Feedback in Competition 360 Magazine

My feedback was published in the Competition 360 magazine which is published all over India for aspiring young minds.

I sent the mail to the magazine after my dissatisfaction related to the job openings section. I am grateful to them for taking care of my suggestions in the subsequent edition of May-2011.

P.S.: This baby step has boosted my spirits to finish up my 5 years old pending novel. Hope it will be published soon as well.

Here is a collage of some snaps taken in college during two different placement events. CLICK on image to ENLARGE.

This is how I decided to spend my spare time while waiting for the "not-so-punctual" company representatives and HRs.

Byju and Gaurang paid me well enough to put there pics on this blog, if you are interested in getting your pic on Korner Kafe, then contact any of the authors and bribe them accordingly...!!:P

The newly constructed seminar hall in the pic has no fans and only two micro-windows(not visible in pic); making it the most suffocated place to be in. And still the place is over-crowded. Unemployment really needs some attention.:)

Apart from this the projector is focusing on the wall itself (in fond memory of its screen).

P.S.: NO OFFENDS MEANT AGAINST ANYONE/ INSTITUTE.

6th februray 2010

Today when I was returning home this afternoon with dad,(time was about 12noon). I saw that

on the roadside, some people were gathered. Dad stopped the scooter and start guessing what had happened. Just then I saw that in the middle of the crowd there was a girl, of almost my age; lying down on the road. I saw that there was no lady around her so, I immediately got down and helped her. She was not-so-badly injured; soon 108 (ambulance) reached there and she was taken to the hospital.

She was stuck down by two boys on a bike as per told by the people around. The girl was on her scooty, two guys on a speedy bike took a cut from the wrong side, and made the girl fell down from her scooty.

The bike raced off soon after the accident happened.

Thank fully nothing much bad happened..but what if it would have.

I m here writing this blog just to appeal u all guyss n gals who drive daily. plzz..drive slow and safe..its not only for you but for other people also,who are out there on the road.

Those two guys might not have event noticed that their harsh driving almost killed someone. But just think what would have happened to her parents when they were called upon by some stranger and informed that their daughter has met with an accident.

I am not accusing some one or the other for his/her fault I am just appealing to drive safe..coz your one un-intentional mistake can cause an irrevocable loss to someone.

Stay safe and happy..[:)] keep smiling

FREE CHAI

Hey friends, seems like we have lost the right of attributing our college with the names like "kanjus", "makkhichus" etc., as they offered free chai(tea) during the event of December, 2nd.

Earlier it seemed they were serving us because they thought we were guests. But they confirmed that it was meant for students only.

In the adjoining pic my friends Girish, Anupam and Devendra are enjoying the tea but they had to take a heavy dose of "Hajmolas" as they couldn't digest this. :D

P.S.: This post is fun-based: no offends meant against anyone/institute.

My Journey In The Time Machine

In class twelfth and first year of engineering, I went through a very good habit of daily diary entry. But I lost touch with it as I moved into 2007; for those who don't know, diary entry is a very effective stress buster and works better than a pain killer or sleeping pills: according to many. (Though, I never tried any of the two:P).

This Diwali while cleaning my room I went through my diaries of 2005 and 2006. And it felt like I was living in that moment once again. Though when I was writing those pages; it was just because I had no one to share my self with so I found a friend in my diary. But while going through them once again; it felt as if Anurag Kaushik of that time was conveying some messages and lessons to the Anurag Kaushik of today. He was insisting me to stop making some mistakes which were a common part of me. At the same he was asking me to care more about people who meant something for me.

Here are some not-so-personal quotes from Anurag Kaushik of 2005 followed by the one of 2006.

2005:
# Think about options other than silly “engineering”. (Yes, I hated it even before I entered into it.):P

# “Asked Mr. ***** to control his tongue and actions, what a fattu he is, complete sitti-pitti-gum”

# “Attended the most boring B’day party of my life, who plays antakshari when you have enough space and music system handy??”

# “***** offered to dance with me, what a moment.” (I don’t remember this incident now, but its written in it.)

# “Took the bike out for first time, my first encounter with traffic police, must say I am smart enough for them”

# “Hot and humid class at PLASMA, I am leaving this place if there is another power cut.” (I didn’t leave it till it was farewell; they said you must leave now:D)

# “Have to announce schedule for Football selections tomorrow” (though I never played football in my life at school; except a few exceptions :P).

# “Clubs’ installation ceremonies are most boring place to be; why do you have to install a club every year? We don’t pay 50 rupees anyway; most of us are here for refreshments”.

# “Stood behind 3 ministers and Jaipur MP for 2 and half hours, and at the end you get no food, SPS, Airport sucks, at least for today.”

# “City looks wonderful from Nahargarh fort, what a view.”

# “****** Sir to take chemistry class; and a REAL class of me, now I am gone. He will eat me alive.”

# “Fought with the service center man, he didn’t return me my bike on time. He had to serve me first at the end.”

# “Saw a sad break up scene in front of my eyes, man…once in a lifetime scene. Sometimes I feel girls are too mean when they say good bye to their guy. They can learn to control their tongue.”

