type='text'>Delhi Mumbai the eternal debate</title><content type='html'>Ahem well before i begin, lemme start my stance just might surprise you ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Delhi - Mumbai - which a better place to live in ??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I would say Delhi - if it was just living, in terms of rents, malls, fashion, food, fashion amongst common people, and travel, cos of its essentially a circular geography instead of it along a coast line, and of course the Delhi Metro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mumbai might argue, space might be a constraint and cost of living may be jus a tad higher, but Mumbai is the bollywood and industry heart and soul. And with bollywood and its designers there, it obviously has fashion...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well lemme say if it were  just plain living, delhi would b better. Food is equally spicy at both places and well fashion in a commoner - delhi is way ahead ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But living needs to be well LIVING a full life...and thats where Mumbai beats Delhi hands down, then whether that be beaches, a stroll in the morning or late in night or , or going to pubs / discs for just hanging out with friends, at ANY TIME of the day ...without the gender factor coming into play. Also, there is the attitude of people, an important factor. BINDASS in mumbai...Less of show off, the local is for the high end consultant as much it is for the machchi wali or a subzi wala..Whatever you wear or for that matter dun wear, people dnont blink an eye in Mumbai, its a way of life, and for that matter its YOUR life. That is the attitude of most classes of people there. In delhi, wearing something  jazzy just might invote trouble for a girl, not just from the uneducated, but their counterparts as well, age isnt a factor at all.&lt;br /&gt;Then there one lil thing more in Mumbai, that makes a big difference. The community comes together on festivals, as one. they celebrate it together, be it ganesha chaturthi, krishna janmasthmi, navratras dandiya, Independence day or the city Marathons... People enjoy not in siloed homes or small families, but together...&lt;br /&gt;In Delhi, its more isolated,one off. May be the hectic pace of life makes it so, but what the heck, Mumbai sprints too.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in my opinion, Mumbai wins hands down if one wants to live bindass metro paced life...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS:I have stayed all my life in Delhi, so it should mean a hell more coming from me ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One factor where both cities lose it is the fact that you might just not know who lives next door to you in the "jeevan ki aapadhapi" and the local/metros fast pace of life ...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23457796-536057502712611002?l=collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/feeds/536057502712611002/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23457796&amp;postID=536057502712611002' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/536057502712611002'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/536057502712611002'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/2007/10/delhi-mumbai-eternal-debate.html' title='Delhi Mumbai the eternal debate'/><author><name>Kanishka</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457796.post-600101158799253861</id><published>2007-10-26T20:46:00.000+06:00</published><updated>2007-10-26T20:54:41.822+06:00</updated><title type='text'>Waiting for college to restart..</title><content type='html'>Things I have lined up for Kgp ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to lawn tennis&lt;br /&gt;Start gymming&lt;br /&gt;Start one new sport&lt;br /&gt;Renew May be swimming&lt;br /&gt;Learn biking&lt;br /&gt;Visit 2 new places&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and of course&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BAKAR ... loads of it with friends :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically khub sari masti n loads of gud time with friends ...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23457796-600101158799253861?l=collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/feeds/600101158799253861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23457796&amp;postID=600101158799253861' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/600101158799253861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/600101158799253861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/2007/10/waiting-for-college-to-restart.html' title='Waiting for college to restart..'/><author><name>Kanishka</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457796.post-7861763172881533310</id><published>2007-10-26T20:38:00.000+06:00</published><updated>2007-10-26T20:45:12.959+06:00</updated><title type='text'>jus to write one more ...</title><content type='html'>People write can write so much about the management topics, gyan, nice chapters/blogs, but why i cant manage to write even one, its beyond me. &lt;br /&gt;For one, may be i dun have the patience towards  explaining a stuff to sumone, and for second, i am a last moment person and so any concept understanding for me happens last moment b4 the deadline. I know i know thats a real bad way of knowing things.. but thats the way it is. For third, i like to learn by obeservation, observing people around me, why one behaves in a certain way, the human nature intrigues me. So i could write on that, yea, but then agn, its not why one behave but rather, how would one behave, i rather like mining the past and predicting how would one behave to a given sitn. That being my trait, a one rather beyond six sigma case, gives me a hard time in prediction. :) The core reason , i dislike anything that is without emotion, even work, it has to some human element / touch in it. That is not to say that the ones who write such articles are beyond emotion, nothing like that, but thats the situation with me....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets see how it goes in another 6 months of the mba life ...and well thereafter :P&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23457796-7861763172881533310?l=collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/feeds/7861763172881533310/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23457796&amp;postID=7861763172881533310' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/7861763172881533310'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/7861763172881533310'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/2007/10/jus-to-write-one-more.html' title='jus to write one more ...'