As we complete 5 years of togetherness! :)

This was specially written and dedicated to me by the love of my life, when we completed 5 years of togetherness on 4th December 2011 :)
Thanks a lot!!! U r the best!! Love u! :):)


chahta hun ek kaam karun, ek geet tumhare naam karun.
bhar dun usmein sab yaadein, bhuli bisri sab baatein;
is koshish mein nakam rahun.
ek geet tumhare naam karun.
wo online milna, class bunk karna,
wo ghanton tak chatting, fir bye 2 kahna.
tu jaae to kuch kaam karun.
ek geet tumhare naam karun.
wo surat station, wo kannu ki gadi,
wo sharmana tumhara, meri hoshiyari,
tere sharmane pe jaan marun.
ek geet tumhare naam karun.
wo moti se jhagde wo sone sa pyaar,
chandi sa gussa, gaaliyan beshumaar,
ye daulat tere naam karun.
ye geet tumhare naam karun.

apne relationship ki panchvin saalgirah par vishesh!

Employed! :P

Oh yeah!!! Will be interning at L'Oreal in Summer 2012! :)

Well... the last week,,, was a hell of a week!! IIMB saw its largest ever batch of 368 students get their summer internships, of which I was a part!

The week and the month before that brought myriad faces of human nature before everyone. Emotions overflowed, faces that were camouflaged lied their naked, unveiled and I saw it all. Witnessed the great Indian (Read Indian Institute of Mgmt) placement drama! The one I read abt, heard abt through media till last year.

It was hell of a time, a time when you learnt the goods and the bads, time when experienced the best and the worst, time when you saw Human Beings, as they are.. not the ones created by God, but the ones sinned by Adam and Eve!
Its a rat race! Run.. Run... and Run!!!
Run.. else you will be trampled, Run..else you will be mocked.. Run..else you will be murdered..ruthlessly, mercilessly!!

12th November 2011 - the date! The date, when I got my first job (yeah i understand its only an internship.. but still), the date which will probably wipe out the memories of the dark times associated with 12th November 2005! The date which will provide me a new reason, a more positive, optimistic and happier reason to remember 12th November! :)

It was not easy, but few people held my hand and helped me walk on this turbulent journey all the while! A special thanks to Mom, Dad, Dimpy, Bhaski, my school and colege frnz, PGP2s and last but not the least my batchmates..my friends at B here.. Neha, Tushar, Amol, Manuj, Siddharth, Daddu, and my section E and other batchmates!!
Thank u guys for making this journey memorable!
Love u all! :) :)

Because you guys are worth it! :)

And why am I doing all this?

There are times in life when you actually sit and ponder about what is happening with you. And after coming to IIM B, i have realized, these moments are a rarity... the most uncommon rarity! Today, as I write as a student of one of the best B schools in the country, I consider myself lucky to have found time to actually do this.
I am a manager in making.. my term I is on the verge of completion.. just 2 weeks more, and I will be 1/6th Manager..closer to my goal...!
Hey wait!! Did i say.. my goal??!!!
Is it?
I hear companies..who r coming these dayz to B for ppts n stuff... n seriously dude.. they don't interest me!!!! Big Names!!! to get into one of them is probably every B school student's dream!!!
N they r chasing it!!!
But why don't I feel like doing the same?
Why don't I feel doing what all the junta here do?
Why don't I crave for a job in one of these companies?
And is this acceptable?
When I walk out of this place, with a job that I want to do... will I be accepted by the society?
Common girl.. how can u do that?? Walk out of IIMB.. with 6 digit annual salary... highly traumatising for the society!!!!
You are supposed to have atleast a 18lac PA job... anything below this is highly unacceptable!!!!!
God! PLease spare me!!!
I dont wanna work this way!!!
I have my own set of dreams... n unfortunately they do not correlate well with the set of dreams people have here.!!
I am here... because I feel that this place will prepare me and make me more capable of chasing my dreams!

I have a dream!
To educate India!

n i sit here...

Praying..for it to come true!

I Pray...

and I DREAM!!

