A few classes to remember...,

Our marketing class was the only one I found interesting of all classes. Me, shills, tito, priom, shilpi & manoj were there in the same class. Our marketing guru is thamrain, this is how priom pronounces his name. Our first day in the class was just an introduction about marketing. Six months have passed, but still we were struggling with the basic concepts. The only thing we do when a question is raised is to see each other’s faces & exchange strange smiles.

We were asked to form a group of two to make presentations. We were paired up, but only within our group. Shilpi was with manoj. When I went to my room in the evening, I saw him locked up in the room for long, I could hear huge noises, shouting’s...., Iam still trying to figure out the reason for such unusual behaviour. Is it that he got shilpi??? Doesn’t matter until iam stuck:P. Tito got Priom, its better we say it this way, priom got tito!!!! Of course he is good, talented & a lot more but she has got her own reasons to blame she got the wrong guy. I got shills! She is actually very vibrant in everything; she is one girl in our group, with whom I speak in my language. It was actually fun talking with her.

Whenever there is a presentation, I see others damn serious about it. But me & shills were just least bothered about it. Even when she asks about it, I say it’s damn easy & you are perfect to manage it perfectly. But from inside I too could feel my heart beat faster!! I took a presentation with her; I still wonder how we did it without any prior preparation. It turned out to be a good one, of course. Rest of our friends became bookworms, specially shilpi, priom they would have taken an appointment with Naresh Malhotra, no wonder. By the way Naresh.M is the author of the book that we followed for marketing class. It was the only class we didn’t use cell phones, sleep & all other stuff that a college student does in the class. We were sitting just like kids, shaking our head for every concept he said.

A lot more in the line.....,

Places & Pranks to mention....,

I really cherish every moment spent in Nit, I mean each& every minute. I have become a late riser after joining Nit. There wasn’t a single day; I missed the sunrise when I was in National Defence Academy. Iam always proud to say that name with lots of pride in me. I know some envy it, some ignore it, but few really value it. And these guys with me really valued it. There was something which kept us binding, lets figure out the force. Iam not Einstein but iam capable of finding this force with all my wits:P Every body had some or the other disagreements. But when we sit together in the place that was specially allocated us in front of Buhari Canteen, we laugh out with our hearts. Had Nit rented the front space of Buhari, we would have paid through our nose & I really mean it.

Priom, Tito, Ashish & of course me, we all were crazy about the bulls eye that is served in the canteen. Shils was always seen busy with a corn in one hand & her eyes searching if the ice cream shop was open! Now I feel like having a bulls eye, Let me find out if my mom is in the kitchen!

Mmmmm , had a delicious pepper bulls eye, that too my mom’s preparation.

There was a mix of languages in us. Everybody loved other’s languages secretly. I did love Bengali, but I show off that it’s not that good:P Chitts was very fast in learning Tamil, maybe there was some motivation behind. When I hear them speaking tamil, it was really awesome. It was like a small, cute kid struggling with the language & shils was not an exception in this. She can speak tamil but with lots of flavour in it. The flavour is a mix of Tamil, telugu & hindi:P

There is yet another place, The Juice Shop. We used to order Water lemom, oops its water melon!!! Sathakkadi, this is what priom says to the anna in juice shop to quench her thirst. Shilpi likes Water lemon, maybe she considers it as a mocktail (a mix of two):D

But we guys are happy with anything that is served in the place. May be we don’t have the specific tastes & needs in everything unlike girls.

Now coming to the classes, I had a red color bike. If I say the name, some of the goddesses might wonder what it means!!! Anyways it’s Passion Pro. It was an awesome bike that made the job easier not only for me but to all of us. It was the fastest mode of transportation which we had. We guys sometimes triple from the hostel on my red wagon. There were some envy eyes, but the red color managed their eyes. The first thing that we guys & girls do is to search for a desk under the fan rather than books. Next thing is to locate our friend’s northings & eastings, i mean the place where they are sitting!

My happiest moments in this vacation are writing these blogs, it is like reliving the moments again in front of my eyes!

Will be back soon!

The Last Lap...,

The day of marriage was full of commotion with the gorgeous women wearing their best dresses to impress the crowd. But we guys know that, it’s only us who at times give them importance when we are left with no choice. My mom was really impressed with Ekku that at last she busted out saying it to her.