/><author><name>Kanishka</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457796.post-4700444097247072542</id><published>2007-10-26T20:37:00.000+06:00</published><updated>2007-10-26T20:38:36.578+06:00</updated><title type='text'>Being Normal...</title><content type='html'>Today was a normal April day in Delhi for Kajjal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had to get ready for school in the morning. Her mom woke her up and she slept jus a few more winks of sleep in the morning before the days grind. :P &lt;br /&gt;Managed to reach her new school in time, and rushed straight to the assembly grounds. Prayers, speeches, weeks schedule, and the national anthem to end it.&lt;br /&gt;The first lecture was English communication, and well just to initiate the class, the teacher started off with a debate. That being her forte she gave a good fight to the opposing  team. Soon everyone knew her in class. Positive start. Lectures went by. Lunch break is when she was thinking who to join for lunch when few of her classmates invited her over. After the initial introductions, they chatted on along about the new movie released last Friday and which actor was the hottest dude on the block in bollywood. Tad, the breaks get over too soon always!! 2 more lectures and then it was done. See you soons and byes exchanged.&lt;br /&gt;Once back home, she mulled over her first day at the new school. Pretty much normal, nothing great and not too bad either. People were nice. All in all, NORMAL. Phew… And she sighed with relief. All day’s tensions oozing away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well what’s the highlight/relief all about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well for one thing it was her first day at a school for normal children, one which was not for handicapped, her first day with the artificial leg, instead of the wheelchair to give herself the mobility , her first day without the sympathetic but suffocating smiles and looks, her first day for who she was, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;her first day towards normality…&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23457796-4700444097247072542?l=collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/feeds/4700444097247072542/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23457796&amp;postID=4700444097247072542' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/4700444097247072542'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/4700444097247072542'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/2007/10/being-normal.html' title='Being Normal...'/><author><name>Kanishka</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457796.post-5969216434172562580</id><published>2007-08-29T16:02:00.000+06:00</published><updated>2007-08-29T16:05:57.158+06:00</updated><title type='text'>A question - can you answer it for her?</title><content type='html'>On a recent trip, somehow the discussion got turned towards CSR, companies’ initiatives, sponsor a student programs to adopt a parent programs. Now the last one caught my attention. It meant initiate a bonding with people at old age homes. My friend retold her experience of a visit to an old age home once. It was some kinda greet the visitors day. All of the residents had made something special to eat or share with the visitors. They all welcomed her with loads of love and care, totally unexpected and loving experience for her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among all these residents, there was an old lady. She took her to her room. Made her sit there and offered her sweets. She started telling about herself, her life there and how she spent time there. She was a widow. Her mind went back in time, time with her son and family. And she said, mostly to herself or to any one who could answer the question for her, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;I never said anything to my son, was always supporting to him. Then one day my son brought me here and just left me here, it’s been 3 years, he hasn’t come back as yet. Maine aisa kya kiya tha?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My eyes watered hearing this, what must it be like bearing it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think till the end of her life, she will keep wondering that what was it that made my family abandon me like this…keep searching the answer to that question. She might be having a secure, safe, something to do with life there at the old age home, but hell I dun think it will ever substitute for a home, a place where one belongs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can people behave like this, and why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wish people would stop treating someone so central/integral/above all/parents to their lives in such a manner, and someday when it would be their turn, I hope they haven’t preached the same thing to their kids.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23457796-5969216434172562580?l=collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/feeds/5969216434172562580/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23457796&amp;postID=5969216434172562580' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/5969216434172562580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/5969216434172562580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/2007/08/question-can-you-answer-it-for-her.html' title='A question - can you answer it for her?'/><author><name>Kanishka</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457796.post-8572429085985642174</id><published>2007-08-20T03:05:00.000+06:00</published><updated>2007-08-20T03:09:13.599+06:00</updated><title type='text'>Regrets..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I understand that you were there forever,&lt;br /&gt;I understand that I was blind to the affection that you had for me,&lt;br /&gt;I understand that I understood you half way,&lt;br /&gt;But I also understood that you couldn’t see me as an integral equal in every part of your life,&lt;br /&gt;I was a part; for only a moment in time,&lt;br /&gt;Not long enough to last an eternity of time.&lt;br /&gt;And there I realized that since that couldn’t happen,&lt;br /&gt;My mind and heart wouldn’t agree ever.