Blogger didnt allow a comment tht is this big :P....so posting it here for junta to read his experience as well :)
forgive him for he uses the shortcut language for words and many shortcuts.....u might not understand few words but wil surely grab the essence :D...Happy Reading
Comment from Yashu:
Sexy one!..As always! :)
N as far as my exp goes..most of it is already in ther :P..i wud try to dissect that "Ossum experience" as sahiti put it :)...
Dat was the time wen most of us wer travellin half the country anxiously 2 impress ppl :P..different instis...different GDs...different processes..i guess the whole experience got the critic out of me..as i was constantly comparin different process wid considerable amount of subjectivity :)
Then comes the IITM interview :)...
The whole structure was gud..neatly laid out...almost on schedule..thanks to ur seniors :)..Has a brief session wid the HOD, which was gud :)...n as sahiti tels me, who happens 2 b a rock star in the dept :)...
Moving on to GT..Surely!!!..one of the most polished group activites i had in the whole season! :)...v were 6 or 7 in all...had a kind of situation where in u r in-charge of the Sales division..and ur best guy is using unfair/unethical practices to achieve targets..has been the best sales guy of ur comapny.. in the wake of this discovery...how wud u handle the situation....
Havin had a very bad experince in my previous insti...wid some guy startin off the GD wid the crappiest and the most random details possible, i decided i wud not let it repeat :)..So, i staarted! :P...
the case was on a piece of paper, n as i cud see few guys werent finished yet wen the panel gave the cue 2 start, i started articulating the situation bein confronted by the manager quickly....30secs.., not long enuf 2 make some one else feel the same way abt me :P...Then..started off wid wat different dilemmas the manager faces and the challenge of balancin n shit...it was only after 5min...dat i realized dat this GT wud be peaceful all throu the given 15min! :) ...everyone was speakin at their own ace...none acting smart or grabbin the max airtime...n after 12min r so...v were actually encouragin oders 2 speak :P..In all, had a decent enuf discussion...in the end, the profs asked each one of us to sum up wat v discussed in the last 15min..This was my moment!:)...This was one thin i picked up dat season...scribbling imp point during discussion..Believe me!!.Comes in very handy!!:).. I was the last person 2 present the summary...n i guess i put my best frwrd :)..<> ..i vl tel u wat impresses the profs....u apparently need 2 highlight all the imp points discussed ( not only urs! :P )..This is wat gen happens..ppl summarize wat THEY feel abt the topic...nt wat they discussed..n it becomes a summary of wat U think..nt wat u discussed...and never add any new points in summary..instead say..."While v discussed all these points..I think v cud have also looked at other perspectives as...the emotional dilemma, favoritism...etc etc.."..This wud come across as brownie points..if somethin occurred 2 u at the last moment..
Now, the interview..:)
tuk some special permission to get mine slotted in the beginnin as i had a train 2 catch :)
they were 2 panelists...one guy was a US returned guy(referred to as US)..the oder one did his masters in civil(refered to as H)...and of course..on the oder end of the table...was a professionally dressed..suave mannered, admission deserving individual :P..me..Yashwanth :) (refered to as Y)..
US n H:Good afternoon Yashwanth!
Y: (Are u stil readin this?!..i mean...wat do u xpect me 2 say? :P)
H: Before v begin wid the process, i want ur opinion on smthin...I am a masters in Civil engineering..He is a Us returned guy..how do u think v cud assess u as a candidate for an MBA prog
(Ah!..Valid Question!..Can i have a change of the panel please!?:) )
This was one thing which i love :)..talkin abt seemingly unrelated stuff..and drawin logical conclusions frm it :)..then i went on abt how the process was not 2 test whether u r proficient in the technicalities but whether u fit in2 the scheme of mba prog...n ur experience wid the students in the past wud have enriched you in terms of lukin thru potential candidates and zeroin on them..and how the us guy cud bring in his experience n the students can learn so much....blah blah blah :)
<>
H: Great..If u feel so, i think v wud try our best to live up2 ur expectations...Temme somethin abt urself..
I went on and on..giving reasonable pauses...tryin my best to make it sound like..i was having a "Self-introspection" session right there...
H: Talked about some current topic...in the news...dnt quite remember...
US: So..u like Chess!..
( Oh yeah! :)..)
Do u know of this somethin called Elo rating?...
(Did i say..i "like" Chesss...Scratch dat...i "Love" Chess! :)...Ofcourse i know!!! )
Started off how Elo rating cam into existence...and how its used by FIDE 2 rate chess players..and hhow fascinating it is...dat only 4 players cud ever cross the mark of 2800!!..:).....
Wid the kind of things i was rambling...I was like..marrofying over action at a break neck speed...:P..bt then..Dude!..it was me at the wheel!...:)
and then, he tells me that he is also very much interested in Chess!..then he says..Which opening do u think is most effective?...
For a moment, i was caught offgaurd..Oh man!..U are takin the Chess thing forward!..Oh!!.I shud play this safe...If i m nt careful here, i wud end up bein marked as someone who puked it all out from wat he read on wiki the previous nite..So, i said.." Thers nothing like a perfect opening...It depends on a lot of factors like wether u want 2 b offensive..defensive..n shit...(Did u notice!.I was already an MBA!:P..I was answering using the "it depends...Contingency!:P"...)..
Then he said...Lets paly Chess for sometime..Me: (:-O)....then he says..( At this level, i realized that the depth to which this disc was leadin to was great...if i answer..i win big!..if i dnt, i dnt really lose much:)..)...Ok, wait..just tel me few initial moves of the Giuoco Piano opening...<>...Now, this was where i was showin off! :P.. I said...there are 2 types of nomenclature..and explained how the old system used to address the moves by addressing whether the piece was on the kings side or Queens..and how eventually ppl realized that such a sytem was 2 confusin :P..Then came the modern system!..wich was much more simpler! :)...I quickly recollected the opening moves of Giuoco Piano..was tellin him...bt smhw messed up the last move...n gues wat!..He corrected me!!!..I cudnt help!!..I was impressssssssed! :)...I wud hav taken him if i were interviewin him!:P..Bt then dat last hitch din really matter much i gues..he was happy wid me :)...
Ooops...got 2 rush...my FIN assignment!:)
So, cutting the long story short :P...the H guy askd me some techinical stuff ...ECE engg..cant really recal those questions...some basic fundae...Then..both of them wished me a Happy Journey!:)..Soo nice of them! :)
Post-interview:
Came out..waiting 4 sahiti...there was this cute gal who had her interview on bharatnatyam and different kinds of dancing..somethin..4got her name :)..i guess she ur batchmate now...Say hi 2 her 4 me! :D ..N also, she was lukin cute the oder day! :P..

