Three days of sleep-less life

For the three past days, I have had one of the most gruesome, stomach gushing experiences my life till date. This experience began in less than an hour after my previous blog post.. The strike announced by the opposition parties kicked off the start to my awesome experience. Planning to start to college early the next day to attend the classes by 9:00 AM it gave a mild heart attack to me. But then it was stated in the news that the bus services would function as normal but from 7 in the morning, but that time would not be enough for me to reach the college on time. Then I had to start immediately from home as the bus services would be stopped from 00:00 and I had to take another bus from town and travel 45 mins to reach my college.

I began from my home around 8:00 PM and luckily got to the ccoll by 11:45PM.. :).. Before I could let out a sigh of relief that I reached college as a full package, I was dragged by my collar into my friend's room and was beat black and blue before I could realize what was going on!!! Then I realized that they gave me one work to do (one single work for the entire trimester) and I've forgotten it and went home to eat sweets, and the work was pretty huge that even 4 people couldn't do.. Only then did my too slow brain realised that these &%^$*& guys have handed over a kid of job that even four people can't do on one full day, only to me.

After all the crude and icy looks they gave me, I was not allowed to sleep till 5 AM the next day.. and 2 AM the day following.. The first lesson that I learnt after all these is that I should probably change the name of the blog.. :( being a night-owl is probably one of the worst nightmares I could have about nights.. The thrilling and sleep"less" days I have had has changed my overall view about hostel life and college life, though all that we did for the last three nights were cases, presentations and financial analysis I could get to know the workload that I had given to all of my teammates all these days... And dear teammates if you are reading don't even think that I would feel for it and start working(U probably know it) I will still remain the same.

When I hear stories about the life at hostels and the enjoyment they have I ve thought that fun at home was more awesome.. But after two months in hostel and few sleep-less nights, though that all we did was Analysis I think after two years I shall go out with a heavy heart for sure. :)

But till then we ve got 104 weeks, 730 days.. Lets rock on.. Cheers :)

Rajinikanth-Trolling Newton since 1975..

Hundreds of people gathered whistling and screaming "Thalaivaaa", lots of police packed for protection, people arriving in vans, banners and posters all over the city, everybody waiting eagerly for the arrival..What do you think it is?? A political gathering??? Ha ha.. My thalaivar Rajinikanth has managed to troll you already. Welcome to the theater where a Rajini movie releases. Dancing outside the theater,entering the theater in the same way and when the letters S-U-P-E-R-S-T-A-R appear on the screen, blowing the roof above. How many times have we experienced this and been a part of this traditional way to celebrate a Thalaivar movie release??

"People get older by age but only few people grow younger" is a famous saying about Rajinikanth.. Fans, may like any actor, but when a Rajini movie releases everybody turns into a Rajni fan.I have seen many people who criticize him, begging for a First Day ticket to his movies.. This phenomenon has been the idol of Lakhs of youngsters from the 1980s and mine too, since I watched my maiden Rajini movie.

Any festival day is not complete without a Superstar's movie, and today I was lucky enough to catch a Super       movie of Superstar "SIVAJI"..This reminds me the awesome memories of how I watched the movie. The still I have added to this post is the First poster that was published in the papers, since then the Sivaji fever started all over TamilNadu..Finally the wait was over, the movie was scheduled to release on 15th June,exactly a week after my birthday. 14th June 2007 - night 10PM, one day before the release of Sivaji,I was waiting to watch the Special show in the same way mentioned in the first phrase and when the show was cancelled all the anger we had  was vented out on the neighboring shops and policemen..

I was extremely disappointed that I couldn't catch the first glimpse of the most awaited movie of the decade, but somehow I managed to watch the movie on the opening day.And the way we guys, who were lucky and "brave" enough to watch a Rajini movie on the first day were viewed with envy by others who couldn't, everybody including teachers asking feedback about the movie and me answering with my sore throat after shouting for 3 hours..still remains in my memory as fresh as recorded.. 

There are a few things that make you look back at how you enjoyed it and had fun.. and for everyone who is born in Tamil Nadu a Rajini movie is one such thing.. Thank you Thalaiva for giving me lots of such memories..:)

Never Back Down.

