At the start of this year, I decided to treat myself with a new cellphone. Given that I am one of the worst informed souls around when it comes to these gizmos, I decided to seek help from few friends at IIMA campus like Satyaki (Chatta) and Narayanan (Dastak). Since both of them owned Motorazr, I almost decided to buy one for myself. I coerced one of my friends to accompany me to a nearby Croma where I got the all new Motorazr v3i Black. But, all this is history, why am I bothering you with all this???
Because I was on the verge of losing it, not once but twice - that too on consecutive days in last week.
On the first day, I went for a meeting with my colleagues and on my way back, I left the phone in my colleague's car. Since I had taken an auto to reach home from where my colleague had dropped me, there was no way for me to ascertain where did I lose my lovely, Motorazr? But, thanks to Ankur and Rajesh, my blackberry had a message informing me about the incident even before I had a chance to start worrying about it.
But, as they say, some people always learn it the hard way. And, I did not wait too long for receiving another lesson, a tougher one.
I again lost it the next day and this time again, I had no clue whether I left it at office or in an auto while coming back home. And, as my fate would have it, it was in the auto. I indeed got my lesson, was really anxious and tried calling the cellphone. Every second while it was ringing, it kept my hopes alive of regaining the phone and finally at last, someone picked it up and told me that he was at Kurla station and was with the auto driver in whose auto I had left the phone.
I immediately got one auto and reached the station, mumbling prayers on my way. The person waited for me at the Hanuman Mandir near the station and was kind to return it.
This incident taught me a clear lesson about my carelessness and I will definitely try not to repeat such mistakes. But, apart from the lesson, I also got a chance to witness the honesty and integrity of poor people like this auto driver in India who value their conscience, way higher than money.
The phone is worth 6-7K and he could have easily fetched money equivalent to his weekly income had he fallen under the temptation.
I am glad that Honesty prevailed, temptation lost

Reservation and common man
Yes, I know this is what you are thinking - has reservation become my pet topic? Though I can write on other issues but something happened that instigated me to write about this topic once again.
There is a small shop near my house which is run by Mr. X, who is a gujjar from rajasthan by caste. He knows that I am a native of Rajasthan and for some unknown reason, thinks that I have some connection with media.
I went to his shop some 3 weeks after Rajasthan govt. granted additional 5% reservation to Gujjars. He welcomed me with a smirk and quipped, "aap media wale chahe kitna hungama kiye, lekin hum logon ko bhi paanch taka (5%) mil hi gaya".
I know this guy has moved with his full family, lock, stock and barrel to mumbai and may be does not go to Rajasthan even once a year. This reservation is hardly going to bring an iota of change in his life but his happiness knew no bounds.
Since this common man is the one who decides the government, it is no surprise that all the political parties have queued up to pander to unreasonable and unsustainable demands of these so-called backward castes.
God save the talent of this nation !!!

Mumbai Rains
Rains are supposed to be a much-awaited respite from the scorching heat of summer and receive warm welcome everywhere but they are dreaded in Mumbai. Why?? Huh, seems like u have never been to Mumbai in the month of June and July else you would have not asked the question.
But even if you have not visited Mumbai, you must have heard of the devastation caused during the July 2005 "floods" in Mumbai. Believe me, the government has taken no steps to ensure that such events will not get repeated anytime in future, may be even this year.
It rains like crazy in this city for days - morning, evening, basically anytime... it might disrupt your schedule of reaching and/or leaving office, it may KILL your weekend plans...may bring an end to your social life by forcing you to keep indoors even on Saturday evenings.
If you are going to suggest why don't you take a cab and enjoy your time, you are unaware that most of the roads in Mumbai (esp. Andheri-Kurla Road) would get clogged with rainwater. One of these days you might be stuck somewhere (or in middle of nowhere) because the cab (you took to keep yourself prim and dry) has suddenly declined to move and for quite sometime, you are not going to get another one.
Mumbai is a great city but rains in Mumbai are a mess...still I'm enjoying it.