Sapna dekha hai maine...
Maine bhi dekha hai sapna....
Maine dekha Ek sapna...

Its 5 AM!

Yay! Its 5 AM in the morning.. and its yet to be a night for me! Welcome to IIM Bangalore!
Its been 58 days to be precise, since I began this new journey of my life. And If I was to calculate the average hours of sleep, for these 58 days, It may come out to be 4-5 hours per day. Good enough! Now you know the reason why PGP2s (The senior batch at B) came up with the insomniac thread on FB. I am up today abhi tak.. to complete a Managerial Communication assignment. A HBR Case study for a 30 day old management student.. LIfe. huh??!!!!
This place is an enigma. It makes you laugh.. makes you cry.. makes you ponder.. even wen u r in deep slumber. I just noticed..I have reduced the number of words I write incompletely. :P "B School Effect" :P
Nothing happens here without a reason. And this place has.. to some extent marred my believe that everything happens for good! I hope I am able to hold on firmly to my believe after 2 yrs.. and the place doesnt succeed in making me believe otherwise.
The most important and interesting part of this place is..the people! "Junta" as I call them!
They are the most intriguing mix of personalities one can ever come across. Diverse professionally, academically,psychologically, mentally, emotionally, geographically.. and every other "ally" u can probably think of.
You love them.. or hate them.. but u just cant ignore them. :)
Have made few treasured friends here.. enjoy their company!
Acads is bit torturing! Trying to cope! Maths is again a nightmare as usual!
I dont know what I feel about this place yet.. like I told..Its an Enigma! But I know what I want of this place! A lifetime of learning! Beyond books, classes... Beyond a high paying job.. I want this place to give me what I came here for!! n thats.. LIFE! :)
Ciao! :)
Good Night! :)
P.S Its 5:10 AM now! :) :) :)

Jeena EC ka naam hai!

Fate brought us together
Our class of II EC,
Week long we strive to survive
Gulping down DC and EC.

Cursed lady luck initially
For being so unfair to us,
Jab We Met strangers here
Always fussy and really bugged.

It’s been two semesters now,
And we are now a class
Friends and foes we have made
Cursing fate is now a passé

“College is fun”, we now say
Amplify our friendship by the day
Tall and short, lean and stout
Together we study diodes vectors and Crout.

EMag, SSD and ofcourse EMI
Leave us in a state of complete Bheja Fry
Week long we collectively work
Solving circuits of electrical networks

Another day has come and gone
Another twilight follows the dawn
Another file needs to be completed
Another circuit needs to be connected.

Destined to be together,
All the days of our college lives
We pledge to be always mutual,
And respond to the natural vibe.

I wrote this poem long back in 2008, when i was in 2nd year of my engineering college. I wrote it for our college magazine, Graffiti'08! I just found the magazine lying in my cupboard.. and reading the poem.. brought back memories of SCET! I am just posting it here...for all of u to read! :)

Its to B!! :)

Guys!!!

Life is so dramatic!!! yeah.. It gives u the most unexpected of happiness in the most unexpected times! Something like this happened to me recently. My last post dated 17th May says that I am a FMS student. I stay corrected on this now! I am an IIM Bangalore student now.!! :) :) :)
The results were out on 18th of May. To be very honest, after an okies-types interview, I wasn't expecting this call to convert. But I made it there!!! :) :) :)
Was in a kind of dilemma, between FMS n B, as i was completely unprepared for B and had myself all set for FMS, so this was taking time to settle down. After numerous discussions with people who could provide inputs on this, i zeroed down to B!! :)
I am having a time of my life now!! The discussion forums.. the people i am interacting with.. seeing the proud feeling in my parents' eyes when i saw them the campus videos.. these all are a dream come true!! :) I know i have worked hard for it.. and it would not have been possible.. if God had not destined me to be there!!
Mr.Glutton is back to Delhi.. n m missing him like hell!! :( :(
I was in delhi last week.. to cancel my FMS seat. Had a good time with him n Charu there. I am not very sure.. wen we r gonna meet again. :(
I am looking for a lappy n a mobile these days.. have thot of Samsung Galaxy 551.. Android based phone as of now. Lets c wen i get one!! :)
I have an online maths exam on 21st.. owing to my low quants percentile in CAT. The syllabus has already made me confident that I am flunking it. I need to attend a prep course for 3 weeks if i flunk the exam. N i am already prepared to attend the same. MATHS is not my cup of tea!!!! Plz God!!! plz help me...!!!!
Other then that.. nothing much is happening,.. will update u soon.. :)
Ciao!!

