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!

It's just two weeks

Difficult to believe but yeah it's just two weeks since we have our classes and feeling like it's been ages...Committee selection,master CV and not to talk of class assignments,presentations..The end and start of a new day seems totally bizarre to all of us.Today,we had FRA quiz and I know what happened :)
With whole lots of stuffs sticking to our schedule,i can very well say the mba is all about time sqeezing in and out.Hope I master it asap.

Subjects I will be dealing with

Got 11 books.We are having 5 subjects:Financial Report and Accounting(FRA),Quantitative Analysis For Management(QAM),Organizations Behaviour(OB/BIO),Manageral Economics(ME) and Communications For Management(CFM).
Few classes gone.I guess I am able to relate(and lots of scope) more to practical world if I compare with my Engineering studies.
FRA known as the baap of all.Lets see whats in store for me.Still I must say 'Electrical Machines' is the benchmark but yeah time will tell.
I want to write a lot but I am getting tired so logging off now.Promise to be more regular.

IIML:Admission,my Happy Birthday and end of induction(unofficialwala)

Well,its going to be one of my memorable day.Today is my happy birthday.Today my admission day at IIML.And alls well that ends well.Yep end of induction(unofficial and finally the hoax got revealed).
But the path to end isn't that easy...Means we had quiz yea we had..on??? On fin,mkt,org behaviour....And how did it go???Its a bad question..somethings are better left unsaid :)

IIML:Induction Day 3

I am tired and tired,actually super tired...Nothing new today but yeah going to be end of formal induction session..About the informal part,well have patience,time will tell.
Got some topic in the evening and had to give presentation on that..We worked submitted and reached the venue...Got to know there that few of the ppts content have been changed and were screwed.Ours also got screwed in spite of the content not being changed.So no choice see......Assignments,presentations,deadlines have started becoming part of life....And sleep getting away.Very sad indeed.....

IIML:Induction Day 2

Day began the same time as yesterday but yeah with one correction that day isn't going to be over soon.Went for the session (not with same freshness..what can you expect from a sleep deprived person).Sessions were pretty good.One was based on communication and then had pretty much exposure to case based study.Morning,afternoon,semi evening got over.The other part of the evening begins...
Part II begins wherein we were divided into groups and performed skits..Got some topic from Mahabharata ...We tried to be funny but were screwed ultimately...
Just praying that all these get over pretty pretty soon.....
I am off to sleep...zzzzzzzzzz

IIML:Induction Day1

Today we were officially welcomed by the IIM family.Day began very early.Yeah it was indeed very difficult to get up but thinking that its just till 6 or so in the evening(which proved to be wrong) happily got up.
To begin with, we were welcomed by Chairman PGP which was followed by pledge.Then came one of the best part of the induction module.Got to interact with the IIML alumni head who is JPMC global business head(came from london for this induction module...God this is what makes iim an iim..no doubt about this) and got to know things from an alumni perspective.It was followed by alumni talks and interaction with different departments of the institute. Till 7 pm,I must say it was quite an enriching exprience and then yeah the real induction part begins.
This is how it goes........
9:30 is the deadline wherein we need to be in our respective classrooms.Well not 9:30 it is 9:29:59(got a new definition after coming here).Got dressed up in business formals,formal (polished)shoes.Reached classroom.Till 2 am I guess,we had introduction session only.We were given assignments for which deadline was just couple of hours.I was trying to figure out what is going on actually.We were told that those who won't be attending will be seggregated into different sections and won't be allowed to take part in committees.Well,I just told myself enjoy the show...keep on doing the tasks.And then on way back to hostel got to know we have hostel induction too...uffffffffff how many induction man???this is what i thought..wasn't what had happened till now not enough??? But sometimes we have fewer choices.So...so...so follow what has been told dear......Had introduction session and got assignments there too...Guess what assignments?? Gather information from each hostel the problems which they are facing which should be ten in number...Well yeah no choice.
And the night/day ends/begins....Took around 2-3 hours sleep thinking about upcoming days schedule.Felt part to be of hel(L).

Just Lazying Around

The campus is a calm and beautiful place : dotted by lush green trees, buildings having characteristic window designs,Umang(place for rejuvenation),good hostels, and not to talk of wide range of creatures hereby creating the perfect ecosystem (Already blessed to have an encounter with a snake and a monkey :-)).
With ten days gone by, and not much workload ,it is providing me the perfect ambience to just laze around.I am writing here from the library surrounded by the red brick walls,huge volume of books stacked in innumerable cupboards so full of gyaan,muffled sound of the laptops,occasional footsteps of students: I am feeling great to sit here .Apart from that it is bringing respite to the terrible heat outside(thanks to the air conditioners!) ,I would love to spend time here…
But I know this peaceful period is not going to last long,have to fasten the belt within a day or two and set out for a fast pace journey.

All Set for a New Journey

If I look back the past one year I have seen lots of ups and downs.Finally I have landed into IIML. Must say, a dream come true!!!

After working for almost two years,I hope I will be able to appreciate this rigorous course in a much better way.My past time embraces reading,writing,listening to music.I would like to travel far and wide.Hope in this upcoming two years in IIML better known as heLL, I would give my best and push myself to new limits.

I expect myself to be regular in blogging.I would be writing here pretty much on everything that relates me as a B School student.Welcome to the Road!

Violence Of Exclusion

Read an article related to the recent spate of activities in Bombay rather Mumbai,trying to kill its flavour of being Mumbai : http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?264137.Our so called Pluralistic,Secular and yeah the World's Largest Democracy is suffering and is getting threatened.Is it?Yes..The famed cosmopolitan character of Mumbai, a mix of pluralistic, diverse, accommodative and inclusive strands is undergoing test and is supposed to answer the dilemmas undergone by none other than Aam Admi . And we aam admi is seeking answer to this question: Who am i? An Indian first or a marathi/punjabi/bengali/naga/tamilian first? What is my identity?

No doubt states are being carved out based on linguistic principle but the borders and contours being created holds no value for us who just don't care and don't give a damn to these lines..I think it would be wrong to say that a state have only one language.I believe its the only country where language changes within a range of few kilometres.We have so many differences that it is very easy to rip apart everything and strange but true, we are glued together inspite of all differences.We are like different branches of the same tree.Directions may be different but our core is the same....Needless to say, we are just one.

I am assamese..I belong to the lush green,beautiful state of Assam..but i am an Indian first and then Assamese and not the other way round.But the developments in the recent past in maharashtra by the shiv seniks is humungously disgusting and painful.They have not spared anyone :taxi drivers,actors,young genre politicians.It pretty much can be attributed as 'Violence Of Exclusion'.If we ride on a taxi,what we are concerned about?To reach the destination safely and timely right?Do we care if he knows marathi or be it any other local language of the place?

No we don't ...we don't care at all.

After witnessing the ongoing episodes one thing is pretty clear: we dont give those dirty and fickle minded politicians whose only motive is to lure votes by any means and win election, a damn! Twitter,facebook,blogs and not to mention the live debates and discussions on television are the best proofs. And i hope senas should have learned leason by now after loosing support of marathi manoos(clear reflection of the recent election mandate) and the nation as a whole .Last but not the least even their old friends who seems to have shared similar ideologies too have abandoned.But I don't pity you...