My IITM Interview
This is the last but one interview of mine and I wasn't tensed at all. With just IITD left in queue, I was all happy about going to Chennai for the Interview. Me and Yashu left by the bus from Hyderabad to Chennai and stayed at the Bank of India Guest house which Yashu's dad had arranged for us :)...To the uninformed, Yashu is my best friend's younger brother and had interview in the same slot as mine.
Had a quick breakfast and took some inputs from the guest house keeper about how to bargain with the Chennai autowallas! Must say, they are worse than the Hyderabad ones! Finally arrived at the gate and then didnt know where to go! Some bus came in and we promptly got into it, not even wondering where it would go to! Asked the driver if it would go to MBA dept and he didnt seem to know!!!! Our first management funda in place! When you dunno what to do, always blame it on outsiders :P....told the driver about how someone guided us to get into the bus. Then one of the students came to our rescue and told the driver to drop us at DoMS(Department of Management Studies) at Gajendra Circle(All you junta coming down for interviews this year, get into the campus bus and get down at Gajendra Circle or GC as they call it!
Having got down, asked for direction and sure enough, we saw the DoMS board at the GC itself on the left lane. Started walking towards it. Two striking things about the department from outside. The big tree in between the lawn and the CCD outlet( computers and compact disk outlet :P). Just Kidding da! The Cafe Coffee Day outlet it was!!!.....
The inside view of dept was very spacious and sure enough, we were ushered to the registration desk by some seniors. Having registered ourselves, we sat down and started observing the place. We saw a board where students have written feedback about their interview experience and I was jobless enough then to read the whole board. Everybody mentioned the HoD L.S.Ganesh's name and thanked him for the experience. i brushed it off as people maska marofying to the profs :P.... Many said it was thoroughly enjoyable experience!!! Is this a roller coaster ride or water sport!! How can an Interview be enjoyable I say!!! Perplexed I was!... many thanked the seniors for their help which I found quite an honest remark since the seniors did help us by answering our umpteen number of queries ranging from forms to GDs to previous interview questions :)
There was an introduction about the department by the seniors and they clarified the concerns that were raised. The HoD, Prof. L.S.Ganesh spoke for a while and wished us all the very best for our interviews.
I was slotted with a group of 12 people and given the group task. A GT is unlike a GD where people fight. In fact, my group didnt even fight for opportunity, everyone was given a chance to speak. And the few who didnt, the professors asked them to have their say towards the end of the GT. Haan Haan! pata hai ki maine ab tak GT topic nahi batayi! :P....I thought people are engrossed enough to not notice :P..... Anyway my topic was "You are a bunch of managers for a mall. There are many people who visit the mall and window shop or return back without buying anything. You are here suggesting various possibilities and strategies to turn these window shoppers into buying customers." I dont remember who started the GT but someone set the context properly by saying that lets identify potential reasons why people wont buy and address them individually. I dont rem all the points mentioned but I sure do remember my points :P My inputs were
I came out to find yashu also done with his GT. We sat down and waited for chance to be called for the interview :). I was the first one to go in my Panel! :(....I was petty nervous but Mayank Batra(the senior who was handling our group) asked me to be cool and confident for the interview. He said "The professors are very friendly. They wont make you nervous and wont bother you too much. Just be yourself." I was still nervous and sat at the office waiting for the Profs to call me in. 15mins....20mins....30mins....I was outside and I didnt know what was goin on inside. Mayank told me that a German delegate was here to visit the HoD Mr. Ganesh and hence I have to wait for a little more time. I waited and finally after 40mins, I was called in :).
The professors asked me to sit down. LSG and one other professor on the panel. After I said Good Morning, both the professors apologised to me!!!! Sorry for keeping you waiting. It was an emergency. Man!!! Who would say sorry to just another student at their dept to take an interview! i said its okay and then LSG said "you have waited for quite sometime, isin't it?" and gave a smile. All my nervousness went down the drain! His face was so peaceful and I was so comfortable by then :). Now for the Interview Questions:
I went to the feedback board and gave my feedback. Your professors rock and I love the experience. It might sound cliche but I am sure many of you would write the same when you come over for the interview! I waited for Yashu to come back from his interview and finally he was back! He was all smiling and said "Went well! how about yours?". "Same here!!!"
We grabbed some tea and snacks that were provided and sat down to discuss the questions asked. He had two profs on his panel, one of them being Dr.Ashwin Mahalingam. For those of you less informed, he is a US returned Ph.D who is with civil dept as faculty adviser. Yashu's interview revolved around chess and its intricacies. Even some concept of chess like check mate and all were asked. So all of you who wrote your hobbies without thinking, start thinking now :P. There will be questions on it! Since Yashu was a fresher, he had questions on his engineering subjects.
Yashu gave his feedback now. "Ossum experience!" "Thanks to seniors!". We walked out of the campus and took the bus to the gate. Took some rtc bus which the seniors had suggested to take to avoid chennai autowallahs!. After going back,had am amazing "Idiyappam and Kerala Chicken" combo at one of the hotels near our guest house. Then packed our luggage and left for Hyderabad!
And the post ends here. Hope this post helps all of those prospective students who want the seniors to narrate their experiences. Good Luck to the ones who will be shortlisted for the interview!

I dont remember who started the GT but someone set the context properly by saying that lets identify potential reasons why people wont buy and address them individually. I dont rem all the points mentioned but I sure do remember my points :P My inputs were
- Women who come with kids have tough time handling them and generally dont complete their shopping if the child gets unmanageable. Hence I suggested opening up a small play area where two nannys can take care of kids while moms shop peacefully.
- I suggested appointment of women helpers for sections like cosmetics, clothes and jewelry since its easier for many women to communicate better with women sales person.
- Someone suggested coffee and eatery outlets where people can stand and eat with only one or two tables to sit. This would reduce time spent by people in sitting and chatting away and would encourage them to explore the whole shop.
- Someone talked about running user group specific sales promotions to encourage impulsive buying.
- Someone talked about installing sound systems inside the mall for announcing various offers running at various outlets and make the customers aware of them.

All my nervousness went down the drain! His face was so peaceful and I was so comfortable by then :). Now for the Interview Questions:
- Sahithi, Tell me something about yourself? I have rattofied this answer for so many times and even repeated it for atleast 2 interview of mine. There I go again with my blah blah blah introduction.
- Sahithi, You have left your job in 2007! you have one year of experience then, right? Yes sir. What did you do for the next one year? I studied for Cat and other mgmt exams. Why did you resign so early? Gave a proper explanation about how there was dependency in my project and I had to leave then or in Feb, 2008. So I choose July,2007.
- You have written quite a lot in your achievements. Quote one experience which is very imporant to you and why? I quoted my 11th and 12th experience in hostel since I was all by myself and learnt being independent and became emotionally stronger and so on.
- LSG asks "Sahithi, you score is really good but why is your Quant so bad? Did you find it tough?" No sir. I didnt have enough time towards the end and couldn't do justice to quant. I really regret that. LSG says " I was the one who set your quant paper this time and the general trend has been a low score in quant. Just wanted to know the reasons."
- Can you talk about the kind of work you did in Infosys? I told about my project and responsibilities. Some more questions followed on it.
- There was one question on my hobbies that I cant recollect right now. I think it was about why I discontinued my music practice after 10th.
- What other calls do you have? All IITs and IISc. What if you convert IITB and IITM? Which one would you take? I cant comment without getting sir. Just tell us what you would do? I would consult my parents before my final decision since they want me to stay down south if possible. Hence, even if its IITB, for me IITM would come first if my parents want me to stay south. Hmmmm, okay we buy that!
I went to the feedback board and gave my feedback. Your professors rock and I love the experience. It might sound cliche but I am sure many of you would write the same when you come over for the interview! I waited for Yashu to come back from his interview and finally he was back!