That’s it, ekku was on cloud Nine. She just announced it to all other gorgeous with lots of pride in her. I know it really hurts, not to me but to other who is often with the illusion the they are the most wanted women on Earth:P

All of them where really excited to see a south Indian wedding & finally they realised their dreams come true. We reached the bridegroom’s place in no time with lots of fanfare. These guys became crazy with a dhoti which I tried hard that it sticks to my hip.

They started pulling it down as if it was an unveiling ceremony of a statue. Thank god I was wearing a belt to hold it tight.

The customs, rituals, ceremonies all were very impressive not only to them, but to everyone. As marriages are one life time opportunity to us, these funny things that happen make the

memories colourful.

I saw a movie Devil wears Prada on screen few days back, but I have seen it on real on the reception night:P

Yesh, they wore sari to make them look beautiful, but did they???? Yup few were beautiful to few eyes:P

The time was running out, that when i took them to the reception hall only the workers were left clearing up the place. We did take few snaps with the couple. My mom was beautiful & she was posing in between the neatly dressed women in Prada with smiles all around.

We had our dinner & packed off from the hotel. When we reached the college, my sister’s marriage was the News in the Campus.

Indeed it was a wonderful trip!

The trip is still on! We had a hectic schedule on the day we boarded the train to Tiruppur. Of course the name is

familiar only to me not to the people coming with me. I booked the the train

with the confidence that I could get

all of them on time. I finally did with lots of effort.

The train was schedules to depart from trichy railway station by 1700hrs. I prepared the presentation with shils, but unluckily we didn’t get the opportunity to make class interesting: P Once the class was over I heard shilpy screaming in the corner of the room that she left her mobile in lecture hall complex. The complex is quite far away from out dept where the class got over. I had to make sure that she gets her mobile first. I did think why girls have mobile phones at that time. But it’s a necessary evil that too for all

guys & girls in college.

We boarded the auto or van or truck or call it by some name..., this is to give the people reading this blog an option to name the vehicle in which we travelled till station.

We guys waited, much longer. The first one to sneak out of hostel was chitti, I really wondered how could she come out so fast. Then I realised that she did less face work :P Five queens, just imagine they really deserved a red carpet fanfare there. The last one as

expected was Ekku , but I couldn’t express my anger at that time, Iam still figuring out why:P

Now before even leaving the

campus, tito & shilpi had a quarrel. Now guess what, shilpi doesn’t want to come!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Goddesses. I was not angry this time, I just smiled at myself, just thought for a while how their husbands would manage after getting married to these beauties:P

Now i would like to call it a four wheeled vehicle, to avoid further more controversies:D It was damn slow like a bullock cart. The speedometer is really afraid to cross 40 kmph. It was exactly 1600 hrs, when we were out of the campus. Now the driver wants to fuel the bullock cart. I too have given it a name, Bullock Cart (why only Shilpi). That one hour till i saw the train, was splendid in its own way. I could even sense seconds in that hour.

The journey is not over, it has just started!!!

The Best time I had with you ...

Actually there are many, it’s hard to describe one moment as the best I had with you people. But I felt like writing the best I had with you guys recently so here it goes...Its ekta birthday treat. I enjoyed a lot on that day and also the hang out place was so cool, thanks to priom and ekta. Till that time I was missing fun for some time with you guys and that day I was all like fully taking everything out my sarcasm and all. Pulling legs of everybody all the time, it was fun. Food was also awesome, I don’t know what happened to everyone that day but we were like snatching food from others plate specially deserts. It was fun. But I felt sorry for ashish, poor guy. First of all he is veggie and by seeing the way how everyone was grabbing whatever coming one’s way he remained almost empty stomach. I remember ice cream falling on guys but that hardly stopped us from being wild. In total it was one evening I love to remember in 1st year MBA.

The Voyage...,

Yeah the voyage...., just before that i would like to share what happened last night.

