well well well...they say life aint life without love...just one question beckons though is it really love....over the past few months it seems my campus has transformed from a mecca where astute brains from all over the world clash to a rose garden where buds of fresh love blossom....
hmm its good to see people who u have known for some time to do something which makes u realize that do u really know them....all acts of love begin with show off.. i mean come on it takes time to really truly love someone.....heck u atleast need to know the person well enough to even think about it.......however, the road to getting there is a start many of my confidants have taken in the near past... i am happy for them but just a lil skeptical.... is this a stop gap arrangement or are they in this for the long haul....
Well i grew up in a conservative country which has now transformed into anything but conservative....( neil would say only parts of it )..anyways the idea of flings and hookups was pretty alien to us until 7-8 years ago maybe.....to be honest it is understandable most of us are away from our homes with no liabilties to speak off except financially...hence the mind wanders to try new things..heck u always wanna try something different.....
with any new feeling there is the usual excitement....it reminds me of my college days.....guys and gals walking together and not letting a moment pass without publically displaying affection or PDA as we know it.....possesive guys on the defense with any other guy trying to even carry out a conversation with their girls...seriously grow up...and then there is the touchy feely body language....
maybe people just wanna have fun... one of my friends would agree to this... having the opinion that indian guys think women here r easy....well is it true or not...thats up in the air...althought i would admit there r options available.......i couldnt have asked for a more well rounded experience when i came here, then i have actually got....acads...laughs..sorrows...highs and lows and now thunderlove.....is it love or convenience who knows!

friendship or love or both...~!
How does one define friendship....is it simply that people are thrown together in an out of comfort zone and seek to find commonalities within people they meet....is that the mere basis on which we define friendship or is it that over a period of time you come so close to someone that you start to trust and respect his opinions which might have a direct or indirect affect on ur life.....who knows?
love, people say is more complicated...the concept of love at first sight might be a little beyond me...i am not saying that you cant like someone by just the first sight...everyone is attracted to someone irrespective of whether he might have never spoken to that person before....but there is a difference between liking someone and falling in love with someone.....sure there will be people who might say i don't believe in romance...actually i do.....but there is a subtle difference between reality and living with your eyes closed.....
Friendship can be often confused for love but can love ever be confused for friendship...its a question well worth asking.....i dont know why i thought i would write bout this....i guess the last week has been kinda weird....maybe its just the surroundings....they do influence how a person thinks........
i know it takes time to truly like someone enough so that u can love he or she.....some people find love instantly...maybe its just pure luck or maybe its just the need to think that u love someone when in reality u might just have a void which u r trying to fill..... so you make yourself more vulnerable.......i might be completely off tangent here.....anyways that's what i think!

juxtapose.....
hmmm...ok where do i start.... the last 24 hours have been amazing...lets start with the good news first...so i got to know that i wont be working with the company i am interning with cause they fell victim to the doomed economy.....ah well i am not complaining at least it helps me put lots a things in perspective.....i know that uncle sam might not be my final destination......
Perhaps not.....but then what is the fun of having a structured life and have everything sorted out for urslef.....i like the unknown..the unknown has always been good to me....so i look forward to the future.....apart from that wouldn't u miss the wonders of life if it just worked like u wanted it to....
Dont know what came to me yestd but i started re-visioning if thats possible my engineering days....those rides to Goa...the fun the frolic the closeness..the fights.....life was so much simpler back then..i had a plan.....looking back all i do is smile...maybe all i need is some floyd and nirvana....adios!

quantum of solace
alright...its been close to over a year since i updated my blog ....a lot has changed since then..or has it...lets see, i was unemployed then looking for a job...fast forward to October 2008 and the tables havn't turned that much....
Although i am interning at a major corporation the future looks like a dim bulb across an ocean of distress......the only silver lining is that nothing better than a storm to shake things up for the better huh...? the Pundits might label me as crazy..... looking at a bright sight in the present doomsday.....
i love the word doom....dont get me wrong i dont derive pleasure from distress...but it kinda puts lots of things in perspective.....u think the world would come to an end..and then yet again it fails us and rebounds back....why dont we see a black hole..THE END....
Why is there always light at the end of the tunnel.....is this a signal that we are living in a false sense of hope and is existence a mere futile effort.......
Whatever be the reason i dont subscribe to the ideals of the past...although history has taught us well that after every major disaster there has been a recovery..... i for one wanna see how things would be if there is a full stop to the world. i might not be around to witness what happens next but think about it all of us mere mortals just switched off one fine day...who will take over or planet....the aliens the martians or will the human race ever evolve again...
Nostradamus predicted there will be a world war III that will radically change the world and destroy the status quo.....maybe it is true..maybe a shake up is required to upset the balance so we can build up again....the human mind has achieved great things in past 100 years..but as humans have we evolved even a little....come to think of it we are far more uncivilized than before...
I aint got meney in my pocket,i aint got no style
I am searching for Christ at the end of my fight
To become one of the many who die
ill walk away with a pleasant smile....
I dont care if my liver, is hung by a thread,
I dont care if my doctor says i ought to be dead,
If my ugly big car wont climb this hill,
I'll write a suicide note...
On a $100 bill.
seems bout right...?

