Shraddha Aur Saboori

Faith is a beautiful thing. It is one of the most precious gifts of life. Faith in oneself, faith in people around you and in my case faith in God. Being born in a Hindu family I have come across numerous forms of deities that are worshiped sacredly. Everyone finds their own faith, their own God, they own path to spirituality and their own manner of Godly connect at their own time in life.

I was lucky to find my own faith in life quite early. I am a person with a deep connect with my inner self and God. My dad used to take me to Sai Baba mandir every thursday since i was just 7-8 months old at Lodhi Road in Delhi. I myself started visiting Sai Baba Temple in Rohini every thursday consciously all alone since I was in class 10th. I am lucky to be able to follow this habit till date or rather its Baba's blessings that allows me this privilege.

The Sai Baba temple at Rohini is a very unique place. People from all over Delhi travel long distances to come here every thursday. An amazing thing about the temple is that you can listen the group of temple singers sing ardas in punjabi, hindi bhajans and sufi quawwalis all in one evening. Such integration of religions and such diverse secular follower ship is hard to find. There are people who sit and clap on the bhajans and quawwalis, and such atmosphere gets created that there is a group of young followers who get so lost in clapping that their hands begin to bleed at times! But it is an atmosphere to be experienced and felt. It truly is amazing.

Sai Baba have gained amazing follower ship in past 100 years and is truly comparable to the follower ship of other Gods which have been preached over past thousands of years. One must visit Shirdi at least once in life. That is one of the most peaceful religious places that you can visit. Its amazing to see how the life of an entire town Shirdi revolves around the Sai Baba temple.

I have always gone to Baba's doors with questions, doubts, issues and problems in life and I have always found answers and its been nothing short of magical. My faith in God and Life just continues to grow :)

'Shraddha aur Saboori' mean 'Faith and Patience'. These are the one of key teachings of Sai Baba which always work for any stage in Life :)

Jai Sairam

Only God at MTNL can help you :)

Forgive me God for i know not what i did ;)

Its been many days since me and my friend have been regularly visiting the room no 7 center table, MTNL Rohini office.. Yes, we dared :) We dared to get some post sale service from MTNL :) It wasn't even service but we were just trying to return a broadband modem at the office for disconnection purpose.

What next happened can be explained by only God/Gaud. The Rohini MTNL office, room no 7 center table is occupied by somebody with the name Mr. Gaud who collects the device for disconnecting the broadband. When we heard this the first time, my remark was ' bhai sach mein MTNL mein to sirf God (Gaud) hi kuch kaam kar sakta hai'. But what followed was more remarkable. We went to the office 3-4 times at different timings, but the seat remained vacant. We never found a man there. The lady sitting on the adjacent seat assured us that a man sits there sometime and he does collect the device as well.

But our suspicion grew. We actually felt that finally MTNL had accepted the reality and created an empty chair. Mr Gaud is actually God. MTNL also is in hope that someday God/Gaud/Whatever would arrive at the seat and finish all their pending work.

Till then we mere mortals would still visit the office with the hope in the age old saying 'Dhoondne se to Bhagwaan bhi milta hai' :D

Wealth is being lost commonly!! Commonwealth 2010!!

Delhi govt. is sharing the cost of running Commonwealth Games 2010 with the Delhi residents now. Thus wealth is being lost commonly by all. Ohh!! Delhi is getting ready for commonwealth games ;)

Let newspapers and media channels continue with their analysis of the timelines, infrastructure requirements and budgetary allocations for the games. They have interesting material to run an entire season on, which can give kyunki saas bhi bahu thi a run for its money.