Why people HATE me! :D
Today, a discussion with few of my friends in mess sparked off a new thought in my mind. Why don't I pen down what many of my friends, family and relatives hate me for?!! Well, without much delay, here comes the sooooper list.....Btw hate here is for my behavior or traits and not me itself
1. I am toooo Loud(pitch wise loud and not otherwise) and many of my friends hate me for that. I can see Shruthi already closing her ears and saying "Rama Rama". My voice pitch is high and somehow I am not able to bring it down. I know its not Impossible :P but Hard it is :(
2. I Eat too much when I go out and I always ask for stuff that are new on menu. Not many were pissed by this but I know quite a few who dont like it.
3. I always feel too cold at any place and very rarely switch on fan or A/C. This is one thing my family also hates me for, since I always cover myself in blankets at home, even in drawing hall complaing that fan air is too cold :P
4. I have an extraordinary streak of patronage for people from Hyderabad. They should exhibit typical characteristics of a hyderabadi for that and all non-hyderabadis dont always encourage that from me.
5. I hate the auto wallas in Hyderabad and argue till eternity with them for that extra rupee that they demand for no reason. I am considerate when they are nice and provide reasons. Else the auto fellows are dead meat! My dad even now hates me for the arguments I pick up with autowallas. 'Throw a stone in mud and ur the one to get splashed with mud' is his funda :P. In telugu, there is saying that goes like ' Adusu Tokkanela Kaalu Kadaganela'( why step in the mud? why wash ur feet?)
6. Some people that I know of were even pissed by the amount of talking I do :D....Well, I do agree that I talk too much soemtimes but yeh India hai yaar aur mein mauna vrath mein bhi nahi maanti :P
7. Unanimously, all the people that I know of till now have hated one thing about me and that is my Hand Writing :). i was the only one who got 'Improve your hand writing' even in engineering mid term papers!!... and you thot engineering is time pass and profs dont comment on papers, right :P
8. Most of my friends are annoyed by the amount of nail cutting I do. yeh toh achhi baat hai is what you wud think instantly! Well, I do cut my nails but with my teeth u see. Well, I know its a bad habit and I shouldnt be doing it. Abey oooo! havent you heard the saying "Old Habits die Hard" :D
9. Few of my very close friends and mom hate me for shouting on them due to excessive emotional instability condition. Well, kabhi kabhi ho jata hai. Aaakhir hum bhi salt and pepper khaakhe bade hue hai!
10. Few of my friends hate me for the over optimism that I exhibit sometimes. Its not like I am optimistic all the time and in fact, i am quite pessimistic regarding few things.
11. Some of my friends hate me for I am afraid of ghosts and devils. Well, i dont exactly believe in them but after seeing Ram Gopal Verma's Bhoot, I couldnt look into mirrors, go to no light rooms for many days. You can say I am an easily scared person. Well, I can hear few of you already muttering to yourself that I am Scary as well :P
12. My Mom hates me for not taking head bath regularly. Finally, one thing that I have worked on and now follow religiously :D
Well, there might be many more that people hate me for that I cant think of right now. Anybody is welcome to post anonymous posts about wat u hate in me. I really wouldnt mind. he he. Also my friends are requested to add to the list through their comments.
and Cmon junta, its once in a lifetime that you get to do Buraai of someone and be rewarded for it. The Most Insightful Hate Reason gets a cash prize of 100 bucks from me :P....Well, I mean it :D
Sayonara!

My Shopping and Me
Strict Warning:
If You have read my blog and like something in it, have the guts to comment or compliment....dont read and leave blatantly....and dont u dare come up to me sometime later and say so and so post of mine was nice....If u like it.....just leave a comment....makes me feel nice that ppl do read the no sense and non sense stuff that I write! :P....Anyway I just wanted to see how many ppl on an average are jobless....hence ur comment wud mark ur place in that sample :D....Comment at your OWN RISK!
I am currently reading a book called “Shopaholic takes Manhattan”. Man this book is soooooooooo awesome n hilarious!.....Sumps up any woman’s shopping experiences and more. Then I went into flash back about my shopping experiences. Will try to sum up most of my experiences including the most recent ones :D…..btw the series of books by Sophie Kinsella on the shopaholic experiences are just awesome....a must read for most of the women out there :)
While writing this post, I have already started thinking like the protagonist of the book I am readin(Miss. Becky Bloomwood). I shall name many brands that I bought in my shopping and ask those people to pay me up since I am doing some great PR work for them through my blog :D….Its is however a different story that there might be many who would want to pay me for not quoting their brand in my blog because of the talent I have in mishandling them :P…….
My most recent shopping experience has been nothing short of a disaster……..Gift for two of my friend’s was what was on my mind when I went shopping (btw forgot to give a general disclaimer….I might spice up the content of this post just to make it readable n hilarious….dont believe that every word of what I said to be true)……..yeah so where was I?....Gift for two of my friends….Went to Abids with one of my friends (to a place called Methodist complex, Girl friend is the shop name, I actually stopped at the complex name but then who would I demand a cheque from, for doing PR work then!....hence the name of the shop too :P….smart thinking haaan!)…..The guy told me last week that their new stock would arrive on Monday and hence I barged right into the shop and asked him to start showing the new ones……well there was a power cut in the shop and somehow I felt its bad sign for shopping there :P......
Me and my friend sorted out few of the nice ones and I went to try them on since the frend I was buying it for is like me(thin n short :D)…..I didn’t stop at any top in particular but there was this gorgeous Red Top with pleats which I wore n stared at myself for a min atleast!....Man! I was in love with that top…..I come out n I say I didn’t like any of them except the red one….With very pure n loyal intentions, I buy the red top for my frend….but then I cant forget how gud it looked on me and I also rem how I have been struggling over months to get a simple red top for myself since I didn’t have that one color and so also it stopped me from making VIBGYOR(the rainbow colors) with my tshirts :P………..
I went home n tried it on once again and my mom n sis loved it……and then I decided to retain it for myself n buy another one for my friend…..after all it’s a gift and I don’t think my frend likes red as much as I do :P……..well reminds me of a beautiful song that fits perfectly here…….
Hum ne vo kya dekha jo kaha deevana
Hum ko nahin kuchh samajh zara samajhana
Shopping hamein kis mod pe le aaya
Ke dil kare haye, koi to bataye, kya hoga
Aakhir kya thi aisi bhi majaboori
Mil gaye so many things ab bhi kyon hai ye majboori
Are, dam(to be read as daam) hai to unase chheen ke le aayenge
Di na ghar vaalon ne agar manzoori
Shopping hamein kis mod pe le aaya
Ke dil kare haye, koi to bataye, kya hoga.....
I rem this shopping experience that I had the last time I came home…….I had to shop for a trousers for one of my frend…..I went around all of central and lifestyle buildings stopping at every shelf looking at the piles of clothes which never seemed to end….I bought myself a nice brown top from D&G and a cream caudroy trousers from SRC…..and happily walked out to the Tibbs Frankie counter outside lifestyle building……….My frend who I went shopping for called up and I started all excitedly about my great shopping n how I loved the kurthi in white and how I couldn’t dare to buy it since I already have enough of them and don’t need any more in my current wardrobe…..and in the end my sweet frend asked me about the trousers…..”Oh yeah! Now I remember why I was here!....Well I did go back but I couldn’t find what I came looking for….No wonder I am one of those types who my marketing prof would classify as………No reason to Try….Some reason to Buy…..and then money ko bolo Gud Bye :P……
Honestly, I never thought I spend so much on clothes but when I look at my wardrobe, I do realize I waste so much on clothes and some of them are even not worth it!.....few of my clothes in Chennai have been eaten my termites( I think its termites but I am not exactly sure what they are)….and I don’t feel so sorry about it…..I feel rather happy to wear them off a few more times n say tata tata bye bye to them than keep them with me forever and not wear them…….I am not a shopaholic toh…..I am very sharp and controlled when it comes to spending…..and that is one reason why I owe 700 bucks to my frend for I took money from him to shop for him but then spent them off on myself :P……somehow I have this feeling that “Everything in India runs on credit so why not my shopping!”…..however one of the wisest decisions in my life is to not a take a credit card…..I know how lazy I am and how I have stopped myself from buying so many things because I don’t have ready cash then n there and ATM in not anywhere around….Yes! Convenience is not my cup of tea when it comes to shopping………
Many of my friends wud say I don’t splurge or extravagantly indulge in anything but I always get off the track when I am shopping….I sometimes achieve what I wanted to and some more and sometimes I achieve anything but what I planned……..Sometimes I seriously doubt if my interest in marketing is out of this stupid instinct of shopping that I have in me……marketing reminds me of a TOMA(top fo the mind brand...the brand which first strikes ur mind when I say the following products) exercise me and my MBA frends did in class since I was feeling drowsy(btw this is an illegal exercise carried out by me to shooo away my sleep for a while....to be tried under strict supervision and under drowsy conditions by sleepy heads like me :P)…..TOMA brands for various categories……for me of course!

