What is it that I should do?

What is that I should do,

The roads are many,the options few,

Everything you do,Should I do it too?

What is it that I should do?

I ask myself,I got no clue,

The mind seems grey,the heart seems blue,

Some thought they die,some thoughts they brew,

What is it that I should do?

I am a part of the world,a part of the crew,

My heart tells me the world is true,

But then I ask,”Is that you?”,

What is it that I should do?

Should I celebrate or should I rue?

This moment short,but life is too,

I look ahead now,I look ahead through,

What is it that I should do?

Back after a long hiatus....

I started out blogging with great interest in August after getting inspired from Sushant but all of a sudden,after my last post on August the 15th,I lost touch and I don't know how.But again,after a long long pause,I have found renewed interest in blogging and so I thought why not get back.
The last three months have been quite an experience.An experience I would cherish for life.First,it was the placement season...the tensions,the package discussions,the arguments about whose job was better,the 'parties'(although I was a part of none!) and the similar hulabuloo.
Alongwith it was the CAT fever which had caught on most of the people with roughly two more months to go for the D-DAY.I would not shy away from saying that I was a victim too.But merely a victim and I didn't have any cure for the same.The AIMCAT's every sunday,the score checking immediately after coming out from the hall(Although this is a habit I caught on in latter stages of my preparation.),the percentile estimations,the ecstacy and the sadness of the results on wednesdays etc.It was an experience worth remembering all leading up to the D-DAY on 16th November.I was confident of my abilities and went into the exam hall with high levels of self-esteem and it kinda worked somehow!The exam went well according to my standards and I came out satisfied with my efforts during the two and a half hour ordeal.While checking my scores on various institutes' websites,my hands were literally shivering and it was hard for me to even click correctly.At the back of my mind were scores of two of my friends(Saarukh n Khanka!-who whipped CAT's ass!) and that made me even more nervous.But the estimations came out good and made me hopeful to say the least.My dreams of getting into a nice B-School weren't shattered after all!A pretty nice feeling I must say!
Then came the End Sem "Exams"!(People of my class would definitely understand the inverted commas!). Never in my life have I had the urge to leave the examination hall after just an hour into the exam.God knows how I forced myself to sit on that bench and write.Write would be the wrong word I suppose,'Scribble' I think would better befit the situation,for if I was given my answer sheet now and asked to read what I wrote,I would be as good as an illiterate asked to read!
I was so waiting for them to get over so that I could finally dive into the ocean of our 3 month long vacations and it started off in style too with me attended a wedding in my family on the next day of end sem exams ending.But soon,REALITY struck and I found myself finding new ways of passing time within just 2 days of my vacations starting.
Life has become so boring now that at the end of the day yesterday,I had made a count of the number of yawns I had had and the number was a staggering 20!(Me counting my yawns-one can really imagine the heights of my boredom!).Thinking of ways,I found one which is evergreen and might well have been adopted by even the greatest of minds-SLEEPING!Sleep till 12 p.m. and you pass half the day without even realizing it!Having the meals of the day is another activity which has become fun-filled now and with my mom calling me for lunch now,its time to give my fingers some rest and come back tomorrow with maybe another boring post! :)

Happy "Independence Day"!

