CSR on the roll

gives me satisfaction to see that CSR is now being taken up more seriously here in my place...will be going to tht hamlets of Lakhimpur kheri and Shivgarh this week to teach illiterate moms and dads there...behold ur son is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like hell!!!!!!!!!!

r humans just trash!!!!u treat them the way u like ...a majority of folks do seem to think so..but i beg to differ.I know come what may...The most important thing in this world are human relations and i would not trade it for anything ...i am happy i have always stood up tests of time,have always felt a deep concern for the feeling of others and even if i may be at a loss i would always be there for such things that may look too small to be a part of the humdrum life that we live . i know i am alive for this one thing the fact that the world can be a better place only if we care for each other.

Huh!!!!!

well back to lko after a nice sojourn to the beautiful kerala..a place enchanting.Have some of the most amazing memories from that place.Being back into the base branch has also been a welcome ride for me..lots of old faces(he he not that old) better said familiar faces to look upto. Things are now happening at an amazing pace and i got to keep all in complete control.Can I is a big challenge which has not been easy at least for the past few days..but will i is something that time will tell.Till then i am back to basics live life for today not for tomorrow not for yesterday... Here i come with arms wide open... ashu.

what am i upto

biking. i missed you my jaan sketching ...didi kitni mehnat karwaegi reading..alchemy of desire ..ab toh khatam ho jaa .......aur complete aish..my my employers forget me ..and remember me when on the sal day only!!!!!!!!he he h e

Adieu Trivandrum!!!!!!!!!!

Just to make a note of the day..don't feel like writing much...............!!!!! Let's hope for a bright future ahead.

The laid back resort:that's kerala for u

Well,it has been a journey i have cherished..keral looked stunning with its coconut greenery..I found it particularly exciting to have a look right from the top.Having reached here on Onam day has been another great experience...saw an amazing sight in one of the backwaters ,a girl in complete costumes dancing to the music of Bharat Natyam(am i wrong is it called something else)..she was there on a boat roght there in the middle of the water body..splendid site..perhaps,the beauty she exuded can just be felt rather remembered.Kovalam is the the best place..beautiful as ever,it humbled me once again ,the vast sea looked so so big that i felt tiny and rather powerless. Am looking forward to a nice stay in kerala ,will have to amalgamate some teaching sessions in between,will kick that off with a session on Requirement analysis tomorrow,it ought be nice as i seem not to have forgotten all that i learnt two years ago. Cheers!! ashu.

Off to Trivandrum

Life has come a full circle atleast in TCS for me..very soon i would be off to Trivandrum,where i was back two years ago as a student freshly inducted in TCS.This time around I will be a faculty at the same place teaching new joinees skills that i was once taught,it feels good and nice . It will be a three week sojourn till the guys find a suitable U.S assignment for me.Let's see what life has in store for me. Between the time i am following the adage "Chase ur dreams!!!" Hope god will be kind this time around. Cheers!! ashu.

ILP Memories:Those fundoo days

Eye Catching presentation Plain and simple

huh!!! so where am i

It has been a slow slow week with no crackers at all,i hate this kind of a life but that's a part of existence, to spruce up matters i am on today night haah let sleep rest for a night i will be off for biking in the early morning even if that might mean visiting the station for a tea ....Career has become bit confusing and i have become a bit relaxed don't know why ?i feel a turmoil inside i feel an urgency but i really do not understand what is stopping me .Have kept off reading these days that has not been too good for me in a way but would do so for the coming weeks. It feels difficult writing too my mind seems to be on a turbulent ride ..let me now work on the business plan..

Enjoy the ads in the sequence. (BMW -> Audi -> Subaru)

Image
Apparently, BMW had decided to send a goodwill message to Audi - with a twist. !!!! Audi responded in the same tone. (However, their PR folks didn't do their homework properly - Audi had won Le Mans from 2000 - 2006, except for 2003. Bentley won Le Mans in 2003, so much for six "consecutive" years. Incidentally, BMW had won it in 1999 with a prototype, after which they had decided to quit Le Mans!) !!!!!!!! Out of nowhere, Subaru decided to jump into the game - with their own twist. Their PR folks might be awaiting the pink slip for the most horrible homework - BMW had won 4 "Engine of the year" awards in 2006 including the overall winner (a V10), whereas Subaru had one just.....one. In fact, BMW had won more EotY awards in 2006 alone than Subaru had ever won!
Kabhi kabhi main sochta hun ki main Khuda hun main, To kabhi apni insaaniyat mei kami mahsoos hoti hai. Abb to khud hi bichhata hun apni rahon pe angaarey, Aasan raston pe chalne ki aadat jo nahi rahi. Sachcha aadmi to main nahi hun doston, Sachcha aadmi to main nahi hun doston.. Par sach kahun to kabhi kabhi jhooth bardasht nahi hota. Insaniyat mujhme na mile to hairaan mat hona, Insaniyat mujhme na mile to hairaan mat hona, Insaniyat to insano mei hoti hai....

