Elections 2009 Analysis

2009-05-18T13:25:00.000-07:00

Unbelievable that it is, but for the first time in many years, we are finally going to have a stable government. A stable government is not the one which stays in power for 5 years as designed in our constitution, but one which has the power to take decisions. Our system which led to the development of coalition governments had crippled these powers be it for Congress or for BJP. But times have changed certainly. Though Congress or UPA hasn’t done enough to get that elusive majority mark imminent for hassle free governance, but has done enough to stay in power for the next five years without many problems and with that elusive power of decision making in hand. How they utilize it is a different matter altogether.

I have been a staunch supporter of BJP over the years simply because I believe they deserve a fair run to be at the top to prove their mettle. Their belief in issues such as uniform civil code and abolition of article 370 has always impressed me with their ideologies. They got in power once but without the real power to do much. I had a feel that this time they may get the support of the masses, but that didn’t happen.

Let’s though not forget that we had great elections. I am happy with the kind of results that came across.

I have always believed in a two party system which in a vastly variant country like India is next to impossible. And to add to it there is simply no limit. Anybody and everybody can form a party with some serious money in hand and backing of a high profile figure.

But this election showed that we as voters have matured. The only way to achieve that almost two party system is via how the people of India vote. The results show the times will be just better.

Third Front led by the Left, who believe there is nothing like progress, has been sidelined completely and their dreams of getting into power shattered. They lost heavily in West Bengal, a state they have ruled and destroyed for years and surely will be wiped out in the near future.

Lalu Prasad Yadav of the RJD, who changed his stance from enemy to friend to the Congress in the simple matter of few hours, lost royally in Bihar. I am sure Congress will be prudent enough to find a better candidate for the railway minister portfolio.

Same was the case with BSP and SP who have been sidelined in UP and are hiding their faces blaming there loss to anyone but themselves.

The loss of various candidates having a criminal background is the most heartening aspect of the whole process.

Another great result was the power taken from NCP supremo Sharad Pawar who hopes to be the PM of the country. If his dreams ever got true, India will be the only country, where an agriculture minister can head a renowned sports body as well become the PM of the country.

Great this didn’t happen!!!

All in all, the regional parties that have mushroomed and spread like virus with their divide and rule politics got a lesson. Either perform or perish. I am sure these parties will never change but the voters definitely will and in the next elections, their share would be miniscule at best leading to a proxy two party system. As they say by hook or by crook.

As far as BJP is concerned, they only have themselves to blame for their defeat. There was nothing different in what they projected to the countrymen than most other parties in their election campaign. If they believe that they want to come to power they have to shed the accusatory politics that has become a fashion in our system and look towards becoming a development oriented and progressive opposition. If in the next five years they can support Congress for the progress of our nation, I am sure they would have done enough to garner the love, respect and support of the millions of voters across the nation.

And for Congress, they won because their main opposition lost. They won because they have the ideal person for PM, Mr. Manmohan Singh who is not only highly qualified, but as clean as a whistle. I am sure they won because of a politically young Rahul Gandhi, who has been able to associate with millions of voters with his youngistan image. At the age of 40, he is politically still at infancy and if doesn’t gets mixed up in the politics of politics, I am sure will do wonders for the countrymen.

Let truth prevail!!!

Challenged , Provoked and ....

2008-08-25T14:27:00.000-07:00

Its 2 :36 in the morning and I have my FMH examination today at 6 pm . have barely skimmed thru 30 percent of the course but find too boring to continue and finish the remaining 70 percent.Chuck it .Its better to do something which gives me much more satisfaction than the half hearted attempt to study a pretty boring subject which is supposed to be my bread and butter :P .Therefore I write .

Had gone to the adventure camp this weekend.It was a gr8 trip filled with amazing fun and loads of unforgettable experiences.But this particular incident needs immortality , therefore I have decided to pen it down.

It was the onset of caving(Supposedly an adventure sport where u try to carve space for u from small spaces in between rocks , sometimes dividing ur body into parts and trying to get your parts one by one out of the hole till synergy is established :P ) .But bf4 that we were supposed to climb a rock that lead to the caving area totally on our own .Although a rope was tied around us for safety reasons .The right side of the rock had relatively deeper hand holes and foot holes to help climb rather easily (a very subjective opinion though:)).Left side was tougher with barely visible holes tough to grab let alone deep.Anyways everybody was climbing via the right portion(as if their was any option).The instructor from the previous group had allowed few daring souls to climb the rock via the right portion without the rope and they did that easily . In the process though they inspired me to do the same.I had lead the rock climbing session bf4 this , so had enough confidence in me to do the same .
Nyways my instructor strictly denied me to climb without a rope.Once ,twice ,thrice I asked ,but he denied and ended my trial even bf4 the onset

But this guy had other plans idea.

"So u think u can climb the rock without a rope.Let me see what can u do now.The rope
remains but u'll climb from the left side.Let's see how u fare " .

Hmmm .Now wat .This man is crazy .Its pretty tuff for a novice like me and to add to it i had slightly longer nails due to which it was tuff to get a grip.
I tried once ,twice thrice failed.Started climbing from the easier right ."Stop ,u were speaking a lot , u hv no option cm from left or stay there" ."I cant sir its tough almost impsosible".
"Leave it sir let him climb '-said my colleague .
"No-now as u have said u have to do it , You were blabbering a lot.Common "
were his words when he started laughing and making fun wid a colleague of his.That was tht , I couldn't take more.I somehow made a grip and tried hard to get some momentum.My friends started cheering me up and that was the tonic required .I tried hard ,harder , and finally my perseverance paid off.I gathered sm momentum and used that momentum to almost ran away to the top.Yessssss.I had done it .

