Saaza e Kala Pani

I still Clearly remember the afternoon of 23 March, 2009 , the day when I was sentenced for Sazaa-e-Kala Paani.

Though the concept of Kala Pani was abandoned in India soon after Independence. However some unfortunes like me still get those sentences after 62 years of independence. Reflecting on my fate reminds me of “Omkara” dialogue in which Langda Tyagi says “Hamari kismet to gaadhe ke l*** se likhi hai.

I hope you would have till now guessed it right ,ya I got a job in Chennai. Ya in the land where the river of Sambhar , fountain of Rasam flows and mountains of rice are heaped on every plate. I am not saying that it is a bad city to live , I am just saying that it is worse than the worst cities in this world to live.

Everything is so wield and uncanny about the city, and so different from rest of India that you wont feel that you are in India. The only indirect evidence that you can get that you are in India is when you make a telephone call back home ,thankfully you wont be charged at ISD rate otherwise , believe me you feel like you are marooned in some eerie island where you find Aborginals saying Hoola hoo and Zinga lala.

It also remind me that one of my friend called me after a long time and asked about my whereabouts I told him, Dude I am not in India, he was delighted to hear that I was in US or UK , but I corrected him by saying that, I am in Chennai , and said it feels more strange and unknown than US and UK.

Let me talk first about the food. Let me tell you an incident , after giving a 4^th degree torture to my taste buds and stomach for a week , on a Sunday (since we were free that day)one of my colleagues(who also happens to from north) decided to have something that was meant for human consumption, knowing the heavenly place we were in , we kept our expectations low and decided to go for a look out for Poori and Sabzi in Annanagar maket(the so considered the cosmo and the most uptown market of Chennai) .But after a futile search of about 1 hr and 20 mins in the blazing sun, where we inquired about our “Poori Sabzi” in some 17 restaurant ranging from small dhabas to good restaurants , we reconciled to our fate by having a plate of Masala Dosa each.

Food in Chennai is horribly costly unless you are willing to share a seat whit a pot bellied (caused due to indiscriminate and abominable consumption of rice) Anna(gentleman).Your next seated Anna will peacefully have about 2 kgs of rice with 2litres of sambhar and 1 litre of Rasam and then will finish his lunch with about half kgs of curd rice and most interestingly that way he will eat these stuff will make you vomit then and there and then it will cost him just 15 bucks. But for you a decent chapatti, dal meal in a good restaurant (b’coz you get these stuff in only select good restaurants) will cost you around 200 to 220 bucks.

Another incident about the food. I was in Madurai with my AGM for some official work .In the evening we found time and went to Meenakshi temple and after the darshan we went to one of the decent looking restaurants in the vicinity of temple and we ordered some paneer and dal. When the waiter brought the two plates , there was a bet between me and my boss to say which plate is daal and which is paneer. Finally we had to leave the entire stuff and pay the entire bill, as such food we even don’t give to dogs at our home , bcoz even they are animals.

I had similar fiascos while trying chat and pani puri after which I have said to any cooked food in Chennai , and trying to survive on packed food and fruits.

To cut the mattershort , there can be a distant possibility of CPM supporting disinvestments but no chance to get a palatable food in Chennai.

Its all in name

Americans have a very peculiar habit. They always come up with fanciful and high sounding names for even very trivial work people.Like a help in a store is known as Customer Sales Associate. A guy in BPO is known as Cutomers Service Executive.Even the chaiwala in SlumDog Millionaire had a fanciful American name.I think it would be a great injustice if we do not do the same favour to rest of the people around us . So here are the few names suggested for these people. 

 

