Stressed out......

Past 24 hours for me have been the most nerve wracking . Every hour has brought up a new dilemma.The day started with dad asking me whether I would get leave of about 13 days for a trip abroad. Impulsively i uttered yes (can justify that iam desperate for a vacation now!!! its been a year since i had a decent break) . I realised just after ( and it had to be that the booking was made by then :-(( )that i may not make it to that trip as some work n other committments wud force me to chuck it. Entire morning was wasted literally just brooding over this.
Then there was this discussion in which my current state was the core of the debate. The point was whether to "app" now or sit n crack gmat again.It would have been so fruitful had my pals n me arrived at a definite verdict ....but to my bad luck half the junta said app now immediately n half the junta saying dude...try n go for that glorious score (if at all......) again....
As if this was not enough,a repeat order (already test passed design ) for a 66kV product has run into rough weather. Compounding my problems is the fact that i dont have any information the way this earlier design was done n to look into it would atleast take a day and to add to my woes the shop floor wants the clarification in an hour.....
I have only few words to describe wat one should do when plagued by such dilemmas........Look up into the sky n pray to god SAVE MY SOUL....:-)

Trip to Mahi

Last week was an eventful one.First was the departure to singapore of a dear friend . Its an important event as this friend of mine instilled in me a different view to see life. Before i met this wonderful friend entire focus of my professional life had been to do well in my short yet sweet professional career.The total chillax attitude in responding to some of the gravest of the problems around was her trademark style.
This trademark style prompted me to take a leaf out of her book n try a bit of adventure sport.As in ,riding a bike can hardly be called as adventure sport but well it was a good begining. So it was upto me n Kunal to flag of the trip. Kunal is one guy who will always be there on such kind of trips. Giving me a bike , a destination and he is on his way. Leave him alone to figure out the route n trust me u won't be disappointed.
The ride started with me n kunal cruising on our bikes. Although we had touched speeds in excess of 100 kms on our last ride, this it was like a cruise. We seldom did go beyond 40 kph speed mark.
This place where we had planned to go was --bank of river Mahi . Thats about 20 kms from the place where i stay . We started at around 10 am. A tinge of green was visible throughout the ride on either side of the road . Also the best thing about this route was we couldn't see even one pothole on the tar road . Hatz off to the road development corporation for maintaining it.On the way we picked up the bare essentials (read that as ...snacks/coke/ ciggies for kunal n center fresh for me ...:-) )
As soon as we reached there, the view of the river was splendid.This is the first time in almost many years this river has carried so much water (this is wat iam told).By then shashi had also joined us(we called him up n he shunned his plans for this ride)...We cudnt resist the charm of going on a boat ride in the river. So we asked a fisherman to take us on a boat ride. He obviously didn't want to refuse on the easy money he cud make n off we were, onto the boat and on a ride across to the other bank. It was fun to have gone on this ride.
On the way back, plans r already on to make the next ride about which i wud let u know in detail....so cya at the same place(thatz moi blog)...till then cya..:-)

Kabhie Alvida Na Kehna ...This one is not for me

Hi guys, off late I have been watching some movies which were projected as Mega blockbusters of this decade by the media. Omkara was dished out a 4 star rating(on a scale of 5 ) n then Karan Johar directed venture Kabhie Alvida Na Kehna was rated as 3.
With all due respect to hardcore shahrukh/abhishek/rani/priety fans.....this one isn't even worth watching. Again the views presented here are subjective . If u r very emotional, believe in ultimate exaggeration,a die hard romantic,very very mushy.....then may be there r chances that u might ...(i repeat u might!!!) disagree with me. But certainly this one isn't worth the moolah.
Abhishek Bacchhan , although a powerhouse when it comes to enacting emotions has been completely wasted in the movie. Shahrukh has been in his stereo typical best. One thing i must say he has been consistent with it.I wonder how he doesnt get bored of doing the same thing again n again. This speaks volumes of his acting ability n i agree that he is a director's actor. It cud have easily been a decent narrative had Mr. Karan not involved so many stars n then using them to i guess less than 50 % of their potential.
All said n done ... I didnt expect such a multistarrer would turn out to be such a damp squib. Lets see whether Mr. Shahrukh turns it around in a different genre with Farhan Akhtar's Don. I hope he does.

Omkara....( never gonna see anything like that..)

Hi bloggie,
After all the hype bout my application process/transcripts i would love to let you know that iam still quite a few weeks away from apping.So as an after thought decided to catch up on the just released film "omkara".
Decision was based on 2 facts-- hype by media giving it 4 star rating,ajay devgan acting in it.
I think i should refrain from watching any of the shakespear's famous tragedies.The movies based on it are extremely slow paced and at the end of it i have a splitting headache. Sorry guys (who r big shakespear fans) i appreciate the effort with which the actors have devoted their energies to the project but i think its simply not my cup of tea to wade thru 2.5 hrs watching omi...(othello) doubting dolly (desdemona).
One thing though that has been outstanding is the way saif has done justice to the role. Brilliant acting i must say. He got into the skin of the character well and was simply fantabulous.
But all said and done ...it doesnt deserve a rating of 4 on the scale of 5. Maybe i will put it at 2 .