Lets see some random stuff that helps us think of arrival of commonwealth games as observed by me and another friend in last few days:

• A traffic policeman came in way of my friend on a random street and what we heard was something difficult to believe. The policeman said 'sorry' for obstructing the way. Ohh!! Delhi is getting ready for commonwealth games ;)
• I along with a friend went to an MTNL office to get an internet connection and the lady sitting on inquiry counter said 'You will get regular service'. MTNL promising service!! Ohh!! Delhi is getting ready for commonwealth games ;)
• The Naraina flyover which has been under construction since the last ice age opened for usage from one side. Although the construction is faulty and now we have jams on the flyover itself but Naraina flyover becoming operational!!Ohh!! Delhi is getting ready for commonwealth games ;)
• There is an instrument fit outside Palika Bazaar which is worth lakhs of rupees and its objective is to purify the surrounding air for a particular radius. It seems stupid that such expenditure is being incurred on stuff that least matters, rather they could have spend on building clean public toilets at regular intervals rather than on purifying the Palika bazaar air or advertisement spend on Susu Kumar campaign. But govt. spending lacs on hifi gizmo that cleans air. Ohh!! Delhi is getting ready for commonwealth games ;)

I am sure there are many more random things to be seen in the coming days. Hail commonwealth ;)

HORN OK PLEASE

'Bawan (52) ke phool, pachpan (55) ki mala,boori nazar waley tera mooh kala'

While travelling on highways at time the landscapes become repetitive, but there are various things that catch your interest. One such thing is the random shayari and messages written on the back of trucks and tempos.

Take this one:

'Seekh le beta drivery,

phoote tere karam,

roti milegi kabhi kabhi,

sona agle janam'

One can find a wide range of messages.

Some senti messages of broken hearts,

some social messages,

some prayers to God

and some just odd (this one rhymed too ;))

Some just hilarious:

'After whisky Jatt is risky'

or this one written on the back of a tempo:

'Bada hoke mai truck banunga'

A lot of them are real creative expressions of the truck drivers who spend so much time on road with their beloved vehicle. Its their way of making people take notice of their sweetheart truck.

However random they may be they make the journey so much more interesting. Sometimes after dull moments one spots such a quote and ends up in splits.

So HORN OK PLEASE and USE DIPPER AT NIGHT :)

'Maalik ki Zindagi fruit aur cake pe, Driver ki Zindagi steering aur brake pe'

Samaritans :)

Samaritans- The social initiative club of MDI.

Samaritans is a club which binds students each year with a common thread called humanity.

Samaritans is a symbol of the fact that the future managers and leaders are not just motivated by money and exploiting the resources but also by the developing resources and efficient utilization and sharing.

Samaritans is an effort towards creating a better tomorrow, a tomorrow where we the people move away from competition to a happy co-existence with ourselves and with mother earth.

Samaritans is a hope that all is not lost in this frantic pace of life, a hope that our hearts are still warm with compassion, a hope that we still believe in a better tomorrow for not 'me' but 'us'.

Samaritans is a movement towards smiles, smiles which become the ray of hope and spirit of life.

Samaritans is a start towards exploring the simple happiness of life, it is a guide towards the real things which give satisfaction and a meaning to our existence.

Samaritans is an attempt to give voices to choked throats and create an impression on deaf ears and closed eyes, an attempt to make sure that the next bomb explosion, the next cry of a mother, the next empty stomach, the next begging hand on the street doesn't go unnoticed.

And as one of my team mates said the motto of Samaritans is ,''We are working to create a future when we won't be needed'' :)

P.S.: Samaritans through its range of student driven social initiative activities and along with the initiatives of center for sustainability, MDI has made MDI, Gurgaon one of the most active B-Schools in the country in terms of social responsibility and initiative.

Karthik Calling Karthik !!

This is not a movie review. I saw Karthik calling Karthik by paying Rs. 200 for the ticket yesterday night, felt cheated and well I just thought that if a chinese telephone could take revenge (in the movie) so can i by writing this blog post ;)

After a long time i saw the crowd running towards exit door when finally the movie ended. It is difficult to describe my feelings after the movie was over. It was a mix of disgust, anger, frustration mingled with a growing headache.

Karthik calling Karthik is not just a movie, its a lot more.

While pondering over the movie story and director's attempts at playing with the audience's mind I could understand that there is a greater secret behind this movie. This movie is an attempt by players like Nokia etc. against the chinese handsets which have been capturing their markets off late. What this movie does is create an impact on the mind of the audience in such a manner that they would get irritated and frustrated each time they see a chinese landline or mobile handset. Thus this is a unique competitive strategy (and you thought its just a movie).

