When time flies so fast....

So far I would rate this week the most chaotic and hectic and happening week for me this year.. definitely among the top three ... speaker event for the club .. accounting courses .. submission in week one itself.. n in next three days submissions n presentations.. wow.. I like this atmosphere. .. its so full of energy.. so much to do.. then gotta attend other events as well to stay tuned to whats happening in MBA .. wow..

One of my cousins got married in India this week.. it was fun as was told to me.. lot of functions in two days .. ceremonies.. dance .. party .. great food .. I love Indian marriages.. Last week I went to a near by beach with one of friends - Mak.. who happens to be a photographer as well in his free time.. I am posting some of his pics .. the fact that I am in those pics is just a coincidence.... Hope you will like them...

While I am preparing myself for the next week you must be wondering if I am so busy why the hell I am wasting time by writing a blog.. well thats what I have learnt at MBA so far... things will happen no matter what you do.. keep those things in perspective which matters to you... take some time off and do the stuff which you like.. its about time management.. I am taking the first baby steps in this direction.. but still gotta lot to catch up.. ...

In Pursuit of HappYness

Having watched that movie I have realized how wrong I was. Amount of work put in by us is nothing - absolutely nothing as compared to Chris Gardener. That guy is awesome. I could not have imagined anyone pulling it off in such extreme conditions before watching the movie. And guess what its a real life time story. Hats off to that guy (in real life). Despite all the hardships he knew what he wanted .. he wanted to be with his son.. he believed he could do it.. n he did. He did it for his son... Impressive.. !!!!

I remember reading it somewhere..

How badly you want it
How hard are you willing to work for it
How far will you go to get that..

Answers to these three Qs will define or give you the idea about how passionate you are about something in life. Answer these Qs to yourself not to anybody else to realize what you need in life. You will know how important that thing is to you.. rest will follow accordingly..
Getting philosophical.. eehhh.. yeah.. but it is a hard fact..unless untill you are really passionate about something you would not get it.. even if you get it.. you would not enjoy it.

Still need time to get the character of that movie off the mind..

So many things to do

Sometimes I wonder is it
- less time which is forcing me not to do all the things I have planned OR
- my lack of time management skills which forces me to not to do things the way I have planned..
I know the answer but do not want to answer that.. I am afraid to accept the fact that even the grueling 8 months of MBA has so far not taught me time management.. I wonder if I will ever be able to learn that.. its tough..for me atleast.. I want to have some uncertainty drive my life.. not to have control over things all the time.. though it adds some stress but it is more fun at the same time.. just to give you an glimpse of what I am saying..

"I have no fixed schedule of sleeping.. I may sleep for 20 hours in a day (believe me I can do that.. infact I did that yesterday when there was no power in my block for 24 hours .. yes.. its true ..it happens in Canada as well) or may sleep for as little as 4 hours when I am watching 4 movies back to back..

I sleep sometime as the normal human beings .. from 10 pm - 8 am in the morning..
Sometime my timings are 7 am - 4pm... sometime I break my sleep hours in 3-4 breaks of 2-3 hours each evenly distributed through out the day..:) "

this is what I like in my life.. randomness.. I love it.. but yes.. it forces me on backfoot (like a rising bouncer in a cricket match) since sometimes I am not able to achieve as much as I would like to.. but that is fine.. I accept that.. At the same time I am able to keep myself flexible enough to do things which otherwise are not possible.. like talking to all my friends across globe in a week.. having different time schedule.. ...

This phase in my life will always remain very special for me.. since after joining professional world, I realized there were so many things which I could have done as a student ... the freedom it gives you over your own life.. is amazing.. I am enjoying every moment of this aspect in MBA.. and at the same time learning so many great things.. its amazing..

still.. so many things to do.. which I am not finding time to do.. I am trying to figure out the ways to achieve more out of 24 hours.. meanwhile if you have any suggestions do post them as a comment.. wd appreciate that..:)

I was running against time to achieve all my dreams and ambitions..
so I kept moving without waiting for success........ ... ... ...

Term III

This Morning

Life has begun again, Father
You have given me another day of grace,
Another day to live:
to speak to someone,
to touch someone,
to ask for something,
to take something,
to give something.
Whatever I make of this day,
Whatever I become this day
I put into Your hands

What a lovely way to start new day, new venture, new project, new assignment and of course new term. Yes we have the new term staring at us starting next week. How do I know.? I have started receiving mails from the profs for the submissions due next week. No more fun. No more dating. No more flirting. No more dreaming. No more chatting. .. it hurts.. I need somebody to wake me up from this dream break of two weeks which we luckily got this time.

It went by in a flash. I still have not finished even half the items on my list of 'To Do' during this break. I have not even finished watching a quarter of the movies I had planned to watch in this break.. ahh..

Looking fwd to this new term .. We will have new cases.. new faces in the class (since we get to chose our courses), new profs, new rooms (we are moving into a new building for this term. It will be more fun with late night submissions, groun discussions and internship hunt and project work. Wow.. so much to catch upon in next 6 weeks..

I was lucky in term II to get my internship. Having secured that I hope to concentrate (believe me its just a thought..) fully on studies. No distractions !!!! ;) But summer is here.. SUN is here .. no more rain.. only bright warm sunny days.. it will be tough to sit n study... its not an excuse.. Still I will try hard .. not to ..

Keep watching this space for more.. in near future.. I will be back with some more interesting stuff.. But before I leave here is another lovely poem

Hope for tomorrow

Hope thinks tomorrow will be brighter;
Faith knows,
And knowing, is the surer of the two,
And makes it true.

But when the morrow lengthens into night
And shadows throng,
Hope, like another dawn, transfuses faith
And makes it strong
