You've got calls

Yes.

Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies and Institute of Rural Management, Anand(IRMA) have called me for the next round of GD-PI. But then this have not come without problems. Both of them have scheduled this process on the same ay in different cities. So efforts are on to try and reschedule my interviews with one of these institutes so than i can attend the interviews of both of them. Hoping that things work out for the better.

Though I have attended the NMIMS process earlier, this time it is not going to be a cakewalk especially since I would have to give out some serious gyaan on why I have been sitting on my arse and doing nothing(according to them...i have done lots..but not worthy of mention from the yem-bee-yay aspect) since 2004. Whatever is in store for me, I ll go ahead with the best possible attitude that will hopefully hold me in good stead.

These calls for the next round and probably the few ones that hopefully are on the way, I feel that the are the moments that i would seize the moment and not let it slip. Eminem does rap pretty good. Not always though.

P.S:And regarding Karma Part 2. I have been kinda hardpressed for time, but will complete it soon and will be posting it too.

Karma - Part 2

Picked up myself from where i left off without putting too much thought into the results i started working.Where? the last place i would have recommended to anybody?In a call center. Why? maybe becoause these competitive exams had such an impact on my confidence that i lost it all. I must admit that i have the utmost respect for all the agents working there at nights but then that is not where i wanted to see myself. Some major serious introspection and i decided to go for the exams once more. With the intention being the same. Best b-schools of the country. 3 months of preparation ...slogging my ass off...and all back to square one...the same college has called me for their interview process, for the other exams where i did do pretty well the colleges have been pretty selective about the candidates that they wanted even for the next round of GD processes. So now with things kinda falling in place with 2 calls in hand right now, I am not quite sure how the panel at the interview are gonna buy whatever story I 'm going to throw at them as to why I want to do an MBA and all that kinda stuff...Anyways all I can do is to hope for the best .......and of course be prepared for the worst.

Come what may, even if i dont I want rue the time I have lost till now. But the fact is that I will have to run a lot more faster to get where i wanted. And by hell, I will.

Karma - Part 1

Hmmm..Let me start where I left off...

One of those days while I was staying with my brother after my graduation during my holidays, he told me how to go about things and not think too much about results.As long you give your best that is what matters. All that talk did make a whole lot of sense, but then now I have been asking myself whether that is all that is there to it? Is it all that matters? And very often I get answers that it is not all that matters...

Now why am I writing all this in the first place?

To explain all that I ll have to back in time...

2004 - I competed my graduation and I thought that I ll sit and prepare for few exams that will get me through for an MBA admission somewhere or the other.Prefarably the top b-schools in the country. But then that was not to be. I lost the game. Got knocked down. Some near misses as far as few results were concerned and a lot of them by a long shot. Places where I did get through the writtens I could not make it through in the next rounds of interview. I got up again. Results did bother me. Why? Why did it bother me so much? I did give my best. Where did i go wrong?Was something wrong the way i went about things? Or was it that some other way of letting me know that I was not cut out for such things. So what do I do? I had lost one year. Have to do something now.Come On!! think!!think!!think!!act!!act!!act!! That was all that went in my head while I was awake in the evening s getting ready for the shifts. while shitting, wile brushing my teeth, while talking to my folks over the phone, while being with my friends, while polishing those shoes , while washing my clothes...i had to do something about it

To know more wait for "karma - part 2"

Actually who am i kidding here? Who am I telling to wait and see karma part 2. I am pretty sure I am the only one reader who ever writes or even views this blog.I would be lying if i said that it does not matter to me whether no one reads it. But then things are easier this way because I dont have to put too much thoughts into what has been going on in my weird head. These rambling thoughts dont have to go through spell check or grammer check because I m the only one inconvenienced by it. But then from now I ll make the serious effort of punctuating my sentences as well as i can. and avoid using the .....(dots) to indicate the long pauses of thought as to what to write and whether to write that, etc. Why does not anyone read my blog? cos i like i that way. i have no plans of letting peple know that i am writing this blog. how long will this continue? I dont know that. Will I keep updating without anyone to comment on what I am writing? All I can say to that is: HELL!! OH YEAH !!

my brother

i have to admit that i dont talk all that much with my brother...i dont know why it is...but more often i think its more because we already know what the other could be thinking and how one is going to respond to certain things that the other may ask...at one point of time i never thought that i ll understand my brother so much..in fact i may have not done that yet or actually i may not ever be even close to understanding him...but there is something about him that is so encouraging...i have never ever told this to anyone but i would anyday turn to my brother if i need any sort of advice or suggestion or even few words of encouragement...its just his words that kinda motivate you to do better and all that kinda stuff u may or may not understand that i m talking about...he tends be so blunt and frank about things...some people say that it is not the best thing to do...but i would always like to take suggestions from such kinda people...

i started this this post with the idea of writing something that my brother had told me a few months back regarding my studies and all that however i have been straying away all along have write more about that in few installments i guess... wait for part 1 soon...dunno how many parts gonna be there to this story...maybe 1 or 10...i ll just let it flow...thats all i could do...

Sleep...

i dunno whats been happening to me ... i have not been able to sleep properly for the last few nights...and i have been trying to find out the reasons that could be the reasons for them...another important thing that is recurring is the dreams that i have been getting... all of a sudden it seems angelina joile and her peers have been completely out of the picture and right now taking her place for the last night were the reptiles...the reasons i think that can be attributed to in the decreasing order of it being directly linked to my sleep...

1. could be b'cos of the ciggie tha i tried while i was away in bangalore...i have always had this kinda sleep whenever i smoke when something kinda takes me over and just take the solitary puff...i m pretty sure i m not gonna get hooked on to it for sometime soon for reason that could be more than one...

2. too much of the coffee that i have been drinking..

3. thinking about what is in store for me..more so because things are kind seem to be a deja vu for me even though i have spent a lot of time doing this thing called CAT all over again and screwing it up too and last but not the least just one call till now..that is deja vu for me(and i hope it ends there so that i can exoxt more calls than last time).....especially b'cos of the results of the few exams that i have written to be out in the coming weeks...

4. have not played badminton for the last few days...how is it badminton linked to my sleep you might be thinking...well it is...thats all i can say my mate...i have always slept well when i have jumped or paled some game or the other ..be it basketball, badminton or cricket..

5. about this thought that how i have not been putting in efforts and have been just whiling away my time..

6. had a few more reasons at the backof my head but all kinda fadin away cos i m feeling sleepy now.... ;-)

gotta get my arse moving...i gotta get ready for my classes...

ps: i simply love the way brits have the english accent: especially in words like bottle and of course the my favourite being : "Up your arse" "you are such a stupid dork"

pps: going to be posting more frequently here from now on at least for the next few weeks i suppose...

me currently listening to : love me two times :- THE DOORS
