Random Insights

I feel very disorganised right now.So expecting me to put down something organised would be like expecting Udham Singh from District Jharsa , Haryana to win the International Crossword Championship held at Los Angeles .So it is tough to expect something sensible from me , more so right now .But I just want to blabber.I can chat with some of my friends here.But they are in the class and I am the only one on my hostel floor to bunk the class.So I am alone.So I will just put down random things in my head -

~~I have exams in three days.And I do not care.The grades for the first four terms matter for the placements.This is term 5. So I do not care about these exams.I will study a little .But at a broad level , the only thing I am taking to the exam hall is myself , and a pen.Or maybe I will borrow the latter in the hall itself.

~~I feel tired of all these submissions and deadlines and reports.Here in IIM , a deadline is never like 12 am.It is 11:59:59 pm.And over the last week , I have submitted papers on Co-branding , launch strategy for a hair oil , a analysis of the Indian Film Industry , a case about some gujarat gas company , a 'detailed look' at the Indian pharmaceutical industry , and a lot of other perfectly uselss and yet graded assignments I do not even want to remember.But yeah , FMS , Delhi organised a contest where we had to design a strategy for selling a "mosquito attractor".I submitted that a couple of days ago and that was fun.Even if we do not win , me and my pals had a great time laughing our intestines out working over this one.Meanwhile , you got any ideas on how to sell it ? As a snippet , our proposed strategy included launching the Mosquito attractor in three variants - Dengue Deluxe , Malaria Masti and A No-Frills variant.

~~I am changing the look of this blog and my blog identity because I feel bored of the black color of this blog and I feel bored of same old name I have had for 24 years .And I get to pick the name of my most favorite character , who is almost an idol - Jughead.I love and respect Jughead.When I was a kid , I forced my mom to stitch a 'Jughead Hat' , if you know what it is.I even wore it to school a couple of times .All the kids pointed at my head and laughed.But I love Jughead.

~~My movie watching frequency is dipping .It scares me.A movie is to me what a bone is to a doggie and what google is to an engineering student - indispensable.I was an engineering student too , and I used google for all the C codes.In my opinion , a major part of the education system is supported by Google. Anyway , I want to get my movie watching ways back to their vintage and glorious standards.Two nights back , I watched "The Terminal".With Tom Hanks in it and the entire movie shot in an airport terminal , I found it delightful. Finding Nemo and Crash lined up for tonight. I just hope no deadlines come up tonight.

~~I talked to my sister a couple of days ago.I asked her how she was.She said she was feeling a little upset.I told her not to feel that way , and told her that I would be coming home soon.She said that she felt very very upset on knowing that.

~~The european students who studied here for some months as part of a exchange program , are about to go back to their universities in a few days.I have become friends with a french guy .I taught him a little hindi over his stay here .When he came out of the hall after a class test , he is reported to have uttered "Man , this test was Ullu ka Pattha".I am proud of him.The Indian heritage of its foul words shall travel to France soon.

~~There is some problem with my Yahoo Messenger .So I am chatting to this friend at 2 in the morning.He is telling me about some girl who rejected his proposal and almost slapped him in a crowded mall.He is upset and down and heart broken.My YM gets stuck.The friend thinks I have went away without even telling him.I go to sleep and wake up and login to YM to find these offliners from him-

"Bastard."
"Do you IIM snobs want a fat salary for saying a simple goodbye too?"
"Bastard."

Perfect start to my day , I think.

~~I think I should study now.After all , I have these Ullu ka Pattha tests in three days.

here's an ULLU ka pattha comment for u.

1. yahoo sucks.
2. exams are stupid.
3.disorganisation is bliss.
4. jughead is a cool name.

Tipsy Topsy said...

the new look is hurting my eyes. or mebbe my eyes are just tired of studying quantitative techniques of manageeeement..it is so much fun to figure out which truck should travel on which route...i hope to put this invaluable knowledge to use some day...

note to self:
this is not my blog. i am commenting on someone elses. keep it short.

so many papers in such a short time! what superficial level of knowledge are u guys aiming at?!

we named a taiwanese female, who was visiting our office to attend a training with us, Rani Roopmati and when she asked what it meant, we told her it meant beautiful. THIS is wat is going to happen to ur sense of humor when u start working.

note to self:
shut up. u need sleep.

good night.

