BE$T D@Y$ @T !CF@!


Time flies and when it does you want to hold it tight,
At times words cannot express the importance of moments you enjoyed,
Coz those moments are priceless to get you the Feel alive.

Those were the Best days of my life- the MBA at ICFAI,
Where I found friends of lifetime, with whom I can share and fight.

Where I learnt how to manage time,
Along with important fundas of Life.

Starting from a rented campus, shifting to our OWN ICFAI,
Brought us in a jungle with half built paths and stone piles.

But still we survived coz certain things You jes cannot avoid,
Those tough days of life taught us how to live with resources so light!!!!

Every semester brought us a new aim, we trying hard to attain,
Pressure of CGPA reduced semester by semester, till it vanished to give us only a formality to get it over.

We had it all from bunking classes to sit and chat,
To enjoy teasing each other for a guy/gal we even hate to look at.

Our campus life was different from others, with so many places to explore n to ponder,
‘Jungle mein mangal’ was the theme in initial days, with gossips all around about new couples and their plays.

At times more than a place it’s the association u make,
Those Addas, we found are still fresh in thoughts so plain.
Where bdays were more than fun, official names were jes meant for attendance,
Where comics n novels became more important than books to read,
Where you jes cannot resist to use words n symbols to express your anger n tease.

Where list of movies to watch grew week by week, sharing files at LAN became a routine,
Where passing comments on IP became a norm, hi-jacking other’s laptop was yet another form.

Where craving for good food like pizzas n puchkaas, got nurtured by the mess food so pale n Ghatiya,
Where White house came as rescue with pastries, cake n tea so ravishing so freshening n so absorbing,
Where Ammas of labour canteen shouted at us so tough, n we did not get a word she used, so rough.

Where our struggle for our future brought a turmoil, but finally placed timely due to our effective toil,
Where wait for the offer letters ended in time, n we now termed ourselves duly Employed.

Life never seemed so perfect, n so very tranquil,
When last sem exams n evaluations look so very formal.

When we were free to watch movies left right n centre, no one to bother n to torture.
When we planned our trips with no lecture posing a problem, as now it was all so very conventional.

These two years will be remembered as “one of the most beautiful picture on my life canvas’
Bringing all the colours of joy, sorrow, pain, love, friendship, struggle together in my memory’s compass.

We laughed we cried, we loved we fight, we shared we hide,
All those moments bring a feeling of being alive.
Sometimes we must be hurt in order to grow,
We must fall in love in order to know,
We must lose in order to gain,
We must remember the moments in order to cherish them again,
Simply because, lessons are best learned through pain.
This pain is different, pain of leaving things behind to know its importance in time.
To know its depth so sublime, To know its reach in our heart and mind.

$UMM@RY of L@$T D@Y$ Of C0LLEGE!!!!!!

Hey..well I thought instead of writing every trip of those last days of my college..why not jes write a summary n then a Finale...well I would love to write in detail but I guess this will do :)
Hmmm to begin with my exams...well WOW...wht an experience minimum studies at the nick of time..n not at all a bad performance ya..so the formality was over...they got over on 2nd Feb..n then wht???? the era of enjoyment began :)...n people around us were wishing HAPPY MBA :) Imagine..as if its an Occassion..well it was not less than an occassion....we went to places n Gosh!!!!!Hyderabad is blessed with some amazing extraordinary Theme based restaurants man...n we checked them..most of them I guess..but to be frank, even we were falling short to visit them all in our two yrs time..that too when our college was jes 30-35 odd kms away from the city ...n they are all tooooo good...exceptionally well maintained...

We went to TZP...( Note..we are not as slow as a tortoise..we had seen the movie jes after the realize...but as it is said united we stand divided we fall...so jes for jigyasa we went thr again...n TZP deserves tht...i loved the movie newys...) n then our chain of restaurant visits started..eating shopping vallapanti all were in our pockets...coz we knew that this time will never come again..we never gonna enjoy like this again..n be together like this with no tension of tomorrow....so wht??? we went to "Koyala"- seemed like a mujara theme where Mr gemini n Ms Jigyasa planned their UP-theme Restaurant...dnt worry will let u know whenever it is inaugurated...n all are cordially invited in advance...

