The story of a purchase guy- Part 1

2010-11-29T21:58:00.000+05:30

This is the story of my life since last 8 months. I have experienced certain truths of sales and purchase negotiation which is not written in any textbook. Life is cruel and corporate world is devilish and punish in its own way.

Story starts from corridors of very known business school of the country. Final placements were just around the corner. Library was full till 4 am, Junta want to mugg up everything which can possibly ask by an interviewer or can be a part of group discussion topic. Guys you have not taken a single day seriously were began to worry about their future. Pre-placement talks were been a ritual in institute, every one was talking about signups, profiles, salaries blah blah blah...

In between there was a guy having aspiration to join India best corporation in a marketing role because he was in opinion it is the best job he can have. Finally the d-day came:

Placements (Day 1): Shortlisted for 4 group discussion and one interview with India's largest telecom operator. Result: No Offer

Placements (Day 2): A relatively unknown company (Trident Group- not Trident Hotels) shortlisted my name for interview. I was no prepared for the interview as it was all sudden. I had an image that it is same group which own popular hotel chain. Before appearing for interview my dreaming free lunches in Oberoi group of hotels -Tridents and Vilas

First interview round: Very casual, questions related to my engineering, I was explaining metallurgy rather Marketing. Second round: They offered me a job and ask to decide whether I want to join in supply chain or not. First day was tough for me so I was thinking that taking a job is no harm as I can later switch to my choice o profile in career (Still a distant dream). So I was through, had a job offer in something called - Supply Chain Management (SCM)

I partied with some friends in Noida in weekend and felt relief from tension for a job (Afterall it was not a great year for campus placement), not knowing where Iam headed to.

Part two continued............

Hum Kya Chahte- Aazadi??

2010-08-08T19:42:00.002+05:30

Its been months, I have not written anything. But this time it is difficult to keep myself from writing.

Topic here is KASHMIR! A topic on which everyone has his/her own perspective and views. We look it as our internal matter but are they think so (Kashmiris) - an internal matter of India. KASHMIR — AND THE Kashmiri — is a question with a big Question. From past 3 month this so called heaven on earth is burning an burning like hell. Killing are common, Curfew from part 8 days, shoot at sight order, 50 people killed in firing, separatists are active like in 1989 and single slogan – “ HUM KYA CHAHTE- AAZADI”.

Still we Indian think Kashmiris are own part/people. There was a national wide BHARAT BANDH in July, several protests, at few place Lathicharge but no one died but if same happen in Kashmir will it be same? How there can be more than 50000 AK-47 in valley, where government is sleeping when such a movement has planned?

Stone pelting has come daily routine, Hurriyat leading movement in this way by moving innocent children, women, young generation in front and support of militancy from back. They understood the need of change of strategy to realize world that Kashmir is next Palestine and their intervention is required. But whatever their motive is I feel Govt. is insensitive to their plea. Not a single big politician has moved himself to the site (Srinagar) to talk why there is so much agitation and what is possible solution. Instead they are enjoying their meals, meetings and busy in so called fight for common man.

It’s a complete failure of Govt. machinery and insensitivity for the issue. Many of my friends will ask to suggest me a solution, but I too don’t have answer but I can say that political efforts are required to bring back peace, talks are necessary with all groups and force is definitely not a solution to curb protest.

As far as the word/slogan AAZADI goes it has been define in different ways. KASHMIRIS are not only population of J & K so it seems irrelevant but something should be done to restore faith and believe in them that India is their country and best option they have. Save innocents, reduce military intervention, lesser budget for Kashmir issue, abolish 370, give jobs and education, strong leadership and international stand then we can hope for better future.

Engineering College Rankings 2010 - College Khabar

2010-03-02T20:18:00.003+05:30

Hi all,

Recently Collegekhabar.com has started a campaign for ranking Engineering Colleges in India. They claim that it would be one of reliable ranking as they would going to consider student's perspective in big way along with Placement stats.

I am agreed on one point that 'Ranking' of should have element of placement above all which every student look in. Placements also reflect the trust institute has gained till date among Businesses. It also reflect quality of students, facilities utilization and live projects (some industries considered them very important like -IT)

I am copy-pasting details of this 'Ranking by Collegekhabar.com':

IITs & few other top-notch institutes rule in the engineering domain, but CollegeKhabar brings ‘Engineering College Rankings 2010’, an attempt to find out:

Institute where do top recruiters go first?

Institute which have the better placements?

Institute with the best academic environment?

Institute with the best corporate relations?

……and so on……

This ranking will be useful:

For engineering aspirants to compare among the best options available

For colleges to know where they stand & where to emphasize on improvement

For industry in their campus recruitment decisions

For students and alumni, for whom it is a matter of pride

But when there are already a lot of surveys/rankings done by big-shots in industry then what is the use of one more?

This survey will be focused on most important aspect student seek in a college – Placements*. Importance is also given on industrial relations, opportunity to work on good projects and quality of faculty members.

Quality of an institute can be judge by the perception of the students who are studying there or by opinions of Alumni. We tried to link them with this ranking. So this ranking/survey results will be the outcome of what current students & alumnus in engineering domain think about the institutes.

* Our secondary research shows that students put placements in engineering colleges a way ahead than faculty - student ratio, infrastructure, intellectual capital etc.

For further details about ‘Engineering College Rankings 2010’ & nominating your institute or the institute of your choice please visit:

Note: Nomination of an institute will also follow the popular choice along with certain fixed criteria (seen at-least3 placement seasons). More the number of requests more likely chances to be included in ranking 2010.

Important dates:

Last date of Nomination of an institute: 8^th March, 2010

Start of online opinion poll: 10^th March, 2010

Final ranking: 1^st week of April, 2010

Happy Holi!

2010-03-01T23:27:00.004+05:30

Bright colors, water balloons, lavish gujiyas and melodious songs are the ingredients of a perfect Holi.

Wishing You A Very Happy and Wonderful Holi.

I am back on blogging after 2 months since last post. Twitter/micro blogging is carrying away entire lime light. But some how I realize that blogs are far better medium to express yourself. With Hope of continuous posting on Blog I am signing off!

Happy New Year: Summary of year 2009

2009-12-31T15:32:00.003+05:30

Only few hours left of 2009 and it’s time to reflect on the year that was. I thought 2009 would be a big one for me, but I don’t think I realised how life changing some of the events would be. When you face the year ahead you make goals, plans and set targets for yourself, having direction is a great thing. Often though, it’s the unexpected and the changes, the things we never could have foreseen that really make us.

This was a year of friendship, success & failures, love & hatred. This was my supposedly final year of my student life atleast for near future as I have no more plans to study. I need a break. I am studying since last 25 year now it’s time to do some real work.

I’m not making any really big New Year resolutions. I made a list of plans and things I would ‘like to’ achieve as I feel this is a much more flexible and approachable way to look at our future. So I’m saying for 2010, give it all you got, have a blast and make mistakes, it’s the best way to learn. Most of all enjoy! Nothing is a waste of time as long as we learn from it and at differently in the future. Now it is time to face the cruel world and do something that you are good at.

These are of few of highlights from 2009:

1) CollegeKhabar: One thing that seems impossible if someone had seen me and Hemant some years ago. Naveen and Praddy has definitely amused how can these two idiots (not stupid) driven by completely different counterviews can start something together called entrepreneurial venture

2) Placement: Job offer from Trident Group (but my Rona is still on). Year is ending with good news from Manoj and Suruchi.

3) Jhatpat Pyar phatapat Breakup (gsmnit can understand it better!!)

4) I met MNIT friends throughout year and cherish moments that we spent together.

5) IMT moments: In 2008 I was hardly socializing in IMT but in 2009 I made good friends, enjoyed partying together, Passion-09, chit-chats, sharing moments of placements, exams, project, competitions etc etc.

6) Memorable Pune holidays in April

7) The Manali trip: Again in Jan 2009 I went Manali with IMT friends enjoyed a lot but was missing the gang of 4.

8) Two months of summer internship in Gurgaon in extreme summers (read- heat + humidity) was one of most tough time of year.

9) Stood first in class – only in one trimester and no hope in future (People might say is it an important event I say it is something which I haven’t seen in past 10 years)

10) The second home “IMT- library” during exam time.

To sum up all I can say: ALL WASS WELL!!

London Dreams: Mocking Rock band life

2009-11-01T13:11:00.002+05:30

I was feeling bore since past many days and life was seem to be stagnant. College, CK, Competitions and blah blah blah.. were sucking fun out of my life. This week even having so much work pending (specially Sales Management one- it is insane, evoking a freak out of me) I decided to watch a movie outside (my fav activity). I booked ticket a night before for LONDON DREAMS as I didn't want to comeback due to house-full problem.

Movie was decent. Salman was funny, interesting and entertaining. Role of Ajay Devgan has dark shades which suits him but movie went much ahead. Rest all were okay types. Movie mock life of rockstars but failed. Climax was too dramatic to digest (matches with any Priyadarshan's movie). One thing which went wrong in my opinion is itself star cast. 40+ (in age) heroes as upcoming rockstars difficult to digest yet both tried hard to be convincing. One can watch movie for once. Not great but watchable.

Now I am waiting eagerly for 3 idiots as promos are out and movie is releasing next month.

काँच की बरनी और दो कप चाय

2009-10-28T21:13:00.004+05:30

Recently I come across this philosophy of life and I feel it worth sharing so here it goes:

जीवन में जब सब कुछ एक साथ और जल्दी - जल्दी करने की इच्छा होती है , सब कुछ तेजी से पा लेने की इच्छा होती है , और हमें लगने लगता है कि दिन के चौबीस घंटे भी कम पड़ते हैं , उस समय ये बोध कथा , " काँच की बरनी और दो कप चाय " हमें याद आती है ।

दर्शनशास्त्र के एक प्रोफ़ेसर कक्षा में आये और उन्होंने छात्रों से कहा कि वे आज जीवन का एक महत्वपूर्ण पाठ पढाने वाले हैं ...

