CRUCIFICATION is the the name of the game ....
I just figured out as to why extremism and hooliganism in India is on a high , especially among the youth . it's probably due to the fact that certain higher authorities flout the powers they have and dont think about the consequences the common people will suffer . It happens everywhere from the indian goverment with politicians,underworld dons and now for the past few years in education.
we've seen so many cases of injustice where the actual ciminal who commits the crime is seen washing his hands off the crime , after just doling out a few notes, while an innocent person is convicted and is made to suffer hardships . we see the same in our movies too , which has taken the role of providing tutorship to future law-brakers as a distance learning program would and has almost trivialised the question of justice .
when a student is not given a fair hearing and he see's injustice meted out to him in the most barbaric way , due to which his career has been ruined , he is helpless and takes solace in becoming an antisocial element , targeting the whole community at large , as he very well knows that he cant do anything with the perpetrators of his anguish. so he starts looting , for his sustenance and takes to drugs/alccohol to temporarily shift his focus from his problem(that's what the people who get drunk always say) . with that they develop a state of mind that runs away from solving a problem , to merely get a respite via forms of hallucinations by taking to drugs.
more so addressing the specific problem of such unfortunate students, we find that they mentally break down and are not able to face life , with a chin held high , as the Indian society tends to shun them away, for no faults of theirs ......and soon such students become a wreck and their lives are ruined ....all because of a few idiotic,corrupt,senseless,venal beaurocrats/academecians who take decisions as it suits them ....
Well if u r wondering why the heck have i turned a human rights activist !!!!!!!! , well thats because I have been at the receiving end of such injustice at college , where supposedly I have been suspended for MISBEHAVING WITH A GIRL ( I still cant stop laughing at the way they've framed charges without even asking or enquiring me . Well knowing the kind of college where I study , where the term DISCIPLINE is mistakenly used as a effective tool like the POTA to suspend students,fail them in their labs ,spoil their conduct certs.................upto infinity , I guess there's every reason for me to feel scared.
supposedly the girl wanted to gain some mileage by doing this and the management were helpless in this regard as she seemed to be intent on making a mountain out of a molehill( or more so in this case out of nothing at all ) , and just to appease the girl , they went to the limits of publishing my poster all around the colege , saying I was suspended for MISBE..............................(same old stuff) .
the objective of sending u ppl this write up , is not to gain any sympathy or project my college in poor light ( I dont need to do that-their actions justify it :-) ) , but mainly to just tell u ppl that there will be a tumultous phase in every one's life , where one is tested to one's limits and beyond , by some idiotic higher authority and that's when u feel helpless . It is in such situations u show ur fortitude to get through the problem , without fighting the tide , but going along with it , and waiting for the period to end , as there is little one can do to fight it.
This is like the case of a bruise on the skin where after bleeding the blot clots .just bcoz the clot looks bad , if we try to fight it and peel , there will only be more bloodshed and the wound never heals . Instead we shoul leave it to nature, which would cure the bruise , but would leave the stigma of a scar behind. The scar is like a certificate , which certifies that ,u have gone thru a bad phase, coming out a wiser person and u have left the worst behind you , only for the dawn of a better phase in life .

generally I am not an ardent devotee of any particular god , but circumstances have come in life where I , within my mind have started praying for so many things to happen for me , as these are places where effort matters only upto 20 % and luck takes precedence over the rest 80% .
these small things can literally make or mar my life , so here i am clinging on to faith to make things go smoothly , at least to a 75 % level of what i want .....................
These are literally small trivial things , but it's just that i dont want to publicise it , just for the fear that the process might be thwarted by the evil forces of the internet..
so any wellwishers visiting my blog , please pray that I succeed in my small mission .
if u wanna know what it's all about , well u can get to know about it in a period of 2 weeks ,--- these 2 weeks literally i am gonna live life in the fast lane ...........
I know the post seems to vague , but it's my state ofmind at this point and u will find relevance once i post the reason a couple of weeks later.
till then tata..................
adios amigo

so long .......
it's been auite a while since i posted messages . I attribute it to the laziness and helplessness faced by me with an immobile hand and a terribly ravaged stomach .
I happened to attend yesterdays ET quiz here in Chennai , which was excellent , just a pity I couldnt actually watch it till the end , as i had to shuttle back in time for my classes at adyar.
but the good news is that college for we final years is closed for abt 10 days , beginning today and reopening on 29th of december....
nuthin much 2 blog abt , as loneliness is killing me at home . i gotta go and eat at a new venue ( the bathroom ) as one never knows when the next bout of vomitting is slated to present itself in it's fullest fury ......................

