Amazing illusion

its mind boggling...it seriously took me by surprise...Actually i got this from one of my friends orkut scrapbook...the first time i saw i thought its some 3-d image but then it turned out 2 b a simple image with no 3-d effects...purely a work of genius.

Effect essence: First look at the whole picture and then u would find the circles 2 be rotating, then focus on one of the circles (thats the effect);it ain't moving.


Now u say?....was i correct?

AZIM PREMJI- Applying thought

I came across a beautiful text - that was the essence of the talk delivered by Azim Premji - the architect of Wipro Technologies.

This surely gives us an insight into the essence of the shloka from Bhagvad Gita - which says - Karmanyeva Adhikarah Te, Maa Phaleshu Kadaachana... One has the right over one's actions and not the fruits thereof.

It was always interpreted the wrong way and people feel that it is the fruit that attracts the performer.

Lesson 1:

The funny thing about life is that you realise the value of something only when it begins to leave you.

As my hair turned from black, to salt-and-pepper and finally salt without the pepper, I have begun to realize the importance of youth. At the same time, I have begun to truly appreciate some of the lessons I have learnt along the way. I hope you will find them useful when you plan your own career and life.

The first thing I have learnt is that we must always begin with our strengths. From the earliest years of our schooling, everyone focuses on what is wrong with us.

Story:

There is an imaginary story of a rabbit. The rabbit was enrolled in a rabbit school. Like all rabbits, it could hop very well but could not swim. At the end of the year, the rabbit got high marks in hopping but failed in swimming. The parents were concerned. They said, "Forget about hopping. You are anyway good at it. Concentrate on swimming." They sent the rabbit for tuitions in swimming. And guess what happened? The rabbit forgot how to hop! As for swimming, have you ever seen a rabbit swim?

Lesson 2:

While it is important for us to know what we are not good at, we must also cherish what is good in us.

That is because it is only our strengths that can give us the energy to correct our weaknesses.
The second lesson I have learnt is that a rupee earned is of far more value than five found.

Story:

My friend was sharing me the story of his eight year-old niece. She would always complain about the breakfast. The cook tried everything possible, but the child remained unhappy. Finally, my friend took the child to a supermarket and brought one of those ready-to-cook packets. The child had to cut the packet and pour water in the dish. After that, it took two minutes in the microwave to be ready. The child found the food to be absolutely delicious?

The difference was that she has cooked it! In my own life, I have found that nothing gives as much satisfaction as earning our rewards. In fact, what is gifted or inherited follows the old rule of come easy, go easy. I guess we only know the value of what we have if we have struggled to earn it.

Lesson 3:

The third lesson I have learnt is no one bats a hundred every time.

Life has many challenges. You win some and lose some. You must enjoy winning. But do not let it go to the head. The moment it does, you are already on your way to failure. And if you do encounter failure along the way, treat it as an equally natural phenomenon. Don't beat yourself for it or any one else for that matter! Accept it, look at your own share in the problem, learn from it and move on. The important thing is, when you lose, do not lose the lesson.

Lesson 4:

The fourth lesson I have learnt is the importance of humility.

Sometimes, when you get so much in life, you really start wondering whether you deserve all of it. This brings me to the value of gratitude. We have so much to be grateful for. Our parents, our teachers and our seniors have done so much for us that we can never repay them.
Many people focus on the shortcomings, because obviously no one can be perfect. But it is important to first acknowledge what we have received. Nothing in life is permanent but when a relationship ends, rather than becoming bitter, we must learn to savor the memory of the good things while they lasted.

Lesson 5:

The fifth lesson I learnt is that we must always strive for excellence.

One way of achieving excellence is by looking at those better than ourselves. Keep learning what they do differently. Emulate it. But excellence cannot be imposed from the outside. We must also feel the need from within. It must become an obsession. It must involve not only our mind but also our heart and soul.

Excellence is not an act but a habit. I remember the inspiring lines of a poem, which says that your reach must always exceed your grasp. That is heaven on earth. Ultimately, your only competition is yourself.
Lesson 6:

The sixth lesson I have learnt is never give up in the face of adversity.

It comes on you suddenly without warning. One can either succumb to self-pity, wring your hands in despair or decide to deal with the situation with courage and dignity. Always keep in mind that it is only the test of fire that makes fine steel.

Story:

A friend of mine shared this incident with me. His eight-year old daughter was struggling away at a jigsaw puzzle. She kept at it for hours but could not succeed. Finally, it went beyond her bedtime. My friend told her, "Look, why don't you just give up? I don't think you will complete it tonight. Look at it another day." The daughter looked with a strange look in her eyes, "But, dad, why should I give up? All the pieces are there! I have just got to put them together!"

If we persevere long enough, we can put any problem into its perspective.

Lesson 7:

The seventh lesson I have learnt is that while you must be open to change, do not compromise on your values.

Mahatma Gandhiji often said that you must open the windows of your mind, but you must not be swept off your feet by the breeze.

You must define what your core values are and what you stand for. And these values are not so difficult to define. Values like honesty, integrity, consideration and humility have survived for generations.

It is values that define a person more than the achievements. Because it is the means of achievement that decide how long the achievements will sustain. Do not be tempted by short cuts. The short cut can make you lose your way and end up becoming the longest way to the destination.

FINAL LESSON:

And the final lesson I learnt is that we must have faith in our own ideas even if everyone tells us that we are wrong.