&lt;br /&gt;Still I tried to forge ahead a way,&lt;br /&gt;But in the process I guess I realized the distance more,&lt;br /&gt;My mind took over and I took a decision sour,&lt;br /&gt;With the affection I also lost out on a friend.&lt;br /&gt;I don’t regret the lost..&lt;br /&gt;For it was never for me, ah an extinct dove;&lt;br /&gt;But I do regret the lost friendship.&lt;br /&gt;And even though I had tried my best,&lt;br /&gt;I failed to save the plummeting ship ...........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23457796-8572429085985642174?l=collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/feeds/8572429085985642174/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23457796&amp;postID=8572429085985642174' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/8572429085985642174'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/8572429085985642174'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/2007/08/regrets.html' title='Regrets..'/><author><name>Kanishka</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457796.post-3716524622953845525</id><published>2007-08-16T14:52:00.002+06:00</published><updated>2007-08-16T15:06:08.619+06:00</updated><title type='text'>Today........</title><content type='html'>Well today it seems  to be one of those days when u have a  feeling that everything will go wrong…&lt;br /&gt;When I analyse, it seems so. at 12 in the night I realized that the paper that I was doing had a totally different objective then what I had summed up till then, it was d deadline night. I continue till 3 am and still no luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wake up in the morning seeing a really bad dream – my boss chasing after me for work in which I m totally not interested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walk towards the metro station – hoping to find an auto, totally not in the mood to face the metro jitters. But…today is today :P.&lt;br /&gt;Well I reached the station only to see a metro waiting there with no space to even keep a foot inside…no energy to barge in. So I wait for the next one, well same case. I get up and bang went my head against the “Patel Nagar” board on the station. Ouch it hurt. :-(. But since I am already late I barge in and get crushed by 100s of other commuters. My laptop bag is going somewhere and my purse is pulled in other direction. Trying to maintain some balance I barely managed not to fall. Well, on the way from metro stn to the office, almost fell twice, how, well twisted my foot twice on the unseen potholes on the Indian roads. I take this path daily, and as yet hadn’t encountered them. Phew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I reach office, I also get to know that Indian market has crashed, again, and big time!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets see whats next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what I want to know is how to get out of this doomsday feeling and start up on a positive note. These things happen and to most of us. But some laugh it off and some have the above sinking feeling. I would definitely want to hop out of this Titanic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;…………………..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 hours later&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am still in one piece … the day is going forward fine., The competition deadline has been extended. Some other nick knacks sorted out. The bump on my head aint that big now :). A happy ending I guess…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope the Lady Luck continues ;) ....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23457796-3716524622953845525?l=collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/feeds/3716524622953845525/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23457796&amp;postID=3716524622953845525' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/3716524622953845525'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/3716524622953845525'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/2007/08/today.html' title='Today........'/><author><name>Kanishka</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457796.post-2132836582151630801</id><published>2007-08-13T12:36:00.001+06:00</published><updated>2007-08-13T23:43:51.031+06:00</updated><title type='text'>Best times at Kgp</title><content type='html'>TT matches – Rahul Yadav they were great mixing ground for the batch- danke!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senior Junior Cricket matches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volleyball matches&lt;br /&gt;(boys jus might include inter hall cricket badminton basketball Lawn Tennis &amp; football matches )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Birthday bashes-they all were tooo gud ...beyond words fun ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadhus classes – u jus sat there trying to test your abilities to comprehend and after a while you realized you really could understand the immense gyan he always tried to give.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gautam Sirs classes – well if nothing but to listen to his comments, KBR, tauraus excretum and use the muscles in the head tooooooo kind of preaches!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some case studies were fun… I would include SK De’s in this &amp; swapan’s too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MAC assignments – however grueling they might have been, they were fun, we all woke up all night&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;POM case studies – u saw everyone in a hurry, all night&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holi – no reminders needed, days after we all were trying to remove the color!!

Sometimes but just sometimes, it becomes very funny. Imagine you are standing in a METRO and reminiscing over the day’s events and suddenly you hear a full barrage of talk from the person standing next to you. Telling about what he she faced in the day or yes/no is/is not interested in meeting you or that movie is good/bad or that he/she loves/hates you. You, totally speechless and discomfited, turn around only to find out that person is talking to someone on the headset which is neatly hidden by the long hair… If it is that Bluetooth one it is sleeker and more neatly hidden!! By jove, believe me a person talking without holding the phone set in hand, does look a lil crazy, talking to him/herself and that too at the full volume…with the eyes staring into nothing and the face emoting whatever the topic might be about!!!!!