I gave a angry glare to the the instructor ,threw the rope ,took off my helmet disregarding any respect for safety and looked above.My friends were cheering.This was the moments.Moments u cherish and I was luving it.

I again looked at the instructor who suddenly uttered "I knew u'll do it".He had a sense of pride. I smiled and said thx.Even I had a sense of pride.Thx sir.Thx friends.I am waiting for much more such moments .

Well he challenged , he provoked , and I WON.

That thing called Luc !!!

2008-07-28T14:49:00.000-07:00

I planned to write a bit abt my "pre Campus XL xperience " around 2 months back ; finally i m doing tht .I started by giving CAT '07 which ,as usual did enuf to get another 94 %.Thn came IIFT which as usual I did well.IIFT have a habit of calling me on an annual basis and then outrightly rejecting my candidature.Its like mocking me "Fir aa gaya tu macha " .
On 7 January '08 one of friends turned up out of the blues and 1 am in the morning we were in a bar ,happily njying ourselves ,wen I realised I hv XAT next morning.
After the disaster of CAT and other exams ,I wasn't really concerned ,still went off n slept by 3 am.

Came out of the xamination centre nxt morning having an air of feel good abt me ,I actually "thought" I did well.My feel gud feeling was suddenly turned into a feeling of "wat cud hv been" wen I realised tht not only did I carelessly marked 1 wrong answer ,but I missed 3 easiest Ques of DI becoz two pages in my paper were "actually" pasted together !! (4 ques in quant make whole lot of diff ) Bad luc .Yeah quant was a disaster.
Cm bk n was dreaming in my room of wat cud hv been wen suddenly got a call from my galfrnd who had a minor accident.In a blink of the eyes i was at Hyd ,totally forgetting abt nything related to "XLRI".

Unbelievable as it was ,XAT results came within 10 days of the paper.My galfriend wanted to see my results but I disagreed.I chkd out my percentiles first only to realize that after getting sufficient in Eng and DI ,i cud manage only 83+ in Quant.Hmmm ...XL dream over .Still I thot let Xl confirm it...I was tlking to my galfriend and simultaneously we were chking My result on internet (technology as they say ) to see if by any luc i got a call .

I entered my XAT id to chk if I had a BM call , sigh !!"No call" I said wen I heard a jubilient voice on the other side "Yippie ,u got thru ". What????Yeah tht moment defined it all ,my girl brought me luc :).I got a call from PMIR from one of the premier institute of India.I just scraped thru Quant but in ny case I had an XLRI call.

Wasnt able to prepare much for my interview coz my workload suddenly increased as and when my interview came nearer.Nyways On the D - Day I had a "weird" interview(described earlier in one post ) n i cudnt really make nything out of it.
Results came soon as usual ,my galfriend chkd as usual and yeah I got thru (pretty unusual)....or did I ???

"You have been Waitlisted 24 " it said ,hmmmm ...."so close yet so far".

April 25 ,first WL announced ,13 cleared ...

May 13 ,Wl 23 cleared , unbelievable but it was true tht I was left stranded at WL 1 .
Everybody was now sure of me getting thru .In nycase Wl 1 gv a lot of optimism.I told my manager about my resignation ,started preparing and calling Xl everyday in hope of getting thru.

As days started passing by my hopes also started vanishing ,man WL 1 ??? How can this happen to me .Finally on the auspicious occasion of my Bday i.e. 30 th May ," I am sorry to say the waitlist movement has been freezed,better luc nxt time" ,came the dreaded news . Better luc ??Yeah I needed tht ,hw can possibly my luc devoid me to such an extent.It was like destined that I 'll get tht news on my bdy .Drank tht nite not becoz i was disappointed or sad ,but man it was my bday ,I had to celebrate :).

I was too freaked out with my luc so decided to tk a brk and went for trekking n den to Shimla.
On 10 th of June , i reached back and was getting ready to rejoin office wen a number flashed on my cell "XLRI calling ".

Wht now ??

"Anupam ,U hv got thru XL ,plz join day after tmrw".
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I was left blank ,no reaction .I just smiled and asked her for a few more days to prepare.After all i had to complete the tough task of my resignation :).

Didnt actually got time to "bask in the glory" of my "success".It was one roller coaster ride , had to do everything -resignation ,shopping,fees , reservations and wat not.Nyways smhw finally reached XLRI 0n 20th of June .
10 th of June onwards and I lost track of time .Ithas been like flying at a breathtaking speed.I didnt get time to actually rejoice ,to sit and think "yes I made it to XLRI".I reached here at 7 in the morning and at 8 I was i was attending my first class.Yeah it has been a roller coaster since thn ,n I m luvin it.

"The last guy in " ,they say I got lucky ; did I ??I dnt knw ...I didn't got time to think !!!

Sm day though I wud sit bk ,think and find out wats its all abt yeah ,luc ,"tht thing called luc ".

Terrorism

2008-07-27T00:55:00.000-07:00

I am surprised, sad and dissapointed at what is happening in our country .

Blasts at Hyderabad, then at Jaipur, yesterday at Bangalore and if that was not enuff, today again at Ahmedabad.Which part of

India

is next, or for that matter which part of our great country is safe??? Can I wake up tmrw with a feeling that yah their would be possibly no bomb blast where I am residing presently???

Caught this piece from rediff:

"Minutes before the Ahmedabad serial blasts, an email was sent to the Gujarat police which is now in the possession of the Intelligence Bureau. It read: Stop us if you can."

