30 June 2008

It is the last day of June today. Though, it wasn't that hectic but I guess the week's accumulation is making me feel tired and lazy. I have interview at 2200 hours for IT Team Interim council formation. It has been raining incessantly since yesterday morning,and how so ever I love rains, murkiness of the clouded greys gets to you at times. Especially when you have lots to do. It is all about springing back from this and fighting the whole next week again. Before my post falls in the category of poor-MBA-guy-pissed-with-work category, I will state some learning of the week :
One has to learn to wash clothes fast, faster and fastest. Else, use laundry for everything, and I mean everything.
Learn to sleep while sitting, develop finer sleeping positions and aspects so that your closed eyes are not visible to the professor. (I have personally slept on the first bench.)
Learn to accept that your room mate will not not change his waking up alarm song Mauja hi Mauja and neither would he wake before 3 snoozes when you are totally awake.
Accept the fact that it is pretty good to eat your breakfast while running. It is normal to skip it.
Shoes will get wet. Clothes won't dry. It is better you get a stock of undergarments or learn to go without them. (I have a stock, you dirty minds...)
Accept that there is no more time to blog, so end here.

Saraswati to Laxmi!

 Image Courtesy: http://www.thehindu.com/ Now that MBA is over and I am considered an ounce wiser, being back home means work. There are so many pending things that are just waiting in the attic to be dusted and made to work again. One of them is the mammoth task of physical share transfer and dematerialization. Though stated in one pretty sentence, it takes months of effort and work. And of course, money!  My brother has been painfully going about the motions of this work for a couple of months now and nothing much yet seems to have resulted out of it. We struck a good deal with a certain Saraswati something shares. I asked, "How much would this one fetch us?". He replied, "Enough to recover the money you spent on your MBA degree". I exclaimed, "Really! Waoh! Even after they have been dormant for like 15 years??!". He quipped, in exasperation, "Weren't they supposed to teach you all this in B-School?" I did shut up and let him do this pain...

Death by Chocolate!

"You can't finish it! No ways..." "Really, even with an empty stomach?" "Even with an empty stomach..." "And what exactly is it?" "Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate" That is how everyone I know who is currently in Bangalore talked about the ever so famous Death by Chocolate. I had to find the famous "The Corner House" and have this delicacy. I did, in Koramangala . Ordered one. Rs. 115. Wasn't it a bit too much for an Ice-cream? As it turned out, it wasn't. As I looked around and gathered all the yummy types of ice creams available on menu - in front of me landed a big plastic cup on a tray. See for yourself above. It was an eclectic mix of 2 huge scoops of vanilla ice cream, lots of brownie crumbs dipped in chocolate which was then again poured over by 4 teaspoons of steaming hot chocolate syrup [directly boiling in front of you on an electric plate]. If that wasn't enough, peanuts sprinkled and cherry ...

Were you sleeping?

How irritating is it to get a phone call when you are in that last hour of your sleep on a Saturday morning? Worse, if it turns out to be your mobile service provider wanting to confirm if you would want to upgrade your 3G plan (which in any case sucks with most providers in India!) Even worse, what if it turns out to be someone important, like your boss? Now you don't want to sound totally sleepy - do you? What would he/she be thinking of you if he were to ask, "Were you sleeping?" at 11 am in the morning? (And, this is judgmental attitude is especially true of older white haired balding bosses!) Well, here are a few tips to sound all alert & morning crispy when actually you would have killed him for ruining your sleep on a Saturday morning. They have worked well for me, hope they would for you too! - Take a deep breath, let the phone ring for a few seconds so that you get a chance to clear your head (hope you did not have much alcohol last night). T...
