Sleep & Me

have u ever felt sleepy in a class?? has their been any time when all u wanted was the lecture to get over so that u can get into ur warm cozy bed???

it happens with me all the time... in class time moves so slowly that i sometimes take off my watch and shake it just to make sure whether the watch is working or not!!!!

ppl in class ask me wat's wrong if i dont sleep in a lecture... they force me to sit in the center and sleep!!!!!! wat's wrong with the world???? ppl u shud kick me when i sleep not encourage me.

i can see our enterprising professor comin to our desj so i think i'd better close the window lest he close it himself and screw me for the same!!!

"Vasudhaiv Kutumbkum"


Hey friends... to my pleasure, I would like to present a person whose name needs no introduction, Master of Punchlines, guru of academically poor junta..Mr Vivek Baraskar..into the Blogging arena.

Here goes the GYAN...(unabridged)

I find it amusing, hope others too feel the same, but I don’t know what is happening within this man – Atul ‘Walmart’ Gupta. I had heard that relations are made in heaven and executed on Earth. I would add-they happen at specified time only, and there is no time which can be said good or bad.
So lets get back to hero a.k.a. "brother" of this story – A. Walmart. G (“Universal Brother” if you are not comfortable with this version, you can use the ‘desi’ version “Jagat Bhaiya”). Our Jagat Bhaiya went for dinner and he had sumptuous meal. Near end of his meal he sees someone who he feels is “potential target”. So he uses some of the tactics of his close friend, “Coco – Section B”. But very soon, poor fellow finds that the tactics is not working (the way he wanted) rather it produced more negative response. The “target” sees her “target brother” in our Jagat Bhaiya. And after that what follows is something which is quite banal. Our Jagat Bhaiya finds one more sister (most probably lost in Kumbh ka mela) and this whole thing happening in just 30 seconds – Oopps even better than our Bollywood movies. It is ought to be becoz this happened in our campus – sorry “Hi-tech campus”. Jagat Bhaiya is known to all and the name of sister is no more relevant as now Jaggu Bhaiya has stopped counting numbers. His new mantra is “Jo Bhai mane uska bhi bhala na mane uska bhi bhala”.

A Toast to a New Term, A New Beginning



I see the end of this long, dark tunnel; i see another long n dark tunnel ahead of me....
that is a classic saying (dunno who said that, probably ME!!!)
term 1 has nearly come to an end, 2 more papers to go. We have our Financial Mgmt paper in 5 hrs n here i am writin a blog instead of making formula sheets for the exam. surprising how the most enjoyable subjects seem to become seemingly mundane and boring at crucial moments!!!!
these term end papers were a big eye opener(i mean that literally, I am now going to stay awake and attentive in lectures!!!)

getting thru these papers(hopefully) would not have been possible without the help of our Kotler guru a.k.a Captain a.ka. Mr. Vivek Gupta and Teddy a.k.a Venkat. without those late night & early morning discussion with Teddy and those coaching in Quant's by Captain i would be shelling out atleast Sing $100 for re-
tests. thnk u, thnk u!!!!!

as i prepare to hit the sack, i look at the time and it seems to move faster as it approaches the deadly hour of the Face-off!!!!

EXAMANIA....capturing first milestone...

uffff.....finally we got rid of Financial accounting and I had the most felicitious day for I kept myself busy for complete 2 hours during exams. Last night I was tutored by Mr vivek gupta for only 3.5 hrs...course finished. Result: I will not score ZERO :-)

The feeling of bringing the Baton is so intense that I am forced to write this blog which is also helping me kill my time. Previous blog by Devashish depicts a crystal clear picture of the way people slog here but i prefer walking on my own road . I am 'the" person who has time to do evrything except capturing pics of the GRANTHs, supplied to us by SPJ, and storing it in my defective SD card on top of my body. Thus I live life to its fullest unlike those who sleep for 3-4 hours and are always tense. They should realise that by studying day-in n night-out, they wont score 100.000001 leave alone 101, but not evryone is born intelligent.

I pray n hope that this happiness of mine lasts till the SPJCM 06-07 batch achieves 100% placement. With this easy going attitude, I feel sceptical of gaining ground in Interviews. But even if the interviewer does not recognises my talent, you must be knowing that most of the enthopreneurs are school dropouts or illiterates...wht matters is "acumen" n I have loads of that.

Right now, there are classes going on all around..in Learning Centres, leadership hall, rooms........"butterflies" have started hovering around those with whom they have never interacted before... View in leadership hall is like NASA, where scientists are defining final startegy to bring Mars on earth rather going to Mars n incurring extra costs. Only exception who does not fit the tag of Scientist is Nigel n Teddy (venkat)...but they have somehow got permission from the Project Officer (Salil) to attend the meet.

Before I get tired n coil inside the sack, I have to revise stats for the fourth time so that I can PHODO the paper tomorrow.

ADIOS

FEEL PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN...
(today 140 Indians @ 10,hyderbad road,saluted the Tricolour with pride)
Undoubtedly, this day will be registered in the minds of all CRUSADERS.