Story:

There was once a newspaper vendor who had a rude customer. Every morning, the Customer would walk by, refuse to return the greeting, grab the paper off the shelf and throw the money at the vendor. The vendor would pick up the money, smile politely and say, "Thank you, Sir." One day, the vendor's assistant asked him, "Why are you always so polite with him when he is so rude to you? Why don't you throw the newspaper at him when he comes back tomorrow?" The vendor smiled and replied, "He can't help being rude and I can't help being polite. Why should I let hisrude behavior dictate my politeness?

In my youth, I thought of myself as a rebel and was many times, a rebel without a cause. Today, I realize that my rebellion was another kind of conformity. Ultimately, we must learn to respond instead of reacting.

When we respond, we evaluate with a calm mind and do whatever is most appropriate. We are in control of our actions. When we react, we are still doing what the other person wants us to do.

I hope you achieve success in whatever way you define it and what gives you the maximum happiness in life. "Remember, those who win are those who believe they can."

My Rock Performance

One more ode to my imaginative world. Again i have something out of the box which sounds really funny 2 me but is also true to the core.

Starting with the cause----I have a Creative Zen mp3 player which has a super cool sound clarity and i m a pukka music lover mainly rock music. There is a lot 2 explain about my player and its tracks but thats not the main criteria of the post; so leave it.

AGENDA

I listen to music in all different locations- in my bed (actually चारपाई), in my toilet (i shit for hours.;-)), in my bike (ob! while driving) etc. So it occupies all those few minutes of loneliness in my day 2 day schedule. I listen to some songs and go 2 my imaginative world and being more precise its called as "Day Dreaming". I suddenly have a feeling that i am the vocalist of the song being played in my mp3 player and i m rocking the show to an unquestionable extent. I actually am not just a vocalist,i also play as a lead guitarist. My performance is Live in front of thousands of people (just the same way as in WOODSTOCK) and everyone is singing to my tune.

Mainly this reveals that i want 2 b:

• Preached by the audience for the sexiest voice ever.
• The hero with a cool hairdo and amazing physique
  
• in a position where people sing the song with me, its like chorus
  
• I m declared to be the ultimatum
• All my friends and family are watching and getting entertained by not just my performance but also with people being so mad at me( lovingly..;-))
• I am given the best vocalist award with a best band award for the night.
• I get a lot of offers from the girls around.( how cheap!)

I feel that in all my dreams i am always wanted 2 be the best out of the rest and want people to applaud me for everything i have done so far, these are my selfish motives which arouses such dreams.

PS: After the dream is over, i realize that its next to impossible for such things 2 happen i.e not in music but in anything where i m declared the best, So i start thinking about my Child (ya BTW i forgot 2 tell about my 16yr old son/daughter ..;-)) doing all this which i wished 2 do.

PS2:still somewhere down under i have a feeling that something like this will happen 2 me, coz its my dream and may be my dreams may differ from that of my child...;-)..how can impose it onto my child...

SWOT analysis, GMAT based

Great Piece of note which i got from a blog
Every thing written in bold is mine and the rest in taken for that blog, it is really worth reading.

You are applying to a B-school for an MBA. You know you fit the school and have done enough research. When you start writing your essays, you are expected to write about yourself and you don't know why it is taking so much time just to write about yourself. Introspection, "a conscious mental and usually purposive process relaying on thinking/reasoning/examination of one's own thoughts and feelings" is probably you have to do and find it very difficult to express your own self.

SWOT analysis is something which can come in handy for a situation, personality or organization analysis. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Although extensively used in marketing reports, one can use it to analyze a personality in a methodical manner.

Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors while opportunities and threats are potential external factors. Strengths can serve as a foundation for building a competitive advantage, and weaknesses may hinder it. By understanding these four aspects of yourself, you can better leverage your strengths, work upon your weaknesses, capitalize on golden opportunities, and deter potentially devastating threats. Thus with a successful analysis, you become clear in expressing yourself and thereby improving yourself.

Your Strengths can be:

• Your academic record
• GMAT Score
• Quality work-ex
• A unique leadership experience
• A unique hobby
• A unique skill
• Community participation
  
• Knowledge of a foreign language
• An initiative taken at workplace to solve a complex problem
• Enthusiasm, energy, imagination. Your qualities.
• ... the list can go on. Just spend some time and make an exhaustive list.
  

Your weaknesses can be:

• Poor undergrad grades
• Low GMAT Score
• Less work-experience (how was the quality?)
  
• No managerial/leadership role (bad can you justify your abilities?)
  
• A bad habit (procrastination, laziness, poor communication skills?)
• No international work-ex.
  

Now when an internal analysis is done, we'll see how your strengths can be used to grab possible opportunities and how your weaknesses can be possible threats so that you can work on them before it is too late.

Some of the opportunities can be:

• A perfect fit for XYZ school based on your experience (Your marketing stint in the IT company fits with your post MBA goals of marketing, etc.)
• Your GMAT score is above the average GMAT score of the school.
• Your international experience was considerable.
• Increase in no. of seats this year. ;)
• just research the school and fit yourself in, building up on your strengths.
  

In a similar fashion, corresponding to the weaknesses, threats can be identified:

• average GMAT score is increased this year
• More number of people have community involvement.
• Many people have international work-ex which you do not.
• You are part of a large applicant pool.

A SWOT analysis template is available which can be used. Remember that SWOT analysis is just one method which can be used for building up on significant achievements in your life and building a story. Apart from MBA application, it can also be used for within the company appraisals, although I have provided examples targeting MBA Application.

Hope this helps in bringing out your true self and writing a genuine application. Although I do invite other ideas from the readers which I might have missed out on.