Well they are still there. But these days there is a more popular, new found place. Its there after every 500-600 meters. It has got easy transport availability and its clean (that’s rare in Delhi)!!!!!! Also it is air-conditioned or if situated at a height it’s well ventilated. It’s got added attraction of street side junk food vendors at some places as well. Almost turning out to be like Mumbai’s beaches. Further, people dun look twice at you. Its popular not only with the “going around” couples but also with the married ones, who want to have a quick chat alone before they head home and are surrounded by galore other responsibilities and relations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well if you haven’t guessed it till now, they are the METRO stations… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed this jus by chance a few days ago. At each of the stations, I saw couples there at the station (on the platform or outside the station), but not boarding the trains. Just sitting there and having a nice chat. And with the cool breezes in Delhi since the last few days, the population sitting &amp; relaxing there did indeed increase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well then, not just a better public transport system, but dear METRO is proving out to be a “Love Carrier” as well!!! :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(It sure is giving serious competition to the Barista and Cafes major % of customers.)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23457796-5095796157813758642?l=collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/feeds/5095796157813758642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23457796&amp;postID=5095796157813758642' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/5095796157813758642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/5095796157813758642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/2007/08/new-hang-out-for-couples-in-delhi_09.html' title='The new hang-out for couples in Delhi'/><author><name>Kanishka</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457796.post-4676722404277820834</id><published>2007-08-05T21:58:00.000+06:00</published><updated>2007-08-05T22:01:48.182+06:00</updated><title type='text'>Ends.....</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You promised not to change the path&lt;br /&gt;Or even as the lives would change&lt;br /&gt;We would still be friends n together&lt;br /&gt;But today its a different road altogether&lt;br /&gt;Only memories left with me&lt;br /&gt;Ur smiling face is all I see&lt;br /&gt;A sweet sad mood that engulfs me&lt;br /&gt;Sweet as I think about the happy times together&lt;br /&gt;About the few moments for which our paths crossed&lt;br /&gt;And as in the past I am engrossed&lt;br /&gt;Then is when the truth hits me&lt;br /&gt;Of your final departure today&lt;br /&gt;And it leaves me numb&lt;br /&gt;A strange reality it seems that doesn’t sink in&lt;br /&gt;I keep thinking its not goodbye&lt;br /&gt;Keep wishing...&lt;br /&gt;But in the end the mind tells me to believe&lt;br /&gt;And heart says may u have a peaceful journey ahead&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But u promised even as the lives changed&lt;br /&gt;we would still be friends n together….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nitesh agarwal - We will miss you ... 5th august 2007 ...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23457796-4676722404277820834?l=collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/feeds/4676722404277820834/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23457796&amp;postID=4676722404277820834' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/4676722404277820834'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/4676722404277820834'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/2007/08/ends.html' title='Ends.....'/><author><name>Kanishka</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457796.post-4475467745581469050</id><published>2007-07-31T23:03:00.000+06:00</published><updated>2007-07-31T23:05:20.575+06:00</updated><title type='text'>A Girls’ Day out – July 28, 2007</title><content type='html'>Well I had one girls’ day out recently and by Jove it was no less than a movie sequence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;We got together, we got lost and found, we fought, reached the destination and we danced and we ran from the police!&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We, bole to, me and my engg college pals-Pooja, Vandy, Poonam and Rashmi, we all decided to meet this Saturday and go to a day disc. Well first of we found out a disc in South Delhi which was a day disc (being uninitiated to the disc circuit this was a task!). Finally we met at a place which was supposedly near to that disc. Me rashmi pooja arrived from one corner of Delhi. Poonam from other and we dictated to Vandy where to reach. Hugs, yippees and oooh &amp; aahs and the admiration of each other dresses later, our guide, Miss Pooji, calls up another auto. We 5, hustle &amp; justle into one auto (thank god two of my friends are “haddis”) and ask it take us to place called Srinivaspuri. We reach the place. The disc is in E block. Pooji gets down from the auto and goes to the shopkeepers nearby to ask the exact location. We get busy in our chit chat. 5 minutes later she hasn’t returned n we are like why hasn’t she returned, we peep out. Lo &amp; behold she is talking to a 70 year old guy, to ask the way to a DISC!!!!!!!!!!! &lt;br /&gt;Enterprising!!&lt;br /&gt;Vandy says, she will get that old chap here. It was the truth. She returned and so did the old chap, saying” beta I will tell you the way.” He speaks to the auto wala-“A-Z sare block hei yahan. aap jao seedha, take right, wahan kooodedaan(dustbin) aaega, wahi ghus jana bas. Bas wahi se left n fir right, bas E block aa jaega.” There are some street kids behind him saying, “ yeh pagal hei, iski baat mat sunna.” We anyways move ahead, see a koodedaan, so we are like E block should be nearby. But its 1 pm and theres no disc going junta on the road. Press wallahs and dhobis only. We ask them the place, they are not aware. We see a kirana shop and we ask him. He enlightens us. There is no E block in Srinivaspuri!!!!!! We are cursing the old chap. And we look at Pooji, where is the place?? We are definitely lost. We ring up our friends at home who might be knowing of the place or have internet at home. Luckily there is an internet café nearby. We decide to check the place’s