aaaaa aaaa aaahahahaha ....(war cry ..... )

ever heard anything like this before (i am referring to the title box.....add whatever phonetics u like....but the energy should come from within :o)...ha ha....HR lingo :0))......u might have heard such shouts in red indian movies etc etc....but here in WIMWI.....this sound is omnipresent...(hope the word is correct.....).....mai kya likh raha hoon yaar
hahahahahahahahahahaha
basically....what i mean to say is everyone (most of us.....there are always some fundus) is screwed up due to the exams from tomorrow.....so i just tried taking out my frustration in this blog.....its like those hindi movies...where the hero is screwed up in office...n then comes back home...n invariably ends up quarellin with wife n kids...n the family is screwed up....n then they separate...then hero realizes his mistakes.....n then they reconcile...n then they life happily ever after........right now.....the only hope i have is the thought of the HAPPILY EVER AFTER part
nothing more to add....have to see how do i locate fair price shops fairly......something to ponder upon............

REM

REM....its not the music band of the 80's (or was it 90's)...right now....i dont give a damn (the word damn has a lot of imp in this post :o))
REM bole to REMedial Session ....its the usual stuff in WIMWI....which happens every now n then for lesser mortals like me who fail to understand the stuff being taught in class...or are used to last minute cramming for the exams
usually its taken by students....tuchas or fundu fachas......ie 2nd yrs or fundu 1st yrs.....or sometimes academic associates..who help out the faculty...or like today (since there are just two days to the exam) by faculty also
so today we had a REM in economics
everyone went with the sole purpose of getting some of the exam questions...or some subtle hint of exam questions....so the tacit rule was....keep your mouth shut n let the prof speak
but some great one amongst us had significant doubts...n hence.....the class went into a long discussion...with no hint of any question
i am not saying it was good or bad....all i am saying was the group purpose was not fulfilled :o)
so that was tat.......then i went ahead n attended REMs for OM n Quant
they went on till 3:30
to think bout it...in engg attending a class in the morning was such a pain
n here i am voluntarily attending classes till 3:30 in the night :o)
ha ha ha ha ....i dont know why i am laughing
now i have to go in for a night out.....gotto catch up on economics :o)
god ... gimme strenght to keep these eyelids open for the next 20 hours....plz plz plz plz
maine aaj tak tujhse kuch nahi maanga lekin aaj maangta hoon types
AMEN :o)

class participation

class participation........that is one of the prime components in our curriculum for any subject
but then for a nocturnal creature like me....(who so much wants to be a lark).........its a very vague ... ambiguous .... i am not getting the right word
neway..........sleeping at 5 in the morning makes one not so fit for a 9 o clock class
but i managed coz the class was imp
then came the 10:30 class........it involves switching on the projector and switching off few of the lights
present this scenario to a sleep deprived individual....what do u get.............ZZZZZZZZZ
slept off....again.....in the 10:30 class today........and i felt...like i always do...that i am actually able to listen to everything that the prof was saying....i even woke up in between for a minute and asked him a pertinent question n slept off again :o)
in the third lecture......in one of those moments....when i dozed off...i felt like someone was trying to hit me...n i wake up suddenly and jerk my hand in the air....good thing i was the only one who noticed.... :o)
but then i have to give credit to myself...the professori cracked a joke...i was asleep when it happened......but when the joke was over....my eyes opened up...met the profs eyes...n we both broke into wide grins.....this is called timing.....add to it the fact that i was the only one...other than the prof....who smiled......if others did...i could not stay awake to notice it
but then my resolution of staying awake in class after t-nite is intact :o)
so keeping my fingers crossed n hoping for the best (this is what someone very imp says when something very imp is said :o) )
oh btw...its 5:50 in the morning....so i guess i should hit the bed...in another half n hour or so
good...night....morning...night .... morning.....night ... morning....watever....suit urself :o)

