Hi everybody ...
How are you doing ? I am two weeks into the job ! And I must say it has been en eventful two weeks. Lots of learning, innovation and growth. The first two weeks have been spent learnign the business perspective of ITC and some of the critical decision making which haunts all businesses. With 5 other engineers and 11 MBA students, it has been a small stint where I have experienced a pinch of group dynamics, a bit of strategic business developing, and a lot of nostalgia. Yups ! I miss you all a lot. More on it later when I get my laptop in the next week. Till then. Take care. Luv you all.

To all of you
"A new phase of life about to start,
With a racing pulse and a pounding heart,
With hopes and aspirations to achieve something huge ......"
I dont remember the rest. that was the first poem I heard, recited when came to IIT five years back. Written by a friend, the first few lines have etched a place in my memories forever. Project over, finally a Mtech. There's not much of hapiness though, it seems to be such a monotonous ritual now, having seen so many of my seniors clear this hurdle with ease. The ease factor does take away the fun factor from a hurdle.
Now for people who visit this blog often (or are rather forced to !). Thanks for being such an integral part of my emotions, feelings, the sojourn of my personal feelings in the past few months. The next phase of life is going to be drastically different. I am a bit apprehensive if I ever will be able to give time to Orkut, logging, staying in contact with friends. Though I must say i will try my best.
[Taru] You were my inspiration to blog actually. I read your blogs and found them very interesting and deep. :) Whatever you write is absolutely amazing.
[Shreya] You visited my blog accidentally and then came back. Thanks for the company.
[Saransh] Another avid reader. The first person i contact after having written a blog for feedback. yo !! Start blogging dear and keep up the enthu.
[Maru] A dear friend/junior. The one in which you wrote abt the trek turned me nostalgic.
[Boka] Sahi hai bhai. Kadak hai. December mein aaja yaar. Its been an year now. - tttdh But somehow tere passout hone pe zyada senti tha yaar main
[Khushboo] Ab Kya bolu. Nahi bol sakta. :). "An enigma very hard to explain". Do get to the tennis pro-circuit. And live life as you have been living till now. Aaj subeh srsly man kiya ke waapas chala jau Bombay :). Seemed nature was conspiring and didn't want me here.
How was the presentation besides ?
Ofcourse this is not the last blog. But it marks the end of a milestone. I plan to stay away from the comp a while when I get to Chennai. Plan to run a lot, play a lot, read a lot, not get into close relationships :), do what i used to do in my school days. Its tough to part once these bonds develop; that is what i have discovered these last couple of days.

Reflections
Hopefully I will be graduating today. After the presentation in the evening today, I will know for certain. Still performing a few simulations, my last piece of research here in IIT (assuming I graduate).
One of my professors met me today and gave me a beautiful card. It had a picture of IIT Bombay (in the '70s). Amazing shot, I took some time to comprehend the hostels and other places of IIT in the snap. And that is because IIT has changed such a lot in these 30 years (And mark my words : It has nothing to do with the processor speed or the CPU as some might think.)
I have to do a lot of things in these last 2-3 days and I don't know where to start. I hate this part ! where you have to sort out everything before leaving a place but I do hope I get to do it often enough in life.
I noticed I have been missing my school a lot in the past few days. I don't know why ? All that I have been discussing with my friends has been my school memories. Even blogging abt my school days; turning people nostalgic :)
I have been ruminating on some philosophical issues as well. I was in a long discussion with a friend the other day. We were discussing whether Gandhi would ever be recongized or worshipped as a GOD. My views were that since Gandhi has scripted the story of his life quite boldly in his autobiography, the notion and the feeling of "GOD" shall never cling on to him. He will be considered a mortal human being; with people either liking him a lot or criticising him for his actions. Nice talk though led to no conclusions. No-one was ready to wither form the opinions we had in our minds even before the discussion started.
And yeah Italy triumphed. All Germany supporters; I hope they are not sad. Germany was never expected to reach this far and they have truly given the world cup a lot with their passion for the game and the spirit with which they played. I would love to coach an Indian team someday and take them to the world cup finals. I was even thinking of the possible comments I could give in press conferences before/after matches.
The week has been quite informative as well. I have learnt that a foreign trip awaits me in the future. It has been confirmed that i have a lot of enemies but on the contrary i would always lead a peaceful life without too many struggles ! All this at the stroke of a hand. Nice little piece of info ! Its fun to have a glimpse of the future.
I think its time to sleep ! 4 more days to go and then I am off to Chennai ! What a transformation that would be. Looking forward to the venture.