1008 @ Aavini-aavattam

Actually i thought of posting on the rakshabandhan day ( Rakhee ) but i was in my cousins place where internet was very scarcely used , so dint wanna cause any problems. I went to my cousins place on monday whereas tuesday was the Rakhee day. Did timepass on monday and then got up early on tuesday did संध्यावंदन्म ( पूजा ) after ages ( around 2yrs i guess ), then my sister SHUBHA tied Karthik, Manoj and Me rakhee with sweets and कुमकुम, i got her a gift which was unfortunately not a good one because she already had it, I got her a book called "STUDY SMARTER, NOT HARDER" which had been in her house from the past 2yrs ( bad luck ). Actually i thought it may be of some use 2 her as well as karthik whose is in school. Then comes the main part thats going 2 the temple for पूजा.

TEMPLE SCENE

It was 2 start at 10:00am but when we reached it had already started, we had missed few श्लोकास , its not a problem in any way ( for me at least ). The पूजा was really tiring as it took 3hrs to finish, i have been 2 such पूजा before but it never took so much time, never mind its not that i had some urgency but just for the sake of information i mentioned it.

POST पूजा
Then we went back and then chitti took our आरती n all (BTW this was the first time). Then it was time for a heavy lunch, had it and then took up a book 2 read; dont exactly remember the name but it was (....the ice is melting....), its a self help book and was really helpful. Then i left my cousin(manoj) in T-Nagar bus stop and picked Nani ( gradma )to come back home.


NEXT DAY MORNING( the d-day;-))

It was time for me to tell 1008 times गायत्री मंत्र। It is considered the perfect starting after the avini-avattam ceremony, its actually the first day of the new poonal ( thread ) worn. I had no plans of doing it but as my granny reminded me of it, i dint want 2 disappoint her and as a matter of fact i had told my brother (manoj ) that ill surly do it ( i think i was @ full enthu @ that time ).
Sat down infront of the shelf where all god's( photos and मूर्थी are kept )

BEGINS:

1. Took a book and a pen, made 10 lines so that i finish 100 and strike out one of them and so on till thousand( not that innovative )
   
2. गायत्री मंत्र is explained in the picture down below
3. I had a stop watch to exactly know how long it took for me 2 finish 1008 time.
4. For the first 500-26:43:78, which is approximately 27 minutes, then the next 500-27:15:30,which is approximately 27 minutes ( again ! ).
5. So totally it took around 55minutes to finish 1008 times.
   

PS:it was fun doing it as it comes just once a year

PS2: the last 8 out of 1008 were told very slowly by me, i always believe in giving a perfect ending...;-).

NIGHT OUT @ IIT

I m just pissed with my title rejection for the final year project but have got days to find another, actually i have not been rejected; its just that my first title was application based and the second title would not possibly fetch me high marks.

TOOOOOOOOOOOO much of driving 2day.....i surly would have gone more than 500kms in my bike today and by the way i paid Rs50 for not wearing helmet ( unlucky again ).

Came back from the coll and was dead tired, then i had 2 meetings to attend.

MEETING 1:
(5:00pm-8:00pm)
My friend vinoth (pasha) had come down to chennai and was to leave the next day, it really feels nice 2 c a school friend after such a long time. It took me no time 2 recognize him, i just cant believe that vinoth has not changed a bit from 12th standard. Took him in the chennai traffic 2 ESPAHANI center, where we went 2 CCD( cafe coffee day ) and were talking for around 3hrs, we went on chatting and revisited our 12th days and also had a mature talk on girls, relationships, higher studies, placements etc. Then i left him in UDAYAM theater and headed for the second meeting. One more thing, he had forgot his छाता ( umbrella ) in CCD...still careless about things.


MEETING 2:
(8:00pm-5:00am)
After that again i had 2 stick my pained ass to my bike and go all the way 2 IIT for a night out. Went inside and was called in CCD ( again!)....but fortunately there was nothing to order nor i was interested 2 sit inside. Atru was there with paddu, then paddu took some snaps from her new NIKON 8.5 mega pixel digicam . Then a lot of other people came who are worth mentioning one by one (done in the end), we all headed to LEVEL 4 (L 4) in CITY CENTER for a dinner, its an expensive restaurant which is a chain of the SHERATON hotels.

dinner characters were ready for a wild photo ( mine ( photo ) came the wildest ) and then literally it took around an hour for us to order and the restaurant staff got pained and took the order and got it really fast ( they were fed up of us ordering so late ) or its just there service which is so damn good ( fast ).

Activities in the restaurant:

1. Ordering confusion
2. Singing cheap old songs and mainly Himesh Reshamiya hits ( it was direct from the nose ..;-) )
3. Frequent jokes and fundas flowing around here n there.
4. Taking snaps at all scenic places of the restaurant
5. Paying a Rs3000 bill..;-(..actually not that costly as it was just Rs300 per head.

then after the heavy dinner we planned for a MARINA beach visit. There was a tradition or else a ritual wherein every one eats a orange ice cream....we all had around 2 ice creams each and then went to the sea shore for the breeze. There few of them went inside the water but most of us were out chit chatting, again b4 leaving we took some snaps with weired posses. Then went back 2 IIT for the night stay.

ADVENTURE which was not so ADVENTUROUS ( spl!).