OBC Reservation - A deadly political weapon
All the views mentioned as under are entirely personal and if someone feels hurt, it is totally coincidental and unintentional.
The much waited Supreme court judgement has been announced granting OBC reservation to non-creamy layer. I personally believe this heinous act of impeding the growth of world class educational institutes has been committed to derive political mileage in the upcoming elections. Every political party will try to harvest this issue to the maximum but here are a few facts:
1. There are approximately less than 2000 IIM seats, less than 5000 IIT seats and hardly 500 seats in the medical institutes like AIIMS etc. which are getting affected by this judgement. The total number of reserved seats (27% reservation) would mean approximately 1500-2000 students annually. Now, this is a minuscule number in our country of a population of 1 Billion whose significant percentage of population falls under OBC. So, only a small fraction of aam aadmi gets affected but a large vote bank can be moved because whether we like it or not, caste politics is still widely prevalent in this country, specially states like UP, Bihar where the regional parties like RJD, SP and BSP continually play the caste card.
2. But, it kills these institutes which have been built in last five decades with the sweat and blood of visionaries like Dr. Vikram Sarabhai. Fortunately, I have studied at both IIT and IIM and I can say for sure, their biggest strength is their incoming talent pool which will get majorly diluted with the reservation policy.
3. Our friends from the oppressed section of the society need enablement and not reservation. I have seen people from SC/ST reservation struggling in academics at IIT (which are much easier than entrance exams in difficulty level) and spending extra year. In IIT, we had a prep course for a significant number of SC/ST students to bring them at par with other students. How is the mismanagement of quality higher education justified in the name of reservation?
4. Who gets the benefit of reservation? For getting into IIT with reservation, the kid needs to do his intermediate at a good school. Now a days, he must go to an IIT coaching institute as well - who can pay for all this? Only those in reserved category who do not need reservation....
I know of friends who are studying at second line of colleges despite being adequately smart because they were born as high caste but believe me the colour of their blood is same as that of an OBC/SC/ST.
5. What should we do? More initiatives like super 30 in Patna by Mr. Anand Kumar may be a step in the right direction.
6. The honorable SC has suggested that the need for reservation should be reviewed regularly. Does any political party have the courage to withdraw reservation? If I am not wrong, even SC/ST reservation was introduced for a period of 10 years with a need to review after that and it has been extended ever since by every political party.
Finally, I would like to use this forum to urge you to express your views candidly in the comments section of this blog.

The first sign of Change
I arrived in mumbai on the morning of 18 march 2007 and i know this is gonna be my home for next few years, may be decades ... may be the rest of my life, who knows. There was nothing much different in this journey in Gujarat Mail, AC 3 tier from Ahmedabad to Mumbai Central.
I was received by my mausaji and was taken to his home where I spent a night. Next day, i arrived at Room-503 of AB's executive serviced apartments in bandra.
But, the first signs of change were felt today when my mobile charge ran down twice in a day. In the past, it has always been the balance which led my cellphone to stop working instead of the charge and it turned itself into a device for playing games :) :) .
I arrived in mumbai with more than Rs. 600 of balance...something that would have lasted me more than a couple of months in WIMWI, lasted me only a couple of days in Mumbai.
All of this, thanks to mumbai real estate brokers - the people whom I have been talking and wandering with for last two days without much success. I am now praying for getting some success in my hunt for a house in aamchi mumbai, a place which would be home for next few years.