उन्होंने अपने साथ लाई एक काँच की बडी़ बरनी ( जार ) टेबल पर रखा और उसमें टेबल टेनिस की गेंदें डालने लगे और तब तक डालते रहे जब तक कि उसमें एक भी गेंद समाने की जगह नहीं बची ... उन्होंने छात्रों से पूछा - क्या बरनी पूरी भर गई ? हाँ ... आवाज आई ... फ़िर प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने छोटे - छोटे कंकर उसमें भरने शुरु किये h धीरे - धीरे बरनी को हिलाया तो काफ़ी सारे कंकर उसमें जहाँ जगह खाली थी ,समा गये , फ़िर से प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने पूछा , क्या अब बरनी भर गई है , छात्रों ने एक बार फ़िर हाँ ...कहा अब प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने रेत की थैली से हौले - हौले उस बरनी में रेत डालना शुरु किया , वह रेत भी उस जार में जहाँ संभव था बैठ गई , अब छात्र अपनी नादानी पर हँसे .... फ़िर प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने पूछा ,क्यों अब तो यह बरनी पूरी भर गई ना ? हाँ .. अब तो पूरी भर गई है .. सभी ने एक स्वर में कहा .. सर ने टेबल के नीचे से चाय के दो कप निकालकर उसमें की चाय जार में डाली , चाय भी रेत के बीच स्थित थोडी़ सी जगह में सोख ली गई ....

प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने गंभीर आवाज में समझाना शुरु किया –

इस काँच की बरनी को तुम लोग अपना जीवन समझो ....

टेबल टेनिस की गेंदें सबसे महत्वपूर्ण भाग अर्थात भगवान , परिवार , बच्चे , मित्र , स्वास्थ्य और शौक हैं,

छोटे कंकर मतलब तुम्हारी नौकरी , कार , बडा़ मकान आदि हैं , और

रेत का मतलब और भी छोटी - छोटी बेकार सी बातें , मनमुटाव , झगडे़ है ..

अब यदि तुमने काँच की बरनी में सबसे पहले रेत भरी होती तो टेबल टेनिस की गेंदों और कंकरों के लिये जगह ही नहीं बचती , या कंकर भर दिये होते तो गेंदें नहीं भर पाते , रेत जरूर आ सकती थी ...

ठीक यही बात जीवन पर लागू होती है ... यदि तुम छोटी - छोटी बातों के पीछे पडे़ रहोगे और अपनी ऊर्जा उसमें नष्ट करोगे तो तुम्हारे पास मुख्य बातों के लिये अधिक समय नहीं रहेगा ... मन के सुख के लिये क्या जरूरी है ये तुम्हें तय करना है । अपने बच्चों के साथ खेलो , बगीचे में पानी डालो , सुबह पत्नी के साथ घूमने निकल जाओ , घर के बेकार सामान को बाहर निकाल फ़ेंको , मेडिकल चेक - अप करवाओ ... टेबल टेनिस गेंदों की फ़िक्र पहले करो , वही महत्वपूर्ण है ... पहले तय करो कि क्या जरूरी है... बाकी सब तो रेत है ..

छात्र बडे़ ध्यान से सुन रहे थे .. अचानक एक ने पूछा , सर लेकिन आपने यह नहीं बताया कि " चाय के दो कप " क्या हैं ? प्रोफ़ेसर मुस्कुराये , बोले .. मैं सोच ही रहा था कि अभी तक ये सवाल किसी ने क्यों नहीं किया ...

इसका उत्तर यह है कि , जीवन हमें कितना ही परिपूर्ण और संतुष्ट लगे , लेकिन अपने खास मित्र के साथ दो कप चाय पीने की जगह हमेशा होनी चाहिये ।

Month of August- Lucky

2009-10-27T01:48:00.003+05:30

I am not writing since launch of CollegeKhabar.com. These two months were most hectic ones I ever felt. Life was exciting but hectic. I find it difficult to manage between studies, CK and other activities like movies. But this period taught me big lesson that we can sustain with minimal of sleep if you involved yourself in something creative, something that excite you.

Month of August was lucky for me. We officially launch CK, I got a scholarship (for academic excellence, surprising) and many friends visit (Shiv Singh) in that month.

Happiness has very short life and thus we require small small doses of moments which bring smile on our face and month of August was full of it. I got my first appearance ever in Newspaper(for CK). That was quite exciting, got many calls from friends in Jaipur, messages congratulating for my efforts.

But in all these thing I left blogging which I feel was not right. I need to keep writing(I know no one other interested in what I write but still....) and I will.

A morning in library!!

2009-07-18T22:30:00.003+05:30

Life sometimes teach you lesson that if you don’t work on time and wait till your a$# put on fire certain consequences will definitely be there.

Yesterday I had midterm exam of strategic management course, as usual I started studying after 10 pm. As soon I started I come to know that syllabus was too vast to study in a night. Before exam in morning I had to attend the classes of TQM (not Total Quality Management but QTM: Quantity of Time is Murdered). So have to read whatever possible in that night. All thanks to previous day schedule that I haven’t got chance to sleep for 4 hours. So in total I was sleepy sleepy yet weepy to go through course.

With 4 coffee breaks in 4 hours and 1 full hour healthy discussion (read crap) with Messcom the task to finish the required reading had become mammoth task. I decided to follow great Mr. Newton who proposed their first law: Law of inertia and started reading without break until I was forced to do so. I burnt lamp whole night in library (read tube lights) suddenly someone came to patted my back. I was scared!!! But he was the librarian who said "dude it’s time to pack up" I looked around I was the only one there and watch is showing 5.45 am... I packed up and went to room. Syllabus was still not completed moreover need to attend classes in morning (which was already there). I twit, update status watched video of “India Got Talent” on YouTube and finally down on bed hoping for some luck for next day. This sums up an average night during exams in IMT for me.

Sankat City: A saga of co-incidences!!

2009-07-15T22:53:00.004+05:30

I just watched movie "Sankat City" starring KK menon, Anupam Kher and Rimi Sen.

In movie anupam is Don and KK is a car thief. Story moves around a lots of characters. Movie is all about chasing money and how so many characters are trying to pay back loan to don (Anupam). I don't want to write story otherwise it would make more loss to producers (Already they were feeling losses).

Whole movie is a saga of co-incidences. It remind me novel "Anything for you ma'am" where there are so many coincidences that one of my friend that time said that it is too difficult to digest the story. Same is the case with Sankat City, script is tight but so many sequences and scenes changes so fast that it is difficult to catch the pace and to understand the role of every character.

I recommend movie to those who are hard core fans of Hindi movies and watch it online good print is available.

Poetry

2009-07-15T11:13:00.000+05:30

रंग दुनिया ने दिखाया है निराला, देखूँ,
है अँधेरे में उजाला, तो उजाला देखूँ
आईना रख दे मेरे हाथ में,आख़िर मैं भी,
कैसा लगता है तेरा चाहने वाला देखूँ
जिसके आँगन से खुले थे मेरे सारे रस्ते,
उस हवेली पे भला कैसे मैं ताला देखूँ

Hectic days !!!

2009-07-14T19:35:00.003+05:30

"Hectic" word that I often use to fool friends showing that yes! I am doing something...But suddenly it has taken the life out of me. I am worried when I put this much of efforts in my life (except first few days in IMT, PDP days :) )

Schedule for trimester is very hectic in July as having classes from 8.30 am till 9.00 pm. Classes like PDM takes much more than it seems. You need to well read the cases, supported readings and "mentally prepared" to attend a single class. I don't know how much will I gain from Brand Management course but I am sure at the end of this course I will be killed by CBBE ( Not Consumer Based Brand Equity but Cadaverous By Brain Explosion)

I am trying to study SPSS from last 6 months(academic record say so...) and by end of every session it goes more complicated. Collegekhabar is a commitment that I do with myself only. I want to complete project in July but now it gonna be more difficult with as schedule. All this is happening only because of Strategy Course. Classes more SM are too much as course need to be completed in 10 days ( 3months course in 10 days, imagine the kind of pace this course will take) as taught by Prof Mallock from France (English guy). He need time to understand bunch of guys who need a insight for the sake of insight! (confusing!! even I remain confused in same way in his class)

Don't know what is lying more in this month....

NITs Ranking : 2009

2009-06-10T19:34:00.003+05:30

I am willing to share this article to help admission seekers in some sense.

Article goes like this: (Source : http://www.collegekhabar.com)

NITs Ranking: 2009

It is well known that after IITs, NITs are most sought colleges for admission in engineering streams. They are much ahead than any other engineering institute in terms of placements, faculties, infrastructure and more. After AIEEE 2009 we found many requests for helping students in ranking these institutes.

Many of admission seekers are confused over rankings of various NITs. We discussed with our team and on basis of placement during last past 5 years, infrastructure (future plans included), faculty - student ratio, industry interactions and workshops, industrial training and alumni network we tried to figure out some rankings.

Finally the ranking looks something like this.

Rank	Institute	Ranking
1	NIT Trichy	Trichy
2	NIT Warangal	Warangal
3	NIT Suratkal	Suratkal
4	MNNIT Allahabad	Allahabad
5	NIT Calicut	Calicut
6	MNIT Jaipur	Jaipur

Summer Internship Experience

2009-06-06T22:37:00.002+05:30

Summer Internship started after a awesome week spent with friends.