We were 5 left after 2 went in the bike, so we had to take an auto and he took Rs150 to travel till TARAMANI wherein its only Rs40.....never mind its night time and we were 5 traveling in a single auto. So we headed 2 TARAMANI for buying fags ( sutta ) but on our way police caught us and people in the auto got panic and then were asked 2 get down the auto but it was a peace situation....they asked for our ID cards and Paddu was questioned as she was the only female (not a harsh talk)...she gave her license and nothing happened ....we pushed 2 TARAMANI bought around 3 packets of fags ( wat freaks )....went inside IIT 2 have them.


GROUND SCENE

it was the final destination and we all were damn tired. So all headed 2 the ground 2 spend the rest of the night. We actually had fun there and to list as far i can remember:

1. Fagging- the main mission
2. Jokes
3. Jogging in the ground
4. Hearing 2 some stories ( fiction & real )
   
5. Discussing Hyderabad
6. Looking at all the snaps in the digicam ( again jokes ! )
   
7. sleeping for a while in the presence of blood sucking mosquitoes
   
8. Pissing ( few of us )..no water 2 wash our hands, as a matter of fact i had innovative methods to hold my penis ( talented..;-)), i knew there would be no water...thats y..
9. Taking off Chuttard's pant from the back seat of the cycle.....It was really complex and it was actually Atru's mistake...some how we managed 2 get it off..But it had hole in the exact location as expected... also took some snaps..

Then i and paddu headed back home and as it was very early in the morning it wasn't safe for paddu to go alone in auto ( how caring! )....So i dropped her near her house and came home by around 6am.

CHARACTERS PRESENT:

(left 2 right)....Bharath, Chuttad, Sailesh, Phantom, Paddu, Bana, Atru, Maggi & Me

1. Sailesh- direct bond between paddu n me and off course all others..common friend 2 everyone here....also the source 2 all my other IITan friends
   
2. Bharath( enfield )- sailus roomie and a hyderabadi who loves eating.....interesting character who is almost into everything from porn 2 acads 2 institute etc...i think there was a discussion about shagging but it got diverted due 2 paddu's phone call...;-)
   
3. Atru- he is the source of inspiration...i just came 2 know about his schooling and how he made it 2 IIT...its truly a source of inspiration...hats off 2 him....always Targeted by bharath.
   
4. Chuttad- singer as i felt...full time singing in the restaurant and also paining me ( just kidding ) for selling my bike 2 him...started singing and was really authentic in style not 4 the sake of getting compliments but mimicry was the main motto.
   
5. Phantom- a banglore rocker with a hairdo...nirvana style...makes at most usage of IIT slang and revisits motherfucker,chundu mundu, मादरचोद once in every 2 minutes... and one more thing, he is a basket ball player who had a match the next day
   
6. Maggi- i knew him from saarang...good singer ( classic types )...bana's family friend and also thanks 2 his car which was very useful when coming from city center 2 the beach.;-)

Now the only 2 girls in the gang( actually they were the ones who planned everything ):

1. Bana (left)- "center of attraction" as she was really awaited by everyone for all different reasons....she n paddu somehow managed 2 c me eating chicken in a weired way.... i must say that i seriously dont no how 2 eat it..
2. Paddu- last but the best....was the most required and attended person in the gang...she is acutally "The planner" of this night out...cheers 2 her....( i feel )She has enormous trust in all us thats y she could have a night out with all guys....or else she is brave and strong enough...;-)..
   

And off course___ Me - not 2 mention ( cant praise myself on my own blog.....can i ?)..

PS: the above two photos are from the same digicam mentioned in the post..both @ Level 4 (L4) in city center.

Have 2 Work hard..

I sometimes think about my past and i feel that i have not done fair 2 my part and nothing has happened as i wanted ( 99.99 % ). My experiences speak about my failures and i have no success stories to boast about or as a matter of fact to feel proud. When i meet different people and see the way they behave or carry themselves, i feel that i m not what actually it looks, i always keep my inner self reserved and never let it out. I find my inner self to be really good, i had no harsh thinking and i was really true by heart but now i have no faith in it, all this change which has got me in a bad state of mind and always makes me to think bad about myself.

Come on ! now i feel i am old enough and can think of what is possible and differentiate between facts and irrelevant thoughts. Now after 20yrs i realize that i have not done good in my schooling and have made myself ineligible for a lot of things and one more thing as its a know thing that i had a biggest ever blow (academically) in my ending years of schooling i feel i had the worst ever exit as expected and could have really done better.

I find success in academics and in none other things. I always want to see myself in top positions when it comes to me and my colleagues. But as i have learned to be optimistic, i feel that all the people who have achieved at most success in life are those who have experienced failure through out their younger days ( i see myself lying in that category ).

Again i find i am lacking somethings and wanting 2 stress on them:

1. Relationship management
2. keep Swearing and promising
3. Aim in life is vague
4. No confidence and self respect
5. Reading and memorizing habits

I must say this in the end that i ain't afraid of failures but i am afraid of the opportunities and its acceptance at each part of life. I m really in search of a high roll success. Thats what comes to my mind b4 doing anything.

its all dekhava!

Why is this happening 2 me....Its not intentional but its harmful as far as relationship is considered...i need counseling from someone who can sort out this thing in me.

WHATS THE PROBLEMO......

Its just that i want to give at most respect to my parents but i always end up giving very little and i don't even care for their feeling and i talk all rubbish regarding some family issues. I always come home thinking that everything has 2 change; as in the way i behave with my parents and friends. Actually with my friends i behave properly its just my parents with whom my behaviour is on the lower side.

I m a little shy i guess 2 behave the same way as people usually do in their houses. I seriously have some problems in reacting.....i m a 90% autistic in reacting 2 people ( i give a damn 2 feeling and sometimes i don't even give that, i m still with no reactions ).Its not just with my parents , it seems that its with every one i meet.

