Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met. After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was, of course, perfect. One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple was driving their perfect car (a Grand Caravan) along a winding road, when they noticed someone at the side of the road in distress.

Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help. There stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys. Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas, the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle. Soon they were driving along delivering toys. Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated and the perfect couple and Santa Claus had an accident. Only one of them survived the accident.

The mind numbing question is: Who was the survivor?
Scroll down for the answer...

















The perfect woman survived. She's the only one who really existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus and there is no such thing as a perfect man. Women stop reading here. That is the end of the joke. Men keep'a scrollin'...
























So, if there is no perfect man and no Santa Claus, the perfect woman must have been driving.
And that explains why there was a car accident. By the way, if you're a woman and you're reading this, this
illustrates another point: Women never listen, either.

I read about this somewhere; perhaps someone’s blog. The article says recession plunders men but enlivens women. The author draws a high-quality comparison between the two genders with some statistical data.

In this period of recession the sales of one ‘basic need’ of men has come down. I am talking about gents undergarments. The sales graph has revealed a downhill trend as men are less keen to buy new undergarments. The frequency has also reduced.

But ironically if you consider the sales of cosmetics, it is showing a mounting trend. No doubt cosmetics are neither an add-on nor luxury requirement for the female counterpart. It’s a basic need for them.

So you can definitely expect men with no underwear queuing up outside a cosmetics shop to buy a lipstick for their wives on their anniversaries. 

People = Shit. They truly are beyond doubt. They always are so very fanatical in finding out the mistakes of others that they tend to overlook their own ones. But there is a different breed of people who with intent neglect their slipups so that they can show their superiority over others. Many people have ideas on how others should change; few people have ideas on how they should change. Now this is a thing that everyone experiences time & again in their lifetime. I am no different either. I know I could be at the receiving end on someone else’s blog but I am taking full advantage of my own blog to roar ma voice out. Some points that I must make a note of.

1. Start giving respect to others. I mean I do understand that you are rated higher than others but you tend to disregard the fact that your rating has been given by them only. You have no shit control over your supremacy & the status that you enjoy but ironically they have the authority to make your journey a delightful one or a thorny one. You have to give them their due respect in order to get respect in return.

2. Cgpa & all such things hardly matter. So if you have a high cgpa to make your resume attractive try to take advantage of that in interviews but don’t try to show off before other students. Just because you have got a higher cgpa it does not necessarily imply that your intellect level is extreme. Some might argue that it is the frustration of someone having a lower cgpa. Just for information, let me tell you I have got a cgpa of more than 3.2 & I can give you hundreds of names having very low cgpa capable of reaching to the very top in a short span of time.

3. Now let’s analyze the other side of it. If you have a low cgpa, then try to lend your ears to others having a higher score. They have got a higher score as they have some skills that you probably don’t have.

4. Now let’s talk about a very special breed of people who are termed as “professional & matured” having some work experience in some company. I mentioned some company as I don’t give a damn to the company’s “brand” name. I mean being the owner of a fisheries farm is anytime better than being the sales executive of some Reliance or Tata. Now for them I have a word of advice. People having no experience of company’s affairs & having the age advantage factor at their end are competing with you at the same level. Now what should a healthy “professional & matured” person infer from this? It means they are definitely better than you.

5. Hey I almost forgot a very special kind that we call “chatu” types. Now let’s take an instance. A person, who does not have a good cgpa, has not represented the college in any respect, is not an active participant in the college activities, is well known by all the faculties. Now what does this mean? I agree you have good HR skills, but don’t you think it’s a reflection of low self confidence. I mean if you are so very capable then let the faculties know you instead of you putting in a valiant effort to make them know you.

Final words! Wake up! Give it a thought! You would excel lot more if you get rid of this. Till then let me also try to ignore all these things. Ta ta…..

