2009 to 2011, a hell lot of difference

2011-08-28T05:00:00.000-07:00

Before writing this post, had checked out the previous blogs i have written and i think i was much better writer than i am now.

From fleet marketing officer of sambalpur divisional office to the consumer sales officer of sambalpur, the life has changed dramatically. Earlier, i had the luxury of time to do the things i wished to but now, i am completely controlled by so many external things that i end up having no time for myself.

in previous post, i had written at least one person would read my blog in a year, but i, myself opened the age after 2.5 years and zero blogging in 2010. And to the utter disappointment i had to Google my blog site as i forget even the name of my blog.

Well, now i cannot promise that i can maintain this blog anymore. lastly i would expect it to open at least once in a year or even before 2015.

God bless me

My New DELL Studio Laptop

2009-01-06T10:04:00.000-08:00

Well. i am very happy to have a new dell studio Laptop with 4GB ram, but only dissatisfaction is that my OS is Windows Vista. Anyways i am satisfied for the work i do as i have grown up old as another Year has Started and i am less interested in downloading and the all the techie stuff which i did on the HP Pavillion t220i desktop and my Compaq V5000 Laptop, when i was a teen.

Long gone are those days when i used to be a teen, those beautiful days of smoke and dust on a green. These days i cant even find time to write a blog, not because i am busy in am work, but because of the simple reason i am LAZY. I pray myself to be more active and enterprising, as it will reward me one way or the other.

The only reason i am writing this blog is i want at least one reader in one year to read my blog so that my writing of this blog is not a waste. I know it is a much more to hope at this point of time as i am not updating it regularly, But i will be TRYING to regularly come with some or the other intersting thing.

2008-06-18T23:22:00.000-07:00

Well, it has been a long time i am posting. Well this is just a test text which i am checking to get back into the habit of blogging.

Now at this moment i have completed my MBA focused in Oil & Gas Sector from IPMG (Institute of Petroleum Management).

I am Placed in Indian Oil Corporation Limited. Well as of now that's it.

Taj Residency Ummed, Ahmedabad

2007-03-19T11:11:00.000-07:00

This is my first blog in this year as well in my MBA. I am right now pursuing my PGDM(post graduate diploma in management) focussed in Oil & Gas sector. This field intersted me before joining the course,now its more than interesting. Now this sector is everything to me as it is my future. I regret myself for updating my blog for so long time as thought of updating my blog regularly before joining the management course,but the time is so limited here that blog obviously falls down the priority list.

Well what me write now is that there is some free time as its the start of the second term,and importantly today our college IPMG had a party in taj residency ummed at ahmedabad. The party basically was organised by D.J pandian,Vice chairman and managing director of GSPC. It was basically organised by pandian himself to know each of 60 persons more closely. All our professors were there,it was good but was not that much that i had expected. Some students spoke about their experiences of term 1 and all the professors spoke. Then it was followed by buffet dinner. The dinner was ok, as the roti was not good and the rice was good.

So,at this point still waiting for some more parties asthey were promised by D.J Pandian.

D-day:its all over

2006-11-23T00:29:00.000-08:00

So,finally the D-day has come and gone.Its all over now,so the time has come for every one to relax and keep the fingers crossed. The key for CAT 2006 have been put up many institutes,and they are many ambiguties in english as far as i have seen.So,its all over now,its now just upto the IIM's to their part of work now.

Now i am in real dilemma,whether to go for MBA or GRE,as both have been equally moderate.And at this moment i cant give up anything as i am still not secured about the next.So its really hard time,and still not able to decide exactly what to take up.

I am finally relaxing in two minds,not really thinking about the next.Living with the present.Coming to CAT 2006,the papers for me was not really easy as it was for everyone.I even think that paper was not so easy because,english was tougher than the last year with 5 options resembling every other option.so naturally chosing one from five is more difficult and not convincing like chossing one from four. Coming to DI,it was rather the same,i mean the difficulty compared to 2005 was almost same and no surprises in this section.The biggest surpise was the quant section,it was relatively easy than the last 4-5 years.This easiness in quant is so much hyped that it is shawdowing the rest of the papers,which was almost of the so called CAT standard.

Nobody would have surmised the number of questions eventhough they might have given Mock CATS of the same format,it was just another surprise. So finally it has been another typical CAT paper is what i feel.