Doorstep Retail was my employer for this summer. For the first time I was doing some job. My project include designing a sales training module for the employees of the company also devising marketing strategies for the organization. Company's director was our project guide and we report directly under MD of the doorstep. In this summer for the first I travel a lot in buses, autos, tempos, cabs and rikshas. Convence was the biggest problem. Every time when I went to Gurgaon or Faridabad to visit a store I kept crying as summer was killing me. Really traveling in hot days in NCR is a lot trouble. I stayed with Aakash in Gurgaon.

I talked lot with employees as well as customers and got insight about retail business. I'm not that inclined toward retailing but definitely a exciting sector. Most memorable moment of entire 2 months was when we gave a marathon 4 hours presentation for sales training module.

We got also a lot of free time and I used to went to Ghaziabad and watch movies. This was a memorable experience and hope in future also I will get some challenging work to do.

AIEEE 2009, Online counselling choice preferences

2009-06-04T13:19:00.001+05:30

Congratulations to all students selected for Online Counselling !!

We are going to post soon the choice preferences ( a complete list of which branch and college to prefer first) provided by Aluminus of various NITs including MNIT Jaipur, NIT trichy, IIIT Hyderabad, DCE etc.

I am back on blogging

2009-05-19T01:58:00.002+05:30

I was lost in some way as I was not doing any blogging.

Last few days were really not that exciting for me. Summers in Delhi killing me like anything. Mercury is touching 43-44 C and political temperature is also rising as new cabinet will be sworned in few days.

Big development during these days is Manmohan Govt is back with huge support and "Left" wept. Laloo is out! So a new railway minister. Next few days will be very crucial in Indian political circuit and as well as important for corporate.

So hope for some big and good changes that will fight this recession time.

Kings Education: A great new coaching for CAT

2009-03-06T18:12:00.007+05:30

Hi Fellows,

Last week I come across with the news coming from Jaipur. One of very good friends of mine Sudipto (most of you must be knowing him) told me that he joined some CAT coaching institute as marketing head. I enquired details about the institute and came to know that even I know all the faculty members. They are the same who taught me when I was going TIME Jaipur for my MBA preparation. These faculty members are dynamic professionals, very knowledgeable, approachable and friendly as far as I know. I am posting some details of them too. I think you might me knowing them if you are/were in Jaipur and try to persue preparation for CAT.

Anil Sharma has done his B.Tech from IIT Roorkee. He taught me Maths part when I studied in TIME. With an inborn dexterity to play with numbers and a flair for higher mathematics, he is second to none in the country for teaching the quantitative techniques required for MBA entrance tests.

S. S. Bhati did his B. Tech from MNIT Jaipur (Ah! my college) and MBA from SYMBIOUS, Pune. he has his grip over the field of Mathematics and such is his passion for teaching his subject that he is often referred to as “Maths Wizard”. Winner of many awards at the national level, including the “INDRA GANDHI PRIYADARSHANI AWARD”.

R. K. Singh is a B.A(Honours), an MA and an MBA and is an alumnus of the famous institutions like St. Stephens & Hansraj College (Delhi) and IRMA (Gujrat). He is the one whom I suppose the best in his field. His teaching methods are very unconventional and very interesting!!

Anil Shrimali received his B.Tech from MBM College Jodhpur. Popularly known as the wizard of reasoning; he mesmerizes his trainees by teaching them quick fix solutions and simplification of seemingly intractable problems. He has a fetish for creating and solving agonising puzzles and head spinning problems.

I think one must consider Kings Education a good option to prepare for MBA Entrance.

Pink chaddis Vs Pink Condoms

2009-02-11T18:55:00.006+05:30

The Pink Chaddi Campaign

"CONSORTIUM OF PUBGOING, LOOSE AND FORWARD WOMEN".

The Pink Chaddi Campaign kicked off on 5 February 2009 to oppose the Sri Ram Sena. The campaign is growing exponentially (20,035 members at this point in the life of our Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women) and that is not surprising. Most women in this country have enough curbs on their lives without a whole new franchise cashing in with their bully-boy tactics. They campaign their protest by sending the Sri Ram Sena some love. They will send them some PINK CHADDIS (some number has been expected to increase in thousands) .

Make sure they are PINK. Send them off to the Sena. This is their peaceful way to protest SENA about what they did in Mangalore Pub.

THE PINK CONDOM CAMPAIGN

"CONSORTIUM OF ASSERTIVE AND PROUD HINDUS WHO ARE SICK OF INDIAN SICKULARS CONSPIRING TO ATTRIBUTE EVERY VICE IN THE SOCIET

Y TO HINDUISM"

This campaign has been started as a response to some self righteous and progressive people who started the Pink Chaddi campaign. They claim that they are more democratic and transparent that the Pink Chaddi walas. They don’t claim inflated figures of support. There is a poll at the right hand corner of this page, which shows how many people support us, and how many don’t!

They say that 'Condoms' are necessary to save yourself from AIDS and to lead a progressive and secular life and as Pink Chaddi walas claim themselves to be pubgoing, loose and forward - a condom will help them maintain being that.

They claim that they are the ordinary Hindus, who don’t bark on television channels to defend their faith, but they definitely get hurt when some people bark against their faith.

Now it is big question which campaign you want to support , one is proactive for women’s right in country and another is saying that something should to done to protect culture and believes of the Hinduism. Choice is Ours!!

Pune Trip

2009-01-20T19:04:00.008+05:30

There are always something in life that can't be measured. Meeting friends is such a feeling. Pune & Mumbai trip was very awesome. I met friends, find some new developments and plan for next visit. Many things has been changed since I left MNIT, but still one thing is firm standing that I possess best friends in this world. I miss Shiv a lot.

Nothing had changed in Chandak. When I met for first time in Pune he was in usual Chandak's outfit like a Jeans which was not washed from centuries and a T-shirt difficult to analyse its color as it was that dirty. But now when he go outside he dressed well these days. I met Swati too. It was great to meet her. She take us for treat (I was bored of being there at Chandak's flat whole day and thus I see some market place in Pune)

Naveen was completely different. This time he seems to be pretty serious. Bhai ne ek job bhi doodh li hai. Pareek was in his pecular style and Ketan is becoming serious every day. He takes tension for Job and work. I got very little time there somehow I manage to meet Nandini and Parul. Nothing is changed in them. So in nutshell nothing much changed (Vaise bhi it will all take time, abhi waqt hi kitna hua hai- 6-7 months!!)

Yogi is still in form. In Ispaat Rathore's place is spectacular. Rathore is living in Grande` casa. He was very concern about future. I am attaching some of unforgettable moments...

1st Day in Pune!!

2008-12-26T02:37:00.005+05:30

Being together with friend is a treat but being together with friend with chandak... is party in heaven. I got what I want here in Pune, a complete day with him after 7 months. I ruined my life in Ghaziabad but coming here and how I had been treated by both Chandak and Naveen is worth being thee in Pune. Naveen is always close to heart so there is nothing to mention more but party at DSK was just great. I also got encounter with police with Paro (He is used to this kind of stuff) and as usual he made them crazy(Paro jo shuru hoa to khatm hone ka naam nahi leta), we save 400 bucks.

I hope in coming days they will not disappoint me and lemme to live my dream to roam around come true.

This girl made me cry

2008-12-13T04:20:00.004+05:30

Music has the power to cause emotions to well up within us. These feelings are gripping - often irresistible - and seem to emerge from nowhere. After viewing this video I cried(I don't want to admit that , but yeah some tears certainly were there in my eyes). This shows a determination, will to fight destiny. It is hard to believe that a girl ( some people say special child) can fight against all odd and can sing so well. Her mother help her in very aspect and that is why we often says that mother is GOD.

This is 4.18 am in morning and I usually do not write anything this time. But after watching this video I cannot resist myself to share it with you. Watch the talent... Watch a True INDIAN IDOL

Effect of Diversification on Firm’s Performance: An Indian perspective

2008-12-11T01:53:00.004+05:30

Effect of Diversification on Firm’s Performance: An Indian perspective - A research study

Abstract:

Despite considerable attention being devoted to the relationship between corporate diversification and firm performance, much of prior research has generally assumed away the impact of differences is in the organizational form of firms. This research study analyses the association between diversification and firm performance in a sample of up to 87 large Indian firms listed in Bombay Stock Exchange. Firm performance is measured by profitability ratios and for that ROCE and RONW is considered. Results from the sample show that more focused firms have higher profitability. This result controls for firm specific effects and other determinants of profitability. The results may indicate that listed firms may be under closer scrutiny and competitive pressures that ensure, on average, that these firms are at their optimal degree of diversification.

Keywords: diversification,performance, firm.

This is research study that I done in Business Research Methods course. Yet in IMT you have to do so many researches and projects yet this is only one in this sem that I was dedicated to. I am also posting a link of complete PDF file for reference.

Google Ads for Terrorism Spotted on Mumbai Stories

2008-12-07T02:22:00.002+05:30

Unbelievable google ad spotted on the site IBN Live, is a typical example of the tactlessness of automated ad targeting systems.

If You we can't wake now we can't do it ever

2008-12-01T21:34:00.005+05:30

Islamic Terrorism or incompetent politicians:

“I am afraid now the war is raging inside my house and not on the country’s borders. My PM is telling me not to be afraid and to keep calm and maintain peace and harmony. He is not angry and his body language conveyed that everything is under control. But my PM has Z Plus security which is perhaps why he is not agitated. I am an ordinary citizen. How can I remain calm when my own house is on fire?”