There are many more that can be quoted but time and space constraint….some how this blog didn’t turn up the way I planned it…..never mind….Its something I wanted to do right now n now its done…...May all the shops rest in peace!.....since I am done Shopping and Talking for this season :P.....
If You have read my blog and like something in it, have the guts to comment or compliment....dont read and leave blatantly....and dont u dare come up to me sometime later and say so and so post of mine was nice....If u like it.....just leave a comment....makes me feel nice that ppl do read the no sense and non sense stuff that I write! :P....Anyway I just wanted to see how many ppl on an average are jobless....hence ur comment wud mark ur place in that sample :D....Comment at your OWN RISK!
I am currently reading a book called “Shopaholic takes Manhattan”. Man this book is soooooooooo awesome n hilarious!.....Sumps up any woman’s shopping experiences and more. Then I went into flash back about my shopping experiences. Will try to sum up most of my experiences including the most recent ones :D…..btw the series of books by Sophie Kinsella on the shopaholic experiences are just awesome....a must read for most of the women out there :)
While writing this post, I have already started thinking like the protagonist of the book I am readin(Miss. Becky Bloomwood). I shall name many brands that I bought in my shopping and ask those people to pay me up since I am doing some great PR work for them through my blog :D….Its is however a different story that there might be many who would want to pay me for not quoting their brand in my blog because of the talent I have in mishandling them :P…….
My most recent shopping experience has been nothing short of a disaster……..Gift for two of my friend’s was what was on my mind when I went shopping (btw forgot to give a general disclaimer….I might spice up the content of this post just to make it readable n hilarious….dont believe that every word of what I said to be true)……..yeah so where was I?....Gift for two of my friends….Went to Abids with one of my friends (to a place called Methodist complex, Girl friend is the shop name, I actually stopped at the complex name but then who would I demand a cheque from, for doing PR work then!....hence the name of the shop too :P….smart thinking haaan!)…..The guy told me last week that their new stock would arrive on Monday and hence I barged right into the shop and asked him to start showing the new ones……well there was a power cut in the shop and somehow I felt its bad sign for shopping there :P......
Me and my friend sorted out few of the nice ones and I went to try them on since the frend I was buying it for is like me(thin n short :D)…..I didn’t stop at any top in particular but there was this gorgeous Red Top with pleats which I wore n stared at myself for a min atleast!....Man! I was in love with that top…..I come out n I say I didn’t like any of them except the red one….With very pure n loyal intentions, I buy the red top for my frend….but then I cant forget how gud it looked on me and I also rem how I have been struggling over months to get a simple red top for myself since I didn’t have that one color and so also it stopped me from making VIBGYOR(the rainbow colors) with my tshirts :P………..
I went home n tried it on once again and my mom n sis loved it……and then I decided to retain it for myself n buy another one for my friend…..after all it’s a gift and I don’t think my frend likes red as much as I do :P……..well reminds me of a beautiful song that fits perfectly here…….

Organisational Behaviour (OB) ki Diwani!
I would like to start and also end this post with songs!
Ishq junoon jab hadh se badh jaaye (when the intensity of love for something crosses boundaries)
Haste haste aashiq suli chadh jaaye( the lover smiles and heads for the gallows)
Ishq ka jaadu sara chadha kara bole (the magic of Love gets into head and says)
Khoob laga lo pehre raste rab khole( take many rounds around, and then god opens ways)
Yahi ishq di marzi hain( this is love’s will and wish)
Yahi rab di marzi hain( this is god’s will and wish)
He he petty much sums up my love for OB!....now comes the other side of it.
IITM First Quarter First Grades given out!.... and yeah I get a “B” there. To my non MBA friends, a “B” grade comes after “S” and “A” (in the same order)….. Now I know OB is one subject I have put my heart and soul into when I studied it. I felt Bad. I felt Miserable. However I started thinking. Why did this happen. I could come up so many faltoo reasons on my part like my first two quizzes which were miserable due to my misunderstanding of the course and which actually helped me get the right orientation and interest in the subject later on. I can push it off on my group tasks and say someone else ruined it for me[:P] which wont change anything for me :D…..
But on a deeper note, I always believed in two things…..
1. When something good or bad has to happen, nothing can stop it from happening independent of whether you want it or not.
2. God doesn’t give everything to everyone. When he gives something somewhere to u, he is bound to cut something else somewhere. There is always a balance between your Have(s) and Have not(s). This is what they teach you in Financial Accouting too [:P]
Now when I started thinking why did I just lose out on my grade by one point( I lost an A by one mark, yeah yeah it’s the same one mark funda that you all guys must have seen in your lives too :D)
I still remember me getting the school first by just one mark in 10th and winning some cash prize for it. The guy who scored just one mark below me is my close friend and he felt miserable!! Well, I didn’t complain then [:P]…..
I got thru the Summers process quite easily (which I believe is partly my preparation but mostly just got lucky since they asked stuff that I exactly knew)…. Well, I never complained then!
All nice things happening in my life right now and I am actually loving every moment in this college and just living my life. And no, I didn’t complain!
When God has given me so many nice things at one go, he is bound to cut some wires!...Well OB is the first wire[:P]…. Did he actually do this to hurt me!....Naaah!.... he is showing about how he has given me so many gud things and its time for him to do some cost cutting[:P]….
However the good part is, not just to me but to all those who just got there to the border and could not make it, Look Out!.... The other grades might just take you to places where u never thought you could be (I meant the positive way duds!!)….
You might say this girl is too optimistic and I don’t care. I am frustrated and angry is what you might say. Just sit and think. Did something really gud or nice happen to you in the recent past that you know is something that others didn’t get!....if you don’t have something like that yet, don’t complain re![:D]……Picture Abhi Baaki Hai Mere Dost!....In short, the future isint here yet!....Just wait and watch…. You wil gain an edge over people at instants in your life which will be ever cherished. Exams and grades like this wil be brooded over but will be forgotten….
Your mind is like an array with fixed memory. Once a fresh good memory comes in, a bad memory has to move out to accommodate the gud one. Which one you choose to move out depends on the priority you attach to it. And finally a day wil be come when you have too many gud memories that the bad memories don’t have much place to occupy!....this is true and you will see it happen to you sometime [:D]…at least it happened with me….and then when you actually don’t see it, God has his ways of showing it to you thru disasters like OB Grades[:D]….now you
know you have so many gud memories that you don’t think of quite often but once a bad memory pops in, you see it all[:P]….
Anyway no more bhaashan on this, all I can say is. Grades do Matter but not as much as YOU matter!.... I love myself and hope the same with you too!.... never give up is the key[:D](yeah an old dialogue but yaha pe koi aur line ja nahi raha tha :))…..
Would like to conclude this weird post of mine which has actually made me feel so nice about myself now with another song from telugu….its been translated for the benefit of my non-telugu friends[:D]
Right o Left o Right o Left o
Mundukko( Forward) Venakkako( Backward)
Paipaikko( Up and up) Kindakko( Down)
Asalu endukko( Why is it so?) Ekkadiko( Where is it to?)
Just Go… Go… Go… Go… Go…
Last but not the least, Nike says “Just Do It” and I say “I Just Did It”….thru this post….. I did a great deal of good to myself and hopefully to some other who are still patiently reading this piece of crap with great concentration!...
There might be people who are still taking their time to come out of the disaster….its fine to brood actually….but rem tht something gud is on its way already!
Cheers!

