Fast and Curious..

Life is fast...I am curious to know whether am makin the right moves in the frenzied activity where more often than not I am just hurried into a decision with minimal cerebration.... "Movin on with the crowd who always seem to want to catch a next flight to paradise in five minutes, rather than THINKin and plannin the next decision" - this is what I am doin...but guys, Playin catch up with an F1 car is not my definition of FUN....

Well, this rather incoherent start is not an offshoot of another of my shots of tequila...Summers happened at IIMB... Midterms, unforgiving as ever, happened a day after the placements' invasion into my time was over....Even the so-called celebration of gettin a place to go for the summer was short and yet again hurried.....
Yeah at this not so appropriate juncture, lemme say where am goin for my internship...Microsoft, Location to be known, either for a consult or a marketin role.....And BK, had to refuse ur ex company in the process;)
Now, after all the waves of frenetic activity have died down, I am still not sure whether I chose what I wanted or whether it was "take what comes ur way and get the hell outta the process"...I am definitely happy and relieved abt the placement but whether it was the best i could have mustered, I dont really know...
Not so long ago I seemed to have decided to go all out for the biggies in marketing, and then this happens....
Que sera sera....I am gonna take this by the horns and see whats in store.....Life is definitely better than it was last week with the uncertainty that had clouded over IIMB junta...cus summers and the midterms are over....Midterms were not as bad as term 1...which is good for India;) AND yeah Here's an official congrats to my dear pal Sab, aka Garbaa...who made a dream offer at HLL...Vindi Banga...watch out...our man is gonna gun for u...

And term 1 CG is also out in the open...I am not one of the toppers at IIMB, That was no surprise to me....But I aint a misfit here either....Lets see what terms 2 n 3 have to dish out.....Was particularly happy with comin out on top atleast in one course...I do hav an A to show my grandchildren;) See, I am gettin better at being satisfied by whats on offer....Life goes on...Albeit too fast and with so much in offer that I end up missin more than what I take....

Heaving a sigh of relief....and signing off...

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....

A AA...Review

Well, Don't fall for the track record at providing cheap humor that the director SJ Suryaah has...And don't even read this review beyond understanding that THESE KINDA MOVIES SUCK....
My points of concern read alarm
1. WTH is ARR doin in this movie...
2. How are junta actually standin such movies...vigadan gives it 41...i will give it 1 mark
3. The idea of live in partners is depicted in the cheapest and crappiest of ways...every scene in the first half had me uneasily, restlessly looking for the exit...
4. WTF does SJS think he is? a superman or what...his sense of impunity and lack of sens(itivity) is unparalleled...

For the record...i walked out for the first time in my life durin the intermission....
Anticipating better fare in Thotti Jaya, Gajini

Yamunaa theeram....Moksha...Bliss....Salvation..

Song of the decade.....
Ok i jus wanted to tell the world that this is the song i love the most.....and ok
