i take this opportunity to quote a dear friend;
"When God decided to account for all idiots, i was too slow to raise my hand".. now that is creativity..juices are flowing..got a bright idea to take on the "rest of the world" or those who raised their hands..since i joined this class every individual has had some "spark" moment to show the rest of us..today i witnessed "yet another one"...to self proclaim creativity n b at its helm is unarguably the dumbest thing possible...just bcuz some people have their faculties in the right places doesn't mean everyone has it..and not everyone goes arnd telling others; "worship me!worship me!"..use ur brains n incase of doubt refer to someone who has shown its correct application..when most activity centres have failed to perform why have yet another one?? and if u think that singing n dancing is something new, then think again..u don't need a club or organisation to do it...infact u just do it!!...we are ready to b a "captive audience"...n theres no better to kill creativity than make it regular..or for that matter yet another event...
please, for crying out loud, don't make us cry...
to end i would like to share a thought which Edward De Bono said.."Its always difficult to implement"... i.e. u just sell the same thing with different labels..now if u think i have given u a "creative" idea, think again...

I am no good a specialist!!
sometime back one bright mind had nothin much to offer so he decided to offer us advance finance, knowing fully well that most of don't have it in us to do it...but like a kid who is promised candy i took an "informed" decision and appeared for the test...didn't do that badly also but apparently v were not too good or too bad...ummm..motamoti..so lets call in these fellows for an interview and enjoy ourselves..it was obvious when v heard that there is an interview most of us will not clear it...but for them it was a way to justify our thought...n thats what happened exactly...regretfully we were told that we are a piece of crap...i just wonder that when did we feel we were capable of this course anyway.. afterall we are not specialists..only satisfaction that i have is that i can take it on if i want but not here, from a place where u can reap the benefits of the brand...
on this thought i raise my glass (figuratively) and prepare for another blissful 9 months

to kill boredom u have to....
i was stupid enough to book my tickets for home so late and now i pay the price of wasting my time in my hostel room on the 3rd floor without any A/C, right under the sun. Its been like this since Saturday when i actually could have been home but like a moron i booked my tickets for Thursday and be stuck in the most boring place on the face of the planet. Well saturday was not that bad considering that i went to a pub with friends and beat the heat with some king of good times. from sunday i started my movie marathon...its good to have 24/7 internet which is free and in the company of equally bored friends, Torrent is the answer...downloading 2 movies a day and watch all the new ones for free was thw best thing ever..plus u have the comfort of A/C in ur computer lab which also serves as bedroom( its been mine... on n off for the summer) so far Oceans 13, Cheeni kum, spiderman, last king..,and some more are over...saved me the trouble of spending all the money on Satyam Cinema...did see a lot of Hitchcock movies also this summer...u must be wondering how did i finish my project...ladies n gentlemen, its all abt time management..so 1 more day in my cozy little shithole and i am off to party...

Look Back with Joy!!
one more week left to finish summer internship at India's largest foreign bank...u look back with joy of completeing another major part of ur learning in ur MBA education..but what have i gained is something i ask...d first answer comes to mind is gr8 friends who have more understanding of the business for so many yrs of experience but still treated as 1 of them...the treatment i got from d entire GM team is unimagineable...apart from learning all practical things about derivative business and forex u were made to feel part of d elite team( no 1 is allowed into d dept. btw)...n not just that being part of team lunch n dinner on regular basis n d opportunity to meet some "real big gun" of the company was part of the learning...being invited to boss's daughter's birthday(don't get ideas...she is a kid) n farewell dinner at Zara's are things i dont think many of my classmates got to do...when they say open door policy they mean open door policy...v could walk into d boss' cabin netime n he will give u 1 hr in dicussing a lot of things even if it was not related to d project...no amount of gratitude can express my sense of respect n admiration for these guys...they r in d business of making money but never did u feel that thats d only thing they did...
i carry a lot of memories of this place and none are bitter...will say this was the best part of the MBA program for me...

Thing u did'nt know abt B school life...
Its nearly a year in Chennai and life couldn't have taken a worse nose dive..the heat is unbearable but most people are worried about setting "precedence" in hostel life than being concerned about our health...after all it was not part of the fees. So u get up early bcoz u want to avoid the heat to go for summer training...but today i could not go as there is no water in the hostel...so another productive day gone to waste because some idiot broke the water pipe and now i havent had a bath...so my only option is to go to the computer lab n do my project there..but my clothes are an issue as no one can bear to see in in my boxers and someone has to rub me the wrong way with so much shit happening already...i just had to restrain myself from giving back a mouthful by saying the following things in my mind;"don't bark back because ur not a dog" (repeat it 10 times with deep breathing)... The only time "MAD"ras makes sense to me is when i am sloshed so i am looking forward to such a sensible evening soon
