B’day - This phenomenon is really close to my heart. I remember almost all my b’days, right from class 5 to 28 Sep’06. Well, they have always been special. During the primary school days, there was this typical way of celebration by distributing sweets in the class and throwing party in the school canteen for a group of close friends. People say children don’t have to worry about the worldly considerations but even in this tender age, I had to think twice and consult my best friend for deciding who all have to be invited for my treat. To add on to the headache, I even had to be reminded as to who were the ones who invited me in their party. And who are the ones who gave me presents and cards this time. Hmmm…birthdays are fun but isn’t it too much for a class 5 kid?? Then came secondary and senior secondary days. Now the celebration took a different form. The number of people treated went down. Only the closest of friends were treated. But the celebration with friends was limited to sch...

hey... i know i am quite irregular at blogging..but then somewhere one desperately needs to be irregular to break the monotony of life... Well, I am slowly coming back to my normal self (the bindaas kinds wholistically but the restless kinds for trivial issues..). My councellor gave me a wonderful advise - don't try to control everything in your life. Sometimes you need to just let it go and let things happen in your life. Agreed, one needs to have an internal locus of control (now that I am familiar with the OB terms - one biggest advantage of doing an MBA, you get to use high flown jargons..) but then at some juncture, you seem to have lost control over the happenings in your life. The only solution is not to crib over what is happening but try to accept the reality and enjoy the awkwardness of the situation. It all depends on how you take it!! If your perspective of looking at things changes, all the difficult circumstances seem to look simple. Believe me...this is really strang...

Hey..feels nice to be back to writing after a month and a half…… Well, it seemed to be almost a year here at IMT…may be coz of so many happenings in such a short duration or coz of the initial teething problems which seemed to be never ending. It has been a roller-coaster ride till now. I started with a bumpy ride in the beginning. Life seemed to be hell. Here I was in the midst of all non-familiar faces, didn’t have much to do apart from sleeping through yoga classes, orientation sessions and introductory classes. I was in no position to know where I was directed to and what I was doing in such a place. It seemed one has to compete for everything- right from reserving your place in committees to as trivial a issue as getting food in the mess. It seemed there was no one for you, you just have to know everybody around you to create a good impression on others so that you can work with them in teams. All the events seemed to be part of a drama, produced and directed by you, with the lead...
