My ExPG08 IBS Cherished Farewell Mails.

Most Cherished mail will obviously be Chikkoo's Mail as below -

Hello friends,

I will be leaving hostel tomorrow, but i am ready with my long good bye mail from IBS, so posting it today itself..Its a big one but u can spend 15min as today is saturday...so here it goes.....

It’s now the time for me to move out of the hostel and going back to bangalore. I am lucky enough to see off each of our batch mate and I am the last one. I stayed here for the maximum duration from very first day of our preparatory class till today. So, after 1yr 4months and 10 days, I am moving out of Room no.D 123 forever. In all the exams, I was the first one to move out but here I am the last, but I liked it as got more opportunity to spend time with all of you. No denying to the fact, we developed good bonding among ourselves, mainly those who stayed back after the course, in last 3 months. Because of recession we all became much closer. It was a great and memorable journey of my life full of fun, emotion, sadness, happiness.

I witnessed all the stages here, from the day when we used to shout, make fun in corridor to the day when no one was in the corridor, all rooms are locked. I used to love the days when we make noise in the corridor but now when juniors do same, it’s very irritating.

I am moving out of hostel without any job but happy that got so many good friends and also got one piece of paper mentioning that I completed my MBA, hope that that will be helpful at some stage of my life.

I still remember the way we attended the classes, prepared for exam and assignment just one night before, the way we appear for exam, fighting with harsa during exams, the way we celebrated the birthdays, the parties we attended at PD and latter at DD, the badminton matches, cricket matches, music played by britto and vinay, the Raaga, the fight we had over deciding the electives and placement representatives, the number of scolding sessions with Hilda, no. of meetings with placement cell, the way we make fun of each other, the campus, the way we gave presentations, the fight with mess people and warden mainly for badminton racket and shuttle, Sunday morning going to villages to teach kids, and many more . I had taken many walks around the campus to reduce weight but I am still fat.And yes one more thing, the starting of expressionzone, within 2-3hrs more than 100 mails.. hahahaha.:). I am having lots of snaps of different occasions at IBS, which will always remind the good days at IBS.

Bishwajeet- I remember the days when we used to go for morning walk, for sankalp. Ur whistle, ur songs, ur readiness to go to city, load music near ur room and at latter stage ur mobile with music and the way u ask the question and argue. And few of ur words like choodona matiya do.

Vibhav- The great entertainer, who can make u laugh any time. We have great time in last few months.

Anup- I still remember ur ravij Gandhi bala half jacket, the way u used to say thoda body ko rest dete hai, ur interest in collecting all study materials, presentations etc, before exam I used to get all the class ppts from u.

Shivendra- I still remember the post dinner walk with u, they way u handled all faculties, mess people, wardern. Our BRP project, the time pass all used to do in ur room, the coffee made by, so many time u went with me to dhaba although u are not interested in eating outside. I am sure very soon we will start our venture.

Thiru- I still remember few punches I got from u, but lucky that u had bharat.

Britto- I always found that u r ready to talk to any length of time, trying to listen then giving ur inputs, good fatherly attitude. I remember ur attire in hostel, ur music and ur music classes to Vinay

Bharat- Together we killed so many chickens.had so many biriyani and tandoori. I used to meet him during nights only, his door used to to open whole night, watching movies, in morning sleeping. I remember ur arguments in class in order to oppose jitu :), they way u used to say before playing badminton that my arm and shoulder not ok, but still then u will play.

Anuj- U had a great combination with Mathur in complaining to mess and hostel. We had good time. I like ur nature of not interfering in anyone’s matter. We had great fun in badminton court, mainly the way u used to tease Bheem. We had many good memories during last 3 months.

Pritesh- A serious guy committed towards the career in finance.most of the time I meet him on his way to library or back to hostel from library.

Sameer- I remember ur style of showing thumps up,the way u r committed towards ur fitness- regular jogging and yes the way u played badminton single handedly even in doubles match. :)

Rassull- Had long memories together, shared many emotional moments. I know u r very concerned about me, and in group u never missed the opportunity to tease any one. I remember the way u attended the classes, completely serious and in hostel completely opposite, too casual. :)

Udit – U was the source of entertainment.:) All used to tease u, and u enjoyed that.. haahaha. I remember the way u used to serve and play badminton, they way vijay used to wake u up and ur fight with jitu bhai for shifting the exam.and ur umpiring.