Garden Boy - Landscape Executive and Animal Nutritionist 

House Maid - Family Environs Upkeep Manager 

Typist - Printed Document Handler 

Messenger - Business Communications Conveyer 

Window Cleaner - A Transparent Wall Technician 

Tea Boy - Refreshments Overseer 

Garbage Collector - Public Sanitation Technicians 

Watchman - Theft Prevention and Surveillance Officer 

Receptionist - Office Access Control Specialist 

Cook - Food Preparation Officer 

Cleaner - Office Hygiene Control Specialist

The Phenomenal Red Bull

All right, Ladies and Gentlemen, we have done away with our two years here, in this here place now and it is time now to introduce you to our very own best kept secret…peoples, here is introducing The Phenomenal Red Bull… For those of you who do not know The Phenomenal Red Bull, He is amazinger than The Amazing Spiderman, moves faster than the Flash, is stronger than Superman, awesomer than awesomeness itself, scarier than Rajinikant (for the bad guys) and is older and more mythical than The Phantom. Oh, and you remember Chacha Chowdhary, the guy whose brain worked faster than a computer. Well, the brain of The Phenomenal Red Bull works faster not only than the fastest computer any of you might have in your hostel rooms, it works faster than the 20petaflop computer IBM will build by 2011, and of course by then He will have done an upgrade on his brain too, so that by 2011, it will be faster than the 50petaflop computer IBM will build by 2016, and, of course, by 2016….well, you get the idea.

TPRB* (for The Phenomenal Red Bull) has made our life adventurous in these dreary times, and well, as usual he has always supported the underdog, and has saved the business world many times from the likes of Ramalinga Raju et.al. He is also a connoisseur of arts and science, and supports them e.g. by espousing and imbibing the products of the ancient art and science of harvesting from grains the wonderful and magical amber colored or clear liquids which provide MBA graduates without jobs with a wonderful (if unjustified) feelings of wellbeing and happiness. Thus and in many other ways revealed to you at suitable times, TPRB* (for The Phenomenal Red Bull) is the perfect humanitarian. He also espouses the art of culture by making sure (after imbibing the amber or clear grain derivatives) that you listen to singing and music. It is unfortunate that his usual long working hours give him no other time than late in the night or early morning (around 2-3am) to follow his cultural pursuits, but that is also an example of his infinite wisdom, as he makes sure that you will not be deprived of culture, by making it heard loud at a time when you are trying to sleep, by making sure that you cannot. These and the usual superhero stuff you routinely see in movies and read in comics, but TPRB is more than that. For those who are uninitiated…

1.TPRB did not apply to companies to get a job. Companies applied to TPRB to hire him. Similarly, in the interviews that he decided to grant to companies who he decided to give a chance to hire him, they didn’t ask questions of the Red Bull. He asked them questions.

2.Nobody could offer a salary high enough to hire the Red Bull. He accepted a salary low enough so they could afford to hire him.

3.Profs did not teach anything to the Red Bull in the two years he decided to spend here. He taught them.

4.The global economic crisis was not caused due to subprime loans caused by the real estate market crumbling. It was caused because Red Bull decided to purchase a house in USA. Everyone went into a mad rush to offer him their land to him at the lowest rates possible, and the real estate market took a plunge. 

5. The Red Bull did not buy that house in America. He said it was so cheap it was not up to his standards.

6. The Red Bull was a genius even as a child. When he was in standard 3, he got bored with studying Fermat’s Little Theorem and modified it, and told Fermat that he was dumb. Poor guy was shocked at Red Bull’s brilliance, but Red Bull graciously allowed Fermat to take credit for the changes. Depressed at his ignorance, Fermat never wrote any more theorems and so, the Red Bull modified version became known as Fermat’s Last Theorem.

7.After that the Red Bull got bored of mathematics, and decided to go into business.

8.His first business venture was a mustard oil well. In one go he solved the energy crisis of India and ended the hegemony of OPEC.

9.Red Bull can drink more than Devdas without getting drunk or puking.

10.Sometimes, late at nights, he can be seen jerking his arms and legs in a mysterious manner. If you see him doing that, do not be scared. He is just trying to calm down his mojo. You are allowed to call it dancing.

11.The Red Bull does not need exercise. Ever. The extra volume around his midriff is just his excess karmic energy stored there because of the inactivity of the past two years he spent on vacation here.

12.You are NOT allowed to call it a paunch.

13.The Red Bull might someday decide to indulge in the trivial pursuit of playing badminton with you. DO NOT ACCEPT! You might blown away from the court with the shuttle. Or the sweepers might pick your pieces with the feathers of the broken shuttlecock from the court floor, the next day.

14.The Red Bull once decided to jog. He ran so fast the treadmill broke down. Same with the bench press.

15.Old Jungle Saying 1: The voice of an angry Red Bull makes the blood of Profs and Bosses run cold.

16.Old Jungle Saying 2: Red Bull is NEVER wrong!