address. It turns out it is at the same place from where we had all taken an auto. Hmphh. Pooji also shows the yellow pages web site where she had looked up the address, and sure it was still there, with Srinivaspuri still in it. We had full intention of suing that site up!! Once more towards the destination. On the way back we see the same old chap, and we had a strong urge to give our piece of mind to him. Its 2 pm. We land up at the actual address. Finally!!! Gurls ready to party.:-). Out with the hair brushes and deos and lip glosses. Getting ready over. . Approach the door. We hear loud music.Happy and big broad smiles. We ask, “What are the entry charges?” The person at the door looks at us as if we are aliens. We ask again, u have a day disc here? He says oh that, that closed a year ago. We are in a residential area. The famous Delhi sealing closed down the noise making places. . Uaaaaaah. Our heart is ready to break. But we won’t give up so soon. We are out to party and party we will. We had a back up plan. We ask the personnel about the other options. He gives us 3 choices- v2, Velocity and RPM, and advices RPM crowd is better. Well RPM it is. Another auto. 20 minutes later we are there, Finally. Now this was finally FINALLY. But by now we are hungry and thirsty. So we decide on a quick lunch. So freshlimes and snacks and 30 minutes more later we enter the disc. With the stamp on ur hands we are ready to stomp. The music began and so did the swaying. College friends, music and dance on the disc floor, what more could one ask for? Bliss. It was. Even though music wasn’t so great and was all Punjabi. The Bar tender lit up a portion of the drinks bar with some kinda fire and it was fun to see. Smoke on the dance floor and we. Few good looking guys to watch around and whistled oh we did. Hippies in us awake, wide awake, junglee dance. Tired. Ordered drinks (mocktails &amp; cocktails). More dance, more fun, more like old times. Careless, carefree and enjoying just the moment. Well all that’s well doesn’t continue for long. After 2 hours only, one of the RPM guys came to all the dancing junta and said please vacate, police is gonna be here soon. Hustle bustle, mad crowd wanting to rush out. Say police, and everyone wants to disappear, so did we. We just ran towards the exit. Not asking why. Later on when we were safely out on the road, we wondered whether it was just a trick to make people vacate the place to hold a reserved private party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well whatever. Anyways I had to be back home and head out for a dance class at 730pm. On the way back, it was lovely rainy weather and hence sang songs in the auto.

A real life incident that just happens to have happened to 4 of my very own classmates of VGSOM! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cast of the movie: Samrat Chauhan, Pravin Choudhary, Vishal Mittal and our very own CR-Kavnish Gupta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Living in a PG in kolkatta, on one of the dry dull weekend Saturdays of the internship, they decide to have a Guys type Daaru paty. They arrange their choice of liquor and but the landlord comes sniffing. The guys are in biiiiiiig trouble, but try not to show it( after all a manager in how ever tough a situation has learn to bluff to the client that all is ok! This skill sure came in handy). He looks around all corners of the room and searches with a biiiiiig floodlight. The stuff is right at his feet, and he doesn't find it somehow (bollywoood screaming!) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well he finally he goes but not before a warning. The chums decide to wait for some time before they got started with the party. The party is as usual, rounds of liquor, snacks, music, "dil ki baatein", cribs about vagaries of life, how fair or unfair it is and well until 4 am. After that time to stop, tomorrows office people! So by 5 am it is all wrapped up and soon they are fast asleep. But some time after Pravin hears someone roaming around the room. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He says "Koun hei be? Abhi se kyun uth gaya, IBM thode na jana hie, so jaa, wahan waise bhi kounsa kaam hei!!!". It is Kavnish. He has to atone for the "vella" time spent at IBM, and hence has to visit the ISCKON temple. So he tells Pravin, that he is leaving for the temple, its 7am. Some time after, again Pravin is woken up by some footsteps. Hes like, "Abe abhi tak gaya nahi kya and mere laptop ke sath kya kar raha hie tu?". He gets no reply. He turns and faces the person and tries to open his eyes a wink. He sees the person is lot more short in height than the favorite CR. He opens his eyes a little more. His half sleep brain does a quick face matching and finds out it's not one of his flat mates. He is wiiiiiiide awake, realizing that it's a thief who's trying to run away with his loved Laptop. He grabs the thief (lucky for Pravin that the thief is thinner than him). He asks the others to wake up and quick. Half asleep, Samrat and Vishal are asking him what is the urgency, it aint 9 am yet. Pravin mentions the word "thief". They are up and out of bed. They triad hold him and make him sit down on the floor. Sam stands guard (after all he is the Haryanvi Jat, known for strength!). Pravin goes in to call the Landlord. He comes and so does the aas paas ke kholi wali junta! Seeing the thief, they are all in rage. Well now that the public is there, they all start beating the thief up. All their lives' frustrations being taken out on the poor thief. More public joins in. The triad is just standing there, a spectator, no indulging in beating (the soft hearted souls don't believe in beating up the goon). The "junta" some how lays hands on leather belt lying on a table nearby. Thief gets beaten up all the more; he is still denying the theft charges. He somehow manages to convince Vishal that he had just come to collect some donation money for some foundation and had no intentions of theft. Well whatever, police is called for and arrives as always, at the end. Police takes the thief away. The public sees no more use for their karate skills, so the crowd thins off. Landlord told the triad to be a little more careful in future. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pravin is the HERO of the day. He is happy and proud of himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just then Kavnish enters and says,"what is all the commotion about; people are talking about some thief?" Hmmpph. They all brief him up and now Kavnish is scared, thief and in their PG, lest he comes again, for a revenge with more of his mates. None of the others are interested. They are way too sleepy and well back to sleep soon. