Confession

Oh, ok ok… For the clarification of all the readers, I hereby admit that I have been in a relationship for almost past 8 years now. I know all of my friends always doubted me about it, but I guess there is always time to acknowledge such things.

Anyways it was love at first sight for me. I fell in love with the gorgeous looks and sweet sound during the first meeting. There are few things that you just can’t forget in a great relationship. One of it is the first walk together. In our side of world, it is said that if it rains during your first walk, u have a special bond. And guess what, even though it was month of March, it rained and that’s when I knew, it was going to be special.

Anyways, without keeping much of it under wraps, I would like to divulge the name, it my Pulsar 150 DTSi. Till date, my longest relationship with a non-living thing.

I have always loved to be around it. Going out on long rides with it. It always kind of guessed my mood and responded in a soothing manner. It was able to know when I needed peace and solace and when I needed to be energised. I on the other hand just ensured to take care of it to the best of my abilities.

Of the numerous journeys, clocking more than 50k kms, has been a real pleasure with it. It gave and still continues to give me a sense of independence and security. I have pushed it to its limits few times when I was really upset or when I really wanted to try its abilities. And on most occasions, it has stood by my confidence on it.

Even though, it has started to show its age off, with the hoarse voice and a bit of weakened suspensions, but guess will be as good as new with one visit to the specialist.

Hope to be in this relationship for time to come.

Summing up Summers!!!

SIRP 

Summer Internship Recruitment Program

The four letter word above depicted the anxiety on the minds of all 207 students of batch of 2013 batch of SiBM. The anxiety started much before the beginning of September 2011 and continued to last 26 Sept. 2011… there were many versions of these anxiety, few of the versions are described below”

Type 1: Guys belonging to this group were the CHOSEN ONES during this process... these guys (and gals, to avoid discrimination) managed to get thru the companies in first 2 days… and YES, this WAS a big achievement, at least for the moment. These guys had a typical question of passing time after they got placed as they had all time in world but nothing substantial to do… One could easily identify the group of these guys by looking at their screens which either played some movie/ sitcom or games... the major reason for their frustration after 2 days was that they were being called for no reason at all.. They had to wake up and go through the daily rigor w/o any further incentive.

Type2:

These were mostly work ex guys… to frame it better, these were guys which were NOT required by any company, as all the companies needed a fresh perspective, which apparently could be provided only by freshers (Bullshit!!!, same expression which was used in the hall). These guys were NOT getting Shortlisted for first 3 days and even if one off company called them, there were slim chances of them to get thru PI. These guys were frustrated cos they saw freshers getting placed and losing out on the placements only cos they were OVERQUALIFIED with work ex… People often tell u that work ex would be useful during MBA but here was an eye opener!!!

Type 3:

These were the ppl were sitting idle thru most of the days cos they had chosen a stream which apparently needed NO Summer Internship as no company bothered to pick them up… these were generally from Finance. These ppl had given hopes on even getting calls for GDs…

Anyways with all these types of ppl around and around 200 students cramped inside the small hall AH2 for 12 long days (3 days off in it), it was like a refugee camp with food packets being shared even with only face friends..

All in all it was a tough but fun filled time... an experience of lifetime…