G R A F F I T I C O R N E R ..... ANYBODY!!!!!!!!!
the growing fad these days , in college and among my friends is that my sling or the plaster
of paris wounded round my hand has seemingly become the graffiti corner for many to scribble down their signatures or put up "get well soon" and "keep it up" messages . well now that the plaster is full of blue ink , i guess i must pen down my "autograph" on it , before the sling fades into oblivion ( or more precisely chennai's kooum ( thats where one's dustbin in chennai is disposed -a-la stored ) )
initially it was irritating , but now i've got used to it !!!!!!!
yesterday was the inaugural mock XAT at TIME which went of pretty much fine . i need to fine tune myself to the XAT FREQUENCY mode of preparation, which is a little different from the rest of the exams . for me it's more like india playing on home soil ...... so gotta prepare my spinning trio of quants ,verbal and gk to extract maximum on jan the4th . but for now i've to prepare and revise the basics for IRMA and symbiosis , the double header on sunday...

PUUTTHUUR ?
Apparently an alternative solution to the use of scientific method of XRAYS and POP)PLASTER OF PARIS ) is called [PUTTHUR CUT] a rather crude way of joining the bones where they break the already broken bone to a predetermined level and do some action on the part of the broken bone and lo- it cures in a week (unlike the POP where it takes 4-5 weeks ) , but the flip side to it is , the fact that it is damn painful .......
anyways got2 know abt this crude method after the bike accident from ppl in college and in an around my place ...
just waiting to break free from the clutches of this sling .............. as i have 2 think twicw before doing anything that involves the hand ...........

It's certainly been a long time since I blogged , all due to some spirited last minute revision tests for the CAT exam which unfortunately (or rather fortunately ....?) got cancelled . Soon after the exam i decided to go for a movie with my friend , but on the way I met with an accident on my bike and the end result .............my chin was cut and a wrist fracture on my left hand .
Life currently is damn frustating as with one hand so manythings look dificult to do .... like ranging from flipping thru the pages of a book while eating , switching channels while eating and of course locking the door. the hand aches every now and then when i try to move it . so as of now i am in quite a sombre mood .
well , dats all for now , gotta go and take a shower ( 2 days since i had one !!- due to the plaster of paris/sling etc and the dressing on my chin) .

Life is like walking on a tight rope as for now as I have just got the news that all the B school entrance tests are going to be unified. So that is some cause for worry.
19 days to go , or 19*24 hrs to go and decide my fate . I have now started to enjoy this as I realize that the difference between doing excellent and bad , is all in the mind. last nights 4 hour session on geometry by Raghunath sir , just elucidated that.
regular practice and exam oriented shortcuts are just the need of the hour .
The next 10 15 days are the ideal test of my managerial skills , as I have the task of walking on a tight rope seeing the goal of reaching a destination called the CAT which is some distance away ,shrouded by clouds and in between that are the other B schools , but since a thick cloud cover or haze of doubtis there I cant see it .
My bag on my back are my university end semester exams and the final sem project , and the resources available are 24 hrs in a day , with the only villain being sleep , which seems to be the only factor that can stop me in my tracks ..
well for all that fundu imagination .............. pls just a visulisation .......... I havent gone mad ...............

