The legend of a wounded knight



T
he legend of a wounded knight...
The hyenas are laughing again..
Yes , it’s scary and frustrating,
if someone laughs on your pain..
Yes , it’s filthy and disturbing,
if you ‘ve lost your battle again
Yet you brim, as you know , who's goin' to laugh last...


                       one of the famous pre- Raphaelite paintings

Drooping shoulder, weary eyes
And you have roamed to the Rome,
Day goes by and night flies
And you find comfort in a tomb,
The devil has smiled again...
Yet you glee, as you know, who's goin' to laugh last!

In a plight, yet you fight,
So what if once you bite the dust,
Keep up fight, keep up fight,
So what if you can't do the just,
The sun has risen again
And you surge to the shore, now they know , who's goin' to...

I was wondering on the seashore


           at 3 a.m. in the night,
                       

My eyes were weary and


           my imagination taking flight;



 I wanted you in my arms, 


            close to heart and so tight....
         

 that you gasp to breath


            and I smoke a puff of light,

       
 Oh!world!!you can't leave me



            in the wee hour of night,

If so...

          muzzle and blinker my soul,
         
       
        for i want a peaceful death
              without any fight....

The irony of a merchandised leader


कभी गुस्सा भी आता है,
कभी हैरत भी होती है,
ये सांचोँ मेँ जो तुमने मेरा अक्स डाला है,
मेरा ही रुप है या उसका भी कोई नया संस्करण...
मैँने तो सांचोँ को तोड़ने को बुने थे ये ताने-बाने,
किताबोँ से कहीँ बेहतर,बनियान के उपर ज़िन्दा रखा तुमने मुझे....
तुम्हारा शुक्रिया!!
Che...one of the rare pics......the genuineness of smile can not be merchandised !!

The confession of a modern day armchair thinker


I shouldn't be ANNA...
'cause the noise of this crowd makes me nauseates,
the sound of hailing someone up or down,
irritates me/
though I haven't cared
less or more
for anyone...
Till date
I can turn and move
files over files;
should I move on over my data and dynastic majesty;
even that pint of courage,
would be,
enough for me...
In desperation and acting to bring diffrence..
That seems a probable reason..
For my not being Anna.
-from
Abhay deol in an administration's role in the movie 'Shanghai'
The inactivity of administrator and our intellectuals has done more harm to the Indian society......than a retard politician!!

Yes! I know what you did (in your) last summer (training)!!


Summer trainee or management trainee is one of the fanciest occupation….it simply means that you owe nothing to  the company and nothing is different in the case of that company. Although you might have been told in your institution that you are the ambassador of your institute, yet you always remain that decade-old Bajaj scooter which not only need many kicks but has to be tilted in a certain comic angle to suit the company’s needs.






Here are 7 highly effective ways in which you can improve your image (not possible if already dented!)
1. Cram the most typical words you got to know during your academic years. Use those words to show fake understanding of any topic being discussed in the meeting.


2. Be updated and information ready. Anybody, at any moment, can ask you a tricky question. E.g. what’s the score?

3.Be quick in approach and techno savvy because company don’t  like lethargic persons and spoon feeders You should be able to quickly hide your chat window and decipher the need to choose a computer kept in corner  without being said so.

4. Come office in a clean look. YES, the one which you sported on your last date which happened just after the Jurassic age.

5. Try to interact with people in your office no matter if they belong to the B&W Doordarshan days .In this way, you will be able to gauge the political leaning of office staff and can lean yourself accordingly.

6. Be attentive and maintain attendance. I know you never did it in your academic years but believe me you can fake it. Where is a will, there are ways to use it in your sentences as in following “I will do it in best possible ways’’, “I will do so as you say”.


7. Try to bring productivity in the company by your valuable insights. Any idea buried within your mind is worth a bomb and you have every right to explode it on the head of  the organization.


More to come… in next blogs…stay tuned!!:)thanks for reading....

10 benefits of being a management trainee


10 benefits of being a management trainee


Management trainee is a kind of animal who is usually raised in the sanctuary of academic field and then suddenly pushed into the corporate jungle.  A trainee usually sees this opportunity as …well nothing but as an opportunity  to get a job after the completion of his study. Wait! Did I hear learning, exposure, experience and PPO? buwaahhh!!!

Here are the benefits…..
1.    You will get a system with internet facility so you can twit, chat , share  and like which is great if it comes under your digital marketing platform and process  development project .(fancy name ,isn’t it?)
2.    You will know that copy-paste work prevails even beyond your academics.
3.    You can brag to people that you are working very hard(ly) and that’s too on G-talk!
4.    You will get to learn marketing methodology and will get a better understanding of market than your neighborhood paanwaallah.
5.    You will understand the real importance of that complex algebraic sum solved during your board exam preparation.
6.    You got admission into your present college through sports quota ?Okay, you will surely benefit from that as such people are highly needed to fetch a glass of water and piles of files up and downstairs.
7.    You can ,judiciously, use your  idle time by idling more  in making a database for your organization(that’s the best job any organization can provide to an intern).
8.    You can lament over the fact that you did not study properly in the last semester. You immediately take corrective steps and like the page on facebook named ‘let this semester go, I will study seriously from next!’
9.    You get free chai(tea).
10.You get repeated boosts of creativity and  now think like an entrepreneur and start dreaming about your new start up business (meanwhile you forget the fact that you still can’t pronounce and write entrepreneur!).

Ohh.....the irony of an MBA graduate!!!

ManBelowAverage is a slang you may not have noticed in the mainstream media.It is, basically, a part of  the campus lingo.Often used for management graduates,the word signifies the scoffing view possessed by our elite class.Lawyers,Doctors,Engineers, academicians.....where do a marketing guy belongs to ???Certainly a manager is not in the elite club of people as stated above nor does he is comfortable in the privileged group of artist,poets and writers.He is not a gifted personality , in fact , many a times way below the intellectual level of a fifth grader!!Managers are people who do not know basics of various things....They supposedly and unknowingly use jargon and are supposed to know all the unknown thing!THEY are supposed to be a quick learner and good in adapting in any condition.....and most important fact....they are expected to deliver the desired result.The life of an MBA student is like this only;especially in India and more if they are not from those Indian Ivy league(no!it is not something related to Indian premier league!).So in next couple of blogs....I will try to depict the dilemma of an average Indian management  student  ..... sorry I should say...the dilemma of a Man Below Average.
;-)Amen!!