Arre wah naam bhi Jughead rakh liya aur blogs bhi Jug Suraiya jaise likhta hai...dono ka petnem bhi coumann hai - Jiggy :D

Adi Oso-Groot Finch said...

Camphor said...

1. Disorganisation is good. You know the yin-yang prinicple - "Keep chaos all around you for the eye of the storm has perfect peace."
2. Best of luck. Phek lena.
3. Bakwas deadlines. And I actually want to go to this place?
Aside: Camphor, you must be crazy!
4. Your blog title is still the same. Jughead rocks.
5. What was the frequency before?
6. *condenses 4 points in one* - :D

The new look is cool. And so is the name. So you have jugs in your head? I thought there were other stuffs like stones and rocks and cow dung. Never mind, Mr.Bizee B... how are you handling your newly acquired responsibility as CBB? Tell us, your fans, a little about it.

Good luck for exams. I myself have to make a few question papers for the final term very soon. So I can totally empathise with your teachers out there.

Fursat said...

@nidhi: tu pagal ho gayi lagti hai :)

shitij said...

Hey great blog man ....you seem to be quite a popular figure...good luck for your exams and their results(actually thats more important , trust me)

Tar said...

3 simple steps to make Malaria Masti a commercial success...
1) plug the attractor into the socket.
2) Apply Mosquito Repellent (OFF or Odomos should do, i guess) all over you and on the walls, pictures, frames, windows, sills, doors et al.
3) Mind you, just leave your Attractor ON or UN-Odomosized.
and lo! Mosquito gets attracted...

1 easy way to make Dengue Deluxe a commercial Hit...
1) hang a tag around the product that says in Big Block words
"ON MY WAY TO NIGERIA".
and lo! Dengue causing agent(watever its genetic name may be) will come running towards the attractor in good hope of catching up with its long lost frens.

If the above two work, i shall impart knowledge on how to get Filaria Fida rocking.

Neha Sinha said...

Sonia said...

An absolutely wonderful post and I just couldnt help commenting. You are in one of the places I aspire to be in but guess what it seems I am already there.
Just that we guys as engineers use more of Google than you do.
Great writing man.

"Ullu ka patha" test! Hilarious! :D

What an 'ullu ka patha' post, Abhi! Loved it! :D

Darth Midnightmare said...

*Sigh* Tell me about exams...or rather on second thoughts, don't tell me about them :-(. Same holds for the submissions and stuff. I hate these IIM deadlines...maybe I will write a post someday on how to manage IIM deadlines ;-)

As for European students, lol, these things are universal. The chappies here know "Sutta Song", complete with all the abusives, better than most Indians! They're fluent in every abusive you can imagine...they sound "natural" at them... :D

Abhi said...

@vinodh - Ah come on bro , Jughead is the last character to attract women , except Big Ethel maybe. Women ! Bah !

@Wtfdude - classic.you meant classically dumb post ?:)

@tar - Ah , you are already behaving as those blood sucking business tycoons;) .No answers but trade secrets already ?

@madmita - story in 55 words.Once upon a time , a fox lived in a forest.It died one day and everyone else lived happily ever after.Count them.Less than 55.:)seriously , sounds interesting , some day , some way , I shall try it.

@docsdope - Thanks.

@Ships-Arre unimited space hai mausi , 36 kya , 360 ke baad bhee scope hain.and news suni tune aaj ? main delhi aa raha hooon !!!:)

@vidhi - you dint tell me you had shifted to saturn ! what else explains your absence from blogging.come on vidhi , yours is one of the mosst emotionally rich blog , look after it.:)

@sayesha - Arre o pushpa , yeh duniya badee "ullu ki patthee" hai re.:).Yeah , that french guy is an indian at heart.

@mike - Yeah , looks like they really dig the feel of yelling a "ullu ka pattha".Gives em a fresh kick after all those french and soft abuses.:).And lets keep exams out of this talk , I agree.Between , you got great articles coming up on your blog , I am loving it.( did I hear "thats McDonald !" )