Fifth C of CCCS
If you go on a street and ask anyone, how many C's are there in CCCS - he will obviously say 3 C's and he is right because he is not a WIMWIan (as we, the students of IIMA proudly call ourselves).
Every WIMWIan knows that there are 4 C's in CCCS and it is the fourth C named RaviC which makes it all the more interesting (and sometimes frightening :P). RaviC is not only a Prof, he is a legend and has a reputation (favorable or otherwise, can't say...) across the batches. The man is dedicated towards this institute and has given the best decades of his life in building this institution. He is undoubtedly very intelligent and sharp. He joined IIMA at a very young age, in fact he jokes saying some of his students were older than him. So, just for the 4th C of CCCS, more than 90 second years enrolled for this course in fifth term... to put it in perspective, due to exchange, there are only 160-170 tuchchas in campus in this term and hence more than half the batch was eagerly attending CCCS to learn the nuances of business strategy in RaviC isshtyle.
I am sure you are thinking 4C's are OK but now, how come the fifth C?
RaviC is a demanding professor and second yr. junta who has fallen into the habit of taking things for granted by this time of the year, gets to see this final and most deterimental C much later when the grades arrive.
Believe me it takes hard work, passion and sincerity to escape the trauma of fifth C of CCCS but in the end, it is all worth it. So, if you are not a WIMWIan, work hard and get admitted into this great institute. If you are a WIMWIan, do take CCCS if for nothing, just the experience of 4th C and work hard enough to escape the fifth and final C........

जीवन चलने का नाम

This song aptly captures my current heartfelt feelings, which made me draft this final post on Dbabble.................
Hi all,
I have my train in few hours and I have not yet started packing my stuff.
I have been living campus life for 6 years, I do not know any other style of living...I even feel like a guest at my home. I just do not feel like living this place. It is difficult for me to accept that 2 years are over and it is time to move again...
I am thankful to this place for all it gave me. I would never be able to list them all but let me try my best.
D5, The Penthouse , The home of Lech Gods....a lot of sweet memories will remain..
The first year with me and Toka in the same group, same section, same dorm....things went really smooth ...after all, I was with the smooth operator of the batch.
The numerous trips I made with Skumar, to diu, jaisalmer, gir and even to scotland willl always have a cherished place in my memory.
I will miss the after dinner chai trips of D5 where we made Appel pay every time...
I will miss taking Pinki's case for his D2 basement late night trips.
I cant forget fooka, toby, ppaw, bubba and mundu - our jai maharashtra group....now that I am going to mumbai, i need to learn more of marathi :-)
The prayaas team - arash, coco, neela, radhika, annanya, ppaw, rui, ubika -> their dedication is something tht will keep inspiring me in future as well...
The second yr came with numerous contests...I will miss working with people like Chatta, Pranav, Piyush, Thita, Vartika, Gendy, Adrian, Dash, Ankit,Tikiya, Nisha, Tasha and Doc
I will cherish the memories of MC class where Kaushik, Theju, Nisha, Ankit helped me to improve a great deal.
I will remember the LEM class...the ERI group....the strat safari junta....Bad Boys Club (BBC rawks ....)
Apart from this, there are many more who have helped me through out the last two years....please pardon me for missing your names.
See you during convo,

Boost your brains !!!!!!!
It is often touted that people get complacent after getting into prestigious institutes like IITs and IIMs. Having been at both these places, I have seen the faculty getting worried about how to boost these (so-called, I do not believe it) best brains of the nation. To help them, biological researchers have come up with this path breaking conclusion -
Chocolate and sex can boost brain.
Just to let you know that, this is not a creation of an idle mind - you can check it for yourself on rediff news. Now, the need of the time is to realize the gravity of the situation and act on this finding.
The institute authorities need to take the actions on both the fronts immediately:
Chocolates - The easier part
This part is too tough to be answered by an inexperienced unfortunate zombie locked in the male dominated campuses of IIT-IIM for last 6 years. Hence, I would invite insightful comments from the experienced readers in this regard.
The institute authorities need to take the actions on both the fronts immediately:
Chocolates - The easier part
- Tie into sponsorship contracts with all the chocolate majors - Nestle, Cadbury etc.
- Ask the global recruitment companies to bring with them cartoons of imported swiss and Belgian chocolates to please the taste buds of the premium Indian talent
- To provide convenience to the best minds while ensuring delivery of chocolates - make on-campus arrangements 24X7 room delivery.
This part is too tough to be answered by an inexperienced unfortunate zombie locked in the male dominated campuses of IIT-IIM for last 6 years. Hence, I would invite insightful comments from the experienced readers in this regard.