LIFE!!!! :)

Not very late!!! :) well well well... I am a FMS student now!!! :) Yayiieee!! :) :)I will be going to Delhi finally!!!... n I know...its going to be my home for the rest of my life! Its been a month today since I got the result but i could not mention it here!
Have booked a room in Manmeet's PG at Kamla Nagar! Its heaven for shopping freaks like me!! :) Charu stays pretty close.. n m sure we r gonna have a ball!! :)
My IIM Bangalore results are to be out tomorrow... but I dont wanna go there..even if I convert my call!!! I know this may sound insane to most out thr.. buh then m serious!! IIM B belongs to a different league altogether and I feel that I somehow dont belong there. I was destined to go to Delhi.. my future home!! :) The city where I found my love... :) :)!!!
Have got to know few of my classmates too..! Riddhi..my future roomie..a sweet, sensible n intelligent gal.. m sure.. we r goin to gel well together!! :) Jeet.. a guy from Kolkata.. whom I met during SIBM, DMS IITD and finally FMS interviews!! :)I really hope that i make friends for a lifetime here too.. just like my school friends!! :)
I am just too excited about starting this new phase of my life..!! Something that has been the most important issue of last two years of my life! :)
For now.. m just getting bugged at home.. waiting for the 1st of July!! :)
Well.. apart from this... therz nothing really interesting to jot down here..!
Reading a few novels simultaneously --- Twilight,Godfather,Dilli to Pagal Hai, and If God went to a B school.. would Love follow him there??! The last one is a story by FMS alum.. of a guy from FMS! so really enjoying it!! was recommended by Jeet!
The last one I read was Joker in the Pack, an IIM B alum's story!!
Watched quite a few movies.. FALTU, Serendipity, Harry Potter Part 1,2 and 3! :) Actually I am finding lotsa time for all these stuff these dayz! :)

There are lots of things that have happened since my last post.lets get to each one of them. I dont know if people reading my blog will be really interested in reading them. But then it is always nice to read ur blog posts urself. Serves as a reminder, a chronology of things! Helps me to retrospect!

So starting with.. the major incident keeping me busy was my admission in B schools. Wrote CAT,IIFT,FMS,SNAP and JMET. Calls from IIM B,I,K,Rohtak,Raipur,Trichy, FMS, SIBM,SCMHRD,IIT D and B! Converts yet: SIBM :) rejects yet: SCMHRD :( Rest will keep u updated!!!
Have been travelling a lot since 3 months! Earlier for exams and now for interviews. There are 2 visits to Delhi and 2 to Mumbai scheduled this month. Went to Pune thrice last month. It was fun.
Have been reading a lot too. And its not novels this time. I have developed a strong liking for newspapers and e-news these days. Like keeping a tab on whatever is happening around. Started doing it for interviews but have actually started liking it! :) :) And I love myself for this!

Few imporant things..!! Charu got married!! :) Pratibha had a baby boy on 16th Feb! :) :), My classmates Sheetal and Vaishu got married! :) My project partner Dhairya got a job!! :) :)
Read a few books too...! The Lost Symbol, Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, Can't die for size zero :P and few more.. cant recollect now..!! Presently reading The Godfather .... bought it from Pune's roadside vendor.
Movies: the disastrous Tees Maar Khan! Tanu weds Manu.. nice one!... Don't hav company to go to movies! So have to do without them!! wanted to watch a numerous flicks like NOKJ, Dabangg... buh then..m all alone!! :( :(
Baaki to its all as usual.. I hope everything goes well!! :) :)
Chao! :)
