slow go

had my stats exam today... did kinda ok....but today was not about the test.. today was about finding..infact realizing something again... something that i knew..and accepted but forgot... the fact that i am a slow learner...and frankly speaking...i like to admit it.. because at the end of the day.. i do get there...and i do it well.. but in some cases..today being the statistics test... i think.. i just a little bit late getting there...you know sometimes you understand a concept completely and are ready to counter the situtation...but..hehe..but by that time.. the situation is no more there...nevertheless...like i experienced today..people do come across similar situation after some amount of time..so the trick here is not to forget what you had learned from the past long long ago situation..you know how people say.. you should learn from mistakes...well..you should learn from mistakes and keep in mind where you made the mistake..infact.. i think i have heard somebody say that too.. hehe..anyways..what really happened is that i wasnt doing much well in the tests and by the time i was getting into the groove..i was hit by the finals.. i remember telling this classmate of mine... that i take gradual steps when it comes to studies..i grow and that takes time..but i guess i have more to learn..there is no time..so do what you wanna do now..learn now..understand now(which i think is tough)...samaghne main thoda time lagta hai..funda humko..humre language main code karke batao..toh zada samagh aata hai... but that is not the case here...i dont know how the test would turn out..but something that i can guarantee is the progress...i will definitely do better in todays test..the only problem is...there are no more tests..but i am proud of myself...even if i am a slow learner..because i am a survivor..and i have survived through many of there situations and will...the fight is on..actually.. i never realized..but i guess...the 0 to 1..that i like so much and something that is made by me...does have a slow growth dimension to it too..you know..because its not from 0 to 10 or something.. its zero to one...its nice..i know nobody reads my blog..except when i put it on the google talk..but my message to all slow learner(if there are any)..cause its good if you are not...is that...we are people who get there!!..like i was telling my boss the other day... he was having some parental issue.."deep" to the rescue..hehehe..i just told him to convince his daughter to do things for her own satisfaction..at the same time keeping other in mind...listen to everybody...but choose what you like..because at the end of the day...it is you who is doing it..it is you who is reaching the top...better late than never..and like rocky says...its not about punching..but taking the punches and getting up..it is the getting up that matters..so i eventually get there..today..tommorow..jai shri ram

how different are they(we)

umm.. yes...its their first marriage anniversary sometime around..and there is no reason for me to get excited.but the gentleman that i am... i am happy for everybody...including people who marry partners elder than them and who have had a great history when in comes to being "pairs"...anyways..what i saw the other day on rediff photos..was this nice picture of a couple called aishwarya abhisek bachchan..and that made me think..what if abhisek had never joined the film industry...and well.. ashwarya was just an average actress...i think no.. i mean...this picture made me realize..they are just like any other couple..and what made this photo different is...they are not running from people...there is no crowd around them...there were these two pilots.. but i cut them off... dosnt really matter..what i have to say here..is..its us who make them big.. i mean..they are big..they are big celebrities and all.. but when it comes to being a couple.. i think they are good..keeping their history aside..also.. i think the way they r dressed here..has a huge impact on my thinking...any newly married couple could look this way... aishwarya with a nice red sari..and lots of sindoor...minimal jewellery...abhisek on the other hand.. a general kurta pajama.. with a shawl..pucca kolkatta babu..well...i didnt like the pair when they got married..but now.. its sinking in..not that it matters..but you know..they being in miami.. and everything..after all.. i am in the same country you know....anyways.. i guess what i am trying to put across here is that.. i want my aishwarya asap.. cmon guy.. work on it..hehehe.. nea... actually i think..the bachchans..are relatively...a simple family.. i mean going by the people around..and i hope they act like that when they are having dinner..or watching tv..and i like that.. its pretty hard to maintain a simple level of simpleness...especially while keeping the celebrity status....so.. i hope things work out well for them.. ab jo ho gaya... woh ho gaya..aishwarya is mrs bachchan now.. and i hope she respects it..for that is one last thing this family needs...a daughter in law..entry and exit..with maximum damage.. yet again(if u know what i mean)!!!..nevertheless..there are people who for some strange reason are no more the same...huh..none other than rani mukherjee..damn..there is something wrong with that female..she is not that suave person..something she cannot carry...but then there are other people who are good at being simple.. akshay kumar i think is one of them..and mind you..when i say simple.. i dont mean not driving big cars and dressing armani eshtyle...but..to dress armani eshtyle..maintaining the "mayur" look... jai shri ram

hostel raa !!

