As Prerana’10 ended on a rocking note, so did the month of October and plans were made on the journey back to doon yet again! And It was exactly at that point of time that reality struck me, real hard! And so here I am finally checking out my blog to take it out of a deep slumber recently and pen down my thoughts…What started as a ‘Chaos Theory’ and remains much more so even 16 months after, is coming...

The connoisseurs of pure cinematic excellence again stood up in awe and disbelief. The applause went on even as the crowd tried to comprehend what they had just witnessed, almost as if they were trying to kick themselves out of a dream. It was a hat-trick! Nolan and Zimmer had not only lived up to their reputation but this time they had absolutely outdone themselves. For its one thing to create a...

"When I get older, I will be stronger, They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag, And then it goes back, and then it goes back, And then it goes back"!!! On 11th June, The Beautiful Game began in all its magnificence in the beautiful stadium of Johannesburg in South Africa! The one month footballing extravaganza will yet again bring hundreds of nations, thousands of cities and millions of...

Date: 14 May, 2010Time: 12 midnight (Paris)3 souls are hypnotized with what they are witnessing in front of them! One of the 7 wonders of the world is glittering with stunning lights over and over again, for the next 10 minutes!! For me, the already special day (my Mom’s birthday) became a day I will always remember forever!! Eiffel tower at 12 midnight in all its lightning beauty touched me inside the heart to the core. Yes, this is Paris!The Paris trip started in almost the Barca way for us, travelling around a lot to find the right apartment and made even more exciting because of THE GAME we played (JD will agree the most I am sure :P). And then the Paris experience went from being good to better to best to near-perfect!!!The monumental Arc di Triomphe with six diverging roads leading...

Hotel Marina in Bogatel turned out to be a not so easy destination to reach! The three of us had been walking on the road for almost 2 hours now, quite a few kilometers for sure and if you have to keep up with kamra’s pace, you have to speed-walk or should I say mild-running! Now Bogatel is a small place in Barcelona… Now if I have to repeat a similar series of events in Mumbai, trust me we all would either have a heat stroke, melting from the sweltering heat and dehydrated our bodies to the last drop of H2O… But then we were enjoying ourselves in a very pleasant climate, with vacant roads, ultra-clean environment, very impressive crowd and the fact that we had finally arrived in Europe for the one week extravaganza!! Right from the luxury of our 4-star hotel with majestic rooms and lavish...

When Kimi Raikkonen stormed past the likes of Gavin Hamilton and Fernando Alonso to emerge the Formula One Champion few years back, my F-1 Grand Prix passion had reached its peak!!When Barcelona, powered by the likes of the mercurial Lionel Messi, dominated both the Spanish Liga and UEFA Champions League, my craze about Barca was at its zenith!!And the Eiffel tower, the Louvre museum of Da Vinci code as well as the Disneyland had always amazed and thrilled me forever!!However, to think that I will be there in person to witness all these and more anytime soon was not even in my wildest of dreams, frankly speaking!! So when I board the flight to Barcelona, early 7th morning of May, I would be on my way to what promises to be a trip, which is going to blow my head-off and put my world in a tizzy,...

Ideally this post should have been dated – January, 2009, when I should have supposedly got IIM calls once the CAT results were declared! But then, I had managed to screw up a section in CAT yet again! My dream college, like everyone else – Indian Institute of Management, Ahmadabad (IIM-A) had eluded me once and for all…On 19 March, 2010 (the date which I will remember for the rest of my life now)...
