Can I get at least one short list ???

10:21 AM.

This could be the most important week in my MBA life.

Short lists are coming out and couldn't find my name in any of them.

My confidence levels are going down.

8.45 PM

Scenario is little better

Wish me all the best (not in comments section.. just in heart is enough !!)

I am not at all confident

01:25 am

I dint do GD well. I am damn sure that I will not go to next round.

Not in a good mood to write much.

Finally 3000 visitors and Congrats Arina for being 3001st Visitor

Finally my blog touched 3000 visitors mark. I am happy. But to be frank I am a bit sad too. Last 1000 visits came at a very slow pace. I know the reason. Its just ruffian. He has become lazy bones else the total posts count itself could have touched 100 mark.
After a long gap of one and half years, I had a voice chat with arina. Its good to speak with old friends right ? She is in Tokyo. Today she is so happy because she got a laptop (around 3 PM). She was online then onwards. She invited me for a voice chat. I thought it was friendship but it was just for testing her laptop. From her words, I understood that she was sooooooooo happy because of laptop. When she was talking with me, I realized that I needed 4 more visits on my blog to touch 3000 mark. I requested her to refresh the page for four times and by doing so, she made my day. :) :). By the way, Congrats Arina.

Life at L : I got up at 7 A.M. and started working for the assignment. Its been a tough day. The deadline was 11 am and I started my work at 7 a.m. I could not finish even 10 percent by 8.30. I was late by 5 minutes for WEC class, when I started at my room. I was running to be in the class at right time, but surprisingly I saw boppa and gokul having a sip of tea before the pgp block. I was shocked and thought that I was there at right time. When I entered the class, it was 9.22(delayed by 7 minutes) and I soon realized that they are least bothered about timings and all they wanted is not miss sip of the tea. :(. Today 7 groups were suppose to give presentation. Boppa's and mine were among them. When Boppa's group was giving presentation, I gave him a missed call. Time god, he did not keep his mobile in silent mode :) :). The mobile started ringing, and there was a sudden change in his face reaction because he was on dais and was operating the system for the slide show. He picked up the phone and had a look at me. I gave him a killer smile. But madam did not notice the ring of boppa's mobile else it could have been a fun. My group's turn is awaiting. I am damn sure that boppa would give me a ring when I stand on the dais. So, I left my mobile in the bag and went to the dais. Our presentation went on fine and there were no issues. Mam had few doubts and we cleared only few in that "few" :). It was not a great presentation.
When I came back to my place, as expected there was a missed call from boppa. But he doesnt know that the mobile was not with me. He couldnt take revenge. I pity him.

In the final class, I was watching the match between pakistan and south africa that was played yesterday and was won by south africa.

Right from afternoon onwards, I was doing macro assignment. An half an hour ago, I submitted the assignment. We delayed the submission by just 9 hours :). We have a batch meet at 11 pm. I am gonna doze off.

Will update soooooooon after batch meet, its not over...

Check this out : Comments section on Lokesh's upcoming book...

Half Shaved ... Half Screwed.. But still trying to escape !!!

What to say .. what to say... Every minute is as precious as a gram of platinum. I am writing this post in my class. I am not free. But I have so much to write. Hence decided to write this post in parts.

First and foremost today we had two quizzes, two assignments and project to submit. As of now I am done with two quizzes. Thats it. The project report was suppose to be submitted at 2PM and now its 4.41, we are still finalizing the report.

There was so much fun in these two days. I was almost screwed in the hands of Neha. Its because of sai. I Will write in detail after 12.

I heard that my TL got promotion. Congos to him.

By the way, sir has come.

Will update soon.

Time : 6.29 PM

I Just came to my room. I saw my ITC answer sheets. I got 27.5 out of 50. SO my total score is (39+27.5) = 66.5 . I am in the average range of the class. Now I am damn confident that I am not gonna fail in any of the subjects related to first term.

I need to give a psychometric test for a company.

Now I am going back to library to give finishing touch for the WEC final report which was suppose to be submitted by 2p.m.

Thats it for now.. Its getting late.. Ravi is waiting for me...Will update soon..

Time 3.22 A.M.

Finally we have sent WEC project report to madam. At 2 PM we have sent an unfinished document. At 8 PM we have sent a finished document and quoted in the mail that " Sorry mam, we have sent a wrong version in the afternoon. Please kindly accept this version". I know she will not believe that but yet we dont want our legs to be pulled on the dais. Our group are suppose to give a presentation on this report tomorrow. I have just finished the Power point doc too.So our group is all set for fun.

I screwed up in the psychometric test. All of sudden there appeared quant problems on screen. I was not in a mood to solve them. All I can say is I missed a big MNC.

