Corporate Fundas


ever since I got placed I have people giving me fundas of how to survive in the corporate world ... the dirty world out there ...... and to illustrate many of my frnds opinions here is a pic I came across ....:P


watch out this space for more anecdotes on ' Moving up the corporate ladder ' ......

Minors !!

.....such a misleading title of my blog entry .... well minors is the one thing tht the freshies dread at IIT, the second yrites get used to, The third yrites sulk at and the fourth yrties njoyy ... coz they don't have many exams to give .......

so while most of the insti prepares for the minors that start tomorrow I plan to doze of ..... dreaming ..snoring .... not the least bothered maybe ... but yes nostalgic that these are the last of my minors....

Finally

So finally ...finally I decide to blog ....... Well it has been two years now that have intentionally refrained myself from 'not' blogging ....Well I have a passion for creative writing , since long .. I write poetry, read a lot and thus expressing my thoughts , my views by writing comes instinctively .. yet .. yet I have barred myself from blogging . Reasons r many but I'd stick to The Firm's ( Well , thats my employer ....www.mckinsey.com :) ) way of breaking down a problem into parts and analyzing it ( I'll get back with more on The firm and my interview later ) ...
1. I knew it was addictive ... and for some reason ' addiction' brings a negative connotation ....I mean u r tobacco addict .. alcohol addict .. and then the people who r addicted to blogging... !!!

2. For some reason I felt tht having people read my thoughts ... my views ... my unarticulated opinionated stuff would make me feel so naked when I confront them.. coz they would have read about my thought process ... and would anticipate my moves ....... too philosophical .. lets leave it thr ...

3. For some reason I have been surrounded by this close circle of friends ..... tht i never felt the need to express my thoughts by blogging .. I like talking too ... and have been vocal most of the times .....

So in typical Mckinsey fashion I lay down my reasons. [:D] ... am sure gearing up for the stint this summer.

Now as to the reasons why I have decided to blog after controlling for 2 years ... we'll no prizes for guessing but eventually people do succumb to desires ... and resorting to blogging eventually proves the fact that I still cant get over it ... ( seems like am talking about my lovelife ..... hhhahhh )

So, at 4 am in the morning .... thanks to IIT Delhi 24 x 7 internet facility ( I seriosuly pity the IITB guyz ... God give them the strength and the heart to survive without this basic need ... I wouldn't mind changing Maslow's Hierarchy of needs just a little bit .... ) as I listen to ' Ham Kis Gali Jaa Rahe Hai .... ' by Atif Aslam .... having watched apprentice ( episode 7, 8 and 9 ) during the past three hours I feel there couldn't have been a more apt day / night for me to start blogging .........

The perfect beginning when there r like a thousand thoughts blowing up in my mind .... when I donot have a friend close by to share .... I feel the dire need ... the necessity to blog .. I just love it ....

I dunno but writing to my heart's content at 4 am in the night ......... as CD ( initials used intentionally ) would put it gives you orgasmic pleasure ..........

I change the song ....... Celiene Dion .... I Drove all night ......

Love this song for some strange reason ......and on that note I abrubtly end this blog ....... dunno why but maybbe am too tired ...... exhausted [:P]