Musings of Monkey!
With so many monkeys visiting our rooms on a daily basis, i cant ignore them anymore.
yesterday there was a monkey at my window. It started making simple random chatter noises n goin up n down the window to scare me...i camly sat on my bed and browsed on my lappy....
The post wil be in Hyderabadi Hindi to give it an added flavour!
Monkey's Mind: " Arre kya yaaron!....yeh potti ko daar nai hora....ab mein kya karoon re!.... woh table pe pada hua biscuit packet dede na!.... agar mein aisae-ich karta gaya toh woh bilkul ignore kaerlegi re!....kuch soch re yaroon....kya karooooon!"
It makes some more wierd noise n settles down on the window sill n sleeeeeps!!!!!!
Me in my Mind: "Arre this monkey also no....why is it not going...mereko sab maloom hai...woh mereko darane ke liye-ich aise karri hai....mein kaiko darooon....mereko strong hona padega re....
the monkey leaves the window n i shut the window....
Scene behind the curtains:
the monkey's name is chimpu.... chimpu is give "E" grade in basic food grabbing fundae subject by his sir.....chimpu is dissapointed.....toi toi toi...flash back now.....
scene just 5 mins before this: chimpu's mom puts tilak on chimpu's forehead n says "jaa beta apni khandan ki naam roshan karde".....
chimpu's classmates in the school: arre chimpu, yeh dekh....food grabbing fundae mein best is to work out and become a strong monkey n attack open rooms...ur sure of gettign hold of soemthing thru this.....
chimpu: arre nahi yaar...i thot out of box n decided to give this a try...i will play on window sill n scare the girl...she might throw some food or out of pity gimme some...this is my strategy....this shall work....im high on innovation...the regular theory solutions dont work for me!
just before the exam: (his frends): chimpu!! chimpu!!....cmon chimpu....ur setting a new fundae in food grabbing through this.....hope u get thru....
and the rest is history....chimpu laments over the failure of his strategy....he didnt know ehere he went wrong....he tried analysing his strategy once again...it was simple one...the girl shud gte scared or pity me n give food...why didnt it work!....
it didnt work coz it coundnt see some hidden n missing varibles like the girl's strength n boldness[:P].....there was too much dependency on external factors and too little reliance on internal factors and hence failed....also the data sample of the girl taken out of the fearful girls population was an outlier....also chimpu didnt realise that the girl is not liable to give a biscuit packet unless chimpu gave one earlier[:P] and also the packet wasnt her asset as she took it from her friends room.....So also the demand for the biscuit packet was high as all her frends wanted one and the current supply was not at the equlibrium point n hence there was already a shortage of biscuits......last but not the least....the monkey coudnt create an impression in the girl's mind about its purpose and hence the result is a failure..... toh monkeys are branded as a fear factor among girls hostel, the target penetration this time wasnt upto the mark!......
having realised the various reasons for its failures....its decided to work on
1. problem identification and description and various entities involved..... try to draw a fish bone if necessary!
2. look at its hierarchy of needs and chuck maslow and see if ERG theory can help it since phychological needs are anyway not fulfilled..... also frustration-aggression working on....the frustration on not being able to satisfy lower needs leads to agressively trying to satisfy higher needs!
3. realise that the world is full of interconnectivity and its supply of biscuits depends on the demand for it among girls and her frends and so also on the personality attributes of the girl.....
4. it realised that their major strength of creating fear among the girls is lost and they became an ineffective brand now....it has decided to go for relauching or repositioning itself as a friendly monkey from next time[:p]
5. It also decided to take a better sample next time and visit some other room who is a better representative of the feaful girls sample.....
6. last but not the least.... it decided to calculate its position of its assets of biscuits received so far and see whether any immediate need for food grabbing arises and also note down the expenses incurred in reaching the girls window so far....the expenses like kicking off its costly reebok shoes into the gutter while climbing is taken as unexpected loss and it also pulled down another monkey coming to the same window....tht monkey might take revenge in future which it put up as a "Bad Will" on the liability side since its prone to attack from tht other monkey sometime!....
That is it folks.....Im done for today...wil edit once i find some comments!...feel free to post any comments :D.....