1 down 3 to go!
It is 2:45 in the morning, Saturday December 15th....i am lying in my bed thinking how fast the last 3 months went by......although there is some physical pain i am in thanks to my ill fated fall 2 nights ago..... there is a sense of achieving something special........
my last post was before my first sem started...needless to say i didn't have time to update my blog....what say ppl MBA sure does keep u busy......and to be honest i have worked more in these last couple of months than my entire 4 years of engineering put together.......
look at the brighter side, countless hours of data analysis and an understanding of the renminbi's hand in the US dollar decline...thats some fun stuff,dont u think ...but the truth is it has made me see the world in a different sense all together....the ability to reason and understand the very nature of political decisions and their impact on the world economy.....the reason why people from every country behave in the way they do........
when i stepped into the college life after 3 yrs of work i thought i will get to live the good ol days..bunking lectures and watchin movies....but here's the deal i havnt missed a single lecture except the ones for which i couldn't reach class as they were at 8 in the morng, for which i did the make up one......havnt been this sincere ever, and why cause i like this stuff...i may not be as competitive as others nor i might get as good grades...but what i got was good knowledge the stuff for which i came to college......
Enough said the next 6 weeks i am gonna relax and take time off, really can i afford to do that...
maybe not i still have to actively pursue an internship...although i have my fare share of distractions a week in florida and then 2 in New York doing a brand management program.....I will definetly be getting the jitters and shivers.....and might be snowed in as well.......
All in all its been a fun filed ride...where i have met new people made friends and learned a lot.....
1 trimester down 3 to go.....
cheers!

welcome to the valley of the sun!
Boy is it hot....its 106 today that is 41 degrees and i feel i am back in delhi.......
i think i have to get used to Fahrenheit now......so anything above 100 and i know its gonna be hot.......
My flight was nice... i guess paying the extra 10k for british airways was worth every penny of it.......had a lay over in london for about 2 hours...got a bite to eat and hopped on to the next flight......Got a chance to catch The pelican brief on the flight......slept the rest of the way through....
Took me about an hour to clear customs and immigration.......but thankfully all my bags came quite contrary to my expectation as BA is known to loose bags......was in for a pleasant surprise....
2 pretty hot babes came to pick me up at the airport...of course so did my friends who i never found......but he did come......so i hopped on with them...jenny and Alice ...they were pretty cool ...they dropped me at my friends place...Met up with Bhavi after 3 years...we guys caught up over a few drinks......
Got up really early as i had to come to the college........Bhavi dropped me......Called up actually woke up Meghna...... .Till she got ready strolled around campus and met Neil,shikher and Garima.......Came back and then got my student Id card made out...thanks to meghna for serving as the guide for the day.......Had lunch in the cafeteria......the food was just about eatable......met up with Firoza and kalpshree..they look pretty brainy.......
Also got my dorm...its a nice room and the best part is its pool facing.......nice eye candy........
Was on the lookout for part time jobs...have filled out an application in the Library...lets see if i get it.....well that's where i am right now....Have an Eco boot camp from Wednesday and then foundations week.....might be heading to San Fransisco on labor day weekend.....

3 years later!
2 much of free time at my disposal...what better to do but to create a blog.....its been close to a week since i returned back from bangalore after 3 years in the IT city....believe u me life out there was much more fun....As i look back over the past 3 years spent i know i have enough memories that will last me a good part of this life.....My first paycheck, my first car, great friends and a great company!
Ten days earlier i was employed, now as i prepare to leave for my MBA i think anxious is what i am....It's not that i am going to the US for the first time, but the anticipation surrounding my future is at it's peak right now...surely my parents are exhilarated and they should be. They always wanted me to do an MBA and make a good life......The big if comes in when i will graduate and choose what next......Which field i want to pursue i am not sure off as of now but i have time to decide on that.......
Having worked for the biggest software company in the world for the last 3 years has imbibed in me the concept of going all out and achieve the best.....i was never a topper in class nor college but i know great grades dont guarantee nothin.....i hope to do well at school and land a job..make my parents happy, get set for life in their terminology......
I am caught in the middle i guess...wanting to hang on to the last 3 years which have passed and looking ahead which i dont even have a sniff about....the past was familiar and comforting...the future beckons and i know it will be a good future.........Its exactly 10 days before i board the flight for Phoenix,Arizona or as my friend sunil calls it 'feenix' . It's hot as hell there but i guess i am not complaining, its just a 4 hour drive to vegas...wow! thats one place i dont wanna miss....
That aside i know the next 2 years will probably be the toughest ever....but i am going there with a will to fight and survive.......