This is nothing but public display of boldness "yeah we'll blast ur country, we know u'll do nothing u cowards ".

Where is the government?? I thought we were living in a democracy!!

What is Congress doing? Fighting over petty issues, is it??

Its well and truly known that most of the blasts have been done by islamic terrorist organisations than why no action?
Just two words of consolement , little aid and life moves on !!Is this the way a country of 1 billion citizen is supposed to run?Are we all fools ?

Why the policy of appeasement being followed for the last 60 odd years;
just to get some petty votes?

My friend terrorism has no religion; terrorists are just a bunch of egomaniacal dumbheads trying to destroy our country just because they are getting foolish support from our politicians (read congress, SP, Left) because of their policy of appeasement.

I feel we don't need a judicial system for this terrorists; catch them and kill them.

Nothing much to say, I am very unhappy with the state of affairs and this is too important even if written in d XL blog!!!

Chetan Bhagat-"Three mistakes of my life"

2008-05-23T17:48:00.000-07:00

It seems like months since i wrote something here ; in my very own blog ;though I am no Ayn Rand , or for that matter even Sidney Sheldon -But yeah , once u start something , u mst hold on to tht , and thats my motto for the day (I will keep track for how many days I keep up wid my latest motto).

Nyways lets move on to my first book review , which I will keep SSS - short , sweet and simple !!
How much my intellectuals friends criticise Chetan Bhagat for his unoriginal and masala sort of writing ; the fact is that "Five Point Someone" (howevr piece of crap it luks to most people who give their verdict after reading it non stop till the end ) has brought many lazy souls to switch from other mundane activities to reading ,although these lazy souls switch back to there mundane activities as soon as the novel finishes.They get their act together only when another day to day novel arrives in the market (aka One night at a call centre) than back to usual.I don't exactly belong to this category, though I wud agree that seeing a Chetan Bhagat novel on stands makes me restless until and unless I can lay my hands on it and read it to the end.
The point here is the rage that was created by Five Point Someone and to some extent One night at a call center has been amazing.Here comes a writer who picks up characters u can identify urself wid ; takes a nice background(aka IIT,Call center) , cooks up a nice story , adds lots of masala , spices it with some kiss scenes , some gyaan and keeps its price low. And eureka ! Thats the winning formula!!
But ,what happens when u start running out of ideas ?
U make the biggest mistake of ur life in the form of "3 mistakes of my life".
The story of this novel is on similar lines to that of his first two novels .

Here the backdrop is Gujarat (covers period from 2001 to 2002 when Gujarat was shakened up by an earthquake in 2000 , and Godhra and communal violence in 2002).Add to it 3 friends (not again)on similar lines to the previous novels characters , spiced up with all the physical and chemical properties as mentioned bf4.And the best part is to make emotional fool of cricket crazy janta by making the look and feel of the cover as if it belongs to "cricket".Phew !!!

Ladies and gentleman ,in his latest attempt this novel fails to strike even a single chord wid the readers and seems it was written just for the sake of writing.Two out of the 3 mistakes mentioned made my head spin as to why they were referrred as "biggest mistakes ".Their is also an aboriginal and genuine 40 pages fight scene at the end which made me proud of our south indian movies (I can assure u that better sense still prevails their-yana rascala ).
Political parties have been bashed liberally thoughout and travel to a foreign country was nvr easy bf4.
With all the bashing done here are some lines spoken by an Aussie character worth reading -"Mate in ur country (India) when people meer they ask u - do u own a house ?Which car do u hv ?how much money do u have ??But when people meet in our country they ask u wat all sports do u play mate ??

Thats clears it all !!!!

Nyways i must state here that watevr I hv written is copyrighted by me and must be taken as my personel opinion.Also I , hereby publicaly admit that i hv a poor vocabulary which severely hampers my writing skills .... :(

Cheers !!!!

XL PI

2008-03-28T10:52:00.000-07:00

Festivals of India

2007-11-20T01:54:00.000-08:00

India is a land of varying cultures and traditions . Festivals constitute an intregal part in the life of a common man here.Their are numerous festivals that are celebrated in India measuring the length and depth of our nation . We can see people celebrating Holi - the festival of colors in north, East we go and see people celebrating Durga puja , moving onto west we find Ganesh chaturthi and as we head towards south we find that Onam and Pongal are the flavors there.But our country lacked a festival which could be celebrated by any person beyond the domains of religion and culture , age and sex . A festival which would not belong to a genre of people but could be adapted by anyone who is willing to do the same.Taking this into account , some intellectuals joined hands and created a festival meant for all genre of people , predominantly the youth.The festival proved to be an immediate success immediately after its arrival and became a success in every middle class household. " Fact " wise (statistically), more than 3 lakh persons across our nation are directly involved with the celebrations each year . This festival has survived the test of time and has become one of the widely enjoyed and most celebrated & is better known by the name of "CAT"
"Cat" occurs on the 3rd Sunday of November each year .Found a lot of years ealier, it has been embraced readily by the youth of our nation and has been growing by leaps and bounds each year.Normally it falls b/w 18th to 20th November each year depending upon the position of the moon . The immense success that it has received is the primary reason for it being elevated to the status of the "National hobby", a great honor indeed.
As with any festival , the preparation of Cat starts well bf4 8 -10 months before the D -Day.
Coaching centres ,test series ,study materials , web sites ,all contribute immensely in the preparation . But basically the festival belongs to the people who are directly involved on the D - day. These people are known as participants.The participants , who range from 20 -60/70(ideally) years of age , are the one directly involved in the celebrations on the Cat day. They are also the one , who , if successful , get the maximum perks.It requires a lot of hard work and mental acumen to contribute one's best to the cause of the festival , but most importantly it requires a gr8 temparement on the D -day to celebrate it best and reap the sweet rewards.As an wen the the festival gets over , sm particpants get satisfied , sm demoralised , some optimistic & some some start preparing for the next year again. But apart from the success and the failure, this whole process earmarks an important lesson .Even the best of preparation cannot always yield a successful outcome.One must therefore realise that Cat can never be the end of life and like any other festival , it is too meant to be enjoyed watevr the end result is . You never need a festival to celebrate , u just need a day to start your celebrations. And from that day , all days will become a festival.