Chick Chick Chickens-Part 2
The customer who came to take chicken from the old butcher is actually a CBI officer who is there to investigate the murder mystery of mangamma who was allegedly killed by her husband Mangayya for money that she saved since years to cook chicken for herself.....
CBI officer to himself:
This chikki story sounds much more interesting to deal with..... I will make sure i investigate this case side by side n earn some recognition at higher officials.....
Chikki's dad sends the customer away and asks her daughter how she understood the chicken language..... Chikki convinced her dad that she had some supernatural powers that made her understand the language..... Her dad was all pissed that his daughter wont let him do his business n sends her home.....Chikki starts thinking about her powers and how best she can help man kind with it.... then struck the IDEA(it can change her life for ever u know[;)]).....
She decided to open a chicken language teaching classes for kids and adults who are interested in learning it.... She confessed her idea to her mom who blatantly abandoned the idea.....but chikki was adamant....it was her idea n she was goin to execute it..... That is how the "CHIKKI and CHICKENS" language center started..... she teamed up with the boy next door who was a gem at spreading word around the streets..... they even designed a ad campaign and TV ad that goes like....
"There are voices in my head that tell me every time a chicken pass me by.....that I can comprehend the noise and we can stop chukungunya anywhere"..... and then the caption comes up as..... "Now anybody can learn HENNKO(official chicken laguage)(spelled as Hen n Co) "
Chikki ahd her next door frend Puchhu do lot of research and find out that chicken vendors staying near by are not interested since they believe it hampers their trading skills if they can understand what the chicken talk about.... Many school kids turn up for it just coz they have nothing else to do in the evenings.... Few house wives join up too after seeing the AD on TV.....Thus started chikki and her HENNKO classes which were a huge success since every day a class fellow bout a new chicken and they tried comprehending its language..... Puchhu suggested that they develop some hearing tools that can aid people to take classes from home n chikki implements it successfully.... Day by day, she starts making profits that noone cud ever dream of since many people start enrolling thru word of mouth advertising and also coz chikki is a great instructor.... She is a child prodigy in the making.....
One day chikki's mom was reluctantly counting the money made and was awestruck seeing the money that her daughter made thru teaching HENNKO..... She joined hands with her daughter who is 12 years old now and her CHIKKI and CHICKENS has been running successfully for over two years.... One day chikki was looking thru the news paper and saw that many people in Korea died of chukungunya..... Chikki went into deep thot as to how to help the people in other nations..... her motive wasnt money n profits anyday.... After a brief discussion with Puchhu, her company partner....they decided to outsource their HENNKO e-learning tool to korea and other countries who want to buy it.... They publish their product on Ad-Words and many countries and companies come forward to buy their product and to acquire its patent rights.... She sells off her product and the whole of HENNKO rights to "Boogle".... an emerging search engine which was entering into product marketing with HENNKO.....
Chikki became a millionaire in no time and even received an invite to record for Oprah Winfrey show as well..... this was a great moment in chikki's life..... she was 23....(yeah 11 years later it is man)..... the Oprah show went on well with many chikki admirers and students from all over the world attending the show n praising her.... the summary of the show....
Oprah:
Chikki....welcome to the show.... lets quickly get to the story....how did all this start....i mean how can a human understand wat chickens talk....
Chikki:
Well, it all started when i was in my home town(hyd in India) and working with my dada at his shop.... It was not instinctive....one of my recurring dream is that I went to charminar and bout rice bags from there....I know its wierd but this was a persistent dream when i was a child....
Oprah:
That is interesting chikki.....do u get that dream even now.... Is it so imp a dream to share with all of us.....
Chikki:
yes it is..... Even after so many years of struggle and success, there is soemthign missing....I find myself void n disturbed most of the times.... I think its because of this dream.....
Oprah:
well chikki, we have a surprise for you.... Please come with me....
Oprah leads chikki to a personalized aircraft of hers.... The crowd follows and cheer chikki as she waves to them before getting into the aircraft......chikki gets in reluctantly and then Oprah lets the camera man in and informs the cabin crew to take them to India and to Hyd and to Charminar..... Its one of the fastest planes u can ever imagine and they land in Hyd gachbowli helipad and leave in a Honda Civic to charminar.... They reach charminar in about 20mins using the express highway built from gachbowli that leads to masab tank.....
Chikki is totally speechless.....there she was....at the place of her dreams....she never thot she would visit this place with Oprah....They go and buy rice bags from a merchant and chikki bargains when it comes to paying since she doesn't want to exploit the hospitality of Oprah.... Chikki is beaming and floating in teh air....her wildest dreams have been fulfilled.... That is wat Oprah show is know for..... She thanks Oprah profusely and buys her a pair of Kudan embedded bangles set as token of gratitude....
(pssssttt!!....everyone here might think why chikki hasn't gone to charminar in her 23 years of stay at hyd.... Sometimes it happens yaa....I have been stayin in Hyd for the past 23 years but have never been to Ramoji Film City.... It can happen[:P])
Back in Studio.... Chikki once again thanks Oprah for what she did and concludes the show by revealing the launch of her new company named "Chikki's Chickens" which will operate from India but will have overseas branches in New York, Chicago and California..... The tag lines of the company are.... "Talk Eat and Save yourself".... "You never know when you might turn vegetarian....Play safe...Learn Hennko"...... A budding entrepreneur on her way I tell you.... Wish her good luck and for any other info related to her... You can contact me in person[:P]
Hmmmm finally one word before I leave n sign off for the day.....
Every story has a Happy Ending... if its not Happy....then its not the End"

Guys and their Desperation
Pre Post Script: Desperation is superlative of the word desperate[:P]
Motivation for this post:
I saw a post by mercurialmind titled "What not to do when you are desperate about having a girl friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!". A perfect post which reminded me of my close friend "V" from school and his toota poota love stories(or desperate encounters rather).....which range from school to college to work place to trains and movie halls!
http://mercurial-mind.blogspot.com
/2007/11/what-not-to-do-when-you-are-desperate.html
Warning:
Content of this post may be manipulated and exaggerated to create curiosity and add masala to the post....how ever the story is a real one.....
"The Insane Encounters and Dirty Desperations"
My friend "V" suffers from inferiority complex that girls can never find him great!...Dunno exactly from which age it started.....
However time mite not permit to elaborate all his encounters but I shall put forth one of his most recent ones....
Train from Pune to Hyderabad:
"V" is all set to reach his home town n is desperately looking at the reservation chart to see if there is a girl on any berth near by..... Luck favors him most of the time but destiny ruins it for him[:D]
He sat down and a little while later, there was indeed a girl in front of his berth....excited....energized and optimistic my friend became....everybody around in the compartment were discussing some "current affairs" and my great friend also joins in a while.... the girl is seen handling all the men and their flirting very well and "V" is impressed with her....waaah kya reason hai[:P]....
Now....everybody else is asleep and this idiot puts all the effort to get the top berth to be adjacent to her berth!....everybody is asleep is what he thot so...the girl started taking...what do u do and where do stay n other very imp questions[;)].... No its not "are u on orkut" "give me ur mail id"..... The girl(oh yes the girl it is) asked him for his mobile number....c'mon all u guys reading this post....the first things u shall say is....c'mon he is bluffing or ur lying.....don't be jealous.... be calm n accept reality[:P].....Numbers exchanged and talks continued...for something abt 5 hours.....
My friend "V" is here to prep for CAT for the last two weeks since he is unable to get the flow n concentration in pune.....so he is all worried(or rather cursing his luck) that this girl happened at the wrong moment.... she called n he spoke for an hour or so....she met him and they planned movie....it flopped since her close friend got stuck with some problem n she had to leave....yes, they met again n again....nothing much happened.... After few days "V" stopped taking her calls....cut her calls or phone on silent....and final stage 'switched off' too!!....."she is a psycho" "she expects me to talk for hours like I have no other work" "She is mad woman n expects me to meet her everyday!"
One fine day,then went to some unusual place to eat and "V" hated her attitude and her extra flirting(as he calls it).... but she was good company for she blabbered for hours together....neither of them said anything...CAT was coming closer...just a week left and "V" completely avoided her calls talks and everything to concentrate on his exam better....one things that "V" could not digest is the fact that the girl did not know what CAT and IIMs are!!.....Exam went fine and girl went out of his mind.... IIM cut offs cleared and girl completely cut out from his life!!....
Now now, how many of you thought this is a very unfair story or sad ending.... I assure you that this friend of mine is desperate about girls beyond bounds and it just not possible that he let goes any girl that comes his way....he terms his poor handling to being a looser and not able to make most out of his luck....
Well I beg to differ toh...Having know him for years and still not able to comprehend him completely....he is anything but looser and lucky[;D]....For him, a girl who he can easily get to is a strict no-no....he always let go girls who easily gave in for him!!.... He tries hard to get to know all the beautiful pune girls and even gets close to most of them...but never moves an inch beyond that despoism(another synonym for strong desperateness)..... Something is terribly right about him sometimes for he lets go all of them without second thoughts!....
Point is most of the guys(most of them I tell you)(Most of them here implies most of the men I know of and not generalized stmnt[;)])........ get desperate and even try hard to get closer at diff levels with girls.....from common frend to frend to close frend to best frend to bf to husband.....but their ego rules..... their principles matter....they have some ethics and morals at some level of their despoism....and that drive sense into them at some point when they are not blind anymore!!
I will edit this post once again....some urgent work...posting it for basic comments n reviews!!....

