Wise Saying

Ten thousand flowers in the spring, the moon in autumn,a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.

Back from Hiatus!

Procrastinating & Procrastinating. But lots of thoughts getting accumulated & also flowing in. Thus, better to pour in somewhere. It’s been a long time since I wrote.I should better start writing on a regular basis. Feeling good honestly.

So here goes my update.Completed my MBA or you can say PGDM this year. Convocation was on 17th March 2012.And somehow managed to appear in the merit list of Civil Services Examination. Result was declared on 4th May 2012.
So things are turning out to be different from what I thought of or at the time of joining my institute for MBA. Should get some direction soon. This ship is traversing from Engineering to Coding to Management to Administrative job (hopefully). Let’s see where does she go and how far she goes. 
What do I take up in writing: Stories Fictional or about me or current happenings. Lets give a thought on it for sometime.

New Year New Term

I didnt write last term a single blog.Its the onset of a new year and a new term.
Hope not to be too ambitious because of which I have screwed up lots many things,I am expecting few changes in mine.
If I look back last term,quite eventful it was.Summers process will be quite memorable which I screwed up initially and the fabulous mid term which i gave with almost zero preparation.Am not able to read a single book after I came here.So my reading as well as writing habit need to be exercised and with regularity.
Hoping for a new year wherein i could do away with my screwed up stuffs!

Dream???--A two way view!

A fictional/non-fictional Short Story which is to be continued.Couldn't think the entire length especially of the climax.
Trying to write from a guy's point of view (for the first time).Hope I do get comments from guys :)
This is how it goes...
Once upon a time in Heathrow Airport:
Oh God! Where is my bag? I donot want to loose it for the third time.Is that she?Naah I am having an illusion…(Leaning again) She is actually and I guess I am not hallucinating..Oh My gosh ten years and she looks the same in fact much prettier.Where is her husband? Of course she is not flying alone in heathrow airport..actually of course is not required here..Anyways she must be having two or three kids by now(depends on her family planning though..sheh@#$@#$# ).Has she seen me??I don’t want to be…I don’t want to pretend..I don’t have the courage to face her.But why? Why am I afraid? My inner guilt..huh! what guilt?My ego? Nope man how come ego comes into picture.Then why don’t I say at least hi to her?Then what will happen?Might be her husband feel bad,her kids feel bad.Might be I don’t want to bring back our past in front of us.Am I concerned for her? Why didn’t I feel a decade ago?
“Excuse me sir,may I help you?”,”Excuse me?”Oh yeah I am sorry I just you know..just..well actually I am not able to find my bag.”We will definitely help you out sir..just for confirmation your flight to Bangalore is after two hours right,the next flight to india sir?”Where the hell she is?She ..oh yeah sorry gentleman..you are correct!These are the details..And I am sitting here.Thank You!There she is…She is still wearing her kajal.How it used to sharpen her eyes on her rich,fair skin?And I used to...Memories buddy memories it wont leave you and especially like these.I just can’t stop thinking about you and you are just few metres away from me.Its my fault only.But hey is she alone? Where is her husband?She is travelling from London to Bangalore.Heard she got into IIMX then she got some job in i-bank.And then I don’t know I didn’t followed.In fact I tried to but couldn’t succeed.What happened to her? How do I fill in the blanks?I am getting curious..I must stand up and go to her and will just ask whereabouts.What say?”Sir,your bag sir!”Oh yeah thank you gentleman! This is my most favourite.Here is your tip!”Thank you sir!”…(I stood up)..Hey there is one gentleman with her.He is holding her hand.He looks of my age..Very very hmm actually very handsome..(The whole world crushed upon me)..
She looked at me with a sarcastic smile and she told with her razor sharped eyes this is what I deserve!!!
Trrrrrrrringgggggggg……What the hell is this?Whats the time?Oh God I am late for my flight to bangalore!Go Get up fast…Then it was a dream,haan?What happened then? What was the climax?
To be continued……

Diary revisited!