Well to think of any learning out of this movie, I would just say that looking at the joy on audience's face when they ran towards the exit doors its true that all bad things come to an end ;)

My recommendation: Take your girlfriend to this movie if you want to dump her or if you are a person of suicidal tendencies watch Ram Gopal Verma's Phoonk 2 instead. Atleast you won't die of confusion.

The extraordinary league of crazy entrepreneurs ;)

This post my friends is a non-humble tribute to us ;) We the most unconventional, crazy, unorthodox, bhasadi to the core, full of life, unique and uncompromising set of people are set to re-define how the world looks at things and life in general :)

Well we the league of entrepreneurs and set to dance on the stage of life, setting our rules and of course breaking the existing ones, mixing fun and work together to create magic.

Let me take the opportunity to introduce us to the world :)

You see above, Rohit Sharma, the original Jatt of our gang. He would give a damn to the orthodox ways in which world functions :) By qualification, he is a lawyer but every morning he wakes up at 5:30 am to wash cars and in the day times he makes chocolates ;)

Rohit is a part of a two year old business venture called Clean 'n' Care which specializes in professional car cleaning services in housing societies. Bringing professionalism into a very organised sector, Clean 'n' Care is a welcome relief to inefficient daily car cleaners.

Rohit is also a part of Choco Mishtham, the handmade chocolate business which is working in the domain of creating customized chocolates.

Beware of the guy you see above, Captain Himanshu Shekhar's simple life fundas, easy going lifestyle, and an ever infectious smile even in the most stressful times can get to you :)

A pilot by profession (this is a long story about what random things he was doing before he finally became a pilot), this guy is into redefining the scrap market. His venture 'Kabadu' is trying to professionalize the fragmented scrap (kabadi) pickers from your households. These days he is experimenting with tons of any kinds of industrial scrap (what he does with it is still a mystery to the world ;) ). His latest venture 'Campus Ghanta' is set to ring a lot of bells ;) in the heart of campus going crowd. Thats a surprise, I won't reveal much but I have a good instinct that it is going to be a big hit :)

The guy in above picture is one hell of an entrepreneur and is one of those people who are born to change the world :) This guy is the one who has spread this virus of entrepreneurship in all of us. Let me introduce to the world, Mr. Amit Gupta, President of a 3 year old NGO Sanskaari, and is part of the following startups: Clean 'n' Care (professional car cleaning), Swatch (mineral water manufacturing), Choco Mishtham (Customized handmade chocolates), Kabadu (Organized scrap), Campus Ghanta (Secret project :p ) and very recently 'Discover Life' a venture which is set to redefine education, produce leaders and give a new perspective to world.

How can a person humanly manage so many things?? Only watching him working on all this would make you believe it :)

And well, I am also somewhere trying my hand at a few things, taking inspiration from the people above, signing out of placements (now berozgaar :) ) .. Unsure of what is coming next..

But I am sure of one thing, with my gang of crazy entrepreneurs, we are set to rock the stage..

Bring it on world, we have arrived :)

What to extract from 2 years at a top B-School?

The B-school Bureaucracy perspective:

Top B-schools act as an automatic filter at the entry level for students, so even if there is no value addition in 2 years the students still get placed at decent positions in the corporate. Thus, why should a B-school make an effort to add value to the students, if top profile students come at entry level and top companies line up at the end of two years to place them?

Just rely on a negetive sadist system of relative grading for checking the value addition to students.

Finally the impact on students is that they develop a crab mentality and learn to trick the system and they become so expert in this that when they enter the corporate they still apply their experience of tricking the system, using politics to move around in the organization.

Though there may be some value driven visionaries at top postions in a good B-School but they are highly out numbered by the ones who play power games and are in real control of these institutions.

The curriculum perspective:

By the end of 2 years most students hardly remember the names of 50% of the subjects they get taught.

You wish the subjects you were taught after your summer internship were taught earlier, the internship would make so much more meaning if this were the case.