This is the time to take actions against both terrorism as well as our incompetent politicians. Mumbai blast are not simple terror attack as there were many previously but they raise question that what we learn from past mistakes: Nothing. Our beloved politicians will take it as a chance of doing politics as elections are there in 5 states and everyone got a Mudda.

I am f**king tired of hearing these words again and again : ‘Terror has no religion’, ‘opposition (BJP) is deriving political mileage’, ‘Shivraj Patil was incompetent’, ‘Pakistan is the mastermind and must be taught a lesson’, ‘POTA is no solution’, ‘we are a soft state’, ‘all governments/politicians are the same’, ‘intelligence needs to be beefed up’, etc.

Is there any law exist in this country? We always shout 'India is great' . Is this greatness? What the f**k I am writing about ? Will any change can happen? People can say what are you doing by writing this , for them answer is simple I am frustated and I am simply writing my anger and frustration.

Attention all politicians of my country see this video and analysis how much anger is there in general public's heart. Where was Mr. CM of Maharastra that night, leave CM any political leader was there? None. Turning down Home minister is not the solution. You people tell us how many attacks US face after 9/11? Is terror not unpredictable for them? Yes it is unpredictable yet they made two war fronts just for 3000 lives and in India we lost much more than them and still there is no surety that this will not happen again.

Mumbai Blast

2008-11-27T16:27:00.005+05:30

ATTACK, ATTACK AND ATTACKS

Again terror strike in our economic capital: Mumbai. This leave behind (not even behind war is on) so many questions. Is a regular terror activity (We become to used to these happenings that I am using word regular) or its a Open War? This act of terror left behind question that who all are responsible for present situation: Pakistan, politicians, IB, Muslims, Hindus who all?? This kind of audacious attack takes months of meticulous planning. And as usual our “revered” intelligence agencies were caught napping. This disgusting scenario had become so commonplace, that I wonder, what the fuck is the need for these intelligence agencies, when they fail at a time when we needed them the most.

As I am going through various news channels i can quote that at least 101 people have been killed in attacks by gunmen in Mumbai. The attacks have taken a tragic toll on the city's top police brass: The high-profile chief of the anti-terror squad Hemant Karkare was killed; Mumbai's additional commissioner of police (east) Ashok Kamte was gunned down outside the Metro; and celebrated encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar was also killed. This a great loss to the country as such as we lose brave fighters in this war.

Question still remain same: when will this end and who all are responsible? Most of us blaming Muslims but on going shor of Hindu terror act (Sadhvi Pragya case) will make picture pretty delusions. Why Muslims are targeted? I have really good friends among them but I never come across such thinking reflected ever in their thoughts (and I know most of you too). My one of very good friend use to greet me on Diwali even when is away from country and sailing in sea , where you have to use a satellite phone to make a call. Is this act of such people? I don't think so. Then why we blame entire community. Is it justified? I left with so many unanswered questions. Present attacks are clear cut indicator of Pakistan's hand in situation. terrorist came through channel of sea, what was our coastguard doing??Were they sleeping as govt is sleeping. I don't think now there is any question to discuss that how we need act like POTA more than before.

Even in this tragic situation politicians are trying to take leverage of situation. I got a message from some one 'Vivek' (As usual you cant see mgs sender's details). Message was in good spirit but still have political affluence. Message was: Enough is enough, the terrorists have not only attacked mumbai but our national pride. India can no longer afford a weak Government. Mehangi Padi Congress. What did these last words means?? Clearly someone is seeking an opportunity to curse congress indirectly. I never advocate that congress is going right, even they are among having one of very bad time of rule in India. They failed to curb Poverty, Inflation, Depression in economy and most importantly national security. So many Blast!! Can we say there is a govt in India. Have you ever heard of any terror attack after 9/11 in US?? No. Why cant be we so firm in fighting terror act.

I am signing off from post leaving many questions here and thousands in my mind...
God please save my country...
Jai Hind.

INS Tabar sinks Somali pirate ship

2008-11-24T23:38:00.004+05:30

The first time the INS Tabar encountered pirates was on November 11.

In a swift action, warship INS Tabar intervened to thwart two near-simultaneous attacks by pirates on an Indian cargo vessel MV Jag Arnav and a Saudi flag carrier MV NCC Thihama within 25 nautical miles of each other.

The Indian warship received an SOS from the Saudi ship at around 1000 hours after a group of pirates surrounded it. Marine commandos on board the INS Tabar flew out in an armed helicopter and launched an assault on the attackers.

I am a poet and I never knew it...

2008-11-12T03:37:00.007+05:30

My first poem:

.......

My Fear

There is a love that I wish to see

But, there is fear reaching out to more

My life is in a constant change more than in puberty

At times, I do not know who can comfort me.

......

I tried to hide behind a door

Today I lost that opening key

While my music plays,

These thoughts of fear will pass over me.

.......

It's dark versus light

Dark's winning the fight

I'm feeling it lately

The darkness had taken me

.......................................................................................................................

Many more to come...

Bye Bye Saurav Chandidass Ganguly!

2008-11-12T03:12:00.004+05:30

Farewell to Prince!!

Saurav Ganguly, popularly known as Prince of Kolkata, Dada (big brother), or Maharaj (King), or Bengal Tiger, has played the last day of international cricket today. With this one golden era came to an end.

I am not that hard core fan of prince but no one can underestimate Saurav Ganguly in Indian cricket. He is noted as most successful Indian Captain till date, he is legend that creates fear in opponents mind whether he was batting , bowling or team was playing under his captaincy. Even critic like me who usually fight with friends about his declining performance appreciate One thing is for sure, he was a giant. The ability of Dada to come out from the difficult situations in life and in cricket ground was superb.

He start his career with test century against England at Mecca of cricket: LORDS. He was many times in news for discrimantory decisions by BCCI for his position in team India, but he always have an urge to fight back. Coach of Ganguly said : Indian got indepence 60 years back but cricket in India got free only at NETWEST trophy when Ganguly putoff his shirt from balcony of Lords. This was Ganguly who never give up .

Once a advertisement was there on TV : Kanhi Aap mujhe Bhool to Nahi Gaye? That I laughed a lot about that silly Ad, but Today I can say that No one who even know ABCD of cricket can never forget this great man of acumen and always bring pride for India. Prince you will remain always in our heart and I hope even after your retirement you will continue to give your best to Indian Cricket...

Long Live Dada!!

A BIG DREAM: MISSION MOON - CHANDRAYAAN LAUNCHED SUCESSFULLY

2008-10-24T17:44:00.002+05:30

Indian Moon Mission: Chandrayaan I

On 21st Oct, 2008 at 6:22AM world wittessed the glory of Indian space program. India launch its first moon mission Chandrayaan-I despite inclement weather at the mission complex, Sriharikota.The other members of this global elite are the US, Russia, the European Space Agency, Japan and China. India is the sixth member of this club. Within minutes, the lift-off elevated India's position in the world. As dawn broke over Sriharikota, the mighty brown and white 44.4 metre tall four-stage Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rose from the launch pad to carry the 1,400 kg spacecraft 384,000 km away to the moon in the first leg of its mission.

Yesterday I got a mail from Shiv Singh which led to include this information also in this post. Behind the success of mission various PSU's are also involved. MECON ( My probable ex-employer) has major stake in this mission.It was a proud moment for Mecon because Chadrayaan take off from the launch-pad made by Mecon Ltd.The construction of the Rs 20 crore, 4-metre high mobile launch pad — which proudly supported India’s first moon mission — at Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota was executed by Mecon on a total turnkey that included design and detailed engineering of the equipment that was primarily manufactured by HEC.

“Mecon has built the first-of-its-kind launch pad, 82.5-metre long with four lighting conductors and several unique features."

This lunched has open the gateway to learn more about moon and led ISRO in a position where they can leverage the position of much strong Space mission agency in world and help them to generate more and more revenues.

Aiye Bharat Banayein: India Banao

2008-10-23T09:40:00.002+05:30

India Banao:
On 20th Oct, 2008 a public forum for political networking is launched by Mr. L.K. Advani along with some corporates. I too witnessed the event. Launch was in FICCI auditorium and I was excited about going there. India Banao! is a platform for young people to participate in public affairs. Demographically India is a young country with millions of ambitious, hard-working youth seeking a better tomorrow. However, many young people believe that neither India’s political system nor its leaders are addressing the issues that really matter to them. The India Banao! initiative provides a channel for young people to engage with India’s political leaders on youth-related issues. Welcome speech is delivered by Mr. Advani.

When I was back from there it left several questions in my mind. Is this forum is not an arm of BJP?
Is this forum is talking that Advani Banao= India Banao ?

Answers for these question may be yes. I attended the launch with pure intensions but found that it is more inclined towards BJP. As such I'm not against BJP but I'm expectin more that at least this forum will not be biased and will definately represent the youth of this country. The party’s press release said India Banao! has been founded by three accomplished Indian professionals: Sanjeev Sanyal, economist and author, Jayant Sinha, investor and columnist, and Sheetal Talwar, film producer. It seems that the initiative supplements the BJP youth wing’s “yuva jodo” plan to reach down to the booth level to project Advani and recruit at least two youth per booth.

Questions raised: Most of questions raised in event remained un-answered. Advaniji try to skip nearly all questions as most of them nearly asking clear views about their agenda about Bad performing politicians, hours wasted in parliament, de-investment policies and Mr. Advani has some political restriction to answer them in front of media.

I can state that expections are not meet....

Donate Blood Save Life...