MANAC ke corrected quiz papers baat-te thein

Driver No. 1
A couple of months back, this blog saw a post (Failed yet again) from a dejected individual counting the failures of his life. But, the guy did not give up and he kept trying and this reminds of the oft quoted line from "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho -
If you aspire for something very earnestly, the whole world conspires to do it for you
If you aspire for something very earnestly, the whole world conspires to do it for you
I got my driving license for both 2 wheelers and LMVs yesterday after having failed the test on November 19, 2007. It took extra efforts from my instructor, Mr. Mehboob to train a dumb head like me.
Thanks to Sumit and Ashok from my dorm, I can comfortably drive motorcycles on Ahmedabad roads which is a big achievement if you take into account the unruly traffic and the gujjus who are always in a hurry. Though I am still a little jittery when it comes to driving a car, I hope to be able to ride it comfortably soon.
My next target - Perfecting my skills as a car driver, buying a nice silver color car and taking my mother for the maiden drive beside the sea on the Mumbai marine drive.
Expected Time line: 1-2 years

Love
It was 9th of January, 2008. I was spending a lazy evening in the gallaries of Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai. While I was getting bored, I visted the Landmark store in the gallery and found this book - The road less travelled By M.Scott Peck.
The book is divided into four sections - Discipline, love, growth and religion and grace. I would not recommend you to read the whole book but I like the section on love. I am quoting a few interesting thoughts verbatim from the book.
Feel free to share your views about them - I myself do not agree with all of them.

Feel free to share your views about them - I myself do not agree with all of them.
The temporary collapse of egos that constitutes falling in love
is a stereotypic response of human beings to internal sex drives
and external sexual stimuli which serves to increase the
probability of sexual pairing.
Falling in love is a trick that our genes pull on an otherwise
perceptive mind to trap us into marriage.
The myth of romantic love is a dreadful lie.
Falling out of love may be the beginning of "real" love.
Sex and love are basically dissociate phenomena.
In itself, making love is not an act of love.
If being loved is your goal, you will fail to achieve it.
The only way to be assured of being loved is to be a person
worthy of love and you cannot be a person worthy of love when
your primary goal in life is to passively be loved.
Marriage is an efficient division of labor between the two spouses.
A successful marriage can exist only between two strong independent persons,
who are into it not due to compulsion of dependency but by sheer choice.
Dependency destroys rather than build relationships.
It destroys rather than builds people.
Love is not simply giving, it is judicious giving and judicious withholding as well.

23 and still going
I turned 23 today. It felt really great when all my friends called me right from the stroke of the midnight to convey the birthday wishes. Those sweet words took me to the top of the world. I am really amazed how all these people remember the date as I am really bad at it.
Friends are really a treasure for life. The campus friends arrived at the room, right at the stroke of the midnight. The friends from school days and IIT days were also calling right from the morning. I am really surprised at the patient lot who kept on trying my number while i was attending the early morning class.
Thanks to all of you.

2008 - The year Ahead
We started the year on a happy note with a game of poker (no money involved, we don't gamble :P) and a fun filled roof top party. This was supplemented with a new year gift of a nicely written orkut testimonial. But, the dream 2008 comes to an end with an early morning class and an MIPM quiz.
But, you know there is much more to this year than these silly things. I would not even remember them few years down the line. This year is going to leave indelible imprints on my life as I would join the IIMA batch of 2008. This is the year when I would leave the cosy environment of academics and campus life to enter the real practical world. I am yet not sure of what job I am going to take, where will I be few months from now but my belief in God says, it will all turn out to be great, even better than what I can dream of.