Then we went to SERENGITY- An African Jungle Theme...uffff tht was a treasured experience....we celebrated our frenz bday jes by chance...n were given a royal treatment with a FREEEEEE chocolate cake n a beautiful rose..tht i smelled till its fragnance was gone....n what freaks were we to sing a bday song n ask for a treat when the waiter came...jes to pass the message that our friend is not treating us well with a CAKE :)...so they were at our rescue...with a yummy fokat ka chocolate cake n warm wishes from there manager ..hey but really nice on their part to serve us so well...we had fun...clicked some snaps..moved here n there in their restaurant to pose for a snap or two...n that Your highness n Your Majesty..was also WOW ( well they were the names given to wash room's ...)So in all a ravishing experience...n then to campus...some gupshup..some bday celebrations n next day planning for another trip...back to home n then ......goodbye time...
the toughest time....
we did not sleep the whole night coz we had to leave the campus at 5:15 in the morning, n we came late from the city, had to finish those last chores of packing n had to sit with the ones we gonna miss :( All said n done..but the moments we spent there were the most cherished moments..sometimes u dont even feel like writing them..coz words fall short for revealing their importance.....there was a feeling of nostalgia, a heavy heart, tears in eyes...n a wish to live that L!FE again....

Everything is so fresh in mind...
Wish Life could jes rewind...
Wish to Laugh play n rejoice.....
Once again become college guys....

So this was it...Don't feel like writin more...but Will try to say it all through a poem I wrote jes after coming form there...Its not tht great..with flowery language..but Yes its..straight from Heart...Direct Dil se... :)

Promises at Times Are Meant To be Kept!!!!!! :)

After a long time I am writing…actually did not get time to…..well in the last post I promised to tell u guys about my BI project n our trip to Dhola ri dhani…well after that trip there were so many trips that each one demands a separate blog… Newys…during this period…there was a complete era of happenings….

Lemme finish off with that BI project…It is often said-everything is well if it ends well….right..arrey by the way BI is Business Intellignece..sounds as if I have worked for some FBI agency…naaahhhhhhh but ya the task was equally difficult with The most difficult faculty to handle…’Sushama marathe’…ask some people here at my college n u will know the answer 4m their very first reaction….she called us anytime for her doubts to be solved, n her work to be done…but kudos…we did it all…n one fine day..we were done with it…but naah…how can she be not confused???? Finally her doubt aroused on the day for which we were planning before a month …..Our Farewell…. ( Ya we were leaving this college…n deserved a grand goodbye)

She called me at 3:30 or so n wanted me to come n meet her..coz she was not able to understand some data findings…n part of the data in her file was missing…..wow…what timing???... Girls being Girls…we were preparing for the party…Saree tying is not easy man…ask us…n then when only 2 hrs remaining to get ready….I was in no position to go n sit with her for an hour…so wht did I do???? ;)

Well hats off to my guts…I told her “ Mam I m getting ready for our farewell…n can’t come right now “ can u beat that??? Yes I literally said NO to her…n was very rude…I m not writing the exact words of the reason I gave…it is kind of ehhhh hmmmm heights…jo bhi…but then I mailed her somehow the required stuff with the help of our Screwed up net…but in vain..then sent a Pen-drive with a junior n FINALLY…..again Mission Accomplished….she got it…n she used it in her presentation for which she made us work like hell…n this was according to her a penalty that we paid for copying a project of our previous sem batch…he he he …..ya we , as it is, submitted the copied project n she being she..Smart…caught us…But everyone has done the same…our tough luck …we got caught coz another group also sumbmitted the same project…Imagine..same class same faculty…n same projects for two different groups…he he he..so a series of blunders…but to end it I got 50 on 50 in INTERNALS…..wah wah..hai na achievement….ladki mein dum to hai..wat say??? :)

And our Dhola ri dhani trip was a Hit!!! We hogged the food garnished with pure ghee ,(seldom in hostel) Clicked snaps…watched Katputli dance, Broke their DecorativeCart which we thought is the real one…played Dumbchirades, kicked each other hard on swings….n njoyed like never before…so all n all Amazing!!! :)

Our exams were from 28th jan n Our Farewell was on 25th JAN… so obviously farewell at this stage was more important…ask Mr Gemini..how we actually planned n shopped for the D-day n how he always had a sarcastic smile on his face….saying..gosh..U girls !!!!!!!!

But it was a Gr8..I was looking decent enough I guess…coz I got many compliments that day (blushing) and even saw the one I wanted to..our college Singer.….staring at me twice…he he he..so that means…well..ehhhh…got it na…

So after all the evaluations and exams for which I did not study at all…yaar final semester tha…n I was not able to make up my mind for studying..n I m proud of it coz without studying also I wrote the exam in the same way as I did for last three semesters….but this time I enjoyed…so BONUS….

This was jes the beginning …we were waiting for our exams to get over so that we can njoy those last days of college :-( N we did…sometimes u know that you cannot live without certain things…still you have to… cause changes are bound to occur and time demands you to adapt them….

Will soon post about those last days, my movie presentation, our lovely trips to city, photo sessions and then final Goodbye to ICFAI, the place where we all lived every moment to remember. :)

till then take care...

