FOUR days of December…

Ohh no its 5.30am… nooo….!!! I wanna sleep for 5 more mins… I just slept… just 2 hours before…… ohh no its 7.…..so early….. Hell… I want more sleep but.... have to go college…. Rushing… preparing my espresso… Quickly doing some work out…. And then…. Going to get refreshed in ‘NOIDA’ water…. Well yeah…. NOIDA WATER….… Nowhere in Delhi…. Water can be so bad… well anyways… getting ready like life moving in fast motion…. Rushing for class…. Noo.. Not again…. But yes…. Am again late today…..
Well my usual day starts like this…. Then proceeds with long continuous lectures…. Which I frequently attend.. Almost daily…. ;) in between we get break of 15mins.. Sometimes less…. But those 15mins we really enjoy… then comes the evening…. Home sweet home…. It feels good to be home after a long day…… then some cooking…. sometimes playing with my friends… :) And after that of course…. assignments and presentations…. Part of my daily life……
A normal day almost goes like this…. Bit hectic but I love my routine…. :D
Life was going good so far… until one fine day we got our date sheet for 2nd mid semester exams…. Well it was nothing new…. Just another part of routine…. Exams… date sheets…. Nothing new…. I almost ignored it this time…. ignored it for 2-3 weeks… then before 3-4days of exams I clicked the picture of that notice in my cell phone…. But wasn’t bothered to read it…. I know am too careless at times…. and I accept it…. ;)
Well here come the time of exam… before starting I would like to explain the kind of exam schedule we had… it was for four days without any break and two exams each day…. Well I usually study just a night before the exam day… but this time it was different….
A day before my first exam….. ohh no where is the syllabus…. What all topics are coming…. What all we covered in class….. Everything just nil…. And then its me… ha ha ha…. I was blank but first time I was not stressed… Sometimes i feel am learning very good stress management in MBA… :D
Things here do give me stress but not in terms of academics… well…. Whole night I just didn’t opened book…. Then half an hour before sleeping I just felt like looking what all is coming… so I started with the 2nd chapter of LAW…. Wow…. Law is so easy… but hell I have no time left… I just went through that chapter and slept… I call myself nocturnal but I really dunno what happens in exams….. :P
Comes the day 1.. Well... as usual I got up late…. This day also…. 7…. Ohh noo…. Where is the book…. All routine… changed…. Espresso+book…. That’s so.. Law…. Going through one more chapter in the morning… I very quickly got ready and rushed to college…. Thank God!!! Am 1 minute before time…. :)
Here comes the paper in my hands…. Well starting with the MCQs… they are just your luck…. If it’s your day… you’ll score… if not then…. Deduct 15 marks… and did I mention my seat….?? Well I was sitting on the first seat in the middle row in the hall…. Though I never cheat…. But this time I didn’t had any chance too…. Well coming back to the paper….. it was something I have seen… dunno where… I guess last night in syllabus…. Hell yeaah… but what was it??? no clue…. Now comes your writing skill test… how well you can write stories…. And here I begin with the stories… the stories of LAW…. Exam finished… well I utilized my most of the time… now I have to go back home and see what’s in the syllabus for next exam for which we got about 3 hours gap….. Or say a lifeline…. I rushed back… opened book… and gave an overview to all the topics of the syllabus of next subject that was BUSINESS RESEARCH METHODS.… :)…
Comes the second part of the day…. Paper in my hand… well… yes… I know something… I can say I didn’t wasted my 3 hours….. Coming back to my home sweet home…. Well.. no cooking today… nothing…. Just exams for tomorrow…. I looked at the syllabus pretty early this time…. but hell again I dunno what all is coming in exam… calling buddies and asking who themselves are not very sure…. Well….okey forget it… am tired I need a sound sleep…. But no…. exam….. my dizziness not allowing me to study and my exam not leaving my mind to sleep… in the fight of two I was compelled to study… completed 1 chapter… and slept…. Morning again… am late again…. Completing with another chapter and rushing to college…. And comes the paper…. Well…. First thing its FINANCE… not my subject…. Second all alien Qs for us…. Yeeaah I said ‘us’… :)… I was feeling lucky that am not alone…. There are few people who studied but are standing with me… saying… it was bad…. Anyways I don’t mind standing alone too ;)… Again the next paper…. 3 hours break…. And this time I didn’t opened the book… and actually I didn’t knew the syllabus… so I decided to relax…. After 3 hours…. Paper was in my hands…. Well…. Feeling good…!!!!!!! It was nothing from the syllabus…. all a very practical paper…. Very general.. I enjoyed it and I was happy that I relaxed for those three hours…… :D
And third is yet to come tomorrow…. And am here relaxing…. It was a stress buster for me to write… and…. Now I must look where is my book…. Will continue rest of the story soon after exams…. Till then…. To be continued….. :)

Amazing 'JUNGA'



Junga… a small village 40 kms away from Shimla, Himachal Pradesh..
A very beautiful hill station in the lap of nature.. A place away from noise and pollution…
A place that existed somewhere in my imagination… A place which is as beautiful as its people….
A place where everyone fall in love…. A place called as Junga A Land of Love….

I got this opportunity of visiting Junga last year i.e., final year of my college for our fieldtrip.. I must say it was not just a fieldtrip which taught me in terms of the place and its culture but also in terms of life and how beautiful it can be…. It was something which is still alive in my memory…. As if I just came back from there or may be the cold winter nights are reminding me of those cold nights.... amazing place…. I feel as if I lived a dream… scenic beauty that I composed in thoughts…. Such a beautiful creation of God it is…. Must say… like a heaven on the earth… at least for me from the places I visited till now it was something different… A place in the lap of hills…
One strange thing about Junga was 98% of total marriages there were love marriages… and it was belief of people there that Junga makes people fall in love… Well.. no comments on their belief ;) ;)
One reason of why am writing on Junga is… it is something I can never forget...…. how about living a life where your day starts with your favorite espresso and a long morning walk in the hills.. Followed by a work you love to do... which was study of culture of that place and interacting with people.. Playing cricket or any other game in the evening with the localites... and after a tiring day… a peaceful night with your friends… And few things I prefer not to mention here… Aah!! life can’t be better…. Well I don’t think I missed anything there except few people I left here in Delhi… :)
Now when I think of it I really feel it was a dream…. How can life be so good…… and perfect….. or I would rather say… I loved those imperfections as well… whatever it may be I would love to go there at least once again in my life…. Life was different there…. Completely different….. and it was like a dream world for me…. Really AWESOME!!!!! :D

Summer Internship…. Dunno where I gonna land up….

Next move… summer internship… as time is passing I realized exams are just a part of daily life :P..
So nothing to mention about them they are no more ‘something different’ to share… And how can they be when you have to give exams just every next month that’s so of all your 7-8 subjects…
They say when you’ll start working you won’t get time... But I feel when I’ll start with my career I’ll have more time... at least I’ll get weekends off.. No matter even if not regularly... But sometimes at least… here we hardly get a single off… and keep on looking for a single day for ourselves…
Though my summer internship will start in feb’2009 am already excited about it… though till now I don’t even know where I’ll be placed for those 3.5 months... But whatever it may be whenever I think about it I am occupied with mixed feeling of excitement and stress… Excitement because it’ll be my first corporate interaction (for a period of time) and stress because I don’t know where am going to be placed.. Since its first time am going to work in real environment I want it to be good… really good… but let’s see what’s there for me in store… And when am there I’ll make it Good :D ;)
Am looking forward to it enthusiastically… two more months to go… Hope it gonna ROCK!!
