Reading any financial daily is a pleasant experience in itself these days ! Look at the four headlines of Monday 12 Feb, Economic Times:- AV Birla group buys Novelis for $6 billion, Vodafone pips rivals, bids values Huthinson Essar at $19 bn, HDFC to buy out Chubb in insurance co, Yet another price cut in petrol and diesel likely. Now, this is what one should call true India shining campaign. And this is not the case with any particular day but almost daily pages are inked in praise of Indian …

I am anxious. I am nervous. I am confused. I am what i am not !
At such an important juncture of time, when i should have been at my best, i am feeling anxiety. I know everything, i have good acads, wonderful extra curricular actvities to show, how to carry myself in those thirty mins, but when i start thinking about it, i feel a fear. But it should not be so. IIMs profs are very polite, jovial. They laugh with you but not at you. I have to be …

I never knew that peronsality can be chnaged in 15 days span, but CL faculty made me believe that. Just returned from PDP boot camp, from b’ful resort, midway b/w Delhi and Jaipur. It was great place with great guys and no doubt, great faculty.
There were many lessons and if i begin writing blog over that, perhaps i’ll end up in praising and putting all the tips, the ppl give. Some were emotional appeals, some threats and others by quoting examples, but whatever it was good and i loved …

“I swear by my god, by my wife, by my native country Australia, by my children and by Rahul Dravid that i will experiment, experiment and keep on experiment till i ruin Indian cricket”, Greg Chappel. I saw him yesternite in dreams quoting the above statement. This is not good time to blog, afterall India is winning but his experiments has seriously troubled Indians much like Pak ISI.
Indian team has faced some of the serious debacles recently, and it all started with WI tour. A tour, very crucial prior to …

As a child, i always used to wonder what’s Republic Day ? I easily understood that on 15th August, we got freedom from vicious Britishers  and on 2nd October, its the b’day of a Mahatma Gandhi, who forced English away, but how come another third day, which is celebrated in-line with them ? We used to have ladoos in school, some patriotic programmes like songs etc. I am faintly recalling that once i was participating in a group song, and was remarked as worst of all and during the final …

Two things first.
1) It has been observed that i am doing average of 1 blog per 3 months. Kewl !
2) I have come across the blog of Kartik Thakur, a favorite senior of mine. Having a look, i felt like, it should have been mine blog. Not kidding ! I always wish to have such diversified content on hell lot of topics ranging from  World Politics to Religion to Sports to anything. But the problem is that i beat around the bush a lot and forget the main theme and …

Nyways, at other hour of the day, i was reading ‘Business Maharajas’ by Gita Piramal. The first chapter is of Dhirubhai Ambani …. suddenly …

Its getting gloomy day by day. I am feeling a void; And see all my fears go real as i write these first two lines, and i.e. again i am going to write something pessimistic. I always avoided this blogging, once a passion, just because i was afraid that i can be perceived as some morose fella which i am not and even if i am , i don’t wish to be perceived so.
Anyways, when talks have been touched, let me not avoid that. I am feeling a void, not …

My last days in B’lore and work pressure still surmounting !!! Have tasted professional life, a new experince and can say that i m gonna cherish this. The industry outside is not that easy, but that’s what we are supposed to be groomed up to. To work on sharp deadlines, to do all the things, whether they are in ur domain or not, to sit in office till 11-12 just because you don’t wish to hear comments from ur next boss. Man, this is different hemisphere !!!
This time, when i …