!MPLU$!VE FEELING!!!!!!!

Right now me sitting in my room…..trying to figure out what should I do?? Well Tomorrow I have 5 evaluations n believe me I haven’t even started for any. To be frank I think I won’t coz I jes don’t feel like..Came back 4m PUNJABI DHABBA…To be precise our only escape from the screwed up dinner of our lovely Mess…. especially on Sundays. This place is actually good when you need to have nice dinner for a decent price. Today I read few blogs so guess ussi ka asar hai..…..jes felt like writing…coz feeling very quirky….While coming back from the Dhabba n while walking on that dark empty road a sudden feeling of keeping quiet and hushed engulfed me…wanted to be with myself..it jes clicked that I haven’t been to our hostel terrace for quite a long time…I used to spent time there when I was upset, very happy or when I jes wanted to be me…..

Sundays are generally for lazing around n I did the same…after having my breakfast…around 11:30 came back to my room n felt like lying down…since then my thought process is at its peak…I was not thinking about something specific…but ya was quiet…n then felt asleep..Didn’t even realize when???? Got up at 12:55 to be precise through a message (Tata Indicom people are actually using hi-tech marketing strategies, coz their messages haunt me at 2:00 in the night sometimes) but to my surprise I had a sound sleep..n touchwood for that…went for lunch….then for tea…n even at tea while sitting on the terrace I was thinking something or the other…I don’t know how to put that in words..but today going out n sitting is taking me into my own world of thoughts……n I guess that was continued when I was walking down that empty road…on my way back to the hostel..I was hardly talking…. I m not sad I m sure of that but Ya..i m feeling different..ab what is this different???... is a million dollar question…..

Got a call for tomorrow’s Viva…yaikksss…I guess have to start..but not having the right mind set..chod yaar kaun karega abhi…mann nahi hai subah dekhte hai..wat say????yaar yeh padhai kissne banai..sachi ab bilkul feel nahi aata..kher…. Hmmm so where was I???? ya on me feeling different….everything is coming to my notice today…

While coming back to hostel after tea..I saw a laborer’s child crying at distant n rolling down in mud…even that caught my eyes n I felt like going there to find out the reason…pata nahi weird thing….
I was also thinking to myself…that things are gonna change drastically in the coming months….starting from me going home for 2 months after a long time n then joining my job..living in Mumbai etc etc etc…this is the time when I can actually be with myself..can be with my frenz and can actually be so free….. to be precise ;’Vallie’ is the word. Its not for the first time that this thought crossed my mind..but along wid this a lot of things were jes making a flash…at times words cannot express what you want to….
I was missing something…I was looking for something…and I am still in a hushed mood…n believe me this kinda feeling has come after a long time…..Things are running fine…but still…. You know what I want to do abhi...to go to a place where I can sit quietly….. watch stars ( I love that)…n jes listen to some very soft music…a place where there is an open sky….n me lying down with my thoughts…may sound filmy…but I really want to do that…I wanted to walk alone..to sit alone..to think alone….I guess I should paint/draw something…hmmm will do that…

Hey me feeling good after writing…I know I haven’t written anything worth…but I m feeling good…this quietness is actually soothing…I can hear my watch’s tick-tick in d room…shear silence….n I m loving this pin drop silence…. guess should stop writing…coz words are falling short for me being able to explain what I want to….newys but it helped..now I will draw something.
Hey thnks for bearing wid me…n would like to thank few… those who have started reading my blog…par yaar comment phone par nahi yaha diya karo…aaj kal logo ki badi fan following hoti hai…so atleast people like me would love to see few comments here on the site itself….n for those who were asking me about latest happenings of new year..well there are many..got my Offer letter…bahut jaldi mila..unexpected..so that was gr8…finished my BI project Finally (don’t even ask..thts a long story..uske liye ek alag blog dedicate karungi…kal k baad..tomorrow is the grand finale) went to Dhola ri Dhani...n finally got the tickets booked for all of us…isse zayada kuch batane ko hai nahi abhi…well I guess abhi ke liye its enough…
Started writing a blog with a different tone n finished with a different one..now that is the effect of Spontaneity and writing helps…
Will soon post another…on my BI project n our trip to Dhola ri dhani..till then cya…

Bonne Annee- Hope a Spanking One!!!

Wondering about the title…well I m trying to learn some new French words these days….yeah n I m njoying this… Bonne Annee means Happy New Year.
To keep up the track I thought - new year deserves a post…
First thing first- chalo bujho to jane …. According to my blog’s display name what should I be busy reading with the dawn of new year ?????
Hint- Virgo
Yeah 2008 Astrological changes.
I jes love reading about astrology, numerology and stuff…lately I came to know about 12 houses of the Zodiac Wheel. Each house has a unique environment and meaning.
Basically these 12 houses tells u about different aspect of luck, behavior, success etc etc

First 4 houses ( personal houses) includes – self, possessions, communications and siblings and the 4th Home n roots.

