FASHION....DAROOO...BEWADAAS!!

The monotonous classes, presentations, guest lectures and the PPTs(we call it "pandu presents trash") are not the only way a MBA grad lives his life. We also get to let our hair loose...(well the girls in our college get to do it every day..they call it fashion...yeeeeps).

So now that i have said MBA grads also party sometime .Ok!!.. i guess few of the readers might object to the word 'some'.. and would want it to be replaced by 'always'...but remember..i don want my potential recruiters to belive i am jobless.(phutack!!! my classmate hits me..saying...the whole world knows u are jobless!!) So much for my image!!! sheesh...

Well getting on track..where was I???..yeah about partying and letting our hair loose...

We had the unofficial freshers party hosted by our seniors..which was unofficial for the reasons known to all---ethanol. Well the party was hosted in a pool side open area...And as you all know it was the occasion for all the boys and girls to get super dressed(thank my generosity for calling all boys and girls..) . I said super dressed...not dressed like super man or woman...well....errr!!! though i did spot few entries eligible for halloween costume party...lets not get into the details of that...

Well talking about getting dressed for the ocassion...The preparation in the hemu villa was quite frantic...Wear Shirt, jeans and shoe and......tada!!!! ready!..we call this super dressed by our standards..coz daily to college we pick up random dress and wear it... we don't even bother to figure out if we are wearing a jean...errr...sorry!!sorry!!...wrong pair of socks or not.

But i heard a different story about the preparation in the girls hostel for the event...

Source: insider mole.

1. I heard that in the 3 days build up to the fresher's night.. the owner of the women's beauty salon near the women's hostel got a new mercedes...thanks to the high percentage client visit and cash inflow. I am still wondering what could be the reasons for such a high influx of customers.

2. Someone spotted a lakhme stall just outside the hostel.. a strategic exercise to tap into the high market demand for their products

3. I also heard that all of a sudden ritu beri, ritu kumar clones were spotted in the hostel premises giving tips on various party wears.

(I swear..this is the Heights of sarcasm...girls of my college are going to kill me someday..sos!! sos!! Zee plus security needed!!!)

Finally the party day arrived and every one was in a party mode...And yours truly was also into the party mode...But only one thing was missing... A dance partner...But alas....i din have that trouble also... I managed to a get a good looking girl of our college as my dance partner...The story about convincing her to dance with me and the real experience in the party is exclusively reserved for another post in this blog. For maintaining her privacy and the basic rules of personal identity in a blog i have not posted her photo...however you can access her foto in her webpage.

The minute i entered the pub my heart went for a holiday to honu-lu-lu. It could not take the shock anymore...u want the reason?- So many models in the pub!!!...for a moment i thought mithibai college girls had gate crashed into the party. But nope...it was NMIMS women batallion.

whoa!!!! There it goes...the shock was as good as having three shots of taquilla.

("damn it u !@#!@#!@ srinath..will u now come out of this girls topic!!!!")well that was my girl friend calling up to give a friendly warning...hmph!!!..okie lets move on with the other dimension of this party

Hmmm now it was time for everyone to make merry and dance their way to glory.

First round...gulp!!! Second round...gulp!!!........................eighth round...gulp!!!

Now most of my friends were in the state of nirvana...and were even moon-walking across the pool!!!... i over heard one guy proclaiming himself to be George Bush...and even shook hands with another guy who proclaimed himself to be osama!!!! way to go...out here in mumbai..we were redefining world politics.

take a look at the league of extra-ordinary gentlemen after the dance and the party...

Look at my sleep deprived and tired eyes supporting the weight of fellow commorades...That is the true spirit of friendship...(no no no..not the other spirit... though i might look smashed...i was perfectly sobre that day..... :-) hope this innocent smile helps u guys believe me). People became a lil more affectionate towards me and in return i even got half boiled omlettes...(a similee used jus to omit the gory description of yuuwaaaaaaackkkkkk!!!!..he he he he he!!!)

and what do i have infront of me?... a valuable designer t shirt!!!

