National Convention-The preparations!!!

December21st , 2014
The cosy bed
6.38pm

2154 students,the complete auditorium, siri fort auditorium, filled with faces of all kinds and of all genres,one good morning from the President and a united greeting in response,a silent listening among all and the wait for a fun filled evening.

The scenario is of the National Convention for CA students.

The calender showed 27th November,around 7.32 in the morning when a call woke me up. "dude, aaj meeting hai 3 baje"
I don't know what replied I gave, but I knew I said something like,"bhai,uthne to de!"

The next agenda after the exams was the convention and I knew my participation would become mandatory if I attended even one meeting and yes,I was damn right.
The meeting commenced and I tried to ostracise myself as efficiently as possible,but my efforts were in vain. on voting by my friends present there,I was chosen to be one of the heads and there was only one word on my mind- FUCK!!

I knew I had been bestowed upon with abnormal powers,lets say,due to my friends( don't worry,il get back to u soon :/) and just like spider man used to say,"with great powers comes great responsibilities"
My father always say either don't take up any responsibility and if you do,then complete it with utmost excellence so that no one can have access to the kryptonite to your superpowers.

And the promotions phase began

My intention in entering the convention was to expand my network and it did. The best part comes when you go and meet different students,faculties,members etc. some faculties are very supportive,some are equally anti supportive. There is a feeling of content when you talk to people and you are able to maintain their attention on what you are speaking. trust me,its very difficult to do so!

I kept my areas limited and got a good response,I was content, thou I was still inconclusive as to how will I proceed further. It was the end of 9th day of my promotion,I had already gathered a 100students when I got to know that nothing is in order and the coordinators are fighting among themselves regarding the petty issues which just came up out of nowhere.

Someone had to enter in between and deep inside I knew it was me,but I was scared. not coz of the fight,but what if things worsened?what if my actions backfired?what if someone judged me wrong?

I entered

Everybody was supportive, everybody wanted the convention to succeed and just when they saw a light,all ran in unity towards it. when today I look back,I feel that if everybody dint kept their egos aside and did whatever they felt is correct, everything would have gone wasted.

Things started flowing in the manner they should. people religiously worked in whatever time they could get and finally things started moving. we had to match the pace of time in completing the work and thanks and a big hug to all the people working who made it possible.

After a major portion of time dedicated  towards the promotions we now shifted to delegation of duties to be performed on the main day. A group of 5 sat with me and helped in delegating and dividing the work. Everyone had to be strategically placed and I knew it very well how to do that :p

The kits were arranged,the shopping was completed,the flowers for our dignitaries were ordered,gifts and merchandise was arranged and literally in a span of 5 days,everything was finalised!

The anchors, who were selected,actually earned their position on the podium. For the first time(if im not wrong) 3 stages of auditions were conducted and all judges by unbiased and educated judges! ahem well,at least 2 stages were! ;)

I really feel bad for my co-host. I being involved in almost everything had to manage the people flowing in and out and their issues and grievances and also prepare for my session. She did all the hard work of preparing the script,editing it,adding and deleting stuff and finally finalising it. I just came and saw whether what she wrote is feasible and trust me,it was awesome!! love you "M1" :p

It was 15th night,10.27pm when a guy,apparently the paper presenter, called and said in a south indian accent," sir,I'm in train and will reach Delhi by 6am"
and I was like,I'm screwed!! where the hell will I keep him at 6 in the morning???? I was looking after the accommodation and I was so stressed by that one call!! I called a dear friend and asked him if he could pick this guy and keep him at his home for at least 4 hrs so that I can complete the formalities at the hotel already booked and he readily agreed! :D

For all those working in the administration dept of any office,I salute you guys! its hell of a job to manage everything! I know this for sure,one just cannot conquer alone! if you want to be invincible,rather than making people work,work with them..

