Back to EARTH.....!!!

-
Today, i appeared in my first ever mock placement exercise and as expected i dint even clear the first round.It wasa mock placement test,which was conducted by CL and consisted of three rounds.The first round was an aptitude test of one hour.The second round was supposed to be a GD round and the third one,an HR interview.

A total of 96 students gave the aptitude test.From the 96 students,a total of 60 were selected (65, after some guys left after giving the test).The test comprised of 10 basic mathematics questions.I attempted 7-8 ques(i am nt sure of the exact figure).After the test,the results were declared immediately.the guy from CL called out the names of all the students who were selected,one by one.I waited patiently for my name to be called out, it never was.......... All the castles came crashing down.After the high from tha IMS ppr,the low was expected.Maybe this faliure dint managed to touch my heart coz of the fact that i never backed myself to clear the first stage.One main reason, why i appeared for the exam was to know where i stand and help myself keep my feet firmly on the ground.I sincerely wanted to test myself and get some of the rust off my brains.I have realised it,that some portion of the grey matter atop my body has begun to rust.Honestly speaking, the last time i studied sincerely was during my 12th boards.So, here i am, perfectly aware of where i stand, in this BIG BADD WORLD.

No, i am not breaking down,nor has my morale dipped one bit.I am happy coz of the fact that, from now on no castles will be built in air and if at all, there are some remainig, then i will try and put the foundations beneath them.So, i am not disappointed one bit, the main reason being the fact that, i somehow expected the low after the high.And as the burden of 'expectations from myself' has got off my shoulders.I still remember,how rosy it all turned out to be,when the chips were down during my 12th days,when i was 90% sure that the only place i will get admission in, will be Khalsa College DU.......lolzzzzzz,(forget about IP) In the end,what it turned out was,a more than 'just good' %age in 12th and good ranks in almost all the entrance exams i appeared in.Now,this is what gives me the inspiration and this is where i see light at the end of the tunnel......................... =======(

P.S.-Hope the feelings stated above dont fizzle out when i wake up tomorrow.............. :p

Yes ... Chabbi Janvary again :)

-
So, if you wonder what is so special about this day, apart from the fact that it is the Republic Day of India, that I religiously try to write a post about this day every year – then let me clear a few doubts this ‘Chabbi Janvary’. ‘Chabbi janvary’ is how we pronounce ‘26 January’ in Punjabi. The first time I wrote the ‘Aa gayi Chabbi Janvary’ post (in 2006), it was just a post with a title which I thought sounded funny when written- it’s ok, now even I know that it aint funny. The second Year – well, I somehow just remembered that I had written a post at this time of the year, in the previous year – so, I titled it ‘Aa Gayi Chabbi Janvary firse’ (It’s 26 January again). The third year, I forgot to write on this day. I again remembered it in 2009, and titled the post as ‘Aa Gayi Chabbi janavary … is baar 2 saal baad’ (i.e. after 2 years). In 2010, I had again forgotten, but Amitesh reminded me of writing it .. only then it struck me that, people actually remember that I write a...

Delhi - Gurgaon and the usual!

-
*Rant Alert* The traffic of Delhi-Gurgaon is a great teacher. It teaches you so many things in such a short span of time that at the end of your journey from Home to Office you are a lot more humbled. It teaches you to be thankful, it teaches you the importance of short memory and many other things. When you start from home at 7:15 in the morning, the pleasant weather and light rain gives you the great energy you would need to start your day on a happy note. And, then suddenly you find a malfunctioning Traffic Signal which is turning green for just 30 sec resulting in 15 min stoppages where it should ideally be just 2 to 3 minutes. You realize, it’s never wise to count your chickens before they hatch. A little further down the way, there is a caring father who stops his car on the right most side of the road – next to the road partition. He leisurely stops the car, waits for his son to get out with his bag and water bottle and go to school on the other side of the road – ...

"Going Home for Diwali"

October - Yes, the festive season is near. In the morning, when you wake up there is a cool breeze that is blowing. You slowly try to ease your way out of the bed and crawl into the bathroom for the shower, only to turn the shower On and stand next to it trying to muster up the courage to get into it. The water is cold, and you are probably too embarassed to start using the Water Heater, yet. You wait until you realize that you are getting late for office and then dash into the shower and out of it as quickly. So, the hot and humid summers are gone. In the evening there is a very pleasent fragnance from the flowers on the trees. That pleasent smell (for lack of a better word) reminds you that the festive season is here. Diwali is coming soon! Suddenly, you have a smile on your face. There are a countless feelings which you feel during this time of the year. It is a sort of a high you wait for, all year long. There is an old Maruti Suzuki advertisement which starts coming every y...