Hey folks. It is great to be back here to my blog. Well last day was a breathtaking day. College got over around 3 PM this Monday. It was raining cats & dogs in New Bombay then & I had already got a word of warning from my parents back home that it was going to pour down even more heavily. So the evil mind started planning a ride on bike & Lonavla came out as the most happening place to go for a high-speed ride. Obviously Mr. Manish Jain & Mr. Puneet Mehta were up to it. We clued-up Sanjay to be ready. I had only one bike & we needed another one. I am truly thankful to Abhishek for giving his bike to us without giving a second thought. Anyhow we started our journey from KV but guess what we had to stay back in Kharghar for quite a few hours as Abhishek’s bike broke down.  Finally with a lot of effort & after spending half a thousand Indian rupees we started our journey to the heaven on two bikes. It was utterly gloomy by then & downpour had become even more intense. Believe me I would not have trusted anyone else than Sanjay to ride along with me. The ride was enormous & the ride on the GHATS near lonavla was adventurous. But the deadliest voyage was yet to come. There came an off beam prediction from our two mumbaikar navigators, just a wrong turn & we found ourselves among the gigantic massive  trucks on the expressway. We were the only ones travelling on bikes on that boulevard & believe me it was a hell of a ride. I could just not make up my mind whether to go right or left. Finally we arrived at lonavla & had to stay in a lodge thanks to our sudden plan & cash constraint. The manner in which the receptionist entered our details in his register was damn hilarious. I would not discuss about the night. That’s top secret. Hey by the way we also watched the Champions trophy final that night in the room. Then the next day we checked out by 10.30. We then went to the Lion’s point & the Bushy dam. Both are staggering places to visit , I can assure you all of that. We packed our bags & got on our bikes for the return journey which took us almost half of the time that we took during the up journey. It is an experience that I would definitely cherish for ever & I am looking forward to more such trips. By the way both bikes now seriously need a servicing. Ha ha ha.

I was just going through the official website of Orissa TV where this news grabbed my attention. This took me to my campaigning days in my graduation college, but believe me candidates during that time were never so numb to execute this kind of an act which is utter rubbish.

An overpowered presidential candidate of my college (BJB (A) College) in Bhubaneswar tried to set himself ablaze during the oath taking ceremony of the triumphant presidential candidate this Thursday. This strikes a chord of me regarding my election agenda wherein I constantly emphasized on making the voting process peaceful unlike the parliamentary elections that we generally have. I kept roaring in all my speeches & interviews addressing the fellow students to show their class as the members of the best college of the state. I don’t want to comment on his course of action as I seriously criticize the state police for being a mere puppet in the hands of politicians & top bureaucrats, corrupt politics for getting themselves involved in student body selection & the candidate himself for his insensitive mind & good for nothing brain.

I want to share my experience. Every single guy in the state wants to study in this premier institute at least for some time. I consider myself really lucky that I spent the most important phase of my student’s life (5 years after schooling) in this college. Now let me talk about my campaign.

My Strengths (Top 5)


· Being the LAST ENTRANT, initially I grabbed less attention of the politicians so that I could compete independently having full freedom.


· Being the ONLY CANDIDATE REPRESENTING SCIENCE BLOCK, the whole science fraternity was in full support. I found some real dedicated friends & supporters.


· My DEBATING SKILLS came as an aid while giving speeches which was the biggest differentiating factor. While other candidates focused on giving leaflets, notes & handouts, I focused on giving oral presentations which attracted a chunk of students.


· I used DIFFERENT STRATEGIES for different breeds of students. For instance, I used to give speeches in English in the science block, in hindi in the commerce block (majority of the students were hindi speaking ) & in oriya in the Arts block. I used different banners for three different blocks concentrating on issues that appealed to them.


· I tried to find out the OPINION LEADERS & briefed them my agenda before moving on to their peer groups.

My Weaknesses (Top 5)


· MONEY was always a concern for me as I did not represent any political party. I had to keep track of every penny that I used in the process so that I could have my desired amount for the last phase which generally demanded more spending.


· Being a Science student my NAME WAS NOT VERY KNOWN in the arts society which had thrice the number of students to that of Science.


· CONSTANT POLITICAL THREATENING pressurized my supporters & they always had this thing back of their minds during campaigning.


· I had my CAT EXAM just after the elections which restrained me from going in for a full fledged process which my competitors used to have.