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE END&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I think no one made the report for summers and discussion on the incident took rest of their weekend. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Story Narrator: Kanishka Bhambhani&lt;br /&gt;16 July 2007&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23457796-3009036265863511970?l=collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/feeds/3009036265863511970/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23457796&amp;postID=3009036265863511970' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/3009036265863511970'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/3009036265863511970'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/2007/07/sachchi-yeh-kahani-hei.html' title='Sachchi yeh kahani hei.....'/><author><name>Kanishka</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457796.post-1705857308553841254</id><published>2007-07-13T18:25:00.001+06:00</published><updated>2007-07-13T18:25:54.777+06:00</updated><title type='text'>Illusions - Book Review</title><content type='html'>I read “ILLUSIONS” by Richard Bach yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;It talks about that in our lives everything we see is an illusion, all that happened or is happening or will happen is a myth that we create for our own selves. It is what we want it to be, happy, sad, too much work, no work, idle, meaningful, useless, whatever we think/imagine it to be, it is that. And when we can understand that we can change the events that shape up in our lives, we can walk on water, we can drown on solid land, get any thing to float and ok any one with diseases, because the world is what we think it to be. If we think the diseased to be healthy, he will become so. If we think water to be solid we will be able to walk on it and so forth. And death is just a state of transition from the current time space to the other. Magic tricks by magician is not anything else but an illusion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Written well yes, stimulating, but not quite. Seems like a story only. It verges on the category of fiction and preaching. Had it meant to be in the fiction category it would have included more of miracles and stuff called illusions. He tries to guide in that direction, but not quite. So I didn’t get what exactly is this American author here trying to say? Is he trying to give the long seen abilities in the Asian yogis, a logic? Or is he justifying all the unexplained. In that I don’t think he succeeds. Is he trying to write just a story or is there a moral or way of life preaching in it? That he might succeed to some extent. And how is it that the American n other western skeptic audience believing it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, has moral some teachings in it, but the messiah concept for everyone or for even one-seems to me a bit too stretched.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23457796-1705857308553841254?l=collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/feeds/1705857308553841254/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23457796&amp;postID=1705857308553841254' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/1705857308553841254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23457796/posts/default/1705857308553841254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://collectionsthroughtime.blogspot.com/2007/07/illusions-book-review.html' title='Illusions - Book Review'/><author><name>Kanishka</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23457796.post-4189472633533878997</id><published>2007-07-13T14:38:00.000+06:00</published><updated>2007-07-13T16:46:41.705+06:00</updated><title type='text'>Meena Bazaar of the new age</title><content type='html'>&lt;font color="99FF99"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the best thing about being in a CP office?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believe me it is not the PVR nor the restaurants here that match up to something else that is here – JANPATH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a small lane which has shops lined up on both the sides, selling a mound of stuff. From clothes, shoes, slippers, junk jewelry to books, watches, bags, belts, vases, flowers and all the other jing bangs you can think of! All of this stuff very “in” fashion and very kooooool for the pocket. Warning: the place is not for the brand freaks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well you can say it’s a girls’ paradise. &lt;br /&gt;( It was totally boring with two of the guy friends I went there with, they just couldn’t understand the concept!!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is its charm? How do I explain?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well imagine then a group of gals, chattering non stop and shopping together. Hopping from one shop to the other and checking out the different variety of the trendy, hot, sober, formal, hip, short long clothes. Looking for tops, t shirts, jaipuri kurtas or the long frilly frocks. Or trying to match the junk jewelry with the clothes just shopped. The shop to shop mix of both Indian and western styles.  A girl can look as western as she wants and the foreigners can look as Indian as they like. The fun part is not only the shopping, but the bargaining as well, you can say less than 50% of the price and get the item for it. So the winner is the one who can bargain the most! Then after all that hopping and shopping, you can hog on the spicy sprouted moong ki daal ka chat or have a biiiiig papad to munch on. Or relish the patty burger type of snacks and a cool milk shake from the shop just behind the bazaar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s a total “gals day out” kind of hang out. You can say the new day Meena Bazaar (a bazaar for the queens n princesses of Lal quila in the old times).&lt;br /&gt;I have been there almost every fortnight in my graduation and now again that I m here so near to it, I went there with my internship pals. It was more fun than ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A simple place, with no frills, perfect for hanging out and having fun.&lt;br /&gt;Ideal for the gurls to catch up on life, boy friends, movies and the vagaries beyond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

