Yearning for those college days
Yesterday (29-jun-2009) i went to NITIE to celebrate my friend’s birthday. The whole campus reminded me of my college days @ VNIT, Nagpur. There were so many similarities between the campuses built by the government during the 60’s but I guess that’s what makes this campuses so much addictive.
NITIE is located behind IIT Powai, with the Vihar Lake surrounding it on one side and the slums on the other side. As one enters the campus one sees the pond and then the hostels blocks start. As one proceeds on see the steps to the ad block these are called the 90 steps. There is a winding road which leads one to the main ad block. Besides the ad block is the MDP hostel block. The NDP hostel block provides a view of the beautiful Vihar Lake. The campus has a serene and calm atmosphere. One cannot imagine that the institute is located in the financial hub of India, Mumbai a city which never sleeps.
During interacting with students on the campus i was so engrossed that I forgot, I was not part of this campus. After experiencing the campus life I yearn to go back to college and again enjoy the campus life. Hope this year my prayers are answered and my hard work bears fruit….

Nice little story
A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the
fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating
car accident.
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo
master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't
understand why, after three months of training the
master had taught him only one move.
"Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be
learning more moves?"
"This is the only move you know, but this is the only
move you'll ever need to know," the sensei replied.
Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher,
the boy kept training. Several months later, the
sensei took the boy to his first tournament.
Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two
matches.
The third match proved to be more difficult, but after
some time, his opponent became impatient and charged;
the boy deftly used his one move to win the match.
Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the
finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger,
and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be
overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt,
the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop
the match when the sensei intervened. "No," the sensei
insisted, "Let him continue."
Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a
critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the
boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the
match and the tournament. He was the champion. On the
way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in
each and every match. Then the boy summoned the
courage to ask what was really on his mind.
"Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"
"You won for two reasons," the sensei answered.
"First, you've almost mastered one of the
most difficult throws in all of judo.
And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent
to grab your left arm."
The boy's biggest weakness had become his
biggest strength.
"Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses and we blame god, the circumstances
and our self for it but we never know that our weakness can become our strength one day.
Each of us is special and important,so never think you have any weakness, never think of pride or pain, just live your life to its fullest and extract the best out of it…..!!!

sick..tired...bored...
For days this frustration has been builing inside me.. and i had been trying to hide it..from the outside world but i guess i cannot hide it anymore and i will eventually come out.
My life is heading nowhere.
My Job is just getting more and more frustrating...
It feels as if i entered an infinite loop with no way to get out.Nothing good happens in my life.
I tried for to get into some decent b school but then luck played it wicked game and was not selected. I was deperately trying to escape from my job but now i have to hold it on for one more year...(kitna pain hain )
The girl i used to like got admitted in another B school and morever she is now with some other guy....(okay i accept waise manie bhi kuch jyaada kiya nahi is mamle mein but still)
The rating i got at my workplace is not good.
Again i was unable to fulfill my parents expectations.( this is the second time after my JEE debacle). Although they will never say but i do have the realization of the same.
Now again one more year to for the CAT .. The wait for something good to happen in life is killing me...
Sometimes i just feel that is it really worth...but i guess that i don't have anyother option...
Lot of things are going throught my mind and i am confused eagrding what should i do??
All my friends are getting what they have wanted and i wonder why is it that i don't get what i want.. i know i am capable to get it.. i also work hard in my own way....
I always wonder why when it comes to me god always denies what i want while others always get it.. everything in my life comes after much delay and that to at a very high cost....
At present i completely confused and lost .....why is it that luck never favours me??? why am i the chosen one???
Still searching the answers for these questions...

A PERFECT LETTER TO PM.
This is the letter written by Editor Mumbai (Times of India)
Dear Mr. Prime minister
I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that.
Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India .
Enough is enough. As such after seeing terrorist attack carried out by about a dozen young boys I realize that if same thing continues days are not away when terrorist will attack by air, destroy our nuclear reactor and there will be one more Hiroshima .
We the people are left with only one mantra. Womb to Bomb to Tomb. You promised Mumbaikar Shanghai what you have given us is Jalianwala Baug.
Today only your home minister resigned. What took you so long to kick out this joker? Only reason was that he was loyal to Gandhi family. Loyalty to Gandhi family is more important than blood of innocent people, isn't it?
I am born and bought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar . Look at all the politician, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief minister I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fisherman so they can build concrete house right on sea shore. Next time terrorist can comfortably live in those house , enjoy the beauty of sea and then attack the Mumbai at their will.
Recently I had to purchase house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligent agency & CBI you and your finance minister are not aware of it.. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld isn't it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything.
If this has been land of fools, idiots then I would not have ever cared to write you this letter. Just see the tragedy, on one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent and on other side you politician has converted nectar into deadly poison. I am everything Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Schedule caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Schedule caste, Creamy Schedule caste only what I am not is INDIAN. You politician have raped every part of mother India by your policy of divide and rule.
Take example of former president Abdul Kalam. Such a intelligent person, such a fine human being. You politician didn't even spare him. Your party along with opposition joined the hands, because politician feels they are supreme and there is no place for good person.
Dear Mr Prime minister you are one of the most intelligent person, most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost expose all selfish politician. Ask Swiss bank to give name of all Indian account holder. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolf among us.. There will be political upheaval but that will better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambient where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of.
Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?
