A morning in library!!

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!!

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

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 !!!

"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

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

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.

I am back on blogging

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

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

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.

VS 

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

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!!

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

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

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

Courtesy:- http://mashable.com/2008/11/27/google-ads-terrorism/

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

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.