· Being a NON-HOSTELLER, it was always difficult to collect votes from the three hostels

The moments that I would cherish for ever (Top 3)


· Being APPLAUDED & APPRECIATED by the students of 1st year each time I interacted with them gave me great pleasure & confidence to march ahead.


· Getting all the ATTENTION OF STUDENTS (god, I can’t forget the girls…J). Getting the SUPPORT FROM FACULTIES was never expected & came as a bolt from the blue.


· My COMPETITIOR ASKING ME TO WRITE A SPEECH for him which he would just learn & reproduce in front of the students as the students directly questioned him for not projecting his ideas like LAGNAJIT. (Ha ha ha)

The moments that I don’t want to recollect (Top 3)


· Being FORCED TO SLAP a supporter of my competitor as I always wanted to complete my process in a peaceful manner. But that was the need of the hour which I could not avoid.


· Being ABUSED by my girl friend for not giving her enough time before my fellow contestant (she never knew that he was my competitor) & he using that thing as one of his election stunts (how cheap)


· I, being CALLED UP BY A LOCAL POLITICIAN asking me to withdraw my name from the elections. He even went on to the extent of involving my family members in it.

Hey one and all. It’s been such a long time since I posted something. Last month was an eventful month for me. First my classes were cancelled for a week in view of the unfortunate condition in Mumbai due to “Swine Flu”. It came as a bolt from the blue as I could again visit my home sweet home. I came back after a week & guess what, again had to go back to my home town for a parallel motive (malaria) but this time I was a victim to the virus. To quote one of my dear friend “Why all the mosquitoes of Kharghar are attracted to you?” I had to miss all my final projects & presentations which further added to my dismal condition in the 4th term which is going to be reflected in my mark sheet.
After coming back to Kharghar, I got the Dean’s award for featuring on the topper’s list which was probably a god given incentive to prepare well for the exams but then I have a different philosophy which is tried & tested innumerable times. Whenever I toil hard before the exams I never get what I deserve & when I just overlook the syllabus I get even more than what I can think of. Anyhow, now I am busy writing my end term papers.
Well, just love to say this time & again, I am again leaving for my home on 14th Oct on the eve of Diwali though I would dearly miss my father this time as he is supposed to be in Australia during that time for some training. Nevertheless I am still very much keyed up to be there during Diwali. After staying in a hostel for a more than a year, now I do realize the importance of staying with your own family & sharing every minute particular of your life.
Hey, I almost forgot the thing that I intended to write before starting this post. One more weird incident adding to the list of events of my action-packed month. Finance students of my college bunked their examination today as last year’s question paper was repeated. Oh God! Give me a break guys. You bunked the exam because you felt those questions did not match your intellect level. I mean, as if all you guys would score 100% in that paper. In that case you should have appeared & justified your points by getting that. Guys. Don’t you realize only a handful of guys wanted that for whatever reasons but you spoiled a day of yours & all your efforts that you put in the previous day went in vain? You need to prepare for the paper all over again. I sincerely appreciate the 7 or 8 students who wrote the exam. Guys, hats off to you. At least you are the master of your own brain. Thank god, we don’t have those intellectual, sincere, talented motivators in Marketing. One more reason to roar “Marketing Batch Rocks”.
Hey I should not to get into all these things & concentrate on my SCM paper. I will be back soon. Till then you guys take care & have fun.