17.The Red Bull only rarely wears red.

More later.

P.S. The Red Bull is more real than you are, but none of you can ever know who he is unless he decides to tell you himself.And he would not, because he cares too much for you* (*Old Jungle Saying 3: Any one who dares to see Red Bull's face is bound to get 3 D's and explusion from the college if he is a student, and a pink slip if he is working. If is niether...well, he wouldn't get near enough to see the face of The Phenomenal Red Bull in any case).

Corporate Social Responsibility as Business Strategy

After having got 'C' in his exam in "Corporate Social Responsibility as Business Strategy ", a student goes and confronts Prof(TLRR) about it.

Student: "Sir, do you really understand anything about the subject?"

Prof: "Surely I must. Otherwise I would not be a professor!"

Student: "Great, well then I would like to ask you a question.

If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an "A+" for the exam. "

Prof: "Okay, it's a deal. So what is the question?"

Student: "What is legal, but not logical, logical, but not legal, and neither logical, nor legal?"

Even after some long and hard consideration, Prof cannot give the student an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an "A+", as agreed.

Later on the Prof calls on the student and asks him the same question.
The student immediately answers: "Sir, you are 55 years old and married to a 35 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 23 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. The fact that you have given your wife's lover an "A+", although he really should have got C, is neither legal, nor logical."

Light Pillars

A light pillar is a visual phenomenon created by the reflection of light from ice crystals with near horizontal parallel planar surfaces. The light can come from the sun (usually at or low to the horizon) in which case the phenomenon is called a sun pillar or solar pillar. It can also come from the moon or from terrestrial sources such as streetlights.

Typically seen in polar regions, the vertical columns of light have been appearing along with frigid temperatures at lower latitudes this winter

Recruitment Process

After undertaking umpteen harrowing aptitude test , psychometric tests which has been designed by recruitment companies after extensive research and lot of surveys and validation , I don’t find any real connect between the true skill sets of a person and the way he presents them in these test. In order to overcome this problem to I suggest a new recruitment method to be followed as I think it would help to reduce this dissonance. This can well be an excellent substitute for long drawn recruitment process of GD , Project presentation and multiple round of interviews.

The Process

Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation.

If they are counting the bricks.
Put them in the accounts department.

If they are recounting them.
Put them in auditing. 

If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks.
Put them in engineering.

If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order.
Put them in planning.

If they are throwing the bricks at each other.
Put them in operations.

If they are sleeping.
Put them in security.

If they have broken the bricks into pieces.
Put them in information technology.

If they are sitting idle. 
Put them in human resources.

If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved.

Put them in sales.

If they have already left for the day. 
Put them in marketing.

If they are staring out of the window.
Put them on strategic planning.

And then at last but not least. If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved.
Congratulate them and put them in top management.

Way out of present Recession

The story is inspired by Kewat liiti wala who puts up his kiosk outside Kamani Centre in Bistupur , Jamshedpur

So the story...

It is about a man who upon a time was selling “Litti” by the roadside

He was illiterate, so he never read newspaper

He had some hearing problem, so never listened to radio

His eyes were also weak , so never watched television.

But enthusiastically, he sold lots of littis.

He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales.

His sales and profit went up

He ordered for more and more raw materials .

He recruited few more supporting  staff to serve the increasing customers.

He started offering home deliveries and taking party orders. Eventually he got himself a big shop in the area.

As the business was growing his son who just graduated from college , joined his father’s business

Then something strange happened 

The so asked the dad , “Aren’t you aware of the great recession that is coming our way.

The father said, “ No, I am not aware about it , but tell me .

The son said, “ The international situation is bad.  The domestic situation is going to be worse. We must be prepared for the coming bad times.

The man thought that since his son has been to college and listens to radio and reads newspaper his advise must not be taken lightly.

The next day he cut on the raw material orders , took off all the special schemes, removed the decor of his restraint and laid off his employees.

Very soon fewer people and fewer people bothered to stop at his shop because of the lost sheen and the various offers been taken off.

His sales came down and came down rapidly his profits.

The father said to his son, “ Son u were right. We are in the middle of a crisis and I am glad that u have warned me ahead of time.”

MORAL of the story: Its all in our mind. And actually we FUEL this recession, mush more than it is by not hiring people.