And the time has come to relax,recharge and repair,not for LIFE but for CAT

Nearing to the day

2006-11-03T03:39:00.000-08:00

As the CAT is fast approaching,its seems like nearing the road to nowhere with so much less preparation.it was better last year as i had not prepared and had taken it as one more paper and getting 90 percentile was easy.This time the pressure is there and the need to do after wasting almost a year ,i am feeling the very bit of pressure. Anyways its better feeling the pressure in earlier stage of life than later.

Anyways,whatever happens ,it doesnt really matter much. What really matter to me is how i react to the situation and people make me react to it. It will be good that people dont put extra pressure on me. And Also high time for me brush with with the basics i have one,cover some important points and analyse some strong and weak areas. But u never know CAT is a pack of surprises as everyone says,then again u need to have the required preparation for it,you should never led by it in a negative way

And whatelse,Hoping for the CAT to go on smoothly and make something useful of the result,as i have wasted almost an year for it,eventhough i did nothin for it,thats my mistake.So right now looking as another day coming as

"AS COOL AS CUCUMBER IS THE THEME OF THE GAME"

Hot Afternoon in Club 8

2006-08-22T22:48:00.000-07:00

This time i am back with a bang, I had alcohol and beer after nearly 3 months.This is the first time i went for a pub in hyderabad. All this started when on saturday i called back a unknown missed call local landline number. Oh,it was swaroop back in hyderabd bunking his classes of IMT,Ghaziabad.so we planned out to meet the next day,it was Monday.

It was monday and it was already 10AM,woke up so late again. So i called to ask him when are we going to meet,he was asleep and so i got ready so that he will call up in a while.After some he called me up and told that he will call me up when he will start up in his home.

It was pleasent meeting some one of my college after so many days. I was overwhemled by seeing him,and reminiscencing the old college days,they have become really old becouse it has been three months since we are out of college now.We met at hyderbad central,punjagutta.We chatted for a while and moved onto prasad Imax for watching Vikramarkudu(telugu movie),but presently there was no show.so as he was hungry we moved onto McDonalds,there we decided to forfeit my class and move to some bar.

First we went to BNC(Bottles and chimneys)begumpet,but were heavily disappointed as we were not allowed due to the dresscode(no sandals allowed,only shoes).Sp we moved onto CluB 8 ,and Gosh it was as if i was in heaven again on HOT AFTERNOON.so we started with a beer and we were quaffing,and next we ordered BLENDERS PRIDE ON THE ROCKS.so we both enjoyed a couple of on the rocks each.The music played here awesome as we heard some of the classics of bob dylan,elvis presley and pink floyd.Time was racing at a rapid speed and it was already 7PM,so we now decide for the movie which we have planned it earlier.so went there collected the tickes and had a lazy walk on the necklace road and were back in hall at the start of the movie,7.45PM.

After the movie at 10.30,We bid farewell and had planned to meet again.

Review Of Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna

2006-08-14T09:35:00.000-07:00

Ofcourse ,i am not any movie critic who reviews movies regurlarly,i am just giving a try at reviewing it. As ,i had lot of freetime and nothing to do in the day, i got beard shaved after one long month,i dindnt actual wanted to shave it off but forcing from people made to do it. Somethings have to be done by the wishes of others.Anways,the movie i had gone to is kabhi alvida naa kehna and i am going to review it.

kabhi alvida naa kehna(never say goodbye)
Director - karan johar
starring - sharukh khan,amitabh bachchan,abhishek bachachan,rani mukerji,preity zinta and kiron kher.
speacial apperances - arjun rampal,john abraham (whers the party tonite song) and even kajol.

To start with,i will rate the movie 6 of 10.

It wasnt really fun watching the movie.karan choosed a different storyline,but that all wasnt enough.Basically, the movie was very narrow lined,i mean to say that it was going on a straight track,it was confined to one story it didnt had any side stories or characters to make the story relieving. It was imposing ,forcing the viewers to comcentrate on one story for some 3 odd hours. Any one would get bores at some point of time in the movie.

Coming to characters, Sharukh is again the star of the movie, Ranis role had really nothing to perform except being sad against abhishek. Abhishek did whatever he could do. The rest amitabh,kiron and priety had played their roles well. Is karan or dharma productions after kajol? . I dont know why they always bring kajol in their movies,i really dont understand it.

Afterall it is one more bollywood flick.

Remembering Old Days

2006-08-11T08:16:00.000-07:00

As these days i have literally nothing to except eating,reading newspaper ,sleeping and browsing.When i was browsing today,i came across this picture and it reminded me of the old days.When i,ankur and bacha(we were regular and always used to go together) and some one else,Ofourse we used not to order these ostly wines,but the best what a college student can afford.we used to enjoy the day which usually began in afternoon lunch,and the time after lunch we used to decide where we have to go,this was the greatest problem because we all differed in our opinion or said nothing.

