fevicol... spider man... surf excel !!!!






The title of the post is about the ads that I created for CLICK competition. It was funny for obvious reasons. I enjoyed doing ads especially on the theme "IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING". I was working on creating the ads right from morning till evening. I used the shades of the spider man for surf excel !!!. I hope you people know about black spider man in spider man sequel. I used surf excel to take out the dark shade and gave him his original dress.

I did one more ad on fevicol and spider man.



The worst thing about today's class is I couldnt understand what QAM mam was teaching us. I am not practicing any of the problems she is giving :(.

Finally our group started working on economics project. We divided work but no one knows what to do exactly :(. I took the work of writing survey questions and to attain some graphs :).
By the way, I have written survey questions for a topic in Behavior in Organisation. My TL(vivek) is yet to approve my questions :).

Nothing has happened today to write :(.

Work Done 0%... Satisfaction 200%

The title of the post is about my visit to Lucknow city. This is the third visit to the city in this week.
The frequent visits are just because of the availability of the bike otherwise it could have been a record :). The purpose of the visit was to get some information from Airtel office for a project work. But the purpose shifted its route from project work to shopping. Airtel office was closed by the time we went there. We then went to sahara mall and just thought of doing some little shopping. Like ladies, we did shopping for hours especially raghu. Raghu all of sudden shuns and appears after a long interval. I hate waiting :(. Our combination is not a great one. I brought a pillow and towel. Raghu always says no to what I am planning to buy and finally lands in with the same items I have in my hand. I just wanted to write about home town and it truly deserves. Its such a beautiful place to be if you are millionaire. It has everything from A to Z and prices varying from 10 to 1000000. I have seen a bath tub around one lakh rupees :). I felt like touching it :). By the way I bought a chair from home town, last tuesday. Its the chair that brought a change in my room. Now I can call my friends to my room with out any fear (what they think about my room). The final point of our trip was KFC. When ever I hear that name, only one thing flashes in my mind. Its not chicken, its Virgin Mojito. Here is the link for that item
I unnecessarily remembered it and now I cant stop thinking about it. Actually I had two mojitos yesterday :). Finally we are back to campus by 11.

I thought of taking rest for 2 hours and start working for some projects. So, I asked anurag to call me around 2. But I got up at 9 :). I dont know whose face I saw at the morning, till now I have been working on photoshop and nothing else. I was preparing ads for an event (CLICK).
I was working for synapse t-shirt too. But I am not satisfied with my work :(. I am not finding it interesting as there were so many changes right from the word go. We (juniors of synapse) just got a mail from seniors about the status of t-shirt. But I dont know who will answer that question. :(. Today anurag's team won a competition and congrats to him. Its about a startup company funda (not sure :) ). I need to get up early in the morning and I know I will not.

I got some good comments from vivek about my blog and thanks to him. I feel happy seeing his comments because few of my classmates are reading my blog. I am unknown to most of my classmates as 3/4th time I will be in my room working on some photoshop stuff which doesnt require me to go and meet others and hence I lag far behind in the popularity meter.

Thats it for the day

Minor can kill you and yet law says he is innocent !!!

The title of the post is about the LAM (Legal Aspects in Mgmt). Today I had quiz on this subject. Yesterday night I went to Isaac room after dinner. Just went to have a chat with him. While coming out of the room, I asked him "when are you going to start your preparation ?". He said "If I read I will get 5, with out reading it I will get 3. For the sake of 2 marks do I need to read 12 chapters ?. I am going to sleep now. Good night !!!". Those words played a big role in my preparation. After coming back to my room, I opened the LAM book for the first time. Isaac's words are flashing in my mind. I was in dilemma to read or not. Finally I decided not to read :). I was doing all sort of nonsense work except reading. I slept at 1 A.M.(very early). I requested anurag to wake me up at 4. He called me at 4.30 A.M. I got up, set the alarm to 5 :) and slept again. Finally I got up at 5.30 and read 5 chapters. I felt few topics were interesting and language in the text book was too hard to decipher. Its 8 AM, time for the exam. I saw the question paper. All the topics seem to be known but multiple choices were confusing. The worst of all is we had to fill in the blanks also :(. Thats the toughest part. Sir told only about multiple choice questions and where did these blanks came from. But those fill ups were very easy. The problem is I know the answers in a general sense but not in the terms of law book. Finally, I filled up the answers. I got up and before submitting the answer sheet, my pry eyes looked at akshaya's paper. "God, my first answer was in sync with her !!!. Please God, let her answer be correct !!!". I submitted the paper and came out of the hall happily. Because I dint prepare anything and I am sure of getting more than 2. Day before yesterday, I put 10000% effort and then couldnt manage to get 2 marks :(.

During breakfast, there were few comments about sai. How he talks after exam and what his paper talks after evaluation !!. I hope you people can understand what i am trying to say.