Being taught by the same theory and cases that have been taught since BC (Before Christ) era, at the end you get to know that every case scenario is different and you gotta start once again. Even that can be considered as learning but then few subject and professors are completely like gravity; they totally suck (courtesy Abhinav). Only few professors have an impact and surely a worthwhile impact.

The student’s perspective:

Students enter the top b-school with a lot of hope, dreamy eyes, high on success of cracking the entry level barrier, everyone around them in the society looking upto them as heroes. Soon they realise that however tough the entry may be, the next two years and finally passing out from the instituion is a much tougher game.

Everyone enters a top b-school with a great level of pride. But only a few remain with the same level of pride when they move out.

Fear, insecurity, compulsions rule your instincts and decision for the next two years. Students get conditioned to be perfect part of systems rather than create systems of their own.

People who leave jobs of 6 lacs and spend two valueable years of their life at a b-school get so insecure about a 10 lac job like it’s their purpose in life to get that job and they look to go into depression if such an opportunity seems to get distant.

So finally what can students extract out of a b-school?

· Consider yourself lucky if you can make some very good friends for life, because b-school is not an ideal college atmosphere. With so much hatred and negetivity around only few lucky people get good friends.

· Study enough to be at par in most subjects and pursue those subjects that interest you passionately apart from the regular course curriculum. Talk to professors because they can give you learning in 10 minutes which it would have taken them 10 years of experience to learn themselves.

· A b-school is a treasure vault of network and contacts. Make use of it.

· Find a reason for being in a b-school apart from academics and placements. Otherwise life can really be hell.

· Initiatives in student activities: There is a direct level of difference in the personality, attitude, mindset of those who participate or are incharge of things and events and the rest of the crowd

· Social work: My personal experience says it can be one of the best things you can do to yourself. Engage in a cause. Helps you throughout your life. Can even get you a job (ask Prajnan). It was my reason for existence and my way of leaving a mark in a top b-school. I learnt so much more in this process rather than classes and projects. Value for a lifetime.

· Enjoy the non 9-6 job routine, because most people might be doing that for the rest of their lives. Enjoy the crazy night life and schedules and make it a memorable two years of being a student again.

· Make a mark. Make you presence felt. Try going out of the b-school with more pride than with what you entered this place.

All the best J

A tribute to a modern cricket legend 'MSD'

I don't remember whether the jingle was made by Red FM or Radio mirchi, but here it goes:

'Dhoni ke lambe lambe baal, Dhoni ki mast mast chaal,

O Dhoni.. O Dhoni'

When he got the first break in Indian Cricket team, i remember media covering him as the kind of wicketkeeper that Dada (Saurav Ganguly..need i mention this) wanted. A person who can bat and also keep a bit. MSD's first story struck you with a bit of sympathy for the young lad, who had made it to the team by playing on rough fields in Jharkhand.

He came to the team and struck big time. Here we had another Sehwag in the making. In his own way of playing shots, some called it the 'Jharu pull' the way he swept the ball out of the park. And this guy could do it consistently. The 183 against Sri Lanka made sure that his style wasn't fluke. So did Indian Cricket get another Sehwag? Nope , even better.

This guy randomly made cricket captain for T-20 which neither Indian Team had domestically played, nor I guess the selectors ever took that version seriously. But surprise surprise!! after a long long time we won a cricket world cup. MSD who led India like a manner not seen in a long long time, created reasons for an entire nation to sing, dance, shout at the last misbah shot and dance when we held the cup. The nation had got a hero.

Now doubts emerged. When will this guy fail? He has been continuously doing well. Nobody succeeds for this long a time in Indian Cricket scenario. He was looked at with critical eyes full of envy by everyone around him. He was made captain of both ODI and eventually Test side of India. And again, this guy has not learnt to fail!! The Indian ODI side which could not win finals or a tournament for 8-10 times in a row, started winning. Yes, world cup was a big big disappointing event. But as I write this post Indian cricket team is creating History to become the No. 1 cricket team in Test ranking. And this has been from an effort of 18 months of playing in India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. Places where India was known to lose always. Many historical records broke in this process and even today one will be created.

