Year End Holidays-1

There is something about Pune n my friends which puts me at complete ease . It seems here my life just flows without any hindrances the way I want it to be . before I sleep off reading this 1 year down the line ... Lemme the speak about the wonderful week , with all the booze flowing through our blood stream making us delirious with joy, sadness at different points of time .

I always believe little amount of alcohol consumed with friends in a private place goes a long way easing up your mind . Though I am not advertising alcoholism , but it effects put you at ease and you know most of the things you say would be forgotten as the new day dawns. This whole process unburdens your soul.

With a good amount of hangover we were looking forward to watching Aamir Khan n gang dishing it out in the movie theater "3 idiots" . Though based on a bestseller I thank god the scriptwriter made it more suitable for a movie and it was a job well done.

Lets c what up next on boxing day.....would like to plug a song with this writeup...which I believe every study lover like me would like to hear.

Death in the family...

I am no Amitabh Bacchan ,this guy amazes me with his dedication to write his blog everyday. Though he writes a diary in his blog , being Big B's diary makes it an interesting read . The whole Nov went by in a super slo mo with 8 papers and lot of practicals and vivas thrown in as the deserts.

Though the best part was thank I was not freaking out because of couple of parties and my now famous 25 th B'day celebrations.

The exams ended got a couple of gifts for Mou, Maa & Baba . Was looking forward meeting Mou, and things worked out and we met the day I reached kol. But in this all my thamma was a bit ill the most surprising thing was she did not want to eat nor drink , her condition was very bad from the time she came from Durgapur , but I had a feeling that her time was nearing from the time she was not able to recognize me . I was out when Maa called up saying its emergency and we need to admit thamma in the Hospital.

I picked her up in my hands and the only response was a weak grunt , and the n she was silent after that completely. I picked a living person who I thought was a vegetable ,was admitted to the hospital.Lot of things happened form that time to the time she died.

When we were taking her to the crematorium I had a strange feeling I thought though its natural its very surprising that just a couple of days ago I picked a living person and now I along with other brothers was picking up her dead body which had no response.

In the crematorium we had to apply ghee all over her body and during one of the rituals accidently a part of the burning stick fell over the body engulfing some parts with fire...while I was exhuming the fire I still could not come to terms with this natural process of life and death , I tried to pacify myself saying maybe because its my first time with a death in the family with which Iam so closely associated with right from the word go and it being my first visit to the crematorium.

The Electric chulla resembled the magoj dholai chamber in the famous movie "Hirok Rajar Deshe" . The most bewildering part of the whole process was the point when we were asked to give water on the ash , at that point of time I thought whoever the person at the end everyone turns into a heap of charcoal / fossil fuel .

I know this being the first time I am going through so many confused emotions. But I am now slowly but steadily readying myself to lose all my loved ones which I know cannot be avoided may be deffer ed . A day would come when I wont have any emotions left on hearing a death of a near and dear one just like Dadaie , who has seen so many deaths in his life and being to the Ghats innumerable times.

At the end I also know that I am not the first one nor the last one going through similar emotions.

Happier times are ahead with the Christmas/ New Year season coming up ...and I being very happy with my Personal life amen !!!

After diwali n farewell party exams strikes....

I should have been back writing way long ago .I thought of doing it every other day but never got myself worked up so much that I do it. It was a awesome trip to Jams because I did all kind of enjoyment in equal measure right from chilling out @ home celebrating bappai dada's b'day kiddo style, drinking away to glory,spending valuable time with near and dear ones.Doing dhunuchi dance exploding bombs. Then suddenly 10 days passed in a whisker and I was in pune back into the grind finishing of pending assignments.One fine day all our classmates woke up to the thought of giving our seniors a fitting farewell party before they head for their internship and placements. The party was thrown in a place called Aura which is near hard Rock Cafe in Pune. Its a wonderful place with a pool and a jaccuzzi with lighted bar , which gave me a feel of sitting in a hip sea resort some where in Goa. i just hope every thing turns out great in the coming weeks and i can go back home with peace

Diwali Rush....

Right from the start of this month everyone in our class were in the diwali mood. We are doing a mass bunk , and the strange part is we inform all the faculties that we are going to do a mass bank because of which some of the faculties conducted extra classes. Truely its funny.We rushed through a lotta asssignment which were lined up . Today I also gave the presentation on the Rs. 50 game.To tell the truth i think It was my best presentation as I was completely in flow which was not the case in my previous ppt. This week I got the certificate certifying that i took a lecture.Tommorrow It is our jorney day n It would be pretty close as we need to catch a train from Bombay sorry Mumbai @ 11:05 , so need get out of the place by 5:30 .Just keepin my fingers crossed so that things fall in place and we have a peaceful journey. Till then Happy Diwali & Kali puja.

