Hakuna Matata = Enjoy Your Life

So Friend after the comments I got on my previous posts, I decided to step out to this beautiful world and therefore I planned a trip to the city beautiful that is Chandigarh..

All thanks to my friends Jagjot and Harry for taking me out of patiala and thereb giving me some respite from my busy and hectic schedule….I really enjoyed my outing in Chandigarh and now I think I am changed a lot :)

IĀ  am more keen to roam around and this would be reflected in the smaller posts I will be making now.Moreover the frequency of blog update would also decrease leaving my readers a lesser chance to get bored šŸ˜€

For those who dont know the meaning of Hakuna Matata let me explain…It means enjoy your life without any tension and this has been taken from aWalt Disney Cartoon Show – Timon And Pumba :)

I Am Tired Of Being Tired And Sick

I am tired of being tired and sick.Awww the life is so boring these days..i am down with Viral fever and the doctor has given so many medicines that it takes me 10 min to recall which all i have to take and after what interval.
Life is too boring and heavy..no time to enjoy with friends and this all is due to this great Personal Computer PC..My friend Preetinder uses a quote which fits my lifestyle too

I Used To have A Life,But Then I Got A PC And Modem,Rest Is History

Really,now i am being saturated with the usage of pc and internet and feel like I am caged by an unseen force.I also want to move out and enjoy this beautiful world.For the last 6 months i have not gone out of Patiala…Domino’s,Macdonald’s,Fun Republic Chandigarh etc etc are like dream places for me now.I don’t know whose fault this is but every time i plan to move out there is some problem(the unseen force i was talking about)

Everyday spending more time on my pc then with my family is instead killing my social activities and i now no longer want to be part of any parties and other occasions.Every night at around 1 am when i say good night to my PC i think that today would be the last day to have spent so much time on it but the very next day i am again into the same vicious circle…


I Am Really Tired Of This And I Want Some Change

Accenture Calling But I Am Not Going

The title tells it all!!! I am selected in Accenture at a package of 3 lakhs but I am not going!!! hey!!! don’t think I am expecting more than this package…I am thankful to God for this only as I know how much value can I add to the company :)
I am basically a civil engineering student doing MBA and trying my luck In an IT company….I know these three things are like three different roads when you are standing at the junction,But you know i am too confused to go on a particular road.LOL
So if you have read my earlier posts you must be knowing how deep knowledge I have in my civil engineering…:) Same is the case with MBA and Same is the case with whatever I do!!
I dont know structure engineering yet i am doing civil engineering,I dont know managing people yet I am doing MBA and at last I dont know C , C++ the basic languages yet I am selected in ACCENTURE – The World’s Largest IT Solution Company…..Isnt this funny?

So let me tell you how I got through the interview and other process…..

Day 1
I along with my friend Hardeep was sitting in the C hall for attending the Presentation so that i come to know something about the company as I had hardly bothered my self to go through the company’s website..There I came to know something about the company and then there was a written test…..I dont know how I cleared that but some how I managed that…

After sometime the names of student were announced and I was one of them…then there was a GD …somehow I managed to clear that too….then at night at nearly 10.30 they said you can leave now and come sharp at 7am

Day 2
In the morning Hardeep came to my house and we filled the biodata form and other required documents…I was dressed like a waiter :( black pant with a light blue shirt and a tie hanging around my neck…so we reached college at around 7.05 am and then waited there for our turn.The wait was getting hectic and hectic as time was passing slowly and slowly…At around 9 am we decided to go out and have something to eat..after roaming here and there and feeling ashamed of our dress we again came back to C hall and sat there and again waited there..

I am sure if ever I had any Girl Friend and she had kept me waiting for that long, i would have surely left her :)...but one thing I notices was that those who had a GF or BF were having no problem in waiting..lol…At 11 am i decided to skip the interview and go back home and start chatting …But somehow something happened and i was forced to sit there…Time was crawling at a speed i cant imagine…every time i watched the clock it just showed 5 min more than what had been an hour back!! At 2 i was so fed up that i declared that i am not interested in sitting for the interview as this is not my type company and so on…You know there are hundred and one methods to criticizing things and i was just doing that…

But Hardeep cooled my nerves and said our turn will be coming at any moment and I was waiting for that moment only……………………..
Interview

So atlast after waiting for 8 hours i was called for the interview..I thought why the hell I had wasted my 8 hours as i was not keen to go to any company due to my MBA..I could have utilised my 8 precious hours on Orkut , Chatting Or Even on My Blog..but anywayz things not always go according to you……