Heart break

This is true story n it actually happened to me..............

It all started almost 2 years back.........unbeleivable it was but i fell for her at once ...it seemed to me as u know "love at first sight"......I cud not beleive it....I was confused ....was it luv.......or mere infatuation........was i flirting with her............or in deep luv wid her...watevr it was ........i knew at once ....i was now attached to her firmly..........she was wonderful....she was charming(very cute)....n brilliant too...........it was as if we were made for each other.......it had never happened in my life bf4 .......i had seen others feeling this but had laughed on them ....but i now i understood.......as i was experiencing it...myself.........Suddenly my whole world changed.........i started spending lots n lots of time wid her...........i was happy n cheerful wid her around me....we conversed .........n talked in a unique way of our own....she accepted me whole heartidly...she wanted to knw everything about me........... wat i liked n wat not................evrythin surrounding me...ppl dear to me...... near to me....i missed her wen she was not around...cud'nt concentrate on anything apart from her .........it was as if my life was owed to her........i knew it ...i knew the answer....I was in luv...............

But things started to change...everything froze n came to a stand still.................though she remained the same as bf4......beautiful...charming....brilliant....n of crse loved me more n more ...it was eternal on her part...but not on mine i wanted to part wid her...to go away from her.......my luv , attraction..everything was fading rapidly now...........yet it seemed impossible ..........i had a deep attachment n found it unable to brk frm her.!!!..........i was confused ...............it was not the same anymore................i was unable to find out wat to do i stop giving time to her.....she was sad but still kept luving me more n more....but i disregarded that ....i wanted to be away from her ...not think abt her.......finish it completely ..the feelings...the attraction...the .........luv!......................

i had to take a decision ...it was tough but their didn't seem to be any option...finally after lot of inner conflicts ..............i decided i had to go away from her!!...i know she wud be hurt ...but alas ...life moves on..........though i didnt had the guts ..to tell her why i was doing it...............so i had just one option ....to dump her...........alas i thought time heals everything...n time will heal evrything...!!!..............may be we come bk together again ..may be....but for now i had to let her go....

With steely determination.................n firm resolve ......my mind racing...........my heart aching...everything flashed in my memories ...those beautiful days..................somewhere bryan adams was humming..."those were the best days of my life ".....Yes this was the moment....i closed my eyes ...tightened my fingers....i was sweating profusely......and ...............finally.....finally..................hit it.........................n she got terrified ...she tried to stay one last time... ..desperate to remain in my life...stopped me.............but alas ...... i had decided it was over...I hit it again..........n she was gone....forever.................

Will i evr get bk in her life again........i dont know...but if it happened ...things will not be the same again....................never.....

In loving memory of orkut ......the one i loved.................................remember ya always....................

(ps- "hit it" here the 'it ' means the 'Enter' button of the keyboard

"she tried to stay one last time" means ur asked "r u sure u wanna delete ur profile")

IIT Mania

2007-05-29T22:27:00.000-07:00

He was there ....although in confinement but one that he njyed n wanted to be there forever....He cud see this world wid his closed eyes ..............A world full of land...., information ..ppl.....everything.........He cud feel the greatness of india coz he was here only ......some where in this sparsely populated urban area.... his sixth sense was helping him out............ yah there it was ..in a posh locality......this hospital..named...aarrrggghhh...wats in the name...........He could smell the various flavours of medicines ,equipments ....... the whole aura of room no 233 in this hospital.......In a minutes time he cud actually see everything...but alas .....He wanted to be there forever...................njying free spa n warmth in the confinement wid all the comfort he cud get anywhere.....

Yes he wanted to remain in his mother's womb ...always ......forever.............coz for almost 9 months he had been hearing this.......from his parents ...relatives ....all sane n insane ppl around........he cud feel the pressure .....n was not upto it............

IIT IIT IIT IIT ......................

my son will gt thru an IIT..for sure...

He'll make us proud......

he'll earn in dollars.....

He will make our dream come true.....

man........i dont want to get born........I m fine dad mom...plz ....i dont want IIT.............plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........I dont want to be a maniac.................Let me live..........

India is a gr8 country.........wid one billion of population...

n a lot of students (lot means lot)........so r these student divided by gud average n bad.........is it??

just a minute ...their is a standard to determine how gud they r.......
and one such standard is ..............getting thru an IIT...

So what is an IIT...

IIT's are the premier educational institutions of India imparting technical and management education toa mere 4000 students from the country each yr........ mind it they are gud...........but hv only 4000 seats for which 5 lakhs student fite ....that makes it 143 per seat...man ...isnt it tough.............n this no .is increasin day by day...