walk like an egyptian



why this title...(i guess i should start every blog justifying the title....coz i myself find it pretty strange :o) ....he he).......the answer is....i dunno :o)
maybe as we proceed i will find a reason...maybe i will change it...then u wont even know what the initial title was :o)
forget it
today was ..... wont say hectic.....okay eventful :o)
classes started as usual.....morning was WAC.....got the highest grade in class...muwahahahaha.....finally i get highest in something.....its such a welcome feeling when u r among the lowest in most of the other subjects.....but i will change that too (oh i am arrogant aint i :o) )
neway.....after WAC...came HRM...n as usual global gyan....HRM ie Human Resource Mgmt (i wouldnt have put the full form here....but one particular very imp person once told me that by saying HRM i was trying to sound hi fi :o).....so i want to make sure that i am still perceived as i am...down to earth)......so much global gyan.....i could not help falling asleep.....with the prof standing right in front of me.....at a distance of what.....0.75 mtrs...n talking to the guy sitting right behind me.... :o) nothing to feel proud of...i know...but still.....chalta hai :o)
then came Economics.....its was good..i was prepared today....n found eco interesting today when i could understand what was being taught in class :o)....so that means i have another 3 odd hours to wake up today :o)
watever
haan...after eco....i was supposed to come back to my room....laze around...n get ready for a photo shoot....the placement commitee is getting photos taken for the summers ... its the traditional WIMWI summers photo...with the red brick wall in the back drop.....my photo shoot slot was at 3.23PM......the class got over at 1:25PM....we walked away slowly to the canteen....discussing about t-nite..(refer to my previous post for gyan on t-nite :o)).....coz we were fearless.....why were we fearless...coz next week we have mid terms.....n the week before mid terms WIMWI PGP1 usually does not have any quizzes...but destiny had other plans for us...enter MANAC...that is managerial accounting....where we have to balance sheets.....which never balance :o(
so the quiz was scheduled at 2:30.....i read this notice at 1:45.....so that gave me.....45 mins to go to my room ... shit (yes nature calls when u have other calls to attend to)...take a bath...oh sorry shave n take a bath.......apply shampoo also....coz my hair stand out otherwise ... n then get dressed semiformally.....i will explain the term semiformally soon......n then go for the quiz....get screwed in it...then come back n go for the photo shoot......i never knew till today that i could be so efficient...i did all the above n reached the class by 2:20 :o)
neway....quiz...no comments.....went for the photo shoot....dressed semiformally....ok..now i will explain semi-formally....it includes a suit.....with a formal shirt....n a tie...all shaved n hair combed....that is the formal part...the semi part is.....a mismatching pant..n hawai chappals :o)
the funda here is the photo is upto the chest....so below that what i wear (or donot wear ;o)) does not matter

so i went semi formally...n then got my photo taken.....n came back :o)
then the same old story......tried studin...fell asleep...ah yes...exchanged a few very imp mails
then fell asleep (for which i have to compensate now :o))....n then went for a dorm dinner....then went for t-nite dance auditions......will be dancing on a tamil (or maybe gulti) song.....nice music :o)
initially i was one of the solo dancers ... like its three couples n three solo dancers....one of the guys had other things to do....so i got promoted to dancing as a couple ;o)
neway.....that done......dance practice went on till 11:30...then back to room...on the way...talked to one of my class mates..this guy has a terrific profile......talked a bit bout his life....he has had just one love in his life...that ws 4-5 yrs back...n then since then......nothing......sounded pretty familiar to me.......though not completely a similar story as mine
but then that is a personal n different story al together.....so lets not delve (or even try to) delve into the details
after all this....now back to mugging.......oh...totally forgot....had a photo session with my study group also....will try to put one photo of that too...in case i am able to.....i am the person in the helmet......(u wont understand unless u see the photo....should be uploading that in orkut soon....so now u know one more place to keep checking :o))
(formatting ki wat lag gayi :o( )

ah before i end....the title...maybe it signifies the dance i did today :o)
adios

