Kisses galore.........

I am writing this post due to some of the recent kissing and cuddling events that are happening......... How can a country that boasts so much of its freedom of expression, thought blah blah...... Make such a big fuss when there is no need for it......

lets take it case by case....... First the Shilpa Shetty and Richard Gere incident......... Two people minding their own business......... You could say that shilpa shetty was taken aback when she was kissed in such a manner by gere......... But you could see that she was enjoying it........ If she dint have a problem then why should others have one.......people should have had a problem if either shilpa had a problem or there was some sort of nudity involved..............

Lets take the next one......... The aishwarya and hrithik kiss in Dhoom......... a simple smooch u could say......... people had such a big problem with that........... articles saying that the marriage is now off due to the kiss etc.......... Give me a break.......... Do people seriously think that abhishek would not have known about the kiss when he himself was acting in the movie.........
hypocriacy........ thats all it is........... people loved it when mallika sherwat was doing it in murder but when aishwarya rai does it........... all hell breaks loose........

lets take the third one............ Couples getting beaten up because of just sitting together and cuddling with each other in mumbai and pune......This is not carried out by some fundamentalist group or something like that.......... But they were beaten up by cops ........... the same people who are supposed to safegaurd the system......... is a little time with your loved one too much to ask for??

The more i think about it.......... the more it hits me that these events are carried out with no good intention in mind.......... its just to get some cheap publicity and make some headlines for the numerous newspapers and tv channels.......I hope the people who are supposed to protect the system such as cops and the courts get some sense and put an end to all this crap........

Where does my life take me from here.........

Its been 9 months since i have started my MBA and in another 9 months i would have completed my MBA ......... A scary thought indeed ........... The whole of my student life would be over.........

Lots of thoughts go through my head when i think about this......... At one end i think about a comfortable job which i would get at the end of 9 months and at the other is the lingering thought of entreprenuarship ........... At one end is the thought of finally being free and at the other is the lingering thought of marriage ( yes people in my community do get married early ........ so dont be surprised if u can invitation card from me :) ) ..........

Job vs Entreprenuar.......... I have spent countless nights thinking abt it......... And sometimes i feel the only take away from the MBA course is the confidence that i have now of doing something on my own ........ A job would mean a secured life ahead ( may not be the most relaxing ) ........ Nothing to worry about financially............ You will always get a second chance......... Day to day activities would seem to get organized ..........

But is it worth getting sucked into the job and only after 20 years would you really be ready to become an entreprenaur again.......... Or is it worth taking the risk and go out and do something for yourself.......... If reqd through away all those years of technical education......... Try and do something at the age of 35 or try doing something at the age of 55 that is the real question........

I have no idea what i will end up doing............ If you have some thoughts which could help me ........pls leave a comment ................

This is what i got when i tried to find out if i am open mided or not.......... Try it its good fun...... You will learn stuff abt yourself.........

You Are 68% Open Minded

You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded.
Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints.
But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line.
You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself.
9 months after joining MBA


its been a whole 9 months since i have joined NITIE...... so i thought i would do an introspection to see what all an MBA has given me and what i have lost ............

Things that i have lost

1. I have lost loads of hair ( MBA is driving me to baldness :))

2. I have lost weight and lost my awesome good looks ( who i am kidding ;) )

3. I have lost sleep ......... Have had numerous sleepless nights ......... Most important thing to remember as i was a person who used to sleep 10 hours a day before joining MBA

4. I have lost a chance to stay in bangalore ( i am a big bangalore fan )

5. Lost a chance to stay with my nephew and neice :(((( ........

6. Lost a chance to spend time with all the hot babes of bangalore .......... NITIE doesnt have ne babes :((((

7. Lost a chance to continously earna 30k a month salary......and a comfortable life.........

The list goes on and on...........

Things that i have gained ..............

1. A great deal of self confidence which has led me to beleive that i can take on the best and beat them at their own game..........

2. Some amount of entreprenurial thought ..........

3. An expereince of a lifetime........... no amount of words that can describe it..........

4. Made some great friends whom i will never forget.........

5. learnt a great deal about group dynamics ...........

6. Most importantly learnt a great deal of MBA fart which would help to navigate any situation :) ..........

I have had a great experience in the last 9 months and hope to have a better one in the next 9..... A sincere advice to everyone is to do an MBA as you will gain a great deal from it........ Dont get choosy abt the colleges u get, its the experience and learning that u gain the most than the initial placement................