Krishna- I feel like home with u as we talk in oriya. I remember the time u took in breakfast, ur volleyball match, they way u used to sleep in class in starting of the course, u attend few classes in shorts.Once we both went for job search to city but went to Hyderabad house had biriyani and called the consultants from their and came back. Whenever I was in city, used to got call from u for getting biriyani, sometime I didn’t pick ur call. Had good time together in last 3 months, those post breakfast talk under the tree.

Prasun- I still remember the old songs u played, many of which I liked myself, the way u used to try to frustrate other by saying that u completed ur studies, but u never tried that technique for me. Hhhahaha. I remember u sitting whole day in ur chair wearing shocks and covering ur knee with blanket as u felt cold and watching old and most boring movies on youtube and simultaneously reading, and ur tag line in gtalk, abhi me padha raha hoon, disturb maat karna.

Vinay- My first friend from IBS. Shared the wall. If u ever performs any concert, I will be there in the first row because I want to listen u playing guitar properly. Hahahaha. I remember at time all assemble in ur room and u play nice guitar that time, mainly song like papa kahatain hai beta humara esha kaam karega…I also remember u using blankets and monkey cap in hot summers.

Mohan- u supported udit in making the batch happy. I still remember the way u used to collect all the papers in lib and don’t allow anyone to take it, the way u redefine the use of band aid. Hahahaha, :)

Vijay- I did a mistake of making friendship with u very late, during the end of the course, but still then had a good time. Ur hydrabadi hindi, ur remarks :)

Kumar- used to get angry very soon but never at me. :). I remember u making lot of fun on anupam. :)

Neeraj- I felt comfortable saying anything to u, beating u, making fun of u.we did many assignments together. I remember ur sports shoes on birthday nights.

Aditya- I remember the way u happily used to have birthday bumps on behalf of others in initial days, the way u enter class room without pen paper but with a banana :)

Gourish – So cool and relaxed towards studies. But read all newspapers and well informed about current affairs, we had many discussion about current issues. I remember u using both the bathrooms of D block on alternate basis, and in latter stage started using C block. :)

Jeetendra – I remember the way u used to raise ur hand and gave inputs in almost all the lectures. If we were with u, we used to get info about any girl passing by :)

Avinash- I will remember the way u used to prepare for going to mess, the way u used to ask question till u get complete clarity about the topic. had ur company for last 3 months :)

Rohan- I will remember the way u used to clap and laugh, they way u used to tease mohan and 40-60 :)

Sachin- I will remember ur evergreen attitude like Dev Anand, always young at heart. :)

Shilpi- I am missing ur high volume laugh, ur caring nature towards me, u used to hold hand while crossing the road. I remember so many Sunday mornings with u, going for Sankalp work, ur commentary at badminton court, the way u used to guide us to go to city along with the bus numbers... because of u, I meet with 2 person, who are now integral part of my life.

Pradeep- I still remember u following “ Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise”, i remember, we teasing u when lehman brother collapsed and intrestingly within few monthhs satyam episode happened :)

Shammi – I remember ur passion for orkut but now its all over. :)

Rohit- I remember the way we used to bang ur door on birthdays, the nautanki u used to do when asked to sing a song, by saying kyon sa gayain.. but u sang very well all the old songs :)

Navneet & Puneet – I remember the way u both used to do sikar near white house, mess . during this stay I felt very secure that we r having doctors with us who can predict future also. :)

Anupam – I remember the effort u put in gym and also the time u spend at bringers, rkhs, sankarpaly in eating. I remember ur madness for amitab.and u left playing badminton after getting defeated from me 15-0, in a singles match :)

Sitaram- Didn’t talk much as most of the time we meet, u used say two words only chepaindi and en chesta naru, and remaining time u will be in gym. I made sure that I don’t enter gym when u was there. :)

