My Dear Soumya

I cannot stop imagining your tense face with electric-shocked hair lost in the pool of books and xerox papers all across...As I write this you would be in the middle of your MBA exams...worried, cursing the system and black-mailing God!! But this is what I want to tell you my sweetest sis...

• HR Exam: Whole world knows whom to look for if there is any event or party in world famous Bellary. I still wonder how can you manage all uncles, aunts, neighbours, maids, street vendors, relatives and of course poor friends. You really put HR practices to shame by your atmosphere-creating hocus pocus'. So write what you are doing everyday in your life..forget all those theories..
• OB Exam: Read the above one!! You are a good sis, better friend and best daughter. Coutesy: Your Behavior. How can people stop from admiring and learning your traits. Just share your gyaan on the paper imagining parents, friends and me in an office. Take it easy.
• Finance, Accounting and all other Numbers non-sense: Should I really tell you what to do??!! Friend in need is a friend indeed!! Whole class is your best friends..so drop a hint that you need help to crunch those cruel numbers...I bet you will have hard time to single-out from 92 helpers during number-exam. Isn't MBA all about team work??So...wipe your sweat, sis
• Economics and Strategy Exam: 3/4 th of your management drama is dealt using your demeanour ammunition, i mean above 3 points.That means you have lot lot of time left to prepare for only these two papers. Soooo.. un-knot your brows and go to centre-of-world “Kachori Bandi” to breathe fresh (masala) air. Indulge in some dramatically hssshful gossips from your gang of fatally creative female-pirates of neighbourhood!!

After this much-needed, feel-good break, do learn-by-heart all the thoeries that have come up in last year’s papers to breakeven your tension and effort!! Then.......enjoy the tension...ahaahah. Hey Chinni (on a serious note with grim voice), don't worry much, prepare well and you know you can easily get the grade you want. Take a chill pill. You have been getting good score till now. Happy Exam-partying! Wish you all the best, do well:)

P.S: I spared you lot of time. I wrote short exam-wish for you in jiffy. I too am very busy. May the luck be with your effort:)

Deluge of Erotemes in Time-Famine

• I agree with a strong nod that exponential times have turned many of us into compulsive “informavores” and bonded slaves to herd digitalacy. But why do people fake intellectual orgasm in front of me when it is obviously just an "informational" masturbation…??

So Much to Tell...So Less Time...

10:30 pm. Spectacular hotel nested on the soft sands of the Atlantic Ocean. Luxurious suite with eclectic decoration. ..Cozy couches and pillows in pleasantly lit balcony. Night waves-smooched cool breeze...filling my senses with its mysterious smell...transporting me into some beautiful state...Here I am, with my lappy writing about my 2nd day of travel to third continent in last three months!!
Am in rhapsody or in balcony??? Overlooking the marvellously charming city of Casablanca...I am blogging these feelings. Pot-pourri of cultures, history and ethnicity is oozing day and night from every corner of this lovely city in Kingdom of Morocco. I am liking this night mode of my Casablanca..with waves, old lighthouses, minars on one side and date trees, cutely lit roads on the other from my vintage point...
I am Happy Happy..Iseriuously don’t know why?? It’s my 2nd demanding day in Morocco. I am ready to get bowled over by the wonders yet to discover in coming days...You must visit this place once...

States and Matters

Matter can exist in four states but what about non-matters. Is non-matter an emergent out of matter or "matter" matters because of existence of "non-matter" in us. Gaseous state is nature's sense of humour but liquid and fire states are my favourites. But there are N numbers of states in our lives that we like..apart from very obvious ones like happiness, euphoria, wonder, satisfaction, limitless time to do whatever you want.....bla bla.

Have you ever felt that your are genuinely enjoying everything even small things like taking bath, acting in front of mirror, commuting, meeting people, talking, reading, working and playing...and yet you are detached. This not-attached but cool state is so beautiful isn't it?? I think our mind strips itself of many emotional and mental dependencies just for change, unconsciously. I too was in such a beautiful state for some 4-5 months in last two years. But most often its misunderstood for indifference or inattention or un-emotional state. In fact I was very much concerned about all those “Mattered “people more than they know, I was very passionate about my works and projects, I was in love with knowledge and learning..and I was beautifully emotional too...I don’t know what it is..but it is one of those states where you feel "Unlimited" "Free"..it is like the state when you look at your beloved’s face and cannot stop smiling for nothing, it is like profoundly peaceful state that dawns upon you when you are looking at sea and sand, from a high terrace..esp after the evening drizzle. It is like the feeling when you are "in the middle of" the most adventurous action...totally different. Do you know what it is called as????

And there is one more state which I recommend to you all. It is break-free state. Just switch off your cell phone and break free for a day or two from everybody especially your most intimate, close friends... If possible tell her/him the same thing. "No Prashanth..let’s not do it..No" was the reply..!!! I always feel that is very necessary for relationship, for problems, for energy, for everything. I don’t know any statistics to validate this..but I believe it. But sometimes you see angry faces next day when you meet, fuming “where the hell were you yesterday??? Whatever... you lesser mortals will realize one day

P.S: BTW, How many states are there in India??
