Mediocre but Arrogant--

12 sept 2006
I do not know why i landed in this mess of getting into the corporate jungle when i am not carved for a 9-5 job even if the sector is media. Management is an art of making fool of others or getting them to do your work as most books would say.i dont want to do it and its not my cup of tea. when i was getting into it i thought how will a creatively inclined soul like me get into managing people and making notes.........even th thought made me nostalgic, but issues regarding career and my new found love for journalism and managing media houses like pranoy and rajdeep made me believe that MBA and then specialization in media management would make me achieve my goal in life. So 12th sept 2006 was the day, 2 years i thought , let it be pranay , you know what you can do and two years would just fly and by the end of it will make you land in fox,bbc or sky at management level.


In 3 months -
M-B-A is not just about a business school, its about the process of growing up into an adult.

Even this semister , i felt an adult coming through my body , an individual with more focus and determination to succeed. I have always had the arrogance(most people would agree) that i am the best and know it all, i thought it was because have worked with the best in the art form i love and was appreciated at a very early age , but now i feel it was because i was Immature.
M-B-A i now think is a good decision , its a degree which gives you an overview of everything, it dosent make you land up in any specific direction but opens up a lot of options....also i feel i can think more creatively now, as earlier i just thought like an artist, now i think like a manager who is an artist, i have the knowladge(need so much more) to work creatively on various issues .
its also an addition which would look wonderful on my resume, Debu has drilled this into me to call it a resume, Bastard he knew it all .
bill faust told us personal promise, iv made it according to that now debu and your fundas suck.

btw i suggest you an M-B-A as well..........

PAINT ME RED

Paint me RED

Have been getting wild imaginations running lately and was thinking that why are humans just white , brown and black (different scales of it ofcource) in colour, why not blue, green , voilet, mehroon or red(my favourate).

wouldnt it be wonderfull to see people around you with a red(or any other for that matter) skin colour?

while having cofee at ccd (masjd moth)i asked this to 2 friends and after the initial phase of them thinking that i have gone mad they agreed to share thier thoughts on it ,

pranay; tell me yaar?

rupali: i think it would have been wonderfull as with different colours we could stand out. we could match our lipsticks and eyeshadows with our skin blah blah blah ....aaahahhh ...im sure i would have been brown, heheheh Vikram u like brown na....:):):)*chickles*

vikram:ur already brown duh>>.and i like white!

rupali: oh as if you are very fair.blah blah

pranay:stop it guys, acha tun bol yaar what do you think bhai?

vikram; i think it would have been bad.

*long pause* i thought he will say more but after about 1 min when he dint

rupali : and why do you say that?( very happy that her BF can think aswel)

vikram: because i think if every1 has a different skin colour the kids would have a huge problem, as in , imagine i am blue and rupali is say black ooohhh ok green what would the kids be like voilet or magenta,???

pranay; par bhai abhi when a firang has a kid with say someone of my colour its still the same for the kids,,,and does it matter????

rupali; for him it does, i know he wants.... blah blah then sob sob

pranay: oh i dint mean to guys,,ahh hm uh , chalo ill cu later yaar.. bye yaar,...


i later realised it was a question not meant for those two as their whole life revolves around each other and the small things in life, so they hardly care to think beyond it (which is fair enough),
but i honestly feel it would have been wonderfull if such a thing would have been possible as there would have been less racial discrimination and ofcource more choices!!!!!!!


cant imagine having a blue coloured GF or wife!!!!!wow that would be some fun!!!!
but me being red the kids would have been hmmmmm????????

DO YOU CARE TO THINK BEYOND THE BOX?

peace:)

Changes in Dilli

15th dec2006 4 o clock in the nite

Changes in delhi


1.best friend

"bhai aajkal sab ladkia mujhe best friend bana letin hain" Rajatvir singh chugh 14th dec 2006 on the way of a geri to gk 2 delhi.

"dost hain!!!!!" has become a fact of life lately for me and my closest friends from childhood. trust me its not ammusing anymore and im disgusted by the fact that me trying to make it so apparant has also not been helping the cause in making these stupid(i have a bad choice) girls reallize that i am not talking about thier ex's and giving them that shoulder to cry because i think they are going through a bad phase in life but because i think they should move on with a new guy who is more intelligent , smart, and ofcource caring( heeeeeyyyy; if you dont get the meaning, means u dont come to holiday club:))
the ever so irritating talks and conversations about there lovy dovy moments has been making me all the more frustrated about both my ability and tolerance level of listening to things and discussing the pros and cons of someone elses relationship with someone i mostly dont even know ( and if do, then dont really think highly of him anyways) , i have been spreading "gyan" to all these girls and they have started thinking of me as thier best friend (sometimes brother as well which is worse) without reallising my internal feelings for them(hhhhheeeeyyyy again)
the 2 days in delhi have shown me that our lives have had this radical change and we are no more the 19 ,20 year olds driving those cars in gk with loud music and going to noida( sector 15a) and gurgoan late in the nites to get to see them in thier balconies, most of those girls have left us( heeeeyyy 3rd time) and have settled down or have shifted out of delhi and this new breed hardly knows us and those who do have already been preoccupied/booked by other friends(heeeyyyy i think 4th time) ....
So no more geri's of GK and noida , no more making girl friends jump thier walls and climb down from pipes and trees of thier houses anymore.....no more of finding dark corners of delhi to park cars and no more of finding places to hide to smoke ...........