Actually these r instituitions which make life hell for ppls rite wen they r born (not their fault)...making them a part of the gruelling process of getting thru them..whereby slogging for hrs n hrs..n making them maniacs...a process fuelled by parents, relatives n society... who feel proud to be an iitians parent ...rathers than a son's or daughters parent.....(hey their...i m not against IIt...i m against the system...)

So if ur r an IITian ppl will luk upon u "oh wat a man".......n tell thier children ..."life mein kuch kar ke dikhao IIT mein jao..."..Man .. .....is doing something in life is equivalent to getting thru an IIT...........

So did anybody asked me if i was a rebel n didn't tried for it...........Well i m the same person born in an average family.......wid just one ambition embibed in me from my childhood ...to get thru an IIT ......

My quest wid IIT started from class 11th .................when i was involved in a lot of tuitions...(thus helping this business to fuel a others do)
wake up in the morning at 5:30 ..get ready and go 15 kms away to attend chemistry's tuition.....cm bk 10 kms to school....then cm bk in the afternoon...hv ur lunch for a min or 2 ......went 12 kms for maths then 10 kms for physics n finally 5 kms bk to my home......exhausted fully exhausted..........."damn............i m sleeping....."

Some where i wanted to be free out of this IIT stuff........but alas.....i cud see the perks that wud get thru being an IITian..

-Lifelong tag wid u of being an IITian..

-Parents forever proud for u being an IITian(whether u do smthin after that or not :)

-relatives ,teachers .....all like u very much suddenly...

-marriage proposals.......(these gals u knw run after IITians ...khud kuch bhi ho...par bf must be an IITian...)

-" accha u r an iitan..wow.." common reaction....
(can somebody tell me if IITians luk diff from others...)

ps- exceptions r always their.....

-Right to brag everywhere that i m from IIt ( as if other ppl r not human beings....)

-specific mention in Matrimonials..(IIT se btech earning in 7 digits )

-feeling gud wen top national dailies write that IITians are changing our country (as if 1 billion population -is useless)...

so these issues made me to fite for iit...eventually i cleared my screening n faltered in mains...although i got 126 rank in aieee but alas tht was not an achievement coz i was not thru IIT......(society norms).......

suddenly ppl's attitude changed...This guy is average.......he cudnt get thru IIT.......ppl became apprehensive of ur potential...........n start lukin towards u as if u r from diff planet.......

aaahhhhhhhh

This IIT bug cm bk to haunt me again ..............

I got thru IIT kgp for mba this yr................without any sort of hard work ...............(my current interest is in band ...guitar....music.......)

n then this bandwagon of ppl started again .. Ironically this time m not interested in joining it........Why ..leave it for sm other time..........but ppl........."beta ek baar fir soch lo ... aaise mauke baar baar nahi milte"-parents

"anu....plz chale jao plz plz plz plz "- sonu

"think abt it man "-friends...

"tujhe aana padega ...nahi to I hate u"- liz......

"aahhhh plz leave me i dont wanna go "..-....me ...

yah liz hates me coz i m not joining it.....unbeleivable but my joining an IIt will decide if she hates me or not :):):):)(kidding)

Liz here needs a spcl mention ....she also got thru IIT kgp and has actually restored the sanity to join it unlike me...... asks me why i m not joining...why ???

may b i m over wid this IIT thing or may b higher ambitions..but truth of the matter is ....I dont feel like................yah

I just wanted to gt thru once to tell ppl hey IIT is'nt everything.......dont make it a standard...IIT is not the end of the world... n if u do so...I still fulfill the standard............

Personally to my dear friends who were apprehensive.......wen i said i'll not go even if get thru..n retorted bk saying that first get thru .....n then brag....well thnks.....u for giving me an imp lesson........

n yah i fulfilled my words.....:):):):)

so ppl follow ur dreams........

finally as it is said...i 'll end this wid the following words of wisdom:

"Proud to be an IITian"

cheers....

Heights of embarassment

2007-04-16T06:25:00.001-07:00

as 15th April ,2007,Sunday (a holiday)।Sunday.........a day to revive ones spirits, reignite ur passion for work and get ready for next 5 day's war that u have to undergo in ur respective software companies(may be by doing hell lot of a work or may be doing nothing of benefit to the company apart from utilising the resources of ur company to do all the mundane tasks u can possibly do).
I actually belong to the latter category.
But to do nothing profitable for the company day after day,week after week etc etc etc (the list goes on n on n on) ...u need skill.
Skill requires heavy knowledge which in turn requires passion to acquire that knowledge...but having passion is not enough too......u need a large amount of free time too...N thats wat makes a person devoid of any work skilful(if u can understand me).

Coming back to the the main topic in hand , 15 April ,Sunday just another day .....for a lot of ppl for refuelling their energies..........eehhhhbut not for the gr8 myself....coz as it turned out later ...this sunday was gonna be one of my most embaraasing and comical sunday.

The day started as usual at around 11 am early in the morning ...did my brkfast by 2 o' clock ,that too on usual time(discipline is the key) therein grabbed a magazine and started scribbling thru its pages ( gosh it was about software companies too and most importantly mine was listed nowhere ).

"These magas dont know anything about IT ...how can they leave my company " I said to myself when suddenly the melodious tune of my nokia n series N -70 music edition mobile phone started playing on the tune of airtel.Before i delved too much into the melody I picked up the call.
"Hi buddy this is abhinav ..coming to ur place nwaiting n ear sec 12-22 chowk(a famous milestone of my current abode Noida..) .
Ahh thedevil arrives.
I went to accompany him bk to my home n it took 20 min rather than the usual 3 min.The reason f this lateness was that gr8 frend of mine was actually1 km away from 12-22 chowk where I waited for him in scorching heat n he was standing under the cool breeze n shade of some tree exactly 1 km away, giving me instructions of his whereabout on my n series cell(Even the calls were made by me ... costly airtel).

