Part 2: Things that I will definitely miss in MDI.

The list from my previous entry, as I said, is not exhaustive. Not by a long way. Here are some of the other things that I will cherish from my stay over here at MDI. I will add to this list as and when anything else comes to my mind.

1) A 10 mark question for the end term: “You are currently 3^rd in a race, and you overtake the 2^nd place guy. Which position will you now be in??” [I think I might have actually gotten this answer wrong. Nothing else explains how I got a C grade in this subject].

2) DUDE *Hic* I AM NOT DRUNK!!! *Barf* [Think of a name. Yeah you are right, that’s the person!!]

3) P1: “Hey man! What does you girlfriend call you??”

MM : “AYE MA-!@#!@-!@#!#!#! !!!!!” [In that special tune of his… a “MORE” Classic!!!]

4) Agar kisine sir hilaya toh .303 goli se uda doonga [oh that BFBV end term paper was legendary not for the paper, but for the invigilator!!!]

5) Basically AIIYO, Actually AIIYO, Basically AIIYO, Actually AIIYO, WTF AIIIYOOO WTF AAIIIYYOO [The Anu/Ponnu Chant]

Things that I may/may not miss at MDI.

As I wind up my days at MDI, I just thought of penning down some of the things that have made my time over here at MDI memorable. These are just a few of the varied memories that I will cherish once I leave this place. Do try guessing the people I mention here.

1) If you really look at it… it’s interesting. (Last counted at 40 times in a one and a half hour class. How did I ever survive those strategy classes, only god knows)

2) Think like a CEO (Yes Sir, will most definitely do! J)

3) We are going to have a state-of-the-art computer facility, with un-legal software.

4) It is the “responsity” of the students council to make sure things don’t get stolen (yes this is very correct English, just meant to highlight that one word).

5) HEY KARTIK !@#!@#!! WHEN WAS I RUDE TO YOU!! (A Chinese Madhavan classic!!!)

6) Do not try to change the system. These “fellows” will put you down. These “fellows” na, will not do anything. *Goes back to the board to write something* (Don’t know how many will notice this one, but I will definitely listen to what he says).

7) Here comes ------ MAN!! With all 25 (or is it 24) teeth flashing, here to save the world from milking the cow!! (Oh boy those economics classes were a classic!!)

8) SHWOOSSHHH *Clunk* (Hurtling locks (of the lock and key fame) across the hallway hits the head of a certain someone)

“oh theri !@#!@!@#” (lot of family members start coming up now),

*BAM* *DISHOOM* “Ugh !@#!#!” (more of the same)

[I’m sure many of us will miss this particular Hostel 7 rivalry!!]

9) …..If you see the “this” of the “that”,errrrrrr, you will find the scheduling of the “this”, eerrrrrrrrr, and the “that” to be equal….. [The Dots indicate me in deep sleep, waking up, hearing that sentence, and going back to deep sleep]

10) I salute the RFID technology. Please note the word “RFID”. It will be good for the interview. [Yes people, Achromatica spawned from these classes.]

11) “Maiiidaaamm, Please summarissse the lassstt claaassssssss” *smirk* [ufffff it was a pain I tell you, a pain!!]

The Week that was

Boy was it one helluva week!!! To tell you the truth, I have never ever had so much fun as I had this past week!! Be it the mallu parties, or the New Years party, or the endless conversations!!! Some things I just missed in my fourth term, while others really got me thinking. It feels great to have things the way they are going. There are only a few loose ends left to tie up and figure out... Hopefully that happens soon enough!! :)

Thankyou all for making this week one of the best ever for me!! :)

The Cognitive Knot untied... onto the Creative knot we go!!!!

Yes... its time to bring out the creativity in me. Only one small problem. I am not. :) Hence, I use my "resources" to bring the creativity in me. Help!!! Help!!! It's the LEAST you can do for a friend... a small step for you, a huge step for this MDI Student!!! :)

Things that just make you laugh when you read

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I read this in the July issue of the Forbes Magazine:

"The resentment against against an overwhelming arrival of foreigners came out in June in an attack against a Pole."

People have now started attacking inanimate objects too, to show their resentment!!! :)

Why does it always happen like this?!?!

Yep.... once again it is the case. It's exam time, and all of a sudden I am writing stuff over here. There have been times when I have been watching Boston Legal (or any other series for that matter) for hours and hours NON-STOP. But, there is something with exams, that induces the writing instict in me. Is it just that I'm actually practicing??? Because (oh yeah, they say don't start with because.... but what the hell!! :D), for all you know, I might be writing the exact same thing in the exams the next day!! :)

Well, it's something that I myself may not be able to answer. Maybe you can help me out .(Those of you who do end up reading this that is.... which I think is not many ;) )

Some interesting things from Warren Buffet's letters to the shareholders

I am at present going through some of the letters to the shareholders given by possibly the best investor of all time, Mr. Warren Buffet (He is also the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway). I'll be posting some interesting things as and when I read them. Here is the first one :

Ben Graham told a story 40 years ago that illustrates why investment professionals behave as they do: An oil prospector,moving to his heavenly reward, was met by St. Peter with bad news. “You’re qualified for residence”, said St. Peter, “but, as you can see, the compound reserved for oil men is packed.There’s no way to squeeze you in.” After thinking a moment, the prospector asked if he might say just four words to the present occupants. That seemed harmless to St. Peter, so the prospector cupped his hands and yelled, “Oil discovered in hell.” Immediately the gate to the compound opened and all of the oil men marched out to head for the nether regions. Impressed, St.Peter invited the prospector to move in and make himself comfortable. The prospector paused. “No,” he said, “I think I’ll go along with the rest of the boys. There might be some truth to that rumor after all.”
