CineTorture !!
Had to subject myself to the torture of going to a cinema hall and actually sitting thro’ a complete movie
..After a l000ng time indeed…..I rarely, if ever, prefer going to theatres to watch movies…and my films in theatre/year ratio usually does not get better than 10:1 …. I really donno whether it is the kinda movies that i see at theatres that has made me dislike the idea of going and watching or whether it is indeed the poor quality of films these days….yea, immediate reason for this rant is this movie…. While Full Hyd!! has always posted top class movie reviews, plz do NOT trust this particular one
…. Fairly simple formula these days….Oodles of flesh to attract youngsters and Oodles of sentiment to attract the oldies….

gl0cal w0rld indeed !!
Something that most of us had prolly gone thro’ ages ago in one of those numerous forwards we receive….But surprising fact is that it still makes sense!! In fact, one shudders to think how many more years is this gonna find its way into our inboxes !!!

A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was: “Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?” The survey was a huge failure, In Africa they didn’t know what ‘food’ meant, In India they didn’t know what ‘honest’ meant, In Europe they didn’t know what ’shortage’ meant, In China they didn’t know what ‘opinion’ meant, In the Middle East they didn’t know what ’solution’ meant, In South America they didn’t know what ‘please’ meant, And in the USA they didn’t know what ‘the rest of the world’ meant.
ps: While you are pondering over that, this article from Znet is worth giving a read….Introduces the concept of Democratic Occupation to the democratic world !!!

What time is it??
So it is……I am on my way to officially completing my MBA (err..or is gonna be PGDBA after this judgement
Or mebbe not, after this clarification….Whatever….For people that know me, they very well know that i pretty well give a damn to these claims and counter-claims…If a person starts to be defined by a piece of paper (strictly speaking wrt a post-grad degree) and not by what he/she has assimilated over the past two years, then …well….I got nothing to say !! Strange indeed are the times we live in….While we fight Govt intervention in every second thing, people start getting jittery at absence of such signs too…. :p
Anyways, time for me to sit back and reminisce abt the bygone two years?? Or time for me to think forward and try and decide what I am gonna do in the coming future !!! Time to think indeed

kNOwledge???

Done with two papers….And somehow had this urge to record my current feelings….I dont really know if this is a specific trait that i’ve been having since long….But certainly is something that I would wanna key in somewhere so i could sit back sometime in the future and wade thro’ these little-nothings
I’ve almost always performed well in the papers towards the end of a course….Now, dont mistake me when i say i perform well….. Perform well translating to having a feel-good factor. and nothin beyond that
…..Had the same feeling during my much-abused engg degree and now during MBA too…..Infact, the feeling that i finally, probably, know something is indeed gratifying to know to my inner conscience…
That I now have more global gyaan to dispense with than I had two years back….That I now more effectively decieve myself that I really know all the crap that i write in my papers…..Indeed….Education is prolly the weapon to master the art of self-deception…

phinal eggjams…..phinally
Phew………Mighty cliched as it might sound, still seems yesterday when i joined this place….And now, am standing on the edge of the MBA……Pretty fast, eh??
Exams for term V start tmrw and go on for a week……And after that the final term is only a research project which would see me more on the forum than off it
….No courses to be taken in that term…..Basically would be a chill-out period where-in i plan to take a look at what have i gained (or for that matter, lost) in these two years…..I believe, and hope, the balance is tilted in the positive side
….But more on those retrospective rantings when the time comes,…ie. when i start to retrospect
…..For now, just sitting back and let the exams take over, for one last time
BTW, Just noticed…I got tons of gmail invites lying around….Ping me if ya need one….