I wanted to post this one long ago. But chaotic days in college barred me from writing & posting this one. Well, ITM Business School, Navi Mumbai has always been celebrated for its marketing trade. It is mostly because of the renowned marketing faculties that it has. One of the latest additions to that eminent list is “Mr. Green TZ”. I am still to know his name & I would like to call him as “Mr. Green TZ” because the very first time I saw him in the class, he was in a dark green round neck American teen ager kind of t shirt stretching almost up to his knees. He had a bracelet surrounding his LEFT wrist. I wonder how many chewing gums he had but he kept on chewing them throughout the class. When he entered the class the first thing that he did was to keep his mobile phone & a pack of MARLBORO cigarette on the table much to the attention of the smoking community of the class. Had I seen him somewhere else, I would have taken as a “wanna be” who says “I love my India, But I Love America even more.” I don’t know why he gave me a united appearance of Carlito & John Cena (WWE). But later on after getting to know his achievements, I was just so taken aback. Imagine a person, having this kind of an appearance, talking in the most casual manner possible, has been a BRAND MANAGER in companies like Hindustan Unilever & AC Nielson. He is an MBA from K.J. Somaiya institute of management, Mumbai & also has some parallel degree from Harvard Institute. You know when exactly I came to know that he is an MBA. It was when he put in the picture a word not once but twice. He finally said the favorite word of all our faculties: “VALUE”. When he said something else apart from studies he was a fun to watch & when he explained the basic marketing concepts, he talked only sense. That was a class of a lifetime, I would say. He came as a breather also bearing in mind the person whom he replaced (ha ha). Well this is not my final verdict though. These industry top guns have a knack of making an electrifying impression first time. I will have to analyze him once more to give my ultimate decree. Till that you guys enjoy some of his statements of that day.
• Tum log ROZ daaru nahin peete ???
• Tum main se kaun kaun DESI pita hai ???
• You all will land up in a SHITY organization.
• You must ask questions to your PROFS. (He actually meant Professors)
• Main koi GYAN nahin de raha.
• There is no PILOT, SILOT or PLANE study.
• Desi pilo for some days to buy a book of Porter.
• Fuc*** shit a** (I don’t remember which context did he use this one in, but he did it twice or thrice.)
• Tum logon ne daaru nahin piya, padhai nahin kiya, ladki nahin patai KYA KIYA HAI TUMNE AAJ TAK.

The ULTIMATE 1 - Ye tumhare KOTLER wotler jitne budhhe hain na saare mere TEACHERS reh chuke hain.


Take care Guys. I would be back soon.

Hey all.

I was just flipping through the pages of “MINT” on 6th August when I came across this article. Thanks to my finance faculty I had to run here & there madly in the college just to collect a newspaper. Finally I got it from a guy studying operations. I wonder what the finance guys are up to. ; ). Obviously I did not read the business article that I was supposed to in the class but this article captured my attention. The title was “Here’s a pop quiz: What does KUTGW mean?” by Stephanie Raposo. The article mainly focuses on some of the code words & short words that we generally use as the shorthand texts. There is no point in summarizing the whole article. So I am just giving some of the shorthand terms with their meanings which I found interesting. Have a look guys. This is damn appealing.

IWSN I Want Sex Now
UG2BK You Got To Be Kidding
PAW Parents Are Watching
99 Parents Are No Longer Watching
BIL Boss Is Listening
GNOC Get Naked On Camera
LMIRL Let’s Meet In Real Life

This is a very interesting list. So if you get some time do CIL (Check It Later) the article once. I just want to say IAL (I Am Tired). So HAND (Have A Nice Day) & give me a ^5 (High Five).

Well I am yet to watch the movie but my peers have already started eulogizing. This makes me write this one & hopefully I would be able to watch it this week. You see one more reason to scream loudly “MBA SUCKS”. Well it’s a great combo actually as I have been a great fan of Imtiaz Ali since his “Socha Na Tha” days. Apart from his skills as a director in romantic movies I like another fact also that he is an alumnus of my college. Saif has always been one of my favorites & Deepika being the daughter of a sportsperson is appreciated by me. So let’s see if I can take some time out & watch the movie.
Talking about my love aaj kal, I am going to put in plain words about the first real affair that I had & the current one ; ).

