sorry guys, ************************************************************************************ Hotel Rawanda : forgot it ? now remember : Hotel Golf ************************************************************************************ Date : 18/12/2010 Place: Abidjan Country: Ivory Coast Part I: Ivory Coast : "somewhere on the other side of the globe,where the sand is as brighter as ours is, where people are the same as we are, where one third population stays below poverty line as ours is.......................................People are tortured, massacred and life is everywhere on streets in the form of blood, flesh ...... I am talking about Ivory Coast, small african country which is on the verge of another civil uprising again. A country which earned its freedom in 1960 from french claws! Led by Mr.Houphouët-Boigny who ruled as president from independence in 1960, managed the balance of ethnic mix and religious sentiments of the ethnic groups cleverly a

time : 11:27 am place: Bed no. 3, A-412, Symbiosis Infotech campus Season : Holiday season What next ???? yippppieeeeee, absolutely free & nothing to do!!!! thats why writing this page :P I wana kill Ayon for this topic, gone is 60 sec??? i don't know what can be done in this lil span of time, absolutely nothing! chalo, let me think about it and write something.... hmmmm....what can i think of in next 60 sec...time starts now... mummy, bhai , tanu, allahabad, pune, chandigarh, kamlesh, manish, ayaon, binu......phew...!!!(i could write this much in 60 sec, sad) anyways, i will keep 6 mins in my kitty & feel it as 60 sec... "it all started yesterday, with Manish Raghuvanshi...he has a basic problem of something or everything stopping in his esophagus that is the food pipe, while gulping. so we went to Aditya Birla Hospital for check up and endoscopy! so all set for a hospital ride? yeah! " Manish was given a small robe to wear before the

Writer's Block "can we break this Blockade?"...asks Vinod I dint posted anything in last few days, because: 1. I was not well. 2. My lappi crashed. 3. I was upset with my galfriend going out for a movie, without me!! 4. I was not ready with some stuffs to put up here...........phew so many!!!! Actually, I am a laggard, lethargic and lazyness personified!!!! well come back to "Writer's Block"!!!! Comeon lets see, few headlines in newspaper for different places: A) New Delhi "18 year old gal, abducted and gang raped in a moving car in Mongolpuri area". B) Pune "Lady on a business conference in Lonavala, raped by the worker of Resort" C) Pune " MBA student from Balaji Society committed suicide last night" hmmmm...........interestingly all incidents were related to gals!!! sadly, in a country where Godesses are worshipped, where the source of power, source of education, source of wealth all are governed

"Paani ko taraste............" the title song in the movie Well Done Abba says it all... when you are thirsty, you understand the value of water the most.. today i saw this movie n finally said "well done Boman" certainly you are the most versatile actor in the industry in current times. now lets come to point...blank!!! Yesterday, Ganga ghat of holy city of Varanasi was shattered by an IED blast in the morning at 6:30 hrs. IED means Improvised Exlposive Device, an improved explosive which was heard in German Bakery blast case in past year. Does this means this was a terror attack?? may be yes, may be no!! But one thing for sure, the security lapses are the only big reason behind the attack... & the aftermath, blame game is on again like every incidence that takes place here. Mr.Chidambaram said something. Ms.Mayavati retaliated in her typical style. phewww........what an excuse by the secretary of state, that the warnings provided b

"aaahhhh! Yeh Dil Maange More............" a famous one liner from a well known soft drink company when amalgamated with likes of Capt.Vikram Batra produced a huge roar in the cinema hall called "Gurudev Talkies" in outskirts of Kanpur in a area called Sharda Nagar. I can recollect memories of the movie LOC-Kargill when an emotion led audience was energized with all ***** in the movie & all the one liners of the movie. Now the question arises why m i writing about some incident which occurred in 2003-04 after a well spent 6 years>? this is because of the same feel, same emotion burst that i had today. not only me, i am convinced that there must be 20 other guys with similar feeling at this point of time when i am writing all this. While writing my previous post "Silence of the Lambs", i wrote in the penultimate line: "i want to see roar around me" & this is what is happening at 10:15 pm of 29th Nov'10. I a

Have you ever seen lambs in the slaughter houses??? No? ok then i must tell you that if you have to figure out the tension, agony, pain, fear among them then look into eye of one of them.................Everything is self explanatory there. hmmmmm, why am i talking about Lambs, well i am just trying to compare lambs with humans. I am placement co-ordinator for the batch 09-11 and this is what i find in the fag end of day when results are ought to come & all aspirants sit, stand, totter like lambs. i won't say that they have pain, agony, fear in their eyes but yes, FF is there.........Fear of Failure...!!! Look what they do....... 1. keep their fingers crossed...in anticipation of some luck which can give them much sought after result. 2. Try to talk about anything which can keep them aloof of the proceedings but somewhere in the back of their mind, RESULTs keep revolving. 3. Keep sitting, standing in a certain position which they feel, can bring in so

