Dream?

“Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.”

"Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.”

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”

“Hold fast to your dreams, for without them life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.”

“If you're still hanging onto a dead dream of yesterday, laying flowers on its grave by the hour, you cannot be planting the seeds for a new dream to grow today”

Something is better than nothing!!

Introspection = Confusion (phew)!

These days i am suffering from a syndrome called lack of 'drive for anything'. Every now and then, time draws a blank against you and you sit dumbfounded :). No..no its not the more-often-than-not-suggested 'Love Syndrome' as per bollywood thinkers. Its something grave. After some serious research, and the battle between the many school of thoughts inside...it was found that it is futile to do further research..as the matter is simply an unending labyrinth. Excerpts from the research about the probable culprits -

1. A constant thread of 'Why I am here?' running against all the processes in your system!

2. Opportunity Cost of being here? Is this what all i dreamt of??

3. Is it about DREAM? Do you have one? Till this point it was about to do an MBA...from an IIM (thats what you were left with)..Ok. Now what??

4. 'Who am I?' - What is the ultimate role for which i have descended on this planet and whether i want to achieve anything?(As per the syllablus of one of the courses) If yes, then what?

5. No, its not about the job! Then what? Its becomes so simple if you tag something as the 'dream job' and here you go - you got the sole idea for being here at this hill station :). But why not job??

6. If not job...Then what? Are you here for 'enlightenment'?? huh.....dude then you are the ONE!!

Conclusion??? Dude, you need to define some constraints, decision variables, objective function...if you really wanna optimise for the reason of your existence here?? (dont sleep in class..i told you!)

Neverthless one conclusion i have is that...'Everytime i do introspection i come out confused(see below)!'

P.S. - The first picture of this post is just a 'hook' as told in class ;)

SWAC elections, Placement Committee & Me!

These days there is a new frenzy @ planet I. Its not about World Cup, not bcoz of any term exams or quiz or assignments...then?? Its about SWAC Elections!

SWAC is the Student Welfare Activities Council @ IIM I. There are various committees in SWAC umbrella which delve in various functions/feilds. The most critical of these committees is 'Placement Committee' for the obvious reasons. So, what the title of this post has to do with me. Well i have nominated myself for the same committee.

Coming straight to the point!

What I bring to the table as a
Placement committee member –


1. Work experience of 43 months in Infosys

2. Exposure of international work culture of 15 months

3. 100% Commitment & Sincerity


No tall claims! You & I understand its serious business!


Make an informed opinion & then vote!

Addendum1 - Results have been declared and i made it to the selected 7. Hope, the best 4 of us get thru....for sake of our future!! Thanks for all the people who voted for me!!

Addendum2 - The best four have been chosen and i realized on the way that i am not supposed to be in them. Self-realisation on the way......! Good! Lots of food for thought!!

Mid terms Over!!

Its party time again for the pgp-1 guys here at planet I bcoz the first mid-terms are over!! Have jotted down few thoughts on the proceedings of the 3 happening days -

Once upon a time, on a cosy little hill
when participants were doing bit of chill
there came the clouds of mid-term,
to add in their lives sorrows & bit of thrill!
first came JApaani, and it did create a kahani
good or bad, we dont know yet...no time to think;
then came phatta's revenge and we surrendered,
against the a,b,c,d and e(s) of the paper
in which i saw phatta's cruel BHINK*!
Finally PK tunn saved the day,
when in OB each one of us was in disarray;
Acctg made me believe something is bound to happen,
given my unbalanced performance in quiz,
but we all smiled, MAC guy never used any weapon!
With all joy & happiness, i printed my report,
on Master Terrorist Operation and submitted in time,
its bliss spilling all over..as mid-terms ended today,
i dont care...........even if this poem doesnt rhyme!

*read wink in the most sophisticated accent!

Maana Bikhra hoon mein....

Current mood:

Maana bikhra hoon mein abhi
Mein nay khawab piroay thay
Teri saanson mein gum hoon abhi
Meri chaahat adhoori hai

Mushkilain jab bhi aa ja-ain gi
Dard hudd say guzar ja-ay ga
Koi ghum na phir ho ga mujhe
Gar khawabon mein tum aao gay

Ab tho aadat si hai mujh ko aisay jeenay mein
hey hey heyayayayay ooooo oooooo........

Duur jithna bhi tum mujh se Paas teray mein
Ab to aadat si hai mujh ko
aaaaa hoooooooo aaaaaaa
ho ho aaaaaaaaaaaa
