gooogle shocks!

After two and a half months of vetty time in office...i tried to find some cat material online..So i opened the browser..and took help of google to find some CAT stuff..The first page of search results contained:

Cat online dissection-- ... Teachers can also print out worksheets and other materials! ..

i followed the link only to find a webpage with an image of a person with green coloured apron opening the skin of a cat with a doctor's knife...
phew! i only knew of encountering a black cat as a bad sign...but wat does a dead cat mean?? what effect does this have on my CAT exam?...any answers?? any online catstrologers?? plzz help me out..

what a ride it was!

One news(can't tell it's good or bad) from my side is
that i've got a new name "srini"..though very few ppl
call me by that name..the number forms a considerable
part of the whole lot of ppl who call me by
name(s)..Coming to the actual content i thought of
sharin with u all..,
it was around 11:30 on saturday afternoon and we
were(11 of us) asked to assemble at our ofice building
..We were supposed to go to a place some 15 kms from
this place.By the time all of them arrived and some
logistics problems got resolved,it was 12:45 and the
sun is shining very bright on top over our heads..we
got into the car(it was a ford ikon make)..
We were five in the car carefully following the taxi
as we are not so sure of the route to our
destination.Swami,Shesha,Venky,Bala and me(in the
order.....order??)were all sitting in silence eagerly
waiting for someone to start a conversation.Swamy took
the lead to break the silence..
He said "we shall listen to some music"..managing the
steering with a single hand he put a cd into his mp3
player and connected it to a cassette which he in turn
put in his car stereo.. (new technology..i thought..)
then a song begin to play.it's a slow song..but i
couldn't figure out the language in which the song was
sung..so i didn't pay much concentration to the song..
But still the melody was good that i began to slightly
hum the song as it came to an end..it reminded me of
one of rehman's numbers.."vennela" song from
premadesam..
After the song got over,swamy told that it was his own
song.."own song"?? he revealed that he himself wrote
the lyrics and composed the song..i didn't beleive
him, thinking that it's very tough to get that
recording clarity even if u cud compose..he told he
got the song recorded in one of the bangalore's best
recording studio..and moreover the song was sung by
none other than our"vodka"(bitsian fame..)..All this
to satisfy his hobby..listening to all this,i was
almost jumping like a baby in the back seat..we asked
him more details about how it all happened..and he
relished his memories while he was narrating the whole
experience..It was really great to hear from him..

Then we moved on to discussing on various
topics..these days it's becomin difficult to pass a
laccha session without havin a piece of "cricket" in
it.be it the ashes,ganguly-chappell issue or dravid's
poor form...Our actual concentration was on the last
one..Dravid..We passed a few comments on
dravid..mostly supporting him..but Swamy was against
all of us..in fact against Dravid itself..seems he
used to be a good friend of dravid in his intial days
of international cricket and also helped him in many
ways..but somehow he(swamy) befriended him due to some
reasons..i was taken aback by surprise again..but
controlled myself as i'm very new to this group and my
emotions might have some effect on my fate..actually
cudn't beleive i'm sitting with someone who
be-friended RAHUL DRAVID!

actually we were all going to play a cricket match
against HP and all these happened on the way..I was
still in a state of wonder,awe and amazement when i
was asked to bat at no.2.So no wonder i got out for a
duck..but still the day was filled with surprises and
shocks...At the end of day,it was a great experience
and i'm lookin forward to have more of them..

PS: names,persons,numbers including the story is all true..:)

my visit to IIM-B!!

well..it was very gloomy and almost about to rain wen i reached the
entrance of iim-b,a place where even the best of the best might not get a chance to get in..i was lucky though,as the gateman assumed me to be a student of iim-b itself and so steered away easily into the campus...it was my first time to iim-b,for that matter,any of the iim's...on both
sides of the road that lead to the main building,were different kinds of trees(not that of asoka's funda..this seems to be a mini dense forest) wonder how it feels to walk on that roads at night...
As we approached the main building,i was feelin very happy from within..dunno the reasons,but the very site of the building and the fact that i was inside the campus made me very happy.. we parked our vehicle in the VISTORS parking lot,and made our way into the building..It had a small but well-decorated reception center with noone sittng at the desk..(it happens..sometimes..even with the best management...;)

After dropping in the application form(s) i went inside to have a look at the classes and get a feel of being at iim-b..i was surprised to see the stone-walled buildings and creepers hanging down from above..i felt good..a little excited..until my friend asked me to control my emotions..before someone makes out that we are not..iim-b'ites..We had to start back again as we had some engagements,but rain god had
prevented me from leavin the place..

As rain came down heavily,i was wondering how my fate would turn..(turn coz..it's not in the right way at present..;)i was talkin to myself for abt 10 min abt all the possibilities and the effects on my near future..And suddenly,rain stopped and headed back..There was a smile on my face as i drove past the security personnel as God sent me two signs about my future:
1.Gateman didn't stop me thinking that i actually belonge to this place.
2.God sent down rain to make my stay a little longer at iim-b.

home...chweeeeet home....

A big archway is what all u can see at the entrance...after thouroughly checked and verified by the security at the gate, u will be asked to get down ur vehicle and take an open air intra commuting vehicle to reach the main door.In the way u mught find find a lush green meadow...(golf court if u r mistaken..) on one side..and a swimming pool on the other side..not to forget the hospitality of the female helpers sitting beside you...As you pass the tennis court and the jog track, u might have already covered a distance of 3 km form the main entrance and just about the reach the main door.After being greeted by a new set of helpers(female again...;) )..u will be asked to wait in the drawing room(lobby).The drawing room is one of the smaller rooms in the building..except that the ceiling is a bit higher and the chandeliers are just enough to light a basketball stadium...Being a little bit anxious to find out how the rest of the house looks..u might just start to sneak around...

Finding a mysterious staircase leading downstairs,u quickly get down to find the largest library you have seen for your life.Confused as always, u find an AAM(Automated Assisting Machine)..u just have to say the name of the book aloud and it wil go find the book and get back to you...With lot of happiness and anxiety you continue your hunt to explore the other places...
You try making your way into one of the 19 bedooms in the mansion,u will find urself quite embrassed after gettting rejected by the AAM(Automated Authorising Machine..;))as an unauthorised entry...then u realize bedrooms and bathrooms are personal affairs and start to move on to the dining hall.....
fine...no mood to continue...since i'm gona stop here..all u might find is an underconstruction board asking u take a diversion...;)

oh i forgot to mention..the house i'm speaking of is my penthouse...somewhere down the lane...after 15 years..