IIT

The Indian Institutes of Technology is another name for IIT, which is the acronym for Institute of Infinite Tension, Institute of Indian Technology, etc. These institutes of so-called national importance were set up by the Indian Parliament at various campuses across India, decided purely on merits of political alliances of the ruling party. Operation IIT began under Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to reduce the average intelligence of Indians. Just like Zion in Matrix, where 3% of the people who do not accept the Matrix are gathered together to prevent dissent as a whole, IITs were formed by the Government of India to gather at one place the 3% of the intelligentsia of the country and export them away. The IITs have proved to be very productive, growing from a single institute in 1951 to 16 now (and counting).

Admission

The admission to IIT is via an exam called JEE. Various definitions for JEE have been suggested. The most commonly accepted of them is "Just Engineering and Engineering". The geeks and nerds of India start preparing for IIT-JEE right after entering kindergarten. A very effective test of whether a guy is fit for getting into the IITs is asking a very simple question: "Do you have a girlfriend"? A guy who says anything else other than "What's a girl?" would not get through the test. Girls are considered unfit to get into IITs, though some girls manage to get the application forms as they look like guys. To make sure no girl gets through the system by bribing to get the application forms, the applicants are required to specify their gender and affix a photograph in the application form. Those faces that resemble anything girly are not selected.

The entrance exam, IIT-JEE, is an extremely selective undergrad admission process (accepting less than 3% of their applicants). Whether it is extremely selective or extremely rejective has always been an issue of debate. Sources close to the institute say that it was designed to teach the masses how to face rejection. The original plan was to reject everyone, but the fallout was that people stopped giving the test. Eventually they had to invent IITs so as to inspire people to take the test.

As they say, if the input is right, the output is automatically right. The six-hour Joint Entrance Exam held, as the name suggests, jointly by IITs, consists only of questions on Physics, Chemistry and Maths and not on practical details like Booze, Drugs, Crime, Pr0n etc. which severely distort the quality of the incoming students. Since the Indians are well known for cramming up loads of information, questions in JEE are never repeated.

Recently there have been a lot of protests and demand to admit a percentage of students on the basis of quota system. Their argument has been that IITs have always admitted a large number of students who came through the Kota system, and all they are demanding is correcting the 'historically wrong' spelling. Opponents argue that this will be unfair to the non-Kota (non-quota) students and two wrongs don't make a right.

Education

The IIT curricula is carefully decided so that there is no scope of learning anything. The students are hence forced take up alternate learning routes, most common being Pr0n. The IIT alumni on knowing the tremendous potential of internet, provided all hostel rooms with free and unlimited internet connection. The IIT administration tried to propound their agenda by putting lecture videos on the LAN, but this news is yet to be confirmed as this has not been tried by any student. The IITians are also forced to eat mess food, preparing them for the worst they will ever face in life.

The guys also learn how to make 50 palladins in 25 minutes and get three frags per shot. Some of the creative minds also make a quick buck by selling MMS clips online. Since there are assignments to be submitted every now and then, the guys also learn how to use Googleadeptly. Photocopying centres are provided for every 100 metres of road so that time wasted in photocopying assignments is minimized. Lecture classes are held from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. IST (Indian Stretchable Time). It has been established by years of testing that the time can be stretched to as much as 30 minutes beyond provided it is backed by a cardinal excuse. The summary and results of many such experiments has been documented well in a book by an IITian titled "Five Point Someone: What not to do at an IIT". The book also deals with complex issue of dealing with a girl in IIT.

Life and culture (or lack thereof)

When entering the IIT, a guy has two options. The first is to take up the common learning route described above. Since IIT-JEE makes sure a lot of mavericks are selected, many of them also end up being happy among themselves. The girls in IITs (usually referred to as Non-Males and measured as parts of girl per million parts of guy) have to struggle keeping their identity secret throughout their stay in IITs. Sometimes they are forced to tell the truth, like when a gay IITian proposes mistaking them for a guy.

Alumni

The alumni of these institutes have been very successful across the world. Most of them either get frustrated and leave technical education to study management at IIMs, or start a company of their own in a far-off valley. There are also a select few who develop a fetish for studies and end up in institutes like Massachusetts Institute Of Technology. An interesting aspect is that, alumni of these institutes form the second-largest graduate student group at MIT, the largest being MIT undergrads.

