Time for a fresh start

One of the resolutions this year, the one which seemed the easiest was to get back to writing... Apparently, it still took 3 months to get started. There's a small voice in my mind that says moving the mind from writing emails - where no one bothers to correct grammar, punctuations and articulation beyond the bare minimum TO a post on a blog would actually help some of those grey cells remain alive.

The more I read what the past me had to write, the more I despair in how narrow my thoughts and thought process are becoming. Something needs to change - something that would enable a creative outlow, something that I would be proud of beyond the 4 walls at home and the many at work.

Atleast, in the true sense of the word... these are the rhetorics of a cribster !

I'm yours

Just can't seem to get this one out of my head and heart these days :-)

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted

I fell right through the cracks

and now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out

I'll be giving it my bestest

Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention

I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing

We're just one big family

And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait I'm sure

There's no need to complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate, I'm yours

Scooch closer dear

and i will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror

And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer

My breath fogged up the glass

And so I drew a new face and laughed

I guess what i be saying is there ain't no better reason

To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons

It's what we aim to do

Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait I'm sure

There's no need to complicate

Our time is short

this is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find the sky is yours

Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me

A lá one big family (2nd time: A lá happy family; 3rd time: A lá peaceful melody)

It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love

I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm sure

There's no need to complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate, I'm yours

No please, don't complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate, I'm yours

No please, don't hesitate

no more, no more

It cannot wait

The sky is your's! 

Testing 1..2...3...

Soon, pretty soon. Hang in there!

Ahmedbad -> Paris -> Ahmedabad

Adding to a week long struggle between Mumbai, Gurgaon & Ahmedabad is a 2 day trip to Paris. Proving my point about an absolutely impulsive life is the fact that I got a job offer around 4:30 pm yesterday ... planned a trip in 30 min ... went shopping and borrowing stuff all across campus till 1 am ... started packing at 3 am ... and reached the airport at 7 am.

At Ahmedabad airport right now, I'm awaiting the huge line of gujjus ahead of me to shorten down substantially, don;t care even if I'm the last guy to board :-/ ... Even with a working wi-fi connection, Ahmedabad will still be Ahmedabad... For the past 10 min, Emirates hostesses are shouting out announcements for a kirtiben shah and a shardaben patel ...


Cheers

News - how credible are they?

Just opened yesterday's newspaper to see how "IIMA's placements" have panned out [And I'm part of the placement committee :P]. Nothing like a media angle to any phenomenon.

To elucidate my point, here's the scene - Only around 3 - 5 banks visited campus ... as against thrice the number of consulting firms. And this is the kind of picture the outside world gets to see:

Brings me to wonder - any news article CANNOT be taken as truth with closed eyes. So, if the media isn't playing the role of archiving human history in an unbiased manner, who is? Humanity needs an unbiased and accurate custodian - maybe this could be a business idea ... to establish a stream of news / data that cannot be disputed. And with the emergence of hip, constantly buzzing social media I don't think it's a far away dream.

Anxious

Of interviews and cults...

Placements time is here again, and although I've been *part* of four placement processes at IIM-A now, things are way too different when you are in the process rather than running it. For e.g., as a student rep you are aiming to get 300 commodities placed into 100 firms in the best way possible. And as an applicant you are 1 unique person looking for that 1 unique firm that can be your springboard to a splendid career. It is and has been very difficult to change modes from one mindset to the other - but I think I have the hang of it now!

On a lighter note, found this utterly hilarious video on a colleague's status message. Has brought a smile to many faces on campus; hope it does here too :)

Appled

Lost the competition & the sexy N97 yesterday ... even after the intensive night out... :(

Today was a new day (yesterday was actually, it's 2:40 am!) - won an iPod nano 8 GB today ... this was all due to an impulsive entry to a competition on campus

One more impulsive, quick entry to a contest 2 months back got me a Paris trip in Feb :-)

Impulsiveness is hence my forte. Note to self, trust your guts.

Cheers