2008-10-19T23:30:00.005+05:30

MADF (Make a difference Foundation), the social club of IMT Ghaziabad conducted a blood donation camp in collaboration with LIONS Club of New Delhi South at the IMT Campus on 16th October , 2008. I was responsible for operations of this event. This is for the first time in IMT I kept myself so active. It is not east yo mobilize people for this noble task but our team try their level best to pass the information to fellow students. Students and faculty participated in large numbers and the number of donors stood at 170.

Dr. B. S. Sahay, Director, IMT Ghaziabad and Mr. Anurag Anand, coordinator, LIONS Blood Bank inaugurated the event with Lighting the Lamp Ceremony. While inaugurating the camp, the director stressed the importance of mobilizing the youth towards the cause of blood donation and thereby serving the society.

“A Blood Donor saved my life” was the slogan used by the MADF to motivate the students to donate blood. The campaign involved a series of posters and banners which were put up all over the campus. We use presentations and audio video ads to create awareness; the most influential was the stunning street play highlighting the importance of blood donation.

Along with this blood donation camp we also put stall for the sale of SHASHAKT- Candle making project. This project is for women empowerment by making them eligible for pursue candle making as for their earning.

MADF (Make a difference foundation) is a forum run by the students of IMT Ghaziabad. The objective of the foundation as reflected in its name, is to make a positive difference to the society in general , through synergized and sustained efforts .

Convocation Likely be on 15th Nov: What the hell !!

2008-10-14T21:09:00.003+05:30

Convocation is not just about the award of degree but it is the time when one get chance to reunite, cherish the past moments, wearing the rob and feeling proud of holding the degree (the greatest achievement in one's life). There are rumors that this year convocation @ MNIT is on 15th November. This will be my convocation i.e I will be the recipient of the degree of B.TECH. for which I was there for four years. I am waiting for this event very eagerly.

I was willing to meet my friends whom I havnt meet since long and suddenly this news spoils the mood. This trauma is about the date: 15th November, a day before CAT exam. Now I fear how many will turn up for the convocation day. Everyone is looking for bright career and management studies are becoming a important tool in this aspect. In this period of Economic recession ( some economists are considering situation worse than Great Depression of 1930s) everyone has a fear of job security so people are looking for admission in a management course. So it will be very hard for them to turn up for the convocation as they will miss their exam if they do so. Now I am fearing that will I able to meet my friends or cherish those moments when we were together in MNIT. As usual Institute Management is unaware about the important happenings around the corner. It seems they are doing it for the sake of organizing as it has become a part of every year's academic calendar.

From my blog I want to draw attention of both my collegues and MNIT's Management please look in matter. Friends it is the time to request Institute for shifting the date. I request our Director sir to please look in matter favorably.

A letter to Director:

Dear Sir,
I am Devendra Garg graduate (Metallurgical & Materials Engineering) from MNIT itself. Currently I am in first year of the post graduate program at Institute of Management Technology(IMT), Ghaziabad. Fortunately got into a management course from the college. Having a good time here. As few of juniors in the college told me that the institute is planning to have its 4th convocation, convocation for us (2008 Batch) on 15th November. I would like to bring to your notice that the CAT examination is already there on 16th Nov and most of us are appearing for the same, specially those who couldn't got through last year. So they in any case will not able to attend the day. Also most of the final year students will also be taking the test on the same day so there will not be a active involvement from them.
As you know this is one of the biggest event of the institute also the most awaited event for us. This is the only time when we will be meeting with our batch mates, our friends and the most important our college which we miss the most. I would like to request you to please reschedule it and give us the opportunity to rejoice with our loved ones.

Regards,
Devendra Garg
B. Tech (Metallurgical & Materials Engineering)

I hope authorities are looking this request...

Euphoria - Rocked IMT

2008-10-14T19:42:00.005+05:30

Passion, the Annual Management Fest of IMT Ghaziabad, is not just the flagship event. In fact, it is the epitome of student life at IMT.The evenings are the most awaited part of the day in Passion as they see many icons from the world of music and entertainment take centre-stage and enthrall the audience with their performance. And on 11th Oct there comes the D- Day, Euphoria was there in campus. This was a truly sizzling, Rocking night I ever been pass through.

God Bless Euphoria... As I got the honor to meet them. For this also thanks to low turn up for the event. Initially I thought that it will not gonna work and with public of 300 or something for band like Euphoria it seems very disheartening for the band. But I can tell you everyone there was so full of energy that each one is seems to complete the space for 20. I have no words for their performance. It was sizzling, Blistering, scalding, rocking performance. Palash seems insane to me, how a person with that much of energy can perform for 3 hrs continuously without any break. The essential honesty of the music and the lyrics remain true to heart and the eternal emotion binds the performance all together. Performance on Maeri and Mehfuz were just unimaginable. I wish that I can see more concert by them in near future.

IMT Rocks!!

A trip to Noida, wonderful weekend!

2008-08-31T18:23:00.002+05:30

Life is not that tough also as I realized when I entered in IMT. After few days past it seems pretty cool to be here. IMT is a place which give you enough room to do what ever you want to do. Time constraints are pretty less. People here are cooperative and enjoy life at full! After having pretty busy schedule for the week I decided to go Noida for some bash with hemant. Actually I also want to have show for Rock ON!!

As soon I reached there we left for Shipra Mall to book the ticket but housefull! We went to Spice mall house full! we went adlabs house full! we went citystage center house full! This is what sign were reading at every counter. How can a movie without SRK can appeal so much public? It shows there is something there. Then we decided to have dinner in a wonderful Italino Restaurent and we crunched on food as soon it came. We went back at 12 @ hemant's flat and I went sleep as soon I catch bed.
Next day (Sunday) I still want to see the movie so I decided to for tickets in Adlabs at TGIP and ask Archita too to come. She also want to watch the same flick so she agreed (may be meeting me was also there in her mind). Hemant suddenly got some work in office and refused to come. We got ticket for movie (my heart was dancing!!) Movie rocks... It simply based on theme
of Pink Floyd's rock classic Time :

You are young and life is long

And there is time to kill today

And then one day you find that

Ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run

You missed the starting gun

So I like movie very much and did she. We wander in TGIP. And suddenly I meet Param and Ganguu. That was so happy moment. Meeting old friends is a treat. I feel my trip complete. Then we did some shopping (Oooops!! I am doing that too much) After a complete fun day I came here in IMT and a party is waiting for me organized by class.

What a weekend to celebrate!

Singh is Kinng

2008-08-09T14:48:00.003+05:30

Singh is Kinng

Caution: This movie is not suitable to watch for all intellectuals and pseudo critic writers.

Singh is Kinng is for mass and total entertainment in 2 hour and some 15 minutes. (Finally we are making movies for shorter duration). Music is a grand treat if you in multiplex. Anees Bazmi, Akshay and Katrina is a combo means Super Hit.

You know the rules when you watch a hardcore entertainer: Just don't look for logic. If you do, too bad for you, for you would never enjoy a film of this genre and more specifically, SINGH IS KINNG. In this movie they too carry all elements of entertainment , fun and masti. No double sense dialouges, Wonderful Camera work, great scenes from Egypt and Australia and good screenplay. Though movie lacks any good story but it keeps scenes so moving you cant get bore even so. Though movie is in so many controversies reagarding potray of Sikh community but idea of sikh gangsters in Australia is itself unique and a scene is also there justifying the reason for so called sytlish Beard. Akshay is Style icon of the movie and OMPURI and Kirron Kher have done paisa vasool performance.

Want a joyride without taxing your brains? Board the SINGH IS KINNG wagon. At the box-office, the film will fetch a historical start. Blockbuster Hit

Terror attack in Ahmedabad- Serial Blasts

2008-07-27T03:16:00.003+05:30

I was shocked to see about serial blast in Ahmedabad as soon I turn on my computer today evening. The deadly serial bomb blasts on consecutive days in Bangalore and Ahmedabad have shown that the terrorists are confident of striking at will. 17 blasts in a row in 30 mins rocks the city. In two days 2 cities and lots of casualties question is that what the terrorist trying to do in this country. Their aim in crystal clear to evoke panic in whole country. How these fu**ers escape after doing as act in my country?

So who is blamed for these attacks, terrorists or Govt. who is not taking any serious steps in this sense. Life is coming on track after Jaipur attacks and these incidents in Bangalore and Ahmedabad shows that no place in safe in country. Terrorist are dong what so ever they want as per their will and Govt in still unable to trace them. One thing is common in these attacks is that all the states targeted are BJP ruled so blasts seem to be directed against the BJP-ruled states.

Blast in IT capital of the country was clearly with the intention to create fear in the mind of new entrants and companies to think for their steup in India. Steps should be taken rather blaming failure of IB in country by Govt. Both central and state govt should think in a co-ordinated manner to fight back and leave their political mileage aside. Politicians must begin to think above party politics if they really want to call themselves the leaders of this nation. Citizens should also play a role to fight against terrorism through their alertness.

My initial days in IMT...

2008-07-11T01:38:00.003+05:30

Life here in IMT is cool but I still have no friends as such...
I have twin sharing basis room. No one is allowed to go outside after 10pm(afterall it is Ghaziabad, UP ) but one can come any time. Hostels are good, Campus is Wifi, Girls can come to any room 24*7 (But boys can go to their rooms till 8.30pm). There is a DLP (like our GMP) remain open till 4am, Lib, comp lab are open for 24hr. (This is the stuff you can find in any damn B-school)
My first week in college was pretty hectic. I hardly slept whole week. It started officially at 5.10 am (as we had to do Yoga in morning, can you believe this! bloody nonsense!! ) and ends officially at 12.30am. In between I had breaks for breakfast(30 mins), Lunch (45 mins) and dinner(45 mins). Now comes PDP(Personality Development Program- as called by senoirs here) started at 12.30am and end nearly at 4.00am So if you are lucky you can sleep for an hour daily. I was sleeping in classes whole through the week. We had a outbound day in that week and that was the most interesting part of our orientation week. I had gone through activities like River crossing, Raffling, Few fun games etc. I'm attaching a few pics here.

