I was evolving a new theory.&lt;br /&gt;AND here u have the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;theory of bewada evolution!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in the span of 9 months in bombay i have noticed too many wild wild people trying to pay ode to the spirit of spirits (was that sounding idiotic?). Err....actually to be very accurate i have noticed a pattern of behavior exhibited by the glorious &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;drunk and merry&lt;/span&gt; junta.&lt;br /&gt;So lets get to business and analyse these kinds......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Two  pitchers of KF and and one shot of hard liquor....HICK!!!! HICK!!! burp!!!&lt;br /&gt;    Now that can qualify as drunk by the standards of even a guy with KEG capacity....&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Symptoms: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Broad smile on face. "Buddy" this word is used more than 10 times in a conversation spanning 2 minutes. Oh!!! what a flourishing friendly love!..u might think. But the next 5 minutes will have conversations like this...." Buddy you are a Bas****!!", "Buddy what the F*** !! are u trying to make fun of me?" , "Buddy, get ur A** moving"&lt;br /&gt;these people start Swearing at will as if these words are going to be banned from tomo.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Haywards 5000 and 10000......emptied and arranged on the table like the nine pins....&lt;br /&gt;DRUNK? U bet... hell ya!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Symptoms:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are highly immobile people.... they come home in the oblivion and the most important activity for them the next 2-3 hours is going to be ..UUUUUUWWWWWAAAccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!! the jus download in broadband mode.....imagine this.... they even puke the paper chits they had swallowed in 6th std exams before being caught. The restroom is their den for teh whole night and even if u want to take a leak..u might want to think twice before asking them... or else u might have a pukey experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.    They analyse the balancesheets of the companies and decide which liquor to drink and get smashed...this is basically to increase the patronage for the sick  beer companies...... considerate people  in the making!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Symptoms:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Draw a straight line and ask them to walk along this straight line. If they end up drawing the LOCUS of lines or hyperbolas or parabolas. Then u can confirm that they are in different world altogether. Minimum 2 rambos required to transport these people back home. They have lost the art of walkin tall... or shld i say ..they have learnt the art of flying high..&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;HICK!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;4. These people just feel euphoric to say cheers. CHEERS!! gulp!!!! oops forgot to say cheers to shublet..... here u go CHEERS!!! ! gulp!!!second down......all of a sudden, he hears a CHEERS!!!! from the back.... gets outrageously angry..orders a third one....and raises a individual cheers in anger of being left out...... GULP....now all he can hear is cheers.....state of nirvana reached....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;SYMPTOMS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;basically you will notice the symptoms the next day..... this guy will be emerging out of bed the next day with his TIE, BLAZERS,&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;SHOES, SOCKS in tact. And he will unassumingly ask did i come late from the office yesterday. U will feel like swearing at him heavily for the CHEERS marathon he involved u in yesterday. Buy nonetheless bewadas never get the IRE of the public. its only the laughter...he he he he!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. These people are the most special...they can audition for broadway theatre and get the protagnist role coz their mood swings are world renown. All they need is some budweiser and fosters in their elite company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;SYMPTOMS: &lt;/span&gt;its all well and good till the last gulp of the 4th bottle goes in. Then they are one of  the most happy people in life.... here is a testimony.... one of my roomies(for the record...most paranoid when it comes to studies).. jus mention trimester 3, education, Finance paper, placements etc etc in front of him. If you don't hear any of the following reactions,&lt;br /&gt;1. OH!!!! S*** yaar, i have study....&lt;br /&gt;2. What the F***, there is so much to study&lt;br /&gt;3. Oh my god i am already mind f***ed&lt;br /&gt;4. i will go to the college for night studies from tomo...