Circa 2010, A girl is writing from Room No.427 of a prestigious B School in the month of August.
The whole idea of a new beginning stems from the very fact that I was seeking for a new direction,new path and a new journey to experience upon.If past keeps reflecting on rear view mirror with no sign of turning its back,then it is definitely going to hit soon.Past may not be colourful past may not be brilliant but a sudden kick prompted a flash of burning genius to pop out of its soul resulting it to reveal or discover its caliber and hence the present state.But the starting co-ordinate seems to have been backed by its negative counterparts.
What I referring to is few things which I have been reflecting upon past few days.Though the proceedings for summer process have been started off a month back.But these days its been on full swing be it resume building:meeting mentors,implementing comments;attending gyaan sessions,running for proofs,learning power packed words and what not.These things have definitely got its own place and importance but what about my knowledge part:I am feeling knowledge starved.
Key Questions:Why do I need to have fin,mar or be any gyaan beforehand? What if I don’t have?Actually I don’t have..Then how do I fill in my cv?How do I stand apart from rest of the junta?What do I do differently?How do I do it? Perhaps I know the clichéd answer and is increasingly difficult to absorb.Competition is good but keep it healthy.There is so much fight for everything.I want to grow as a learned person post twenty months of probably the last phase of educational tenure.I do want to learn but give me some time please to allow me to spent some time with myself.
In a nutshell,give a chance irrespective of anybody’d past/background.Getting placed is but not the only thing to be here.The reason is beyond these things.I wont term these as petty they do hold its slot of importance but got more reason to be here other than that!

Circa 2022,A Young Dynamic CEO viewing the above post sitting in her glass cubicle in Phuket of a successful firm in the month of April.
It is good to think.Thinking make ourselves the person we are and ought to be.Equally important is asking the right type of questions at right time and right place.Probably I did 12 years back.And so I could find myself here.Doing things of my own.My mind resting in peace.Exploring and learning everyday in every bit of time.This is what my vocabulary of achievement stands for!

No time for nothing

Old habits die hard.I always have the habit of evaluating myself at the end of the day.Now practicing the same habit :the outcome has awestrucked me.Yes,thinking of my productivity and output.And guess what?? Rating is far far below expectation.My time table and routine has gone haywire.Because of?? Well loads of work in terms of assignments,projects,group meetings(most unfruitful of all),cv and last but not the least fb'iing.

When I look back these past three weeks,I have realised I have No Time For Nothing.Yes,I don't have time to read newspaper.I don't have time to talk properly to my ma,dad,bro,friends..huh!I am not watching movies.I am not able to study.My quizzes are not going good.I am not reading anything extra.Not able to go to library for exploring books(apart from regular and most frequent unfruitfulgroup meetings).Not able to Blog.Not getting proper sleep.

So did you analysed what am I doing and why so dismal outcome?After much analysing I could figure out few things.And unfortunately those factors can be done away with but to smaller extent.So,moral of the story I have to find and make out time for the do's which are in don'ts state currently(para above).Things will stay the way they are.And I have to be the reason and make out way for change.Be the change you want to be(borrowed one but good :) )......

Inception(Movie) : An Intellectually Stimulating Experience

I am short of vocabulary to praise this mind twister movie 'Inception'.I was wondering and thinking plethora of things after watching this masterpiece. Storyline ,narration,direction are all flawless and superb but what was intriguing me most how it actually engaged the viewers to stay involved,think and undergo an experience similar to the characters.
Inception deals with the concept of placing a thought in a person's head with several levels of redirection. The planting of the idea must not be explicit but should appear as if the idea formed as a result of the person's experiences. These experiences happen in a dream. The plot is so complicated and goes to and extends to several layers.How the writer can think of the idea,bring forth and make a masterpiece is something I am pondering over.Hats off for such creative,intellectual stimulating work!