At the end of week there was a culture night (culture here: work hard, party harder). There was a DJ night and it end at morning 5am as sun began to rise. Junta was dancing like anything. Whole atmosphere was very cool. After orientation week I was sleeping all through the day for 2 days. Now my timetable is pretty cool. Nothing much to do. I have classes from morning 8.30 to 1.30pm (thats it, if any extra class is not there)

After reading this post it seems life is pretty interesting in IMT but it is not.. I'm missing my classrooms in MNIT. I'm missing FRIENDS at MNIT. I'm missing late night parties , Thadi, GT , missing BMG, missing hostel 5, missing you, missing everyone who was close to me. It is pretty tough to find yourself in crowd of some very ambitious people (atleast for me it is difficult). And life here is not that easy, you have to do a lot assignments, presentations and aboveall STUDY Again.

Remove Virus in XP that Disables “Show Hidden Files”

2008-05-13T18:55:00.000+05:30

There is a certain virus that prevents XP users from viewing the hidden files.

The virus meddles with the ’Show hidden files and folders’ option in the Folder Options and the option keeps bouncing back to ‘Do not show hidden files and folders’, despite repeated trials.

Here is how you can set this problem right:

Navigate to the windows registry:
Go to Start menu
Click Run
Type regedit in the text box and then click Enter.

When the Registry Editor opens, perform the following steps:

Go to the following registry key:

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and then open Software.Under this navigate to: Microsoft -> Windows -> Current Version -> Explorer Then go to Advanced -> Folder -> Hidden -> SHOWALL
Delete the value CheckedValue.
(Its type should be REG_SZ and data should be 2 or 0.)

Create a new DWORD value called CheckedValue (same as above, except that the type is REG_DWORD).

Modify the value data to 1 (0×00000001).This should enable you to select the ‘Show hidden files and folders’ option without much problem.Do drop in comments if there are further queries and we shall try to find answers.

Thanks Giving Party!!

2008-05-13T00:33:00.003+05:30

How one want to celebrate his last few days in college?? Obvious answer is partying hard...

But this the moment which don't count night party but a treat/ thanks giving party to our dear teachers. Teachers who let me do my personal interests, who are so easily available for any problem, who make it sure that even by some amount of effort we people may not suffer or awarded by good grades, who understand our need and guide us with very valuable suggestions. When I come to college I found myself in dilemma about my branch but today I can stand strong that this department give me enough strength and ample opportunities to grow.

This is very unusual party no music as such but a lot of words from our teachers. I come to know most of them personally and the things of which I'm not aware of. SK Gupta Sir was a surprise package for us, his sense of humor is just superb. Agarwal sir seems to be most active and Narang sir was very emotional about the day.

Unsual stories and success mantras were enough to make party alive. even girls to get permission for late hours due to Ashok Sharma sir. So they also feel happy about it.
I will really gonna miss them, specially Agarwal sir, Narang sir, YVSS Prasad sir(!!) & SKG sir.

I really gonna miss this place, I gonna miss my college days.

My BTP - a big MESS!!

2008-04-25T23:13:00.009+05:30

My BTP: (B.Tech Project) is seemed to be big MESS!! We are putting ourselves hard (not really) on final year B.Tech project. Our project is on - "Study of various variables in cementation of copper on iron". First few days we tried to come to common analysis method for determination of copper in sulfate solution. After a lot discussion we come a method that I'm stating below:

Take copper sulfate powder and dissolve in a water completely. Add about 2 grams of KI in it. Solution will become brown. Titrate it against N/10 sodium thiosulfate. When solution become faint in yellow color add freshly prepared Starch in it, solution will become blue. Continue the titration till solution become white. Calculate the amount of sodium thiosulfate consumed.

% Cu= N/10 sodium thiosulfate consumed * 0.6345 / amount of copper sulfate ( in grams)

Cementation reaction: Cuso4+ Fe = Feso4 + Cu (On iron)

We perfomed this experiment many times. Prerna help me through her presence and cold water. Chandak & Shiv tried to be there in lab and that is enough for me. They are also putting efforts to complete the stuff, afterall it is their project too. Prachi, Nandu and Parul are also doing some experiments in same lab so sometimes we feel happy that we are not the only one who are suffering.

After doing many analysis test on different samples every time we got the result which was absurd. Even in samples we are not getting any results. Our project guides Narang sir and SKG sir everyday instruct us to do different what we have done in that day. So it is becoming a complete messsss now. I dont know how we will going to complete it. God save us we have to write the report too.

Rajasthan Royals Team Anthem - Halla Bol

Rajasthan Royals - Halla Bol

2008-04-22T01:44:00.010+05:30

Rajasthan Royals vs Punjab Kings XI
Rajasthan Royals Rocks!!

Breathtaking – if there’s one word to describe the match of the DLF Indian Premier League (IPL) that took place at Jaipur yesterday, that would be just the right word. This is my first experience of any 20-twenty cricket match in stadium. SMS Stadium is completely occupied. I purchased a 500/- ticket in 250/- only as they were selling them at lower price due to no rush. But soon as this price was lowered every ticket is sold out. We reached stadium before 1 hour of starting time of the match.

Ila Arun performed the anthem of Rajasthan Royals. Whole atmosphere was just fascinating. Dance by Sameera Reddy was too sexy and what more I can say: बस मज़ा ही आ गया . IPL is Sheer Entertainment . The Redskins Cheerleaders, dressed in red, yellow and white, and flashing their red pompoms, were an instant hit among the spectators. Style razzmatazz, scurrying lasers, resplendent fireworks and dancers/cheerleaders from around the world, set the tone for the tournament.

(Photo courtsey: indiatimes.com)

Match:
Nail Bitter
Rajasthan Royals romped to a six-wicket win against Kings XI Punjab in the sixth Indian Premier League match (IPL) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The Jaipur team chased the 167-run target, set by the Punjab team, at the loss of four wickets in 18.1 overs. For the home team, Shane Watson slammed his first IPL fifty, as he scored an unbeaten innings of 76 runs. In their match here at Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Shane Warne cast a spell on Punjab's batsmen, finishing with 3-19 in his four overs.

Preity's prayers fails to show colors @ IPL
Preity and Ness may be upset with their team's defeat but the match was a pura paisa wasool for the crowd as they got to witness a spectacular innings. But it is only the beginning and more games, more entertainment and more twists and turns will be seen in the coming matches. So, Preity should not be disheartened.

My IIM shillong interview experience

2008-04-19T23:58:00.003+05:30

Hi everyone

In first round there was a GD based on a case study: 5 mins to read and think. 15 mins to discuss and 5 mins to summerize.
Case: There is railway dept in some swapiland and there were a lots of complaints from customers as well as media about punctuality of trains. So MD appointed Robert to solve the problem. He gave him one year to solve. I told him if he succeeded all credits will be his if failed he is responsible.

Robert take survey and called all drivers and station master and warned them if they are not in schedule they will be fined. When it was nearly to complete the year he come to know that nothing changed as such. Drivers and SM blames bad track and old engines.
Meanwhile he was called for review meeting with MD.

Moments - the annual photographic exhibition @ MNIT Jaipur

Photography can be a means of capturing special moments, fascinating places, interesting objects or even captivating faces. But beyond that, there's also another dimension to a photograph. When delving deeper into the pixels, it triggers thoughts and expressions that go much beyond the frame. This is the same thing one can notice at MOMENTS -08.

Photographs are categorized in categories like Campus life, Nature, Issues, Abstract, Engineering Marvels , Portraits and story with photographs. Nearly more than 200 hundreds of piece of work is shown on the walls of exhibition hall. Some of these photos are such that one can be amused that these are clicked by engineering students not by a professional photographer. Photos in abstract category are much better. They really seems to be very professional.

A very interesting story by Gurudatta is worth mentioning. This story have 8 pictures of Dheeraj Agarwal (Neta) doing some stunt on a tree. Caption for the story is "हम आज भी बन्दर हैं ". Story is descriptive in a very nicely written poem. These photo seems to be funny but carries important message that where we are heading for. I will publish the whole story with pictures soon.

A interesting thing happen with me is that due to some reasons i was not able to submit my entries still I think I was too able to make my presence in the exhibition. I'm posting some of them for your viewing .Please lemme know whether they are good enough to be there or not.

Review - Krazzy 4

2008-04-11T16:13:00.009+05:30

In one word - A bit bore

I went for the movie for first show. I found Jaideep Sen's directorial debut more thriller than comedy.
Plot of the movie is on four madmen of varying mental disability out on the town and involved in a kidnapping. Movie has Angry Arshad, Freedom-Fighter Rajpal, Irrfan the Compulsive Cleaner and Menon the Mute, all heading out to watch an India-England cricket match on Independence day, something Dr Juhi Chawla thinks would teach them the value of teamwork.

Doctor Juhi is then kidnapped by some cops as they want that she prove Mukesh Rishi ( terrorist) mentally ill so that he can be easily made free from hospital. Also her husband also involve in this conspiracy. These four crazzy men after a lot of boring sequels finally open it all. There are a couple of well-conceived sequences, like a mall-full of shoppers standing at attention during the national anthem hitting out at goons for not doing the same, and the idea of a begging song, but the jokes are lost in the execution.