Well this was the small trailer of the freshers night we had....thanks to our seniors and organisers. they need a special mention for the good show they put up.

P.S

1. I hope girls of NMIMS don take it seriously.... i was jus joking... i know u all are a true sport..

2. How many of you visited that webpage of my date...i hope u will appreciate what u got out of it..wasn't i lucky?...he he he he he he he!!!!

3. Special thanks to all the talli..a.k.a bewadaa..a.k.a samshed people who provided for lot of amusement and eventful scenes in the party.

eat!!..khaoo!!...saapudu!!...kazhikinu!!..multi cultural food habits

Coming out of the protective confines of the Mom's home-made food... i have 2 whole years to just try out the culinary delights of india in a culturally vibrant city like mumbai...(hmmm... heights of hypocriticism!! I have not even tried 2-3 styles of cooking after coming to mumbai!! he he he he!!!)

No longer is my morning breakfast served right at my seat... I need to get up early and take a bath...(someday i am going to kill that guy who discovered the art of taking bath...such a waste of time and precious water!!..) get dressed and leave home and try finding place for breakfast somewhere...(try!!!..naaa!!!.. we scavange for food right from the morning!!)

and eventually we end up eating in the canteen for the vareity it gives us...(hmph!@#!@.. trying to be politically correct...we have vareity of dosas which has a dose of batter still left uncooked...then the sandwiches which is over in 1 and a half bytes...idlies for which we have sweet sambhar which tastes like jaggery...see the vareity we have!!!!).... well we chose the less lethal breakfast , eat and get to classes. After the series of lectures (yawn!!) we get grossly tired and our stomach rebels against functioning normally if we donot oblige to its cravings..so we are forced to have the most important meal of the day..namely lunch... well when i was in chennai..we had the so called concept-unlimited meals!!! but out here that is a sarcastic term...the only thing we get in unlimited quantity is water...and ofcourse the ALOO which is served in every meal of the day...(i even doubt if the morning milk and the energie that we drink is substitute of potato starch... even green vegetables have started lookin like the great lil devil ALOO)
we eat the ever so popular trio of dal roti and chawal. someday this is going to be our national food like the national animal,bird etc etc. The daily menu has become so monotonous that anyone who brings food from home...can only see the hands going in and coming out...before he can realise that the food he has brought has been devoured without mercy by the ever so gentlemen like students who jus came out of the dining ethiqutte classes in biz communication..he he he he(i always wonder.. why such a simple process of eating is complicated by this so called dining manners..its a definite no no for me!!)
Well in the night we get the food delivered at our place(no prizes for guessing the menu...i have even started having dal chawal dreams...) but on weekends we go out to eat...and to our amuse we find that almost all the restaurants are packed...i sometimes wonder why people come out to eat when they have the option of eating and enjoying the home cooked food...(for heavens sake..we bachelors shld be allowed first to eat at any restaurant...of course after the beautiful ladies who are waiting...after all we are still bachelors u see)
and finally after a long week we get a chance to eat the legs of chicken... brains of the goat...liver of the fish...tear the hands of chick...cut the stomach of the fish and break the bones the lil gotie..
ohhhhhhhhh..was that descrpition about non veg was very violent? If you feel so...please don call up peta...i was jus kidding... i don even eat egg....(blink!! blink!! staring innocently)
I just tried to sum up the feelings of carnivores who at the slightest chance of eating a moving creature can do anything for u...

hmmm.. this very much sums up the way we feed ourselves....to stay functional... its no more "eat well like a king and work hard like a labour"... "trying eating food first...then think about work"

insights into my student life!