&lt;br /&gt;then u can safely assume he is drunk and merry. Infact most happy in his life. infact no one can get happier than this, if my roomie forgets abt studies even for a hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this evolution theory holds good in quite many circle i guess. and if u are able to find ur friend suiting one of these above mentioned profiles, then yeah have proof for consistent mass behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all this research i have started wondering....will i ever get high on  more than 3 rounds of pineapple juice so as to fall in one of these categories....&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;tat was the most indirect way of saying i don drink..he he he he....!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;N.B:I jus came from TOTO's before writing this blog.....and i swear i had only LASSI over there!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&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/961033628437618687-1732252880309075936?l=depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com/feeds/1732252880309075936/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=961033628437618687&amp;postID=1732252880309075936' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/961033628437618687/posts/default/1732252880309075936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/961033628437618687/posts/default/1732252880309075936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com/2008/01/theory-of-bewada-evolution.html' title='Theory of bewada evolution!!!!!'/><author><name>srinath shankarnarayan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09931383390778002582</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img4.orkut.com/images/milieu/2/461/18177461.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/R5JVeiNKW0I/AAAAAAAAADM/xzFXUIOI0BY/s72-c/WAG3250.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961033628437618687.post-2043319208917744901</id><published>2007-09-28T10:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T06:28:50.414-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='intellectual property damage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cricket'/><title type='text'>Mentally depressed intellectually repressed week!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/Rv1IEY7v2nI/AAAAAAAAADE/Y0khSuMfbys/s1600-h/ist2_2742273_zombie.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115323992012479090" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/Rv1IEY7v2nI/AAAAAAAAADE/Y0khSuMfbys/s320/ist2_2742273_zombie.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;where is the zombie??? well the zombie a.k.a me was dead walking(well err..its sleep walking the other days... bu these 2 weeks i was awake forcefully) for the past 2 weeks because of the e.x.a.m.s which drained the 2 vada pav, 1 thali,2 samosas and shitty dinner &lt;strong&gt;energy&lt;/strong&gt; daily.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Its not the amount of studies that takes a toll, it s the general scare and void created by it which is energy sipping. And add to this the twenty twenty world cup which was by large the most important thing in my daily schedule....watch toss, india batting, india bowling, final presentation, then indian team going to the loo, then to the hotel and till they go to bed to sleep.... err then i realise that i have a exam the next day.... but wait...i have even more important thing to do now...tish!!tish!!tish!! i slap myself for forgeting this...how can i forget to do this...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;yeah.... its time to get to bed and do the most important asana in yoga....nidra asana...lay flat on ur back and close ur eyes.deep breathe inside and out...if possible get a blanket and cover ur face also.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;phew after a tiring session of yoga... i get up to read...arghmmm... well before that i read the newspaper...for current events?? naaa.... just to read what mr vajpayee had to say about indian team's victory... imagine i would even read classifieds column if it has a mention of cricket... I read the same stuff which i had seen the day before... but still would read it and get excited and kick my roomie who is sleeping peacefully after night-out-studies session(sin number 39870 accumulated... well if ask me what my 39869 sins were.... it was denying myself sleep for the n number of times after coming to mumbai).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hmmmm then after all this thoughtful exercises which are not even remotely related to exam preparation... my roomies scare the hell out of me.... they have covered 80 percent of the portion and i am yet to read the subject name... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;*SARKAR THEME MUSIC PLAYING IN BACK GROUND AND HEAVY GLARES EXCHANGED BETWEEN SRINATH AND THE PILES OF WORKSHEETS*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;well that was a sfx special effects induced to inform the audience that i have become serious..(uhahahaha!!! uhahahaha!! well thts my roomies laughing their heart out... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;tish!!tish!!....thats me responding thru violence... people..u need to accept... i can also become serious in life!!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now that i have become serious... i wage a losing battle with the subject... and most of the time it gets the better of me.