Here comes the new year,
filled with fun and cheer.
Another brick in the wall,
makes us all stronger.
Another step of the path,
brings the destiny closer.
The hopes are very high,
I have wings to fly.
The troubles may come by,
But Never say Die.
Come, join the ranks
walk with the comrades.
The sun is rising from the bay,
We will make our own way.

2007 - Summary of an eventful year
Jan - Mar
The year started with my journey from home to Ahmedabad. I was going to start with a new group for my third term. I had heard that there was going to be a lot of group work and I hardly knew my group mates. In due course of time, their sincerity and professionalism towards work really impressed me and by the time, I left the campus for summer internship, I had won some good friends for life.
We, the new Entre team (IIMA's Entrepreneurship club) had very successfully organized the annual Venture Capitalists' Conclave at IIM Ahmedabad. Thanks to amazing efforts by Kunal (Head, CIIE), Vikas Nair, Pranay Gupta, Vijayendra, Vartika, Kaushik, Prashant, Ajay among others.
Apr-May
These two months were spent in the cosmopolitan environment of London in an enviable investment bank. I really enjoyed the support that I received from the alumni and seniors on the desk. The hours were chill and work was interesting. I am glad that unlike many others, I was not just making ppts and pushing numbers without understanding them. I could take full ownership of my work and thoroughly enjoyed it. Except the high cost of living and the tax rate, London seemed like heaven.
Jun-Aug
The fourth term had started, the regular first year classes were gone and the workload of IIMA vanished all of a sudden. I simply did not know what to do. I took in additional subjects to kill time, but to no avail. I had taken a course by Prof. Sunil Handa, "Laboratory for Entrepreneurship" - Thanks to it, I was still interested in IIMA.
The Prayaas school (IIMA school for slum children) kids had started going regularly to Sahjananda School. We were collaborating with Riverside for improving the study environment at Prayaas. Radhika and others led a good dramatics workshop for the school kids.
Sep-Nov
Things started changing for a little.
Entre Club under the leadership of Vijayendra organized the first Social Entrepreneurship event in the history of IIMA - Pratyarpana, the brainchild of Prof. Anil Gupta. We also organized the first Idea Camp at IIM Ahmedabad, in collaboration with CIIE. Thanks to Kunal, Devanshi and Charmie.
Piyush's visa got canceled and we teamed up for our course work. I still think how come we never spent time together earlier. But, it is never too late to start and I am fortunate that I got to know him during the fifth term.
I started participating in B-school contests, thanks to Gendy for taking me in Jumping Jalebis. We started with a couple of failures but the results did not matter, the team spirit did and I was truly enjoying working with this team.
In due course of time, our patience paid and the wildest of our dreams came true -
The year started with my journey from home to Ahmedabad. I was going to start with a new group for my third term. I had heard that there was going to be a lot of group work and I hardly knew my group mates. In due course of time, their sincerity and professionalism towards work really impressed me and by the time, I left the campus for summer internship, I had won some good friends for life.
We, the new Entre team (IIMA's Entrepreneurship club) had very successfully organized the annual Venture Capitalists' Conclave at IIM Ahmedabad. Thanks to amazing efforts by Kunal (Head, CIIE), Vikas Nair, Pranay Gupta, Vijayendra, Vartika, Kaushik, Prashant, Ajay among others.
Apr-May
These two months were spent in the cosmopolitan environment of London in an enviable investment bank. I really enjoyed the support that I received from the alumni and seniors on the desk. The hours were chill and work was interesting. I am glad that unlike many others, I was not just making ppts and pushing numbers without understanding them. I could take full ownership of my work and thoroughly enjoyed it. Except the high cost of living and the tax rate, London seemed like heaven.

