Hi people, today I am going to tell you that what an MBA means.The title of todays composition is the moral, summary,conclusion and every other thing that it can be. How often does it happen? Not many a times I think!!! Anyways so here it goes

I came here (IIML) on the 18th of October in the year of our lord 2008. It was the lords year or the devils is yet to be decided.However for all practical purposes we shall consider it to be the year of our lord. After all we are all good human beings with great intents (Is that a joke!!!). Anyways the first day was like wow what an amazing place.Great campus, good food and all. What the heck I thought. Afterall this was what I wanted after living like a sea dog for nearly 7 years. Trust me somehow or the other I always sailed to hitherto unknown places. Unknown as in to normal people. Has someone heard of "mayabunder". I have. I do not want to take the credit for it any how. The navy of the weird and the queer gave me the chance to feast my eyes on the lavish paradise of nothing and at no where. That life was something I readily bartered for my present day position. But "our lord" has his own games to play. I did not know of it till on the 20th of October I met the guys in my class. All of them were men and women in uniform or recently out of it, or so it seemed. Every one was starry eyed, dreams in their heads, wishes in their heart, hopes to live up to and ambitions that could have belittled Alexander the great or looking at these people i would say Alexander "the not so great". Come on guys after all what did he do? Conquered the world? thats it? Let me tell you the people here are capable of doing that twice over. Some of them might even become "masters of the Universe" with a subtle difference of being "Skeletors" rather than "he/she-men/woman". But each of them I later realised could become a he/she-women/men". This is probably what most of these guys and women are.

Anyways there were 65 of these starry eyed duds in the class and in came the programme director. He seemed to be a great guy with a lot of besmirked look on his face and his words did little to hide it as well. like every other normal person he seemed to think that people from defence are good at their jobs only.Meaning they are useless else where. Infact the very fact that we cleared the "DGR" exam rather than CAT to come here was a matter of concern for him. However the inevitable had happened and the great band of brigands was here. All that the poor man could do was to welcome us and invite anarchy '08 along with us. Let me tell you guys that its very easy for the pongos/the sailors and the eagle warriors to create anarchy. After all they have lived in anarchy all their lives. So whatever. So here we are being welcomed and all and taken for tea and all and so the day was over. No subjective education the first day. Only instruction on "how not to create trouble", on "how to live like normal human beings" and on"the many ways of getting thrown out of this place". So with all this knowledge we came back wishes in our prayers, dream in our.....blah blah blah.

Day 2 and everafter

The second day had arrived no sooner than the first passed and again the "band of warriors" made themselves available at the designated class room. This place, as in the classroom is a big hall kind of a place with long tables and great couch like chairs arranged in step orderly manner. Not that it matters but yet it seemed to be a big change from the dinghy wardroom or the office set ups that these people are used to. For that matter I would not even know if those that come from god forsaken places like kashmir and all even have an office. So this class is like a big change that seemed to augur well for our future. This fallacy was to be shattered in the days to come. About the same time we came to know that Lehman brothers had closed shop and the wall street was burning. Our very own BSE was like crawling and the market was bracing itself for a major recession. This was purely coincidental or timed with precision is known only to our maker. So here were "we" who had come to prepare for a corporate life and it seemed as if the corporate world was actually preparing to lock us out for good. So much for the first few days. The smog of liquidity crisis still hangs over. The corporate sector seems blinded by the sudden flashes of devastation which has left thousands jobless. Not that I am really bothered about it but again if one looks at it then it is worth noticing that the moment we leave this place we will face these jobless people in the corporate world and its going to be like WW III. So I just hope that these IIM guys pack us up with enough ammo to last us and make us emerge as victors

That again was digressing, but its something that cannot be helped. Think of it, its like the web of our lives where every thing is related to every other thing. Its like an microcosm in a macrocosm or even the other way. I really don't know as to where we are going. Although the impetus has been to do the right and become better people socially, economically, and all other wise yet what happens is something that is unknown to us. Its like sitting on a boat paddling to get to the other side and yet not knowing the outcome because may be the streams too fast or may be too slow, or may be even that we are waddling on a river thats gone dry and has only sand and no water and we continue to waddle in the mirage, or even plain simply there might not be any other side. Spiritual stuff yes but is there any other respite or more sanely lets just think or ask if there is any other way to seek an answer. Is that why the metaphysical holds the lure of salvation when practicality suggests that there is no such alternative.

I would like at this point divert from my wonky ideating brain and turn my attention to our days further into the course. Its late at night and the speaker is wailing out the rumble of "zara si dil mein jagah tu" from the motion picture "Race" and I aqua scorpion deal with the wonder that is life. The cloud of smoke hangs over me as I sit here drunk in my own thoughts wishing fervently that hope prevails. What will happen is "que sera sera" but still