I AM THE BOSS!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;exchanging saddam hussain looks with the bits of papers in the dustbin...(but after a while i go to my friend and ask him.."err...dooode whats their in lesson 5.can u lend me the notes"..these were precisely the same notes i had torn few minutes back..)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;hmmm well so confident after the heavy weight preparation... i go to the exam hall to give the paper....thinking i can give a better performance given the fact that we have relative grading. But all the people are useless...they waste their time...no body is ready to join my league....the league of the intellectually repressed lot.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hmm.. exam one...a sense of small rod being inserted with smooth effect..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;exam two.... the rod has become a boulder....and no smooth effect.. its shoved right up.. ouch!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;exam three... outright rrrraaaappppeee!!!bachao...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;exam four...lost sensation..... but same intensity being maintained...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;exam five...comfortably numb... now its free for all... all side mental rrrraaappee...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;exam six seven and eight.... retired hurt!!! need supporter to walk...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Exam nine.....dead... silence observed...procession held...1/6th manager version1.1 released...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;i.e the official trimester over...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;phew....now i am here writing my stories and in this process dedicating my cgpa to the indian team for which one soul has rested in peace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;noteby: there was no exam nine for us.... i din realise this...by the time i reached exam six seven and eight..i was in nirvana state and any event happening around me was running on the back up power of my brain.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;jai india!!! jai trimester!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/961033628437618687-2043319208917744901?l=depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com/feeds/2043319208917744901/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=961033628437618687&amp;postID=2043319208917744901' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/961033628437618687/posts/default/2043319208917744901'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/961033628437618687/posts/default/2043319208917744901'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com/2007/09/mentally-depressed-intellectually.html' title='Mentally depressed intellectually repressed week!!!'/><author><name>srinath shankarnarayan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09931383390778002582</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img4.orkut.com/images/milieu/2/461/18177461.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/Rv1IEY7v2nI/AAAAAAAAADE/Y0khSuMfbys/s72-c/ist2_2742273_zombie.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961033628437618687.post-7862050510700596175</id><published>2007-09-09T05:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T06:28:51.075-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Niagra'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='green and peace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='YO MAN'/><title type='text'>We don't need no education!!!</title><content type='html'>OOPS!!! was the title misleading??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I swear i just wanted to convey the idea that MBA curriculum is quite heavy and we just need a break....

So due to this miscommunication i was a bit late...so late that even the girls had turned up before me...isin't that unbelieveable!!! (&lt;em&gt;this is the most hopeless excuse i could find for being late..please accept it.. :-(&lt;/em&gt; )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We took to the most beloved lifeline of mumbai-the mumbai local to reach the destination.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And an real funny or rather amusing incident followed...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;there is this character in our class called &lt;strong&gt;KARTHICK&lt;/strong&gt;-who-is-the-source-of-south-indian-food-for-me &lt;strong&gt;RAJA.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RuPz35B0Q3I/AAAAAAAAACs/tI1Xsmgjsz0/s1600-h/DSC00782.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108194543895069554" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RuPz35B0Q3I/AAAAAAAAACs/tI1Xsmgjsz0/s320/DSC00782.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;He had just got a new mobile fone few days back and was just reminding me of the fact that i had misplaced my phone. In a goodwil gesture i reminded him of being careful about his belongings in a mumbai local coz nothing thats outside your body is safe while travelling in a local train...i repeat...nothing is safe. So all the more reasons for him to safegaurd the lil-johny...err..i would like to clarify one thing here...by lil johny i meant the &lt;strong&gt;fone&lt;/strong&gt; which was precious to him. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;station 3- our hero is listening to music and rapping...YO!! MAN!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;station 6-same music, same rap&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;station 10-same music, same rap but a small difference..the lil johny is now lost.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He din even realise which station he lost his mobile... YO!! MAN!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After some useless attempts at registering a complaint...we proceeded further...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the trip uphill was always going to be exciting...we jus needed some messiah to drop us at the top of the hill so that we can continue our trek and adventures.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But i guess asking this messiah to transport 12 people in one van was a bit asking too much.. jus look at it..and see at the reaction of the driver...he he he he..amen!!..god bless the convicts&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RuP1j5B0Q4I/AAAAAAAAAC0/9aNVFxqojNg/s1600-h/DSC00715.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108196399320941442" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RuP1j5B0Q4I/AAAAAAAAAC0/9aNVFxqojNg/s320/DSC00715.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believe me....i had a chance to witness a VAN doing the wheely stunt with the heavy weights sitting at the back.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After some enlightenment..we decided to take an extra van and reached the destination-yipee!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since Matheran does not allow any vehicles after a point.... we had to take the natraj (&lt;em&gt;good ol feets&lt;/em&gt;) service to walk our way to various destinations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The hill station was amazing treat for the nature lovers. Amazing views and to top it all amazing climate. Totally fog set backgrounds, dense green cover and lonely paths. Pefect setting for a trek freak to let his adventurous imaginations let loose. The gang was totally energetic and the face to face interaction with their distant cousins(&lt;em&gt;err..a fancy way to relate to the monkeys&lt;/em&gt;) gave them a boost. Well there are &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13075191@N07/"&gt;few fotos &lt;/a&gt;from which u will come to a conclusion that indeed we are in some way or the other related to these monkeys.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After a looooong looooong walk around the trek venue....yours truly discovered the largest waterfall in the world....err...