As each day passes and the deadline of nov 23 passes ,my heart skips a guilty beat . Hey it's not that I am so bad w.r.t to the CAT , but the funda of being bad at both college as well as CAT is the fear that lurks inside me. My MOCK CAT rankings have offlate been going down .
Well , all i can say is that I may be down , but not yet knocked out by the parchment paper funda .(scroll down to the astro post to understand what I mean )

Hmmm ,....I had been to sify today for writing a test for recruitment for the post of ENGINEER trainee. Donno how they got my name amongst their big database. anyways the test was just simple mathematics , but the only problem was they were recruiting for that post , to be joining woork a few days from now. I seemed to be the only guy , in final year, as all others were freshers with a resume in hand.
In a way I am glad I didnt get selected (donno yet no call has come till now) , bcoz they have scheduled the HR interview and the tech interview tommorow and I cant afford to while away my time as my UNIV exams are approaching this saturday for which I am yet to properly start.

well 15 days have gone by and I yet have to start with my univ exam portions . I these says am drowned in either sleeping or listening to music or doing something related to my MBA entrance preparation. I have a written test coming up in SIFY this monday for recruitment. donno how the paper is going to be ? anyways Just hoping that these people ask me questions that I am familiar with and not grill me with unknown technical jargon !!!
well I happened to finally get my CAT hall ticket and the exam is scheduled at rajarajeshwari engg college (a horrible college ) , which is very far from my home .
looks like I gotta tag up with some body to go there.

Astro funda's daily keep dropping in by mail , and also in the newspapers and mags , but these sunsigns are rather for the week or for that particular day. Just imagine if u had the story of ur life told in an abstract manner right in front of u , and u had to hear something that didnt seem pleasant . then those unpleasant thoughts wud poke one'self for the rest of his life.
It was some time back in my 12th when my parents went to the astro guy in kanchipuram over some job prospects /career move , inwhich by matter of sheer coincidence my horoscope was revealed to me . It said I wud struggle with education unless I worked hard at it . and after that day till now , that kinda still haunts , but i've grown a mature guy in, not beliving these astro lifetime predictions .
i belive that whatever happens in one's life is solely due to his or her actions and unmindful of that they put the blame on stars and sun signs . I have grown to belive that I will fight against my sun signs and prove them wrong .
some astro guy said I might do an MS in USA ., but here I am , strongly trying to refute that by persuing my field of interest "management' . what happens in two months time regarding what I am going to end up is soleley in my hands and not the roadside astro guys or the horoscope chart.
This infact is one of those factors that charges me up that I have the oppurtunity to change my destiny and simply not follow , what is laid out on a parchment paper miles away at kanchipuram.
This article has been stongly inspired by my friend KISHORE'S astro post . looks interesting , but I was probably in the same state of mind as he currently is when i entered college . I certainly am not against what he thinks , but wud prefer If he actually spoke with himself and asked himself where he wud fit in life , rather than relying on astro (urf nadi josiyam)
So if anything plesant on the astro menu comes up on a platter take it by all means , but incase something turns sour , My word aof advice is ask ur heart where it wants to go and try and fight against nature to see thru ur goals , and if still dosent happens then , just sit back and watch life unfold , with the parchment paper in hand !!!!!

bad health
for the past 4 days , my only companion has been my bed and the bathroom , bcoz I fell sick with a host of problems. Onmonday my stomach grumbled and it started paining and continued till tuesday. meanwhile common cold decided to give me a visit and along with it for this festive season ,it decided to bring along it's relatives "fever"and "headache".
now the "stomach ache" after celebrating an early diwali in my stomach , bade my farewell yesterday , but the other troika seems determined to feed on my resources.
So just waiting for an oppurtunity to drive out these unwelcome guests at home . trying my level best with proffesional agent 001 "CROCIN" and 002"PARACETAMOL"
till I get well , it's me saying bye :-)

It feels so good to be in a relaxed mood. This kind of a calm that has descended is probably due to te fact that college is over as far as this sem is concerned and I am fully free to devote time to my MBA entrance preparations, which incidentally got a major facelift on friday , when our faculty showed a few shortcut techniques in maths.
Whatever he said , regarding the fact that shortcuts are a result of tons of hours of repeated practice is so much true . I've started quants in earnest , hope to reach full steam in the days to come .
The best way to enjoy something is to fall in love with it , and for sure I seem to have fallen in love with the format of the CAT . lets hope it rubs off in me getting a seat in one of the most coveted B schools .

