Hum toh aise hai bhaiya...

Classes mein sona, raat ko dekhna movie aur karna poore time masti yahi hai zindagi... Bahut time ho gaya tha kuch naya kare huye.. so aaj maine sirf aadhi class he attend ki :D phir thoda nahar ghooma, then friends ko kiya thoda pareshan aur dopahar mein kiya maine aaram. Fin ki class mein toh amazing thi, main tha class ke ander aur dimag tha bahar, sir ke meri taraf dekha toh sar hila diya ki "I understood", woh baat alag hai ki kuch samajh mein aaya aur thoda padosi ne samjhaya baaki maine nahi samajhna beheter paya. Par aa din toh tha kuch alag, phir kya tha shaam ko karne nikal gaya jogging friend ke saath raste mein socha ki koi naya route try karte hain aur ek alag raste pe chale gaye, bahut mazaa ayaa but waat lag gayi (actually route bahut he lamba tha) return mein college ki bus se wapas aaye :P
khair abhi tak toh yahi kiya hai, dekho aaj aur koi dhamaka hota hai kya.

Kampus...

Hi,
I am not feeling good at the moment, just want to cry my heart out. A lot of things are going about and I am just not into them. Life is looking like being alone everywhere you are, friends are there still you are alone. Don't know what to do, where to go.

Lots of feelings trying to burst out... but anyway just wanted to post few pics of Kampus at night.

Lost n lonely

Revising 3 Idiots...

"Saari umrr hum mar marke ji liye
ik pal toh abb hamein jine do, jine do

give me some sunshine, give me some rain
give me another chance i wanna grow up once again"

Yesterday I had watched the movie "3 idiots" again, something in the movie always made me think is life really what we want or is it what it becomes. We all are running the rat race to score the best and leave behind the rest.
I came to this point because of an event that happened today - we were to select the subjects that we wanted in 2nd year of our course at Kozhikode. The wierd thing about the selection process is that not everyone would have the subjects of their interest, one who scored maximum grades in 1st year gets maximum points to bid. Result the rat race continues, some get the subjects of their choice while other lag behind. Another interesting phenomenon that came to light was, how easily we adopt ourselves to the money matters. We don't see that we have any specific interest in any area or not, it like the area that has got the maximum paying job, I would take that as my specialisation.
Did we ever realise what are we making of ourselves - a machine. That machine which only sees money. We don't realise that we can excel in other areas also but its the lure of greenback that attracts us like a magnet.
It was due to this incident that I realised what the movie potrayed about the system was not wrong. The pressure is intense to excel Why??? because you are the best and competing against the best brains in the country. But once I would like each one of us to ask a simple question is it worth the price we all are paying or its just the way of life??

Holi...

The days were still sweet, when the innocence was still there, it used to fun being with everyone nad celebrating all te festivals. Today its holi and still there is not much feeling inside. Why is it so? Has the world corrupted me of my feelings or I am too much mired in the ways of the world where I have lost myself. There is huge unrest within me and that is making me feel worse and worse. I know its a beautiful day but there is something missing which is making me go mad. Hoping to find the way in the darkness of the world.

Hectic...

Phew... last week was really hectic.. the first week that I can really say that made life at K challenging ;) seriously yaar not joking. Had loads of work, coupled with scores of classes and to add to the topping a few quizzes, so all in all had a wonderful ass kicking week. So in the end wht??? Its more of sweet time after a hectic day we all relax so thats what I am doing now. Trying to make up my mind when to start studying for the final terms to start next week... if anybody got an idea what should be the right time please let me know :)
Take care

Life @ K...

How trivial is the title - Life @ K...