Girish- very limited interaction, remember u putting ipod and going for gym or jogging :)

Manoj- I remember ur mails, ur stories. u happily accepted ur name as MAAMU. U took videos during lectures so as to use it latter for studies. :)

Anupama- I remember u taking small nap within the class, once u started playing devotional song within the class,ur lappy got hanged. :)

Raj Lakshmi- I remember the way u used to say marungi, batamiz but luckily not to me and kuch bhi :)

Sowmya- I remember the way u used to ask so many questions for clarity :)

Thanks,

Ashish/ Chiku

Mera Mail Obviously -

Heylo comrades,

I'm leaving for Orissa on Saturday. I've decided to take up a job with a small college. There's no designation yet for me.

How I feel - Refer to Tidda's mail. ekdum same to same. Will Miss this whole thing.

From Oceans 13 to 12 and 11.

Then Secret 7 and Famous 5

Now its just going to be the Hardy Boys.. Then finally just the Dark Knight.

Staying in the hostel after the course was really cool.

One thing that I have decided is that I will be back in campus for the Convocation, whenever that is, invited or not. Hope there are a lot of you.

Chalo Aish karo everybody in whatever way feasible,

Chotti, Ex-Chooti, Krish, Krishna.

Hi Krish,

Thats good news that you are breaking this spell of professional inactivity (though... a person may well be active during such times in other areas like taking a break, sharpening skill sets or pursuing a long forgotten hobby).

anyways, with ur experience with the ibs hyd staff n placement cordinators, we are sure u will excel in the holy tasks assigned to u by the engineering college ;-) so the Pleated Pied Piper is ready to weave his magic !!!

would like say that you are a rare combination of talent and confidence and ur ultimate zenith is much higher than the skies visible in the horizon today.

Wish you all the best!

Cheers,

Jeetu

Bhaiyon yeh Jeetu bhai ko ho kya gaya hai? Yeh English bolo class ki frenchise to nahi le liye Mumbai mein? Gaurish report do....

Now lets come back and talk bout choti, well biggest competitor is writing dnt expect some great words for 16 egg scorer.....

Chemistry kya hui pata nahi magar takla bahut dil ke paas aa gaya..... I tried refraining him from this job, but then I know his decisions are better than mine....

And as per our discussion, baji to tujhe he marni hai, yaad hai na IBS ka pura tenure? Dude u r not an average Indian citizen like us, u r something else, vilayti bhi tumhe pe marti hein hindustani bhi.... And am dead sure when you will bounce, no one can match that height, except for bulla

Baki dekh senti hoon ,likhna ka mann hai magar neend aa rahi hai aur din bhir kafi bajaiye gayee hai, ulta shulta naa likh doon is liye abhi ke liye bas, waise tu meri jaan to chodega nahi asani se, Noida jab mann kire bindas WT aa jana :)

Loads of best wishes

Apna Viki's mail -

Hello all,

With all your good wishes, I have finally managed a job. I'll be joining AgreeYa Solutions based in Noida as Sr. Consultant Sales & Pre-sales.

I wish I was the last person to march out from our batch. All the best warriors, I know you guys are going to get lot better. It feels like getting separated from your family, I guess experience of last 4 months were far better than the entire 1 year course.

Thank you all for being so supportive and concerned.

Love&Luck

Vaibhav

And then there is Golu Molu Polu Pandu's mail -

Hi EPGP08

This being a long college journey and it has to end some where...today i am leaving for bangalore..... I still remember that what and how we have spend our college days....

It started with getting adjusted with the class and dictatorship of Hilda....then campus which eventually does not happen....sports....raga....some got offer in the last a few days...and then started the real part of life ..... some of us were together and faced some good moment ....we have shared and part of ups and downs, went into out hideouts, started counting our meal and used our managerial skill in real sense to optimize cost and to get maximum benefits (not laterally ) .... watched all slow and crap movies (stocks got over by then) .... parties ..... all those were real fun ....