AAAArrrrrgggggggghhhhh

"saala pagla gaya hai" i murmured to myself till finally i caught him.Anyways back home i felt like taking a bath ( which i hadnt till that time) but delayed this auspicious task late till evening.

"Yaar beer pini hai" were the holy words that started my journey of embarassment and comedy that evening.
Although i have half quitted my drinking habit almost,but the temptation still attracts me smtimes..afterall m a human being...
So it was decided that we'll get a bottle (or two) of beer from d market n then drink in the comfort of my home.I took a bath (finally) ,wore a green t-shirt and abrown cargo and somehow decided to wear my black slippers rather than wearing my 2500 bugs woodland shoes.The slippers were quite gud luking but still........they were slippers.

I said "somehow" coz i always wear shoes wen outside but u know ...this was gonna be a different day.Our journey started immediately but our plan changed midway n we decided to visit a bar .
"CHICANE " was the name of this बार(nice name) in Spice world mall which i had never tried bf4।So i told myself yeah today is the day n of we went towards Chicane..

Expecting a warm reception from the guard standing their i moved confidently towards the entrance wen suddenly tragedy struck ............
"U are not allowed to go inside the bar" said the guard eyes into eyes
" Wattt"..........................
wat..........................
My mind started racing do we look too young to drink nah.........
do we luk too poor nah....
So where's the problem..

"Sir we dont allow people wid slippers inside our bar".
That that "sir" gave me a respoectful feeling was taken away by the fact that i was wearing slippers.Damn the day i bought them.
My wonderful friend was laughing at me "he he he tu chappal pehen ke aaya heheeh" damn him too...
I thought 51 ways to get out of the situation इन an embarassing position ...but none seem to fit..
So i decided togive a fight...

HUH main haar nahi manuga.
"I have got a lot of bugs dear ..let me in"
"Nah"
"i have shoes in my home"
"nah"
"call ur manager"
"nah....i mean yah "
I was feeling like a human activist fighting for my fundamental rites tasting zero success.The show must go on.
"yes sir how may i help u"-said the manager
"i wanna jst enter ur bar"
"yes sir u may surely...no sir u may not u r wearing slippers.."
wah bete... ek pal mein sabkuch dekar doosre pal mein cheen liya
"but these slippers are ....nice... n ....gud... n black "
"no sir"
"u may chk them they r clean"I even lifted my leg to enable him to a wholesome view of the bottom of my slippers.
"no sir"
"u r loosing ur potiential customer sir"(sounding like an mba student)
"no prb sir" as if saying tere paiso se meri dukaan thodi na chalti hai
"please " a last resort "will take care the next time ,infact my home is nearbny so i'll not make this big mistake again"
"no sir"
"say yes sir" angrily i said.
"no sir".
Thats it my dreams got shattered of drinking in Chicane as it had been wen India bowed out of the world cup.But the pain was deep inside this time.
I m an earning man ..a software professional..n i m disallowed to enter a meagre bar...damn.The world was laughing at me ......u loser....(although no one apart from my fren was there).

"Dost ,dont loose heart lets try another bar"
I dont no if that was sarcastic , full of sympathy or jst another shot to make me embaraas and have loads of fun ...but i accepted my friends proposal n off we went to the best bar of Noida...

"Geofrrey's".It doesnt matter if i get embaraas again but if i won atleast the pride of my black slippers wud be restored to sm extent.
(I felt better thinkin that n went ahead)We made a plan n decided that i wud move behind my friend n try to sneek inside the bar till smone can see my slippers .
A serious lukin girl was guarding the entrance n looked very serious by her looks (as if waitng for me and thinking come u slipper boy i'll catch u)
I was feeling nervous n hid behind my friend who was completin the formalities ...i thot i wud sneek inside n felt better wen suddenly the manager came out.
now wat......... i hv to escape the hawk eyes of two persons ( makes it a total of 4 eyes)as if the police was lukin for runaway terrorists ...
I tuk a deep breadth.... closed my eyes n decided to make a dash...........(thoughts coming to my mind ahh another embarassment in store,another verbal dispute chapter aarrghhh)But here the destiny struck in my favor (which the Indian cricket team has been devoid of ages)...

the lights went off....n all f a sudden it became completely dark or dark enough not to notice ur slippers n i ran inside like a kid runs to grab a toffee from his father's hands.N caught the first seat available..
Wat gr8 timing it was ...the lights came on............wid me comfortably seated escaping d spies.
"sir u may please come here coz this is a better seat" came out the melodious voice of tht serious lukin gal..
"aahhhh m fine here thanku" clutching the chairs firmly wid my hands n preventing the view of my slippers n saying n my mind please leave me alone....
"order please" as if to close the chapter
Had some drinks beer n a cigarette but my mind was still on the day (eventful pretty much)..........my friend was drinking n smoking n njying all the moments n even laughing at me...bad friends.........
I thought its over now so njy but little remained...bf4 the day was finally over.I paid the cheque (my friend said he was from TCS n they dont pay him much so u pay)...as if adding salt to insult.......AHHHHh Bad friend .....
.n as we moved outside with the task finished firmly the same gal was standing outside ....she looked into my eyes wid a serious look on her visage(as if i know all the time u were wearing slippers ...i'll get u)then looked downwards ,stared their for a moment ..but bf4 she cud shower her anger upon me ...i ran n ran n ran..............