This is what we call a happening week

I did not have much time to write the last post because of the trip I undertook with 16 of my class mates. If I consider it in conventional sense the trip was a failure , since we didnot cover all the designated tourist spots.But if someone asks me personally I was a success all the way. How can I ask for more when I had so many firsts that too in one day. Starting off never before had i sat on a the window of a car and danced ,then dancing inside the car , havin a blast on a paddle boat , horse, then mixin drinks sitting on the edge of the cliff.I should kill myself if I donot mention about the ranchogate which has been discussed a lot over the past week resulting in a small movie made on moviemaker which i presume was appreciated a lot. Then came the pujas , starting off it was not interesting since the buzz was missing . Then came the Rs. 50 game where you are given Rs.50 and 7 hours to earn as much as possible.We went to schools colleges and showrooms. The basic strategy was to tell the showroom people that we have a marketing strategy for them and in the schools and colleges we said we can take tech or managerial classes where we were aiming for the undergraduates. We walked around 11 kms in the sun and with the symbi tag hanging around the collar took a lecture on management and IT in management. Earned Rs. 500 for that , then we xeoxed auto tariff cards and sold them . Never thought selling stuff for Rs.1 is so difficult even in these days.My pujas started off in saptami with a cool chinese dinner with a couple of drinks sponsered my rumi though i had some sense of chivalry so took care of the dessert.Then went to kali bari , the next day went to congress bhavan n resebled a mini kol with the pandal being v suffocating becoz it seemed all the bongs descended in there , was an awesome sight with bong food all around , saw a lotta cracks between people of a obvious cause "A gal". Will not dwell into it because my personal griefwould pour in . Yesterday got my tickets done for diwali and then went for a boyz night out to have some hookah n a much needed adda without which my pujas would not have been complete. Rounding off things with a wholesome dinner @ Goodluck cafe.

Mahabaleshwar am coming!!!

The week started of with the fear of getting more test papers thank god it turned out to be a squib.Presentation happened went of well .Then got involved with diferent clubs present in our college in the meantime downloadin a movie every alternate day. But what holds intersrt is the impending mahabaleshwar trip tommorrow and the navi mumbai trip on wednesday.just got to know that our session has got extended so going to jamshedpur for kali puja might be possible.

A facinating melting pot

It has been 3 months Iam in pune bursuing my MBA . The most facinating thing about my experience is the people in my class, that's right my classmates.Common to all other classes people here are also are of various size and shapes who have come from all over India . So people might ask what is so facinating about this. The thing is why they are here other than the obvious adding the coveted degree is all of us had nothing else to do ..to be more precise had no other option & if it would not hae been for the reccession , Iam sure not even half the class would have been here .During our admission our college lay a lot of emphasis on experienced people which led to people with a lot of experience with them . The interactions are sometimes very good but these occassions are pretty rare .Mostly people are stuck in the same rut of scoring points against each other.We had a couple of class outings one of them was to a disc for our freshers which helped the people shed their inhibitions and the effect showed up on our next trip to Lonavala where we enjoyed a lot . The fun continues after the swine flu saga .My only wish from this execise is to take away good friends/bussiness contacts which helps me progress proffessionally and personally.

welcome back krish

its been more than a year i have written and that is what happens with me I start of a thing with a lot of enthusiasm but lose out the steam in me very quickly , hence from now on i wont make any kind of promises to myself as I can keep them. Anyways its been 3 month I have been in Pune leaving a couple of days i never regretted coming to this place . I am starting afresh on lot of counts i just hope start working out in the near future. Staying in an apartment is quite fun, ofcourse we have our share of late nights but the reasons atleast couple of them are very new. We have our very own indianised bar-b-que with which did a barbeque party as well. I attended my share of parties and boozing escapades with my buddies. I luckily get people who share the same wavelenght so venting out frustrations after downing couple of drinks is very easy. Trust me Iam doing a lot of stuff which I should have done during my enginnering stinct. i went for a trip whereas back in nagpur i never went anywhere for fun except for my amritsar escapade. Iam also pretty relieved my girlfriend Moumita is not one of those nagging kinda gals gives me lot of space. I should correct my statement she gives me much much more space than what I asked for . The pune crowd/ chicks a lotta them are pretty cool and sexy to look at. But which intelligent falls in the same trap twice .I already in one 3 years back in kolkata. The simple philosophy i would follow from now on would be to do the things i want to do whether correct or incorrect atleast i would not regret that i did not do it at all.
