Inspiring stuff

http://gauravsabnis.blogspot.com

Really inspiring stuff from this guy Gaurav,an IIML 2004 passout,ex-employee of IBM(yes, he resigned from the comforts of a high-paying job just yesterday even though he was under no duress from management) to stand up for his beliefs..Rare to find such an inspiration in today's f*&^ing world, where one is found willing to compromise for his idelas at the slightest hiccup.

His blog has already witnessed 2 lacs(yes do laakh!!) hits..he has become more popular since this episode..and what a shame for IIPM!!They have earned more disrepute(whatever little reputation that insti and its Director held has gone down the drains..Guess IIPM legal advisers need to go through Arindam Chaudhri's path-breaking!! novel "Count your chickens before they hatch")..Thousands of people have started blogs in his support, daring IIPM to take action against all of them.And mine is also a small effort to help his cause.

Cheers to you Gaurav..May your tribe grow manifold.

Prologue -RECKers in Chief

Long last, after quite a hectic schedule,(U must be wondering how the heck did I get some work,and even I did get something worthwhile, How the F*%^ did I manage to do it? I'm still unable to fathom how this happened!!) I'm free to pen down my experiences of the days I spent at RECK..we 6 asshol#s proudly called ourselves Anda GT(I still don't have any iota of what those two letters mean.Guess it stands for Ga&d thuk$% or something "remotely" similar!)..Character intros today

The head of this group (an absolute di$%head too!) was none other than..................... the one and only ANDA..aka Raju..roll #13(Please don't ask me to write his full name it's so miniscule that when you fill a form, there are not enough checkboxes in the entire sheet to fill that up!!).A small,frail boy fresh from his village home into college..The secret behind his name stemmed from the fact that his face resembled an egg..and still does(somebody correct me if I'm mistaken)..took it as a pride to start this group..and He had a big crush on 12!!He hasn't told this to many but pals get to know!!

Then there was "Kela" aka Ghistu aka Ranjit..an exact antithesis of the "Ranjit" of Bollywood..a tiny, cute boy from Assam..when he was not gossipping with us(which was very rare!), he immersed himself in books.

How can I forget "Katz" aka Sathish..a brilliant sportsperson(like me!!)..when he danced, it was fun to watch..Cricket was, and continues to be his life..His escapades from his Police Inspector dad are worth listening to any day anytime.My only CO2 mate

Vinod was another "gem"..soft-spoken..didn't speak or do much..but if u dared to instigate him, u gotta be prepared for a hell of a time.

Rakesh, now my colleague in the softie in which I work although at a different location was a big charsi(last heard he continues to be so!)..One dared to enter his room at his own risk..had a bath once every week(to be very liberal!)

The story cannot be complete without Warikoo ..aka Mota Aatankwadi.a gora,plump Kashmiri with loads of brains and unlucky to be my next rollno!and so had to bear me..A wonderful chap who was one of the intelligent guys..FYI 12 used to ask him her doubts and that used to produce envy in lots of my friends!!)..and Riz and Lath who were very close to our group and cannot be missed out here.

Not to forget yours faithfully,a key member of the gang..What do i write about myself?That's better left for later..as we proceed--->

Main Aisa hi Hun Part 2

As a continuation to my earlier blog,on prolonged pondering,(yes, i do exercise my brain cells sometimes!!) I realised I had a lot of other unique attributes which I wud like to share with u(those who can bear can read ahead, else go to f^&9ing hell!)

I seem to be using a lot of ^&*%$# words lately..The preceding sentence was to drive home this point!!)Perhaps its a result of my voracious appettite for reading and listening to JayZ and Marshal Mathers..and perhaps,its coz I like to use it!(no inhibitions,no strings attached)

I am a profligate rascal!!perennially short of cash,whether it be the first of the month or the last..lots of my pals wonder what I do with the miserly amount I earn for doing nothing at a softie..

I love to love "Namma Bangaloru" inspite of all the numerous shortcomings it has..dunno why.Bcoz if I stick to something or for my close friends or family, I stand by them to the best of my meager capabilities,inspite of heavy odds.

I absolutely love Ganguly bashing(provided a bat,I'm ready to beat that sonofabiT^& Dada to pulp anyday..and am ready to face the consequences from his small coterie of Bong Bhakts..few of them as they remain now!!)I have been reprimanded by my company's HR for the same..But I simply can't resist this temptation anytime.
Not to forget,people still mistake me to be "seedha sudhra"..God, correct them of their improper connotations about a fu&*ing waste like me!!

Thats all for the present..Will keep adding to my everincreasing pool of "commendable qualities"