(&lt;em&gt;well the water fall was a lil less than 6 feet..eeeeee..smiles at large..)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;sorry for the exageration..but still i get the credit for finding this stream and we had a amazing time wading thru this stream. Checkout that link of pics which has the so called NIAGRA FALLS of india.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We spent some quality time in the stream wetting ourselves....PHATACK!!don even dare to think the other way..what i meant was that we got drenched in the stream.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Phew!! the trip got theh better of us and every one was damn tired. So it was time to get back to mumbai...another city which is never short of adventure.... and we already had a victim of mumbai local adventure..he he he!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;But wait!!wait!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;we were not going to leave matheran before leaving some memories behind...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;after a tired day at trek....this is what we did finally...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RuQBg5B0Q5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/W-JAUEUIKWE/s1600-h/DSC00801.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108209541920867218" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RuQBg5B0Q5I/AAAAAAAAAC8/W-JAUEUIKWE/s320/DSC00801.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hey!! Hey!! don't come to any conclusions..... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We thought we should get a final glimpse of the deep valleys of matheran and were having a steep look.... nothing of the sort u ppl are imagining or have concluded upon. The nature was calling upon us to witness its beauty. wink!! wink!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The way back was not that eventful...i was in the state of trance because of the extreme fatigue levels.... infact i could here people swearing and fighting with each other in my half sleep.... later it was confirmed that was a group singing merrily..... so much for my state..i could not figure out that it was quack!!quack!! err..sorry sorry....i repeat i could not figure out that it was a melody sung in passion...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;hmmm...but till date my doubts are still there.....was i really in trance or...were they singing or quacking??? I have good control over my senses....so i presume they were great singers...(&lt;em&gt;the sarcasm to be noted&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;this post is dedicated to the monkeys, waterfalls,horse shit in the pathway and of course to the spirit of our class.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;P.S Hey...if the people involved in the trip are reading this post...please mention the other events that i have missed out...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/961033628437618687-7862050510700596175?l=depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com/feeds/7862050510700596175/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=961033628437618687&amp;postID=7862050510700596175' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/961033628437618687/posts/default/7862050510700596175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/961033628437618687/posts/default/7862050510700596175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com/2007/09/we-dont-need-no-education.html' title='We don&apos;t need no education!!!'/><author><name>srinath shankarnarayan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09931383390778002582</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img4.orkut.com/images/milieu/2/461/18177461.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RuPtdJB0Q2I/AAAAAAAAACk/JwGHnI2x85w/s72-c/DSC00119.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961033628437618687.post-819186347751410825</id><published>2007-08-30T09:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T06:28:51.279-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bewadaa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='darooooo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fashion'/><title type='text'>FASHION....DAROOO...BEWADAAS!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;The monotonous classes, presentations, guest lectures and the PPTs(we call it "&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;pandu presents trash&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;") are not the only way a MBA grad lives his life. We also get to let our hair loose...(&lt;em&gt;well the girls in our college get to do it every day..they call it fashion...yeeeeps&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;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.(&lt;em&gt;phutack!!! my classmate hits me..saying...the whole world knows u are jobless!!&lt;/em&gt;) So much for my image!!! sheesh...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well getting on track..where was I???..yeah about partying and letting our hair loose...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We had the unofficial freshers party hosted by our seniors..which was unofficial for the reasons known to all---&lt;strong&gt;ethanol. &lt;/strong&gt;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(&lt;em&gt;thank my generosity for calling all &lt;strong&gt;boys&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;girls..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) &lt;/strong&gt;. 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...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;But i heard a different story about the preparation in the girls hostel for the event...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Source: insider mole.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Someone spotted a lakhme stall just outside the hostel.. a strategic exercise to tap into the high market demand for their products&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;(&lt;em&gt;I swear..this is the Heights of sarcasm...girls of my college are going to kill me someday..sos!! sos!! Zee plus security needed!!!&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;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 &lt;a href="http://www.synchroworld.de/mediac/400_0/filmarchiv/bilder/jackass.JPG"&gt;webpage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;whoa!!!! There it goes...the shock was as good as having three shots of taquilla. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;("damn it u !@#!@#!@ &lt;em&gt;srinath..will u now come out of this girls topic!!!!")&lt;/em&gt;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&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hmmm now it was time for everyone to make merry and dance their way to glory. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;First round...gulp!!! Second round...gulp!!!........................eighth round...gulp!!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;take a look at the league of extra-ordinary gentlemen after the dance and the party...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;                                         &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RtcAIZB0Q1I/AAAAAAAAACc/z_ZqwbhkKVM/s1600-h/DSC00095.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104548846805205842" style="WIDTH: 335px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 264px" height="248" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RtcAIZB0Q1I/AAAAAAAAACc/z_ZqwbhkKVM/s320/DSC00095.JPG" width="322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Look at my sleep deprived and tired eyes supporting the weight of fellow commorades...That is the true spirit of friendship...(&lt;em&gt;no no no..not the other spirit... though i might look smashed...i was perfectly sobre that day.....  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;:-)&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;hope this innocent smile helps u guys believe me&lt;/em&gt;).