Never back down- an awesome phrase, and one of the few movies that inspired me so much that I started hitting the gym very hard after seeing the movie. My favorite dialogue that I can relate to my every day life is the one that Sean Faris tells to Hounsou "Everyday when I enter the gym I come with full of frustration and when I exit after my workout exhausted am just me "..

Am stating this dialogue now because I just came from the gym all exhausted at 12 noon.. You can easily grasp how bad a guys was in need to hit the gym when he works out at 12 noon. :P... I think it is important for a person like me, when exposed to an environment like this, to have a gateway to vent out. Thank god I got the gym here.

 One of the best companions I have here at this B-School is the Gym and the steels there. As Arnold says "People can say you are good, better or worse and they can lie, but steel is the real deal it hits you straight on the face saying the reality". I have faced this situation quite a lot, people say I am good healthy and grown big  but I only come to realize that I am able to max a few Kilos lesser than what I usually do, and there are also occasions when people have said I look worse and when I max out a few Kilos higher than the previous time, I feel tremendously happy. The reason might be that I wanted to prove that I am better than ever.

Telling about the movie that inspired me in just two lines wont do justice for it. Sean Faris looks like the combination of Tom Cruise and Cristiano Ronaldo, this might be one of the reasons that inspired me, to look like them.. :) The story as revolves how he, after getting beaten up by the Macho-guy of the school, bounces back at him by continually hitting the gym.. After watching this movie two new songs were added to my 5-star rating playlist, Someday by Flipside and Stronger by Kanya West. The lyrics just as inspiring as the movie.

Time and again I have asked my friends to join any gym and workout.. Some guys joined after my saying and some others after seeing my transformation. Bodybuilding not only allows you to vent out your everyday frustration but it also teaches you the very basic laws of life. Determination, patience and finally the three words Never Back down..!!! Gaining 20 kilos in the past three years I believe to have a fair idea speaking about the topic.

It is very important for grads like me here to hit the gym, maintain a good and healthy physique. If you have or ever had the intention of entering the doors of a gym don't wait more "Just do it".. keep going and results will come to you, not day by day but evaluate your development after 6 months and you will thank me :)

Once in a while an idea arises.

It's already 00:38, sitting in my hostel room and staying stagnant on the introduction paragraph of Rediscovering market segmentation with a mild sound from my stomach signifying the need for more, thinking of my status the same time every night 3 months ago - one hand on the X-box controller, one hand in the snack jar, lying down on the floor overtaking Lewis Hamilton over the final corner of the Singapore Grand prix.(Man what an awsome feeling it is to win your F1 Championship?? LOL).

Suddenly I get the idea of writing a blog/book(??!!) about the life am having in one of the premium B-Schools in India. I have had these ideas frequently in class everytime I think of what to do after my MBA, the next frequent thought that arises is getting married and settling with the dowry, before I could think of the next "big-settling" plan I hear someone saying in my mind"you've had no sleep yesterday night don't miss this awesome opportunity**&&^***%$", and before I realize I am "zzzzzz" and caught on some one's mobile.

Tonight is totally a different one I finally started typing the first post here.The life of an  MBA- Masters of Business Administration they say, what they never said is Mass-Brain-Assault , yeah you come here with the FRESH mind that was never used except the previous night of an exam and while peeping into your friend's paper and when not visible trying to imagine what you think he has written, but after two months here all I can think of is Accounting, Marketing, Finance, AS 1,2,3,4,..., Organisation, operation and once in a while the howls from the adjacent TT room..

Confused!!! am sure you can find out many meanings for the word and all those meanings you can find in me.    When saying ME I hope I stand for most part of the MBA grads all over. The night owl life am leading, the mixture of the various subjects am learning, the various Characters I meet everyday, the mixed emotions I get  every day and after all this the crave inside me that makes me wake up the next morning and go through the same again and again and AGAIN!! is all that am going to cram here in this Blog where I am going to waste some of my time, hoping that you will also waste some CALCULATED amount of time reading.

It's time to get back to the Life of an MBA grad and sign off my aspirations as a writer for the next 20 hours.

Phew(Am gone)!!