There were some funny moments in LAM class. Professor pointing out naveen said " intelligent people like You and me ....." and whole class started clapping hearing that dialogue.

By the way, one more fan added to my list. Mr.Anurag who is dating a beautiful gal in IIM hel'L'.

thats it for the day...

I know everything... but couldn't do anything !!!!

the title of the post is all about accounting quiz..

day before yesterday i prepared almost all the topics.. and left one topic as I was feeling sleepy. I thought that preparation was enough for the quiz. Quiz started at 8.30. The first question was from the topic that I left out. My energy levels went down. Unnecessarily I started solving it. I took 7 mins for it but no solution. Then I saw next question. The question was again from the left out topic. Then I thought in my heart - "Please god, dont make me cry in this hall. Let me get atleast half mark but not zero.". I skipped that question and went for next question. The question was from known topic but very confusing :( . My hands started shaking. Some where in my mind some thing is flashing and telling me - "you are the sure candidate to get zero !!". I answered the question with half heart and saw the next question. All of sudden a glitz in my face. "Time god.. I know this question !!" . I answered it perfectly. Then the final question, i know this topic and indepth. But I dint understand the terms in it properly. I was thinking of doing it in one way and did it another way. Finally ended up with a wrong answer :). But I was happy as I am damn sure of not getting a zero.

Apart from acads, so many things happened in the past few days. Our first proposal(tata motors) was rejected :(. Kiran, Manoj and I prepared an executive summary for redriver project.

Today is Ambika's marriage day. I wish her all the best. By the way ambika was my college mate.

I am doing lots of ground work for my CV proofs. I mailed Professor pruthviraj (princi of PEC) for some proofs. But the position i am in gave me confidence to mail him.

thats it for the day..

Hard Work never payoff !!!!

I dont know where I am now.. all the work that I put on ibrand went in vain. The dream to be a finalist in any of the event is shattered. Creativity is my area of interest and I lost in that as well. I think I should put an end to extra currics and start working on acads. Its the only thing that is flashing in my mind for the past few days and today it has gone far beyond. I am still not in a position to conclude. Everytime I lose I am giving 200 percent in my next attempt and then I lose again. Failures are the stepping stones of success but if the level of failure increases step by step there is no point in going step ahead.

Thats it for the day. I am in no mood to write the blog.

loan, ring and then beer !!! and HAPPY BDAY to BOPPA

To start with, I dont drink... so the subject of the post has some different meaning.

For the past two days I have been working on iBRAND. Its about creating an innovative product and designing an advertisement for that.

We started with loan concept and finished the shooting part.

The shooting part was fun. But the editing part was hell. Once we were ready with ad, I had a chat with one of my friends and he told that concept was bakwas and think some innovative product. Then we changed the topic to RING with same video. We dont want to reshoot the video and hence we just wanted to change the product which suits our ad. But when we were discussing in group, we felt that even ring doesnt sound better. Then finally shifted to BEER. The video seems to suit for the concept of BEER.

Every one had a smile on their face when seeing this ad.

here is the youtube link for the ad : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nFrrp8-o-M

Pour in your comments..

My mid term marks are well below the class average and I need to work on that. Ofcourse daily I feel the same but not in a position to implement because of my commitments for various works. But need to curb all these commitments and should start concentrating on the acads part.

Thats it for the day.

By the way, yesterday was Vinod's bday. The hero in my ad. I gave him a t-shirt in which many of our friends have signed. I thought of planning big. But :( .

and finally

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO VINOD BOPPA

Whats going on !!!!

"whats going on!! " ... this line has been appearing constantly in chat window for the past 10-15 days... and it is related to my blog... most of my friends have been asking - "why are you not updating the blog ?? "... to be frank I have no answer.. its just because of my laziness or just because of work (over loaded)... today I am writing the blog just because as of now my mind is in a very different state. This week I have bunked 4 classes (2 in 1 subject and 1 in 2 subjects)... I seriously dont know whether I bunked it for the sake of an useful purpose... now I am feeling guilty for what I did.. yesterday I spoke with one of the seniors.. he mentioned one point "u need to set your own priorities and act according to it..."... I dont know what my priorities are !!! ... some times I feel "extra curricular activities are better than acads" and "some times with out acads whats the use of extra curriculars :( ". I need to set the things.

anyways, lets see whats ruffian has been doing for the last 10-15 days...
some snapshots which ruffian cannot forget..

------------------------------------------------
WILD PEACOCK (Story is little exaggerated)
------------------------------------------------

Have you ever heard of a man being chased by peacock? It happened at IIM hel'L'.

