Main aur Ramesh
(This was written by a guy from my section here in IIMA. It’s based on a MANAC (Managerial Accounting and Control) case on overheads called ‘You and Ramesh’)
Main aur Ramesh aaksar ye baatein karte hai,
agar mujhe overhead samagh me aata to kaisa hota,
overhead ye kehta, overhead wo kehta,
overhad aisa hota, overhead waisa hota,
main aur ramesh,
Song in background:
Ru ru ru..
Yeh kaha, aa gaye hum, yu manac padhte padhte,
Overhead ke pairo pe hai janam, mere sare number pighalte - 2
Song ends:
Ye quiz hai ki overhead ki khuli hui zulphe,
ye chaand hai ya mere paper pe ZERO,
ye sitare hai ya paper pe cross,
ye hava ka jhoka hai ya behoshi cha rahi hai,
ye patton ki thartharahat hai ya main kaap raha hu,
ye sochta hu mai kab se gumsum,
Majbur hai ye haalat iidhar bhi, udhar bhi,
Overhead ka ye khauf iidhar bhi, udhar bhi,
kehne ko to bahut kuch hai par kisse kahe hum,
kab tak yuhi khamosh rahe hum, aur sahe hum,
ki jab mujhe bhi ye khabar hai,
ki overhead nahi hai, nahi hai, nahi hai,
magar dil kehta hi,
overhead yahi hai, yahi hai, yehi kahi hai.
P.S. I’m just back from the daaru party on D21 terrace. Life is very good
Arbit!
Sometimes the best laid plans do not fail. They just keep rolling on and on and make me wish that I had more patience. Everytime I’m hit by tons of work or I’m in deep trouble, I promise myself that I’ll better value these slack, peaceful periods, but everytime I get bored in a few days and itch for something exciting. Today, my search for something new led me to this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnistria. Sometimes, I wish life was more abit!
Howz life?
On the other hand, life is good. Yesterday, I watched a play and had dinner in a very nice place. The play was in Natrani theatre on the banks of the Sabarmati. It was called Sacrifice and was performed by students of MICA. Vinz’s friend was in the marketing team and he got tickets for about 13 of us facchas (first year students) who went together. I loved it. The set reminded me of Gopalvan (an open air theatre in my school) and the play was a very welcome change from the standard entertainment fare of movies and Quake 3 that I’d become accustomed to. After that, Vinz, Chameli, MKaty and I had dinner in a place called Lounge 9. Nice place. It was my treat for J P Morgan.
About J P Morgan, that’s the company I’m going to be joining for my summer internship. It’s practically a dream come true and I’m so looking forward to it.
That yoga thing (refer previous post) didn’t last after all :( but I did start going to the gym. Hope that at least this lasts.
I got an A- in Marketing. I’m very happy because not only is this probably the highest grade across sections but also because it’s a soft/fart course and I usually do terribly in such courses.
I took part in the tug-of-war between sections. I was the anchor! (Yes, I realize that I’m getting too fat). In the first round, we were actually close to winning, but lost and in the second round, we were practically dragged across :( (It was best out of three). The other section had some real heavies but I was still pretty pissed off about it and my arms and fingers hurt for the whole of the next day.
Confluence (IIMA’s B-school fest) got over a while ago. My cell, Finance and Control actually didn’t have much work but I still ended up spending a lot of time over it. Actually, some work is still left. Everything was, as always, excellently organized. IIM Ahmedabad is too good!
The workload has magically shrunk after summers. I didn’t realize how much time the form-filling and attending ppts was taking until it all stopped. I’ve watched so many movies over the past few days that I’ve now grown tired of them. So these days, I spend a lot of time orkutting and chatting with friends, asking them the same old question that they ask me – ‘Howz life?’