Lots of things which people notice in me and which are really there in me:

1. I don't react properly and sometimes i don't react, its not that i don't like 2 ;there is something in me which does not want 2 react apart from having a wanting 2.
2. I don't treat people properly, this is the problem which lies only with my parents or the people who are really close 2 me.
3. I m emotionless, this i get very often and 2 an extent i feel i m but have no reason 2 change coz its natural for some people 2 b like that.
4. I purposely give an impression that i m angry and disinterested, its mainly bcoz i want more attention or its bcoz i would require myself 2 b treated as a special person.
5. I m selfish, this is very much expected from a person like me, i think a lot about myself but its existing only in the professional and personal issues not social.
6. I have no sense of respect, i don't respect people; this is just coz i have no feelings for them and i don't want 2 commit 2 them.
7. I lie a lot, all lies which i get out of my mouth are in front of people who are really close 2 me and not that i lie and take advantage of some other person, there is always pun intended and i always try 2 make sure that i deliver a lie in such a way that the other person knows that i m lying. This is called as " lying without lying"...;-)

That's it....i m not really bad but i m to an extent and its not that i m 2 hide it.....every person has some pit holes...its good 2 make way through it rather than make way 4 it.
oh k oh k...i would turn philosophical if i write more....that's all for the news today; have a good day...:-D..

PS: its relationship which is never on my way

PS2: i m different personalities for different people

PS3: there is nothing 2 hide and its by the way its all true..:)

Jobs...but y?

I am happy that i have a job in hand. Actually i m happier coz i got placed in the college which was always doubtful not that i m not talented or something but its just my college and the employers who keep lots of eligibility's which may not be fulfilled by me( as a matter of fact many of us ).

Now that's not the agenda. I took the initiative 2 write this post just bcoz i have got pained with these employers in INDIA who cannot judge a student by his/her talent. Again not 2 boast but i m good in communication and also in programming and my academic credentials which are fairly required in the company are A+ ( seriously, no jokes ). But one thing is always there in my mind, if a person is ready 2 work and demands money higher 2 his peers then why cant he get it, i mean opportunity is not what is i need; i need the answer for a simple question

WHY ARE PEOPLE LOOKING FOR BRAND WHEN ITS THE MATTER OF PRODUCTIVITY?

I do realize that brand is important thats just bcoz where ever i go i look for branded things and its always advised 2 go with a brand rather than an unbranded thing. But that is selling and getting profit, but in this job system its all about producing results and making the boss happy. How can a person look for brands when productivity is concerned?.
eg.- a normal stitched shirt for a local Taylor may be better than a Kappa/Levi's/Killer shirt

RECRUITMENT AND REMUNERATION fundas which may be really wrong but are there in my mind:

1. Consider the subject required for the job and not the degree or not the so called brand
2. Why the hell is there an eligibility for things, for instance a person who has not done well during that exam may have realized and covered up 4 it in the future
3. Keep a test on the subject of requirement and make it tuff so as 2 get the perfect candidates
4. Make the entry level more interesting by giving variable packages to different candidates on the basis of performance in the test ( or keep some parameters )
   
5. Train them for the minimum time and again look for a revision in salary and then push them into the deep waters of programming or that particular subject.
6. Nothing wrong in firing a person who is not performing.
7. Get the inlet outlet streams 2 b really functional ( fast ).
8. No reservation consideration at least in jobs as its talent and not cast that does the job

these were the things in my point of view, may or may not b correct. But i have some things 2 state regarding my thought process during placements:

1. we were not aware of what would be there in the test, the content of the paper were told just few days b4 the d-day( acutally i mean the exact content ).
2. We were told to do puzzles and all different sort of things for an interview but nothing was asked 2 us. So make sure of what all are required for the job. May be its required depending on company 2 company , atleast make us aware of it.
   
3. Give complete guidance on what were the questions asked and what would be the best way 2 get the job
4. Give recommendations, they are not bad as long as they are in the college placements coz its for the college students and we are the ones getting recommended. Considering the students who are really deserving , its best that they get placed fast and make way for others 2 get the other jobs ( fair enough ).
   
5. give every advice and every knowledge required in advance.Dont hurry up for things.
   

PS: i don't no whats in my mind but its all shit

PS2:i myself got confused after writing as i m not able 2 understand it, so Mr/Mrs anonymous if u can plz comment on what actually u understood

PS3: placements and jobs are pain, its a part which we should get over as soon as possible.

PS4:I have no complains 2 my department and my college for placement preparation as its all bcoz of my dept staff and their training which finally helped me in getting placed.

PS5:I have dreams of becoming an entrepreneur, i would surely recruit intelligently..;-)

Travelling..sense of wealth

At last i have got something in my mind which truly got aroused by one of my friends. This post is dedicated 2 the mode of travelling reflecting to the sense of wealth. I feel its all rubbish when a person talks about mode of travelling 2 b connected 2 the wealth of that particular person( or his/her family ).Not that i have been talked 2(just in case).

I was talking 2 paddu ( one of my friends ) and during our conversation she came up with a question about why not travelling by plane; actually i m in hyderabad and would be going 2 chennai tomorrow. I m actually travelling by TRAIN which in a way sounds cheap, so when we were talking she asked "why r u not coming by flight?", this particular question would have been really tuff and embarrassing 2 answer if it would have been someone else.