Moral of the story.....never wear slippers only shoes.......

Wat a day...
the end.
Characters- Anupam Ajmani, Abhinav ,Guards of the bars, managers ...........

PS-I think i shud kill my friend wid his sarcastic tones...wat say...

Indian cricket at its best

2007-04-04T04:35:00.000-07:00

Well after the world cup debacle where our Indian team did really well to play in the FIRST round of the cup and also snatched a win from Bermuda.

Lately their have been a lot of talks, controversies regarding the fate of Indian cricket effectively propagated by adrenaline fueled media and I must say that most of these discussions have been very illogical. So here’s an article which I have tried to write in a very unbiased approach regarding our cricketing issues.

Firstly the coach: Lately Greg Chapell has been made the scapegoat for our team’s dismal performances. Wee all know that Greg Chappell is one of the greatest cricketers of his generation.

So that signifies actually that he knows wht cricket is all about. The job of a coach is to better the techniques of the players and help them out, develop strategies and game plans and instill confidence among the players.

The executioners are the players who actually take the field. So blaming Chappell for the cup loss is not the way to go about when he has actually nothing to do in the field.

Secondly previous cricketers who say that a foriegn coach is not required for our country(stating reasons that he doesn’t understand our culture and stuff)are just trying to raise their own worth when actually they r not asked for. The fact remains that almost none of the x-players of India have been sought after by other teams.

Can anyone tell me the reason???

So this is a no issue. The person who is better suited to do the job must be hired (whether Indian or an Aussie or whoever)

Now comes the captain thing :Well it is a fact and has again proved that Dravid is a very defensive captain n lacks the killer instinct to win matches for India. So the question is shud he be sacked as captain. I feel that we don’t have any other option to replace him as captain and carry on the job.Sourav by far has been the best captain India has seen,but the way he's playing in the WC infact he grindedmade it visible that he'll not last long enough.(His recent gud form doesnt actaully indicate his shoddy display of batting done by him).

So let Dravid be the captain ...Groom a young, aggressive and consistent player to lead the side in may be next 2 years.

Now it’s the players who got selected:

1. Rahul Dravid – One of the best batters of our team. Failing lately but still a must for the team.

2. Sourav Ganguly: Past his prime, Grinding for runs…can still be a part of the team but
if does well.

3. Virender Sehwag:Given the maximum no. of opuurtunies more than even Zimbabwe can give. Must be sacked.(I hope his century against Bermuda is not considered)

4. Sachin Tendulkar:Wonderful batsman but is not doing much for the gud of the team.

Must be dropped and asked to prove himself in domestic circuit. Is still very young n still possesses the potential but needs to do well against top teams(their’s lies the difference b/w Sachin and Lara n here’s where Lara scores)

5. Dhoni: Common he’s a gud prospect.One failure doesn’t reduce his abilities..Must be retained.

6. Yuvraj Singh: Consistently inconsistent needs to be more responsible.Must be retained.

7. Dinesh Karthik: Must be retained.

8. Robin Uthappa: Pressure of the world cup took its toll on him, must be retained though…coz a very exciting prospect….

9. Irfan Pathan: India’s leading fast bowler for some time can now bowl upto speeds of 120 kph ..thts awesome man…….ahh common must be dropped and asked to work upon himself in all departments.

10.Zaheer Khan: Should be retained as bowling well

11.Sreesanth:Retained.

12.Munaf Patel: He hardly entered the team and started concentrating on line and length rather than working some pace upfront.Bowled without a single variation against Srilanka consistently at 125 kph (speed at which Kumble bowls).Must work upon pace and variation else dropped.

13.Ajit Agarkar:I have been a die hard fan of Agarkar coz of his abilities to perform as inconsistent as he can irrespective of the situations. The fastest bowler in our ranks,isstill not learning from past mistakes .Needs to be dropped.

Now our wonderful matchwinning duo of spinners.

14.Kumble:I don’t know how can he be a gr8 player wid an av of 31 to show. He should have retired 4 years ago but without deserving one got a chance to play in the cup all due to Vengsarkar and what happened?He retired now but without any grace whereas he could have retired long ago wid a lot of respect.Even Shane Warne retired before ,although he was bowling far better than anyone else.Its better that Kumble retired by himself rather than blocking the way for some better player.

15. Harbhajan Singh: is one of the most average spinner of his time and still has been retained day in and day out in the team without any valid reason or talent or anything.Altough did well in the cup claimin 0 wickets,still should be immediately sacked.Powar who was bowling very well was devoid of a place due to our awesome spin duo who r actually pacers(they bowl widout spin …funny )

PS-Wid due respect I must say that these players are gr8 but past record cannot always be a criteria to remain in the team always.Some may say that “form is temporary but class is permanent”,but at some point form becomes important.

The selectors:

Dlip Vengarskar ,one of the gr8s …,couldnt have done better by taking our cricket as back as he did.he drafted Kumble instead of Powar …thus gifting him another cup appearance.Kiran More did well to bring in a lot of youngsters but Dilip reversed the process.

Missed out were deserving players like RP Singh,Powar,and Gambhir.

Playing Pathan n Sehwag was another big mistake n revealed the way how our cricket is run.

Indian Media:

Our media is a major culprit who is effectively using the emotional content of this cricket crazy country to a large extent thus instigating disgust and wrath among the people.(Who have loads of time to do so)

Imagine a news channel portraying cricketers as criminals wid dialogues like “kasoorwaar kaun “ and others thus playing hard wid the emotions of people. They disregard the fact that cricketers are not doing any crime and are humans too.

