First Attempt


Proud owner of the Nikon D3100... And its time I experimented a little with it...

Thursday, July 21, 2011

And yes.. am back in bangalore.. Final year of my MBA.. And there are so many things on my mind already... So much to achieve.. And so lil time.. How do I do it? I have no clue.. (?????)
There are so many things that I wish to do that I forget about half the things by end of day...

So I finally decide to create a list of things that I need to do in the next 6months before I show my face to the outside world.. The corporate world...(Yes yes...am talking about placements here)

Top priority... Turn my lil pea brain into an information box... I seem to have started on the right note.. Picking up a TOI or an ET every morning from the hostel reception... Reading the important articles whenever I get some free time... So far.. Its going well..
Continuation to the conversion mode - read more and more books... About what?? That's a difficult question... I haven't thought much about it as yet... Not Kotler for sure.. But yea, probably more about Branding, Advertising, Selling and blah blah... After all, no knowledge goes waste..

Weight - that's one thing that I have never managed to achieve since 1984... Yea.. Putting on more weight.. Each time I meet a friend, I get a reaction which says "Hey aditya, u have lost so much weight"... So yea, its time I changed that.. and I alone can do that.. Eat eat eat you moron..

Improve my grades.. Hhmmmm... I dunno why I wanna do that in a B-school... But I think it might just keep me focused to make the above two things happen...

I think ill stick to just these three things for now...At least on the public forum *wink

Soo... Enough things to do for the next 6months... Why am I doing all this? Let's put it this way... Am doing it for my personal growth.. And that's all...
Let's see how it all goes.. I'll probably write again about these things after 6months and see where I am....

Thoughts - Season II

Its been ages I actually penned down some of my thoughts.. And I guess this is the right time to make a comeback (so I wish)... Have had plenty of earth shattering changes in my life in the last few days and maybe it would be fun to collate them to make a small little story...

p.s. Am uploading this random post so as to make a start and get back to writing again. Let's see if it actually works!! Need to get over this lazy behavior.

Family time...

Gauri tai is coming home..she is getting back home tonight….well..that’s wats on my mind all day…it’s a beautiful Monday morning wit birds chirping all around…can hear loud music all over…thanks to the ganpati mandals all around my place…

So..my sis is getting back from London tonight…I ask myself…what is she gonna get for me from a faraway place…maybe loads of chocolates..yummy..loads of them…and loads of gifts…not to forget a few pairs of tshirts, shorts, tracks…jackets…maybe a pair of new nike shoes..wow… or maybe an ipod?? I don’t need one but still…whats wrong in hoping??? Or maybe some new gizmo….

And then the thought crosses my mind…I have all these things…and am not really waiting for these gifts…all am waiting for is my sis getting back to mumbai from a long long tour…full of fond memories…with a handful of stories related to her trip…Bourn mouth, maybe the Isle of Wight , Winchester, the Spinnaker tower, parts of Portsmouth ,Stonehenge, the London Bridge….and many more places….we can chit chat all night…talking about the places out there…not just Europe…but then also the normal office n hectic life…n something about me too then..…about my college life…things related to me…everything…. We could go out tomorrow for a long drive…could show off a few of my driving skills…hehehe…talk about my crushes, my gal friends…get a lil bit of firing too…but that’s ok!!!
And yes, I think again…old days are going to be back…again!!! my sis is getting back home tonight….how else can I express this thought…this is enough to say. .GAURI TAI IS COMING HOME….

late nights

late nights...are special in their own ways...i have too many things happening around me right now...have to complete a few statistics notes before i can go attend tomorrow's lectures...but then its late and i honestly cant stay up for too long...so i decide to keep the bedroom door open so tht i can hear some tennis commentary....sania mirza playing...i personally hate that dame but then..come on...its too late to bother..hehe...and then i have my pc on..with my orkut logged on...am kinda bored of it so have it minimized right now..but yes, its a great back up...
i also have my cell phone around for some sms updates..
and then this happens...i just have to switch on my winamp player...and the music flows...bryan adams..best of me...i'm ready....
i like to see u, thought i'd like u to know...i wanna be with u...everyday...cause i got a feeling...
there is only one thing...i can say...i'm ready...to love u...i'm ready...to hold u...i'm ready...to love u...i'm ready....to hold u....i'm ready as i'm gonna beeeee....
coincidently it starts raining...beautiful weather, cool breeze...it just makes you forget everything around..how i wish i could go to the terrace with my headphones on...sit peacefully and enjoy the rains...no one to disturb, no one to question, no one to answer...just me, myself...this is life...
and it just goes on and on...
suddenly it strikes....alpha...beta..gamma...symbols....notes...books...STATISTICS....
late nights....are special...!!!!!

6am...

"Aditya...uuth aata...saha(6) wajle..sir yetil aata...lavkar uuth"
who is this calling out? waking this young little kid so early in the morning? come on..he is barely ten..he needs some sleep..well, thats my ever so strict and ever so straight forward...my aaji (granny) .
the year is 1993, i cant remember the dates now..the year i started playing table-tennis...to compete..
going back a little more, let me start with the days when my baba (dad) and gauri tai (my sis) used to go to this small little place called YMCA to play table-tennis..i was barely 6 or maybe 7..i was too young to understand this game..i was barely the height of the table..i watched them play..and maybe thats how the interest evolved..in a couple of months, aai (mom) and baba made me join the coaching class at YMCA..i started playing under the guidance of Mr.Suryavanshi, a fairly old man with a stern voice and a sweet tone..does it contradict my statements? well..he was just like that.i used to shiver with fever whenever he gave a stern look, but then he was one of the most caring people i had ever seen..my coaching used to last for 10mins. thats what it was back then..Not like the 2hr and 4hr coaching classes that we have these days..hehe..but then, i was a beginner then and those 10 mins were enough to get my basics right.."Aditya, Forehand drive." and bang, my tiny little head and my hand came up at the right time to play that stroke..hehe...those were the days...Days, months went by and i was upgraded to 20mins of coaching..my my, i felt so proud...
one fine day, my mom said...Suryavanshi sir is retiring...there is a new sir who will coach you...i didnt know what was coming by...my life was about to change...a few days later, when at YMCA..i saw this man, 25yrs of age...short, lanky with a small moustache and almost a bald head..well, he looked so much like my earlier sir..just younger...Mr.Deepak Mani...My new coach...
I was his first student..though upgraded to 20mins coaching, i was a little kid with no experience..and my new sir, was equally new...not to the game but to coaching...he didnt believe in the 20min coaching scheme..well, he had a different mindset...a different style all together..
So thats how it all started...

sir will be here anytime..he comes to pick me up at 6:30 sharp...6 days a week...why? so that he can play with me for an hour..6:30 to 7:30...thats the official time...we never stopped playing before 8am though...he made me work hard, made me play as much as possible...made me exercise...run, jog, sprint, skipping, duck walks, frog jumps, sit ups, shadow practice...god..how i hated doing that. but then, i realised it brought me great joy...happiness...satisfaction...confidence...success...glory...recognition...and it went on and on...it was then and it is now...nothing has changed....

First ever blog

i dont believe myself..Never ever thought of even writing something on the net...my life has always beeen a closed book..very few people know the real me..and am really happy with it..i get my privacy..and maybe thats the reason why i never thought of this blog system..anyways, now that i am here...i should start with something atleast...maybe not today...i have nothing to write...or maybe i do..but i dont know how to express it..i have constant thoughts running through my brains but maybe am just too scared to put it in words...words....expression...fear...
