An Idli worth "13,031"

Posted by Lagnajit Pradhan on 4:28 AM






Hi all.........It feels good to be back again to my blog......let me start with the latest update in my life..Today i had my financial management test & it turned out to be probably the worst exam i have ever written.........Anyways i have a whole lot of other things to cry over.......As the title suggests i had an idli worth thirteen thousand thirty one in the morning..........If you are confused i will clarify your doubts in the next 10 lines......The story goes like this...........Last night i felt what you call the desperate hunger...........thought of going to kalamboli a nearby place in the bombay pune highway.....That is the only place in the vicinity where you can find food after 12 in the night..........I started the journey with only some scrap papers in my wallet on my bike........Stopped at an ATM counter & withdrew 200 rupees.......Then my bike ran out of petrol.......Imagine a slender boy like me with a muscular pulsar with no petrol in the shivering cold on a national express highway....You have to be in that position to feel what i went through........Anyways found a petrol pump finally.....Then when i finally reached kalamboli i found the hotel was closed..........The owner said that idli & only idli was available      .......I had no other options than to have that which cost me 30 rupees & my generosity compelled me to give a tip of 1 rupee....so my net cost was 31 rupees.......Then i started my return journey on my bike happily singing songs to the tunes of wind........I was also getting the back ground music from my teeth & from the horn sounds of gigantic trucks on the highway..........If you think my pain was finally over then folks that was just the beginning..........On the way my cell phone which was of rs 13000 (depreciation not taken into consideration) bounced off from my shirt pocket & fell on the road......It took 23 minutes to finally find it out on road...........but believe me had you had a look at it you would have known how a post mortem is done. battery in the place of camera.....camera somewhere in the road side jungle......But the god was kind haan........i finally could find all the parts to at least show my friends.............I took the parts in the same shirt pocket & came back to prepare for my financial management test which was another nightmare for me.............So finally that piece of idli did cost me 13031........I don't know what is happening with me..........I also met with an accident kind of a thing today in the evening...............so guys seriously wish that this bad phase of mine gets over soon.....Anyways don't want to repeat another financial management in my operations test..so ta ta & enjoy..........

A true friend

Posted by Lagnajit Pradhan on 11:21 PM
This page that i am writing about one of my friends who i consider to be a true one. Before starting this page i must admit my mistakes for not writing in a refined way as said by my friends..... i believe as time passes i will improve on it..........I thought to write about this gentleman because he really deserves to get a mention in my blog. He is  simple yet classy, common yet extra-ordinary, dull person yet a super intelligent machine, an easy going person yet a highly penetrating one....I met this person in June 2008 for the first time.. My 1st opinion was not at all different from others who met him the same day for the first time. A dumb, dull book-worm who probably did not deserve to be in a b school. He sat in a corner in our class room without anyone noticing him, had his breakfast , lunch & dinner at the college without spending a penny outside....But just like a boomerang he came out of no where on the very first presentation that he gave & became the topper. The person who i believed was not an MBA material had become the topper. Probably that was a shock for everyone but it came as a pleasant surprise for me. Then he just kept on improving & showing his talents time& again & now he is undoubtedly one of the popular students of ITM business school, Navi Mumbai.....But my intention is not about his talents......I want to describe him as a human being......That man was my very first friend here in the college.........probably because of him & only him i stopped missing my home, my old friends, my city.........he was & still is with me in every situation....He is that kind of person whom you don't need to ask for a favour...With some magic powers that he has , he would automatically know that.....A person who can give his final piece of a 10 rupee note to his friend & make his wallet weightless just to see his friend buy an ice cream with it.....A person who can toil hard to make you learn perfectly without even studying it for himself before the exam. A person, A genius famous as Mr. Sourav Bikash Borah..perhaps its not the right time to write about him as i need to log out a& start studying because i know if i don't he will be the only one to beat the hell out of me........so Bobbye readers......would be back soon......

a ghost called "LIFE STYLE MANAGEMENT"

