The EASIEST 8 lakhs ever

         26 November, 2010, the day the unthinkable happened. The day, when what i had been hoping for, for the last 4 yrs, actually came true. The day, which is barely 48 hrs old, seems like one FUZZY DREAM sequence of events, and though they are gonna shape the rest of my LIFE, i barely remember how it actually unfolded. lol

          People say that success comes only to those who toil hard, are talented, are focused, are

driven by the sheer determination to achieve their aim, are aware of what is happening around them and can stand out from the crowd. These are the very thoughts, which even i had when i started with my MBA. Everybody around me, was clear about what they wanted, took part in competitions and won them by sacrificing their sleep and understood concepts at breathtaking speed. I knew i had to work extra hard, to even compete with them, but unfortunately, i was ALWAYS  too lazy to do anything about it.

           Before i could do anything to alter the my course, it was time for my SUMMERS, and as love struck as i was, i lapped up the first opportunity that came my way. And as it turned out, even though i didnt get the girl ;-), i managed to score BIG time with Ruchi Soya. Not only did i make my first money in years, i also managed to make a few friends along the way. And, as luck would have it, before i could recover from the exhaustion of the SUMMERS, college was back on, with life in the midst of its darkest period.

          The saving grace, was that innocent little kid "Udayveer". First, the sudden developments at Mercedes, then the rude awakening of Croma, and finally the celebrations for the Croma ppl, all within a time frame of 20 days, is the stuff that movies are made off. Whoso ever said, happiness of others makes ur heart ache, was clearly wrong, atleast on this occasion. For 2 yrs, i had convinced myself, i was going to get into auto or telecom sales, but as it finally turns out, i am gonna be a IT guy. lol

          Today, the feeling of having achieved a package of 8 lakhs, by parting, hukking and enjoying life without a care for tom, constantly falling in and out of love, is finally sinking in. Yet somehow, it doesnt feel any different. People keep repeating it,but it doesnt sound like such a big. Maybe life is not all about hard work, BUT smart work, connecting the dots, with lies if u have to, confidence to make it sound genuine and a belief that u can make it, despite the odds being stacked against you.

          U dream of a perfect, u dream of wearing something special, looking gud, stranges showering praises on you, getting an astronomical package with ur hometown as ur base(in all probability) is what came true on 26/11/10. so if a lazy bumm like me can make, anybody can make it.wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh       

The Immortals of Meluha

Well, aS the title of this blog suggests, i am in LOVE with the book THE IMMORTALS OF MELUHA(TIOM). I happened to read this book on my Diwali trip home, on my brother's recommendation, and boy, wasn't it a delight. It may not be the greatest literary piece ever written, but, for me it was a life saver.

          In the last few months, more than a few ppl have been surprisingly taken aback by my blogs, by the sheer seriousness of them and by the emotions pouring out of them. I will be lying if i say that, i didn't actually have a terrible last 3 odd months. But as in most cases, life flips on its head, when u least expect it too. In the last week of October, things finally started to look better, thanks first to the October fest n secondly to Dexter - the TV series. What questions about the duality of personality Dexter started in my head with the visual delight, TIOM drilled deep into my consciousness in less than 24 hrs. I still remember the most impact full line of the book, when Shiva has defeated the so called EVIL Chandravanshies, HE finds out that he was supposed to be their saviour too. This aspect of accepting both the good and evil sides of ur personality, no clear demarcation between black and white aspects of life and NOT being afraid to do things, JUST because its against the general norms, were aspects that had somehow gotten blurred in my head. 

           The trip home, not only gave me BACK my peace of mind, BUT also the UNJUSTIFIABLE arrogance to be brash again, to be COLD to my own emotions again and BREAKING another innocent heart (just because i could) without loosing my sleep over it.Now looking back, the last 3 odd months, my actions during them and my then state of mind, seem like my PUNISHMENT from GOD, for deviating away his GRAND plan for me, of NOT doing good, of NOT being caring, of JUST looking after my own interests, of making full use of every opportunity ( by any means necessary or running over anyone) and for THINKING that i NEEDED someone in my life to call my OWN,someone to hold on to, someone to lean on. 

           They say u r good LIAR if u can believe ur own BULLSHIT, then i must be F**KIN awesome, bcoz i had my self convinced for the better part of an year that THIS tiger had changed his stripes. lol. But as with everything in my life, the fight between gud and evil, ended with EVIL prevailing, n yet i consider myself GODS favourite child (or the one he loves to hate, the challenge of which i am actually starting to cherish again), simply because it proves that i am not only capable of handling anything which HE throws at me, BUT in the process also end up HAVING PLEASURES which most people can only DREAM off ;-)
             It is believed that ONCE u get ur heart broken, u can never even think of breaking someone else's heart, BUT then again some ppl just DONT conform to the rules of normal mortals, they make their own rules, they are the last THE IMMORTALS OF MELUHA and they are like ME