I was first taken for an HR interview..As soon as I entered the room i was shooted with non stop questions..it was like a rapid fire round…I said yes to 1 question which I was not even able to understand :) later I came to know that he had asked me that whether I was ready to sign a service bond or not…lol.…The HR person keep saying me you are not for accenture you are not for accenture and I kept on stating that I am only for accenture šŸ˜€
Anyways after 10 -15 min of so called HR interview I came out and was told that I had cleared the HR and now I shall proceed for the technical inteview..Now I was totally shocked that how the hell can I clear HR interview ,I was so rude in answering to some questions and more so as the HR manager was saying I was not the one they were looking for!!! GOD knows how I was selected…

I entered the room for technical interview andI was welcomed with the expected question

WHY IS A CIVIL ENGINEERING STUDENT COMING TO AN IT COMPANY????

I was ready for the answer..and kept saying I can do this in IT ,I can do that ..(full fantar maare) But the interviewer was in no mood of mercy …He said you know there is so much work load in IT.people quarrel with wife and children….there are all sorts of problem in homes…DIVORCE HO JATE HAI!! and so on..I started to smile and said Sir if you think IT companies are responsible for increased divorce rate than i am sorry i dont agree with you..Instead those TV shows are more responsible!! :) :)

Similarly I started to say things which were not even relevant to what he asked…I was sure that if he asks something which is technical then I am sure I cannot get through…so I started to talk about things which I know or which I like!! :) you all know how good I am in BHORU Activities..thats even reflected here :)

So I kept him busy in my talks and tried to pass the time and after 10 min he said ok Mr Singh you can leave!! I came out with full confidence that I am going to be selected as I never let them ask anything which is technical!! lol

Placement Fun In Thapar

Campus placements = The aim of almost every student of any college.Yes its right,every student want that he should be placed in a very high profile company and that too at a package which he/she may not even deserve :)
Same is the case in Thapar..all the students want to get to a very good company and that too at a package as high as possible….To start with the campus recruitment,TCS ,infosys and other I.T companies came to our college.There was so much excitement in the students but i tell you the habbit of scrapping on Orkut has gaved a new term to my friends and on the very first day when TCS was there the students started to say that we shall scrap this company

I was like..what the hell..how can any one even think of scrapping TATA …the name that rules India,the most ethical company and so on so forth.For those who done know what scrapping a company means here is the an overview:-

Scrapping means to sit in the written test without any preparation or even if you know the correct answer you mark the wrong one so that you are not selected

Now the question comes why should we sit for a company if we don’t want to go..the answer is very simple….To JUST GET THE FEEL OF WRITTEN TEST OR INTERVIEW

So it all started with TCS and till now I don’t know many companies have been scrapped..Thanks to Orkut for coining a special term for this.

The Dot Com (.com) Mania

So atlast i have shifted my blog to somewhat more professional looking site and that is .com.I have been using blogspot and then the other free host for blogs for killing people’e time but yesterday i stepped into the .com mania

What happened was, Navjot called me and said her friends liked my blog very much.It gives such a nice feeling when girls praise you :) and more over when your very close friend praises you..i haven’t updated my blog for a long time as i was not sure whether anybody was reading it or not..But when i heard that people like there time to be killed by reading my useless posts I thought why not to step further.At night my brother G P Singh asked me whether I wanted any such domain,with in seconds he purchased the domain,setup the wordpress and asked me to choose the theme.What i was thinking for last 2-3 months was a matter of 2-3 min for my brother.
Thank You Bro

So after setting up of this blog now i have decided to write something on this blog and then nominate this blog for the worlds most bhoru blog.I am sure the word bhoru is easily understood by all my Thaparian Friends.We are too good in this.:)
And for those who don’t know what bhoru means here is the definition which you cant find in any dictionary

Bhoru= Bhoru is the word used to describe the process in which a person uses all his/her means to kill or waste the time of others by talking,writing or speaking something which is not at all useful to others

The Day Before Exam

As you all have read in the previous post that how we began to prepare for our exams,now i shall be writing how we prepared if u can even call that we prepared :)…lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
So at 11:45 the large junk of books and notes laid open in front of us and we were thinking from where to start.The basic problem with Thaparians is that they are very choosy about the topic which to study and which to not but unlike others if somehow i study i usually prefer to start from the very beginning.The well established fact about me is that ‘Even if i leave a most insignificant topic,it is surely going to come in the exams’
so we started to cram from the first lecture.As my capacity to study is very large so we studied for non stop 15 min.After that all kind of problems started to appear…..my back ache started,my eyes were full of tears..i wonder this never happens when i sit on my comp chair for 18 hours…hehehehehehehe