Her question is the main reason for this particular post.I m well off and can afford 2 travel not just in plane but also in business class ( no jokes ). But my father is a down 2 earth person (that 2 very much ) and does not like me spending cash for silly reasons. I cannot back answer him telling about this particular question and make him change his mind just bcoz i get embarrassed answering it.


My VERDICT:

1. My thinking is that- its waste spending cash travelling on a plane(if no emergency); i ain't telling to save cash, i think we can spend intelligently...at this point of time an example has come up which is worth stating.

I go by train/bus with full comfy with a nominal expenses of Rs 800, for the same journey if i m 2 go by the cheapest fare flight then it would amount 2 Rs2800, now subtraction is made simple and here we have Rs 2000 saved. As i said, i m not here 2 save but 2 spend intelligently, so the idea is that this money could fetch me a jeans or a chirag din shirt.
Now that's what is in my mind.

In both ways, as we can c the overall expenditure is the same i.e Rs 2800 but i had something useful with me in the end. Now possibly a back answer to this question would be that, u can spend some extra money and buy that same jeans but the question does not lie on who is richer but it stresses on travelling reflecting riches....so i feel its wrong 2 compare riches with travelling sense.


This would have been good enough for me 2 explain " Y i do not travel by plane and use cheaper modes ".There were no intentions of me telling how rich i am and what all i have( if at all i had been ).



PS:this does not reflect any cruel intentions towards paddu or her questioning, truly speaking i have been questioned the same way by many of my friends. As long as answering is concerned, i have my own way of doing with it for different people. This is not bcoz of them questioning, its only bcoz i felt the need of it.

PS2:I really do feel that my Father is correct( actually i have never felt that he has gone wrong is money sense )..i have no regrets in going by train or a bus.

PS3:One more thing 2 state, whenever i go by train/bus it has 2 b a journey less than 12hrs, if its more that 12 then most of the times i travel by plane, that's bcoz of the duration and nothing 2 do with comfort.

PS4: Mr/Mrs Anonymous if at all u have read it fully, never ask or judge a person on his/her travelling senses. do not ask that question stated above.;-)

I aint frm MIT/Stanford/Wharton

Contrary 2 my thinking, i have finally decided 2 sort out this bloody personality of mine which makes me feel that i m "Jack of all trades and master of all"...this feeling comes up whenever i m alone and i have nothing 2 do.

I always have this feeling that i m studying in MIT and i have friends ( Indian friends ) who are lower 2 me as compared 2 the intellect ;actually as compared 2 anything under the sun. why do i feel that i m someone special and someone who has a lot of knowledge and cannot be challenged, in short i feel i m Invincible.

yesterday i had this exact feeling and i started off thinking about myself doing the following:-

1. Writing International Olympiads and securing the first rank.
2. Beating Nobel laureates in their subjects ( mainly science ) and feeling not so hyped as its very usual for me.
3. Having 2 much of head weight and telling others that exams r simple and can be dealt with nothing but confidence. Preparation is not required as its a piece of cake.
   
4. Having won 10,000 USD for coming first in my dept and winning some arbit award.
5. Giving Advices 2 people regarding exams as if i have come 1st in it without wanting 2 come.
6. Being praised by friends in front of everyone ( i meant my family members and friends ) about my so called achievements and the way i approached it. One more important thing is that i m not present at that instance when people r praising me.;-)..this adds 2 my value.
   

Happiness is assured 2 me wherever i go and i have reached a self complacent stage of my life and i m not wanting any worldly pleasures and just require knowledge and want 2 establish myself as a Nation builder and not a Money builder ( as in the richest man or something ).

Why do such things come 2 my head, sometimes i feels that its all because of my inability 2 reach high credential or its my dreams which makes me want them but seems impossible.



PS: After a good thought process, i have reached the verdict;-)....thinking about being a super duper cool chap is not bad but wasting time on it is really a matter of life n death coz it consumes around 15min of my daily tight(sort off) schedule.If at all my schedule is not jam packed i can do such things n get away easily without any pain.

PS2:As i get easily inspired by people, its my mind which makes me not just get inspired 2 do the same as them but also 2 be them or experience what they experience and many a times i want 2 overdo their achievements.

PS3:May b someday i would give a lecture @ MIT of my experience and have a deja vu.

PS4:I should end this thread as in PS3 i feel that particular personality of mine is wanting 2 come out.;-)



ending with a wonderful thought......

MICROSOFT..a visit

2 day was really an informative and a chill pill kinda day....


i m in Hyderabad literally doing nothing, my friend kishore had come over for a day and was 2 leave 2day, i had 2 drop him in his brothers place and v also had a Microsoft visit, His brother is working there so he took us as visitors.


The office is mind blowing...has 2 b coz its the best campus in India( as told 2 us ). Its a huge place with almost all the amenities which an employee can think off. In all its very suitable for a person like me.;-)

we entered the campus with our car which was checked for an employee ( ob! employee was there with us ), his brother( KEERTHI KIRAN ) flashed his ID and we were let in.

we parked our car in the parking lot and then we saw a nice ground where the employee's were playing cricket and there was also an attached hockey, fotter and basketball court. I must say that it was really maintained. Then he took us inside the building; where there was another security personal who had 2 make us an ID card for entering inside. Its a nice procedure, first he will take the employee's ID and then ask our names for entering and then take our photo and readily make a temporary ID, we then had 2 stick the ID and move on with his brother for roaming around inside the office.