I am sure you will understand the gravity of Vinay, avinash and Krishnesh email and everyone who has shared their thoughs... It was more of feeling that we have shared ...counting each one of us getting away for good and realizing us that DUDE wake up HONEYMOON is over .... I thought that I am tough and not going to write this email .... but may be i will not get second chance to express my self ..........

In simple words it was more than Ocean 13 -> 12 -> 11 etc...

I hope you will remember me as a good friend.......sleeping giant......bheem ........hogger ....pandu.....movie maniac ....etc....

I have made friends for life and hope to remain in touch ...

Now it time for me to say Bye Hyderabad (Briyani)......

Over and out....

BR//Bheem

Hey forget to mention : I will still flood your email box with my analysis and deep thoughts..... dont think that it over now and got rid of me ....

Note: Aur saalo kisi ne emotion ke maa bhen ki na fir dekho .... uske email box ki tu main waat laga dunga .... saari illegal site main register kar dunga .....

And how can I forget Anju's mail -

and yes.... special thanks to Choti (ex-choti) now "Chhota Takla" for showing the advertisement to me after which i applied and made it thru.
AnujGupta,

Lot More but this has been a draft for soo long..as well just publish it.. will get back to this eventually :)

A few days back while I was reading a column of my favorite writer, I realised that the column perfectly reflected my thoughts about Women's Day.

Everyday is a Womans Day. She has to go through each day with courage. To earmark one day of the calendar as Woman's Day is an insult to all those women who dont have a calendar and absolutely have no idea that the whole world is "celebrating" their gender.

There is no celebration in the lives of those women who have no access to education, to personal liberties and even to their own thoughts. Most of them are born as accidents. Unwanted even by the woman in whose womb they have grown. They are resented at birth and unsafe in their own homes. Their lives are valued at less than a price of a bicycle or a goat!

They have to do hard labour to earn some money, carrying stones to build roads that "empowered-women" will drive on in their fancy cars. Even this money doesnot belong to them. Nothing does. Not even their name, that is changed after they are married off to strangers. Husbands that are bought by anxious fthers to 'offload' their burden. Everything is 'given' to them, the two stale rotis included.

They dont have a home to call their own. Their parents remind them that till they are married and in thier new home, its just a shelter and most of the time a torture chamber where their cries go unheard....

The woman in the hut has no idea that her lot is supposed to improve with each pasing year. Tha her "urban sisters" are out there doing their bit to ensure she isnt left behind!! She has no idea that women are supposedly on the move in her own country. And are moving ahead at such a pace that men are unable to keep up.

Her life remains exactly where her grandmother's life once was!!!!

They have no idea that in other part of the country, their counterparts are celebrating "chick-power" at fancy restaurants that offer discounts so that "female-shakti" gets unleashed. With this kind of offers, the chicks present set the dance floor on fire and shout, "Hey, Its Women's day!! Chill Out.." it is actually a pretty chilling reminder of ground realities. I wonder what women who live in the 'Other' India would make of such an absurd scene.

While she wraps her odhni still more ightly around herself on March 8th, hundreds of empowered women in the metroes will be shedding their clothes, their inhibitions and declaring how great it is to be a woman....

Will someone please tell the woman in the hut to wipe her tears and join the party?

Watching Die....

Ever since I saw the promos for this movie, Ive wanted to see it. I have awaited its release since then. For some vague reason, I was never a fan of the previous Kingkong movies. Maybe it had something to do with the trailors I saw.
I was turning the pages of the newspaper and my eyes suddenly are stuck to a section that says "Last 2 days-- KING KONG"! I have to watch it, come what may!

I am usually at the Cinema during the weekends, but what now? Just 2 more days?? You have to go tonight, Krish. I decide on the 10:30 show at IMAX. I get there and get my tickets (went with my kid sister). The movie goes along well. The ugly islanders and the yucky insects keep my ass glued to the seat. I loved the KINGKONG Vs T-Rex combat too. It had shades of bollywood in a few scenes. The punches Kong threw reminded me of Dharam paaji in his fight scenes! One shot and T-Rex goes flying to the other corner of the screen!! But you have to belive me when I say that I winced each time Kong was bit! I was Kong for those moments, feeling the pain, crying out and beating my chest. I did not venture out even during the Interval because I was afraid I might miss something.....