Usually,i used to deny all the names ankur and bacha used to say, and ankur was the guy who used to read out all the names of the bars in the city(NOIDA) from A-Z. But i always used to deny him,because there was lots of fun denying him.Its really unfortunate that i didnt capture any of his expressions when i used to ignore the bar he used to name,his expression was almost like "behan**** aukat mein raho" types and never used to express his expressions to us as he was patient and also if he expresses it he would be in great trouble argiung with me. So, he generally avoided me.It was all fun ,i am missing it so much.

Then the guy who used to enjoy this the most was aalsi bacha .He used to pretend he was sleeping and enjoy everything of our conversation.If we forced him to name the bar we should go, he always replied "kahi bhi chalo koi problem nahi hai,i am okay for anywhere". So atlast we rounded one,and generally we started at 4pm Pm my bike or any other easier means of transport.

The Story started at 5Pm,we usully filled the stomach with something likes veg burgers or rolls.Then we used to enter the bar like hot celebrities in our own fashion.We used to Start up differently,me with beer,ankur with vodka and bacha with scotch.I usually used to enjoy only beer,if i got the mood i used to go for some scotch or whisky,but very less times.After drinking everyone was almost saturated,on cloud no.9 ,and the next One hour was the feeling of heaven,which we enjoyed the most.The next thing on everybodys mind was go to hostel a soon as possible and fix a CS match. Ankur usually after drinking,used to get something for priya,rarely he missed this thing,and i was always with him when he was doing this.

Then we reached hostel without any fuss as generally we used to know the guard and the gaurds used to know us.Then match was almost fixed then some kids who dont drink in the hostel and asked some really silly questions like "aaj tumne kitna peeyi hai?","chadi hai kya?","vulti toh nahi karoge?",and atlast the silliest question "kisike liye senti ho kya?".
We used to really not bother these questions,and the match used to usually start in time we used to get ready changing our clothes and enjoyed some smoke.Then we usually won by a huge margin whenever we drank.I dont know why this used to happen but hardly we lost a match under the effect of alcohol, and we used to chant loud that CluB rockzz and all that shit.In the time,we used to get offer for playing AOE with a random team which was always fun.

After AOE,we used to chat about anything under the sun for the time we used to get bored,time at moment usually was around 4 Am in th morning,so we used to decide to have heavy breakfast and sleep as we were always very hungry at that time as we usually had no dinner after the alcohol.So,we had to pass this 3-4 hrs by someways,and the best option was CS match i all were ready or a MOVIE if there was no cs,sometimes we would remainin chat till 6AM tooo. The next one hour was the difficult to spend,sometimes i and bond went on morning rides on mine and bosses bike, read newspaper , smoke chat or anything under sun.

The breakfast time approached and it was usually hot and tatsy breakfast in the early mornings as it was clean,hygenic and pure at the start with lots of fruits or fruits salad. This was our heaviest meal of the day,after this the common thing was another smoke the last cigeratte of the day, as our time to sleep has arrived. We used to gnerally sleep after that smoke ,or do something on the comp for sometime as we used to feel very drousy and get off to sleep.

THESE WERE SOME OF THE GOLDEN DAYS OF MY LIFE WHICH I CANNOT FORGET TILL DEATH. PRAYING GOD FOR GIVING AGAIN THESE DAYS TO US.

Suffering from Typhoid

2006-08-03T05:16:00.000-07:00

It has been long i am writing again,all due the reason i got Typhoid,yeah i got typhoid really sad and bad. But i have really not known the source from where i got it, i dint really eat bad food or water from where i can get the s.thyphi bacteria.

Intially,after coming from madras that morning,everything was fine.in the afternoon i planned MI:3 movie and as i had time,i went on for 1 strong chilled beer.During the movie i started really feeling bad,i could not control the movie as i was feeling very bad physically. So returned home as soon as the movie completed and came home and slept and told parents that i am having headache,and lay on bed. At night i had to go to hyderbad again for GRE preparation,so mentally got prepared and boarded the bus and went to hyderabad,and from then i was completely ill.I ignored doctor for the first two days,later went on to homeopathy,i thought i was fine in the evening. But the next day went to doctor and got some more medicine and i was this time suffering like hell,so next day decided to go on for allopathy doctor.All these days i was literally eating nothing,i was surving with the help of my mama and some resistance left in me.