First half of movie is seriously boring as Comedy is not that situational and also fail to catch viewers nerves. Second half is more promising as Rajpal and Irrfan are cracking some madness that really made people laugh.

What that should discuss here are ITEM tracks. Movie has three songs-- one on Rakhi Sawant - has skinny show , nothing special about music , Second on SRK and last one on Hrithik. This Hrithik number is seemed to alarmingly have a 'bit of a Michael Jackson thing going on'. SRK's track has very poor choreography. I'm searching who choreographed this track?

I said, it's not horrible. You can watch the film without cringing.

I rate this movie **

From last few days or I say from nearly a month I'm not posting anything to this blog. I'm working on another blog on wordpress which is my tribute to Hindi Poetry.

Past few months in my life are not that great as I'm expecting. These are the months of Music and drama in college so time passed very quickly. I love such events. Rajasthan also celebrated his 60th anniversary.

Some how in last few days a build up an interest in hindi poetry. I like to learn more about it. My next post will cover that part too.

HongKong Sixes @ MNIT

2008-02-10T22:55:00.000+05:30

Hongkong sixes:
This name seems very unusual but true this is the Cricket tournament going in MNIT campus these days. This tournament catching the nerve of everybody present in the campus.
Some silent features: Matches are played by Tennis ball instead of Leather one
Ground prepared for it very short
12-12 overs matches No run for leg byes
Important: Every team must have a Girl- Manager. These managers are authorized for toss not captain (Strange!!!)
Every team have 11+1 players, 1 coach and 1 manager

Nearly 40 teams get registered for the event. Many more were in rows to get register but registration had been stopped because there were sufficiently enough already.
I too coached MKB but we lost in very first match.

Highlight: Bhokalies Vs Gurillas (Bokali lost the match)
Favorites: Patliputra XI (This time Bihari's in the campus get a very strong team and strong contender to win the tournament.
Few pictures taken during different matches:

Bhokali's Vs Gorilla's

What a event !! Biltzchalag 2008

2008-02-06T14:56:00.000+05:30

BLITZSCHLAG, the national level techno cultural fest of MNIT Jaipur showcases the talent of the students, be it practical or artistic. The fine knowledge is put to test with the formal and grid events. An enthralling experience awaits with the lithium and the aesthetic aroma for the fun and frolic.

This year is proven to be the best one ever. These are the three days of anxiety, excitement, fun & competition. I enjoyed every moment of this event. This is difficult to summarize it in word. Taking part in RANGOLI competition is really a very new experience to me. I think Junta should continue with the event in upcoming years with same enthusiasm and participation.
Ramba- Samba was at its ever best and "War of DJ's" (A competition that tests the participant musical knowledge, as well as his understanding of rhythm and beats.)became my favorite.

I wish that I can again be its part next year (hey hey I want my degree this year only)

Dead Poets Society- A movie worth watching!!

2008-02-06T14:26:00.001+05:30

Dead Poets Society:
This a movie worth watching. I saw this one on last Saturday and I'm certain that every movie lover must watch this one. Brilliant acting by William Robins & superb script.
I'm writing plot of movie here and recommending all to watch:

Painfully shy Todd Anderson has been sent to the school where his popular older brother was valedictorian. His room-mate, Neil, although exceedingly bright and popular, is very much under the thumb of his overbearing father. The two, along with their other friends, meet Professor Keating, their new English teacher, who tells them of the Dead Poets Society, and encourages them to go against the status quo. Each, in their own way, does this, and are changed for life.

Happy New Year !!!!

She isn't quite the same, you realise immediately as the megastar takes on precise steps in a Flashdance act, all legwarmers and right-angle pirouettes. She's older, and not the kind of sexy we are used to these days. Conditioned to hearing hard dhaks from inside our shirts at her every thumka, the first few seconds of this comeback film leave us nearly devastated. After all its a Madhuri's Jalwa.

Aaja Nachle is a warm, well-intentioned and competently acted happy extravaganza - except, it fails to engage. Madhuri constantly and inimitably infuses life into Anil Mehta's directorial debut, yet this predictable film, while watchable, ends up --The movie in saying nice but a bit boring in some of the parts...
Aaja Nachle is a tragically half-baked film, bringing up questions and situations and interests, and then forgetting about them. The town is easily bullied into love, rebellion, defiance and disgust. Everything logiclessly works out with far too much convenience, even for a formulaic mainstream megastar vehicle, which this isn't. There is, however, a rather superbly done Laila-Majnu musical towards the end, a solid and most entertaining half hour -- although it might seem exhausting after the rest has dragged so much.

Prison Break - Awesome!!!!!!!

2007-10-05T19:39:00.000+05:30

I finally started viewing Prison Break series. I never like TV serials as Indian Tv not promise much. But for Prison Break I have not words. This thriller is even better than any Hollywood movie. I rate this 9.9/10. I have seen 10 episode in a row till now in a day and I feel unrestricted by any mean to watch rest. I just cant wait for more, I'm planning to bunk the class and to complete season 1 by tomorrow.

Story line: Lincoln Burrows is on death row for the murder of the vice president's brother. He insists he's innocent and only his brother Michael Scofield believes him. As an engineer who helped design the prison where Lincoln is being held, Michael takes drastic measures to help his brother. He gets himself arrested and sent to the same prison so that with his knowledge of the building the two of them can escape together. However, while inside, Michael discovers a massive conspiracy that is determined to see Lincoln's sentence carried out. Breaking out will be more difficult than he thought, but he's still going to try.

Get- together 2007- Brij Mandal Group

"Rocking" Get-together this year can be summed up in this word. I reached late in event. After so much drama before GT, it went pretty fine. II year manage it quite well. Food was very good. Dj was quite enjoyable. Everybody was dancing in full swing. Girls this year too show some in enthu in the event too. Credit goes to better management, but still II year require some basic thought of handling the seniors well. I'm posting some pics here for memory.

India crowned Twenty20 world champions- My experiences

2007-09-25T01:23:00.000+05:30

"Play without pressure, play to enjoy the game, express yourself, and don't worry about the results." That has been the mantra for Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Indian team over the last ten days, and the results of that philosophy have been nothing short of spectacular. This Indian team has shown the ability to hold their nerve in crunch situations and, quite appropriately, this quality shone through again in the biggest game of the tournament.

This format of cricket will going to be most popular in near future. Each and every ball is pulse breaking. This is the most enjoyable part of the Cricket. Finally we wins against our traditional opponent. India play well through-out the tournament.
My place for watching the match was tv room, it was roaring like anything. Every ball was creating a lot noise, one can resemble it like real viewing in ground even more than that. When India won everybody stand up and started dancing. Nothing can be hear up to 100 mts or so. It was great feeling to watch that match in such a atmosphere. Today when India reached only up to 157 runs the message by Kaushal is worth mentioning -
"Dont worry
Chidi naal te Baaz ladavan, Tan Guru Govind Singh naam dharavan"
This really made me to think that We will surely win. Also one of message by Prerna is that " she is watching the match today so India is on back foot" when it seems easy for Pak to achieve the target suddenly change in to that India won because she was watching the match is really funny. After the match my mobile is flooded with congratulation messages.
I think that when Shahrukh was cheering the Indian team, we should invite Sunny Deol to demolarize and thrash Pakistani team with a hand pump.

Celebrate and enjoy. Director should announce a holiday to celebrate it.

Celebrations all over

2007-09-25T01:13:00.000+05:30

Asia Cup Victory in Hockey
Nehru Cup Victory in Soccer
Future Cup Victory over SA 2-1
Test Series Victory over England after 21 years
Now 20-20 World Champion

We lost Nat-West final after a great come back because of the dubious umpiring in the final by a Pakistani Umpire. India clinched the inaugural Twenty20 cricket World Cup after a thrilling five-run victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in the final in Johannesburg.In a match that saw fortunes fluctuate till the dying moments, the young Indian team scored 157 for five and then held its nerve to dismiss Pakistan for 152 with just three balls to spare. It's been a dream run for India, doubly unexpected because, coming into the tournament, the expectations were so low.

Chak De India

2007-09-25T01:06:00.000+05:30

India set a final date with Pak

2007-09-23T02:14:00.000+05:30

India stunned favourites Australia by 15 runs on Saturday to set up a mouth-watering final against Pakistan in the Twenty20 world championships.

This is really a great match to watch. Whole Hostel 5 is Jampacked. Only two TV' s are showing match for 1500 guys, one may be in GH. GMP is giving her best service by LIVE telecast of World twenty20 cup as food at that place sucks!! What a finish, everybody was stunned after India's win.In a humdinger of a semi-final, India rattled up 188 for 5 in their allotted 20 overs and then held their nerve to restrict Australia to 173 for 7 and set up a title clash with arch-rivals Pakistan in Johannesburg on Monday.

Yuvraj Singh smashed 70 off 30 balls as India, electing to take first strike at the jam-packed Kingsmead, made a challenging 188-5 and then restricted Australia to 173-7 in a rousing semi-final. Australia, needing 27 off the last 12 balls, were kept down to five runs in the 19th over bowled by left-arm seamer Rudra Pratap Singh and six runs in Joginder Sharma's last over. Sharma, who was hammered for 31 runs in his first two overs, was gambled for the final over by Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and came good with two wickets at the end. So Indian team really deserve great applause for their tremendous efforts & success.

India’s chances in the Twenty20 Cup

2007-09-14T10:50:00.000+05:30

India after losing series to England, reach SA for twenty-20 World Cup, This news catching headlines in nearly all the papers. Is there ant real chance for India to win this world cup? Absence of Tendulkar, Dravid & Ganguly become quite important when we consider Indian chances.