Talking about print media...” the Times of India had these views about some specific happenings.

When Kumble was brought in the team it said that it’s a gr8 decision ,he is our no. 1 spinner (form not taken into consideration).

During thecup:Bringing Kumble in the team instead of Powar will hurt our chances.

When India was knocked out of the cup:India paid heavily for not including Kumble in the matches during the cup and will regret it always…

Actually this proves that our media thrives on creating controversies and follows double standards.

Finally our fans :I must say that Indian fans are very irrational and are involved in too much of emotions …Dear fans think logically not emotionally if u want our team to do well. Burning effigies and breaking houses will do much harm rather than gud to our game.Even the cricketers are human beings .Let them live normally.Dont make them gods wen they do well n neither run after their lives if they fare badly…And a message to our politicians ( like Lalu Prasad Yadav) especially …please do ur politics well(which u aren’t actually) and don’t interfere in sports matter…Infact I also find no reason why a politician is heading the BCCI…

There are a lot of issues regarding our system but I feel I have summarized various major issues here…njy

Cya

Do put in ur comments :)

Cricketomania............

2007-03-19T06:09:00.000-07:00

Infact India has already lost to "mighty minnows"Bangladesh and looks set to crash out of the world cup.(Lets hope that doesn't happens)
Its also a festive seaaon for the die hard Indian cricket fans coz cricket is the only sport that not only
unites our country but sometimes divides the country too........
So...,wat r these diehard fans doing nowadays(especially the females)......lets watch out....
(the details about the fans are purely real and their is no coincidence with the factual)
I stroked conversations wid some of my female collegues and hoyla ,they all had the same response...chk it out...
Me-So wat do u think abt cricket?
Girl- ohh yahh i like cricket very much...infact i luv dhoni and pathan and Zaheer and Yuvraj and dravid..

n ganguly ...r u mad!!! (Wat for ???)
Me-Ohh yahh ok...n wat abt Sehwag???
Girl-Well ....Who is he??????(Nice one)
Me -Hey U know India lost the match yesterday to Bangladesh???
Girl-Yahh, it was tough seeing my favorites players getting out so early...main to unka chehra bhi dhang se nahi dekh pa rahi thi ki wo out ho jaate the.
Me -Ganguly played well dont u think so?
Girl-Did hee...Ohh so that guy was ganguly...ok YAH he got the highest runs...but its of no use wen u cannot win a match..he's a bad player..he shud be sacked
gggrrrrr
Me -bt ur dhoni failed ma'am
Girl-It happens u knw..But i mst tell u he's got gr8 looks n i mst tell u India will surely win if they keep pathan in the team coz i luv him.
That is called a "die smart" fan...

Boy-Let me see the match ,sachin is in full flow....
ohh wat a six wata four wooowww (girl is getting frustated)
ohh shit ...he's out...
Girl -wow lets move ...gr8....awesome (thoroughly hurting the guy's sentiments associated wid cricket)
...
aaa hey wait who is that next batsman......
boy -its yuvraj ...lets move dear....
girl- i think we should see the match... after all its the world cup.sit dear ...we r watching the match
We will go afterwards...

and the wife................

Cheers....

For my dear friends...

My dear friends,specially the generation of software professionals (wow ,gives a feel gud feeeling ehh!!!) who have already created an aura for themselves by working for foreign clients without getting aware of wat exactly they r doing(tough job...!!!)As we all are aware of the amount of work we all r getting via working in MNC's (another feel gud feeling), I m sure u all must be tired with the kind of work u do day in n day out. So am I.Its really tough to come to the office at 10:00 (varies with this being the earliest) in the morning and start outlooking as soon u reach ur office (ofcourse wid a cup of foul taste coffee from dispensers with more water than milk in it).I myself am aware of the workalcoholism we all r suffering with due to diligently following this strenous routine . I mean checking 100's of mails everyday,forwarding them ,discussing them n stuff,and above all deleting them , requires not only gr8 fitness (specially of ur index fingers n thumb)but a lot of concentration and mental aptitude.This kind of a work, supplemented by odd and regular breaks,phone conversations,surfing aimlessely, chatting , lukin out into pagalguy.com and attending teleconferences(trying hard to understand the accent of various ppl around the globe without any fruitful consequences and excepting the fact that ur name is not exactly as u knew,eg.rahul becomes rule and vinayak becomes V-neck) really requires people of character to survive.Hats of to all of us for dutifully fininshing these major assingments provided to us by our employers and producing results that only we r capable to produce..n that too everyday...But my friends I have realised that these companies aim to maximise their profits by giving such tough tasks to poor souls like us who diligently work for them without a single expectation of any kind except the expectation of getting a meagre salary(full of taxes n hra's n kkk's n poc's etc...-some tough notations) at the end of a month.The worst part is that we r expected to be gud in these tasks from the very first day of our joining n r not given any training whatsoever on this difficult task.We straight thru jump from our kul college life into the hands of these MNC's n land into the world of outlooking and time killing.Still we expertise in this so early in our career shows the kind of aptitude and tendency to do hard work that we all possess.I know ur work has made u all very busy in ur daily lives n stressed u out ,but we need to get out of this stress or else we will very soon suffer burnouts....so my friends get a break n join my blog specially created for all of us,where we will meet ,post refreshingly wonderful articles and write our invaluable comments.I hope u all will get sm time out of the extra busy schedules of ur "professional life" n work on this lively endeavor.................Hope to catch up with all of u sooner than soon in this blog...CYA....