One guy came at 5pm and the last guy to enter that day checked in at 11.47pm. after arranging for food and other requirements,I headed for home..when I rang the door bell, it was 1am!

The big day had finally arrived and things had to be kept in control for at least next 2days and thank god they did!

Among all these mismanagment and completing work within the given deadlines I found a person who is an epitome of managing things efficiently. It was his constant support that kept my sanity intact.  Thankyou my "kuber" :p

I lied on the bed at 1.32am just to again get up at 4am.

The next day, place was named ITO, time displayed by institute clock was 5.32am and i was standing there to execute the further orders.......

WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL CONVENTION FOR CA STUDENTS

Life in a metro!!

September 19,2014
Metro
3pm

Life in a metro, No, i dint mean the movie..i meant literally!
Sitting besides an old aunty who is constatntly gazing in my phone is something i would not want at this point of time! (I guess she read that, now she is not looking :p )

Thanks to Mr Subramanium, the network of metro all over the city has made life easier rather convenient for travelling from one corner to the other corner.

having said that, and after forgetting my headphones at home, i do realise that one can find every sort and people from almost every place on earth! Mind it, i said earth..

(Aunty's eyes fixed on my phone again, just more curious now)

Ohkay, so who all do we have here, an old man like he was born to do the whole work of the office, a couple ie a very pretty girl with not so pretty boyfriend, the good villagers, the bad villagers, a smart ass guy and a bunch of school going or i would say school coming kids.

thats the view from my seat..u know one can tell that a guy and a girl is a couple by the way they stand in the metro..the guy tries to protect his girl from every possibility of touch offered by the other commuters.

i mean, ohkay, u love her alot and care for her but this is too much..if you are so worried why not just let her go in the womens coach?

just a wild thought, why not reserve a coach only for couples..just double the price, they would spend that much to spend so called quality time in the metro ;)

Some of these village people amaze me, i mean when they know that they have less resources then why do u guys keep on producing kids?? There is a family, a small heightened husband, a very slim wife, one child in her hand, one child holding her another hand, one child with all the luggage and one with the food stuff, including whatever material could be fitted in a small polythene!

polythene was banned, right? (Confused)

this reminds me the best nature of indians, whenever there is a baj on something, we do find a way to earn from that order of the government!

like polythenes were banned so that the environment can be saved..i went to shopping and normally paper bags are given, but that guy was like if u want a polythene, pay some extra amount!!!

I mean, dude, how the hell do u expect me to carry the clothes of my whole family in my hand?? Obviously il be needing a carry bag, but then u have to pay extra!
well played man! :/

ohh, coming back to metro,

i dont know who came up with the idea of a woman coach, i mean what did he want? A glimpse of all the beauties alltogether?? And the coach chosen in the 1st coach of the metro..y cant it be the last coach? I really doubt if the driver has a hidden camera in that coach!

if someone announced in the metro that a bomb is activated, im sure people will not be as perturbed as they would be when they would come to know that next station in rajiv chowk!

I just got out of the metro and i dont know how! It was as if i was being carried outside with the flow..and people are stupid enough to go to spas for the massage..come in the metro from rajiv chowk to kashmere gate and you will get the best massage of your life and that too freee!!!

today i realised a very big disadvantage of having an impressive height, specialy if you travel in a metro!

Im standing and in front of me is a short man and thanks to the growing public, he is coming more close to me..i so wish he was a woman! Anyhow, his head was just below my nostrils and i could actualy smell his oily hair..

thou normaly i would have either moved away (watever distance would b possible) or just died of lack of oxygen but it was different..he had some masala flavoured oil, when the fragrance went inside my nostril i could think of nutcrackers and masala peanuts!

i could not believe my brain hormones or whoever is responsible for the saliva, i had water in my mouth!
i was like wtf!! I said to my brain, go home you're drunk! :p

But thankfully i was saved from the attrocities as i got out at the next station miraculously!
amidst such people, be gratefull to god that you can breathe!

i really wonder, that the number of coaches in a metro is directly proportional to the number of people travelling in it daily!

there were only 4 coaches when it first started running, then went upto 6 and now 8!