Save trees beautifully executed.

No translation needed for this piece of work from China, but I guess it says something like save trees.

The new world is a scary place ,it has all the trappings and is in reality a strange place to be in ,you do not need a battlefield to face the bullets of the enemy,you do not need to fight for your country at any place ,you are always under the bombshell,for no fault of yours you could be a target. Let's give peace a chance.

From Today I begin my preparation

Lots of things have been accomplished this year and I am happy for all those,it has been an eventful year so far and for sure i wish to have everything in the right place. So after clearing 5 NCFM modules,learning swimming,being the runners up in Tata Crucible Pune and doing everthing else i think the time has come for me to concentrate on the next big thing ...this time i am confident that if i get into the right groove i shall land up in the IIMS. I do not know this blog would be dormant or it shall be more activated all i know is now it shall be out and out mission,a mission to conquer the entrance hurdles to the coveted portals of management .May god give me the courage and the dedication to see it through. lov, ash.

So very correct,we came near to be the Pune Champs for the TATA Crucible 2006 Pune rounds but were not to be so ,we lost by 1 point and were Runners up...oof what a feeling can't really express dismays of a penalty loss. Well photos will be with me in a couple of days if junta at Mumbai and Pune act swiftly ,i am really dying to put them on the blog.Looks good to have pics with big sized cheques,sort of makes you feel as a cricketer does.Well have returned back to work,which as always is mundane sans excitement,no real challenges no real stuff to prove here!!!! I am thirsty but do can't help it.One other fronts have lined up some real things before my birthday 20th July.May God be with me.

I was never in the CAT race - A realization

It has taken a full two years of spending time,putting in effort and a steady focus on the deliverables each Sunday yet ignoring the prerequsites.The exam has had its charm beauty perhaps and i did have mine but the race was always different it had a different set of competitors and I was not one of them ,so much so that this thing has come to realization now.Well its a simple prerequisite like having the valdity to make calls on your phone ...ah stupid comparison i know still that's how i feel when i have in hand a mobile with its validity over.It takes time for certain realizations to sweep you.How I realize that this was the one thing i could have harped long before.Anyways this is the one point agenda for the coming days ,clear your cutoffs that's the one thing you cannot ignore,rest everything can be looked that but that remains the most ignored aspect in a continous pursuit to identify strength ,weaknesses blah blah and blah take some more blahs they are called speed and

The Journey

It has been a journey that has stretched too far,bit of prolonged in the sense that over the years gone seldom have i thought anything else but this .it now is all known that i have not been able to get to my one and only goal that of getting into the hallowed portals of IIMA till now.Everybody who I was with have gone ahead, some in school have passed,juniors have enrolled and friends have seen countries but I have been on my only mission with nothing to show except shadows of hardwork a few mock scores and loads of study material. It has been a dissapointing ride,frustating at times and with goads od bashes from friends and foes.Some questions do prop up Where will this end,all my sacrifice,all my hardwork,all my knowledge will it ever show up in this world or will i be left behind in this mediocre humdrum of so called corporate life waiting for onsite oppurtunities and salary hikes that come once a year.Honestly I feel let down by myself ,my heart refuses to buckle down ,my mind r

We are what we think and do

Image
Spectator today. Victim tomorrow? Don't turn a blind eye to accident victims. So true ,we think of moving our ways unconcerned about the suffering people around until we ourselves are at their places and there is no one concerned,Let's be concerned for all that we feel,let's put ourselves in their shoes each time we see them,let's feel for that's what life is all about.

Unbelievable stuff:the backbone of advertising

Image
This is a print ad of ORBIT kids ,unrealistic,yet catchy you do get glued to the pic,very simply put an excellent way to bring forth basics of strength that the gum stands for(though indian ads focus on whiteness offered remember the doc with grinning along with the buffalo).

Beautiful lines:I loved them

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty; to give of one’s self, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - that is to have succeeded. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Obituary:Pramodjee

Image
I always met him as soon as I clicked my remote he was there trying to put forth opinions all the time,indeed he was a young fellow providing a face of the future among stalwarts like Vajpayee and Advani. Indeed I have never been a fan of the culture into which BJP moved in the recent years ,however there is no doubting the fact that he was one of the best organizers that the party has seen.The most endearing of all his qualities is his grace to take up responsiblity when things went wrong that perhaps is a sure sign of things we do no come across everyday. He indeed battled ...right unto his death.
