...Think...

Have no shame in being kind and gentle, but if the time comes in your life to kill for success,
kill and have no regret.
In the time of your life, L I V E — so that in this wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world,
but shall smile to the infinite delight and the mystery of life.

William Saroyan

The above words seem hard hitting....but they leave a state of mind thats worth thinking over....

Disconnected.

There are times in your life...when the best of things just go wrong...
Ask me how to mess up a perfectly natural and normal presentation...!!

Had this task of talking for 5 mins and i sucked...!
Such things never happen to me...I guess i needed this...and im glad this happened...soon enuf...

I have been feeling a bit disconnected these days...
I dunno what it is...if its something i am missing right now...or the want of something i don have...just something...disconnected (cant find any other word for it)

I remember Amey asking me the other day....

"Whats wrong dude?"
"nothing man...nothin at all....",I said.

Amey looked at me.
"You know dude...i know you from day one of college...and u were not like this when u started...You wanted to bring in people...Now....I just feel you are running away from everyone..."

I just thought at what he said....Its not that im running away....But yes...there is something missing....something is not right...I feel the need for more...

Its perfect...in a way....but not "right"!

I remembered what Soniya said yesterday...and i have been thinking about it...about what i should do...after all...Shes always right when she advices...!
:-)

Jobs ahead...

The day started today with a speech by Dr.Kiran Bedi on leadership...

There she was...this woman...talking about her life....about achievement...about humility...duty...about being a leader!

She was inspiring....to the limit that I almost had tears in my eyes when i could relate some teachings to my life...

Some things and words hit you hard sometimes....its like someone just opened up your dreams and placed it right before you for analysis!

Its amazing how good leaders inspire...they help you DREAM.....

The day ended with another speaker...Some alumni from the college....and well....he wasn't impressive at all....
Thats the difference i guess....

All people talk....but only a few INSPIRE!!!

There are always three perspectives to life....

The first is the right one...the second is the wrong one....

and the third almost always DEPENDS!

And i am not goin to talk abt any of the three....coz.....somehow....its just doesnt make any sense!!

Everything as they say....is "eventual"...and i somehow believe theres never a point in discussing whats right or wrong...

I have never understood how people form opinions....coz they change everyday...and you really have to be narrow minded to stick to just one!

Its nothing personal...its just business...

Came home from college a bit early....apparently....these days 1/2 an hr b4 regular time is early for me...

MBA is fun...and i recommend everyone doing it...its totally worth it!!

Somehow though....i don't quite get all the "pretensions" people have in an MBA college...Whats with all these ppl....????
And all that they are really interested is to just show off how cool they are in the corporate world....!!
I myself may be in this category from a third eye view...dunno...
lolz...But its a gr8 learning experience i must say....

When these people from the industry talk...its all abt MBA....and it feels gr8 to listen to them....
But somehow the term "healthy" competition seems a bit underrated...

After all....

Business just cannot be done with "healthy" competition...Can it ???

...Click...

Some people just click don't they...
I realized that its always the first meeting with a person which decides if you are gonna be friends or not....
Just one look...and you know...

What I don't understand though are these complex meetings with people...strange acquaintances...interesting situations...The gal you accidentally met at the coffee place...the guy you met in the train who was reading the same book as you...and many more...the list is long....

What i always find is that....however interesting these situations and meetings are....they always end abruptly an somewhat....INCOMPLETE..
And ironically...the people i meet through such complex situations...are probably the best people i wud love to hang around with...but that rarely happens...

Have accounted some really "complex" meetings recently...some of them really funny and interesting..Lets see where they lead to...hopefully not another abrupt end...!

Had an off today...and was really excited yesterday abt it...
Slept till 12 in the afternoon...and then realized had bloody NO plans for the rest of the day!!
lolzz...so preferred goin to college instead!! lolzz

There is a thing bothering me at the back of my mind...and i prefer to get over it...and i hope i do...soooon!!

Think ahead...Think BIG!

"Where are you going????"

Well...with luck....F O R W A R D....

~_Prasad_~: apparently....i sometimes feel....thers a lot more to do in life mann...and a hell lot of things u will never do!!

Sanjai: woh to hain....

~_Prasad_~: like....i dunno...like...SURFING!!! mann...i wud like to try that some time!!

lolzz

....and i havnt even learnt swimming yet...!!

Sanjai: no big deal....if its written ...up ther ...ur wife might teach u ...think about all the fun involved

~_Prasad_~: LOLzzzzzzzzzz

Now thats a really good way to look at it!

:)

Being Homer...

Doing virtually nothing these days at home...waiting for college to start...
My daily schedule for at least another week will be...

Sleep....net....sleep....read....TV....sleep....Net....and then more sleep.....!!!! (LOLzz)

I have been trying to understand this whole process of doing whats RIGHT....or rather...doing whats supposed to be right...
And this "right" thing goes something like this....

People with bad scores at entrances...will enter into better and best colleges...its a cake walk...coz...apparently....you dont need a score for a seat at a management institute...all you need is MONEY...or...better still...you need to be "reserved"(No point explaining this!)....

So these ppl...who have "rightly" got seats in top institutes will pass out in 2 yrs...and most of them will land with packages close to 7-10 lakhs....
That sounds soo right...just about perfect.....

Now lets talk about the "wrong" people...people with bad scores have no choice...they can stay in hell for the rest of their lives.....
The "wrong" people who have got descent scores (I come in this category!) and cant pay money (yeahh...a "small" amount like 8-20 lakhs cant be shelled out by these ppl under this category....how pathetic rite??) have to settle for whichever college they get.....they might even get placed after passing out...but they will have to settle for a package of 3-4 lakhs...and no chance of getting a desired profile at job...

So basically....The wrong people have to compromise on their packages of 7-10 lakhs for the right people...just because they dint have money in the first place!!!
yeah.....thats soooo LOGICAL!!!!
Obviously.....if we "wrong" people are so worried abt bad packages...we should waste one more year and score more right!!!!
Why should the poor "right" people suffer because of us????

LOLzzzzzzz

Ohh yess....and not to mention....these right people will sit on your head after passing out and tell you...."This college is not worth doing MBA from...."

btw...watched the Simpsons Movie recently....its simply amazing!!! Must watch if you are a simpsons fan...
:-)

What else.....well...Have you ever felt the urge to avoid someone...not because you are angry...not because you are mad with the person in question...and all the other natural possibilities for you to avoid speaking to a person...Its just that feeling of not wanting to open the already closed doors...hardly explainable..

...Gone...

Last day at Godrej arrives...
now a new beginning...into a new life...strange things happen...some hard to explain...some which have explanations...but better not be talked about...