In India, cricket lovers are keeping their fingers crossed over the question of India’s chances in this first twenty-20 world cup. India’s interest in this form of cricket has been Luke warm so far. While most of the international teams have already played quite a few number of such matches among themselves, India can boast of having played only one international match so far and that too more than 9 months ago. Even Kenya and Bangladesh have played more such matches. It is to India’s credit that although inexperienced, they recorded an emphatic 6 wickets victory over South Africa Africa in the former’s debut match!

The “new look” Indian team which will participate in the September 11-24 showpiece, will also be without the names like Zahir Khan, Munaf Patil, Ramesh power. The mercurial Mahendra Singh Dhoni will lead the team with the dashing Yuvraj Singh as his deputy. Other known faces of the Indian team which will be seen in the T-20 world cup are Virendra Singh Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa, Dinesh Kartic, Ajit Agarkar, Piyush Chawala, S.Sreesanth and Joginder Sharma. Rohit Sharma of Mumbai and Irfan’s brother Yusuf will complete the 15 member squad. As is clear from the list of the players, the Indian team will be one of the most under-prepared ones to participate in this world cup. The players had hardly any opportunity to adjust themselves in the format of T-20 cricket. More than half of the 15 member squad was busy playing test and one day cricket in England till recently, 8th September 2007 to be exact. There is a fear that these players might already be very tired and jaded as there already away from their home for over a couple of months.

For some of the players of the India team, the tournament will be a great opportunity to rehabilitate themselves in the Indian test or one day squads. This is very true with test discards – Virendra Sehwag, Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh. The tournament also opens up opportunities for all rounders like Yusuf Pathan and Joginder Sharma. The Indian test and one day teams will soon be in the re-building process and Gautam Gambhir, robin Uthappa, Dinesh Kartik who are already in the Indian team, should use this T-20 world up championship to cement their places in the national squad for the bigger versions of the game.

Innovations in Cricket

2007-09-14T10:32:00.000+05:30

This article appearing on the Telegraph, discusses how the Aussies are working on new technologies on the bat, to increase the dimensions of the sweet spot and to reduce shock and vibration arising out of the shot. As per this article, the handle is equipped with “electro-mechanical sensors and a vibration-absorbing synthetic material which converts shockwaves into heat and dampens vibration”. The article further goes on to state that the new bat will not contravene any of the existing ICCs laws unlike Ponting’s graphite bat. Recently, the Aussie Vice-Captain, Adam Gilchrist was also in the news for using a squash ball in his glove during the course of his mammoth 149 against Sri Lanka in the ICC World Cup finals. Even fielding has not been spared.

However, the point of this article is not to discuss these innovations and their rights and wrongs but to forewarn the Indian authorities that the Aussies and their ilk are not content with only winning all there is in Cricket but are professional enough to look beyond competition and change the way the sport is played. Not that I agree with it, but Cricket cannot afford to bury its head for long and to compete with other modern sports will be forced to innovate. So when the time comes for change and like football we must not be caught with our shoes off, literally. This also shows how much the Aussies and the Sri Lankans (Jayasuriya and Sangakkara also used the graphite bats), think ahead of their times and hence no wonder are at the top of the sport. Compare this with India, where we still keep talking about change, while Indian juniors still rough it out on mud flats across the country.

With the way things have been going on, unless we change our mindset rapidly and begin thinking about the game rather than going through the motions, we would soon see Cricket join the likes of hockey and myriad other sports which live more on borrowed glory from the past than bask in the expectancy of a glorious future.

Till then, enjoy…

Training @ RSP

2007-06-24T13:25:00.000+05:30

Welcome to Rourkela- RSP
We reached Rourkela on 19th May. Swati was there to welcome us. Swati's dad arrange all for our stay. We boys were given a flat. We started training from 21st as soon Nandini arrived. Our traing started from OBBP ( ORE BEDDING AND BLENDING PLANT), Swati's dad is the DGM of this deptt. So everybody there is very humble & co-operating to us. Bytheway we are assigned Blast furnace for our training. Officer there is Mr.Upadhayay a passout from MNIT, having same attitute of showing all 'TASION'.But Swati's effect much more than Upadhayay.We started off training in B/F under Sapru Sir's guidance, I learn that industry is quite different from what we read in books.We saw Sintering plant, Pipe plant, Hot strip mill, Cold rolling mill, Coke Ovens. Really its too much hot to stand by a blast furnace. Units are so large that one cant imagine by reading books.The Ore Bedding and Blending Plant has a base mix preparation system with on-ground bedding, blending and conveying facilities. We people doing 3 hour visit to plant we became very tired.My next blog will have all about our life @ Rourkela.

Journey to Rourkela

2007-06-20T10:45:00.000+05:30

Journey to Rourkela:

This journey started from Jaipur. I along with six friends : Aakash, Archita, Bhavneet, Ghanshyam, Prerna & Shiv. (Believe me most of them are psycos)

We take bus to Agra from Sindhi camp. I go to sleep as soon as I capture my sleeper birth. We went to Dheeraj Chaha's room for a temperory stay. We take tea, breakfast & went for agra tour. Most unfortunately TAJ was close because of friday, as Friday prayer is going to held in Mosque in taj premises. I never understand why govt. take such decisions of close a monument like Taj for religious purpose. Half-hearted we went to see Red fort. Mughal palace architecture reached its peak with the construction of the Red Fort at Agra. Built over many centuries under different regimes, it is the product of many different architects who each worked on only a small portion of the whole. To our eyes, this gives the Red Fort a rather eclectic feel that is unified only by the ubiquitious red sandstone that gives the fortress its name.

As everybody want to have a TAJ sight we decided to go for Black Taj Foundation site but Bhavneet as usual not using his brain revolt against. He called the plan a shear waste of money which was not. It is hard to convince Bhavneet. Aakash had some argument with him too.

After viewing Taj from the banks of So called Pavitra Yamuna ( It is hardly pure, all blackish water) we reached house again. We take Lunch there and leave for Rourkela in evening for Kaling Utkal exp.

some old days memories

Boring winters

2006-12-20T17:02:00.000+05:30

Days of exams are over. Result is far better than what I'm hoping. But after that these most waited winters are most boring in my life. Sleeping at very late hrs & waking up to 3pm can very well explain how time is making a roller- coaster. Shiv has his own life with his gf, but I & Chandak dont usually find anything do hav make winters memorable. Many time plans are made of making a tour to Kashmir, but not worked. Hemant is here to have some romantic moment after coming from Hell called IIT Madras.

Day by day cold waves are becoming fierce & days are going more boring. I hope for soon closure of these vacations, Waiting for new year that can bring some light in life. I wish college will remain open through out the year( Very strange wish!!)

India Rocks Internet World

2006-11-14T18:55:00.000+05:30

India may have only 1.5 million Netizens, but, if you were at last week's India Internet World, you would have thought differently.

Hosted at New Delhi's Pragati Maidan, there were, according to organizers, over 100 exhibitors, 1,600 delegates, 20,000 business visitors, and 75,000 ordinary visitors at the conference and exhibition, making it the largest international Internet event to date.

The event was set up by Bangalore-based Micromedia on behalf of Penton Media, the Cleveland media company which owns the Internet World trade show line. Micromedia, a subsidiary of Microland -- a major Indian Internet company, organized the first India Internet World in 1998, which was less than half the size of this year's event.

Micromedia's CEO, Prakash Gurbaxani, told asia.internet.com that "the tremendous hype about the Internet" was responsible for the significant turnout at the show.

"People want to know what the hell this animal is," he explained.

Gurbaxani estimates that only 5 percent of the event's general visitors actually have Internet accounts indicating that, with proper infrastructure and connectivity, India could be an Internet powerhouse.

"We just didn't expect this many people," commented Pradeep Kar, the chairman of Microland. "There has been a lot of hype -- media hype -- and everyone has a billion dollar dream."

For the three days of India Internet World, 22-24 September, the show got top billing in the nation's leading newspapers and a large list of government visitors in attendance.

Sources say that even India's top political leadership contenders, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and Congress Pary President Sonia Gandhi, wanted to attend the event at Pragati Maidan but were politely asked not to come because of the security 'nightmare' that they would have created.

This year, there is an Internet World Hong Kong edition in early November and an Internet World Japan edition in early December.

India pitches for Olympic kabbadi

2006-04-27T15:15:00.000+05:30

Supporters of kabaddi -- an ancient rural Indian sport -- are trying to spread the game through Asia and hope it will eventually become an Olympic event.
Jandardhan Singh Gehlot, president of the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI), told Reuters: "Until it spreads in Asia, it cannot go beyond. Our heart is there (Olympics)."
Gehlot, speaking by telephone from the northwestern city of Jaipur, added: "China and Japan have started playing and we hope for Korea, too."
Kabaddi is already a medal event in the Asian Games, where India have won three consecutive golds since the sport debuted at Beijing in 1990. In addition to South Asian nations, Thailand and Japan played kabaddi at the last games in Bangkok in 1998.
It will be a demonstration sport at the Afro-Asian Games at New Delhi in 2001.
Kabaddi, a variation of tag, involves two teams of seven in which players take turns to "raid" the opposing team's half of a rectangular pitch.
The "raider" tries to touch as many members of the opposing team as possible while chanting "kabaddi" without taking a breath. Opponents try to block his exit from their half without being touched.
Kabaddi has more than 25,000 club-level players in India, but the sport's supporters say it languishes for want of adequate official patronage despite a vast following across the country and in the subcontinent.
The game, played in various regions of India under names like "chadugudu" and "hututu" and with varying rules, was standardised in 1952 by the Kabaddi Federation of India. The name kabaddi was also adopted.