Okies... Its getting late... I need to start an assignment at 5.30 A.M. and the deadline is 11 A.M. We cannot repeat WEC story here as this prof is a serious kind in terms of submissions.

Thats it for now.. Need to getup at 5.30... Will update soon !!!

Happy Birthday Chaitanyas (Varma and Krishna Chaitanya) !!!!

Oct 17th was chaitu's birthday. I forgot to wish him this year. Last before year the same thing happened and I blamed it on my best friend. This year no one is here to blame. Anyways I wished him today. Sorry for the belated wishes chaitu. Chaitu told me that he was expecting a last call from me. Normally I like to be different in case of wishing friends. I prefer to wish last. But on that day, I forgot to wish him for a couple of reasons.

The other Chaitanya is an acquaintance. I talk to him only once an year and that too on his birthday. Actually I lost his number. My old mobile is not functioning properly and some how with the help of Soumik I switched on the mobile and got his number. Thanks to Soumik. Chaitanya couldnt recognize me as its been exactly an year. He almost took five minutes to guess who I am. Finally I wished him. Once again, Happy birthday chaitanya and I wish you all the best.

Next year I wish both of them in a creative way.

Coming back to life at hel'L'. I got up at 7 in the morning. I worked on photoshop for a while. I promised a committee to deliver a poster by saturday night and I delayed. After finishing the poster, I had breakfast and thought of working on WEC(writing skills) assignment. But I slept :). I got up in the afternoon and started working on assignment. But I couldnt concentrate. Boppa went out to play cricket and that was distracting me. I love cricket but on the other hand I had an assignment to submit. So I dint play cricket. You people might be thinking that I should have completed the assignment. But I slept. :). I got up at 4.30. Nothing much to say the life at hel'L'. I heard that this is the last mid term exam for the seniors. By the way our mid term starts in the second week of november. I am little worried about the mid term. I dont know the syllabus for few subjects. :(

I tried a application to find out my wedding date. The application says my wedding is some where in 2016. I think by that time I may not be fit for marriage. Interestingly it says my cousin, who is married and has a kid, is also going to get married on the same day. I think I should tell this to my cousin and her husband to resolve any issues they have as soon as possible. :)

I had a voice chat with chaitanya varma. Chaitu told me that Lokesh is planning to write a book.
Title of the book : "How to keep your girl happy !!"
by Lokesh Kumar Punepalli Jayachandra Reddy
(Title of the book is smaller than the name of the author. I bet you cannot find it anywhere in the universe).
I was excited hearing that and asked him to tell some more about the book. But I could manage to get very little information. Its about the name of the first chapter.
- " How it has happened ? "
I promised Lokesh that I would be buying the book. I am planning to get a brand ambassador(Nikhila Rosy) for that book and also planning to publish the book in my blog.

Friends, Pour in your comments.

Thats it for the day

Happy Journey.. Anvesh (UK) and Arina (Tokyo) !!!

Two days back, I thought Anvesh left for UK and felt bad that I couldnt say happy journey to him. But thanks to Sandesh, he told me Anvesh is still in India and leaving tom(Sunday). Ofcourse Anvesh himself called me two days back and told me the same. Now I have a chance to say Happy Journey to him. "HAPPY JOURNEYYYYYYYY Anvesh".

Now its Arina's Turn. Idiot is going to Tokyo. She mentioned same in face book. I replied to her status message and this is the conversation.
Praveen Ch: May god save tokyo people !!!
Thursday at 2:14pm · Like
Arina Ch: this is not at all fun seriously, i would gladly take back the decision.
Yesterday at 6:36am · Like
Anyways, all the best Idiot and enjoy.

Coming back to life at hel'L'. I got up at 5.30 in the morning and prepared for the quiz. I prepared superficially not to get zero. But the question paper was damn easy. I will get atleast 5 (out of 10). I screwed up in the first quiz. This is the only chance I am left with. After quiz almost every one rushed for breakfast. People standing in a big queue for "dosa". I ate cornflakes and aloo curry. I couldnt manage to eat dosa. But I managed to eat atleast the curry meant for dosa (a kind of satisfaction). Classes started at 9.15. Today priyanka and anurag decided to bunk marketing class which starts at 10.30. I felt a bit tension. Normally every prof shoots questions at priyanka only. I and Anurag escapes. If she and anurag misses the class, I am the next eligible candidate. Thanks to Vinayak and Alok who sat by the sdie of me filling those seats.
I need to mention a funny incident. One day Anurag and I were making fun of Priyanka.
"Anurag dont prepare any thing. Dont worry. Prof will ask only priyanka. We can escape. hahahaha"
Anurag also smiled at her.
On that day prof asked both Anurag and me but dint shoot any question at priyanka. Ofcourse I never answer any question :). That day was priyanka's and there after I tried to control my "mouth".
Marketing class was full of fun. So many jokes and very less concepts pierced my brain. To be frank prof was too cool. There were some jokes about economy class in the plane and strategy in cinema theaters. One guy from other sectioned mentioned about the strategy of "allocation of company" in theaters. Company refers to allocation of a seat to girl sitting by the side of guy. Its a good strategy right ??.
Afternoon I attended a PPT, came back and slept.