Noteworthy points :

1) While he captained the side he had four former captains playing with him (sachin, dada, kumble and dravid) all of who had made name in cricket when this guy never even learnt to pick up a bat. But this guy led with great humility earning respect and love of one and all.

2) He was blunt. He knew how to answer back. Be it any opposition captain or even critical media, he could answer them all in their face. But while accepting success and failures, he humbly managed both.

3) He is the brand ambassador of the street smartness of India. The way he plays, the methods he employs in captaining the side. Its not conventional wisdom, its just the street smartness and his gut feel that makes him so successful.

4) And yes we did not get another Sehwag. MSD could actually mold his game so well as per situations. Changing his conventional style didn't earn him many fans but earned him amazing consistency. If you look at his records. Both in ODI and test they are just awesome. I hardly remember him getting out early in any important game for quite some long time now.

And as i write this, India have just become the no.1 side in test cricket.

In Prof. MKS style, I would say 'MSD I salute you' :) :)

the tortoise story!

once upon a time there was a small tortoise

living in his safe shell

world outside was dark

he was comfortable in his cozy shell

people came and kicked him

well world is like that

they try to kick those who think are safer than they themselves are

they want ever1 to be in as bad a situation as they are in

but this little tortoise

moved ahead slowly

he used to go to a school

there used be many teachers

he hated them all

he liked reading only stories

he developed a liking for language

all else seemed much of time waste

he was confident that one day in a class of rabbits he would be seen

but he was bullied

daily

poor he

the best friend of his was his pen

so he worte down things

random as it went

one day a fairy came

it was a teacher

but not like any other

this teacher was different

she had a spark in her eyes

he knew she wouldnt kill him for not doing his homework

he could somehow find comfort in her words

and found trust in her things

she didn't bully him like others

she saw his written stuff

called up his parents and said

this child may not be a genious

but this tortoise is really special

u must take great care of him

to tortoise the teacher meant the world to him

bcoz no1 else had ever shown that trust before

he felt his shell was shining now

some rabbits were noticing

then a terribe thing happend

the teacher left the school

things went back to normal again

rabbits were back to racing and bullyinf

but this time there was something different about this tortiose

it was the fact that he knew he was special

he never raced against the rabbits

one reason was that honestly he was scared of losing badly to them

secondly he had never won a race himself

so wasnt all that confident

things and life moved on

this tortoise kept racing ahead

racing against himself

kept racing

he could see himself changing

now he was half rabbit half tortoise

from outside he was fast and effective

but inside that same sweet tortoise

5 years went by like a wind

he never talked to any of the rabbits before

he did eventually found one rabbit of his school

his first crush.. but only to know that she was getting married next week

didnt bother him much though

now that he had seen a lot of world

but when he contacted the other rabbits

he was shocked

they were shocked

at what he had become

he was very different

miles miles ahead

nobody could imagine him where he is now

because he wasnt racing with them

he was racing against himself

they kept pulling each other down

he kept pushing himself above

and finally he realized there was no race at all

no competition

he was the race

he was the competition

:)

PS: Thank you Ruby Christopher mam :)

Rains!!

Well it was just a drizzle half an hour ago.. But a totally unexpected one and I just loved it.. The fragrance in the atmosphere after the rains is amazing..

Rains have a special place in my life.. I can recall different emotions at different times in my life when it rained:

Cozy warm feeling : As a child I used to get cold very easily and whenever it rained I would get sick and would lay on my bed watching the rains outside in my comfy quilt with the amazing warm tea that mom used to make for me

Crazy footballer feeling: The day before the class 12th boards results were declared, I along with other society friends played crazy football in society ground(more of a mud pool) and when we came back home we were so drenched by mud, my mom almost disowned me :)

Feeling of true love: Graduation days.. My first date in the lanes of North Campus. I knew the rains weren't a coincident. It was love! an amazing feeling....