Love Kal – I guess I was in class 9th then. Till 8th I had studied in different co-ed schools. It was a thing that I had never really become conscious of. I mean why would have I? But suddenly landing up in a boys’ only school was a completely different experience all together. All of a sudden I started realizing the importance of having girls in a class. I mean girls are so sweet when they are your friends. They keep you updated about the happenings in the class. They put in writing lecture notes all 365 days & all you have to do is to give her a chocolate & she would give her complete notes. I remember a girl in my school who used to photocopy the notes herself & give that to me. Oh I miss those friends of mine; not because I used to exploit them ( ; ) ) but they were real sweethearts. Ok coming back to the topic, when I was spending a chunk of my time with boys, the two hours tuition class in the evenings was a breather. There were 4 girls I suppose & believe me all were pure, delicate damsels. Obviously their curves were more interesting than the boring geometrical curves that we used to learn in that tuition. Well there was this girl who kind of liked me for some silly reasons. I still wonder how she could like me. But as it is very rightly said pretty girls do not have brains, she was no different either. Anyways I got to know about all this but just like a “shaant, sushil, innocent” boy I did not pay any attention to it though I had started noticing her. Then one day all of a sudden she asked for my book & within a few minutes gave it back. I was not in a frame of mind then to flip through the pages. So I took it back & came back home. I did that at night & to my utter delight she had given me a long (really long) love letter in it. Oh man!!! I was left flabbergasted. I read that letter six to seven times that night. She was coming with her father & I was coming on bike (a CD-100 SS of my Uncle) before that. That day I collected the courage from nowhere & asked her father not to come & pick her up after the classes. I said I could do that as I was also going in that direction. He was not very sure but ultimately had to nod his head because even his daughter wanted the same. Aah!!! It was a dream coming true for me. I mean giving a lift to a girl those days was nothing less than an achievement. We started sitting together in the tuition. We went to nearby places holding hands in hands. We talked for hours through the voice call facility of yahoo messenger (neither of us had a cell phone then). That was LIFE for me. I will have to cut it short now as I can just go on & on writing about this. To give you the latest update I am still in contact with her. We are no longer into that relationship but we are still good friends. She is also doing her MBA. Who knows, with a bit of luck our paths would cross someday again.
Love Aaj – I have already written so much about her. So all you guys. Better give your eyes a break & wait for my new post.
Have a good life. Take very good care & remember one thing
TRY TO GROW IN LOVE RATHER THAN WAITING FOR THE SAME LOVE TO GROW IN SOMEONE ELSE’S HEART.

That’s the score line I ended the day with. It was a series of tournaments which was totally dominated by my team where we won 9 tournaments of 5 matches each & my opponent team could do that only once.

FLASHBACK – The series was at par with both the team winning 4 tournaments each, but their team was definitely stronger on paper. The 4 tournaments that they had won were with pure class & supremacy. The 4 that we managed to do were not influential at all. We just managed to do that.

D – DAY – It was a pretty boring day as I got up in the afternoon not attending any of my lectures. So I was pretty fresh to start with. I had a delicious WADA PAO as my breakfast & lunch & warmed up for the tough series ahead.

LAUNCH - When I was playing for the state in the 2004-05 season, I had one problem which is still bothering me. For the first 20 odd deliveries of my innings I am exposed to throw my wicket away. Even my coaches tried a lot those days but it was out of their control also. I still remember how many extra jugging rounds I had to do because of this. I had that in mind. But you know what I again got out for a golden duck in the first match. Other players could not do much & we lost the first match.

THE TURN AROUND – The very second match we fought back & we fought back hard. We won it convincingly & went on to win the next two matches also to win the tournament 3-1.

MY SWEARING IN – It was the fifth match of the series of tournaments where they scored the highest score ever. All were jubilant & already in a mood of celebrations. I took charge & went to bat first. I chased down the herculean score single handedly & rest of my team had to applaud sitting in the pavilion only.

TEAM MATES – Sanjay & Naveen also had a great series of tournaments. The main thing was no one really outshined the other. It was a collective team effort that made us the winners.

FINAL SCORE –

1st Tournament – 3 – 1
2nd Tournament – 3 – 0
3rd Tournament – 3 – 1
4th Tournament – 3 – 1
5th Tournament – 3 – 0
6th Tournament – 3 – 0
7th Tournament – 3 – 1
8th Tournament – 3 – 1
9th Tournament – 2 – 3
10th Tournament – 3 – 0


Total Matches - 37
Matches Won - 29
Matches Lost - 08
Winning Percentage - 78.37