But still I found it to be the best one for this post... why so.. don't ask me but just keep on reading and find out the reason, and if you find none its not my fault ;) ... its been a long winter out there but still no sign of cold breeze out here... its pleasant and fun to be here... I am now into the end of my 5th months stay here and still I think am new here as well as this place belongs to me, its this dual feeling that keeps me going. People say life tough in a B-school but for me its just the opposite, its more of fun than being tough, why I am saying this you would come to know soon. Life @ K for me is in real sense... Movies Masti and Maggie...
In the last 4-5 months I have seen so many movies, more than that I have seen in the last couple of years... I don't study so full time its masti for me... and as usual its the staple hostlers diet - Maggie @ 3 in night... Sounds hard to believe that even in IIM you get time for timepas, even I am surprised on that aspect. My first term was a bit of acclimatising to the people, climate and myself (even you do change when you change your location ;) ). Life at that time was a bit dull and depressing for me, coz it was raining all the time and I don't like rains that much, but later on its was all this that makes you like this place. Now it all feels so much a part of me and I feel great to be a part of it...
Well, am tired of writing so much ;), so more on a later date till then have a great time and be with me...

I am also putting some pictures have a look at God's Own Kampus :)

Movies, Masti and Maggie

As always I amback after a long time, but this time I intend to stay here for quite a while. Its been 4 months now in Kozhikode and still everyday I feel I am new to this place. Somehow this place cant get itself into my mind ;)
The same ol' MBA routine out here... " Movies, Masti and Maggie "
The life is a bit of strange here... lots of things to do and still you feel you have lots of time with you... hard to imagine that doing an MBA and you are not busy as such... although for the world you are very busy ;) nahi toh MBA mein jaane ka fayad kya hua....
Its 2.47 at night and I have an exam day after tomorrow.. but yaar padhne ka mann he nahi kar raha hai... lots of things to do... par saala dimag nahi chal rela hai....
I have all the books nealty stacked up... so that I can find them at one place whenever I want them ( this never happens though ) life aise he chalti hai.... kabhi khushi to kabhi exam....
par kuch bhi ho.. kabhi na badlenge hum :)

Have a great time and enjoy your life...
Cheers
Manish :)

Life Colorless...

Its been a more than 3 months of my stay in IIM K... life here is good, but still am not able to get on grasps with it... still have the feeling of being lost or left out... there are so many of things happening out here but I dont know what to do where to talk... life somtimes becomes so difficult that I am not able to breathe also... Its been a long time since I had last blogged but today to be very honest, I just wanted to pour out my frustrations and everything that was inside me and was burning me to hell... in past few months I have completely lost out myself and thats making me more and more isolated in this world... earlier life was a bit better but here I am just a lonely soul... the best part there are many people in my life and still I have no one to share my heart with.. as those who matter dont have time for me... Never knew that life could be so bad everytime I think about it.. its like that nothing could be worse than this but the more I think so.. the bigger is the surprise for me. Its like don't underestimate me I can turn from bad to ugly in jiffy...
You know I just want to pour out everything but cant do that, I dont know whats pulling me back.. but whatever it is I just dont want to be suffocated... its heart wrenching... there are so many colors of life.. but why are they far from me... well still life goes on... be it lonely or be it sad.. be it worse or be it bad.. at the end its my life... its what I have...

Searching...

"Har lamhe mein chahat hai, Har chahat mein hai khushi,
Jo mil gayi woh hai hamari, jo na mil woh thi he nahi..."

I always wonder what do I want and what do life wants from me, but whenever I sit and contemplate the issue, I am left staring at a blank wall. I dont know where to go or where I am leading myself. Its my destiny leading me or I am shaping my destiny... lots of questions remain unanswared but more questions keep coming... I dont know the answers but am desperately trying to find some... I dont know myself... I am I someone or am I None...

Lethargic...

Time is moving at its own slow pace... but I am moving more slowly than time... I dont know what has crept into me but I am unable to make sense of anything thats goin around me... It all seems too much far off from me.. as though I was never a part of it... life seems to be too busy to take notice of me.. I dont know who I am .. I dont know where I am heading.. I dont know myself... I am lost... I am alone.. I am not what I am...
