Another CCCS ppt down the drain. The prof makes u feel tht u hav done nothin.. that u r unfit to be in the place where u r.. u r the dumbest creature on the planet...
all those 8 hrs of work for the presentation ...
u just stand there and take what ever the prof throws at you.. any cross point will be turned out as somethin fraud... the problem lies in the articulation..
everything boils down to the general strategy of the company.. wht it is i am unable to fathom... whether it is focusses, differentiative, me too... whtevr doesnot mattter... u cannot hit the nail on the head...

General Reading
U know wht.. it is very important for people to be abreat with whats happening in the world outside... so one has to read newspapers, watch news channels, read bizz mags, do this and do that... blah..blah....
Its not just the knowledge of current affairs which make few ppl great... its their voracious reading ability that makes them what they are... i subscribe to the view that reading builds character, it makes ppl of substance...
One of the few good things i have learnt from my childhood is to read... i used to read a lot ... yup mostly novels, fiction, cartoons.. i started with Jeffrey Archer's "Not a Penny more Not a penny less' and Sidney Sheldon's "If tomorrow comes" while i was in my eight grade... i kinda liked these two... they still remain as my favourites... I went on to Enid Blyton.. reading through Famous five, secret seven and whatever i could lay my hands on.. then it was the turn of John Grisham, Robert Ludlum.... Frederick Forsyth and Michael chricton couldn't have to wait long .... with cartoons filling up the gaps... i was on a reading spree... In engineering i got hold of few of them who had an interesting collection... i went on and on...
As i grew.. i moved to a bit of seriors reading... moving away from fiction was boring initially... but it became interesting whn it made me sit back and think.... hav learnt few things frm books ... more is in store in the future...
I feel Books are man's best friends. U can read them at ur leisure.. well not entirely true.. once u get into the book... u can hardly close it ... one cannot resist the temptation...
In order to keep up with the readin i hav decided to do general readin for atleast half an hour a day.... i hav a bet with my friend Bancho.. that if any one fails to do the gen. readin on any given day... each one has to pay the other 100 bucks... a gud disincentive to persue a good habit...
hopefully i will continue this...

The marathon exercise
The practise has helped in discovering myself. IT might seem to be a bit far fetched, but nonetheless it is true.
I am not a selfmotivated person. Until and unless someone is breathing down my neck i don't push myself to do anything. Not that i am lazy, but i lose interest in what i do after sometime. Initially i used to start things on a grand scale but couldn't sustain it long enough. Instead of working on the sustaining part, whenever i came across a good idea i would think it through and later feel that i would not sustain it and stopped taking initiatives. I solved the wrong problem here. I have tried to push myself to do things but after sometime i lose interest, motivation, dedication, determination.. u name it, I have lost it... but bcoz of these ppl i hav managed to do it...hopefull i will be able to sustain it till Jan 21st... i am still working on the learnings form this exercise... hopefully it will help to get me back on the track of self motivated, enthu, cheerful guy i once was...

StanC Mumbai Marathon
Since childhood i liked to play, run.. i am not sure whether this is correct... I feel i like the smell of my sweat or rather sweat dripping from my forehead... my sweat all over me gives me kinda high.. :) .. maybe its kinda wierd but this is wht i like... due to which i liked runnin.. since thats the simplest thing which makes u sweat..
Then i met these set of ppl from my coll. A major, a CP king, the reserved Tulli and the Amazon Paro who had just began their marathon practise. It was a perfect match. I needed company for me to run and here they were. They needed more people to take part in the marathon. Hence i joined hands ( or legs) with them and then our marathon practise kick started. Running almost daily, following the prescribed schedule sacrosanctly, with disincentive schemes for ppl who miss the training, the marathon practise is on for almost 7 weeks now. Well thats one heck of a time period to sustain something.
The marathon is on Jan 21st but its a 20 week training schedule. Sometimes its kinda interestin, sometimes highly boring, sometimes thrillin and fewtimes extremely painful.. but the gang we are we just motivate eachother and carry on.
I bet if left alone i wouldn't have persued it even though i feel i can run the full marathon with a bit of practise.

To write !!!
I am back...
again after a long time.. failin to keep the promise i made in the previous post. I dunno why i keep doing it quite often. Guess I am not a great writer which stops me from posting frequently or rather i take refuge by considering myself not a good writer. Well if i don't write how am i going to become one. With all these writing takes the last priority. If i have absolutly nothing else to do, i login to blogspot. Well u guessed rite, I am kinda free now or rather i have made myself free :) .
For a long time i wanted to pen some of the work i do, things i did, or things i intend to do. I will provide u with a list of post i plan to write. Since i have posted here probly i will be motivated enuff to post them pretty soon. Here they go...
First things first.
1. StanC Mumbai Marathon - Jan 21st
2. Runnin on the street- late nite/ early morning
3. Jodhpur/Jaisalmer Trip
The desert safari.. my expectations.. how it matched, exceeded and failed...
4. Delhi trip part II.
I have written the first part and the second part is due for quite sometime.
5. Relationships...
Yup, I plan to write few things about relationships, things i cherish about them, things i despise, things i have learnt, things i am unable to fathom.. well to put in a nut shell.. it will be Relationships through my eyes.
6. Classes / Group preps
The unforgettable moments ... things which hav taught me those little stuffs i have learnt in this place...
7. Flash - Success rate of 100%
From a debutant to ....
8. Competitions - how i manage to fail all of them
9. Dangs - The place to visit...
One awesome bike trip with an exciting group of friends .. probably i will post some pics as well....
I want to make the count touch 10.. i am thinking very hard to find the tenth one... i should be able to think something.... hey.. here it goes.. not an interestin thing to write about but at a later date it mite bring a smile on my face.... hopefully...