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(&lt;em&gt; 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") &lt;/em&gt;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 &lt;em&gt;(roomie again gets up in a angry mode) .. &lt;/em&gt;ok..ok...chillax...i will try not to sleep any more in class. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;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...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;yeah.. i have become a gyan guru for myself....self proclaimed remedy for the evil called ignorance.... he he he he.. my new avatar...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;                                                        &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RrnRti6dBII/AAAAAAAAACE/XQ17XoNvdBg/s1600-h/DSC00076.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5096335033742722178" style="CURSOR: hand" height="297" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RrnRti6dBII/AAAAAAAAACE/XQ17XoNvdBg/s320/DSC00076.JPG" width="236" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;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...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now in every class i come up with my own interpretation for the business jargons used...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1) class lecture on Business communication:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;scenario: writing back to the customer denying the credit facility to him&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Teacher says&lt;/strong&gt;: we regret our inablilty to extend the credit facility for our new and medium sized customers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I understand it as&lt;/strong&gt;: You loser!!!.. we don't give credit facility for mediocre companies producing lolypop sticks...move on u sucker!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2) class lecture on financial analysis:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The teacher says&lt;/strong&gt;: the credit rating of this company is very poor and is liable of defaulting on loans offered to them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I understand it as&lt;/strong&gt;: 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! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;3) Class lecture on Micro economics:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the teacher says&lt;/strong&gt;:The price change in supplemenatary goods affects the demand of our primary goods.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I understand it as:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;snapping my finger&lt;/em&gt;!! 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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;4) Class lecture on financial mathematics:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Teacher says&lt;/strong&gt;: 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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I understand it as: &lt;/strong&gt;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...(&lt;em&gt;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 &lt;strong&gt;physically challenged blogger&lt;/strong&gt;..wow!! what a new term to coin!!!)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Phew!!

But thankfully the second group was much more decent and well behaved (*&lt;em&gt;this is just a figurative speech.. though these three are also equally well known for their traditional leg pulling&lt;/em&gt;*)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RoemiSccUwI/AAAAAAAAAAc/Zg4XI0N314Q/s1600-h/DSC00029.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5082213812507792130" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RoemiSccUwI/AAAAAAAAAAc/Zg4XI0N314Q/s320/DSC00029.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;left to right: &lt;strong&gt;Kulla vivek&lt;/strong&gt;(*&lt;em&gt;he is as tall as me when i was in fifth standard&lt;/em&gt;*) , &lt;strong&gt;me&lt;/strong&gt; (*&lt;em&gt;no comments&lt;/em&gt;*), &lt;strong&gt;vetti guru&lt;/strong&gt; (*&lt;em&gt;though professionally he is a TL in a bank BPO still considered the &lt;strong&gt;vetti&lt;/strong&gt; for being the oldest one to hang around with young guys like us&lt;/em&gt;*) and &lt;strong&gt;Scene hari&lt;/strong&gt; (*&lt;em&gt;do i have to eloborate on this? in short fizzy*)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;these 3 again part of my close network of dear pallies... and infact they cried their heart out when i left them to check-in(*&lt;em&gt;sheesh am i going over board with fiction&lt;/em&gt;*)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well after recieving the farewell and electric send off.. it was time to board the flight and say buy buy to chennai. Was feeling bad inside for having to leave chennai... but i needed a motivation to keep myself charged for rest of my journey to the &lt;strong&gt;MAXIMUM CITY. &lt;/strong&gt;just then i checked my boarding pass and a flash bulb lit in the Hypothalamus portion of the brain(*&lt;em&gt;jus a try to show off that i too studied biology once upon a time... pardon me :)&lt;/em&gt;*) well to put things in right perspective.. let me tell you that the thought of being served well by the air hostess was the motivation i was talkin about. With high hopes i boarded the flight just to find out a woman saying &lt;em&gt;"Beta welcome aboard the flight to mumbai.. happy journey"&lt;/em&gt;. there went the motivation out of the window -45 year old air hostess is heights of dissapointment.. and i slept tight for the next 1-45 min (*&lt;em&gt;Indian .. best experience... this is what apparently the ticket brochure says.... damn.. mera &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; mahaan..!