A fresh bout of energy




I have spent the better part of this week canoodling with my girl. There was nothing else on my mind but her and that helped me a lot. All my worries and problems became non existent and spent a few good dream like days with her . I really cherish the time i spend with her which is very minimal in the first place. I feel totally revitalized after this and feel that i have enough in me to take on this whole world. Life simply seems so beautiful when one is in an optimistic mood. It makes me want to do everything i can in the limited time i will be spending on this earth. Our relationship has now crossed 2 and a half years and often i find my friends wondering how i could be serious in a relationship. In college i was one of the most flirtatious guys around , though i believe i never really flirted in the true sense of the term , it was more of a good natured , no strings attached type of flirting. I am very serious about her and will get hitched with her . One of my friends once asked me about how i knew that she is the one. Frankly i really dont know and it really does not matter. Love in todays context is overhyped and the true meaning of it is rarely captured. Like everything it has been heavily commercialised and losing its innocence. But the best things about being in love are the simple things and it is these simple moments that i spent with her that has given me this fresh lease of energy which i badly needed. Thanks to Karishma in whose empty house we stayed and to all my friends namely Sriram, Nikhil, Tejas and Yash and imaginary friends namely Kunal, Kanika and Varsha who accompanied me on my imaginary trip to Pune where we stayed at Aundh Road and went to a disc called Xion and ate at a restaurant called Shukriya.

I also got the good news this week that i have been shortlisted for GD/PI at TAPMI and Nirma institue of management. Now waiting for the big one which is MICA that is expected during the first week of febuary. The only sad part is that my friend Karishma who did better than me in CAT could not get through since she her percentile in maths was not upto the cut off level in both these colleges. But both of us are surely in contention of a MICA call since they just see the overall percentile and hopefully we will end up doing our MBA's from MICA...That reminds me, the MICA placements for this year are done and they have notched an average salary of 6.2 lakhs per annum and for the first time there were international placements in a brand consultancy firm in Dubai. I do hope that this trend continues in case i manage to land up in this college as i want to take up Brand Communications as my specialisation.

Got to get some real thinking and studying done for the GD/PI's which are fast approaching. After all this hard work i do not want to stumble over the last hurdle.

Recently i have stumbled upon the website of an advertising agency and suddenly i really feel that i want to work there. Maybe someday in the future i would be able to work in that agency. The agency name is Strawberryfrog, a very wierd name but a nice little philosophy. http://www.strawberryfrog.com/sf/

cheers

who is this kanika?? is she hot? and what about varsha? i hope these two are single. btw Xion is really nice. i heard they have amazing margaritas there. and shukriya was such a letdown. i was expecting some exotic cuisines all i got was butter chicken.
next time let's really go to pune.

I was bored at Xion man. A teetotaller has little to do in such places. I am planning to come out with a book some years later titled "Bhaisaab ek Jeera Rice aur Dal Fry" I will write about the jeera rice and dal served at different restaurants, everything from a highway dhaba to the most expensive dal chawal served in this world. Shukriya will surelly make it to the index of that book.

Another book I am planning to work on is, "Bhaisaab yahan Veg mein kya hai?" This will be a book that sings praises to non vegeterian restaurants who have good vegeterian food. Matsyagandha of Panji, Goa will make it. Dragon of Deccan, Pune won't make it.

Well the trip to Pune was simply great. We took so many pictures. And we fully achieved the objective of the trip. Whatever it was.

Harsh u are going to get it from me for lying to your mother and meeting your chori and oh my God! MY head just goes round and round and round thinking about all the "canoodling"

Thats it. No more outing. No more internet shinternet, no more telephone cellphone. No more MBA ShemBeeYe. You are getting married to a nice telugu girl from Kakinada. And that is final.

(whatever made you think your mother wont read your blog.)

I knew you were lying. I went to Pune on a business trip and you were not there. Harsh, u lied to your father. Thats it. Fend for your self. You are your own man. When a boy thinks he is big enough to go romancing in the parks, give pravachan on true love he is big enough to fend for himself. Thats it.

(I know what you did last winter.)