The time is not far away when you would find people cooking in the metro itself, or people coming inside to sell their portable juicers and very soon washrooms will be added amd foodstalls killing each other to sell their packed popcorns!!!

sometimes i think why not build our own metro..there will be a very huge investment but just see the number of people travelling daily, all that would be recovered just in an year! And then just make way for the profits! :p

i know, very unrealistic, but then thoughts do creep in! ;)

Everyday we have a new experience all together..one day u forget your headphones and you would find that life has so much to offer!

GMCS!!!!

August 24,2014
Lost in thoughts
3am

GMCS!! the time i was waiting for long,may be coz heard alot about it from friends who already did it and enjoyed it to the core..its a kind of orientation type thing,basic purpose is to make new friends/girlfriends/roam araound/explore new places/meet new people/grow,rather evolve/lets say a tad improvement too..well guess what,im interested in all of these..! ha ha

Thou to get this batch,had to talk to lots of influential people and im really happy i took the pain of doing so..was worth it

And the journey begins...

DAY-1
Missed it!! yeah u read it correctly..i missed it..it was a day well spent in an industrial trip to mother dairy plant,where i got free milk(eeeeeeee) along with very usefull and unknown facts about milk..that guide was like a wikipedia..did u know that icecreams are fluffy coz they have air in it and they are measured in ml and not grams or kilograms?
neither did i,till that day :p
then with "my babes" went to india gate and a rainy and awesome evening spent!

DAY-2
The institute was not new,people were..60 new and refreshing faces were sitting in front of me..poeple from different areas of the country,neither looking at each other,nor wanting to,only busy with those whom they knew..was not expecting such kind of crowd..thou things changed drastically by the 15th day.

DAY-3
The day when actually i came to know everybody's name..i mean literally..the faculty that day made me pronounce the names of everybody present..thank god he did..i would have taken some more time to know everbody..well,the ice was broken and i dont know if its true,but if u remember any girls name only after listening to it once,she likes it..happens with boys too,but then they dont care that much :p

DAY-4
The actual fun began from this day..class was normal but the time after it is worth remembering..went for bowling and huh,i won!!that came as a surprise to many,but then one should not challenge..never knew that i would have to treat them as well!well played guys! :-/
 McD's burgers were on me..also had the bumpiest car ride ever..amazing it was..

DAY-5 TO DAY-15
Ice breaking done..i knew everybody,everybody knew me..nothing else matters..faculties came and went but the bond between few of us became stronger and ever..CP was our new home..tried almost every pub/bar and restraunt there..India Gate was never too far for anyone anymore!!

With many activities taken place in class,one was there in which i played the role of "kamini saas" .. now thats something which will always be remembered by everyone..im so good at being so natural :D

Then there was a session where interviews were taken live by the faculty..i knew him before hand,i was saved from the attrocities!i remember,sabki fatt gyi thi gandi wali :p
the cv writing faculty..realised the faults we have been making since ages..the "aan de" man..ab to kuch bhi ho,bass aann de!!! the best was the GD faculty..very impressed by his attitude and his style!yes sir,we do share a common hairstyle :p  apne "atthani chavani" ko to bhula hi ni sakte..hats off to all the faculties! taught some of those things which i dont think normal people will tell you ever in life.

There was an instance which i cannot remember without holiding my jaw..went to CP and everybody wanted,actually challenged to have an ice-paan..and we all did..!!proudly!! thou no one except me and vig could finish it..and that paan wala also came in full mood!!ice pe ice daale jaa rha tha..abbe ye bhi to dekh le ki mouth me fit hoga ki bhi nahi :p

the next 4 days and nights were the most painfull..thanks to the ice,the teeth were hurting very badly..i remember,ashish J,was also facing the same :p