soch saale....title soch...soch saale....title soch

if anyone asks me what is marginal revenue right now.....i am gonna kill him
for the sole reason that economics is an interesting subject...but not when u r trying to mug 300 odd pages with all kinds of convoluted curves........in one day....so that u can try n make out some sense of the 10 pages the prof is gonna teach the next day :o)
he he.......
neway....i had christened this blog as marginal revenue...but then i think i will change it :o)
haan.....preps are goin on for T-nite.....its this inter section event that happens here at WIMWI every year.....the inter section faccha meet
right now one of the sections has started out on their tempo shout......we have this funda of tempo shout here
i beleive its a great way to let out ur frustration.........people go out in groups......groups can be of the dorm, or of the section.....or whatever....n they go out n shout to everyone that they rock....(not mentioning the exact words.....u can call me up n find out... :o) )......neway....the people who r being shouted at...can make all sorts of noise to dampen the tempo of the shouters....n can also "DUNK" them...that is the word for throwing water.....just one respite i u get "dunked"... u can rest assured....the water is bathing water....from a clean bucket.....not like my previous college...engg college....where the water was filled in toilet buckets (i personally dont see the difference...but many people used to say yuck...so probably its not clean :o) )
one thing i realized here....is people digress a lot.....or maybe just i do
forget it
haan....so i went for dance auditions today.................WIPE THAT GRIN OFF UR FACE :oX
i can dance.........just that i need the steps coreographed.....same as i can act....i need a script
if u ask me dance on a song without specifying the steps...then its gonna be the same old bakar dance with me just jumping along
so i went to class n was asked to dance on a song....result.....was jumping around....but in a rhytm...... :o)......maybe i will get a chance to dance.....dekhte hai.......logo ne kaha to tha...bataas acha tha....(hope it was appreciation n not cosolance :o) )
neway.....am supposed to be in the creative team....very good...only one problem...i dont have a creative mind...at least not in terms of slogans n posters ;o)
neway.....that is a different issue
so now i am back in my room.........thinking of what is the column input vector n the row input vector.....
one piece of advice to any n every cat aspirant......rather IIM A aspirant...plz plz plz study MS Excel beforehand........
hmmmm what else......this blog is turning more into a diary....... :o)
haan........read another blog today....it was pretty structured.....n interesting too.....in fact i changed the background of my blog after seeing that blog......partly for the aesthetic sense :o)
haan....i guess my blog would define how u can have sturucture in a mess.......mess bole to chaos
sam.....no fundas on chaos theory plz
haan...yaha par mess ka khaana bahut sahi hai
i guess i should stop now :o)

4 o clock


4 o clock.........there was a time this represented a target wake up time .... now its a target "going to bed" time :o)
slept off in the evening (read 10 PM to 1 AM :o) ).....so now compensating :o(
my evening nap denied me of a chance to play table tennis.......it would have been a much needed break from the regular mugging........but no regrets....gotto take life as it comes...n as a future manager....gotto be prepared for contingencies like this (isnt 4 AM in the morning a great time to give gyan :o) )
today i gave my first e-mail fundae to a CAT aspirant..........felt good :o)
but then every time someone asks me......what did u do to crack cat....give us some gyan.....its very similar to someone asking me......why is my computer not working.....(i am SUPPOSED to be a computer science engg)........how am i supposed to know why ur computer is not working... 4 yrs in engg....i managed to get a good percentage...but then i keep telling everyone...ur percentage never reflects ur knowledge...i am a case in point :o)....i dont know the basic comp sci concepts of OS......how am i supposed to know why ur comp is not working ... even if i did know OS still i cant be expected to know why ur comp is not working
neway........before i drift from the matter n get senti on the computer stuff...yes.....where was i...haan...what fundae can i give on cracking CAT
for me...it was loads of hard work....loads of psyching myself to beleiving that "yes i can do it" and finally......i dunno.....luck.....god.....dont really beleive in destiny........but ur day.....how it goes...sure does play a part...... :o)
neway...i gave gyan......on what i felt can be given...no global gyan.... :o) hope was some help to the aspirant
hmm....now time to go back to economic analysis.....WHY DOES THE LONG RUN AVERAGE COST CURVE ENVELOPE THE SHORT RUN AVERAGE COST CURVES .................... aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mein kampf