MY DEBUT AT COOKING
yesterday afternoon my parents went out , visting all our relations and it was a kind of mini family get together . I couldnt go coz my classes were there in the evening and since I had already taken a hiatus of abt 5 days for my lab exams , i didnt want to miss any more classes .
My parents called on told me that they wud becoming in late , so I had to fend for myself as far as food was concerned . I had no clue abt what I was going to do . called up a couple of friends and enquired abt recipies and one interesting combination suggested was "apples with chaat masala " , seemed mouth -watering but since all the shops were closed at 9 pm ,i had to do with whatever was left at home.
I had seen my mother making bread toast before , so I switched on the gas And the amateur that I am , I put it in high flame mode and started toasting the bread slices.
Initially the slices took abt 30 secs to toast , but since the heat increased , I didnt notice that and the next slice became as hard as wood , with a highly blackish tinge .
I had toasted abt 5 slices and was smearing chocolate jam on it , just when i noticed that the bread slices were getting toasted in just 10 seconds unlike the previous ones
As i took out the over toasted bread and kept it aside , too much of smoke had emanated in the kitchen , as i was too liberal with the oil and in the next few seconds I felt as I was in an imaginary heaven , with the kitchen filled with smoke thru out . It took some time to drive the smoke out !!!!
so there ended a comical day at the kitchen with 6 slices of over heated bread , being my dinner .

HURRAH!!! the labs are all over and this time it went off well . the only lab where I gelt a little uneasy was our mini proj lab , for which luckily the external didnt turn up , as our project on "design of database" was likely to be scrapped bcoz 8 other grps in our colege selected the same project and the External a couple of days back had rejected 2 projects in database because it all had the same concepts.
It was our on HOD who was the examiner and this guy started questioning us in a cynical matter , by just repeatedly asking the same question " IN WHAT WAY IS UR PROJ DIFFERENT" . for that Achut,arun,kishore and myself had to do a mini "ad-zap " where we projected our database proj as the best and why it scored over the others. it sounded like a bitter battle to defame the other grps who did the same proj , but hey , we had to to this coz , other wise we wud have been rejected .
so we had a nice experience in advertising and marketing , before we actually embark upon to pursue a management degree !!!!!

It's quite some time since I logged on to bloggers's coz my comp's giving me problems . I am just waiting for my univ labs to get over , so that I can copy the data on my system to a CD and then format the whole damn system which is replete with viruses from A to Z ............
My labs start on monday and go uptil wednesday . so i guess my next post will contain titbits from the lab .

well life's really cool , lying on the bed at home around 9 am when my head tends to droop if I was normally at college . I get to sleep more peacefully at home . no lecturer can disturb my slumber and ask me questions..
I am my own master till the 17th after which the real grind starts . My labs ,records and other college related stuffs are still to be finished . More than that since I bunked the test on Monday , I'l have to write it 10 times before entering class. That means i miss my attendance for whole of thursday (damn !!!!!!!)
I just hope I am able to cook up some reason for my attendance which is around 65 now, coz my univ exams are in jeopardy incase i dont have 75 .
jus praying Providence to help me out with this !!!

ENLIGHTENMENT IN ANGREZI
Well , just 3 days er......... 72 hrs remain between this very moment and my GRE exam . Jut got into the groove of rembering all those words.. I seem to be applying a management approach to it rather than an enginering approach. If i see one word in the book , I look for synonyms and antonyms , in my ENCARTA and thus by seeing one word I find 10 related ones. Efficiency is increased 10 times or by 1000% , but it is offset by the onerous task of rembering them , so the effiency funda goes haywire .....................
anyway , hoping that by wednesday , I am able to do justice to my GRE exam and join the leaugue of my fellow GRE takers like kishore,nirenjan and achut

HIMALAYAN BLUNDER
It really pains when one pays 6500 rs to sleep during the TOEFL exam . I just did that , as I found some of the passages on the Listening section a little too boring and dry , so i decided to concentrate a little harder by closing my eyes and litening to the audio with rapt attention, but alas !!! as i shut my eyes , i dozed of for about 45 seconds and I missed out on the audio and the questions . This miserable feeling carried over to a couple of questions and that was enough to spoil my day .
I ended up with a net of 200-257 which wasnt bad , but it sure ain't a reflection of my true potential . looks like I have to forget it as a bad dream and get on with the next exam the GRE on wednesday .Till then ......................................................................................it's tata to blogging