A lazy morning, a lazy bed and a very very very lazy sleeping giant over the bed...ie, me!!!! Alarm rang n somehow i managed to look at my mobile about the description of the alarm. It made me jump out of my blanket and i rushed to toi/bathroom to do the natural job. interestingly the last word in the above line was the Description of the Alarm that made me to jump out of bed..........aahhh it is a placement day!!! placement day : a d-day for any MBA student irrespective of whether he has taken loan or not. irrespective of how many backlogs one has secured during his journey during MBA. so as far as i am concerned, neither i have taken any loan for studies nor i could manage any backlog during the stint of 2 years. therefore, i can say that i am not from the happening lot of the batch who enjoy the good golden days of adventure of backlogs or the pressure of calculating & repayment of loans. ohhh i forgot, i was talking about Placements.... you know, "Placements

when i was a kid, i never shared my fruits, lunch, chocos, i literally never thought of sharing the sweets & the formiddable "singharas* aka samosa" for which i can take another life..........to eat..!!! what i used to do was to take everything from my elder brother who was a gentle kid and seriously an ideal brother, full of patience and pardonness.......... & my lovely sis, who always gave me a challenge as far as sharing my things were concerned.. so that was my childhood story regarding my nature...!!! time passed, lots of water flown through Ganges and i grew up, but still the sharing instincts were absent in me. once i saw two beggers on the streets of civil lines of allahabad, laughing & eating food whatever they managed to gather for the lunch time. saw them sharing their stuffs... one had managed to take sabji from some house & another had few rotis..........it was just like combination of two souls who needed eachother. what

Few bloody Indians think that they know history of India.....but now I think time has come to teach some lessons about our history and a take home "GYAN" about not to poke their nose into matters which they are not supposed to put their shit..... to begin with.......lets see how our history shaped up in early 19th century: "Everything started in early years of 20th century when many Hindu leaders occupied the lime-light. few of them were Mahatma Gandhi, Tilak, Nehru and many more. At that time many Muslim leader felt that being minority they can be isolated and may be under-treated in the reign of HINDUS. though it was based on few apprehension of handful of leaders, but it aggravated and proved fatal for the nation. lets look what happend after that: The All India Muslim League (AIML) was formed in Dhaka in 1906 by Muslims who were suspicious of the Hindu-majority Indian National Congress. They complained that Muslim members did not have the same rights as Hindu

hi friends, i am in mumbai now and certainly i am in the biggest slums in the world...........here people are robots,,,,,running, pushing, slazing .....all sorts of acts and mis-acts are happening here. on one side a pluffy, plush society is there which is having much more than required for their life................on the other there are people who are struggling for making ends meet. i saw on one side people are enjoying the DAY LIGHT at 10PM in sports stadiums (DY Patil stadium) and i found peeple in Parel who are struggling to see some sun light in their slums, chawls in the absense of electricity. the question is not about the diffrerence and the absurd distribution of wealth....but the question is against the civic society which is having plentiful of educated social workers who hail from high society and they do their work just to add up a new feather in the cap.....if i use the banking language, they diversify themselves from just party animals to social workers. anoth

its not about how you die but its all about how you lived....." these words literally fascinate me & make me think of how m i living and what is the best way to depart from this world......... is it the way, a common man dies, across the streets , in public hospitals , on railway tracks , or by a mob in communal riots or by goons who kill in the name of regionalism....... the Martyrs who sacrifice their lives for the nation are the one who should be remembered with respect and regards. but is this the scenario in India? certainly not!!! example (). one army men who lost his both limbs serving the nation in the front was sanctioned a pity 1000 rupees a month as pension. finally in 2010, chief justice of India had to direct officials to serve the person in dignified manner & catagorically said,"don't treat heroes, like beggers". certainly the day these heroes stop rendering their services to the nation, God knows who will save the borders (neta j

hey friends, its been quite some time since i have not updated the trap. so here we go, this is the one i made long ago after the Train journey by Rahul Gandhi in Mumbai & the repercussions after that. i don't know what problem Thakrey and sons have but certainly they get annoyed with any event that is unexpected for them. come on Man!!! politics is a game, play like a man!! don't let anybody lake fun of you, like i do. enjoy!!!

hi folks, today was my free day after 5 days of struggle with books and other study materials . so i decided to go for a movie..:CLASH OF THE TITANS". this was a much awaited movie and buzz is all around. i had observed the amount of talks about the movie, all sorts of marketing stunts , gimmicks and finally the reviews (4 star, 8/10 rating points....). therefore, i decided to go for it. well story first: Movie : CLASH OF THE TITANS Director : unknown Star cast : Hero " AVATAAR" the story starts with a bang, like KAAL-CHAKRA in mahabharat serial, a narrator explains about ZEUS, HAEDIS & other Greek gods and their deeds/misdeeds. the there comes a boy, Persious!!!! he is the hero of the movie. the story line is really fantastic one liner: "Zeus permitted Haedis to unleash hell on earth so that the people on earth start their offering prayers to the god again but this weakened Zeus in turn and energised Haedis whose power lied in the fear of