freedom of movement n spirit.&lt;br /&gt;something like that there should be no need of worrying at all on the folks end , the place where we live in should not be unsafe based upon gender...Equality in respect and attitude and action and string of thoughts towards a human bcos the person is a human not bcos a person is a gal/guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That any point of time when a girl wants to

type='text'>Wings On Fire...</title><content type='html'>Me and my classmates at VGSOM went to an air force base station yesterday - occasion – an off from the college – Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s birth anniversary and Saraswati Puja. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The class trip was a courtesy of the Indian Air Force officers in our class. The Kalaikunda base station where we went is one of the largest in the Eastern Indian region. It sure was an out of the world experience - to see the daily life of the IAF officers first hand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well lemme begin with the most impressive of the lot first - &lt;br /&gt;The MIGs’ flying practice sessions - :) ...&lt;br /&gt;The MIGs taking off one after the other and disappearing into oblivion - the Mirage taking off almost vertically into the air ...and the ATC guiding them back to the ground... all in perfect synchronization and with the required precision...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was all breath taking... power and precicion - in tandem!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best of the lot were the almost vertical take offs of the MIRAGE 2000 – as soon as the tyres lifted from the ground the plane took off into the air at a very steep angle – almost vertical! It was a treat to the eyes and infact for us it was a TRIPLE TREAT – we saw 3 take offs one after the other!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wings on Fire&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; was the only thing that came to my mind after seeing these....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there were the static displays (models put out to display) of various MIGs and Mirages an rescue chopper. Now ladder was put upto the cockpit of one of the MIG 27 n one could see the controls in a mig cockpit - believe me one gets staggered- there were about a 100 controls in a small cockpit of size of about your chair seating space. But the best part was sitting in a fighter chopper and operating the controls ...obviously it was jus a dummy control and we were still on the ground, but the rudders etc moved and we had the view and the feel of being inside a chopper – now who gets to that daily? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also saw the ammunition for the various fighter planes lined up in front of us!!!&lt;br /&gt;From the smallest of the bullet bombers to practice missiles to the big missiles, various sizes and payloads..whoa! It was a little overwhelming to see them there and to know that they were not jus dummies but live bombs!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Then was the turn of the servicing station for these huge giants..... ( oh by the way, each of these fighter plane costs around Rs.200 Crores and each sottee ( that’s a flight take off and landing) - consumes about 1100 liters of fuel and 5 lakh of rupees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the servicing station we saw these MIGs all opened up with each of their component being checked and serviced if required - the uncountable number of controls in d cockpit and the function. Some other control systems that we could see from the outside -the radar detection equipment, the mechanism to hide from the radar detectors of the enemy, the laser mechanism used to lock on the missile to its target, the hydraulic system of the (which was infact designed by an 8th class Russian student, and was the most complex in the world).Then there was the whole engine opened up – separated from its shell and buoy it had everything in the world in it in the small space available – its was a piece of engineering! A wing control mechanism – an air conditioning unit  – a bombing mechanism – an altitude gauging system – an air pressure gauging system – and obviously a cockpit panel data providing system, a hydraulic system, and an ejection mechanism for the pilot, are to name a few of what an engine had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The service or the part checking generally happens after 50 hours or 100 hours or 200 hours of flying – as per the specification of that particular plane model.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All this display was accompanied with numerous questions from our end, which were answered by the Air Force Officers - very patiently and repeatedly and they themselves took pains to explain all the systems and activities etc to us.&lt;br /&gt;It was an awesome experience.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The unforgettable experience was topped by a scrumptious, lip smacking lunch at the Officers Mess. We being the hostel students you can imagine - how much we liked it ;) .. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Well on the return journey- inspired by the fighter plane histrionics – we too manufactured quite a few of our own – ahem the difference - that they were of paper – but hey we succeeded in bombing the sleepy classmates and waking them up from their slumber!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that was about it .......... a great outing and a memorable experience!&lt;br /&gt;Lemme see if I can get hold of a few pictures that were taken. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trip on -23rd January 2007&lt;br

