time of my life

Musical chairs (gears) !!!!!......Take 1

2006-04-24T12:43:00.000-07:00

My song for every occasion.......

In a class :::

Summer has come and past,the innocent can never last.
Wake me up when "the class" ends......
Here comes the prof again,falling from the stars.
Drenched in my pain again,becoming who we are.
As my memory rests,but never forgets what I lost.
Wake me up when the dreadful thing ends......

Learning my guitar :::

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at much more than a five-and-dime
Played 'til my morals fled
It was summer of '03
Me and some guys from coll......
Had a Band and we tried real hard
Karty quit and "Nobody" got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far

For the frst crush :::

Even in my heart I see
You’re not being true to me
Deep within my soul I feel
Nothing’s like it used to be
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad baby

Quit playin’ games with my heart
Before you tear us apart
I should’ve known from the start
Before you got in my heart

Rejected by her :::

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone........................

Selected at IIM-B ::::
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
"It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time. It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life. "

Exam time ::: (this is a longer one......cudnt think as to wat to scrap of)

I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own... here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own... here we go
My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine
My sense dulled
Passed the point of delerium
On my own... here we go

The IRAQ war :::

Don't want to be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new media.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the idiot nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow
.We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Before the interviews :::

to find myself againmy walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before so insecure

The day before the results :::

Mama, take this "badge" off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see (gets real dark a day bfore)
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door!!!!!!!!!!!!

When i smthing bad is happening in this world :::

This is a song real close to my heart......really a masterpiece

There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretneding day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

And before i wrap up :::

""
I wanna be young the rest of my life
never say no - try anything twice
til the angels come and ask me to fly
I'm gonna be 18 til I die - 18 til I die
""
plz don't worry 'bout the future - forget about the past
gonna have a ball - ya we're gonna have a blast
gonna make it last - 18 til I die

my iim-a xperience

2006-04-09T10:55:00.000-07:00

Well......after so much pushing....i finally find time to write down one of my most memorable xperiences...my iim a interview....

Date : 13th mar
Time : 2:00p.m.
Venue : IIFT, Delhi....

Got up at 9:00 in the morning to be treated wid hot paranthas n an almost jug of milk (thts wat i ve got to take wen at home)......perfectly punjabi breakfast...
bt apart frm tht thr were a few more things in my tummy........ to be precise butterflies....... one of the biggest days in my life......bt i tried to remain calm..

A few hours later..... i had reached tht place.... IIFT....they have got a decent campus bt none of them seemed to know which way are the syndicate rooms whr we were to be interviewed (strange i thgt)

Nevertheless i followed a bunch of "suited-booted gentlemen" wid tense faces bt nevertheless smiling.......

As we entered the common rooms where we had to wait before the panels were decided and we despersed.......had an infinite no. of handshakes....n hellos

Was alloted panel no. and we dispersed to our alloted places......(again handshakes wid all the people in my panel...remember abhinav , avik , rishabh , gaurav,anoop +2 more guys)

I thgt people at an iim-a interview were supposed to be very serious bt i was wrong....all were totally chilled out guys and tht made me a lot more relaxed..

All were led to a semi-circular seating arrangement in a room.....where we were greeted by 3 very pleasant professors.......
1. One of them had an einsteinien kind of look wid unkempt hair....
2. Other was the humourous one.....
3. Third one was a serious guy....... bt very comforting

The case was regarding a famous restaurant panchvati....a chicken bone found in a jain thali...customer outraged....wat will u do...decent showing...came out wid bout 4-5 decent pts......pretty satisfied

Hi all to my first blog......
I have never been the creative sort of guy who finds heaven in writing, but there is a different purpose i have created this blog.
Final year and I am all ready to bid adieu to my alma-mater....so i thgt why not just pen down everything i have learnt in my four years at college....
The next few days are gonna be the most important time of my life.... got interview calls from the prestigious iims..... and am busy preparing for the final hurdle.....
I thgt tht this is a good idea to keep postin my preparation algorithm to help frnds and also to e be reminiscent of these gr8 and important times
Well, the credit for this brilliant idea goes to one of my frnds ashish. Thx mithal.
So probably i will not be the most regular of bloggers but nevertheless have something gud to offer......