The Place The People

Well having rattled about my longings to be here at the IIM, I must tell you guys and gals that I am finnaly here "to change unpermeably". You will know of it if you guys have been following my blogs. Well, now that I am here I find myself in unchartered waters. Navigable they are but one does not really know where the channel is. The chances of grounding are immense and the probability of collision diverse. As luck would have it I have already navigated the first term and hopefully other terms shall follow suit. I however would like to tell you all about my 'diverse collisions".
I am sure that one can fairly assume that this place is as livid as a village fair. The conundrum of voices rattling out financial magic, chanting marketing mantras and communicating the corporate way shatter the silence of the solemn place that is the location of this "insti" as everyone calls it. Beyond this everyone and everything in physical and metaphysical terms are probably the same and comparable to the outside world. The boys are the same and the girls too. Similar are their ways of practicing the ritual pre-mating (read pre-nuptial) vagaries. the boisterous boys and the frail girls how ever are a rarity. This part of the world witnesses more boisterous girls and frail boys. If that is a corporate requirement then only Bill gates/Anil Ambani will be judicious enough to judge the discrepancy and pass verdict. Aqua scorpion is naive!!! or atleast in this case.
That was a fair digression! Coming back to the point of my collisions. Let me tell you that everyone here is in a state of Brownian motion, floating incessantly in the colloidal solution of wisdom.These particles(that is how we shall from now on refer to individuals for the sake of clarity), are bound to collide in this set up. What forms next is a question that cannot be answered in general. The results can be highly creative to down right devastating. How?I shall describe that in a short while from now.
Imagine a fast girl particle hitting a good boy particle. The momentum is transferred to the good boy particle and it moves in the direction of the girl particle. They may or may not end up like a molecule. If they do then they eventually lose momentum and settle down on or near the periphery of the colloidal soup. In a totally different case the boy particle may gain sufficent energy/momentum to catch up with the girl particle but eventually loses momentum due to collisions with the various other boy particles that are moving in the same direction as itself ie in the direction of the girl particle. A totally different scene emerges when a very fast moving girl particle hits a stationary boy particle(Note:this guy is stationary because he's studious, socially accepted as a "good boy",and is here to earn name and fame for himself and his family. Such boy particles are characterized by such features as deeply emotional, sentimental or more specifically mentally unstable!!!! that is in not so rare chronic cases). The collision results in de-fragmentation of the boy particle since its inherent latency does not allow it or say hinders it from reaching the girl particle. This de-fragmentation can take place in many ways like, hanging from the fan, jumping from the top floor and in some bizarre cases by urinating over a heater. In yet another kind of collisions called "lucky-collisions",the guy particle gets "lucky". In such cases it gets to form the molecule and as another girl particle hits the molecule the extant molecule gives way to a new molecule minus the previous girl particle. Now what needs to be seen is whether collisions are capable of producing one guy two girl molecule. It is considered highly unlikely because each girl particle repels the other and tries to damage the boy particle as it leaves the molecule making way for the formation of a newer molecule. Conditions involving one girl and multi boy molecules are found to exist although rarely. Certain bizarre on campus scientists hypothesize that it is possible to produce a boy-boy molecule, or a multi boy molecule as well. However the existence of such molecules in the present colloid is yet to be confirmed. It is assumed that the right conditions for such reactions are not prevalent in the present matrix. One can however not rule out such collisions and therefore possibilities of such molecules.

More about cllision with eprsonal example in the next post. For all my readers I shall also "bitch" in the next post about the unsavory particles encountered here.......so stay tuned...

I am all confused....what about it????

hookay so whats up guys......I am sure everone is having a good time??? eh!! so am I!!! Well I never started blogging to say what people wanted to hear. It was rather the opposite. Anyways I am in a good mood and the colloquial "Old Monk" has done a good job. So how do you guys think is it gonna be for all of us? Are we like going to study and the probably get married go steady get divorced(or not), Have kids(or not), and then mebbe get working till we scrape our backs off and retire to our old age shelters, and then die of ol' age or mebee even contemplate suicide or say even do it? Is that it? Thats boring buddies!!! Has to be something different, i think so!!!But the recent trends prove otherwise. The market going down and marriages going sour....parents takin' a lickin', and all the bad stuff...sounds bad. But I guess there is still something that drives some kind of a sembelance into this frenzied, chaotic nebbulous life.....What is it? I wanna know. U see we can say so many things. You know like we are so advanced and that we know a lot, and science is doing great and blah blah blah...but seriously where are we. I mean I think that I am pretty much educated to make my own decisions but still I am at a loss. Why/ I dont know...Is it that i am lost? (dont know)....!!!I mean why am I even writing this shit? Dont know!!! Its weird this whole world has got sceintific basis for operating the way it is. It has moral basis for the same. We have ethics and we have a God....still things are pretty much stupid...why? I was told we are the most intelligent among animals.....doest not look that way!!! We are sadder than the saddest of all the miniscule creatures... Thats not me but I see it all round. Look at paul coelho who wrote the  Alchemist...I mean what did he have in mind to tell us that something else governs us and that we do exactly what we were meant to do.? I mean how ridiculous is that or say how right is that? Again dont know!!! I mean are we even in charge of ourselves? If not then why not? Why should not we be in charge......... I mean I know that if I write about some contemporary stuff and something that relates physically/emotionally...People would really read but what about our own self..There is so much confusion in my head and heart..and am sure the same holds true for evry one of us and still we are like duds , keeping shut all the while and doing nothing about it. We for gods sake dont even say it.....please for crying out loud. In the long and short of it the story boils down to a simple fact that we think that our being here is our privillege and that we can just live this life like drab and push off. i do not think so...Each one of us is here to do something. What is it is for us to know.....Again whos telling us that? I feel so lost!!! I mean I really dont know whats to be done...If only I knew what I had to do I would do it..... I am going crazy I guess.....but arnt we all....Its just a matter of time.........Well the future remains dark and its que sera sera.....So lets jus say we shall wait till that next time I feel good enough to write agin.....The next time I am gonna tell you guys about all the different guys I meet and how and why they do what they do.....I mean thats even more wierd but so is life. Anyways till then signing off and even if I dont make sense bear with me...The best shall come forth and it shall be "the Best' ever..........take care dude and gals and have fun. Life is yours live it your way. In fact 'Live like theres no tomorrow, Dream like You are gonna live forever"...dosveidania