type='text'>diwali at vgsom</title><content type='html'>Diwali this time around was at vgsom ,iit kharagpur ... n it was awesome ...&lt;br /&gt;Rangoli n ILLU ( illumination ) are contests held every year at IIT Kgp.In this competition each of the 14 halls at iit kgp have to draw a huge rangoli , depicting any theme they want.The size is like huge - can be sumthing like 10 feet by 20 feet.&lt;br /&gt;and then theres illumination where using mitti diyas one has to depict a theme different from rangoli.&lt;br /&gt;how is it done ? - it is done on a bamboo chatai. First of all the theme is drawn upon the bamboo chatai. then at cross points wired loops are tied . These are like hanging baskets for mitti diyas - in which oil is filled. n there upon at the time of the competition the whole scene is lit up and this has to be done within 2 minutes, cos after that the flames jus become un manageable !!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;n its huge - believe me its huge - n theres no limit ... minimum sizes of illu depictions that i have seen is 10 feet by 10 feet. so u can jus imagine the scale ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;n its beautiful ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time around MMM hall ( which has VGSOM block) is participating in the rangoli and illumination contest as one team.&lt;br /&gt;All the blocks are working together and its turning out to be a good inter block interaction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the rangoli, India shining, optical illusion, radha krishan,mahabharat were some of the themes were discussed upon....&lt;br /&gt;Finally, after a lot of brain storming and guidance from Gautam Sinha Sir, the theme was finally decided upon.&lt;br /&gt;The venue for rangoli is the common room of SDS(VGSOM) block hostel itself.&lt;br /&gt;N so began the Rangoli work with the drawing of the theme picture.... n buoy hats off to the sketchers - who have been able to draw on such a huge scale with such perfection.&lt;br /&gt;Then came the endless color filling part n hey it’s some work!!!&lt;br /&gt;Shifts of people working in the evenings, uncounted student hours n tireless work of all block students together as a team, has brought it to an almost-done shape.&lt;br /&gt;The miracle is unfolding slow n steady.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being in kharagpur this is one exp that we surely won’t forget....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other side of it, diya holders were readied along side ... with a record of 4000 being readied on d first day - d batch sure is enthusiastic about this event....in all only 25000 diyas were used ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now today they are being put up on the stand n readied for day after tomorrow ...d theme for the same is also interesting.&lt;br /&gt;The theme chosen was : how iit shapes life if an iitian and how iitian shaoe this world....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gautam Sinha sir and his wife has really guided n grilled us along with this event.&lt;br /&gt;He has been here every night n been a motivating force to the batch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its been a bonding event and brought all of us together as a big family ... n the feeling is awesome.&lt;br /&gt;Doesnt make u miss home at the special occasion of Dipawali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not the least, heres wishing you all,&lt;br /&gt;A very very Happy Diwali !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zorpia.com/nishankag/album/667675"&gt;a glimpse of it all ...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div

430am;&lt;br /&gt;On your own without the alarm shrieking in your ears,&lt;br /&gt;There has to be something wrong with you or you have to be going through mba exams&lt;br /&gt;Well with me it’s the latter…&lt;br /&gt;Getting up at 6 30 is one thing but taking it to be 8 30 am after reading a digital clock is entirely insane…&lt;br /&gt;N then thinking oh hell exam in half an hour n also “oh hell minimum threshold course left :-o !!!” – is the height of craziness insanity n panic n funny later on!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well having gone through it myself, I can say all this ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;N you know what, realizing after 2 minutes that hey its only 6 30 am n 6 30 is actually 2 hours away from 830 am n you are on time n you can still do a minimum threshold course to pass is a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig relief. Believe me it is …n later on you are able to laugh on it also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was POM (Production n operations management) paper. &lt;br /&gt;P.S. :I didn’t sleep in the exam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;N Today it was OSD (organizational structure n design).&lt;br /&gt;N alarm or phone was ringing, n it was my dad calling in, n I was like hell I slept from 7 to 7:45am. How cud I??? – chalo at least course left is only half n more n so doable ..&lt;br /&gt;But hey my dad decided to call in late n the actual time is 8 15am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Why, why me??&lt;br /&gt;I managed to that course left in d 10 odd minutes left.&lt;br /&gt;But kya fayda – paper to out of course aaya!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways I will try n do better time n sleep management next time – I promise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh shucks – my legs are crossed!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19 september 2006&lt;br /&gt;Nish&lt;br /&gt;Vgsom&lt;br /&gt;First

his friends n foes alike, &lt;br /&gt;“NO PROBLEMO!!!” is his fav word as he doesn’t see any spike! &lt;br /&gt;A sharp mind that travels at the speed of light, &lt;br /&gt;Good dancer too, but then that’s a rare sight! &lt;br /&gt;Absolute Passion for his work, &lt;br /&gt;At work no problem can irk and no work does he shirk..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A humbleness in him that sometimes does baffle,&lt;br /&gt;What all else lies beneath is difficult to unravel!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Oh n when you ask him he would simply smile …&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes what u see is a li’l boy,&lt;br /&gt;With wonder in his eyes,&lt;br /&gt;N who’s mesmerized!&lt;br /&gt;Raw emotions in his eyes he’s able to hide&lt;br /&gt;He’s there for his friends,&lt;br /&gt;But he himself goes into a hide…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Innocence n loyalty – unlike the ocean&lt;br /&gt;But then somewhat like the ocean -&lt;br /&gt;Serenity on the surface,&lt;br /&gt;Along with an unfathomable depth, emotions, questions n secrets unto him …..&lt;br /&gt;This would tell you a li’l about him &lt;br /&gt;A singer, nature lover, and a lot more&lt;br /&gt;But most of all a friend who would always greet u with a smile that reaches his eyes &lt;br /&gt;And a glow that is never dim..&lt;br /&gt;Not at all sly,&lt;br /&gt;A friend on whom you can unconditionally rely…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br
