Bas itna hi…

I was reading some blogs yesterday,when I came across this line…”I want the money…I want to achieve financial freedom…I want to feel the wind in my hair…” …something like tht…

All of us want money and are willing to work hard for it…There’s only one problem,by the time most of us achieve financial freedom, we reach tht age where we are left with no hair…There is wind but you aint got any hair…

Talking about hair,had a conversation with Suril,Hiren and Avinash…Avinash was sharing his experience about some ayurvedic oil which helped him reduce his hairfall…I found it odd tht so many guys were interested to know about this wonder drug(me included)…All of us belonged to the same club…All of us had hair problems…
I dont know about other courses,but engg. leads to rapid hairloss(I got exihibits to prove my case)…There are so many friends(most of them engineers) who are in the process of achieving complete baldness.
I think if Mumbai University decides to prepare a ad campaign for its courses in engg. it will have the tagline - “From SRK to anupam Kher in 4 yrs”

Its been 4 yrs…most of us have attractive salaries today…But all this at the cost of our health…
What have we really achieved?? 25K cant bring back my thick black locks…

I dont feel 18 any more…Tht maybe coz I am 22…But I dont even feel 22…
I have lost a lot of hair…There was a time when they said I had hair like a bear…There were some female friends who felt I copied SRK’s hairstyle…Actually its the other way round(tht will remain SRK’s dirty little secret…He will never admit it,I am sure…)I wanted a hairstyle like John Stamos(remember Full House..?)Now i know thts a little difficult…
I like my hair…I dont wanna loose them…I promised myself tht after engg. I ll take proper care of my hair…But from what I hear,life after engg. is more hectic…makes me wanna reconsider joining my co.-Siemens.

I wanna do something where I have time for myself…Wanna do something where I achieve financial freedom before I achieve baldom…

Wanna feel the wind in my hair while they last…

Read in the papers today tht Slinga Malinga has got the coveted(?) award of being the sexiest cricketer…

What? What about Murali? Those eyes speak a thousand words…more so when they pop out when he is bowling

What about Dwayne Leverock?…size mattered the last time I checked…

And what about our own doodh-loving mama’s boy - Sehwag? So what if his hairline is receding faster than his popularity…

Well I thought if these guys in the media can do some tp(timepass,kitne baar batana padega?),so can I…
Here is my tp..er..list of Top 5 sexiest cricketers…

1.Sourav Ganguly: Has to be him…I might be a little partial here since he is my fav…But if u have any doubts about he being sexy #1 ,check him swinging his shirt in the Lord’s balcony…lol
Sexy here would be his persona,his attitude,his leadership skills…The last time we looked like world-beaters was when he was the captain…

2.Shane Bond: The name is Bond…Shane Bond…Just one word for him..Refreshing…The only player who can be called more refreshing than him in world cricket ever has to be Ajay Jadeja
Shane Bond’s endearing smile helps him appear on my list at #2…Smiles a lot,doesnt he?

3.Brett Lee: If theres anyone in the Australian team whom I like and is worth mentioning on my list,it has to be Lee…
Boyish charm is his territory…The only guy who can challange Lee in this dept. would be Afridi,but I guess he lost hold when he grew a stubble…
Observation:Its difficult to look boyish in a stubble…

4.Stephen flemming: He oozes style…He doesnt try hard…Infact he doent even try…but stil looks the part.He is a guy whom even older women will fancy.One word…Handsome

5.Tie-Mahela Jayawardene and Lara:both are serene,non-intimidating,cool kind of guys…Good captains…One word - Buddha

I had a lot of time on my hands and couldnt think of a topic,so this post…

P.S.-I am straight…

Now tht I stay at my home in Mulund for the PL(prepatory(?) leave),you can expect me to blog more…This also means the Quality of the posts is going to come down(not tht it was very high to start with)

In other words….you are gonna get more crap than you ordered for!!

The best feeling in the world is to prove the world wrong!

This post is important for all those guys who want to know how achievers think…

There is a girl in my class who got selected for the interview at Schlumberger..
There are very few girls whom I rate so highly…She was in a bit of dilemma(or so I thought)…
She has two companies in her kitty already…SLB would be the third if she makes it…
She has a score of 1480 in GRE…and A GPA of over 8.0…This guarantees a seat in the best univ. in the US
She scored 99.32% in CET this yr..This makes her elligible for Jamnalal Bajaj(one of the top coll in the country)
She was a merit ranker in SSC
She is a NTSE topper(tht makes her one of the best in the country)

I asked her if she was confused with so many choices to make…
She: Not at all…
Me: So what do you plan to do after BE?
She: Job,obviously!
Me: Then why give GRE,CET?
She: To make a point!!
Me: To make a point??Whom do you wanna make a point to???
She: To my parents…To my friends

Why does she feel like tht??Hasnt she made a point already??

She has made many points!! She has made a line!!
Still she cant let go!!

Why cant people let go? Relax a little…enjoy the scenery…lift the foot off the pedal a bit??

After all that we have achieved we still want to prove a point…

Hope one day we can start living for ourselves…

P.S.-This post is not to prove her right or wrong…This post is to give the readers a insight into the minds of the best in the city
Btw,I endorse her view…but cant help feeling guilty in the process.

I guess we were not just born to kick butt,top every exam,crack every interview…

I hope there is a day in my life when satisfaction would overcome desire…Waiting for that day…

Pls read THIS post on SLB to understand kya jhool chalu hai

As expected,Deepak made it…So did Jagruti…The following guys did not make it-Rahul Bhat,Sameer,Supriya and above all(heh heh)me!
You could say I am in good company(no pun intended)…

Along with this post I would also like to share this experience…

Now as most of you would know,Sclumby was a dream company…majorly coz it had an enormous package(7.5 lacs)
When I was at their corporate office,I met a petroleum engineer from MIT pune…He was currently placed in Singapore in some company(whose name I dont remember) This company is Schlumby’s competitor and pays him 20 lac Indian rupees per annum….

He was here at SLB to give an interview.SLB was ready to pay him more than the current co he was in.

Now,MIT is an average college…with average students…Still they managed a salary tht would make grown-up men cry…
He was not very happy though…

“In this industry you get a lot of money,but you dont get time…”

Still,he couldnt let go of the money.After earning about 40 lacs for the last 2 yrs he still yearned for more…

Here he was at SLB,ready to slog…maybe for the last time…or maybe not…

Maybe money is the most important thing life…or maybe not…
