A Friday.

Friday was pretty much hectic. 7th sem ends. the classes. Morning to evening the schedule was jam packed. Pracs, vivas, admit card, photocopies, frnds, maggi at mech....

Gawd! am nearly begging time to stop. I dont want the college to end. ever. And its sheer desperation as i feel the days pass. Ive always felt that i dwell on my past and many a times i dont like it. But thinking bout the time of my life that i had in college... somewhere inside its just blues and butterflies... and i just want to go back... and i wouldnt regret it...

See! i dwell on my past... start talking random...

So coming back to the beautiful memorable Friday, as i walked back from college to hostel all weary and exhausted i recalled that today, the last day of sem, the second years were hosting the Freshers night. And there was this second year that i know walking back home.

He says hellos and i ask him, "why are you going back?... aaj to freshers hai, arent second years supposed to be there?"

and he replied with his sunny smile... "Sir! kuch ahchaa nahi ho rha... havan hoga... aap lekin attend jaruur karna... aapka last hai!"

Hell! that hurt somewhere. "My last freshers". I never counted that one coming...

.............

I still remember my freshers nite... That was like the best thing that had ever happened, back then... The Drama... the Solo song... Refreshments... Mech canteen's photo session... And the JAM...

Sounds trivial, yet everything seems so fresh and special...

.........

And there i was sitting in the audience... observing... May be trying to find myself in the crowd... and and... i did find myself... a lot of "myself's"... in many of the first years... in their jokes, in their careless postures, in their smiles... in their lack of that "experience"... which they would have in the four years to come. And they would experience it all... i hope they all do.... just like i did... amen!

P.S. Missed out on a lot of things that i could have written about... the trip, the dinner treat, the pup, the JAM, the alice in the wonderland, drag me to hell-Full metal jacket... but i guess somethings are better preserved in heart. Thats where they are supposed to belong. Not on stupid blogs. :)

on why i should be in dunn... lol..

I would love to join Dunnhumby for 3 reasons.

I have spent my entire childhood travelling and living in various parts of India, in towns big and small and have a firsthand experience of living in varied socio-economic milieu that enrich India. I have also completed my entire schooling in government schools in various parts of India and it further inculcated in me a sense of appreciation and understanding of different cultures and how diversity adds up to make things beautiful and complete. Now from what i gather from Dunnhumby’s presentation today and its website is that it’s a company primarily driven by a focus towards customers, and in other words to understand customers. Thus, when i, as someone who has some understanding of various cultures and differences, say that i like and i understand what Dunnhumby does, i know it’s about knowing and understanding people.

The second reason is the idea of working with a multinational-multicultural organization with vastly talented people. Dunnhumby as an organization puts genius in delivering the best to its customers. And to deliver genius one has to have genius which in Dunnhumby are the people working for it. Joining a company with such a talent pool & global exposure would benefit me personally and professionally.

Thirdly, for me working for Dunnhumby would be a long term career decision coherent with my career objective. I want to make a career out of something that i like doing. I have a passion for knowing people and my schooling and college have inculcated in me analytical skills essential for the job at Dunnhumby. Thus Dunnhumby for me is a logical choice.

nothin

sometimes life just sucks.

everyday you wake up... naah! this ones mine...

someday's I wake up thinkin nothing.. yeah well! nothing.. i just wake and dont think anything. and go about doing my chores. flowing with the flow. trying to please everybody and then getting screwed sometimes, in fact a lot of times.

then there are days when i wake up thinking am some sort of a crazy maniac army thing... with all discipline and honor and dignity and all the stupid blah that i think is inside me and try to do something good for myself... like fill up an army entrance form or may be complete my lab file myself rather than doing the usual copy paste routine. and then i find myself screwed in ways even more complicated.

and then there are days when am like completely down and feel i should not exist. and then it doesn even need a mention that i end up sleeping all day.

some days do turn out normal. i wake up and do usual stuff and then i keep doing usual stuff. yeah hav some fun... but thats just limited to spending time with frnds or in that dark room...

but thats that. life feels dull.

and then a night like tonight... i feel am tired of all the usual stuff that i keep waking up with... like thinking nothing or thinking am hero or may be thinking am looser... why cant i just wake up and and and... and wake up in new york with in a big mansion and chauffers and a billion dollar company to run and millions in my bank balance and may be a few beauties by my side???

ive heard that though infinitesimal there does exist a possibility that someone just wakes up in another place or planet in a passing second... some Einstein theory i donno much bout... it does say that... why doesn it happen with me???

P.S. am sleepy, i guess.. :P

loneliest day of my life

before even you start reading it lemme just tell you that what follows is plain cribbing...

ok! if you dont wanna read it.. doesn matter... you don have any reasons to read some stupid cribbing in a stupid reject's blog...

*****

it just keeps ringing in my head... how?

nearly answered every other question in the interview... spoke with confidence... gd round was kinda good... cleared the written...

In fact it was i who was thinking throughout the day that an interview can never so easy and so "clear-able"...

it just keeps ringing in my head... why? how can they reject me?

donno... may be am just jinxed or not at all talented in any sense...

in classes in viva's in practical... why is it just me being singled out???

looking at the list of people... the kind of ppl... who could get through, while i could not... i could only bow my head in shame... shame at my own plight.. my inefficacy...

am just plain useless... :'(

am really sad. its the loneliest day of my life... :'(

I cheat, I steal and I lie : the not guilty perspective

I do. And I accept it as is. I can see it while I do it. And ignore it while I reflect upon the same. And may be that’s what makes me human. I've indulged in these ever since I can recall. I do it on a day to day basis and I don’t see myself quitting in any foreseeable near future.

I stole an ice-cream today from the canteen along with the ones I paid for. It’s despicable an act, considering the fact that am educated and have means enough to buy one of those every other day . I feel guilty in a strange way today. Not cause I stole an ice-cream. Its cause I stole "only one" ice-cream. Must have cleared the whole store.

I lied when I said I did not have a pen-drive when I had one, when an acquaintance of mine asked me for it.

I cheat myself on a daily basis when I say I will be a better man. No stealing- no lying-no cheating. That’s not me. I thrive on it.

Am I bad enough. No I don’t see it. I see people equally corrupt if not more. Cheating... stealing and lying...

Discussing on the same table social issues plaguing the most destitute of our country, where millions live in penury and without food we spend our "100 buck - baldies" eating useless junk. Vituperating against the same system we are part of without doing anything to correct it, we have lost all morality to say anything. Each one of us indulges in it.

But that’s how it is. That’s how things work. Am just being odd enough to be shamelessly open while doing it and admitting. Am just idiot enough to do it to please people. Am just myopic enough in stealing "one", while I could have devised some way to clear the whole everything. I was not selfish enough today. That’s where my fault lies. Improvement . Am crude in my practice. I must be polished enough not get noticed. I must be remorseless enough not to feel the guilt. And fake enough to castigate any and everybody under the sun who cheats, steals or lies.

I cheat. I steal and I lie. And I WILL LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT.
