Rant


Satisfaction is a wonderful feeling and i have got big doses of this feeling over the past few days. I have been doing suprisingly well in my Finanace course where i though my doing well was as remote as Atal Behari Vajpayee losing his bachelorhood. Well Atal is still a bachelor but me now sure of getting this diploma. And to add to that i had a very satisfying and moral boosting SNAP ( admission test to Sybiosis too). Two more exams to go this week then i start preparing for the real big ones, but that another story.

So i just felt like not studying at this moment and write. But then i am simply rambling without any purpose. I am must be sounding a bit like George Bush when he talks about World peace even though he has no idea what he is speacking about. I often wondered whether i would become a politician. I would definately enjoy the power that comes along with it . Power also has this capacity to make you rich which is an added benefit. Intellectually it may seem to be downgrading but dont be mistaken , i can hardly think about any other professions that offer such intellectual challenge. Also primarily a politician is concerned with developing inter personal relationshipos which i cherish. However there is only one thing that will get me into politics and that is if the middle class start getting active in politics. whenever this votebank becomes active is going to change the face of Indian politics. Unfortunately i do not see this happening. So i wont crib about Indian politics and the charlatan politician since i do not take part in the process.

But then sometimes my parents say why dont you give the civil services exam. Again i am choosy in life and the only government civil servant post that interests me is that of a foreign ambassdor which i see dominated with men old enough to have seen World War 1. I do not have the patience to wait for my knees to go weak.

Ahh well now for the moral of this rant. Do not read posts that has the word rant as the subject .. mostly i wont make any sense.

Bye

And ooh yah the picture has go nothing to do with this post , though the whole world knows he is in Pakistan.

Taxing Times





Tommorow is my Tax paper and hence the cliched title of my post. Had my financial management paper which suprisingly went well and can expect anything above 80% in this paper. Ahh but tommorows paper is a totally different story. Tax is full of dry facts which would make watching Bill Gates counting all his money look interesting. And i have not yet started the damn thing.. :(((
Well sometimes i wish i could still be a careless kid catching ants and trying to make them swim. Used to derive pleasure out of that activity when i was a kid though i have no idea why. Well this leads me to a comment of George Costanza on the Jerry seinfeld show:

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no reponsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last 9 months floating... then you finish of as an orgasm !!! Amen"

Whoever wrote this is brilliant. What a take on life. Anyways my happiness is getting taxed at its source so i have to file my TDS returns not to forget the additional surcharge that has been levied on my sleep due to all this. God i want a rebate

cheers

The way i waste my time


As mentioned earlier i have not been studying instead trying to find out from which angle do i resemble Abhishek Bachchan the most. His cool dude act in Bluffmaster has me floored. Mind you i am not gay , he is just a phenomenon called Abhishek Bachchan who has brought oodles of attitude with him which simply makes me curious and wonder how the hell does he do it. He aint drop dead good looking but i swear by the street dog that once tried to mount me show me a girl who can resist him and i will run naked in Wankhede stadium.

Ahh well this is not the only thing i have been doing but rather went about surfing bizzare and interesting sites . Have your pick.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. All those who are in a relationship would absolutely love this site even though this is about a english man and a german girl. The guy lists out all the things they fight over about. absolutely hilarious.

http://mil-millington.com/

2. Then we have the cost of having sex with girlfriend or wife calculator.

http://www.costofsex.com/

3. The first thing that came to my mind after seeing this site is Laloo Prasad Yadav, the indian politician who holds the world record of having hair pop out of maximum number of wierd places. See the link and you will understand :)))

http://www.nobodyhere.com/justme/nose.here

4. A listing about the distinct characteristics of numbers from 1 to 9999. Very interesting if you like number theory.

http://www.stetson.edu/~efriedma/numbers.html

5. This one takes the cake, a site dedicated to destroying the earth. And mind you it is all scientific with highly accurate and precise data and statistics . For example,

Current Earth-destruction Status

  • number of times the Earth has been destroyed: 0

Information courtesy of the International Earth-Destruction Advisory Board


And here is the preamble

Preamble

Destroying the Earth is harder than you may have been led to believe.

You've seen the action movies where the bad guy threatens to destroy the Earth. You've heard people on the news claiming that the next nuclear war or cutting down rainforests or persisting in releasing hideous quantities of pollution into the atmosphere threatens to end the world.

Fools.

The Earth was built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily. So my first piece of advice to you, dear would-be Earth-destroyer, is: do NOT think this will be easy.

This is not a guide for wusses whose aim is merely to wipe out humanity. I (Sam Hughes) can in no way guarantee the complete extinction of the human race via any of these methods, real or imaginary. Humanity is wily and resourceful, and many of the methods outlined below will take many years to even become available, let alone implement, by which time mankind may well have spread to other planets; indeed, other star systems. If total human genocide is your ultimate goal, you are reading the wrong document. There are far more efficient ways of doing this, many which are available and feasible RIGHT NOW. Nor is this a guide for those wanting to annihilate everything from single-celled life upwards, render Earth uninhabitable or simply conquer it. These are trivial goals in comparison.

This is a guide for those who do not want the Earth to be there anymore.

A dog chasing a car seems to be more productive , at least the dog is getting some exercise. So whoever reads this post please do pray that i get into a more serious mood soon enough .

Cant study !!!!!



What do i do ??? I have my financial management exams this week and i am as interested as Navjot Sidhu will be in becoming a mime. The problem is there are two subjects which are as uninteresting as watching a water droplet evaporate. I am tryiog to force myself to study these two subjects of Financial Management and Managerial Accounting. The remaining three subjects are interesting enough so not too much bothered about them and also in these three subjects we had projects so managed to cover up half the marks required to pass. But the other two papers are 100 marks each . The problem is i do not have enough knowledge to even bluff my way though these papers. So now i am sitting and simply staring blankly at my books and am chewing on my third pencil . God alone knows what is gonna happen.

In other news i have given my IIFT admit card to the bhel puri wala along with the prospectus. The results were announced yesterday and did not get through. More hopeful about NM but with dunno what is in store. I will never forget this b-school enterance period of my life, never struggled so much for anything else in life. Am used to getting whatever i want with little hardwork but for the first time in my life i am actually slogging though still not even upto 50 % of my capacity . Lack of focus has always been my bane when it comes to studies, however give me a project or any other practical work to do and i do it with all my heart. Aah well at least i dont stop trying, so im off for another attempt at decoding those weirdly bunched up together letters and alphabets.

adios

P.S: Very soon me coming up a with a list of resolutions for the month . Whether i follow it or not only nostradamus knows.....

I aint really the creative kind but do have some odd ideas now and then. This is one of the few which i actually executed.

IF

Really love this poem, difficult to imbibe but ceratainly not impossible. Will be blogging sparingly over the next 10 days, till then enjoy the poem :))


[IF]

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

--Rudyard Kipling

Crash




Well i had written a post and deleted it entirely. I do not even now why i want to title this post crash, but somehow it sounded right. Havent posted for a long time , did not know what to blog about. Should i blog about the growing disinterest to return to my books or two very boring but successful presentations i made in my Financial management class. After the IIFT exam i have simply let go and have not been doing anything , just whiling my time away. Coming sunday i have my NMIMS test which is something i really should be cracking. Slowly trying to reaccess my situation today and get back into the groove.
cheers