The nest day i went on to normal general surgeon,he gave medicines ,the evening i was feeling OK,as fever was getting increasing and decresing ,and he also tested for Jhondies,but i was tested negative. At this point of time ,i was not able to think anything jus living and surviving on the planet. As fever was increasing and decresing everyday,i thought its the time i should go home and take some rest and get fine. So ,sai also came to hyderbad for GRE and got 930.I thoght it would be better i would go home with him as i could get some company,co on 27 thursday i boarded bus and came chilled and weak to home almost frowned.

So ,Mom decided to take me to the best surgeon and we went out for it,but he was presently out of station,there was some substitute doctor for him,then finally decided to test under him,seeing me,his reaction was i could get some glucose,but mom intelligently refused him. So oing by the previous prescription he asked me whether i wasnt tested for anything,as i wasnt tested for anything,he immediately ordered all the tests on me .At last ,i was diagnosed with typhoid and he prescribed antibiotics,vitmain tablets and riboflavyn for mouth and throat ulcers i had so many in my mouth.so finally we were out of hospital and my life of rest started.

All these days i am resting and doing nothing. I also bought B-magazines and india today with the help of my brother Rama Rao,but could not read them as reading them is making me cosy and dormant for sometime.so i prefer sometime surfing net and reding paper and rest of the time resting and nothing else.

Lets see how many days it still takes me to get back to normal and i should start seriously preparing for CAT and GRE. OH God! a hellish task for me,but i pray god give me strength so i could crack both of these.

MAY GOD BLESS ME

TOEFL in Madras

2006-07-18T08:14:00.002-07:00

I have been to madras for two days. These days my life has become of much travelling. I went to madras for TOEFL(Test of english as a foreign language). Well, i ot the range 193-250,i was petty disappointed because i was expectingthe upper range to about 270. Anways life goes on.
I went on 16 july by pinakini express early morning at 6PM. Reached there at right time, took a auto and went to uncles house as i were to stay there for 2 days for giving TOEFL. so had lunch and went in car to check the centre, and had a nap in the afternoon. Also went to marina after so many days of life,i was recollecting my past days when i used to go to marina very often as i have stayed till 11 years.

So, in the night watched TV for a while and chatted to uncle and aunty for sometime.
The next day was a big day for me as i am doing literally nothing these days,i am scared of my future ,with everyone talking about jabs and everyone getting placed. I need something,but i know i am losser, as i have never tried anything to my hearts content,all the blame is on me now,i am very lazy person who promises evrerything and did nothing to my parents. My parents are sufferin due to me.

Now,presently i am again leaving to hyderabad,the old boring place,but you know life is boring.so or the last two days suffering from severe backache and headache.so hope going to hyderbad will make me fine. so thats for now.

One more boring day

2006-07-14T09:45:00.000-07:00

These days,i mean for the past one to two days since i have started writing my blog,time is moving at a lightning speed.The main reason is that i am spending most of the time on orkut and yahoo messenger.Orkut is really making me dormant as i am refreshing so lot of times to check the latest scraps,that i get irritated at that point of time,after some time its usual i again keep refreshing.orkut is just like a cigarette , when smoked doesnt give you that plessure as much as it gives at the time of thinking of smoking it.

the countdown for TOEFL has come down to two days.so i have to still practice,as my friend vishy always says "Over-confidence never helps you,i is only pracice that helps you",and he rightly says so.

so i am going for some practice

Humid Thursday

2006-07-12T23:52:00.000-07:00

Again...hot and humid thursday.have actually nothing to write but i am writing so that i will get enough practice of writing blogs.And the actual problem is that i dont have a digi-cam,so cant load any snaps to make the blog interesting.

I today watched the JACKAL movie in the morning on HBO,was a ok movie.i watched this movie to improve my listening skills in english as i am going to give TOEFL on 17th july.so,i thought i would be a good listening session watching the movie.

First Blog

2006-07-12T03:41:00.000-07:00

Hey guys,dont know what actually to write on a first blog. Ofcourse no one might be reading this.once i get some nice incidents and experiences in my life,i will definately post over here.

coming to me,presently i hav completed my B.tech in ECE(electronics and communication engineering) from Jaypee Insttitute Of Information technology,NOIDA(U.P).Presently staying in hyderbad,planning to give GRE in september 2006.

I did my schooling in madras till 1996,when my dad shifted to sharjah,then continued my schooling in my hometown vijayawada.After that did intermediate college in nalanda college of sciences in vijayawada itself.

so,now i am free,frustated,lost and confused so i had better started writing a blog
