whom i am greatly indebted for providing the old papers every semester as he knew a senior who gave them to him. this guy is so caring that during the last sem we were on a study leave when he got hold of the papers, so he actually scanned the papers n mailed them to us.

2) Good rapport with guys sitting around u : this is really important for subjects that have a vast syllabus. my understanding with varshney had become so good that in 7th sem we got the same percentage upto 2 decimal places.

3) Incorporate redundancy : just because u dont know a topic or dont remember all the points doesnt mean u cant write a 3 page answer to that. a better authority to talk on this probably would be suvir( after shashi this is the only person who studied even less than me) who had the distinction of writing 6 page answers to questions he had no idea about. in case u feel the answer u have written is too short compared to the marks allotted just repeat what u have already written in different wording, change the tense, active to passive just use ur imagination.
the golden rule is never leave a question blank. trust me there r teachers who actually take out a scale n measure ur answers and go hmmm 3 1/4 pages let me give this guy 2 out 3.

4) Important questions : have a reliable source who can provide u with all the sections that the teacher said r important. a word of caution here be very careful in choosing ur source. in 1st yr i used to get them from an assh*** who would infact tell me stuff that was not even in the course( u can imagine the consequences). then i switched to ohri who proved to be a reliable source, as he was the first to approach each of the teachers for imp sections of the course.

Practicals

Practicals r a different ball game altogether here it doesnt matter how much u have studied, its more of a mind game. first rule no matter what happens never argue with the guy taking the viva its a lose lose situation. even if u know everything dont act arrogant just give precise short answers politely. if for some reason he decides to start lecturing u on something keep listening patiently and keep nodding ur head from time to time.
if there happens to be a bond sitting in ur viva group just say that u agree with everything he said and if possible add a point of ur own in case u cant think of any other point just rephrase what the other guy said.
but be prepared for the most unexpected results in practicals. i once gave a flawless viva still ended up with a 60 and once the teacher threatened to see me again next year and somehow i got 90.

But keep in mind that studying hard is the best option and consider these steps only if for some reasons u just cant study. make sure that u keep a really ghissu friend in ur circle so u have a good idea about what u should be doing

My Dear Friend Neelabh Part-1

Well heres my first attempt at describing the multifaceted personality of neelabh( aka fatua aka sax - pronounced just like a person who learnt english from a rapidex would pronounce sex). i will not go into his academic feats like consistently being the topper from nursery to engineering or scoring 1550 in GRE because that itself would fill a 5 page resume.
i have known Mr. neelabh for 4 yrs now as we were together in 1st sem at NSIT also. thus i had the opportunity to study him at close range. the only person who can claim to know him better is probably manhar( but that is a different case altogether)
our friendship started in 2nd yr when we became Whiteline Bandhus. in first year he used to take a route to college which was used by Delhi Tourism for a sight seeing routine of the city so it took him 3-4 hrs to reach college so he even took hostel for a month or so( i heard that he left hostel because his roomies wont let him study in peace).
so we travelled more than an hour together everyday on the whiteline. he was the first person who could take an hour of my nonsensical chatter with a smile. he infact developed the habit of blabbering himself.
over the years he has been the butt of many of my wisecracks and i also played a number of pranks on him but i m sure he knows that they were out of my never ending love for him and i hope he doesnt carry any grudges against me.
he is the most dedicated sincere and hard working person i have ever met. he has clear cut goals in life and was probably sure of what he wanted to do in life since nursery. on personal note he has been a great source of inspiration to me . under his influence i started reading books which had more text than pictures and gradually even ones without any pictures. i learnt from him that even the ghissus dont enjoy studying its just something you have to do. with his guidance i m gonna finish my engineering with 70% whereas after 3rd sem i was in doubt whether i would be able to maintain 60%.
i wont say hes not a ghissu rather hes a ghissu with a twist.
heres his factfile:-

Name : Neelabh Saxena

Birthday : 10th October

Qualifications : BE Comp Engg - DCE (wonder what it would read 20 yrs from now scientist, professor??)

Favourite drink : fresh lime soda sweet

Favourite food : anything with lots of chicken, infact he starts feeling wierd if doesnt have it for 2 days ( this guy seriously believes in fine dining starting with a large serving of chutny pyaaz followed by his hot n sour soup then the main course finally ice cream)

Favourite one liner : nanga nahayega kya dhoyga kya

Favourite swear : g**** ke pille

Obsession : mafia, gangsters, fav novel is godfather , he always wanted to be a goonda ( told u he was a ghissu with a twist)

Greatest regret in life : sleeping with gupta that night

Best prank i played on him : when i took his mobile in class and started calling up everyone one by one and he kept wondering where his mobile was. i still remember the threats he gave me

Best rumour spread about him : that he is a trained kathak dancer (believe it or not he started this himself)

looking at the size of this post i better call it a day now, but my analysis of neelabh is far from over.
he does get moodswings at times but on the whole hes a very nice n friendly person and would do just anything for his friends. he once took a cigarette puff on my insistence ( despite being asthmatic) and takes booze occasionally on being coaxed by his friends ( read ohri and sameer) i remember he even tried cider( alcoholic drink made from apple juice) on my suggestion, it was the most horrible drink i have ever had.

i m really gonna miss neelabh but probably not for long as i can visualise that after a couple of years i would be standing on the porch of his mansion( in texas) right next to his ferrari ringing his doorbell and thinking about what to say to his butler and hoping that neelabh would recognize me.

so what to u guys think ? did i miss out on any aspect of neelabh?? if anything was factually inconsistent let me know.

PS:- neelabh has agreed to take us all to elevate, noida if his visa gets cleared so ohri please check what r the booking charges

good night

Hi Guys!!
Taking inspiration from ohri and neelabh even i have decided to give blogging a try, though i have no idea what i m gonna write about. Well most of us have started working or are about to, some r going to join B-schools, and some r planning to go abroad so this is one way we can stay in touch. i hope all of u start a blog soon. i was planning to start it since a couple of weeks but i finally made up my mind yesterday, when talking to manan i got the latest bits of college gossip( dont worry neelabh i m not gonna write about it, at least not now!) i realized how much i m gonna miss all this.
Unlike neelabh i dont think i can write about all my friends in a single entry. with such complex and colourful personalities i had the honour to come across i think i m gonna dedicate at least one blog entry to each of my friends and probably more for the complicated personalities, so be prepared for neelabh 1, 2 ,3 .....
since returning from dharamshala i have been attending satsangs( good company) and jagarans( good company all night with friends from school) i guess too much of good things made me fall sick. since last week i have been just sleeping eating sleeping and so on. felt a little better today so decided to start my blog. as my joining is in july i have a lot of vellah time to kill. right now i m deciding whos psycho-analysis should i do in my next blog.
Any suggestions??!!
