Quest from within....

Choo loon main, itna karein....
Chal padoon, tou kitna door....

Missed me? Well, you would if you were reading this blog. Sadly, no one does other than me. So, it's good to be back....now, if you are expecting something radically different (or even just different for that matter), well you are in for surprise....there isn't going to be any :-)

Anyway, life's moving along. Studies are just about ok. Not very happy with how I have handled Corporate Finance ( should have done a better job). Anyway it's not too late. I am sure I will cover it up. Again, that's not really important. What's more important is that I am back to write what I would like to read later....! Now let me figure out what I would like to read the next time I open this blog.....

The same questions keep coming back to me -- if I think this MBA is worth it or not and somehow people around me are more worried about the answer,then I really am. Infact, I am at peace over this decision. I know this is the right decision.

Events in the last couple of weeks.....

We had this professor who had come over to teach us Oral......(no) Communication....got your hopes hi, huh? Well, anyway, total crap, quite honestly. I really creamed her in the feedback....again ,this is irrelevant. What's more important is that this lady was amazing at face reading. I, out of my ego, refused to see her till Aseem went and she read Aseem unbelievably well. It was truly amazing. I can probably read the guy this well having spent a large part of my last 3 years with him but someone who's probably done just 3-4 sessions, can she really do it? Yes, she did. Simply amazing. Then I made the trip too, and she actually read me very well. She told me and aseem both that we were leadership material. Infact, she mentioned that aseem and I were "xerox copies" of each other w/o knowing that aseem and I know each other prior to joining this MBA. I was really impressed ( it also had a lot to do with the fact that she praised both of us separately to high heavens.....that was nice.....c'mon who doesn't like to be praised)

Spoke to Gaudy....the new IJP for Project Managers is out. Nice. Gaudy gets to become one this time. He actually deserved to be one looking at those who did become the last time. He just made huge faux pas. I am sure Pradipta or Raman won't let it happen this time. The guy's good and you can't ignore his capabilities just because of some stupidities in an hour of interview.

Went over to Abu Dhabi to see Ayesha. This was the first time I went home since coming over 2 months back. As soon as I am in AD, I feel like I am home. Dubai just does not give me that feel. Abu Dhabi is home. I know that AD too has changed a lot since I was here roaming the streets but yet, it's home. Was nice to be home. On top of that, good to see Ayesha, Chip and the little ones.

I have also decided to read and understand the book of knowledge. I shall read the Holy Quran. The book has knowledge and I want that. This is probably just another way of looking for peace that has eluded me for years. I need it. I hope that knowledge is bestowed upon me and I do not misuse it. With knowledge comes great responsibility. I look forward to it.

Spoke to her. It's always nice to hear her. She's an angel. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Akela nahi main, khuli ankhon se neend mein chalta....
Girta zyada kam sambhalta.....

Akela nahi main, khuli ankhon se neend mein chalta....
Girta zyada kam sambhalta.....

Don't cheat the person you love. If you think that she is not meant for you, say it, accept it and end the relationship. Don't drag it. It's not helping her. It's not helping you. But you must know what you really want. In love, I believe, it's more important to be honest than a good samaritan. There is nothing as a good samaritan in love.
Honesty comes before conscious. Here again, honesty with oneself before honesty with the one you care for (please note I do not use the word 'love' here - you probably don't love the person any longer - you probably never did).

Either you are in love or you are not. End of it. And everyone knows where they stand. Accept it. Don't run from it. You can't. The more you run, the more you are digging a hole for yourself.

Akela nahi main, khuli ankhon se neend mein chalta....
Girta zyada kam sambhalta.....

One last thing...I beat Aseem in Snooker.....well he gave me 40 to start with. Trust me, I lost twice with that kind of a score to start with. This guy's amazing. A treat to watch. I haven't seen too many people playing but this guy is simply amazing. We have this other guy who says he is an ex-state champion. Aseem can beat that guy any day he wants. Y'see, Aseem's someone on whom I can bet my life on almost anything he does. This is the faith I carry in him. Back to the point....Amazing snooker player....Superb! That's not the point dimwit....I beat him..yeah!!!!