Craving for pakodas feeling: This is common in all rains but I remember devouring amazing pyaaz ke pakode with my family at our outing to Bharmore in Himachal and it rained and snowed..

Kullar waali chai feeling: During my office days at Hewitt, I used to instigate the urge to go down from the 6th floor and drink the roadside kullar waali chai..and when it rained the whole work floor could be seen at the kullar waali chai stall..

Shuttle 28 gang bhasad feeling: This one is really special.. I along with my gang called Shuttle28 playing badminton while there is standing water in badminton court and its continuously raining and the whole society watching us go crazy playing badminton..

Despair and frustration feeling: When starting the first paathshala of our NGO in rohini slum areas..we had to quit the place because the place where we went to teach got filled with water and the drainage assured that the water stayed there for one month..

Go out and get wet feeling: This is one feeling that stays every time it rains.. whether be with friends or even sitting alone in my room like I was half an hour ago..

One feeling that I get whenever it rains is to just go out and get wet :) :)

I am just waiting for the next rains to happen!

To live truly (random thoughts)

What is the laughter that doesn't cause pain in the stomach..

What is the hand that didn't even try to become the midas touch..

What is the heart that didn't even try to fall in love and get hurt and fall in love again..

What is the eye that got so busy looking around that it didn't have the time to dream..

What is the dream that didn't even have the power to kill your sleep..

What is a life that didn't even made an attempt to be called great..

What is the soul which never tried to question its existence..

What is a person who compromised for something less than the best..

What is a life that let circumstances script its story..

Live your dreams truly!!

Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani.. ;)

This one goes out to you captain and my mochi sweetie..

This post is dedicated to the fundoo couple both of whom have been my bestest friends :)

Captain(our himu, yes difficult to believe that this most confused, lost and %$%#* guy in the world is a pilot) and mochi (ritu the sweetheart, the queen of bakar, she has the undisputed title for continuous non stop bakar that any girl can do)

Hello party people, I am not sud ;) but still will read out for you :)

Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani ke chapter no 15 ke page no 3 ke upar ka pehle incident:

Captain gets locked up in his own house till 11:00am in the morning and gives us a panic call to bring keys of his house from his sister and mother(Yes they do occasionally lock him up :))

In the meanwhile out mochi arrives in Delhi for a day visit to attend sister's engagement ceremony.

After we free Captain from his own house, he leaves for dwarka (he would not admit easily but one of his priorities is to surprise mochi and ask her to come outside her house to meet him). But in the meantime our mochi decides to give her own little surprise and has arrived near Captain's house to give him a surprise. Poor mochi calls me up and asks where is Himu?

I could not help but burst out laughing that both of them are near each others place and think of surprising each other at the same instant :)

Well truly this is just one of the crazy incidents of this ajab prem ki gajab kahani :)

All of us had the most amazing time when we were together in Delhi.. miss you all..

When emergency was imposed second time by Indira!!

Well well!! after a gap of three months (a crazy writer's block) I am back again.

But I would give the credit for making me write again to Indira Gandhi :)

Yes the lady(the only man in her cabinet) made me write again.

It has been a crazy week in media. With 25th anniversary of Indira Gandhi (date of birth or death anniversary..well i don't really care) Indira Gandhi is all over media. When you open the morning newspaper she has a full page tribute on every alternate page till 8 pages!!!! with some or the other ministry paying her tribute.

Then when I see the news channels on television, all across the channels I see images of Indira and talk shows based upon her. As my friend Amit says ,''They must have shown Rahul Gandhi pays his respect with flowers at her grave at least a million times''

It looks like a PR exercise for Indira Gandhi. She must have made a TRP record this week.

But here the audience is forced and the media purchased.

In the earlier emergency the media was silenced and in this second emergency put on media for the past one week all they have been saying with their purchased voices is 'Indira'

And my friend Himanshu asks me,''was this kind of attention even given to Mahatma Gandhi himself?''

Then I tell him,'' Of course he wasn't a part of the Gandhi family ;)''

Well Indira, you have irritated me to such an extent that you finally made me write :)

This piece is my tribute to 'Indira' ;)