@#!@ *)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After a eventful journey (*&lt;em&gt;did i say eventful... heights of creativity&lt;/em&gt;!!!*) i reached the city of dashing bollywood. After taking my baggage i left for my apartment in vile parle juhu... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/Roe0fCccUzI/AAAAAAAAAA0/TIjpoTJfWFc/s1600-h/CA3C7KBT.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5082229149836006194" style="CURSOR: hand" height="111" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/Roe0fCccUzI/AAAAAAAAAA0/TIjpoTJfWFc/s320/CA3C7KBT.jpg" width="128" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;we live in a place called homo villa... oops sorry hemu villa (*&lt;em&gt;in reality this villa has a high influx of guys... imagine 39 guys inclusive of all the floors and no sign of fairer sex population&lt;/em&gt;*)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;finally i reached my apartment and this was the begining for my 2 years of hostel life as management student. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the transition is evident...............&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;slow aamchi mumbai flavour hitting my senses...........&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/961033628437618687-2833791927479649043?l=depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com/feeds/2833791927479649043/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=961033628437618687&amp;postID=2833791927479649043' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/961033628437618687/posts/default/2833791927479649043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/961033628437618687/posts/default/2833791927479649043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com/2007/07/mumbai-matinee-bheja-fry-part-2.html' title='MUMBAI MATINEE-BHEJA FRY PART 2'/><author><name>srinath shankarnarayan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09931383390778002582</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img4.orkut.com/images/milieu/2/461/18177461.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RoeyTCccUxI/AAAAAAAAAAk/Z5I-nUa9G-s/s72-c/chennai_road.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961033628437618687.post-5517167524408517995</id><published>2007-06-26T01:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T06:28:54.262-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bheja fry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mind poisoning'/><title type='text'>MUMBAI MATINEE-BHEJA FRY PART 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RoDOjWIZW4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/SSwjo6OOJRY/s1600-h/DSC00379.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5080287486305459074" style="WIDTH: 196px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 164px" height="173" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RoDOjWIZW4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/SSwjo6OOJRY/s320/DSC00379.JPG" width="269" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; WORK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CHOOSE YOUR POISON&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RoDPE2IZW5I/AAAAAAAAAAU/PAzA1Hvd2W0/s1600-h/Picture+001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5080288061831076754" style="WIDTH: 227px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 158px" height="151" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RoDPE2IZW5I/AAAAAAAAAAU/PAzA1Hvd2W0/s320/Picture+001.jpg" width="222" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; MBA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From being a IT working professional... read the word working...(yeah junta.. i had work to do in a IT company from my initial days itself... quite lucky right?*&lt;em&gt;a wicked grin&lt;/em&gt;*) to a MBA student in mumbai... the poisoning..errr...transition is evident... is it not.... ok ok.. u might say i look smashed in both the photos... but atleast i look decently smashed in the first one right! (*&lt;em&gt;a person with intelligence quotient 150 plus would apparently say that I look professional in both the fotos&lt;/em&gt; source-abc science journal*)&lt;br /&gt;yeah student ways are here to stay again... no dress code... no restrictions... no time sheet to fill(*&lt;em&gt;raising my collar in profound joy!but sad enuf to find that i am wearing only vests at home&lt;/em&gt;*)... but others remain the same.... the slogging... dead lines...the expectations.