He showed us a lot of places and some of then which i can list down:

• MSID- Microsoft development center
• cabins, cubicles
  
• gym
• pool, Foosball, x-box 360, Table tennis, TV etc
• cafeteria 1 and 2, some eateries "on the road" ( that's what they call it ), barista, frankie
• MSIT- this is being built so just its name and nothing else
• Their team photo and all different items which they develop( workspace )
• White boards (with all "age of empire" strategy )
  

we saw all different things listed above and truly speaking it was a "state of the art" campus. Truly amazing architecture.

ya by the way, we started of playing little Foosball ( lost royally ) and after that we headed for some POOL ( it was good 4 me, got lot of hits ), then b4 going home v had a coffee in the barista cafe just outside the building but inside the campus.


I m trying 2 enquire about the Internship provided by them, hope 2 make it 2 the interviews at least for a project work(;-))...also was having something in mind regarding WIPRO being the same as that of Microsoft.....hope it isn't 2 much 2 ask 4...but ya..its a tuff life as people have 2 work more than 10hrs a day.

REBIRTH... FROM AN ACCIDENT

WHAT AN AWFUL DAY....THE MOST SCARIEST DAY OF MY LIFE.......

I STARTED FROM CHENNAI 2 HYDERABAD BY DHANUNJAY BUS TRAVELS(coach no:3369 seat no: e1).....
Its not that i was travelling for the first time in bus or as a matter a fact it wasn't even my first time in that particular bus....i had come in the same bus in spite of me being warned about its dangers..


I am seriously feeling lucky 2 have survived coz the bus was about 2 have a very serious accident....Its all because of god's grace everyone in the bus including the driver are alive...


INCIDENT and ACCIDENT:


7:00pm- Stated from my house to coimbedu bus depot( pvt buses ), got an auto from my house to the destination ( charges: Rs.60)
8:00pm- The DHANUNJAY travels started from that place 2 hyd.
9:30pm- after seeing the same movie as i had seen in the last 2 last week( in the bus)...i was a bit hungry and ate chicken biriyani in some dhaba where the bus anchored.
10:00pm-12:30am- We saw the rest part of the movie and then most of the people slept but i was listening 2 my i-pod(zen).....In the mean time i had a chat with paddu,avi,deepak(b'day boy).
2:00am- i was awake and suddenly i saw the bus going up on the divider and could feel the turbulence , then there was no time 2 react at all .... The bus was around 100km/hr when it had 2 get down the divider and land on the other side of the lane. While the bus was on the divider the bus driver tried to bring the bus down the divider to the opposite lane but luckily or unluckily there was another huge truck coming directly opposite...as the bus went down the divider( seriously man!!) it got tilted ( around 10 degrees or so )..then the truck hit the edge of the bus and there was a huge uproar in the bus ( done by all of us )..The driver then stopped the vehicle and inspection was going on for some time( dipper not working, headlights gone and the worst part was that the hydraulic door in the volvo got damaged and the door had 2 b open throughout the journey, fuel leakage was checked but luckily there was no problem in this area, engine was perfect )...Then the driver told us that the actual problem in the bus will be known only after a 50-75km drive...
3:00am- till this time there were frequent stoppages and the driver was very keen on driving in 30-40km/hr range..By the way, the driver was changed...Also in the mean time people were discussing on "How everything started and what exactly happened"
4:00am- I slept and was hopping 2 reach my house ( alive..;-) )...truly speaking, i was scared that ill die in some accident.
8:30am-The bus reached AMIRPET and my driver was waiting for me..he also saw the big visible dent on the bus (;-)) and enquired about the accident...


"HOW, WHAT AND WHY"

Reason 1: A truck was coming in our lane opposite 2 us(trucks fault), so as we were traveling in the rightmost of the lane we had no other option except 2 cross lanes in spite of divider...believe it our not; this truck was HEAD ON 2 our bus...it would have literally smashed our bus....So our driver decided 2 go 2 the other lane with intentions of landing safely but still there were some other trucks coming in the other lane ( whats wrong with INDIA, night traffic that 2 in a bypass)

Reason2:Our driver got tired of driving and was planning 2 go 2 a nap taking all of us with him ( permanently..;-) ).....but i dont think it 2 b one of the possibilities...bcoz i saw the truck HEAD ON and also bcoz this fellow is driving from 15yrs...

Reason3: Its the fusion of reason1 and reason2.....this is what exactly happened (i feel)...

In all i feel the bus accident had huge possibilities of sending all of us 2 the death beds......
I really thank god for saving all our lives....it was the scariest experience ever and after this i have made one point clear in my head that i will never travel by bus ( long distance ).....and will also advice people not 2 travel coz its really dangerous....

Acquaintance:

MR.N.Manick- This gentlemen was from NAVEYLI ( lignite corporation ). I had a great chat with him, he was a technical head in the company CMC hyderabad which was associated with TCS ( tata consultancies ). I asked him a lot of questions regarding onsite and offshore business and the possibilities of a person ( fresher ) 2 go abroad with the company as a project developer. He had an experience of 6yrs in the software field and gave very concise advice about the grading of a fresher in the company and normal ethics which are very much required (2 b followed). He was gonna get engaged on 26th of this month. Thank god!!...nothing happened as its not just him, its the situation which plays a very important role in his life...Thank u 4 ur advice sir( if @ all ur reading )....

Mr. Rajesh- As i have mentioned that i was eating biriyani in a dhaba...i had a short chat with this fellow, he was a person with a MARINE background and had come 2 chennai for attending an interview...after we ate biriyani this fellow had a fag but i returned 2 the bus( good boy!! )

ohhhhhhh k......hope me and my family and my friends do not come across any more accidents in life....