Gabbar's Orkut profile

This is Gabbar Singh's profile that I came across on orkut :D:D

Lucky Chap

If I look back on my academic career I find myself lucky that I got some fabulous teachers who not only were very good in teaching were also a very good source of inspiration and motivation that made learning easier.

I would take this opportunity to thank them who has greatly contributed to me and making me a person that I am today.

I would like to start in the reverse chronology.

Ya first in XLRI Pitabas Mohanty, be it Corporate Finance, Security Analysis , Portfolio Management , Excel Modelling or for the matter of fact any area in Finance , he is a genius. I happened to take 3 courses of his, and my adoration for him went on increasing in each course. I sincerely wish that he could have taken all the finance course in XLRI. The rigour of his analysis and the immense research work he has undertaken makes him certainly stand out. The ease with which he can explain things and the give sound theoretical background for it is just amazing. No doubt he has co –authored the legendary books with Brealey Myers and Bodie Kane. I sincerely own all my knowledge in finance that I gathered in XLRI to him.

Another thing I liked about his classes were that, he didn’t allow any ACP and DCP in the class  :P :D

The other person has to Prof S .Govindrajan , though took only half of the sessions of Sales and Distribution , but he is another genius of his area. It was first time in XLRI that I did enjoy any marketing course and it was for the first time marketing did make some sense to me, otherwise it has been too abstract for me to digest. Though his rendezvous with me was so small that I cant say much about him but whatever it was it was a great learning experience for me.

In IIT it has to be Ashish Darpe another genius, although a Prof of Solid Mechanics area ,but can teach anything that required brains. Simply awesome brain, memory and aptitudes. Any questions asked in class (how so ever good)pat came the reply. I remember very clearly he catching Keshav for proxying even in a batch of 66 odd people , right on day 4, when most profs don’t even know the name of single guy. The beauty of it was not that he remembered the name but some how he figured out that he was not the right guy. Though one would not get the entire episode , but believe me he was really awesome. Thought there were some other great professors of engineering design But I simply did not have any aptitude for drawing and sketches and as usual struggled with it. But whatever I could understand I thought there were good.

In FIITJEE during my IIT JEE preparation I think I got the best faculty who could have taught an IIT aspirant and I sincerely own my IIT success to them (apart from my parents and friends at DPS RK Puram). Be it the physics faculty Mr. Neelkamal Setia aur Chemistry faculty Mr. Partho Halder they were simply amazing . the clarity of concept and the ease with which they solved students problems were seriously out of the world. They made even very typical problems look like a sitter. However I have some reservations about the Maths faculty dude to a personal reason , it was not that he was not good , but he had the problem of starting the topic with a very difficult problem and the going to super hard , ultra hard and them to mega hard which made me keep guessing as to what was going around. That was may be due to fact that I wasn’t that good in maths as was in physics or chemistry. But whenever I did my initial preparation before going to his class I found them immensely useful, but such occasions were only occasional.

Well in DPS due to a very limited number of courses got to see only a few teachers and maybe amongst them the best I could say is Ms Minu Kanwar was the best. She was quite affectionate and sweet and she would be the only faculty whom I really adored amongst all I got to see in DPS.

Ya in St. Joseph’s  it was Ms Florence ,Girdhar Sir , Lalit Sir . Ms Florence was my class teacher in UKG but still I remember about her till today. Right from the day 1 I went to UKG to the last day of that class in UKG. She left the school after I went to next class. She is the woman whom I respect and adore the most after my mom. The care she took in the class and the way she paid attention to children will ever remain with me. She never made me feel absence of my mom in the school and I never complained about going to school.

 Girdhar Sir for being an ocean of knowledge. Incidentally whatever he used to teach always remained with me. Thought I did not take biology after class X , but still I remember a lot of it till today. His lectures most of the people found boring but I seriously differ. Only the practical gave me nightmares because it required sketches L.

Lalit Sir because of his dedication and perseverance. Thought he was not one born great but he sincerely achieved it with his hardwork and dedication. He was really dedicated for the students.

I would like to close by thanking my teachers  Birender Sir , Mritunjay Sir and Bhavendra Sir who were really great and played a great great role in my academic success.