Now you will discover my real intention of writing this blog -- Why? Why the pain? Why Death?
From the scene where The Kong is presented to NY.. till the End, my heart bled a hundred times and I tasted my tears, tears I couldnt wipe for the fear of someone noticing me cry!

I kept trying to understand what was going on within Kong. Every time I look at that hairy face with that heart-shaped nose, my belief gets stronger - He is no beast. There is no way he can be a Beast! Just treat him right..pleaseeee, dont hurt him. I guess, No one cared to listen.

Here, I can almost hear him say, "I dont know if you love me as much as I love you. All I know is that I could never stay alive without you. Nothing can stop me from taking you back to my home, but I know you wouldnt want that. And I wouldnt do something that would hurt you. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever set my eyes upon. The sky is beautiful too, but nothing compared to you". I know that Main zyada senti ho gaya...cant help it.
"They are coming to kill me arent they? Why cant they let me stay here with you? Why cant they leave us alone? Why did I have to survive this long? Only to find my love and lose it so soon?? Why is this happening to me? Cant you Help me God? Why would you want to punish me like this? They are coming to take you away from me. I wont let that happen. I WONT LET THAT HAPPEN".

"You know how much I love you. I can see it in your eyes and these tears that you weep for me. You do love me too. You feel my pain, you want to stop these wounds from bleeding. This pain means nothing to me, trust me. What pains me more is that I am losing you. My heart bleeds because I cant be with you and see you smile. I can always get another life. But can I say the same about you? I dont want to die leaving you all alone in this world. God forbid anyone on this planet goes through what I am going through now. I am so happy to die like this, having a picture of you in my eyes. I wish I werent I and I wish I were a part of your world. Dont cry. I cant bear to see you cry. Not now. You will always be a part of me........"

I dont know if you feel the same. As a matter of fact, I dont care if you feel the same!! I have lost loved ones. I know the pain. I know how a heart bleeds. I know a person can weep though there wouldnt be a tear in his eye. And when he does let the tears flow, they just wont stop!

I have loved and I have lost. But, One thing I have learnt ----

It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

I will love again and I may get hurt again but this aint going to stop me from giving my heart away!!!

My Bedroom Wall -- the One with 'those' Pictures

I have this one wall in my bedroom, which will see another dose of my creativity soon. So Im going to describe it as a gesture of respect for all those moments that I have spent watching it!!

There should be 4 walls, dude!!!!! Im getting to it.. You couldnt hold that wisecrack for a few seconds more, could you??.You think you 're smart, huh??? I am smart. Hey! Cut the sh*@ out man, I have a blog to finish here...okie. So please be of some assistance.

Yes, my bedroom has FOUR walls.

Theres one wall which has this big window. I sleep with my legs pointing towards it. No Offence. Its a very nice wall. I talk to it first thing in the morning and the last thing before I sleep. Not talk exactly, I practise my knowledge on 'Sanskrit' with it.We didnt get along well in the beginning. You use 'F' words on a poor, defenceless wall? Hey, Trust me, he deserves it. Wondering why? The sunlight come in straight on my face once the sun is up and the light from the street-light outside (u guessed right).....straight on my face when im trying to sleep at night!! Ive given it curtains now and we have become friends now. The curtain gets angry though, when I cant find the towel and my wet hands, by instinct reach for it..

And theres this other wall which has shelves, where I hang my clothes and keep my books. Ahan? Please tell me that was not a hint suggesting that you read a lot.. Hey, I do read a lot Ok. I'll post a pic of the library i have built at home someday! I try to keep the shelves tidy. I really try. I fail most of the time and I seriously wonder if I should find myself a wife. You want to get married so that youre wife can clean up your mess!!! Hey smartass, FOR YOUR INFORMATION that was supposed to be sarcastic, a joke, as in something funny!! Anyway, No point discussing this wall much.

