dreamzzzzzzzz......
THERE is always a first time to everything. And we enjoy that first time. Each day is also the first day of our remaining life. So it is must for us to enjoy it.
I know I have to do so many things in such a little time. So I have to work really hard to get done my “to-do-list” of life.
Sometimes I think hard work does kill us, but why should I take a chance ……!!! But then I think, if I will not do it ….it will kill me …!!! Right !!!
And sometimes I think to do each and everything in one day ….in that just enthusiastic moment …when I feel above this world.
As I was watching discovery, get to know that nearly 60,000 thoughts per day ….an average man can get….!!!
What …60,000…… L : (
Forget about a day,I dint had in whole life
Ya but dreams…!! I did think.
Even now as I sit here before system…..my legs paining as I sit in the same position whole day long….i dream that I ams sitting past a wonderfull clear stream with breeze so pleasant and my bare feet touching the cool grass ……I stretch out my legs and OUCH..!! I hit my PC’s cool CPU and bump out of dream. .. :(
I say to myself, some day I will have my own space in this world.
I just dream to make that space as big as I feel cozy, comfortable and warm. :)
Some say not to dream too much……
But then whats the life without dream……
I say Dream, but.
Either you should have the strength to take it when it doesn’t happen or the perseverance to follow it till it happens………
Dream…..its a beautiful break in your routine and gives you strength to go for tomorrow ……isn’t it????

IBSAT
As we reached hyderabad, lot of autorikshaw drivers heeded us. They all knew that we are here for IBSAT. This is because the long period of ICFAI interviews. Around 500-600 candidates are interviewed daily and this process will go around one month. So all basic service providers in hyd. know all the needs of candidates.
Somehow we managed to negotiate with one guy and went to hotel. I was with three of my friends. By the time we reached the hotel, we all were tired. All were just laid down wherever they got the space.
But after sometime F1 asked -are you awake???
I said how can I sleep after traveling 26 hour travelling. Then both started talking non sense…….girls ….&*((^%$$###@$#%^........
At last somehow we all fell into deep and peaceful slumber.
Reached Hyderabad: 14/02/2009
Date of Interview: 15/02/2009
Morning 4 am: Alarm..trin tring…..Someone snoozed the alarm ……after 10 min again tring…….!!!
So second times we realized that we are in hyd. For interview and we have to reach venue by 6 o’clock.
So as we are dedicated and devoted guys……so we all got ready by the time.
reached IBS Hyderabad: 7:00 am
got myself registered:
a red sheet of paper, in which it was writes Dear Mr.your MP group No: A16(6)
and the respective timings of the selection process...
went for breakfast....
8:15 am: everyone assembled at a hall in first floor. There they told us each and every activity that gonna to happen that day. After that they start disbursing us according to our batch numbers.
8:45 am: a person comes with a board A1 to A5 FOLLOW ME (just like in video game)
and similarly for other groups..
9:00 am: we went to our respective hall where "Mr. A16-A20 FOLLOW ME" took us
9:15 am: GK test..30 mins 100 question
my advice to all those who will be going to their selections
study countries with their capitals (unusual once) 7-8 questions
study symbols of various currencies (unusual once) 4-5 questions
some of the questions which I remember: businessman of the year, largest cricket ground in India, XYZ belongs to which profession / sport / music etc,
Prakash padukone is famous for..
No use reading the GK CD, whatever you have learned till now will suffice..
and my suggestions to mark all question in one go as there is no negative marking and the time is less...
IMMEDIATELY after the GK test we were taken to a HALL H where we were suppose to wait...
again that video game guy comes with A16 to A20 FOLLOW ME
and here we go to a room for our MP..
(everyone rushing to go to loo..in other words, sabki fati padi thi)
(before Mp started everone was like koi kisi se kuch nai poochega pls.. n pls argure mat karna kisi se etc etc.. my sugession don't listen to them... sabhi apne baare mein sochte hain n everyone asks question and try that you don't answer them, so listen to urself and ask as much as u can)
Now,
here comes 2 ppl: a FAT guy + bald + height 5'0 and another guy with mustaches(very similar to my X English teacher whom I hated, but this guy started smiling at me)
here comes 1st person: chit uthaao n shuru ho jaao no time to prepare
2nd one: Sir can i change my topic, m not prepared for this one
Fat guy: No No u go to the dice, think and then speak...
2nd one: (sad face) theek hai sir n spoke for 2-3 mins...
etc etc..
then 6th one (PJ) of Mp3 for GLOBAL WARMING ….!!!!
(aah... maja aa gaya) N started the presentation and gave them GYAN for 5 mins i believe then bell starts tring...I immediately concluded with skipping many points...
before i could say thank you..here comes the question...
bla bla bla...
gave everyone FULL GYAN about the topic...
last question i was answering ki fir se bell..
i asked both sir can i answer this question also...
(both) no no enough, we have to wind up fast..said thank you before i could say thank you everyone..
and the whole process got over in 50 mins..(they didn't even gave us 5 mins per person including questions)
I feel and so did everyone else ki they didn't know anything...
Now again Video game person A16 to A20 follow me asked us to follow..
we went and sat in some hall..
suddenly different different persons started calling 5 people at a time..
A1(1) to A(5) and so on..
here comes A16(1) to A16(5) (remember I was A16( )
I asked ppl before me, they said old guys is asking and cross questioning
I was scared
my turn came:
There were 2 people inside:
A old man (OM) (ICFAI GGN Director) and Sweet Lady(SL)
here comes the bell (they must be thinking, send the next bakra)
ME : Sir/mam can i come in.
(both): Yes yes please..
S: Please have a seat
OM: so Mr. RAJESH .. right..