hey folks, this is march 13th 2010 and it seems life is running in full throttle and the gear is unlikely to shift backwards. the time is passing faster than the clock (looks like), it feels as if yesterday we joined SIIB and today we are one year old here. 6th june, 2009 was the day when i became a part of SIIb and till today, its been a journey full of fun, full of harassments, full of bullying and full of comedy of errors!!!! i have stored many sweet memories in my limited retention capacity provided in brain and certainly its gona be a rich treasure in future. let me jot down few deadly memories in sequence of priority: !)GODBOLE : conflict over POTENTIAL.... 2)Salil : Mug case... 3)Manish : Kedarnath epidemic.... 4)Sood : Tange- Tunge... 5)Kullu : CR elections these are the five best moments that i have on the preference list. now the bad memories which i survived and loved alot....... 1) Godbole : re viva (twice) 2) Chitnis : Stats trivia ( always unsol

this is sunday morning, date:07-03-2010. you know by this time i should have completed my finance preparation for test but i didn't. also i should have finished my business appraisal synopsis but again i didn't. also i should have been happy but i am not, needless to say why.......... bcoz India - bharat - hindustan lost to England - Inglistan- vilayat -gr8 britain in the Hockey World Cup'10. no problem with defeat as the better one won the match but the way our boys played was pathetic, horrifying and disgusting. does it really matters to any "mango indians", our so called AAm bhartiya??? i suspect no! i am really terrified with the way every player played as if they are low on morale, playing of alien land with no knowledge of dribbling, tackling and even no skills to trap the ball cleanly even for once. and the most disheartening moment arrived this morning when i read the coverage on TOI, there ware praises for the brave heart show put up by the boys against E

this is the first entry in the SERIES.......... i will try to put across the latest events and news in my way............ if you like please put up comments!!

guys, Happy "re_PUBLIC day" all mundane activities took place, nothing new at all. get up in the morning & get ready for the FLAG hosting ceremony, again some pleasant words thrown targeting poor students, aahhh! but in New Delhi, hundreds of crores spent on the flower decoration, stage management, dance groups , managing thousands of people etc etc, also few hundred crores went in ashes to rope in fighter planes, "choppers" and also to portray the might of Indian army in the form of decorated "Soldiers"- demonstrating their skills of march past and other bravery items etc. certainly it is a huge task to manage these kind of programs where you expect the World media and everybody to keep an eagle eye at a slightest mistakes. therefore everything is thoroughly checked and tested before the final event. you know all care is taken by the Cultural Ministry, HRD ministry, Defense ministry and all top officials who get only 2 chance in a

hey GUYYYYSSssssssssssssssssssss I Am SELECTED AS iNTERNs IN RESERVE BANK OF INDIA !!!! sounds crazzy isn't it??? truly crazy! i don't have words to explain my feelings so i will take help from a movie....... i remember lines from the movie "A Beautiful Mind"...........terrified, petrified, stupefied.......so on!! anyways letme tell you about RBI... it is the governing body of all economic affairs happening all across India. nice intro (isn't it?) now, the question comes into my mind---Why they selected me? u know i was even reluctant to go to RBI on 12th for interview. i finished my PR in chandigarh and joined college on 7th only to see me in the whirlpool of RBI. now, the time constraint killed and cramped me completely. anyways i am braveheart so didnot lost the hopes and started studying day-night. my concentration level so grew that even i continued studies when Achal(my roomie) switched off lights .(Hmmmm) and one fine day, on 12th

Saturday. time: 7:30 pm venue: a very old architecture with red bricks and wooden chairs along with Teak-tables, a waiter in posh-white outfit reminding me of British era, this place is "Coffee House" in the Civil lines area of Allahabad city. . Over the corner table on my left there were two oldies sitting, not just sitting though, but sipping there coffee. complete silence, a pin-drop per say. only the crumble sound of news-paper, if at all turned. both oldies very so carried away with that news-paper article that they forgot the world around them. sudden electricity fails, one of the two said, Jyoti Babu chole geche !!!! and there was big laugh all around,,,,, i was perplexed what electricity has to do with Jyoti babu?? i asked the gentleman what he meant by that? he offered me a chair and ordered a cup of coffee for me as well. he told me that both are Bengolis and they were part of Communist movement in the late sixties and late seventies whi

have you heard about EUREKA EUREKA EUREKA !!!???? certainly u must have but now its time to yell another one........IGNITED IGNITED IGNITED !!!!!!! yeah ! we did it, finally we surpassed all apprehensions and other barriers and crossed all borders to convey the message of self-construction & self-motivation....... Coelho rightly says, "when i decide to do something, entire world conspires to let it happen !!!" these golden words turned true in last 2 days and we SIIbians made a history of grand success of Ignisense! now, let me tell me what i am taking out for myself... i along with mukesh and umesh painted the Igni-Circle and which was used as Igni-logo. also i painted the basket-ball court wall single handedly but i take pride to name Mukesh, Umesh, yogesh, jyoti and all others who contributed immensely to make my dream of carving out the figures on the wall. i participated in face painting, tatoo making, flex-painting, t-shirt designing, a