Posted by Lagnajit Pradhan on 9:12 PM
Hi folks..hope you are having a nice & refreshing day..Well it is definitely refreshing for me as i have to refresh myself after every 30 minutes to gather the courage to go through the financial management book... I have my exam tomorrow & i did make a Herculean effort to even find the book which was in a state of hibernation for the last 3 months or so. Any ways just wanted to have a kit-kat, so took a break & I thought to write something in the mean time. As the name suggests a ghost...um hmm....its not actually a ghost.........its a monster, at least for the students of ITM business school, Navi Mumbai.. Well to tell you the truth my parents were really excited to hear that ITM was having a yoga session because generally i get up at around 12 pm.......he he.......even i was so excited as i am a sportsman & i thought it would be a great source of relaxation.......but now I am going to write the real truth that every single ITM student feels every day at 5.30 am....First you need to get up at 5.30 to do your make-up & all........i wonder if we in the boys hostel get up at 5.30..........when do the girls wake up.......probably 4 am !!! But in the yoga class.......oops////life style management class some of them look like they are still on their beds.....Hmm anyways then you need to wait for the college bus in shivering cold.......Believe me this is a mere 5 % of the pain.........Once you reach the college & enter its so called big auditorium.........hmm then the real torture starts........you can definitely feel the pain that a criminal goes through when he is treated with the 3rd degree.........some funny positions which are almost impossible to perform...........but then the best part is the "shavasan" that we are supposed to do at the end of the session.........just when i was starting to enjoy the yoga....i mean when it finally got over after two trimesters....then it did shoot its final bullet & it just tore apart ma chest..........the only course that now differentiates me as the second topper of the class from the actual topper..........Finally its over now.........I seriously sympathise with my juniors for teh next year........guys if you do find some time then comment on whether it should be there as a full time subject in a b school or not.............Anyways i have enough of kit kats .....so now its time to go & study.babyes n see ya

a book called "DIRECT FROM DELL"

Posted by Lagnajit Pradhan on 2:26 AM
As promised readers, I am back & this time to write something good. Well I am not a voracious reader & to be honest i am that kind of a reader who has an allergy at the sight of a book having more than 5 pages in it. I am a person who toils hard at the eleventh hour to at least get a grade D in the exams. so i thought why not try something new & exciting by commenting on a book. I was actually forced to read this book as it was considered for my internal marks. But while forcefully reading this book burning the mid night oil just before the presentation day i actually started enjoying it. The story is of a boy called Michael dell taking his school time hobby & turning it into a multi billion dollar industry.Then i did browse the net to get some in depth facts about MICHAEL DELL, the owner & founder of dell & the facts that i found out are astounding. 

This gentleman earned a whooping $ 2000 at the age of 12 by doing a stamp auction. I was probably doing "bistar gila" when i was 12. OK jokes apart folks he later on made $ 18000 when he was only 16 in 1980. that's roughly about $ 45000 now. I am not sure how many IIM graduates are going to be placed for that amount in this crisis period. Now i guess its enough about the founder of the company to let you know that what kind of an uncommon talent he was from his child hood.

Now lets talk about the book. This book demands hardly a couple of hours. Have my words on that because i could finish it in 3 hours. Its a good book for the MBA students who visualise entrepreneurs within them. Well if i have to give a summary then this page would go on & on. It has a hell of a collection of marketing ideas which are very relevant in this current era. which i had actually noted down but don't think its feasible to write down here, But if someone is interested to know then he or she can definitely comment & i would write those in another blog. Now i guess i will have to shut down my laptop as i feel terribly sleepy....so ta ta folks .....enjoy & i will be back soon.

an amateur writes his stuff

Posted by Lagnajit Pradhan on 11:57 PM
Here is the first ever blog that i am writing. I always believed it is anytime better to have a nice & deep nap rather than giving exercise to your fingers & eyes sitting before your laptop & all. But then i heard an internal voice to provide some intellectual stuff to the world being a student of a lucrative, dynamic, horrifying & a CONFUSING course called MBA. I call it confusing because after graduation every single individual is confused whether to go for MBA or MCA........& Then certainly a thought comes....oops no probably i should prepare for GRE & TOEFL..........Should i go for an MTECH or its enough now. Better i should pack my bags & go on a trip to goa by rediscovering the feel of dil chahta hai within me. Hmm....now i guess i must stop this crap & start writing something worthy that i am supposed to. Umm.....the world of MBAs ??? First question that comes to my mind why at all an MBA ? I am not going to comment on this because this is a topic that has lost its shine & charm even in the GDs of competitive exams as a lot has been said & discussed about. Now you can go to an alien island  in some new found land where you wont be able to find food or shelter but you will definitely find an MBA to give you "bhasans" about keansian theory, time management, public management & above all stress management. I have heard MBA as "master of bindaas activities" & ""master of bad activities". Every single MBA graduate wants him or herself to be referred as that only & the very same time they also want to be known for their classy cool corporate attitude. Now you can easily guess what i meant by saying "CONFUSING". I am really sorry readers i will have to give my fingers a break now because i have my exams going on.....& you know what.......a trimester exam of MBA....got to sign out now.......would be back very soon to write something really worthy. I promise......& I bet you will definitely visit my blog for that.