# “A drunkard slammed his car into the parking of tuition; luckily no one was there except vehicles.”

P.S.: No grudges against anyone now. I was a school going student at that time. :P

2006:
# “External came from Kota, a very good lady, I got sample no.17 Ba(NO3)2

# “Got a-kind-of-farewell from school, met all teachers while receiving admit cards. Why only my batch gets no official farewell.”

# “Vigorous revision session at PLASMA; I left it; was making me more nervous.”

# “Being an adult makes you feel like being something.”

# “Farewell at PLASMA; I am sure gonna miss this place forever.”

# “Distributed Fool’s day party cards to four.” (what a day it was):D

# “JEE-2006 at ICG; what a waste of time; wish I could bunk it like another friend of mine.” (though I didn’t do that bad:P)

# “Everything seemed to be happening for the last time, for some strange reasons.” (the more mature me)

# “What an adjustment, 13 people in an Auto-cum-tempo, I sat in the door. That too when you are passing through jungle, this place needs better transport.”

# “Shantikunj is such a peaceful place, the self help makes you feel like home, had a semi-quarrel within us but the positive energy was notable.”

# “We tried playing T&D in bus but elders stopped us when we disturbed driver while he was driving, then came to the boring antakshari; HELL; I had to turn ON the stereo; dance feels better.”

# “I today realized that I had excellent scope in photography.” (I took some really rare snaps)

# “Lunch at ‘moolchand’ on way to Delhi, couldn’t believe this place had such a sophisticated restaurant.”

# “Visited SKIT and Gyan Vihar, had to walk through the Jagatpura area; GV felt like Hogwarts.” (Biggest illusion :X)

# “Throat infection, I sound like a frog. Silence is gold for now.”

# “Well am I not good enough in making friends??, I can never get bored. When there are people around.” (Ya good in making new, bad in maintaining them.):P

# “GVSET finalized, date confirmed as August 7th ’06.”

# “If this was an officers’ party I better would not be one, they were dying for food as if there was nothing at their homes.”

# “Holiday at GVSET because of campus placement drive for seniors” (I didn’t see this day yet for our placements);)

# “Seniors stopped me at thadi, there was some strike sort of, I finally managed to run away. They took a few to University campus for show of strength”. (agru I hope you’ll never forget this day):D

# “It feels different to be an Ex-student, I felt like an alien in the place where i spent so much time. No duties, no responsibilities, come as guest and leave like one.” (After Subodh winter carnival)

# “New Year celebration with school friends; nice gathering. Some people always remain dear no matter how far time takes you from them.”

P.S.:- After flowing through the past in the time machine of diaries I am planning to start it all again from 2010.:)

Kolkata Knight Riders' Biggest Nightmare comes True

Nothing seems to be going in favour of the KKR in IPL-2009. Not that they did any good in 2008 version but this time they don't seem to be doing even that. They are currently at the bottom of the charts and are expected to remain there only in the rest of the tournament. coach Buchanan is enjoying his richly paid foreign tour after creating a controversy out of nothing by introducing the multiple captain theory. as if this wasn't enough there came a blog named "fake ipl player" whose author claimed to be an insider of the KKR camp and there he lashed out at the team management and increased the amount of public embarrassment for the SRK's team. SRK was very excited at the beginning of the tournament expecting his team to beat the others just like Australia used to do when Buchanan coached them. so excited he was that he didn't mind arguing with the cricketing legend Sunil gavaskar regarding the captaincy issue saying, "This is our team and we know how to run it". But the only match KKR won was by the mercy of the great mathematician in cricket Mr.Duckworth and Lewis. so is the intensity of the poor performance that the only way in which KKR can now earn points is that the rain must spoil the match so that one point is awarded to both the teams. The second half for this season has already started where every match is equivalent to a knock out. all the teams are doing their best, even Vijay Malya's Royal Challengers are trying their best to stay in the race. but KKR seem to be hating their theme song. i wonder if they'll ask SRK to change it, KORBO LORBO HARBO RE. 

cant say what the people of Kolkata might be thinking about their IPL team. after all its KOLKATA Knight Riders. AAMI KOLKATA WE LOSE!!

I have a few suggestions for the KKR team management:

1. They should forget about IPL and shall rather try their luck in ICL.

2. They should replace themselves with the playing eleven of the team representing Bengal in ICL

3. They should shoot a film where SRK is their coach and where they win the IPL final on the last ball of super over with SRK suggesting Mc cullum to hit a six on the last ball from the pavilion ( yeh lamba run up lekar aa raha hai yani fast ball, lekin iska pair to dheere chal raha hai yani slow, YANI YEH SPIN BALL FAENKEGA...mc cullum meri taraf dekho mc cullum...)

4. They should try their luck as cheer leaders in next season.

5. They should start a reality show to select the next year's coach (of course Indians wont be allowed)

I know there are many things where KKRs can out beat the other teams but its not CRICKET for sure..!! hope you can suggest me some more ideas,,..Do Post COMMENTS!!
