One more JLT..........

Just Like That,better known as JLT is the second most frequent thing in XIMB(first place is occuped by frequency with which we get bad food in XIMB mess) and tonite it was time for another one.This was to celebrate the success of our three CA frnds(Uncle,Pappu and Daya) who passed the final exams to become compelte CAs.Also it was opportunity for BABA mandali(keep guessing?) to launch the brand elitebaba and then under its aegis VAXIM(Value Addition association of XIM).Everything went fine with wonderful non stop music(courtesy- DJ SOvit) till the dawn.Turnup for JLT was lesser than expected but there was a crowd puller(What else is better than "DAARU").As soon as the SAXIM counter was opened everyone made sure to enjoy the party.Another brand was launched in this JLT "Pammi(Courtesy all my frnds)" and um sure this brand will very soon become icon like the great "Bamadev".Had pammi been part of PGP1 it would have beaten bamadev in TRP ratings.But lets wait n watch.It was already 4:00am by the time I reached my room.Shall I,Shall I not....and decided i shall not sleep as have FA quiz at 9:00am.Uncle was enthusiastic after wonderfult JLT to give me another class on FA and I grabbed the opportunity to understand retrospective effect of accounting.Already 5:00am now and I am still not feeling sleepy.Lets do OB project's reading..Its done,time now 5:45am..not feeling sleepy...Let me write a blog.....and here i started and as soon as i started i felt like um drunk and need a long sleep.......6:00am Gud nite..Plz wake me up by 8:55am...

Wake Up Call!!!

Exams dont send shivers now a days as if that is the case ximbian will be shivering 24*7.As quizzes and exams are scheduled(infact not et al scheduled) are most frequent thing to occur.First ECO test results gave me some hope as I got 7/10 but the reverse happened after discussing 2nd quiz marks which will s be around 4-5/10 ,hopeless but that didnt wake me up.Midterm acted as wakeup call for me.I know relatively I will stand somwhere as an average student in class.Accpeted the fact,as I never was that sort of book worm sticking to books 24 hrs and getting A grades...I need grades enough to take me out of low rankings along with some excellent curricular activities performances(which are must).I will contiinue the life as it is with only eception that I have to wake up now!!!!To be awake in class is only thing required to score good in eco. Jaago Jaago Jaago Subah Ho gayee........

Cheer Leaders at Jhabier!!

"Aisa Kyon hua(Why did it happen) coz .....Galee Galee mein shor hai PGP2 Kamjor hai" All these shouts made during PGP1 vs PGP2 soccer match were enough to create nostalgia with a wish that I could go in past. A wish to go back to my REC days as those were the best days of my life.The match which ended in draw could have given better results and lesser fun in case gods of rain had not blessed with torrential rains during second half.PGP2 was a better team obvious from skills with which they played the game.Superb passing,Shoots and wonderful keepeing of goal. PGP1 lagged team effort coz of some "gaddas" need not be named.Flawaless defense was surely the backbone for PGP1 team which kept the spirits high througout the match.I regret that out of the two playing teams no one Could win .Then who won?Kudos to cheer leaders of PGP1 who were present till the end of match despite heavy rains and that too wothout worrying about drenched clothes(all sorts of).They were the ones who ultimately won the match which ended with slogan "Jeet Gaya,Jeet Gaya,PGP1 Jeet Gaya".Good Luck Cheer Leaders for next contest (BBALL match) of the series.I was the lucky one to be part of cheer leaders group...