Finally its time to get serious in life!! (nodding my head in disbelief!! it took me 22 years of struggle to find out what seriousness actually meant..and how to apply it in real life ...) Now that i have understood the gravity of the situation... its time for our heavy weight dude- seriousness to log into my brain component and give me the sense of responsibility in life. And guess what.. this is the correct time for me to get serious about life...management education...the chicks...party...mass bunk...bird watching...music...movies...err...sorry sorry...that was for some other post...typing error..i swear...believe me..damn it!!!!srinath be careful before letting out trade secrets.... we will once again rewind for the reader's benifit...this is the correct time for me to get serious about life...management education...the presentations...the cgpa...the summer and exec placements..corporate interaction. Hmmm.. now that i have become serious...what is the next step towards maintaining this tempo??? yeah u guessed it right..attend all the classes with rapt attention and understand the concepts clearly so that i can apply them in real life situations. And hence i have started a new journey as a responsible student... and first day afternoon class after lunch i get back to the class with the newly made resolution.... and five minutes into the class..i am listening to the concepts with immense concentration( my room mate gets up...and makes a violent gesture with his middle finger...and shouts at the top of his voice.."u jerk..all u have been doing in class is doze off five minutes into the lecture.. without even a speck of guilt") phew!!that violent gesture was not called for...amen.. junta agreed i sleep in classes which are real gyan types..but now to suit my new resolute image... i no more sleep in class (roomie again gets up in a angry mode) .. ok..ok...chillax...i will try not to sleep any more in class.

Now that i have discovered that sleep is the one thing that makes me not serious about life or education in particular..i decided to make the lectures interesting for myself by adding my 2 cents in the interpretation of business gyan or fundas...

yeah.. i have become a gyan guru for myself....self proclaimed remedy for the evil called ignorance.... he he he he.. my new avatar...

If u take a closer look at the pic u might notice that i am wearing tie on a tee...this is a strategic exercise to become totally professional in a casual environment...

Now in every class i come up with my own interpretation for the business jargons used...

1) class lecture on Business communication:

scenario: writing back to the customer denying the credit facility to him

Teacher says: we regret our inablilty to extend the credit facility for our new and medium sized customers.

I understand it as: You loser!!!.. we don't give credit facility for mediocre companies producing lolypop sticks...move on u sucker!!!!

2) class lecture on financial analysis:

The teacher says: the credit rating of this company is very poor and is liable of defaulting on loans offered to them.

I understand it as: This jerk of a company embezzles money from the banks and shows the the middle finger instead of paying the repayment amount!! their credibility is as high as insuring a suicidal moron!

3) Class lecture on Micro economics:

the teacher says:The price change in supplemenatary goods affects the demand of our primary goods.

I understand it as: snapping my finger!! this is such a simple concept....when a girl(supplementary goods) with new hairstyle and better looking attire is walking across your class door... u tend to forget or look beyond the girls(primary goods) in your class.

4) Class lecture on financial mathematics:

Teacher says: when a creditor charges a interest rate of rs 3 for hundred rupees borrowed payable in advance.. the effective rate of interest is 44.23 percent per annum.

I understand it as: what the F!@# .. this guy is a creditor or a loan shark... no dumb ass will end up paying 44 percent interest for the money borrowed...unless he is deeply madly and truly in love... err the analogy was for the mere fact that love is blind..and it often blinds the guy...(yeah yeah.. i can see my girl friend already trying to blind me for this statement...so in all probability..from next time I will be a physically challenged blogger..wow!! what a new term to coin!!!)

Phew!! With the new perspective on management subjects designed by me.. i am sure i have become much more serious about life and education and am able to view and visualise the larger picture called the reality...

But when i sit down to share this with my classmates...they jus laugh it off... what the hell!!!whats wrong in my perspective...is it not a new idea... or was it a still-born idea...

hmmm..time to put on the thinking cap...

signing off in deep introspection...is this a broken bulb or a birth of new bulb??

P.S: hi all.. this is srinath's inner voice...if u people think he is now in deep thinking mode after this so called heavy and serious post...please be enlightened that...he-the useless !@#!@#.. has gone back to his party ways again and never will be able to comprehend things seriously... coz seriousness and srinath - its an oxymoron.. cheers..