first things first... man.. engg hostel was good... enjoyed a lot...in fact everybody does...anyways.. like i said... i hate hostels...i hate it when kids are sent to hostels to "make them disciplined" or something like that... personally i don't get the funda.. i mean its straight out to the world.. you are declaring that you as a parent do not have the time...or the ability to manage kids.. give them good education..pass on the discipline baton..hence.. in short.. you have failed as a parent..but wait .. hold on... i am not against hostel life.. no no... i did enjoy it... but that was when i was in engg...that i think is the time to explore the world... i mean.. you are just out of "12th" class boards.. and you are now 18..and there are many things that you can do.. legally... but thats not all.. hostel life i feel... after some point of time in you life... gives you the experience that you cherish..i learnt a lot from hostel..survival techniques... hehe..anyways...the problem i think..when you send a kid to hostel..early.. is the maturity level..the tiny brain..reaches maturity too soon..and i believe.."sab cheez ka ek samay hota hai... jab aayega.. tab hoga...and i like it that way... that way there are no surprises...and you encounter things that you know you are equipped for..although there are times when you dont really find the tools... but thats for another post.. this one here.. this post about hostel.. in inspired by the movie taarein zameen par ka gaana "maa"... thats the part when the little one is left at the hostel..so..like i said..hostel life rocks.. but only when you are exposed to it at the right time..infact.. i had this friend of mine.. who had stayed all his life in hostels... school..college...generally..and.. i could feel that he was not as connected to his parents as we..others were...and we could easily see that..hard to believe..but yea.. he was that way..i mean.. nothing wrong.. he was a cool dude.. but only when it came to his parents.. or anything related to them.. he would be different..thinking about it... i found another reason why parents send their kids to boarding schools.."quality education"... i dont think there is anything like that..but thats the personal me... i mean... i feel its the driver that matters in the race.. and not the car..although here im do not want to compare life with some kind of race.. but .. i just like using that phrase..so i think its the parents who are failing here..failing in their parenthood.. which i think is like ignoring a huge chapter of your life..the other day.. i was talking to my landlord mr kiran..and we had a unanimous decision on the fact that..when you have kids.. it changes your life..and what more can you do...that just be a normal parent...its not easy...but i think.. by putting the kid in a hostel..you are just getting rid of all the "parenthood hassles" also.. having completely lost the confidence of raising a kid... damn !!!...anyways.. i am very very lucky.. i have not been exposed to the wrong part .. or the misfit part of hostel life... so im happy with my 4 years in the spec hostel...and i hope.. i am at some point of time..lucky again...to give my child the same life... jai shri ram

i feel..MBA

aaj toh watt laga dee sabki... after a long stay here in the Us and the months of slogging with my mba and some not sogood days..today was a day to blog about..actually i wasnt writing much about college because it was sad...and i dont likeblogging about sad things..specially sad..personal things..i think thats just an excuse to gain some sympathy..anyways.. back to the happy moment..the marketing strategy class today..our teams were given an on the spot case study and we were to present it to the class in about 20 minutes.. i mean.. every group had to do it..and then we started with our work..and i decided to come with some strategies to come out of the problem our case was facing..things got done..and people started giving their presentation..in the previous class...this classmate of mine..was praised for his presentation skills..but people said he did it so well because his job was the same kind..giving presentations..anyways.. i thought he was good too..so this time.. i was planning to work out things in such a way that i could tell people about my presentation skills too.. after all im good at it..and im proud of it..anyways.. cases after cases..presentations after presentations..things went on..and then it was time for our group to present the case..and wowee..what a moment that i was...i had some solutions in my hand that were very simple..and were solving all the problems in the company..also..something that nobody else had proposed..that.. i think gave me that extra strength to do good..and when i finished with my the presentation..there was applause and accolades...it was at that moment.. i felt mba running in my blood..i had..using my brain..that works..had come out with something new and great.. i no longer cared about the score i was gonna get(i never do).. i was so satisfied with what i had done on that stage..it was like trance...but anyways.. the judges declared the results..and our team had won the round..it was nice...i was...and i pretty disappointed with "mba" course..because i thought it was more of using your brain..than studying from the books..but today..is a great day..and i love doing what i did..mba.. here i come..i will fall.. i will fail..but i will get up..and fight again...jai shri ram