Few short lists are coming out. I am not in any of those. I am feeling bad about that. I could have made my CV more interesting. But its my laziness and now I am paying for that. I am not at all satisfied with what I have written in my CV.

Personal Trivia:

I have added a video on the top right corner. Its really cool. I want to start something like that.

Today again something is haunting me. I dont know where I am going.
I dont want to talk much on this.

Tomorrow is my best friend's friend birthday. I wish him happy birthday.

Thats it for the day.

Ruffian aka Lazybones

Yes, Ruffian is the best example of lazybones. In the last term Ruffian hardly slept 4 hrs a day. Now he is hardly awake 8 - 9 hours a day. Yesterday Ruffian slept for almost 14 hours.

Today is not a great day. I got almost least marks in QAM II (Mathematics). I was in hyderabad last week so couldnt prepare for the quiz and it truly reflected in my marks. I just got 3.5 out of 10. Only 3 fellows excluding me were below 4 marks. I dont know what to say now. I felt very bad about my position. I was in 11th position in QAM during first term. I bunked QAM classes so frequently that I am not able to get a grip on what prof is teaching at present. Today's marketing class was like hell. We were asked to talk about book fair. In my group Raghu and I prepared the PPT. But both of us were not willing to go and present and none of the others in my batch were also ready. I got irritated. Anyways our group dint get a chance to give Presentation.

Yesterday a funny incident took place during QAM class. When the class was going on Sneha opened a water bottle. But soon she realized that it was not a water bottle instead it was a cool drink. Prof noticed that the Carbon dioxide in the bottle made a sound (hizzzzzz) when she uncapped and told her "you are not suppose to bring the food items to the class". Then she replied "Sir, even I dont know about this until I opened. Sorry for this". Thats why I dont even take a bottle to the class :) (Not that I am lazy). In marketing class, Prof flooded in too many concepts. At a point of time I felt marketing is not my area of interest any more. Operations class is like a relaxation session for the whole class. Hardly 10 people listen what Professor is teaching. Please do not include me in that 10. Priyanka and Anurag were playing TIC TAC TOE. Something flashed in my mind seeing that. I like TIC TAC TOE for some reasons that cannot be disclosed. Then priyanka and anurag shifted to fill in the letters game, where priyanka thinks about a movie name and asks us to guess. It was so hard. Priyanka gave "JUNGLEE". We took so much time. I am not that great at hindi hence took some time. Then she asked us to guess a hollywood movie. This time it is "JUMANJI". I guessed it correctly but took so many options. By the time I guessed the movie name, the time was 1.15. And its the time where class ends and we go for lunch :).

In operations class, I went through FORBES magazine. I read about a billionaire who is just 36 years old. I felt - its really great. But I am not dreaming nor aiming for that. I have a different goal to achieve

Yesterday we had a project submission. It was about book fair. We did a survey in book fair. The survey was very funny for obvious reasons. We had few snaps out there. The highlight was Boppa. He went to interview a person. I was standing 10 meters away from them. When Boppa was interviewing, I could see some grin in his face at times. The survey went on for 45 minutes. I thought boppa was getting so many insights. But later on I found that Boppa was being tortured by him. He was a lawyer. Boppa was in casuals wearing chappals and t-shirt. The lawyer questioned him about all that. "HOw can an IIM graduate be like that ?" He asked boppa many questions for which he had no clue. When we all came to know about that we couldnt stop laughing. Time God I was near by and dint go and join that survey. :).

Yesterday WEC (written communication skills) madam gave us answer sheets. I got 2 out of 4. Two days back, I told priyanka and Anurag about my quiz marks that I couldnt even cross 50% in any of the quizzes conducted till then. Priyanka remembered that and told me when I had WEC answer sheet in my hand "Praveen you got 50% na. You must be happy rite ?". I dont know whether to laugh or cry for that question :( :).

I have a presentation to attend at 5.45. Before that I need to play TT.

Tomorrow I have a quiz. Its do or die situation. Wish me all the best.

By the way I uploaded a snake's pic under " wild life at hel'L' " in Got Bored section at the top right corner. It was found near Hostel 15. I am in hostel 11 :)

Thats it

Thanks to them !!!!

I forgot to thank my friends who wished me on OCT 12th..