By seeing my miserable condition the soft heart of Gobind decided to save me from more pains and thus he announced a rest for few minutes.It was what i was pleading in my heart and God had listened to me….i am so thankful to GOD for giving me a friend like GOBIND..(God bless him)

After resting and then having a meal we again started to WORK HARD ,by this time the tension of not completing the syllabus was mounting and thus we studied till 6pm and then we decided to call it for the day.Having a feeling of satisfaction we rested on the bed and started gossiping,the only question which haunted us was

“Why the hell these exams appear from no where after every 15-20 days”

The funniest part is that though we know 1 week prior to the exam that the devil of exams will be hovering over us with in a week but still we Thaparians have a different way of thinking…..i think this is the only factor which differnciates thaparians from others or maybe u can say this is the factor which differentiates 6 point someone from a 10 pointer..But who the hell wana be a 10 pointer???? even somehow if i manage to secure a 10 point C.G.P.A(god forbids) how can i maintain that…..rather i am happy with 7 point :)…i was talking about the thaparian skills so coming back to the same topic….Thaparians have been blessed with a skill of completing the work at last point…We dont need any prior warnings,signals etc….even if we know that we are going to submit our assignments on 15 of any month,i know out of class of 44 only 3-4 people will make it by 10 and rest will start working by 14 and some great personalities will start on the same morning..So my point is that Engineers need to be like that becoz in real life you dont have time to plan all your things before,sudden decisions have to be taken on the spot :)…….

i dont know whether u agree with me or not but even if u dont then ‘I DONT CARE’…..i wish to write what i feel and if u feel some what different then u have a comment space below…(See how professional i am to force my visitors to comment on my blog..hahahahahahaha)

Its nearly 10.40 pm and i am digging into my chair so i think its enough,i cant write more at this point and hope you also can digest more of the so called “BHORU BLOG”……..

My Exams

After a long time i am back again to TORTURE MY VISITORS.Now i am going to write about my experience during the first mid sem exams which had occurred in March.As usual my exams again approached and yet again i was totally prepared to ‘DO NOTHING’.No notes,no Photostats(the most essential part of engineers life) before the exam date.But my inner self woke up 3 days prior to the D-day and i got hold of 3-4 notebooks and got all xeroxed.Huge bunch of notes were in my hand with no time to read but still it give me a feeling of satisfaction that at last i am trying to CRAM – which is called Studying.
So i planned my exam schedule with my friend Gobind Khurana.After discussing all the pros and cons we decided to prepare for the exams at my house.The first exam was on Monday and till Sunday morning i was busy with my Web Designing Projects :) the only thing i like to work for….
Some how we prepared ourself,motivated each other,inspired one another to at least study for 1 hour so as to secure a decent marks in the exams (Its so easy to get a decent marks here in Thapar,though decent marks for me may be below average for others.)
Just as we were about to open the scholarly notes and huge database of knowledge -: BOOKS,God intervened in the form of my mother with a yummy breakfast —–AAloo parantha..yummy…:)
We are great followers of elders advice so i just followed the orders of my mom…
‘PEHLE PET PUJA PHER KAAM DUJA’.

After having a hefty meal and enjoying some discovery channel show on my PC we again thought of studying but my dear friend Gobind had other plans,he is so lazy that i cant even tell….once u see him walking you can know how he even cares to walk..(Nothing Offensive :) )
He showered a piece of advice to me,according to him “One should not spoil his/her taste of aaloo paranthas by doing an idiotic act of studying”.As you all know me i am a person who can be easily convinced (if the idea matches my thinking though)So i totally agreed with him and we decided to postpone our exam preparations by few minutes/hours…..

In the mean time Gobind enjoyed the comfort at bed and i was busy again with my pc – I think i am loosing my social circle due to my habit of sitting alone at computer,but designing and chatting give me immense pleasure so i hardly care for others:) As i was chatting with one of my online frnd suddenly at around 11.30 am a sudden rush of blood occurred in my veins.I was all charged up to secure Great Marks in the exams,i dunno what had happened to me as i was feeling like if i am going to start studying now i can surely get A grade(which i haven’t got till this semester,all thanks to the teachers grace…missed few by small margins though)The feeling of securing a first A made me feel at top of the world,so many good feelings surrounded me.I dont know what had happened to me But this is how i am

Suddenly at the top of the world and then in few moments sinking to the depths of the ocean”

So after all the synergy i had i thrashed Gobind for being so lazy and i also blessed him with so called bad names :D……he was totally confused with my sudden change in behavior but my scolding was showing the results and we at last decided to ‘STUDY’

My Sixth Semester

So after all the Hitches and Ditches the last semester ended and after a trip to Mumbai i am back again to Patiala.This year brings new hopes,new plans,new thought process but what it hasn’t changed is my attitude toward life.At the start of this semester i was all pumped up to increase my cg so that i can also be “7 point someone” but the way i approached my studies….i don’t think thats possible in near future...
My sixth sense was sending me some coded messages that this sixth semester is not going to be easy but as always ‘ I DON’T CARE’.

