I ROCK!!!!

I have finally succeeded in doing something which even IT champions were not able to achieve. I have, yes, believe it or not, managed to install INTERNET EXPLORER 7 on my system. You will understand the significance of it after you know the fact that I have been trying this feat for the past 2 months now!!! I even approached Paukee and Deepa as a last resort (they are self proclaimed IT champs, I have my doubts). To think I was about to offer them jobs as my IT guys in my future company!!!!!!!! I just took the 1st cost cutting measure for my company. This would enhance the efficiency level of the organization, even before it is formed!!!!!!!!!! As I say, I ROCK!!!!!This also proves that perseverance pays. I have learnt so many lessons from this simple installation procedure. Hope you also learn something.

Me reading Harry Potter’s latest book right now... It is damn good. Since, I have issued it I have been hooked on to it. Have not been having classes also. And no new movies also. So every thing pointed towards me reading the book. I guess Dumbledore wants me to read the book… :-)


Chalo chow… lemme go and read about India’s BRILLIANT performance in yesterday match on my new browser. I will sign off by saying I am VERY VERY HAPPY… Jai Mata Di…

I am tana tan…..

Yesterday evening, the city of Hyderabad was rocked by two blasts in the heart of the city. For people in Kolkata, one of the blasts was in an area similar to the one in Burrabazar. So you can imagine it must have been bad. Since then I have been flooded by frantic phone calls and messages from relatives and friends alike. Lemme assure you that I am fine and in one piece. For once, I was glad that our campus is so FAR from the city, out of harm’s way. Although it was a Saturday and loads of students go to the city, no casualties have been reported from our college (we have had our fair share of that). Thank God.

The positive aspect to come out from the whole blast thing (if there can be a positive!!) was the number of people who called up and were worried about me. It made me feel really nice. There was genuine concern on show. I got calls from people who never call me normally (but, this was abnormal!!!). THANK YOU guys… really mean it.

Had a chat with Tushar yesterday. It was his birthday. We were remembering the old times when we used to freak out in Kolkata. Somehow, the whole memory of landing up at Tushar’s place unannounced to surprise him came back. I guess it was 2 years back. We had thought of surprising him on his birthday. But when we reached there, we were the ones who were surprised. There was LOCK on the gate of Mr. Kataria’s house. On further investigation we found that the bugger was sitting in his office. It took a lot of arm twisting tactics on out part to convince him to come back on time so we could celebrate his birthday. The Gujju that he is, he made all conscious efforts to come as late as possible and save his cash and ass (I don’t know which one he treasures more!! Will ask him the next time). But we were also besharam and waited for him. All in all had a gala time that day. Remember that time we sent anonymous flowers to Tushar. That was a CLASSIC.

Yesterday I spoke also spoke to sis. Felt REALLY REALLY nice. I actually enjoy talking to her. She is one person I can be normal with. No pretence, nothing. She also does understand me. She has an internet connection now, so hope to save money and voice chat with her. Anyways got to go now. Else, I will not get any lunch to eat (it hardly makes a difference, but, still basic sustenance needs). Chow…..

Kumble’s century!!!!!!!!!!!

If there is one thing that I thought I will never see, it was a century by India’s seasoned campaigner, old warhorse, committed, warrior, competitor, aggressive (and blah, blah and more blah, Sunil Gavaskar can go on and on!!), Anil Kumble. It was a SIGHT. Just the way in which he reached his century was paisa wasool. :) But, we must give credit where it is due. Hate to say it, but I guess he batted well. I was damn lucky not to see his innings!!!!

Anyways, have been having a very boring time recently. Not much to do in terms of projects and assignments. Have lost the will to study hard in semester-III, since the time I have known that the grades will not be considered for placements.

PLACEMENTS…. Another great mystery at ICFAI, Hyderabad. I guess this would be the last and biggest faux paus by ICFAI. As they say, save the best for the last!!! I hope to do well. Will have to leverage my CFA to get a decent job and profile. Let’s hope I have not forgotten all the fundas accumulated over the years. I know I need to oil myself. A bit, nope, a lot of rust has accumulated. So, will have to do quite a lot before the placement season starts. Have to ensure that I hit the ground running. Lets hope for the best and pray that I make my loved ones and more importantly myself proud. About time my luck changed at ICFAI, Hyderabad. I think Lady luck is cheesed off with me cause I have been courting my first and only love, NINEE…. :) Come on baby, I love you too… :)

Have been going to the city a lot this semester leading to huge outflows of cash. The revenue has not yet come in and hence, the NPV of the project is negative. As a result my bank balance has taken a major hit. Got a reprimand from papa cause my cash and cash equivalents had fallen to an all time low. Hence, RBI (mere pyare pyare papa) had to intervene to control the liquidity problem. Papa rocks……

Some people at the campus have started behaving WEIRDLY for no rhyme and reason. The nautankee refuses to die down. I guess someone is providing fuel to the fire. But the amazing thing is people are still listening to other asses around them. As Jesus Christ so famously said, “you place someone on your shoulder and when that someone pees, it stinks and creates problems”. Me not trying to be cheap, that’s a fact. Another analogy just came up but I guess it would be a bit SOOGLA (as Deepa would say!!!). Did you know that soogla means gross???????? So bunk it. All I will say is that time always comes a full circle. Let’s wait and watch. Its gonna be good fun. Chalo abhi lemme go. Am sitting in a damn SCREWED up IBFS lecture on a Saturday evening. You can gauge the interest level by the fact that even the professor has dozed off. So much for a gala weekend!!!!!!

P.S : I must admit you guys have a lot of patience to read my crappy blogs. Thank you. I mean it.
Still can’t believe, Kumble scored a century!!!!!!!!!!!