SATHYABAMA- Rules

People have only heard about Sathyabama's strictness and have heard about rumors flowing from here and there.
I have just found a Copy of our RULES AND REGULATION from our yearly curriculum book(in some blog). Please have some mercy on me .... i have been following these from the past 4 years. After such an ending to my engineering i feel i m blessed to have survived.



People die younger.. because god loves them so much..
I am still on earth.. because there's a goddess here who loves me more..


And one more thing..i managed 2 find a Freshie(1st yr student) of my coll who has beautifully described the college in a song..

This is called The College of Sathyabama and it has to be sung to the tune of Hotel California by The Eagles.

On the IT Highway,
cool wind in my head,
Strange smell of the wastelands,
Rising up in the air.
Up ahead at a distance,
It was a very strange sight.
The monstrosities were the college buildings,
And they were completely in White!

There he stood in the Pandal,
Destroying English well.
And I was thinking to myself,
This is the place that they all call Hell.
And when the talking ended,
The seniors showed me the way.
I heard voices deep in their minds.
Thought I heard them say,

CHORUS:
"Welcome to the College of Sathyabama!
Such a horrible place,
Such a horrible place.
Plenty of rules in the College of Sathyabama.
Any time of year, You will be dying here!"

Johnson's mind is so twisted,
He's got a Mercedes Benz.
He's got a lot of petty petty thieves,
He calls them attendants.
And the squads do nothing,
but give you ODs that make you sweat.
They ain't the things to remember,
But they ain't the stuff to forget!

So I called the meal server,
"I want more Egg fried rice,"
And he said, "We haven't given that more than once since 1989!"
And still the students are coming from far away,
They wake me up in the middle of my nap,
Just to hear me say,

CHORUS:
"Welcome to the College of Sathyabama!
Such a horrible place,
Such a horrible place.
You will suffer with TNR in Sathyabama.
No one by your side, to hear your helpless cries!"

Ego big as the buildings,
TNR ain't so wise.
But then, he too is a prisoner here,
Just for Johnson's delights.
In the Director's chamber,
Gathered for the shrieks.
You try your best to reason with him,
BUT YOU JUST CAN"T TAME THE BEAST!!

Last thing I remembered,
I was near the Office's door.
I was trying to find the pathway back to the place I was before.
"Relax," Said Anita Madam,
"We are born to deceive!."
"You can join us any time of the year,
But You can never leave!"




I M SPELLBOUND.... amazing composition.....every word of it is true ...

These are the things which i really wanna do b4 i die.....actually the list does not end here...it will keep getting updated till i die..;-)

Now after writing all this i feel that life is so damn precious ( we don't even recognize its importance and spend it worthlessly ).

Porn is the culprit

I swear 2 god man....i always feel good while watching it but the after effects are exactly opposite.
Yesterday i was studying till 12:30pm and then suddenly there was a urge in me 2 go to google images and open some site with the required image..(images r heavenly).

I go c the image and then if i like it i zoom it and repeatedly scroll down and up 2 make sure i haven't missed a single bit of it...;-)..But what is this, it doesn't look like a 20 year old boy.Whats wrong with me man!!!...Am i sexually frustrated or something ( Hope not! ). By this i feel its high time i should go and get a girl.

Its been actually many years down the line ( me watching porno..), But still i am obsessed with it. I have also posted a lot of questions regarding masturbation and sexuality and advantages/disadvantages and many more in all sorts of forums present online ( yahoo answers, Indiatimes and also rediff to name a few).

All the time i have got a positive reply regarding what ever i thought was good for health and absolutely i c everyone answering to my thread with full enthusiasm, is it that everyone in the world is like me ( a porno freak..;-)). But i feel its wasting a lot of my time , i have also been thinking of utilizing this time in doing something constructive. For instance, i wasted around 3 hours in watching porno images yesterday but the result at the end of it were inevitably gooooooooooood and pleasing ;-). I have 2 stop this..


OH k ..with this post i feel i should improve on this particular area and b in my limits, so that it doesn't consume my precious time.

Activities 2 Stick on:

1. Never open google images.
2. When ever excited do orkuting or chatting but not Shagging..;-)
3. Have a heart, feel for those poor girls in those images( may b they r doing because of being forced)
4. Have some common sense, there is a vast life ahead of me which is gonna be full of sex and obviously love ( 2 a larger extent ), so leave it for the future or else that moment will no longer b spicy and surprising enough.
5. There are a lot of things @ this point of time which are important and which will not b possible for me 2 do after few years....so do them first and do not think about these stupid girls posing...;-0

Enough of it...now got some other work...i really feel good after writing what i really feel and hope i stick 2 all the points in the post...bye bye

Confession 2 make

Man!!!!...Today i finally realized that my habit of talking 2 myself is going way 2 far from reach, i am unable to control myself and i just cant stop pretending 2 b Successful, Rich, Happy, Talented, Brilliant, Out of the box and so on......in all i act being Perfect which is likes a thousand miles away from me.

This habit is gonna stop from this moment, Whatever i feel from now on will b on this blog and i aint joking. This is for me 2 improve and preferably laugh on myself after a few years looking at these threads. Hope the things which i write are not just dreams but dreams come true.

Chal Chal....its enough for 2day...lets meet myself 2morow.....TC.

Way 2 go...

Actually this blog is meaningless.....i was trying for different stupid names for creating a new blog.
The stupidest name won and thats none other than my own name. I am not new 2 blogging. Actually i have literally become a blog addict in just a few months.

plz do not forget 2 visit my blog:
