Can I unlearn the art of Unrestrained and uncontrolled eloquent bullsh***ing....?

For a momentary sojourn to a different city or probably country to spend the interim time between the first year and second year in hell, the "place" (placement committee for the unaware) makes u go through well....more of hell....Ofcourse, these guys are doing a stellar job in gettin us placed and half of wat IIMB is, is due to these unsung heroes.....
But life is what the heck-tic......
A dozen resume submissions to every company that decided to put up shop in some of those god forsaken garages and under those banyan trees.....
If that were not enuf...we are subjected to relentless and unrestrained continuous discourses on the nuances of corporate life and the mantras to succeed in life, work and everythin else by some wise grey haired, paunchy guys in blazers....welll we are talkin abt the Pre Placement talks that we attend everyday......
And...its not all......we have some more fartin to do in the forms that ask u everythin from your dog's maiden name to the color of ur toilet's tiles....

What are ur three areas of focus in life in the last three years?
Me : Batting, bowling and fielding....

What do u think are ur strengths and weaknesses.?
Strength - farting
Weakness - well, it smells...

What do u think is ur greatest achievement in life so far?
My paunch....

Why do u want to join us?
Well, u offer free food and accomodation..

What are ur short term and long term goals
Short term : To sleep well today
Long term : To sleep well everyday

How do u see urself ten years from now
FAT....

Well all this uncalled for cynicism apart.....we do have a lot of work to do,..but it is somethin that is gonna serve us in the long term....ofcourse all pain is endured by believing gullibly, these glob statements...We are kinda privileged to be gettin all these opportunities....but the point is....
with the load of burdensome courses that unfailingly flummox the lesser mortal that I am, and the placement season heatin up every min....
It is time to say goodbye......
The big fat book of corporate finance that unceasingly talks of nett present value and the time value of money beckons...as if to prick me in my bottom sayin "Dude...study".....
Kotler, with his unique and unparalleled ability to scare the wits outta the reader by conjuring countless jargon in every page....is also callin me to pick him up and consume some of his gyaan....soon..
Its hence at the better interests of mankind that I sign off......

Gajini - Review

I was delighted wen my iimb frnds called me to prarthana for a sat evenin Gajini show...I was lookin fwd to this movie from ages and a car ride to the theater was a welcome bonus...We picked a prime location from which to watch the movie and waited sincerely for an hour and a half for the movie to start...Ok on to the review...

Gajini started well and for those like me who dint see Memento (its english inspiration) the first half an hour was enjoyable. Surya was lookin very ominous with all those tattoos but I was disappointed seeing the spelling of "Cartridge" in one of the shots...
The surya - asin romance was contrived but again watchable. The irksome part was the ad-film maker and asin sequences..but it was bearable...
Songs sucked big time...Asin looked yuck in her intro song..."Oru maalai" song was also not well picturised...Very disappointing show by Harris Jayaraj...Summaa pazhaiya kaalathu re-recording pottu ob....
The switch of scenes between past and present was well conceived and i was lookin fwd to the second half over dinner durin intermission...
But..the second half sucked so badly that it got ridiculous beyond a point...the villian double action fundae was uncalled for and shitty....it was confusions galore beyond the first 15 mins after the interval.... Nayanthara made a royal fool of herself...and i was relieved wen finally the confusions came to an inevitable end....Surya, his presence, his charisma, his hardwork...in spite of all this, the movie fails to pass muster.
A watchable movie...but one expected much more from this promising director, actor, cast and crew...
Harris better do some justice to his projects.....so too Nayanthara...
Rajasekar was not noticed much...not much scope for him but for the residence shots...
I was disappointed to say the least after gajini....