HIGH time WE grow up now..................


heeeeeyyyyy Noways .....chugh geri tomm after you come back frm work.......

2. according to papaji(sandeep a friend frm glasgow who is also from delhi) the only prominant change in delhi since we have shifted out has been the moolchand flyover.......he's loved its construction and the way the flyover goes zig zag to 3/4 directions made him go ga ga about our government and telling me(as usual) how India would become a super power in a few years and take over all these big countries, and in 100 years rule the world.....
though i know him well enough to discount whatever he said by about 90% i still made sure that i cross the flyover 1nce today just to get the feel of it and to experiance what papaji thought as an amazing feeling,,,,, but it was exactically as i thought it would be when i thouht of it while taking a left turn from south ex, -- a lame and boring drive with montu and viky and talking about the stories i was making up at those moments itself about different stuff i have been doing in glasgow.

btw- papaji i think itll take us a few more than 100 years abhi , but yes nothings better than sanjha chulah anywhere in the world i agree, we are a super power with chicken tikkas for sure...


3 bhanu gets married

Mere yaar ki shadi hain........
bhanu would be our 1st friend from school to get married on the 23rd of this month.
he came home today and looked pretty chilled out and happy ( im really happy for him aswell)

congratulations to both you and nimisha bro....god bless you both ( sorry for not coming up with any stupid talk in this one as i am really happy for them)

4. so many places ceilled
from mocha to big chill and fairyland all our important places and hangouts in life have been shut by our municipal corporation atleast till my visit(im really unwanted), as i have heard they will open up in a few days.......after a few years they finally did what they have been blabbing around for a few years now and am sure made a few thousand bucks each in the process of opening and closing of shops...............hmmmm interesting as it according to surveys in the last few months is the most wanted job for new employees wanting to join the public sector...im sure its got a lot to do with this ,

but what about sainik farm mcd????


to be continued..........................

Schumi---The living legend

A LIVING LEGEND - Micheal ( Shumi ) Shumacher

Passionate . Ruthless . Ace stratergist . Record breaker . Genius . Leader .

The top reosons why i will remember Micheal Schumacher

Schumi as popularly known was in top gear even on the day of retirement and the fact that he took the title fight to the wire in his final year, is a testament to the man's dedication and motivation to stay at the top.A Person who had become habitual of winning and often turned the game into a boring pridictable procession took his final bow last month in Brazil.

The Seven time World champion was Born on 3rd january 1969 .

He started his career like most greats do , karting.
However, Michael could not obtain a kart license in Germany because the minimum permissible age to obtain it was 14.
To get around this, he obtained a Luxemburg license that was allowed from the age of 12. In 1983, he obtained his German license and the year after he won the German Junior Kart Championship.

Seven years later, he made his Formula One debut at the Belgian Grand Prix with Jordan-Ford.

He won his first driver's championship title in 1994 and repeated the feat in 1995.

In 1996, Michael moved to Ferrari stating he had set a new challenge – that of returning the Italian giants to the pinnacle of motorsport. Prior to this arrival, Ferrari had not won the driver's title since 1979.



CONTROVERCIAL SCHMI

Schumacher was the kind of athlete who never gave up and never admitted his mistakes. His career, therefore, was heavily under the scanner from the early stages and the media and the sports' regulatory authorities took turns to criticise and censure him.
From the Australian grand prix of 1994 where his infamous collision with Briton Damon Hill for winning the tittle, to his trying to run Villeneuve off the track in europe in 1997 he was involed in a lot of controvercies.He was also involved in what is probably the biggest black day for Formula One when in Austria in 2002 Ferrari ordered Rubens Barichello, who had dominated the race from start to finish, to slow and allow Schumacher to win. He did so at the last turn.


Micheal Schumacher take a bow

But in spite of these aberrations, one would have to agree that he had the determination and absolute love and passion for the sport.
His ability to take risks and produce high - speed laps at key parts of a race are an inspiration for everyone in the sport, And while his competitors criticised him, they also know he was the best .

He is a legend and will be missed, but it was time to go and I will be among the scores of people who would in years to come boast of having seen Michael Schumacher in action. Goodbye SCHUMI .

Delhiite speaks

Delhite Speaks

Iv loved the time i have spend here, all the friends from waleed , maiz, nef, cathrione, etc etc...except a few days , the time has just flown away and i am sure ill miss it when i go back or somewhere else after my course finishes but whatever said and done , delhi is my home and there is an attachment to that place which i cant even explain....im sure everyone feels the same , but this being my blog(hehehe) i would put in my word that, there is actually nothing like home....i sometimes feel so alone here and even with everyone around and so many ppl caring for you there is something missing ....
i go back home fr 2 weeks on 12th, meet again with old friends , my family, ihc and mandi house ohh just cant wait fr tuesday!!!!!!!
there is a sense of belonging that city gives me which (for me) lacks anywhere else, after i came to stay here i realised that its just not a place i have lived for all my childhood,its a part of my identity, for life.

Moments

MOMENTS