And then theres this very important wall because it holds the door to my Bathroom! You wouldnt want to find him angry in the mornings. The door wouldnt open then and you know what happens after that....Could you cut out on the details, dude? This is my blog, I'll write what I want, you can hold your nose for a while. This wall also has the switch board. Lights and Fan.. all controlled from here. Did I mention, charging my cell-phone from here. This guy is pretty important. I have given him a poster,on the bathroom door, just so that he doesnt feel bad.

And finally the wall I wanted to pay my tribute to. I bet you have posters of all women on it! Ok! Big deal, you guessed it has a posters of women!! Talk about intelligence, huh? Calm down Krish....relaxxxx. It has a few women on it,ok, not all!

This wall it has an assorted collection of pictures. Some are pages that I tore from a magazine and some are pages from the newspaper that comes in everyday at my apartment. And

(another unfinished blog.. has been a draft for ages.. so "Just Posting it, I say")

Wow! Is this a part of India? Thats the thought that was popping up when I set foot on the white sand beach in Vagator.

Dec 28th:
Getting there was so unplanned. I had tried for train tickets but couldnot get it. Tried for the Volvo bus tickets and they were long gone too!! I had to finally think of the APSRTC Bus to Goa, (you guessed correct!) which was also full for the 29th!Am in office contemplating what I need to do, when The Inner Voice says -- "Get up, Go Home, Pack a few clothes, Catch a Bus to Goa".Off I went. At the Station, I bumped into these Phirangs who were returning from "Jaganath Puri". Andre, Chaitanya, Mangal and Noga. The bus journey was so painful. Good thing I got a seat in the front so I didnt have the pleasure of experiencing the bumpy ride like my Phirang friends. And would you belive it if I told you that our bus almost ran off a bridge under construction!!!!!

Dec 29th:
So we reach Goa early afternoon and I decide Im going to tag along with the Phirangs. We get to Vagator and we find out theres no place to stay!! All resorts are booked and when the reception says "Only 3500 per day", even if there were rooms, I doubt we wud have stayed there.So we are walking the streets and this lady literally bumps into me and after my Apologies, I ask if theres any place to stay. And Lo and behold, She takes us to her home, Gives us a bedroom and the living room!! And all this for only 350 bucks per day...that comes up to 70 bucks per person!! Can you believe that?
Andre and I walk land up on the beach searching for a place to saty and he says--"Hey, My tour book says theres supposed to be a lot of nude women here!!". Hmmmmm.. maybe there were, when the book was written, I say.
That Night, We celebrated smoking weed. I learnt how to make a joint. Took a few puffs too. Its not going to be a habit. I woouldnt find a weed anyway once im out of Goa.

Dec 30th:
Wake up early and I find Mangal playing his Mridang. Hes good, I should tell you that. So we decide to go catch breakfast and be back before the others are ready for the beach. So we trot along looking into places and finally settle on this place where we have to sit on the floor. Mangal found it cool so thats where we had breakfast.

Then we head off to the beach. Noga is already there with Andre and Chaitanya. Andre has named himself Hanuman, so from now on ..thats what I will call him. Thats Chaitanya, Hanuman and Me. Before we realise, the sun starts to set ans we sit on the rocks watching it. Its really a wonderful sight. Hanuman comes up with the idea to light up his chellum and all of us agree.

We get back home after this. And snore away to glory.

Dec31st:
The morning starts off with me taking a picture of the horrible scar on Mangal's forearm. He got this during his stay in Jaganath Puri.

You can see Chaitanya is really pissed when Hanuman takes this pic coz Hanuman and Chaitanya get into a fight over sharing of weed.

We get ready for the party and leave for 9Bar. Noga and I are looking really Cool and everybody is giving us the looks!! Who is this guy and who is this bomb with him??.. I can hear their thoughts.. Haha. Mangal is with us. Chaitanya and Hanuman take off to another party.

Midnight strikes. We wish each other a Happy new year and realise we are hungry so off we go hunting for a good place to eat... And while the food is getting ready we take a few pictures.


Jan 1st:
I decide to leave Goa and get my ass to Hyderabad. Noga and Mangal decide to see me off at the bus stand. So shweet of them. This is the farewell pic.

A wonderful vactaion I had. Im going back to Goa again soon. ...definetely.
