Everything that begins, has an end!!!
So does my preparation!!
It ended up on a day a few months back and since then, I have finished one month in the college of my dreams, an IIM (K to be precise, but then dreams are hardly ever precise, rite??).
So now what?
Am I expected to be all grim and serious? Are my goals in life supposed to be all that much clearer? Or am I supposed to be a bigger pain in the ass right now?
Well, I find the answers to all these questions to be more on the negative side. MBA isn't all that different from an engineering, in fact, it is possi ble that it is more fun for a lesser period of time.
People who want to study can study, people who want to chill out are always allowed to do so.
So from now on, its back to blogging on the most nonsensical topics I can imagine... Life at IIM K will not be reported here. For that Sanat is making a new blog, lets see what happens in that!
But till then,
keep coming back here!

The OFFICIAL labyrinth
Have you ever had the feeling that you were lost?
That whatever you do, you cannot get out of it with the fruit of your efforts?
Kind of what Harry Potter would have felt in the Triwizard tournament?
It is possible that some time down the line, you do have such a situation in your life. And as they say, practice can make you prepared for any kind of eventuality. So (I hope you catch my drift)
Practice getting lost in a labyrinth. Practice going from one place to the other without any sense of being. Practice walking around with your head down moving from one clue to the other with no hope of actually solving the puzzle. Practice by.... going to any government office to get a signature which attests the marks which you obtained a whole eon ago.
Aah. The bliss! The pleasure! The sheer relaxation! Let me recount a story which will further prove the point that being lost in a labyrinth can be very very very very enjoyable.
To start off, lets just imagine a certain honest court place where a lot of honorable lawyers are having a ball. When people like us approach them, the smile on their face is so good, so pleasing, kind of like... "Aah I thanketh lord for the food on my table". It gives you a sense of satisfaction which nothing else can probably give you ever. When they tell you the charge of their services in getting you the required signature, it is so less, that it just breaks your heart and leave them to their philanthropic acts.
Because you realise that just next door is this huge huge building which is supposedly swarming with the all elusive GAZZATED officers. Then when a person asks you to go to the 16th floor (yup, seriously) to get one measly signature... well, you just feel glad you were born in the first place.
Moving on, the 16th floor? or was it 18th? or maybe 14th? naah.. it was none of them. Because of a scandal which broke out a few months ago, all the officers have been shocked into nobility. So they refuse to sign and give you a hint of what a ping pong ball feels when she goes around from this end of the table to the other end with apparently no possibly motive.
Hell, that sweet lawyer's measly fees actually appears endearing all of a sudden... But then you realise, that the helpful man won't be able to get you the "gazzated" officer's signature. Here comes the twist, you have to go to a hospital to get the signature (did no-one see Munnabhai MBBS while making these kinda rules???).
But moving forward, in the hospital.... The dudes and dudettes are roaming around with apparently nothing to do but guide us poor misguided souls towards the gazzated officers. And when we meet them, their fees is even more humble than the dear old lawyers.
It is at this point, at around 2:30 pm in the after noon, you realise the true essence of life... And why is the answer to life itself and everything else is always 42!!!
Please, go thru this experience at least once in your lifetime... It is an enriching experience.
GOD SPEED!

Life at present
I know I know... I am not really a person who gets frustrated easily. Infact the people who do know me, think that I live life in a state of constant *high* (if u know what I mean).
But, as is pretty obvious, that is soooo not true... In fact I only get high every other weekend and that too in a single can of beer... Stay as far away from marijuana as possible...
aah but me diverts.. Back to what I want to say..
So as I was saying, I have been staying in a state of perpetual cheerfulness for so long that I can't remember when was the last time I actually gave vent to all the emotions which have been welling up inside of me (naaah, not tears man :D ).
Ok, so its like this... I have grown tired of working in the company (even though I do little but surf the net). I have grown tired of the daily routine of monotonous life!! I hate it when nothing of worth is happening around me. The only notable thing in my life being, when I have my next IIM Call.. n I don't mean that in a bad way..
But things were so, so different back in college... I was the KAPOOR, the CHAAT, the POPLI.. around whom the whole chemical dept stayed (abusing me if u'd like to know but still..). The point I am trying to make is, that until last year, I was surrounded by activity and responsibility. Now, I am just another insignificant dude who has enough brains to get into a job and is not unemployed!!! :mg:
So, this whole "unimportance of the Anarchy" (lets say) is really starting to bother me... I have started growing irritable... impatient... and all the things which I do not want to be... but I can't help it... Surrounded by people who do not share the same passions as me (barring PG friends of course).. it can really get to you..
aaahhhh... My dear Ravishankar.. kidhar hai tu.... Last year I was able to remain sane because of you!!!!
This post is not for people to know me, judge me or anything like that.. Its just that I am fucking tired of my life and I just want it out of my fucking system so that I can start concentrating on ending this kind of life as soon as possible!!!!! :mad:
chuuu.. am really off mood now...
will write something better in some time!!!

So, if you wanna know what I am doing etc etc, you are free to post your comments here!!!