Day1 i.e 2nd Jan 2007…..i came back from Mumbai at around 8pm on 1st jan and all the night passed away in thinking that from tomorrow on wards i have to be back to jail.I was feeling like a pigeon whose feathers have been cut is allowed to fly for short time as everyone knows that he don’t have a choice except to come back.So after all the thinking was done i slept at around 2 am still feeling that our college authorities will extend our holidays seeing the extreme cold conditions.But as it is said.“Dreams are mere Dreams until you make an effort”

So after reaching the college in my very first day of sixth semester i paid heftily for becoming there slave, (bandua majdoor is what is called in hindi).At around 3 pm i had some small little argument with our dean and my inner voice said “WELCOME TO THE MOST BENEVOLENT DICTATORSHIP IN THIS WORLD” …..i call it BENEVOLENT because they never forced us to come it was our own personal decision….and DICTATORSHIP because there is no way we could disagree with our bosses..

So after all the mess i made at the very first day i came back home and still hoping that some one in my friend circle will give me a good news that holidays have been extended….but unfortunately neither the news came nor came any sign of relief and all my night passed in dreaming about my next day in college(shall i call it college or whatever)..

Day 2 i.e 3rd Jan 2007…..At around 5.30 in the morning the alarm bell broke the silence and my dreams..With all the curses i can give i broke the alarm bell and calling @#$@$@!%#$%#@$%#(censored) i woke up at 5.45 am…..After the daily routine i took my breakfast at around 7.30 am and went outside to see the blue sky and pray to God to save me from this TORTURE…….BUUUUUUUUUUUT what i see outside was not only strange but also heartbreaking….even the blue sky was not visible to me because of the thick smog..i could hardly see at 2 m distance…..My mom came outside for a see off and as i started my bike(who seemed to be irritated with me for waking him up so early)i said if anything happens to me on the way ‘THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY LIES WITH THE COLLEGE AUTHORITIES’

The Great Saga Of Experiments

So Now let me come to my present life if it can be called a life:(….Now a days i am in a college which seems to be more like a prison then a college..I go at 7.45 am and come back at 6.30 pm..Yeah that seems to be more like an office timing but what an innocent child like me can do in front of the College authorities..
Every day i spend at college it seems that my life is getting shorter and shorter,no fun,no chill out,and most important NO GIRL FRIEND..Life is just a kinda hell these days..everyday right from 8 am i am trying to smell the notebooks so that i can complete my work.Thanks to my dear dear friend “Ishan kaushal” that he always helps me out in completing my work.But all the tutorial sheets,home assignment are of no use as i do nothing except xeroing them from friends notebook to mine..Every time during the exams i make a very very strong appeal to myself that this act of copying has to be stopped and i pledge that this is not going to continue from the next semester.But nothing has changed.Neither my copying act nor my grades.Everything is at a standstill for me..The problems which i had encountered in the first semester are still there,rather they are multiplying and growing like a Monster.
It is said that to every problem one solution always exist but i am not able to find what has gone wrong with me..
The problem doesnt end here rather One of the biggest problem is that i am not able to do a single experiment correctly from last 3 years.What we are thinking now is write a book on this..the title which is proposed is

“THE GREAT SAGA OF EXPERIMENTS”

The only encouraging fact is that though our entire group has not done any experiment correctly but still every time we enter any lab we are full of energy and hopes of getting successful this time.We dont let the ghost of failure haunt us the next time we do the experiment..
This applies on us
“Aaj bhi pakre hai ummed ki dori,Dont loose hope is the moral of the story”

The credit for not doing any thing right mainly lies with Mr Gobind Khurana..and other contributors are:Ishan,Gurjeet,Divya,Avani..i am totally innocent and have no role to play in these experiments as i just dont do anything.i am a mere spectator to the never ending tale of wrong experiments.Every time teacher scoulds us we are out of it with some amazing thought process..the tips and tricks which we use against teacher are always proving lucky..But i wonder if some day we are not able to justify why we all are wrong,what might happen to us..More over if anybody came to know about our past record with the Laboratory part we would be hanged…I bet no one in Thapar holds this kind of record till date and i even dont see any competition for this record as well.