Today,we celebrated our 61st "Independence Day"..we all know why these special signs before and after the Independence Day!
No...we don't..before anybody comes to any conclusions as to what these actually mean...I would like to clarify that I used them because I don't think we're living in a free world!Again a very cliched statement as such but I won't brag about the smaller issues of poverty n illiteracy n all...everybody talks about them...I want to discuss something very personal!
What does freedom mean to me?Everyday except our National Holidays....it means ticking my fingers over the touchpad of my phone and sending out english alphabets having some sort of a meaning(for eg..FU! etc.etc.!;) to my friends every few minutes just to keep in touch n all!But come our National holidays and our telecom operators hike their SMS charges to Rs. 1.20 per text and then we get SMS'es telling us-"Be a responsible Indian and sms this deshbhakti text to 10 people!"...I mean WTF!You charge 10 times the money it costs me any other day and expect me forward such SMS'es!First of all,how much of a responsible Indian am I in the other 364 days of the year is the question that comes to my mind immediately!But,I just wonder how Indian is Mr. Arun Sarin or for that matter Mr. Sunil "Bharti" to be charging us "Gareeb log" exhorbitantly for sending just a few characters to our close ones!
I felt so handicapped today not because my MTNL charged me differential rates but because my friends were!!!!People must be wondering as to what kind of a leech I am to be writing about Rs.1.20 SMS'es but I just think it is unfair on us and I think the Ambani's too fight it for every 10p. that they charge us on each call!
Coming to the end...I don't think I've written this the way I wanted to but I've written too much to be deleting it in the end!So....... ;)

OMG!!!

Goodness me!Could I BE any happier is what my name says on Orkut...n so true it is...life has never been so good...I finally finally finally and finally got placed day before in Deloitte(one of the Top Four in the world in terms of consultancy!).Its a feeling which is hard to describe because one doesn't get a job everyday u see!I right now feel like I am one of the most lucky people in this whole world and God is showering all his blessings in a heap right now...although I wont say that he hasn't been kind enough in the past but this is something special...really really special! :-)
Been gettin wishes from all sides and angles and it feels so special and ecstatic!I now feel that I have almost anything that someone could ever wish for...some people might say that I'm exaggerating but its simply way too true I suppose!
ECSTATIC is the word that comes to my mind right now to describe my feelings...I hope god keeps blessing me and everyone around me in the same way!

Placements mania!

I shifted to hostel yesterday finally...i say finally because shifting to the hostel seems sucha pain in the ass.The procedure here is long and tedious and doesn't help u in any ways.Also,all my friends and fiends are in the hostels on the other side and I alone am in this hostel(C.V. RAMAN..I wonder why such stupid names for the hostels!)..but the best part is that this hostel now has 24 hr. net connectivity which keeps me hooked to it!
But back to the topic for which I started writing,the placements in our college have begun......life has become kinda worrisome now with the number of people getting placed in "grade B" companies droppin to all time lows.
But we being the Higher Souls didn't even care to sit for them...ya we the PRODUCTION ENGINEERS OF DELHI COLLEGE OF ENGINEERS..i mean thats heights of optimism in each one of us I tell you.Just 2 of 30 of us have got placed in TCS and the rest(including ME!) are still waiting for that elusive Dream Job paying each of us super handsomely for doin nothin at all!
L&t is the first I'm gonna sit for(pretty reluctantly though coz it pays low and its a core company!) but that too unprepared so my chances of getting are selected are like 1 in a quadrillion(i hope this quantity exists!) but I would still take my chances.Then I'm sittin for Deloitte(The Tax n Audit giant)..that company is what I'm looking forward to with some eagerness coz its one of those "Dream Companies".
We have the PPT's of both of them this afternoon so I now have to rush n get ready(i.e. take a bath at this time of the day!eeewwww!).Hoping for some nice action today to unfurl the tomorrow.
Bye

Welcome me!

Hi,
I had been thinking of entering this arena of blogging for quite some time now but just dint get inspired enough I suppose but thanks to a well-written blog of one of my friends,I finally got inspired took the Giant Leap forward!Hope that I scribble on it as often as I can and can keep everyone updated on whats happening In and around me although thats not the primary purpose of this but I suppose can't help it!
I stopped writing in any form since class 12 when we used to write those boring letters to the principal asking for a leave to "attend cousin's marriage"!But I suppose those were different kinda days n now with nothing much to do in life,I can write better letters in this blog! :) Bad jokes apart,I somehow do have a small penchant for writing although being the kind of lethargic person I am,I've never been able to hone this skill of mine.Maybe this blog will break those old shackles....
Can only think of this much right now to start with("Small penchant for writing"-My foot!) but I will come back with a Bang!!!!!
ME