Its 5 'o' clock in the morning. Ruffian's friend(xyz) just got up. On seeing the beautiful climate xyz felt like jagging is the best thing. He got ready and started. The initial speed was 1 kmph and slowly the speed (in linear relationship with time) has picked up. He was on the road where no one is present. He felt "whats this yaar, people dont know how to enjoy the such a beautiful climate!!". All of sudden he saw peahen. On seeing it, XYZ felt "such a beautiful bird !!! ". But he then realized he was being chased. He dint know what was the speed he picked up, no time to think and he came back running to the hostel. He told this to his friends.
Now the real funda !! Friends started thinking "what could be possible reason"
They were discussing like this -- "he is wearing peacock color shirt !! " , "nahin yaar !!! he might have chased peacock and hence peahen got angry !!!" , "no yaar, he might have plucked two of its feathers !! ". This went on till ruffian's friends were tired of laughing.
But the ultimate conclusion from xyz was "hare yaar !! yeah peacocks be jyadha wild hai". :) .

Ruffian in to SYNAPSE
---------------------------------------------------

Ruffian got selected in to synapse committee (related to IT). He was very happy seeing his name in the selected people. But ruffian's friend gave such a propaganda before the day of results, every one was asking ruffian "it seems you are almost selected in to synapse committee !!! ". Hearing that ruffian felt in two ways.
1. "wow, i am so happy hearing that. So many people are thinking that I am almost in. Its a pay off for my work."
2."what if I am not selected. How can I show my face to these people. Please sai stop this !!"
But point number 1 was the ultimate result. The treat given by the seniors of synapse committee was too good. Ruffian enjoyed a lot in terms of the dishes he ate and also in terms of the interaction he had with them. We were asked to say something that was the craziest of all the things he have done in his life till that point. Ruffian told about the "CD given to a tall girl (dont want to disclose her name) at PEC" and some incidents at HSBC Glt. But Ruffian's stories always ended with a sad note. More interestingly Ruffian thought that Atul(one of the senior members in team synapse) was cool and calm, but his assumption was so wrong. He is the most talkative of all. He gave insights about so many senior gals out here at L. Thanks Atul !!!!

---------------------------------
Ruffian's Midterm Exams
---------------------------------

Ruffian went to City just a day before the exam. People think that "his confidence levels are high". But he went to city just because of his worst planning in buying the things. He postponed the trip to city and dragged it to the end where there was no other go rather than going to city. But ruffian prepared very well for the exam.
The exam starts at 10 and ends at 11.30. Ruffian hates going early to examination hall and tension creeps up and may effect in the performance. But the admin office wants all the students to be in atleast 5 mins before the scheduled start time. For the first day ruffian dint want to take chances. He went to the class before 15 mins. Ruffian friends are discussing - "how to calculate the depreciation ? are you sure is that the way ? Please explain me more on that (how on this earth can a person explain "more" just before the exam)". The exam started, on seeing the paper ruffian felt a bit happy as he at least understood what the questions are. One of the instructions in the question paper was "please use your time properly or you may end up in not answering few questions". Ruffian laughed seeing at it as he thinks the question paper was easy. There were a total of 5 questions and the last question carries 27 marks. After first question is finished, ruffian is left with 70 mins. So he wanted to quicken the pace and started solving the second one and finished it. Now he is left with 45 mins :( . Increasing the rate at which he is solving the question, he finished it and now he is left with 20 mins. Two questions left and now ruffian realized the exact meaning of the instruction in the question paper. Ruffian solved only half of the final question and that too he was not confident on what he was writing.
Learning : Never laugh at the instructions given in the question paper.

This time Ruffian got a wild dream.

Its 9.53 and ruffian started for the exam. He reached the exam hall by 9.55.49. When he was approaching the exam hall he was stopped by admin guy and told him "you are late betaa !". Ruffian says "No sir, its still 9.55". Admin guy "Dont you know the instructions ??" . Ruffian "Instructions ? (who reads all those. I dont have time to read the subject itself !!)". Admin guy "I cannot allow you to the exam !!". Ruffian "Sir, please sir. I prepared very hard for this exam". Admin guy "sorry beta. I cant help it. Rules are rules". Ruffian in his heart "I dint come late and why am I not being allowed!! :(". Finally admin guy says "You will be allowed only after 15 mins ". Ruffian shakes his head and thinks "time god atleast I can attempt 4 out of 5 questions". During that 15 mins break, ruffian with a tensed face was looking here and there. Mean while admin guy comes and says "You need not worry. Your mam sets an easy level question paper and you can easily answer them with in an hour if you are prepared well". Ruffian feels happy hearing that. Admin guys adds one more point "I am student friendly". (I dont want to comment on this. You can thin what was going through my mind hearing that "friendly" sentence). Finally ruffian enters the examination hall. Everyone is seriously writing the answers and ruffian too. But the difficulty level was too high. Even one and half hour might not have been sufficient. So ruffian with a tense mind wrote answers half heartedly and it was such a flop show for him on that day.
Learning : Even if you dont know the subject, you should know the rules of exam by heart.

RUFFIAN a photoshop PRO
