Reboot - College 2.0

Visiting this blissful arena again after a period of indefinite exile feels like a flower blossoming in spring following the harsh winters. Life has changed a hell lot since I wrote my last post and well it has changed for good. I stepped out from the mundane professional life to add few more credentials on my resume, became a student again and now experiencing the college life yet again..for I am pursuing my much awaited MBA.

 

It wouldn't have been more special than to post a new topic on the 1st sunday of August, The

Friendship Day.New place implies new people which implies new friends some of which will become my friends for life and rest well not history but friends converted to conversances.

 

The new place doesn't imply that I'll forget my Caustic Confederates -- VJ a.k.a Bhaiyaji, Arunesh a.k.a Tunna / BRBman, Ghosh a.k.a Abhishek, Himanshu a.k.a Andrew, Varun a.k.a Nischal and Rao a.k.a Guruji - Miss you guys a lot though CC'ing is on - full ON !!

 

Now, fellow IMTians [sounds more professional..ehh?] in alphabetical order..

 

Aalap Oza a.k.a OLAP - Our very own ROFL rangmanchala. A great actor, awesome at QTBD and mimic-ing Mr. XYZ.. " isn't it? " ..if yes..then " Appreciate it " without saying Ooo Maii Godd !!

 

Lakshay a.k.a Thakur - This DU fella is still awaiting for his results to be declared so that he can get his car to Nagpur and is one hell of a nocturnal guy. Ohh yeah..the minute you separate him from his BlackBerry - you'll get to know how a fish feels without water :D

 

Madhusudan a.k.a. Madhu/Chharia/Saali - Artist bhai..you just can't stop praising and "appreciating" his creations..always perplexed when it comes to ordering food - "Humko itna dekh ke kuch kuch hone lagta hai..humko samjh nahi aata" - in a semi controlled Nana Patekar style.

 

Meghna a.k.a Maggie/Megs- chalti firti ROFL ki PLACECOM..an expert in victory walks..self

proclaimed miss universe..believes in not sharing chocolates..how mean ??? Gets high with Thumbs up :O :O

 

Mohit a.k.a Baby - Eco guy..1st bhai of Misra ji in IMT..btw Eco means economics. Lately, he's trying to balance his life in between B and D blocks [ high jumped C ]

 

Monika Misra a.k.a Bhai/Misra ji/Sambha - Claims that she doesnt sleep but claims are meant to be fake..isn't it? Awesome at finance, economics and getting hurt. just say "Misra Ji..kaisan ba?" - you'll be running like a deer in front of a leopard.

 

Nidhi Gupta a.k.a Dawood/Gabbar - This power house is equivalent to a 1000W Amplifier with paws like an eagle, which you can feel in a single handshake itself..yet always behind me asking me to cut my nails..

 

Pratik Parikh a.k.a. ZooZoo/Jaadiya - he's gonna kill me for writing jaadiya over here..but can't miss an oppurtunity like this. Famous for his zoozoo mimicry, tensed for loosing X [yes single digit] weight in one month..

 

Prateek Sikka a.k.a Sikka - sadda Punjab da puttar whose smile these days are disconnected with his eyes. Straightforward guy,lately ventured into senti poetry - yes "sahi batao" his fav. phrase

 

Swarna a.k.a Golden: "Tora tora" girl..who literally needs to be pushed to finish her food

fast..thanks for the karachi bakery biscuits :D

 

Last but not the least..Sakshi..Thank you for everything :) :)

 

Wrapping up the post with a few stanzas from the song which I think is utterly pertinent for this journey - College 2.0

 

Graduation - Friends forever - Vitamin C


And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives

Where we're gonna be when we turn 25

I keep thinking times will never change

Keep on thinking things will always be the same

But when we leave this year we won't be coming back

No more hanging out cause we're on a different track

And if you got something that you need to say

You better say it right now cause you don't have another day

Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down

These memories are playing like a film without sound

And I keep thinking of that night in June

I didn't know much of love

But it came too soon

And there was me and you

And then we got real blue

Stay at home talking on the telephone

And we would get so excitedand we'd get so scared

Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair

And this is how it feels

 

 

As we go on

We remember

All the times we

Had together

And as our lives change

From whatever

We will still be

Friends Forever

 

So if we get the big jobs

And we make the big money

When we look back now

Will our jokes still be funny?

Will we still remember everything we learned in school?

Still be trying to break every single rule

Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?

Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?

I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye

Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

And this is how it feels




Love you all buddies..

Between odds and the ones!

It's odd how those who were complete strangers are the ones who are now the best buddies It's odd how those who never expressed their feelings while they were together are the ones who end up becoming a couple It's odd how those who show me the highest love  are the ones who expresses it the least in words It's odd how those who express the love in words  are the ones who end up hurting the most It's odd how those who botched up every damn thing are the ones who make you feel chagrined It's odd how those who plead for mercy, pardon are the ones who deserve it the least It's odd how those who are always smiling and make you smile are the ones who have overcome many griefs It's odd how those who have been through many griefs/heartbreaks are the ones who can always overcome the pain Probably, It's odd because everything can be related to time and space.. But for me, It's odd because I don't think its odd!(o

Ramblings Again!

Consider a situation where you are signing a pact with  chariness, lack of authenticity and selfishness. You might ruin, in fact poison the relationship even before laying the foundation stone. People with whom you are dealing with will have a hard time in the face of your  incredulity, they won't be disputed to rise to your level of expectations. Over the years, I've learnt one thing. O ne should prefer concentrating on the goodwill of mortals who are doing work with you. No matter what you do, where you go, you are bound to encounter those handful of people who will try their very best to disappoint to you but eventually you'll understand that is their sole purpose of life. One thing, which I've understood during PG course is the importance of an open mind and an open heart but that just increases the vulnerability.  Maybe, one should give others a chance to live up to our trust and others should not be on a hunt to try to cultivate trust in spite of knowing

And here it is..Century!

So, the day has arrived. Finally! 100th post of my blog. I struggled with what should be the milestone post! Should it be prolific? Idealistic in nature. Broad in scope. So, I struggled. Back in 2007, few of my friends were bitten by the bug of blogging. Somehow, I managed  to spend one complete year, protecting myself from being bitten by this bug. But then, in 2008, my immunity gave in and I was affected by it. Over the years, I've seen myself maturing and its direct impact is visible in my posts. What started as a fun filled blog illustrating some of the interesting incidents of my under graduation, recipes which I used to cook(I don't have a kitchen now, only 3-4 outlets to survive apart from the mess where I hardly eat) to feelings which I used to pen down, now contains rants, poems, videos, pictures and not to forget articles. I had almost given up blogging last year but this year I started again. There was this intense drive from within to go on writing and