Felt very good after the Interview was over...I had actually prayed for a stress interview, I knew I woudnt get stressed..they tried a lot to psyche me out..and I never felt the faintest hint of stress ..I never felt that these were BIMM profs..they were just good as any bunch of guys to me..I was cool and smiling throughout and put my points well and was reasonable.. finaly accepted what I had to say..at times I was a bit forceful..but never angry or loud or disturbed..whatever natural force my personality may have..it all flashed there..and then they had to listen.
But now looking in retro..I am worried about the acads part..thats what BIMM stresses on most. I am ok with x. xii…but there is obvious fall in graduation marks…..

love..
When you really love somebody
Can you bear to see them hurt?
Seeing their pain and tears…
Could make your heart churn
When you turn a blind eye,
To the feelings of the one you love
Poking them where it really hurts with words,
A dagger into their heart you thrust.
Then it surely cannot be love
Cause love is sensitive to hurt
You might as well give it up
Rather than cause any more hurt
When you know there is something
That bothers the one you love
Protect them forever from that thing
And prove you know what it is to love
Cause love is tender, love is strong
It is a parachute in the storm
When it becomes a whirlpool, pulling you down
Put out a hand, pull yourself out.

CAT journey is over.
When you buy a travel ticket to a certain point, you are 100 percent sure of reaching there.
However there are some journeys where in the chances of reaching your destination is less than 1 percent. The ticket sales of this journey have ended and hundreds of thousands of students are anxiously awaiting the results to trickle down.
And I am also one of them.
Journey I am talking about is CAT2008. I attempted to complete this magical voyage twice and still in dilemma.
Not being blessed with an extraordinary intellect. Lets say I was among the hopefuls rather than the achievers. I first gave CAT IN 2007 during the last year of my graduation. After attending the coaching classes and taking up the so many mock tests, I was brimming with confidence. I got shocked of my life when I saw my results. I had not even touched the 90 percentile last year. It was a major wake up call and more importantly a “back on earth” feeling that left me numb and shattered.
Anyways today I don’t want to make you more emotional on my sad journey of CAT. Today I decided to share some precious moments that I have spent in meanwhile of all this drama.
This year my CAT CENTER was in Chandigarh. And we decided to leave one day before D-DAY. I was with Rhea and lucky (name changed). We all were IN the same bus.
But before that, a darn drama happened. Unfortunately Rhea got in the wrong bus (not her fault, actually she is so innocent). The bus slowly down to crawl, and the conductor, sticking his head out of the door, said: “hurry then! Tell whoever is to come quickly.”
Meanwhile I and lucky reached the bus stand. She called me and told that the bus in which she is sitting left the bus stand. My reaction was like “oh GOD!”
On and on went her thoughts as she calculated and recalculated, planned and replanned…….she was more scared not because she boarded the wrong bus but because of long boring journey. Then she collected her courage and a small voice was heard shouting in the bus; “Stop the bus!! Stop the bus!!” with a tiny hand raised commandingly.
Atlast she get down the bus and came back to bus stand by foot to restart her journey for the D DAY.
Now she was feeling more relieved as we also. this time Mr. lucky was supposed to get the ticket from the ticket counter (as I am not that much efficient in this case). We boarded the right bus this time. The conductor blew his whistle twice and the bus moved forward with a roar. But sad thing was that we did not get the seat. There was only one seat on which I was sitting. And I gave that to Rhea( as I am generous guy
or have some pity for helpless
). At that time I was thinking that why should we stand when we have paid for a seat??
The bus stopped and some of the new passengers got on, and conductor got busy for a time. I was surprised how he was making his way in between the herd and he was frequently moving to and fro in the bus. In the meantime I plug in the earphone and lost in the music but the bumps were fetching me back from my dream world.
Rhea is sitting with an elderly woman. Although this journey was painstaking but she elaborates her plans she has made for this. Firstly she was resisting every temptation to buy peppermints, toys, balloons, and the like, and finally she broke out on all these. I knew her better but in this journey I came to know her best.
She has a strong desire for food. When she is typically hungry, she can eat 10- 15 chapatis in one go. I was perceiving that how difficult it had been for her to control her devouring devil desire.
As lunch time was drawing near, we dig our bags for food. We had 10 parathas in all. I thought this amount was more than sufficient for us. Firstly we ate one one each. And I and lucky were full after eating one one each. As I left the food a dishonest smile glows on her face, she thought now she have 8 more parathas to eat.
Now she was eating in her full form like Sahwag hitting the century against Pakistan. She finished all the parathas, all pickle, etc. in only 10 min. it means her average rate of eating one paratha is less than one minute.

Eating something was very funny to Rhea. She laughed and laughed until there were tears in her eyes.
Apart from her devouring desire there some more interesting thing was also happened that day. At one stand a little buy boarded the bus. He was a singer. Singing was his only livelihood. When he approached me for money then I directed him to Rhea as she was our boss and all the decisions will be reconsidered by her.
The little boy was looking with so much expectations in his eyes at Rhea.
She asked him to sing a song. He was singing fabulously. I recorded that song.
I will upload that file soon.