Six Point Someone - In The Making

All of us have already beaten thousands of aspirants to get a place into this esteemed institute. So all of us are THE BEST of own field...but who the hell says that THE BEST can not become worse or worst. At least for me mid term exams was time of self realization that there is life beyond studies. Realization that, No matter how much you study in a MBA college it will be difficult to replicate the 10th class performance. Only saving’s grace is the relative grading. Engineers will hit the rock bottom in Financial Accounting and Managerial computing will take sleep out of CA's reach, Graduates will be excelling in HRM and same can take shit out of others. But I shall not worry, I shall not stop from studying and putting all the efforts as I know I can and I will. It was the only first one and ‘N’ more to go…I hope, I wont repeat these lines after every exam by changing variable ‘N’ in decreasing order as we have11 more exams to go in next 15 months.But all nigh outs in midterm exams had scheduled work of watching movies, full night Khattee (gossips in regional language are called so) with friends, enjoying baba’s Prasad, writing blog, composing mails etc. But have we become insomniacs? Nay, surely not, we are making it sure that 60K we paid for each term at least gives us a fine sleep in the Air Conditioned class rooms and for that night outs are must. “Six Point Someone” is in the making. Basic concept has already been thought of on the day we entered XIMB. All I need is characters who can replace Ryan, Alok, Hari and Neha of Five Point Someone or similar characters. I hope, will get them soon…Anyone interested???? Contact me before next Exam starts as I will be working on this assignment during exams (Best time to see the unleashed talent) only with LAKSHYA (TARGET) - Six Point Someone.

Jhabier Speaks!!

"ZINDAGEE MAUT NAA BAN JAAYE SAMBHALO YAARO", this is all what I interpreted from the messages in shout box of ximbians.com(Take a note it is not zimbians.com).Only 4hrs of sleep, may be continuous night outs, daily assignments, quizzes, deadlines, classes at timings when the whole city sleeps, sleep at time when in class only professor is awake. As an engineer, I never agreed that stress of studies can go to such an extreme. I felt all seniors are trying to scare us and end our story. Nay, it was from here that story actually started. Elite-2007, Hannibal, YaDaV rAi ArOrA and Hero2007 were the main characters already chosen for the upcoming extravaganza for next two weeks. All was well staged from “Can you hear him at the back”, “Give your mobile and watches”, Coming Soon - Water, “Introduction of all of us with some eXcellent (rated) remarks”, “Ek Do teen Chaar - Band karo yeh atyachar”. I felt no hesitation in appreciating all my seniors for dropping most of the intolerable processes made by their seniors and had the chance to give my view that some were still being carried forward. Kudos to all seniors for managing all this with ease despite of some difficulties. But who made this easy process a difficult one? Presenting "Elite-2007" - the batch of 2007.All the acts of batch were those required to be a manager. Batch who has all the keenness to revert the XIMB Culture and started with changing culture of city itself (Risk taking capability of good managers).Initiative was taken by first proposal to rename "Xavier Square" as "Bamadev Square(A Brand which became an icon)".Whether it was presentation of XSYS,XFIN,XIMAHR or a CEO talk many of us made sure to complete all the sleep in rooms during this time(Future Planning- Sleepless nights coming soon),Presentations where T-shirt was on priority rather than other queries(Giving apt importance to Packaging is must),Splitting of the XSYS fee in three easy installments was worth appreciation (Financial decision to be taken with care),Cultural programs in the Sambandh (Product for low end as well as high end customers),Birthday celebration where Bhaktee, Baba and Bamadev are discussed more than the Bday boy/girl(Brand Promotion in masses at right place, right time and amongst right people),Posters which have the innovative minds being expressed(Customer is the one who can make or break you).My Jhabier experience speaks that - It requires lots of guts to be Class Representative of any batch of XIMB. Special guts to be CR of "Elite-2007".Being a CR of "Elite-2007" gives you opportunity to act as Free gift under the “Celebrate one get one free" scheme. Class is the best place to sleep until you are not caught red handed. Worst speakers can also become CEO. Any place outside XIMB mess is worth eating. You have to be physically present at every Birthday (Our statistician on hunt for absentees).Roll Call may happen anytime, anywhere. In JLT people behave Just Like Teetotalers – Thanks to SAXIM members for optimum utilization of water. At last there is no dearth of talent in our XIMB community, it will get unleashed with the passage of time. We already are managers (after managing to get into XIMB), I can foresee that two years stint at this place would add lots of value to us and make a “Good Manager” out of us. But we have to wait as “X (Xavier)” effect has just started.
