Gurgaon ( The City of Rising High lines and falling Neck lines)

Its apt to dedicate another post of this city of rising high lines and falling neck Lines.... It seems Gurgaon is coming up with another tower here to spoil the beauty of sky which is 14-15 floors and has 40000 Sqft / Floor, now i dont understand why do they have to build such huge structures in this dry land. I sometimes feel that the Haryana Gurgaon should ask all the builders to take part in compulsory plantation exercise which will increase the breathing space in this Desert.


Will edit the post with other details soon.....right now quite tied up with my work....

Here Iam in Gurgaon

wow what a city Gurgaon is ....people who have never been to this city have always heard great things about this place...Big structures...beautiful babes...classy cars...fancy dresses....but there is a bigger and darker side to this side, which doesnt have any form of public tranportation, couldnt believe what iam writing but thats the truth. This city has no Buses, no Auots and if you want to hire a cab, then they wouldnt take anything lesser than 400 bucks, and the only mode of transportation for a poor man is a rickshaw, who alos use the situation to charge exorbitant rates. Half the day there is no power, the situation is alarming even for water.There are traffic jams everywhere.
Then what does this city boasts of i think its the malls, cars and babes.
Iam reqally tired of the place. Every saturday and sunday its like a religion for people like me to go to Malls and spend some time watching people( understand yaar its Babes)...and after that completing the day with a movie or a nice dinner.
My suggestion to anyone who has an option to choose between cities not to choose this place for all its ills that it has got.

Hurray !!!! i can access blogspot from office

Hello guys...
happy to see that i can access blogspot from office....i generally find al such sites to be blocked and called as Useless, but they have forgot to identify this particular site i gues...
Will keep all the velas( yeah velas, becos thet have time even to read my posts) about my happenings in Gurgaon....

I miss XIMB

Next week i will be leaving to Gurgaon for my first Job.. It has been a boreing one month after two years of un contained fun at the campus....i was just wondering before the start of the vacations of how i will be spending my 2 months in home but luckily Cargill saved me and has asked me to join a month in advance as some new opportunities are shaping up, now gosh should reach there and see what the new opportunities are ...
Its really hard to stay in home( yeah had to spend most of my vacations in home itself as most of the friends are busy with their respective assignments). But this stay i realised what havoc TV is playing.....oooh my God dont understand how they produce so dirty serials, no iam not talking about the Hindi saaa bahu serials ( at least we can the models in these serials) iam speaking about pathetically horrible telugu serials. No one can understand, how they come up with such innovative stories which are very low in story part and loaded with high emotions. What i was surprised to find is that these serials ( mainly aired in Gemini TV) are having a loyal subscriber base, it was really wondersing to know that people are hoked to TV's from after noon 1.00 Pm to evening 11.00 Pm watching these serials continously...
But i dearly miss my XIMB....there were many reasons people have quoted why they missed the campus but i have my own ones....
1) I miss the late night coffee from the vending machines.
2) I miss Romanov Vodka ( Which i had only in XIMB campus) and being talli in campus, when friends would pick me up from places i dont know and throw me into my room. thanks to allt hose friends.
3) I miss the discussions that we( me, manav,maloy,shah,chandu,ram,etc..) had over tanushree datta's dressing in Aashiq banaye aapne movie...there was a lengthy debate about what tanushree was wearing in the song " Aashiq banaye aapne" yeah seriously.
4) I miss the late night assignments completions, after which we used to go and have early morning walk with friends( Where we discussed about the on going affairs in the campus)
5) I miss the JLT's, because i can sit near tree with my share of punch and look at around how people dance with different partners and how some unlucky guys, form snake patternsand they end up doing it in all the JLT's.
6) I miss the telugu movie downloads.....what ways GiKu tried to stope me and how i by passed him all the times.
7) I miss the bhakti updates from manav ( yes manav, who used to contribute very special quality ones )


Enough i guess...i have lot more but wouldnt be prudent to post everything here...



cheers,

Quotas in premier institutes

I dont know where the politics will take country to, once there is a proposal to introduce reservations in private sectors then there is another proposal to introduce quotas in Indias premier institutes like IIT's and IIM's.
What are they upto ?? to break the bone with unimaginative proposals, the mere proposals are enough to send shivers in the economy. What are they going to achieve ? The politicians argue that they want to see allround development of the country with development trickling to the masses and under privilezed. But they are forgetting that they will not only dis allow the country its fair share of growth but it will also push the country into the dark ages like those seen during license raj times.
The logic for quota in premier institutes given by the so called messiah's of masses is that these institutes have done little for the backward classes, but i hope they realise that its from these institutions some of the intelligent minds have come out who have been aprt of constructing a new India the best example is Mr. Narayana Murthy who is an IIT passout. The work done by him to the country is equivalent to the advantage the quota's might have done to few lot.
I dont understand why the government and politicians dont understand the basic tenet that the more they try to control and impose on something the sooner it will lose its sheen and glory.
I strongly feel UPA govt is a looser in controlling the opportunistic politics and the way pawns are moved certainly indicate that they are game for a larger plan.

About XIMB

Hi all...as the XIMB results are released i can see the concern of students who are yet undecided whether to join XIMB or not ?
and have received a mail from a candidate asking about the lateral placement scenario at XIMB.
Here are some of the facts about XIMB and most important about the placemnts that took place this year and hope that if some guy comes across this post it will serve him useful to make a conscious decision.

Lateral placements:

Laterals were as usual at great demand at XIMB this time. Most of the IT companies were intersted in the laterals and the profiles that they were offering were starting from Business Analysts to Functional onsultants. The varied the experince of the candidate the more interested the companies for e.g. Mindtree has taken a person having 6+ years experience in running a Architecture firm of his own. Companies like Wipro, mind Tree, Patni, Accenture recruited mostly the lateral candidates.Not only IT companies but the companies that showed interest in laterals were big majors like E&Y, McKc, JP Morgan etc. The packages offered were also inlne to any top B-school that they have visited.

Freshers Placements:

The above post doesnt mean that it was all rosy only for laterals, if laterals were in demand by some companies then freshers were picked up like hotcakes by others. some of the highest number of fresher offers were given by companies like Infosys, Godrej, IBM etc..

Would add to this post other details.....

Last post from XIMB

i feel like i had just started blogging and now iam 60 posts old and feel like still going. This is the last post of mine from XIMB campus.
It has been great to be introduced to a new concept called blogging and also the constant encouragement that i got from very few but loyal friends who regularly visited my blog and kept reading whatever crap i posted.
