Fundas of economics

Just coming back from an economics class. And damn it!! I haven't seen someone better than the professor at lullabies.
The only time that I woke up was to have some laughs over this:
"Once a physicist, a chemist and an economist were hungry and pondering over how to open a can of food.
The physicist tried first to open the can. He said he knew a technique to apply force which would crack open the can. He applied force to it and failed.
The Chemist tried next. He said he knew a chemical to melt the can open. He too failed.
Finally the economist smiled with confidence. He said lets assume that the can is open........."







Yes the joke is over!

Meri pehli class

So the classes started....the first one being MAN(i)AC...or so is the outcome when a person undergoes this course.....Management Accouting......not taking much time here are the teacher's chosen remarks in the class:

"This is a very exciting course....." (well the remark is fine except for the sadistic smile which can't be reflected in just words!!!)

"You have come late today. Welcome. But I am very good at spoiling the moods of people in the morning when they come late."

"If you are caught in the class talking to someone else, you are out the next moment. Generally you will talk when there is an opposite sex sitting beside you. But you should talk to me instead in such cases also." (here he goes again! remember the smile....:( )

I am onto something fast...

The heat is on....i m on something fast....something really fast.....that makes me sweat and leaves just about time for a bath which relives me of the sweat in the hel(L)ish heat.......
on a run....here are the first few glimpses of the life to some....
This one if the first step in Lucknow with anoher loving pet named 'tintin"...named just because the first day he was sighted he was wearing a bell round his neck sounding tin tin....:)

The view from my room.....lucky me...he he noooo.....the flash shows the sunlight effect.....otherwise its all dark out in the forest....anyways i have to get used to the jungle sounds....;)....

Bloody hel(L)....10 books 6 photo copied books just for the first semester besides loads of other assignments........:( or :).....thats sweat after carrying all that stuff from library to room.....I am already feeling the weight of things to come.....:)
The close up view may give a better idea....

sweating again......going for a bath.......

Something to keep one going......

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man my son!

Please take head injuries seriously.....

18th July 2005: Shashi joined STMicroelectronics with me
6 May 2008: Gave resignation. Was very happy. And feeling on top of the world like me.
9th May 2008: At one of his friend's place fell down in the washroom. There was a hit on his head when he fell down, and he took it as just a bad day. Went to sleep. Woke up feeling nauseated and was getting fits Friends gave him a glass of water and took it lightly as similar fits happened to him earlier also.
(afternoon): Went into coma, admitted to AIIMS. Put on a ventilator. Doctors not able to diagnose the problem.
Parents came down to see him. Parents in shock after seeing their happy child on ventilator. Doctors clueless about the real problem. After many rigorous tests the problem diagnosed to be a blood clot in brain.
22nd May 2008: Lost my friend......

Life before IIM

Passing time in office was a hell of a task. All through my preparation I had this scanned print out of my hand put on my work space. Although I don't know anything about palmistry but I was trying to search where my destiny lines will take me. I experienced all the possible day dreams and the daymares (well the nightmares during daytime !! :) ) .

Now the results are out and I am heading to Hel(L). The journey through IIM L or Hel(L) has not even started and I am already wondering about the things to come. The following link is proving to be very good at giving a glimpse of the future:

My notice board says it loudly:



Someone asked, "what does BDTG mean???"
I said, "Guess buddy!"
He guessed, "Ummm....Is it Bad days to go? Hai na?? Well your smile is saying it all!!"
Me,"Yes!!!!".....:)

I am feeling all the excitement, the exhilaration, the blues of departing with friends and the fear.....the blues and the fear...overpowering......but then I knew it subconsciously, still I am unable to prepare myself.....I feel the rush coming......I see my picture below and I am unable to find all the feelings.........I just smile helplessly and wait.....

Meeting DK

It started with a dust storm. The rains followed. Quiet unexpected after a day of open skies and blistering heat in delhi. I was on my way to mama’s house. And coincidentally “mama I am coming home” was blaring from my speakers. Gaurav Adhikari Apartments. Room no 303. Jhonny was sitting in the chair proudly showing off his lean figure with swollen up biceps. Mama was lying down on the floor with the peculiar smile. Dk was laughing out loud. He has grown fatter. Cheeks are all swollen up. His neck is completely hidden behind the bulging big chin. The tond part has got enormous and hard. Homo jumps in from najafgarh. All sucked up after having loads of cigarettes. And the masti begins with the usual arbitapa. Pulling of legs is a usual. And then the news broke out from mama and jhonny.

Jhonny was more definite about his marriage in November or December. He was all loaded up by his father-in-law. A gold chain, two silver earrings, one silver ring, a gold ring and a wrist watch are all small presents from the girl’s father.

Mama is also ready for the marriage after all the one night stands. And the talks are already up. Mama has got the love thing started with the girl’s pic on his mobile phone. The kundli matching exercise is on now days for mama. And the strange part: only 3 gunds are matching for mama and the girl. Well no strange thing since mama has as such got no gunds J. Then the debate started on the necessity of matching kundlis, the 36 gunds (actually homo was in no agreement for this part also). The pundit’s comment for mama is pathetic; he had never seen such low number of matching gunds. But then mama is now in love with the girl as already disclosed by mama himself. And the boasting by mama began at this point….(let’s leave the crap J)

Dk was as the same as he was 2 years earlier. In the best of the spirits he was rolling all over the place. He had just reduced 8 kilos and still weighed 80 kilos. (BTW he told that Rapi in Bangalore is much ahead of him in the competition, he just clocked 110 kilos!!!). The khattas were free flowing from him. (Question: Who is a girl who gives gaali? Answer: Bengali!).

It was great to meet him after such a long time. And we together remembered the cherished moments from IITG days. I miss the masti with him and I don’t know when I will meet him again. But I think I will wait cause it is worth it…..

R2's last day....on our way back from office.....

My defining moments (part 2)

Remember Shawshank Redemption??? I remember the movie down to the very moment that the two friends finally meet on the beach side. And the present moment seems to me like the one when Andy Dufresne comes out of the shit hole. Well I reember the lines: "Andy crawled to freedom through five-hundred yards of shit smelling foulness I can't even imagine, or maybe I just don't want too."

And I also do remember the narration some time early in the movie : "And that's how it went for Andy - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him."

How I like that movie that I am thinking on the same lines, "And that's how it went on with me-routine- hard work, politicking, false promises, backbiting....I do believe that the first two years were the worst for me, and I do believe that if I went on working in the same way, this place would have got the best of me."

But alas.........only the shit needs to be washed up now....:)....I don't regret it.....I don't have time for that ;)