its a struggle...it really is....when u r fighting against time to stay awake in ur room...then ur eyelids feel like heavy weights n ur ears strive to listen to the words of the prof......when u see ur quiz marks n feel like running away to nowhere n smoking away in peace...just to forget the present......when u fall asleep while studin n wake up n curse urself for lying down n studin......when everything being taught in class sounds like latin...n u wish u had managed to wake up that extra hour to study this subject also...........n then u think.....i am not going to give up.......i am much more stronger than this......u can screw me now....but i will have the last laugh.....n when this feeling makes u keep goin...
n i am gonna keep on goin...........i am gonna have the last laugh.........muwahahahahaha

long time

i was of the opinion that i shld not write a blog of a past event...unless i document it immediately its of no use...but then the other day came across the blog of one of the most imp people in my life (no further questions on this :o) ).....it was really beautiful to see how that person had put down some very memorable n imp events of her life on one day.......so date does not matter
like the people who always advise me in writing SOPs (i really suck at that) say...its the content that matters not global gyan
so here i am writing......
i just wanted to write bout this person in my college.....the amount of courage and determination she showed........she had lost someone very close to her....her father.......but then when i met her a couple of days later.........her eyes showed her sorrow but her face showed that she had accepted the inevitable n had decided to get on with life.......seldom have i seen such courage.....my words might sound disconnected but then i dont know how to phrase this
it was one of those few moments when i involuntarily respected someone
neway.......this is something i wanted to write for a long time....bout 2 weeks...but never managed to manage my time to come down n write it...but then am getting better at it...or i like to think so :o)
adios

khooni hafta.....


hmmmmm.....this bloggin thingy is something i cant really understand
maine is blog ko naya title dene ki koshish ki....lekin kambakth maanta hi nahi

neway coming back to why i came here.......
i got registered into college on 22nd.....n then came the storm
(right now am listening to a song...which ends with dawm....n i wrote storm......so its a rhyme...ding dong.....he he........exageration is not good :o)
neway......after registration started the real welcome to the college...........i have never had to study so much in my life....not even for my engineering degree final yr exams did i study till 5 or 6 in the morning......n here i am now.......studying for the next day's class till 5 in the morning....only to wake up at 6:30 out of the unbearable heat (it has started raining a bit now...so its much more comfortable)
hmm........one is not supposed to sleep in the class.........its obvious...whn u have profs of the calibre we do........who are ranked among the top 3 in their field in not only india...but the world...of course sleeping is not an option
during the break given between classes.....i run to the rest room.....n splash my eyes with water....water....dear water
once the effect of water dies down........i resort to pinching myself to avoid falling asleep
but then all days are not like this...these are days when i got 1.5 - 2 hours of sleep
when i get about 4 hours of sleep i feel so so so lucky :o)
everyday or rather mid day post classes in the mess, there is the fear of a quiz notice being put up on the quiz notice board.........this first week it hasnt been there.....but that just means....next week....its gonna be a frequent visitor of the notice board....n more reason for sleepless nights (sleepless........sone ko milta hi kaha hai :o( )
but then there are many people who manage to sleep 5-6 hours regularly...at least have managed to do that for this first week
they are no gods....they just manage their time better....so i guess i have a lot of work to do in that field
2 saal ki bakar ne bahut hi nikamma bana diya hai :o)
neway have made some good friends in the dorm i am in...n i hope they remain friends for life
also some friends in the college
looking forward to making more friends here :o)
aur kya........haan....i noticed a strange phenomenon....i have been here for under 2 weeks...but it feels like i have been here for over 2-3 months...the people who have been here for 2 odd months....feel like they have been here for a year......lagta hai neend poori nahi hone se aadmi satiya jaata hai
anyway.......nothing much that i can write here
so signing off.....baaki entries meri diary mein jayengi :o)