The next four (social houses) encaptures creativity n children, services n health, marriage n partnership, Death n Rebirth.

The last four (universal houses) includes mental exploration, career, friends n group, Karma n spiritual.
Now After this class of astrology ( I know for some, it would be like attending a boring lecture n waiting to get it over) I m thinking that I should rate 2007 with each of these houses…wat say ( yeah I m goona describe 2007 monthly---‘copyright-amateur’- jisko signal milna tha I guess usko mil gaya ho…so plz aage no ilzaam..coz I hv given u the copyright)…let me try….n I m enjoying this :

To begin with Last year’s New yr Celebration
Jan 2007- In pune…awesome !! jigyasa, Kriti n me along wid some other frenz enjoyed shaking our legs to the beats of new year party with the happ crowd of Pune…so in all a fun-filled affair…was cool n I think I can place it in the 11 House of frenz n grp.

Feb 2007- This I remember was the month of planning for jigyasa n me, exams approaching n we decided that this time no playing around…halaki we woke up late as always..kyunki abhi tak MBA for me proved an advanced version of CCP that I learnt diligently during my engineering (CCP is Cut Copy Paste) but we were satisfied by our hard work ( kitne dino baad khud ke liye hard work word use kiya hai ) so would club this month with the 6th house Service n Health which includes work, education n hard work.

March 2007- Well Well well all n all a professional month. Industry exposure with one of the hard core FMCG co. n my experience with all tempo walas n upcountry market..Frito lays ( gosh I learnt a lot of marketing gimmicks used by Sales Officer ;) )
N how can I forget my entrepreneur venture with network marketing so it’s a Third House that includes change in day to day activity, learnings new ventures.

April 2007- Got acquainted with SIP..uff difficult….n Our Sem results…hey both of us improved our CGPA n was a good feeling. Ehhhhhhh kinda achievement so may be 1st House- Self.

May 2007- Ahhhh my first cheque ( my first part time earning) n finally that khadoos Boss took my final presentation ( jiske liye usne mujhko bahut nachaya- k square n jis din meri pendrive uske laptop mein jaa kar corrupt ho gayi- tha na woh khud corrupted)
But kuch to hua so 2nd House- Possession.

June 2007- Mast ghar mein aish…dnt ask wht value that break had. Lots n lots of gud food after SIP’s crash crunch n delayed meals. Fultoosh aalas, weight gain ( fit), jhakas photo-shoto etc etc …so 4th House- Home n roots.

July 2007
- Back to pavilion…to Hyderabad, our campus, n was a good feeling to be back on toes after the needful, though took some time to get into the time table. Can put it into 12th House back to my karma.

August 2007- Festive season, planning of going home at Rakhi, when we were 27 people at one place after a long long time n that emotional feeling of being together with ur family was great. Goes to hmmmm 7th House- social events n relationships.

September 2007
- he he he as always my bday n exams, (choli daman ka saath since 5 yrs) but dis time my bday overhauled the exam fever, n I was dragged into mud, was bathed with stinking Dal..yaiikkkkkkksssssss..my jeans is still lying unattended in d balcony so cant put it in any house exactly but ya can be fitted in 5th House of fun, gifts and n challenges ( exams).

October 2007- Don’t ask a tensed month, actually a process of shaping my career started in dis month- Placement, interviews, no serious classes but brainstorming. Well struggle make u strong n hence 9th House of Mental exploration.

November 2007
- the battle continues, no relief n to add on the pain, I missed marriages of my very close fren n sis…heart breaking,nothing happening, trauma etc etc so definitely 8th House of Death n Rebirth.

December 2007- Mixed , emotionally low but professionally a feat, but the best thing that happened was ME placed finally with good offer, so my career shaping n what a relief!!!! So definitely 10th house of Career.

Uff finally Mission Accomplished, great job, now I know I will never forget these houses n here my sphere of knowledge increases when it comes to astrology. Hence this was a crash course/ summary through a different topic of my interest of the year 2007…wat say…wat about 2008…well new job, new city, new n content feel of being independent financially n then u never know what you have for u in store but I hope I manage things n be successful in the work culture and then I thought of a line which I think is true for most of us: One of the finest morale boosters you can have, goes like this- “The best thing that ever happened to me Is Me, Myself”. So kabhi kabhi isko kaam mein le lenge…

Chalo Hope all of us have a rocking year ahead….cya…
