One phone call...and it changes your life track completely!!!
No..it wasn't from God :D (ppl who've read 1 night @ the call center will probably understand the joke intended)

Actually I was quite confused about what to do after my engineering...its my final year,so its high time..i should start thinking about it..
So I called up a career guidance counsellor of jaan-pehchaan :D
My first question was obviously about placements!!What else does a "budding" engineer think about?? I asked him about the current placement scenario.He said its really bad..hardly any placements happening now...That is something i didnt want to hear at all!!But i guess thats the truth...have to live with it :(
That means I have to study further and make myself more "valueable". The options I had: MS ,ME and MBA.I dont want to do MS or ME...so that leaves me with MBA!!
A year back from now I never ever gave even a small thought to doing MBA.. All I thought about was how I have to work for placements..get a good job and then manage it..and now here I am looking for a good class for CAT training . I know that I have to bell the CAT in 2010 for sure!
Well...It did affect my plans for vacations though..Now my driving license will have to wait for a while and so will the guitar maybe..Btw I completed cleaning my room..*phew*
And now along with my BE I have an MBA to do!! :) or :( (really don't know)

Why-O-Why

There are some days in your life when you want everything to be just perfect...but nothing goes your way and all you can say is Why-O-Why???

It was our college cultural fest and I was a participant in Antakshari.I was so HAPPY..2 Reasons for that:

• It was second year in a row that I got selected for the finals and

• This time there was no Miss OC in my team :)

Now let me tell you about this Ms. OC....

Last year she was with us in the finals and this year in the auditions,we were made one team.First round in auditions was the normal antakshari round and here i realized the disadvantages of having a soft voice.OC has a loud voice and everytime we got an alphabet she would start singing without consulting with us.
It was like I was singing 1 song .....suddenly she starts with another one and eventually I had to sing what she was singing 'coz my voice was barely heard!! :( I was so pissed off!! I thought...'there goes my chance....buh bye antakshari'...but a sudden change of fate in other rounds and Neha and I got selected and OC failed to make it..I was so happy and relieved...My conscience told me...'Pri this is really bad,you shouldnt enjoy someones failure..you'll regret it later' and I said,'Shut up!!I am 100% happy tht shez not selected and you are definitely not spoiling it!!!'

25th Feb,2009..Our antakshari...Neha and I reached college by 11am and headed towards the auditorium..There we met OC..she came to us and said,"All the Best guys!"...I was like..'How sweet!Probably shez not tht bad after all'...then she added," Last time we made somesilly mistakes,this time WE must not repeat them."..'Wait a minute...did she just say WE???'I looked at Neha and she had the same puzzled look tht I had tht moment.Then Ms. OC told us tht her friend who got selected left the place for her and I thought....

"WOWW!What a friend!!But friendship dikhaane ke liye use antakshari hi mili thi!!"X(

And there started OCs oversmartness and domination!!Firstly,I wanted to sit in the front row..(I wore my best top that day for tht reason!)..but she quickly ran to the front seat.Neha offered me other front seat but she is a better singer anyday..so she deserved to sit in the front and so I declined it...And so I sat hidden behind them..*sob sob*

The main thing was tht she brought such a negative energy in the team...with tht 'I-know-it-all-u-r-dumbos' attitude tht it became really frustating and irritating to sit there...
Plus to add to it,"The judges",pataa nahi kaunse janam ka badlaa le rahe the.A lot of places where i could hav easily argued tht we deserved points and we wernt given any.....but I cudnt bcoz eventually they are my professors!And so I sat there hiding my frustration with a huge smile..And my conscience was jumping and dancing...'I told you na...you'll regret it later'...

Well.as a result of all the mess,we came Second LAst!!WHOA!!!from second,last year to second last this year!what a shame!!Actually our cultural this year was prety average as compared to what it was last year...So a bad day!! :( Hoping such days never show up again...and always listen to your conscience......otherwise it gets an opportunity to taunt you :P

P.S. :Currently listening to Taylor Swift ka songs these days...all thanks to Sailo!!Taylor's good! :)
And yeah koi mera result mujhe laa do....MU/Coll<---Hadd kardi aapne!!!

Mind your Language "Please"!

Date:10th January 2009-----------------------Time:7:00pm

I was glued to my TV like any other 20 something person..sounds senseless..Wait a min... correction:I was glued to MTV like any other 20 something and now you know the reason why! Yes,it was the first episode of MTV Roadies 6.0 Hell Down Under!!I just love to watch all those adventurous tasks that these people do except for the ones where they have to eat some creatures and then they puke it out...YUCK!!! I feel sometimes that I should be doing those tasks but then I come back to ground reality.....I am way too "darrpok" to do most of these tasks!!

