No, this is not any Alfred Hitchcock Movie! But the series of unforgettable events that comprised 1st of August, 2009 were nothing short of a roller-coaster ride in the realms of the unknown, excitement, thrill and most importantly – loads of learning. For Mandi – 2009 turned out to be, as was promised to me by my seniors and teachers alike, a once-in-a-lifetime experience!The above picture says...

Its been 8 days now, since I became a follower of NITIEism, and to put it in a nutshell – LIFE HAS CHANGED! (The words in Caps are put there knowingly).It all started with my initial footsteps into the all-green campus in the hot afternoon of 17th June. As my auto screeched to a halt in front of PGP-1/2/5 Hostel, with the huge luggage accompanying me, I was suddenly encompassed by that special feeling...

The stakes were really high: He was in a Grand Slam Final. One win away from the elusive French open crown. One victory short of a 14th Grand slam title, to equal Pete Sampras’s feat. A performance which could make him only the 7th player in the open era to win all 4 major slams. He was up against the Super-Swede Robin Soderling, the conqueror of Clay King Rafa earlier in the tournament, in this...

Everyday I want to fly stay by my side,Everyday I want to dream stay by my side,Every morning I wish I could just play,Wish the mornings would just stay!This Vodafone song happens to be my caller tune.

2 months and 4 days... Ha - now thats a hell lot of a time to update one's blog (more so when it has such a huge fan following :P)But now that i m here (courtesy RJ), its time for some serious talk:During the last few months (to be more precise after the release of Dev D), I have become a huge fan of 'Anurag Kashyap' - the Bollywood director.

Ideally, this post should have been titled: "I DID IT" (a sequel to my one-year old post I could/should/would have...). And ideally, it should have been about my CAT'09 wonders (please dont kill me for bringing this CAT word again in my post! Well to be frank, I just love it :P)But then ideally, 9 January 2009 should have been an auspicious occassion for me rather than a so-so day. And ideally, I should have cracked CAT inside-out!But this is an un-deal world. For otherwise, rather than writing this post at 8pm on a Friday with a weekend beckoning, I would have been talking to my very gorgeous girl-friend and making plans for the weekend :PBut huh.. not everything goes as planned in this un-ideal world. So the verdict is "NO IIM CALLS" (for the third-year running...) Ideally you would think...