Chick Chick Chickens!
This is the story of a chicken called chikki who is in a cage at the chicken shop near my house...
(The word chicken has been deliberately used in place of hen all thru the post for my own satisfaction)
Motivation for the musings:
Every day I walk past the butcher's shop near the bus stop at ramnagar. I see the chickens making hell lot of noise when the butcher is trying to get hold of them....other wise they are calm n serene....like the ocean which has so many violent things going on inside.... my attempt is to explore the chicken's side of story.....
story:
Chikki as a baby:
Mommy why is tht we are being fed good food but restricted to cages?....why is it tht i cant be independent like the other hens and eat food available on roads n farms....
Chikki's Mom: no my dear daughter....we are born with a purpose....to serve man kind with chicken delicacies and eggs for the omelette which helps all the bachelor boys n girls to have a proper meal.... we arent like any other chicken....we are the army chicken....we lay our lives in front of the humans when times comes to sacrifice our lives.... we serve the purpose of biological cycle and we should respect it....
Chikki: But mommy....didn't daddy loose his life like this...didnt tht old bald head man kill him in front of us....do we have to see our family die!!....how fair is it for god?.... I dont want to be in the cage...i want a free life n roam around the city...I wanna see charminar and eat grains on the road....Its my life time wish.... I will do it mommy.,..I will do it!
Chikki Mom:(wiping a tear from her eye).... Tu bilkul apne baap pe gaya hai!.... feel happy tht we are born for a purpose and we are serving it....Many humans out there still dunno their purpose of life n keep reading books on philosophy to know their purpose.... our lives are much simpler beta.....
Chikki: To hell with mommy and her old ways of thinking....this old baldy will have a hell of time killing me....I should not be any other chicken in his shop....I am special.... and I will prove it....
One day later:
The butcher gets a big deal for a birthday party and plans to kill around 10 chicken for it.... fortunate or unfortunate....chikki(tho young) is chosen along with her mom and few of her family members....they are all shifted to a new cage n dumped into a truck.....Chikki is all excited with this change in her routine n boring life....but chikki's mom starts praying and chants some vedic mantras....
Chikki: Mom what are u recanting?
Chikki's Mom: Beta, I am doin some meditation and yoga to ease me of pain and suffering when I die.... U shud also do it....our end is near....we will all die in a while....(wipes a tear from her eye)
The butcher comes to the birthday bash and his brother-in-law who runs a catering service is seen there.... he hands over the chickens to the caterer and runs along on his way since his beautiful wife is pregnant with a baby girl[oh are u already getting to where I am getting]....(btw scanning in illegal in India so it cannot be said tht its a baby girl before she is born.... but the family wanted a girl...yes yes they are revolutionary parents who want girl instead of boy[:D])
The chicken are taken form the cage and killed one by one....since chikki is the smallest of all...the caterer kills all the other chicken and finally ends up with chikki....chikki starts fuming up with rage seeing her mother die and shouts on top of his voice...makes weird noises and flaps its little wings as hard as it can.... it tries to free itself from the caterer's hand but fails miserably at it.... The caterer sighs and wipes his sweat from the brow as he kills chikki....
In Gandhi Govt Hospital:
The butcher's wife is all sweating and finally lets out one big sigh and drops unconscious....a little while later.... the doctor is cleaning blood off a baby girl...the butcher runs in and is all happy....they look at her sharp nose like tht of a chicken and decide to name her chikki[;)].....
Now chikki grows up to be a girl with all good manners and proper education.... but she is no ordinary child....he has visions....visions tht she went to charminar and buying grains from the road side vendor!.... her parents rub it off as child fantasies but chikki knows tht its not just a dream....
As chikki grows up and becomes a 10 year old child....her dad takes her to his shop and begins on his work...the moment chikki saw the chicken struggle and whine in pain...something happens!!....she instinctively jumps with happiness and asks her dad to keep teh chickens whining for some more time....the butcher is puzzled but doesn't want to disappoint his daughter n keep playing with the chicken to make then shout n whine in pain n agony....
He then kills the chicken and starts to parcel it for a customer.... chikki stops her dad....why!!
Chikki: Dad!...this chicken had chikungunya....dont give it to customers.....
Dad: how do you know it beti?....
Chikki: I heard it talk to the other chicken....believe me daddy....lets not sell this chicken to anyone....
Customer: what is this bhayya!!....I am not taking any of this chicken with me now....ur own daughter says some shit that this chicken is not good...what kind of business do you run!!....
......(To be continued)
(The word chicken has been deliberately used in place of hen all thru the post for my own satisfaction)
Motivation for the musings:
Every day I walk past the butcher's shop near the bus stop at ramnagar. I see the chickens making hell lot of noise when the butcher is trying to get hold of them....other wise they are calm n serene....like the ocean which has so many violent things going on inside.... my attempt is to explore the chicken's side of story.....
story:
Chikki as a baby:
Mommy why is tht we are being fed good food but restricted to cages?....why is it tht i cant be independent like the other hens and eat food available on roads n farms....
Chikki's Mom: no my dear daughter....we are born with a purpose....to serve man kind with chicken delicacies and eggs for the omelette which helps all the bachelor boys n girls to have a proper meal.... we arent like any other chicken....we are the army chicken....we lay our lives in front of the humans when times comes to sacrifice our lives.... we serve the purpose of biological cycle and we should respect it....
Chikki: But mommy....didn't daddy loose his life like this...didnt tht old bald head man kill him in front of us....do we have to see our family die!!....how fair is it for god?.... I dont want to be in the cage...i want a free life n roam around the city...I wanna see charminar and eat grains on the road....Its my life time wish.... I will do it mommy.,..I will do it!
Chikki Mom:(wiping a tear from her eye)....

