Focus for next few months!
Just like a million other vows I have made in my life after f**ked up exams, I intend to focus on reading the following subjects:-
Economics(Macro & Micro)
Business Statistics
Marketing
God help me. Wish me luck…
Why?
I ain’t a poet,
To pen you a sonnet.
Thy beauty, thy wit
Hath no parallel I bet.
You aren’t the best,
But I like you the most.
My patience goes for a test
When ‘We are friends’ reads your text!
Big, Dull and Sober
Am lazy as the bear;
But you know I am dear
And our hearts so near.
With no further delay
Let me confess right away,
"I miss you everyday"
Why are you far away?

Taking chances…
I’ve changed the blog tagline to ‘Take a chance; Live the life’. The change is because of two people,
- A beautiful girl (with whom I share a complicated relationship)
- Morrie Schwartz, (Protagonist of Mitch Albom’s ‘tuesdays with Morrie‘)
The former has been a pleasant influence in my life for quite sometime and the latter struck me hard in a train journey. Incidentally the former gave me the book to read. Morrie’s opinions on life and loads of things gave me interesting insights. I felt my pursuits have been very concise and shallow. He inspired me to enjoy the pursuit. And for the girl if it is was not for the chance that I took during my graduation days I would have remained far from this interesting person. It is probably the success that inspires me to explore.
Why take a chance?
Because it is very easy to let go of one and be happy. But that is not always the purpose of life. Ain’t it?!
Why live the life?
That is the least of the favour one can do for oneself.

I will be taking chances and will be enjoying my life. Wish you all a great time.
Update(June’10): The tagline was changed recently.
3 Idiots went to watch Radio!
They had an awesome time posing and watching movie! It was fun. Himesh’s antics kept them completely occupied. They feel it was worth every penny spent….
HR rocks!

Delhi High Court legalizes Homosexual relationship. Finally some recognition for homosexuals. They need not be suffocated by the society. A first step towards a giant progress. Good for all, I believe.
Hopeless Reliance Mobile Service
…to know my call charges, I dialled *333 [the Reliance Customer Care]… rings.. call connected – IVR response…“Welcome to Reliance. Reliance Mobile has been voted as India’s Number 1 service brand. Thanks for your support. Today this is your 8th call to the service center”
The IVR continues with Language options. After the choice of language it gives three choices, one to know the account balance, other for other services and the last for changing the language options or previous menu [don't remember]
I choose 2. Some on-hold music starts playing…
1 minute. Ok!
2 minutes. Crap..
3 minutes. Fed up..
Into the 4th minute… Hung the call for the 8th time in that day alone..
I tried a few more times. It was the umpteenth call I made to the Customer care in the last three days. No response.
The toping on all this IVR drama was the Voice response of ‘Reliance Mobile has been voted as India’s Number 1 service brand’. Bull shit! Utter crap! Supremely irritating when you are the customer & your don’t get proper service for days & Your customer service trumphets being voted the best Service brand.
Who on earth conducts these polls & who votes for them?
Notwithstanding the IVR menace, I travelled to the nearby ‘Reliance Communications’ office to discuss the matter. Learnt the tariff plan. When discussed the problem, a smart arse who sits in the customer helpdesk tells, “Why don’t you visit http://www.rcom.co.in/ & log a complaint”. Bloody hell! If that can solve the problem why on earth is he sitting here and rubbing his butt? After a little drama he suggests to call 30333333 another customer care center.
The Reliance irritation has continued to be with me since September, 2008. The connection continued to survive even during my short stay of 5months in Bengaluru. This time around I decided it was heights & got myself a GSM connection within days..
I have used 4 service providers at various points of time in the last 4-5 years. With the exception of Reliance, other providers have been very good.
[Update - 02/11/2009] Started using Reliance once again. Other providers seem to be charging too much! Looks like service has improved.