Anyways they planned to delay the start a lil bit..I got to see the preview of the entire season before the 1st episode and I realized something....The number of beeps has increased like anything..Roadies 5.0 wala roadies sounded like saints in front of these roadies!!Personally,this part of roadies is something i hate..even though i say hate...i like 1 thing...I can proudly say,"Look at these people....they have a pathetic vocabulary than ME..thats why this is all that they can say!!!";)

I have an awful vocabulary...I'm trying to improve it though....I remember 1 episode of my life..this was when i was in FE..Sem 2...I was the CR of my class and we had this Physics prof.. She is a very moody woman..One day she would yell at you and insult you like anything and the next day she would be the sweetest person around..And me being the CR had to bear the brunt of her mood swings most of the time...So one fine day(or rather a very ugly day) she insulted me like anything for no fault of mine and almost threw the assignments on my face(i hate ppl who throw books and pages like that.Respect them..they are your source of knowledge!!) The next day she came to our class and told me to stand up..I thought,"Here she goes again..".She asked me,"Are you good at extempore??"The worst part of it was I didnt know then what extempore meant*tch tch..shame shame* All I could do was stare blankly at her with the typical confused look that I have.Then my friend who was sitting besides me understood my problem and told me the meaning of extempore...My immediate reaction was "OHH YES!Uhh..I mean yes ma'am I am." Then she said,"Why dont you audition for being the host for Sojourn(thts our cultural fest)....You've got the looks!!" I was like..."What happened to her???Did someone hit her on her head(was a possibility u knw..with the kind of nature she has :D)..and I said in the sweetest way.."Sure ma'am I will".. Ofcourse i didnt..because I had this huge stage fright then(I did manage to overcome it...details later)...But two things from this episode..... First That I have an awfully awful vocabuary(it was very embarassing)..and secondly... OMG!!People can have worst and terrible type of mood swings.God save ppl like me frm them!

Btw I took the topic from where to WHERE..It was about Roadies and how my vocab is better than theirs...These ppl...oooff!!I mean dont they know any other words or what!!!All we can hear is the F-word and a bunch of other heavy weight abuses and that too when these words are completely irrelevant to what they are saying!!Those beeps are totally useless..even a school kid knows what words they are using!But seriously not just roadies..this is the present day scenario of the Gen-X..The youth..The guys in college feel itchy if they dont use the F-word atleast once and surprisingly its not just the Guys...even Girls too*hey Ram!!aaj kal ki ladkiyan...tch tch*...not that I am some dadi amma :D ....but Thankfully I am not into this and Thank you MOM for this..(details later)...I know all the bad words,"I think"...but I never use them*full of pride*..However it is very much essential to know them or you could be in a situation like..

Some dumbo: You are a #%$@$%%$ %$##$!!!

You:Wow!!really? AAwww...thats so sweet of you!!Muah!!

This could be one of the worst situation u can face...So know your abuses but dont use them "PLEASE"!! Whoa...Who am i kidding..Me saying please isnt gonna change your language unless you actually try to!Well,I did give it an attempt! :) So people who like to use abuses..all i can say is"Get well soon MAMU!!"

Engineering!!!!

I know it been a long time since my first blog…but its so difficult to manage all these stuff when you are an engineering student…
Life as an engineering student is sooo hectic….
I mean…ofcourse there are a lot of fun moments that I was part of….and I thank engineering for that!!!
Like my IV(what an experience!!!),our college fests…both tech and cultural…and also the Lectures..
All of them are total fun..
But the slogging the one has to do is so stressful!!!

The number of assignments for one…..tending to infinity…(ok….infinity is a bit exaggeration…but they are definitely close o 70-80 each sem)is a waste of time..No one takes them seriously. There’s 1 master copy….and the rest assignment are just identical copies!!!!

Secondly….the practical knowledge one gains is close to 0%....
If you are good at rote learning….then you will definitely succeed in the exams…
Sadly, Mugging up=success mantra in engg…atleast in the univ from where I am doing it…

These things really frustrate me…

I mean the future engineers of our country are the ones whose don’t think practically…but just know to mug up things…
SCARY!!!

Well there’s an advantage in this stress as well!!! My parents took me to Goa(*all smiles*)to relieve my stress…Goa is So RELAXING!!!

Anyways….so this was the reason for just a long gap between my first post and this post…
Now…I have my PL going on…so I can put all my thoughts here more frequently. See I already have 2 posts in 1 day!!
Signing off…adios!!