&lt;br /&gt;and extra cherry on the top being weekend classes and guest lectures.i always thought weekends were for going out with friends to movies... and for khana-peena outside(*&lt;em&gt;sheesh people please raise your horizon beyond ethanol.. i meant H2O only&lt;/em&gt;*)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But where did this all start? hmmm... let me do some retrospection.... (*&lt;em&gt;gulping down a bottle of sprite and into deep introspection&lt;/em&gt; *) It probably started in my last year of college. I was in a great frame of mind.. with great many options in hand to carve my future...&lt;br /&gt;1.Higher studies (*&lt;em&gt;whoa!! study till 30 and toy around with my core subject and become obssesed with it?...din suit my personality&lt;/em&gt;*)&lt;br /&gt;2. Give my UPSC exams for airforce (*&lt;em&gt;well as you all know i had a very good physical fitness for all this that i was over qualified for the job!&lt;/em&gt;*)&lt;br /&gt;3. Give My MBA examinations (*&lt;em&gt;well i considered this and gave it a shot just to find out that i could score only in mid ninety percentiles ..thought of blaming arjun singh for even this..eeeee&lt;/em&gt;*)&lt;br /&gt;4. Take up a job in a IT firm&lt;br /&gt;5. Join the elite ivy league of jobless people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well did i say that i had great many options at the begining of this para??*&lt;em&gt;smiling end to end&lt;/em&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;So made a wise desicion and took up the job(*&lt;em&gt;as if i had any other option... see how wise i am*&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;and thus started my journey as an IT professional. I was delightfully gyan fed by the seniors that i would have to slog it out in the training period and be on the bench for months.. all these turned out to be as true as the metreological depts forecast.&lt;br /&gt;work and only Work... thats the rare commodity i have been gifted with basically all these years.. and all of a sudden being fed a lot of it meant defying law of averages... and dare i go against the rules of the nature!!!.. so i dutifuly obliged by spacing my work with mails chatting and looooong breaks... or should say work in between all these..*&lt;em&gt;wink! wink&lt;/em&gt;!*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm but where did MBA come into picture ?? you might ask....&lt;br /&gt;i am coming to that only...&lt;br /&gt;i had a great motivation.... and devine enlightenment through mails only.... quite strange right...&lt;br /&gt;i used to get chain mails... all about managers and how little they work....whoa... it did strike a bolt in my mind... work little and earn handsome... all these mails subjected to that &lt;strong&gt;idea&lt;/strong&gt; only.&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;em&gt;drinking sprite helps a lot..i repeat sprite.. not spirit... grow up people!&lt;/em&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;no work and loads of money.... jus my type of material...eeee...&lt;br /&gt;so the MBA devil inside me woke again after a slumber...knocking on the doors... and inviting me to the world of dreamy eyes...*&lt;em&gt;i could have done better with this effect right?? i am low on creativity sensors in my brain.. blame it on the LKG teacher&lt;/em&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;and i joined a test series in obiquitous but called famous institute... and the slogging exercise for 2 months started again....&lt;br /&gt;and after a good scores in MBA ebtrance exams... finally was admitted in one of the good b schools of india...&lt;br /&gt;(*&lt;em&gt;acting like a ideal person in the interview and passing the litmus test is indeed a oscar performance material... i mean it... encore !!!!encore!!! i spent sleepless nights preparing the script for it&lt;/em&gt;*)&lt;br /&gt;I read sometime back that if you cant make it.. then fake it... me a direct decendant of chinese manufacturers..eeeeeeee :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well then what else.... i packed my bags and eagerly awaited the mumbayya sojourn....&lt;br /&gt;aamchi mumbai.. from singaara chennai....mein aaaya mumbai&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: well i tried being professional at best in the second foto... can't u all figure it out??&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/961033628437618687-5517167524408517995?l=depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com/feeds/5517167524408517995/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=961033628437618687&amp;postID=5517167524408517995' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/961033628437618687/posts/default/5517167524408517995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/961033628437618687/posts/default/5517167524408517995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://depressions-for-dummies.blogspot.com/2007/06/mumbai-matinee-bheja-fry-part-1.html' title='MUMBAI MATINEE-BHEJA FRY PART 1'/><author><name>srinath shankarnarayan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09931383390778002582</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img4.orkut.com/images/milieu/2/461/18177461.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIP4JawWC7Y/RoDOjWIZW4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/SSwjo6OOJRY/s72-c/DSC00379.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry></feed>
