Day 0

Its crazy. Absolutely crazy!!

A day in a B-Schooler's life which crosses lines of sanity.

No support, no resistance. Its like our darn sensex. [ I am fishing for compliments from Fin enthusiasts..Hello..]

Back today after a whirlwind of a day and I am dead tired. But not enough not to write a few lines.

Lots of No,lots of yeses,
Big hearty smiles,some long faces,

Being measured for a fit,up close,
Twisted,turned,asking you to pose.

You do it,do it all,with hope tucked in,
Inside you,fidgeting,barely held by a pin.

End of day,all is wrapped,done,
Behold O suitor,for tomorrow will come.

Solitude!!!Dude...

That dude was just to make something absolutely boring sound interesting....So now you do realize that I am taking my courses on marketing very seriously...
This is for a friend whom you I call upon rarely these days. So many things happening,so many people around that one tends to lose the sense of self.
I do hope I regain the sense soon.

On a brighter note...my friends is sending my Kindle!!!
SORI!!! Thnx dude...
Remember how Calvin felt when he got his Propeller Beeni cap?
Hmmm...Look on your face say you don't.
Check it out,look how happy I am and then go on to read some serious stuff... :)

Me and my solitude,in a crowded place
Unable to talk,negotiate,face to face.


It just shouts,complains,You don't have time,
I am all but a filler,when things just arnt fine.


Unable to refute,I smile,in my regale,
Busy,in this market,making another big sale.


But today,I return,to that earmarked page,
Coziness of my home,inviting this guest again,in this cage...

Time out!

While working there was this intranet space where I used to blog.
One of the most prolific blogger there used to have this doodle/picture
based poetry competition. Used to really look forward to Friday coz of that.
Yes,only for that,otherwise I was so immersed in work that days really
didn't matter,I am not your regular TGIF guy [And I so saw you smirking ] :P

This is the pic I saw, and this goes out to that group of friends who
still put up with me...

Time Out!!!

Would be great if you guys left couple of lines on the pic..


Always switched on,Boolean one,
Always hassled,occupied,on the run,

Ticking,ever so ever,unable to stop,
Race was against self,slave to a clock,

Looking for happiness,everywhere but within,
But isn't it difficult,introspection under your skin?

Was until met a friend,through a lucky route,
We looked,understood,sighed,relaxed,as dude said...TIME OUT!!

Long wait for another short race...

Okay, not the best of days...first results in b-school and well that data did not go as per projections.....It was way off..way way off...Mr. Kalmadi would be so proud of me...Mom & Dad...not so...
Any which way, its long since I saw my name figuring that low in the list...and its not the best of feeling...

Going by tradition, I intend to devote 4 lines to this first result here at IIFT.
Of course I made it sound way too big...a life altering event types...But nothing that a little patience and a chocolate bar could not make up for :)

Standing, in that corner,seen,but a little hidden,
The race over,shouts there,but here quiet space,
Old name on the trophy,a little dull,now stricken,
I run to join shouts,perturbed,desperate for next race...

Words...Again??

This is probably 3rd or 4th post on Words... May be I am obsessed or a firm believer in the power of words.

But I do think we tend to take them granted a lot of times... Words should make one sit up, think, even feel good...for they are too easy to use for hurting anyone...

If words could heal,
Go a little deep,make us feel,

Help us a little more,
To make sense of world,why is it sore?

Reach,where no one else could,
Answer them all,the little whys,the big would.

Too much to ask?Words,too lame?
Not strong enough?To crack that icy silent pane?

I Blame Delhi!

Again!! It’s a combination of a desperate attempt to reach 100 on the blog space and my futile attempts
to read Organizational Behavior.

But it’s not like this one is an absolutely arbitrary soup of words.

Hmmm….Soup…

Jhurani. Concentrate.

I know title is overtly sensational. But with the traffic this page generates.
You guys leave me with no choice but to resort to India TV way of reporting (Nothing But Truth!! ) :P

But seriously, Delhi is to be blamed for ruining my career.

Why??

It’s cold out here.
And those of you know me…don’t start.

Dude, you are from Jaipur. It must be darn cold there. This should be like normal for you.

a)I was cold there in Jaipur too. Just that I was too proud to accept. Common, that nonchalance of
  me being super cool/unaffected by cold is ehhh…kewl.
  Frankly speaking, even a dude from Alaska would be freezing here in Delhi.
  Just that bugger would be too proud to say “Yes…I am cold”.

b)I am not a winter baby. The only way I am a winter baby is when I am under a blanket made up
  of 2-3 quintals of cotton. And my mother is not pulling it away.

c)My immunity sucks. My nose has been behaving like an Alien since November. Only something
  disgusting has to come every time it is messed around with. Okay, don’t leave the page,
  not like I touched your computer monitor or something. Jeez…what a wuss!

d)I am not exactly a “Jaipur cold loving person”. The reason I was able to survive
  Chennai/Bangalore/Hyderabad was because these places were like COLD FREE!!
  And after 8 years of living in normal temperature zones…Delhi is a pain.


So essentially my nose is not going to get any better, immunity is not gonna get strong no matter
how much Chawanprash my dear mother stuffs down my throat
[ To all the makers , why can’t you just put in some effort in changing the way it looks…Yikes!]
Nor am I going to get up in time for any of the classes, quizzes and presentations that are scheduled before 1 PM.
Ergo no grades, no CV short listing, no career.
[This has absolutely nothing to do with my lack of efforts or wasting time, not planning well, not working hard etc….Mind It! ]

I so wanted to use this line.

I rest my case.

A little drop...

So goes out to lucky ones who will find such happiness :) Hey a tear is not always bad...

[Not often I tag a post to "Happiness" :) ]

A little drop, out of nowhere,

Just caught life, claimed its share.

I closed my eyes, hoping, it would pass,

Failed! , that little devil, notorious, crass.

It wasn’t meant to be seen, the happy visage,

Only stony look of a traveler, hitting another mirage.

I hate what that sight did to me, that oasis,

Forced me to shout, giving the silence a miss.

The happiness just trickled, reached right up to my eye,

Leaked a little, from that dry corner, unvisited till today.
