Your typical weekend is spent watching highlights/re-runs of old cricket matchesYou find yourself in the gym on a Saturday night and compete for treadmill with 60 year olds.You actually start missing those days when you slogged your a$$ off for days at a stretch without weekends and worked till 2AM everydayYour google reader has no unread postsYou have posted in all your Orkut/Facebook groups in

The saying - 'Every dog has its day' has never been more apt. Investment Banking is having such a bad time that even my house maid has an opinion or two on its future. A couple of days before I had a conversation with my taxi walaDriver : Saab, aap kaam kya karte ho?Me : Stock market mein kaam karta hoonDriver : Sunaa ki bahut bure din chal rahe hain and logon ko nikala ja raha hai, fikr mat karo

I still remember the first cricket match I saw live in a stadium. I was in my first year of engineering at Anna University, when our hostel decided to watch the India vs England match at Chepauk. We went for a stupid Arnold movie ( don't remember the name) at 10 PM. Carried blankets and mosquito coils along with us to sleep outside the ticket counter. We thought we were smart, only to find there

I had tried a lot, but never managed to blog until I get bored to such an extent that I have nothing else to do. Today is one of those days. After the convocation, I'm back to Bangalore for a month before heading to Mumbai to start my career again, this time at Enam IB. Most of us hated the rigor at IIML. Staying up till odd hours, managing with 4-5 hours sleep, cases, presentations are a norm in

Came across a funny take on the Aussie cricket reporters today. I had been waiting for a while for an Indian reporter to take on the Aussie media. My wait is finally over :) - Link.

just thought I should put a new entry in my blogUpdates from my side....I finished the internship in Mumbai and back in namma Bengalooru for a week before I head back to Lucknow. Got an offer to join back the company which I'm seriously considering...I had mentioned in my previous blog about writing a follow up post about I-Banking. No enthu currently.So its been put in the back burner...I'm

I am returning to blogging after about 8-9 months. If you had read my last blog, you could have seen the enthu in me. New place, new people, full of expectations. Now after 9 months, I am doing my internship in Bombay. 3 terms are over, all those lofty ambitions of international i-banking summers and topping the batch have disappeared. New batch is going to join and these days I'm busy answering

At last my mid sems are over and so have my other committee tasks. I wanted to blog a lot but just couldn't get the time.I finally got my laptop last week.We had bought that through the Bulk deal.We have nearly saved 20k on Lenovo ThinkPad. But it had been a long wait of over a month...Life has been hectic for the past 1 month for me. Many over here wont agree with me. May be it wasn't like that

At Last here I am, inside the campus of IIM Lucknow. Though I have been here for the past one week, I somehow didn’t get time to blog. No, it wasn’t the pressure due to academics; it was just that the fachas, as the first year students are called here, were subjected to rigorous training to face the next 2 years in the campus by none other than our seniors. It was really an enjoyable experience..

The ‘common good’ of a collective – a race, a class, a state – was the claim and justification of every tyranny ever established over men.I came across this in Naren's blog today. How true this statement is in light of today's situation...Me and my brother had a heated argument over reservation today after reading Swaminomics on TOI today.Both of us did our engineering from the 'great' state of

Days are moving very slowly. I'm eagerly awaiting the day when I would be packing off to Lucknow.Life at my office is really very boring these days with Iteration 1 complete and Iteration 2 starting in the last week of may which of course I wouldn't be a part of.People are giving me less and less work and that's beginning to trouble me more as I'm left with nothing much to do. Whenever I say

Got this article through mail today.Although I have read this article many a time, every time I read this one, I enjoy a lot.After all I too belong to that Tam Brahm clanWhether you call water as 'thanni', 'jalam', 'tootham', 'theetham' or 'vellam' ; essence of the attached note will apply (in shades or in full) to each one of us if you have been copied in this note......I am not sending this to

This week started on a tense note for me and has ended up being one of the greatest of my life. I got admission offer from IIML, which honestly I didn't expect.I had got three calls from L,I and K but IIML was worst of my interviews.It was a 'Stress Interview' and as I am a chemical Engineer I was questioned on only two things---'Chemistry' and 'Chem Eng'.I don't know why people(including IIM

I had really wished that the English cricket team come in full strength so that they don't get an opportunity to put the blame on absence of key players. To an extent I do agree that the current English team is slightly weaker than the team which took on the Aussies but none of the players who are absent from the current squad could have made a big difference. None of them can play spinners well,

I am back to blogging after nearly two years.I just thought of creating a new blog when I suddenly decided to check whether my old blog was alive.And fortunately I remembered my user i.d and password.Hopefully will be blogging at full throttle from now onwards.And as Ultimate Reality had mentioned in one of his comments,hopefully I wouldnt be required to start another blog of mine with 'Back

So again I am back to my college. Had a real surprise when I got my marks. I at last managed to cross the '9'GPA barrier;then came a rude shock. Still I am in the same position in the class as I was in the previous semester.;there are 10 more guys over me!!!I tried my best but still my goal of being among the top 5 eludes me and then we had the elections and thro' a conspiracy by our opposite

Lately I have been getting forwarded mails on the topic 'be proud to be an Indian!!!'. Whenever I show these articles to my brother I somehow seem to get a detrimental remark! When I told him that we should be proud that India is next to the US in the production of engineers and researchers, he remarked that another survey report had told that only one third of them are working in the field

To tell u ppl the truth i never knew the meaning of blogging until recently. I used to see my brother and friend blog; but I was never quite interested in it. One day my brother told how the Iraqis exposed the true story in the Iraq-US war using blogging as a medium. Then I realized how powerful blogging, as a communication medium is...so here I am trying my hands at blogging. look out for my