IT and Dowry- Are they Anti?
I know i came up wit a crap title looking for praaasa[:D]....
This post is about an article in Hindu by Chandra Kommera which was titled "IT revolution and declining dowry practice".(28 th October, Hyd edition, page 14)....Its an open page where people can write in and it gets published.
Major contents of article are as follow....
1. Men getting high end job....much of salary goin into savings, making them rupee millionaires in short time(how short is it anyway!....dont talk abt dollar earning junta...India ke junta ke baare mein bhi socho na!)......they are reluctant to ask/accept dowry as they do not need to care for money!!(Oh ppl who earn enuf dont worry abt money anymore!!....wat a conclusion!)....Even when parents are insisting....the youth are refusing(Not always....in 90% of cases....its the parents who ask since the guys themselves dont want it but cant "disappoint" his parents....ahaa!!....if men are strong enuf...they shud be able to convince their parents....else its the same thing....the men are asking for dowry anthey!)
2. On par with men, women are also getting highly paid jobs. This making them assert themselves are reject any marriage proposals from men who ask for dowry(Oh c'mon now....there mite be women like this but they wud actually not fit into the arranged marriage scenario....also its the women who expect money from their parents as well....in the form of property...gold and what not!!..... There are few who dont expect but most of the women do expect money from parents for their future families!)
3. Inter caste marriages....with teh advent of IT jobs...a new social class emerged who way of life is homogeneous across castes(mmmm....yeah agree to some extent....but even now caste rules the basis for many and it rings a bell for almost many pairs..... wat the author is discussing is restricted to about 5% of marriages many be).....This gave an opportunity for the youth to look beyond their caste resulting in more choices(Oh man!! I strongly believe that in arranged marriages....caste is still the major and top most criterion for selecting partners....look beyond is only for some people who fall in love or are quite liberal in their views and were able to convince their parents as well).
4. Increasing financial independence at a young age is prompting the youth to opt for love marriages rather than arranged marriages which lead to non dowry marriages (vammo!!....devudaaa!!.... this is one of the most erroneous statement in the whole article....financial independence is okay....the word "prompting" is an impromptu.....people aren't prompted to opt for love coz of financial independence....love was thr since ages....just tht they get to marry their chosen one now much easily than before due to this independence...but this is not the reason to opt for love!!..... and who said tht all love marriages are non dowry ones!!....parents still give their kids what they planned to and it cannot be called dowry since the groom or even the bride isint demanding it.....its just the parents love that is making them give wat they wanted to.....this is just one side of the coin....but true most of the times.....)
5.The girls parents are preferring a less dowry/non dowry/software engineer to IAS/IPS grooms.(now now this mite be true for various reasons....they prefer less dowry non dowry and software engineer only when the guy is settled....well to do family and all...else u look back...there are so many marriages which still have dowry going on in the background....Its a matter of pride and prestige(cooker :P)....even for the guy to flaunt how much their wives get from home..... and I agree many families are taking it the other way round...but majority still runs on this and there is no denial of it).
Over all..... I would seriously condemn the act of dowry.....but the article's conclusions are all based on the wrong reasons and I don't support it. I was surprised that a news paper like Hindu published this article without much data and facts to prove the statements that he made......Either way....gave me a chance to discuss how dowry is handled and dealt with.... I am talking from a telugu household perspective since I am form one.....If this blog content has hurt someone's sentiments or ego or morale..... Go hide in a cave[:P]..... This is my blog and i rule over here......

School Days.....Those Silly Times
It was sunday morning and me and my school frend somnath were sitting at nrupatunga degree college to write our mock cat exam and we had some more time to go....we were discussing abt sentiments during exams and that is the reason why we stuck to the same stationary we used when we got lucky in our exams..... then we went back to school days and som was asking me if i remembered how he n vamsi use to sharpen the already speck like pencils and use them....he he i rem it all too.....they even used to put pen caps onto it to gain support for their miniature art pencil pieces and write up with it....the talk ended n exam started..../yes night i was thinking about school days and then i went into splits of laughter for i cud remember so many crazy things we did in school!!....
1. I remember some pencil sharpening competition of sort that happened and ppl shapened their pencils as much as they cud n made them teh smallest ones on this earth and laid them besides each other above the green board in the classroom.....
2. I remember pavani kicking me hard on my butt for various number of times when i came to school and was placing my basket in the shelf....and one fine day, she gave that kick of hers to my innocent sis who accidentally looked like me from behind....he he
3. I remember the 9th class days when me anirudh n sandeep sat in one bench and sandeep use to fart so much that me n ani used to scold him directly for doin it since teh smell was unbearable....
4. I remember sitting besides sridhar and raghu in 9th class and used to tease sridhar for every second word that he used to say.....
5. I remember sitting in front of neeharika vamsi and pratyusha and vamsi always cracking insane out of the mind jokes on pratyusha..... whenever she used to kick him and feel that she has given him a hard kick...he used to coolly turn arnd and say" did you call me...looked like u patted on my shoulder!!"
6. I remember how we used to tease social sir in 9th class when everybody tried poking him with their dividers and that sir so engrossed in his teaching missed it all.....
7. I remember how boys used to wait for ramanamma didi's class in 10th....she was my fav teacher in school but the guys loved it for all the wrong reasons!!
8. I remember how shobha didi, our English teacher dozed off while correcting my notes in 9th class and i dared to pick up two fighting lice from her hair since i cudnt resist myself from picking them up.....
9. I remember how i used to fight with phani who used to sit in front of me in 10th for he never allowed to park my feet under his sitting bench!!.... I actually hated him le....
10. I remember how vamsi used to enlighten shivaramakrishna in 10th class, sitting in teh first bench and how they used to bend down unable to control the laughter from their own silly jokes....
11. I remember how sravanthi used to laugh away at the silliest of vamsi's jokes and gasped out of excessive laughter...she is still like tht and does it even now le[:D]....
12. I remember that silly jayashree didi making me sit with chandrika and harmeet since she dint want me and sravanthi to sit together!!.... It was still fun coz chanakya and vamsi craked the most sick jokes on naveen and me harmeet and chandrika always had our ears glued to what they were saying(even in classes).... its different that vamsi was trying to impress chandrika in the process and must say he did a gud job[:P]....

15. I remember how I.Archana once told pavani that she liked anirudh a lot coz he respects girls when they both were prefects in 10th...and yet very happily chat away with vamsi and its different that vamsi liked it[:)]....
16. I remember those exams where me n sravanthi copied papers together, specially the maths ppr where i used to pass additionals together....but it returns back to me by the end of the exam le[:D].... I always copied social pprs and map pointings which i hated to do....

I remember this vauge incident when sravanthi fout with sudha did coz she gave 5/5 to vamsi for map pointing for the really crap work of his with just a pencil while sravanthi managed a gud job with her color pencils and her work waa correct too...since i was just standing along with her when she was asking...i got a half mark too!!...tht made it 4.5 marks le....he he

I remember teh power wisdom finals for throw ball that was won by wisdom due to partiality of our games teacher to wisdom group coz her son was in that....atleast this was what was thot so among teh power grp guys and they all sat on teh steps and cried for long..... i think pavani n suddi also went for consoling them...
