ID 15

well before i get on with this story i better say that i had put in a blog on a floppy last week but was not able to put it as the stupid floppy screwed up...damn!! ok moving on i had a great weekend .. i went to my uncs house at dwaraka on sunday and from there to stephens where i met up with a few friends. I had met my roomie at my hostel in the mean time...nice clean guy...very studious!! i spent the night at my friends house and i wudnt take any names. Lets call them A B C D E... before shackin up the night we went to a convenience store at a petrol pump...and there was this owners dog in the back of the store....and A decides to whistle at it while the dog gets right behind him and starts barking at us [it wasnt tied u see!!]...hehehe the other guys got pretty freaked out!! and then minutes later the clock strikes 12 and its 15th aug and the national anthem starts playing...4 of us were high and decided to stand in attention and start singing the song....:D yeah the patriot in some ppl has to be coaxed out by high spirits.!!! The best part of the night was around 3 am whe A B C D were sitting on the park bench in the apt complex and C wants to take a leak... he says he is goin to the bushes by the side of the park...it was pitch dark and i told him dude its kinda risky da...what if a snake takes a liking to ur snake!! he laughs it off and walks off...and midway through the park he turns bak and asks me if i was serious....and i said yeah....he looked around and decided to pee right there!!! in the middle of the damn park!! :D last night i moved into my hostel....cool place...we got a canteen that opens till 4am and yeah i washed my clothes for the first time last night at 12am!! ok ok only on a washing machine...but still i did it!!! :D... ill put in more stuff about the hostel as i discover more about it...

We had our annual HRD symposia last week ... we had talks from the top HR honchos in the industry from Bank of AMerica, Satyam, Aviva, Flextronics, Bhel, BirlaSoft, TNS etc... i learnt a lot from there talks though most of them were of the nature of preplacement presentations...but it gave a very interesting insight into HR processes and work culture of different companies. Gave me more of an insight into how to go about choosing which companies to work for and what are the criteria each individual should look for.

Is Life Boring If there is no inundation?

Well i just read a mail from a friend in Mumbai talking about his quite unbelievable experience in mumbai during the recent rains there and this led me to think if my life is boring! Well ive not been close to bein inundated by anything in delhi, except for that leakin flush in rohans place!!

Well ive made it to the placecom in College. hmmm...dunno about the realms of responsibility coming up...but definitely lots of hard work and politics!! yipee!!! :D BTW we did have two guest lectures so far one by rajiv khandelwal , Dir Internal Audit Ranabaxy and another by Omar Farooq Head HR at ATS, who is also an alumnus of ours. Classes are gettin on ok...just about getting used to the 2 hr lectures but it gets really boring and irritating if a class is cancelled or rescheduled. The profs are good so far, not as bad as the ones ive encountered in my UG!!

Oh ok another clarification to all these family types who are reading this....no i did not snip Shreya' s hair....it was an accident and there were not more than 5 strands of hair about 5 cms long...if u hear anything otherwise its a big exaggeration and i am not responsible for it!

Had my first experience in delhi of getting into a restaurant and getting out as it was way over our budget!! and in our defence we thought it was sagar not swagat!! and its really weird to have a north indian guy reading out the specials for the day in a south indian restaurant!!....seriously even a simple word like idli is pronounced weird!! :D