I woke up from half sleep and was feeling damn thirsty. In the table placed at the corner of the room i found two things, an empty water bottle and my bike key. Obviously a thirsty person will pick up the bottle & search for water somewhere in the room. Instead i took the keys.Am i equally crazy like these guys??. It was absolutely dark when i stepped out of the hotel. I saw a couple of stray dogs staring at me, it remembered me of the incident that happened in NIT:P

I just had a fantastic ride before ending up in the coffee shop. I ordered for a lime juice. I heard the waiter shouting the accountant to make a bill for ice cream. Thats it, i was fighting with a vanilla scoop in my hand within a second.

She was too beautiful, i just spent half an hour with her. She made me forgot all the worries that was bothering me in that half an hour. I fell in love with her . I should introduce her to you now. She is the chennai city in the night.:P

Now coming back to the voyage, i call it a voyage its because the preparations and the struggle that i underwent make me feel that way.

I made calls to all of them. Of course every goddesses need their formal invitation. I got the same reply from everyone, "we will discuss in the night and let you know" for me it was like, all the chief minsters from the states of Punjab, Uttarpradesh, West Bengal, and of course we have our southern representation too Andra Pradesh, having a cabinet meeting.

Next day it was like election results, finally they all agreed to it. The Andra queen was quite skeptical about paying her visit to my sister's marriage.

As i expected, it happened, not the marriage but the CM's started having their problems. I have to use all my diplomatic skills to convince the CM's. As we have fights in states for the CM post, West bengal is not an exception:P

Now the Andra CM as expected is in a dilemma. She could neither lie nor convince her father. Yeah, southern states do have a genuine problem like this.

Anyways i do have my personal commitments in chennai, so i give you an official break from reading it:P

The Absolute Planners...,

As MBA's we are very efficient in planning and only planning. It not an easy task to organize a trip for all these crazy people. Its like convincing 9 different political parties in India. Everybody have their agenda to be fulfilled. Thats about incentives, likings, interests..., But i always had the gut feeling to organize a trip to my sister's marriage, I could make it with my 3 yrs of my NDA training:P

I just cant believe it. As i started to write about this wonderful voyage, the transformer got blasted in my place. These people are really dangerous :P

Let me continue it later, as i have to find a place in terrace of the building before it gets booked by others:D

Contd...,

Indeed it was a sleepless night, Of course girls are not the reason always:P But something from inside forces me to pen down about these crazy people, crazy moments...,

You got to know about a person who is carried away by photography, advertisements...., He learned to cycle in college, now hope he learns to ride a bike too. If you wannna learn the art of flirting,

he is even capable of taking a class "Theen din lakdi In". He is good in cooking up stories to

specially for the goddesses, the story of "Marra hua Kutha". May be while reading this blog he will know that everybody knows about it and not only one. His cubicle is always a mess, its advisable to have an oxygen mask while entering his cave:P I really admire his photographic skills as most of them does. Infact the idea about bong guys are still vague, may be because of the fact that none of the bongs in our batch doesnt know to ride bikes:D There isnt a single girl in our class with whom he hasnt flirted with:P

Next, do i really need any introduction for myself....., Let me write a few good lines about me before some of these guys pen down:P

I was completely from a Defence background where punctuality, discipline...., were the lifelines for almost 10 years of my life. I still find them in my nerves:D This college life is really a blessing and a cursing too:P I lost a prestigious career in my life. My personal life is not simple as i always wish. But simpler life is not interesting too:P

Iam still single, its not a information rather an invitation:P I would love to have someone who would love me all time not even sparing seconds. This is absolute selfishness but cant help it:P

Of course some more are in the line....,

Now its high time that i get most experienced, of course in all respects into the picture. Its Manoj, the goddesses call him kich kich. But still we are in the process of figuring out what it really means:P When i met him at first i really had a good impression. That doesnt mean that i dont hav it now:P "Priorities do change" A famous quote. It actually reminds me of someone who repeats this often:D I can call manoj, a relationship manager:P It stil stays in my thoughts, when he discusses with girls, it genuinely looks serious for all those outsiders unlike us. We laugh to the fullest. He said a lot about what is his vision, mission, objectives, goals as a college ppt. But now the only thing thats in his mind is SHE. Love All around :D

I can relive those moments when we used to booze in room intentionally to make his cubicle a mess. I unfortunately remained a spectator all the time. It was fun having him around. he always thinks differently from others
