The Waterfall Effect

I had one really crazy experience yesterday! We went to the waterfall at Hogennekkal (Tamil Nadu), which is popularly known as 'Cine Falls'. The feeling I got when I was below the waterfall and when the water sprayed on my back was amazing!!!It was a 'natural massage' and no masseuse could match that feeling I got...

This Inspires Me

Steve Jobs once asked John Sculley: "Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water? Or, do you want a chance to change the world?"

MBA Recall

When I look back nothing has happened according to plan.My grades are nothing to write home about (infact i consider myself lucky to have reached second year safely). The person I thought was my best friend turned out be an absolute phony. Lost a job everybody expected me to bag. Made friends with the unlikeliest dudes and dudettes. Well to cut a long story short, the whole journey has been an absolute rollercoaster with amazing highs and horrible lows. I guess thats what bschool life is all about...

Movies I Saw Recently

Be Cool - Wow. Superb Movie.Ultimate Star Cast.
Hitch - Really Good. Pretty Interesting Storyline.
From Russia With Love - Average.

I’m filled with a sense of nostalgia about leaving this campus, and more importantly leaving behind this motley crowd of people behind. More specifically I’m gonna miss the camaraderie that happens when we perform mad ads, lecturer quirks such as 'absolut rot, third rate', the stolen winks of sleep, the amazing team work when 4-5 of us pull one guy’s leg, and various other things.....

What I need is a screen saver in my mind, something that will hit me in my face and wake me up after I've been straying from my pre-defined goals for say, 2 minutes.

CCIM

To say that I would miss this place would be an understatement. Over the last 2 years, I have probably learnt and enjoyed more than all of the 21 previous years put together...

Rules For Being Human

1. Your will receive a body. You may like it, or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life. Each day in this school you have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think they are irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error and experimentation. The ”failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately ”works”.

4. A lesson is repeated until learned… A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go to the next lesson. Periodically, the lesson will be re- presented to see if you still remember it.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learnt. If no lessons is being presented, it is likely that you are no longer alive.

6. ”There” is no better than ”here”. When your ”there” has become a ”here”, you will simply acquire another ”there”. That will again look better than ”here”.

7. Others are simply mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you make of them is up to you; the choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you have to do is look, listen and trust.

10. You will forget all this. That fact is itself a lesson.

Traffic Blues

Pedestrians pedestrians everywhere, and not one I can hit. Riding in Bangalore has sure as hell become difficult.

Money, Money, Money

Man, not having money sucks. If anyone wants to give a brother a 100 Rs note, I wouldn't object, but unless a couple thousand of you are reading this or a generous feeling Bill Gates, my situation will still suck. Sorry for venting, but since no one reads this anyway, I hope that no one minds...

Divine Answer

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me." In other words, LIFE is what we make it, always has been, always will be.

Mouse Trap

According to Business Tody, "Putting a lot of effort for no or little result" is called The Mickey Mouse Effect. I have experienced this, a lot of times recently ...

The Death Test

Just In Time For Easter

The Bunny Survival Test!

The CCIMies ?

The juniors had a really innovative concept of giving awards to the seniors, ala the Oscars!The awards were sarcastic and really good fun. Guess what ? I won the most photogenic senior award (thanks to a photo in which I look totally doped). Nevertheless, the creativity and 'hatke' thinking of the dynamic junior(s) has impressed me!

The Farewell Party

On Saturday we had our sendoff, hosted by the juniors which was truly memorable. We did the last mad ads of probably my entire mad ads career in the quadrangle! It was the last event that I would be a part of in college. I just look back and realise the learning curve that MBA has been for me...I am really going to miss (most of) my classmates and teachers!