Jumping Jalebis won the Confluence Award of Excellence
December
Yes, the last month came with lots of fun. It started with ERI course in the deserts of Zainabad. The course was a lot of fun with a sight seeing trip and few good sessions on aerobics, dance and breathing exercises. It seemed to be a 6-day picnic, away from the reach of laptops and internet, in the lap of mother nature.
To add to my pleasures, Vinit won a contest at IIM Indore and Piyush, Pranav and Ankit won the TATA Business Leadership Award during this period. Though I was not present at both the occasions, I was a part of both the teams....(I know, you are thinking how lucky this free-rider can get...)
We supplemented with a visit to South East Asia - Singapore and Kuala Lampur.
A trip with tempting destinations like Sentossa Islands, the night Safari, the Genting Highlands, the KL Minar, the Petronas and the Singapore Zoo was an ideal way to end a fun-filled year.

Jumping Jalebis - A Journey of Joy
Jumping Jalebis - The team
Gendy - The 6'2" tall sportstar bachcha, always filled with enthu and never say die attitude...
Vartika- The under 40 kg baby - a diligent worker, can be a source of inspiration to red ants for perseverance and hard work
Adrian- The "mature" sportsperson who speaks with elan and experience.
Thita - The pseud girl the swift talker, the confident practical manager
Tasha- The funny little girl, the one who keeps the energy and fun going together, under pressure.
Muli, Myself - the famous freerider :P
November 25, 2007 00:00 am Venue: D-325, WIMWI
Confluence NB gives the ratings of the team for awards of excellence, we are yet to open our account and the leading team "Absolutis" is way ahead with 64 points.
Gendy: Do not worry guys, we still have three events tomorrow and we still stand a chance.
Vartika: Ya, let us put our best effort, I am trying hard for our PPT
Muli : We got no chance, what do you think we are going to win all three events tomorrow....all in a day, you seem to be dreaming...it is even less probable than India winning this test match.
Someone: India can win this match if they restrict Pakistan early tomorrow..
November 25, 2007 01:30 am Venue: D-519, WIMWI
Adrian and Vartika have finished their parts for the R&D PPT. I had gone for the Deloitte event which we lost, my laptop started giving problems and disrupted their works.
Thita arrives with her pseud PPT for Opulence, I am just amazed by all the efforts put by her.
We criticize it, discuss and make the changes. It seemed good to me.
They asked me to find few facts and we left to catch some sleep.
November 25, 2007 09:30 am Venue: CR-7, WIMWI - Opulence
Thita gave a good confident presentation and She and Adrian tackled the questions tactfully. It seemed good and we heard all other teams as well.
Thita: what does your gut feel say/
Me: We should be in top three... (I too knew that it was not good enough to be in top three, to keep our hopes going, we must be at the top .... but the pessimist in me stopped me)
The judges commented on our slides, white font on yellow background...utterly bad choice...you simply cannot read it..our hopes start dwindling.
They ask for the second round with a change in situation, we put all our grey cells to work and came up with a flurry of initiatives...judges condemned it saying you should stick to your initial position and should try to scale it up rather than coming up with new proposals....our hopes are thrashed.
Vartika left for making modifications for the paper presentation contest. I get anxious and excused myself by saying I am going to help Vartika. Truly speaking, I was unable to stop myself there to keep waiting for the results.
November 25, 2007 12:30 pm Venue: 519, WIMWI
I come back to the room and listen to the good news -
November 25, 2007 4:30 pm Venue: D-438, WIMWI
I do a dry run of the PPT- adrian and vartika telling me to calm down and forget about the stakes. I am getting really anxious, the serenity of adrian's face and vartika's diligence inspire me to put in my best without caring about the rest.
November 25, 2007 4:45 pm Venue: CR-4, WIMWI - Transcending Barriers
We go for the presentation - Vartika begins in her soft voice, I talk about the brain drain, passionately only to find the slides have changed faster than my speech - Adrian realizes it and gives me time to talk calmly before he comes in.
He talks well like a veteran about his part, the time keeper says five minutes remaining...I think what, I again get anxious...there are 2 videos and around 8 slides yet to be shown.
I go in and again get anxious, suddenly I remember the advice of my partners to keep the cool and forget about the stakes....I get calmer and I finish my presentation.
The judge asks a question and Adrian gives an apt answer with examples from the company he has worked for - another glimpse of his maturity. I try to chip in somethign from what I knew, the judge still does not seem convinced.
The judges talk about they were looking for a focussed and actionable approach. We think we suggested quite a few options and hence did not have a great chance.
Again, this was a contest where we were not even shortlisted initially. It was where one of the teams moved out at last moment and we, being the waitlist # 1 got a chance to present.
I go to CR-2 and see that our team does not stand a chance of winning even at Global footprints. They ask me about the presentation, my pessimistic reply ...Dont know, they were looking for a more focussed approach. I come back to CR-4 for results.
The results
Vibhor Tikiya and team gets third prize - Hey, he himself has been a researcher and of late, has developed good presentation skills.
Vijayendra Haryal and team gets second prize - he is a really good speaker and I thought we might have lost.
One fachcha volunteer murmurs - I thought your team was good enough to be a second or third..but

We stood first in Opulence and have earned our first 30 points
Vartika is disappointed to know that I did not find the facts for my part last night...I ask her not to worry, I get motivated and first few searches give me the required material.
We move to D-3 for getting comments from team mates.
November 25, 2007 1:30 pm Venue: 325, WIMWI
We revamp the old PPT, full reorganization, adding the international experience from Singapore.
We make our submission and head on to the Global FootPrints game.

We start badly in the global footprints game, after an hour and half is passed...I have lost all the hope in this game and I ask thita and gendy that I am going to Adrian's room to practise for my presentation. Basically, all hopes are down once again as we seem to be lagging behind in this simulation game.

The Jumping Jalebis win and get another valuable 30 points
Now, everyone is anxious, we are definitely getting 3 points for participation in Global footprints but can we get one more to make a joint first with absolutis - the answer is no because, the two last guys get 3 points and 8th position gets 6 points...so we need to be in top 8.
We start asking teams...how did they do, everyone is secretive and we are eagerly waiting for results.
November 25, 2007 4:45 pm Venue: CR-2, WIMWI - Global Footprints
The results are getting announced and we are not in top seven. By some logic of the game which we misunderstood, we had lost badly. It really seemed like it all stopped at the end...but no, God was with us today and we were eighth, taking our tally to 66.....all in a day.
In the meanwhile, India had also gone to a winning position in the test match.
November 25, 2007 4:45 pm Venue: RJM Auditorium, WIMWI - Award Ceremony
The team Jumping Jalebis receives a standing ovation from the audience.
Thanks to the friends of WIMWI for supporting us all along....
We dedicate this journey to the spirit of optimism and enthusiasm which fuels us.

Failed yet again!!!!!!!!
I failed yet again...I am simply incorrigible.
I don't know how can I be so stupid, so absolutely crap?
Here is this driving test, cleared by thousands of common people everyday....very very easily and here comes the dumb boy with his fingers wavering like the steering has got an electric current flowing into it....
the job was to get a simple stupid driving license, done by everyone from a school going girl to a fifty year old man so easily, so painlessly....but here comes this chap thinking himself to be intelligent and all that....in truth, more frightened than anyone else around, his face has gone white, he is mumbling prayers but to no avail, he goofs up yet again......
I simply don't get it what can be done of this stupid creature.....I wish he could have been a little more relaxed, a bit more confident, a little less Phattu
Finally I request all the readers of the blog to pray to God that the guy gets some driving skills and succeed in getting a driving license some day.....

Diwali @IIMA
The Fabulous 3-D Rangoli from D-19
Amazing Lights at LKP
Diwali is one of those festivals, which is best celebrated at home. I never missed a diwali at home till second year at IIT, those were some days.
But, now given that I reside in the opposite corner of the country, I could not have gone home for the occasion. Still I could visualize the purchase of silver coins and utensils being made on Dhanteras day and all the decorations being done for the Diwali extravaganza.
After talking to my parents for hours and cribbing about missing yet another diwali at home, i decided I need to make up for it and have the best of fun at Ahmedabad as it is going to be my last "diwali" at campus.
The day started with me waking up at 12:45pm with Pinki's phone call....thanks to him, I could reach in time for the lunch at Handa Sir's house.
The lunch was simply delicious with puri, chhole, chat, dahi wada and not to forget the delicious ice cream. We returned and the "Kumbhkaran" in me returned and I decided to allow myself a short nap of a little more than 2.5 hours.....it is just 5:30 in the evening.
I met the cultcomm team at 6 who were busy preparing the LKP for diwali celebrations....I could not have let go this opportunity of participating in Diya decorations....if not home, let WIMWI be the place...
Later at 8, we the full dorm went for a dinner in tower lawns with Netaji leading the way....we followed it with a small tour of the rangolis in various dorms...
I am simply amazed how do these guys manage to do it in so little time amidst the busy life of WIMWI....D-19 3-D figure of Ganesha was awesome, even better than many rangolis I had seen at KGP...the ones made after efforts of several weeks.
Finally, I ended the night with several diwali wish phone calls to friends, family and relatives.
Overall, a nice cherishable day....I truly enjoyed it.

Teachings outside the classroom
Life is a great teacher whom we never pay heed to. Every step that you take, every word that you utter is just like another learning. And, smart are those who recognize this fact and learn from all those lessons. And, then there are those fools who never learn - the ones who just keep on repeating one mistake after another , getting one setback after another.
Life gives you signals, there is one in everything you do. But, it takes a vigilant mind to take all those cues and to incorporate them in your next action. And, for the unobservant, doom can be the only outcome.
I am one of those blockheads who have chosen to ignore these signals. I was lucky at few occasions but luck is a game of probability. And, hence you cannot rely on luck all the time. So, there are times when you are not so lucky and it is then that life teaches you those tough lessons. You do not have an alternative to escape these setbacks - they have been decided by "factors beyond control" for you. The only thing in your control is to learn from these setbacks and not to repeat the same mistakes. If you do this, you successfully tilt the luck probability factor in your favor. This learning is the sole journey of life.
Lastly, I would thank you all for reading this article. I would also request you to share your views in comments. I also sincerely hope that I start this "learning2

The Vagabond
It was a sunday morning
It all seemed dizzy
Last night was fabulous
Today world is nebulous
Lips are all tied up
Smiles seem dried up
The eyes are asking
where am I heading?
Have I lost the sight
Have I given up the fight
Am I still sober?
It seems to be over
Everything seems to be dead
For the breathing blockhead
So, it all went in vain
None understood my deep pain
It all seemed dizzy
Last night was fabulous
Today world is nebulous
Lips are all tied up
Smiles seem dried up
The eyes are asking
where am I heading?
Have I lost the sight
Have I given up the fight
Am I still sober?
It seems to be over
Everything seems to be dead
For the breathing blockhead
So, it all went in vain
None understood my deep pain

चलता राही
चलता राही
मेरी जिन्दगी सिर्फ एक सफ़र है
और चला जा रह हूँ
पता नही किस की तलाश मॆं
कुछ खो गया था, उसे पाने की आस मॆं
बारिश का मौसम था,
बहारें खिल रही थी
मेरी जिन्दगी के पतझ्ड मॆं
कलियाँ भी मर राही थी
कुछ पाने की आस मॆं
ना बुझने वाली प्यास मॆं
और चला जा रह हूँ
पता नही किस तलाश मॆं
तुफानो से लड़ता हुआ
आँधियों से झगड्ता हुआ
और चला जा रह हूँ
ना जाने किस आस मॆं
मिलेगी कभी उम्मीद की किरण
ऐसा कहता है मेरा मन
और चला जा रह हूँ
एक मुकम्मल राह मॆं
