Samanvay

Hi All,
Samanvay is the management festival of Department of Management studies at IIT Madras. There has been a talk that the name is being used by many Business Schools in South India, so some of us wanted to change the name to something new.
Please fill the excel sheet and send it to b.virdi[at]gmail.com. There is a treat for the person whoes name is approved by our department.
I will also send a personal thanks note to all of you. Once we have enough names I would send you the excel sheet and let you know how did your name do, how many names did we get, what were the wackiest names we got and what is the name selected by our department. If you want to give more than one name, just give the names a ranking.
And if you are planning to write JMET this year we promise free counselling to who ever wants to contact us. I am an alumni b.t.w.
Thanks
Virdi

Ritesh M Kini

Kini

I always talk about some guy, Ritesh M Kini. Sala konkani brahmin and is proud that Aishwarya Rai is also konkani, I think she is his sister. ;-)

Kini works in Tata Consultancy Servcies, in Bombay and is so pained with the traveling part that he wants to come to south and work in Chennai if given a chance.

He is an awesome guy, no not awesome but ok ok... he thinks he is awesome... anyways back to Kini. The first time I had a chat with him was near the hostel (where I was asked to gather everyone from Cauvery hostel and reach near CLT). There he was with Dada and as usual dada was giving gyan(believe me that was just the second day of our MBA and Dada was already giving gyan for free). That day there was this photo session for the MBA brochure and I had big beard at that time and Kini said "sala kashmiri militant." :-) he is kameena and was always healthy fun wth him. Never ever he does anything jis se kisi ka dil dukhe.

He never boozed or doped or smoked in 1st semester and had only "maaza mango drink" because it was not airated and also didnt have tea because thats also kind of NASHAA. Well, people do change a lot and Kini is now dope god and ciggi god and booze god and bird-watching god. He used to smuggle dope from marina beach to IIT in the last sem and used to sell to the B.Tech junta for 5 times the price.

In 2nd sem there was this MS scholar KKSKR (i will call her Kini Ki Sapnon Ki Rani - KKSKR) joining us for classes (believe me she has a very prettyface, dont ask about body) and "Kini ke dil ke taar bajne lage , uske man mein kuch halchal hui" and he because totally senti about her. Senti kya hua he always wanted to prove her a point and ended up fighting up with her. We all friends (some 6 -7 of us) went out once to eat at some place and they both ended up fighting. Kini is pakka idiot when it comes to girls.

Me and Rohit thought summers is the best time to get this girl for our man and we used to put hazar fight so that Kini and "KKSKR" can spend sometime together. But there was one wall between "KKSKR" and Kini, INDRAJEET KESHAV KELKAR. Kelkar marathi manus aaahe - he is getting married to another marathi manus in November.

Whenever we used to say "hey this is the right time go and talk to her, ja kini maar de kathoda, bol de usko" we used to find Kelkar coming in from somewhere and saying "tum log kya kar rahe ho?? kahan ja rahe ho??" mera toh dimag kharab ho gaya tha, what great timing Kelkar had. Sala works for Al Quieda I thought, sometimes.

Well Kini ka kuch nahi hua and "KKSKR" got a guy. Junta supposed that this guy was her brother for 3 semesters till someone saw them smooching in Saarang. Now they say "Batak (KKSKR) and Mr Batak (KKSKR's guy) aa rahe hain".

Kini motivates me a lot and will always cherish his friendship. It always fun to be with him.

To Kini I toast...

Pool and Beer!!

Someone sent me this pool table skills video and its awesome. Just look at the skills of the guy who is playing pool. I have tried my hand in pool but was never able to do justice to the game. Main reason being that I consider only those sports to be a sport if you sweat in that. I would rather go for jogging rather than playing pool. But this guy is god of all gods in pool. Hats off.

and also before i forget "dont touch my "beer"

hic!! hic!! hic!!

Sari!!!

Well the girl looks the most beatiful in a saari. Ok I feel that way. Like they say "hindustani naari ki sundarta ek saari mein hi hai"

For all the girls who want to learn how to wear one, here are the steps and for all guys who want to see their girls in "saari", learn first and then teach them.

Happy "saaaring"

PS: sorry Kini I was tempted to put this on my blog.

Great Ball and Great Acident !!!

Check out the ball of the century. Awesome.

Check out the aweful accident.

One video showing a legend and other showing someone just like that dying on the road, life mein kuch nahi kiya aur mar gaya.

I found these two videos to be anti of each other. (+1 and -1 types)

Jai Raam Ji Ki.

Anand

Anand

Another one of my favorite movies is Anand. It teaches us a lot of things. Few of the greatest motivating dialogs are :

• Zindagi Zinda Dilli Ka Naam Hai Murda Dil Kya Khaak Jiya Karte Hain.
• Jab tak jeena hai hans ke jeena hai.
• Bolo khoob bolo, aacha bolo kabhi kisi ka dil mat dukhao.
• Zindagi badi honi chahiye lambi nahi.
• Har din ko hans ke jiyo khush raho.
• Hum aane wale gham ko kheench taan ke aaj ki khushiyon par le aate hain.

Very inspiring.

Deewar 1975

Deewar

Deewar is one of the best Hindi movies I have ever seen. Not because of the dialog "mere paas maa hai" but for other reasons. Attitude of Amitabh Bachchan. He is awesome.

In the scene above he is asked to join the gang of Dabar Saab, because he beats the shit out of "Saamant Ke Aadmi". Dabur Saab says, "Vijay mujhe tumhari zaroorat hai aur main tumhari koi bhi zaroorat poori karne ke liye atiyaar hoon" and throws bunch of notes on the table, "Vijay aaaj tumhara pehla din hai yeh lo!!"

Vijay : " dabar saab aapko yaad hai, aap bahut sal pehle ghore ke race khelne jaya karthe the, aur ek jegah ruk kar aapne jute polish karwaya karte the? Main aaj bhi feke hue paise nahi uthata"

And very unlike anyother hindi movie of that time, Amitabh Bachchan doesnt sing songs around trees; he is angry young man and angry men don't sing songs!!

Just for your information Shashi Kapoor won the best actor award (FilmFare)for this movie and not Bachchan Saab.

Whats this??

GOOGLE GULP !!!

Think fruity. Think refreshing.

Think a DNA scanner embedded in the lip of your bottle reading all 3 gigabytes of your base pair genetic data in a fraction of a second, fine-tuning your individual hormonal cocktail in real time using our patented Auto-Drink™ technology, and slamming a truckload of electrolytic neurotransmitter smart-drug stimulants past the blood-brain barrier to achieve maximum optimization of your soon-to-be-grateful cerebral cortex. Plus, it's low in carbs! And with flavors ranging from Beta Carroty to Glutamate Grape, you'll never run out of ways to quench your thirst for knowledge.

This is what google has to say about Google Gulp. I am confused, are they realy coming into fruit juices and energy drink? I mean its really not matching google's image. Please put funde. Thanks. Where can I get the Google fruit juice?? Does it really exist?? Or its in some virtual space?? Give me Gyan !!!

Bought TV (14th April 2005)

My new TV !!!

We had set top box but no TV. :-) amazing na.

So I saved some money and bought TV. Mom always says save money save money. I thought "agar aabhi save karoonga then bad mein I will buy stuff with that money." Why not buy it now. So here I am bying stuff and saving for future.

Its Philips 21" Flat Screen for Rupees 11800. Good buy I guess. Plan is to buy Washing machine, Refrigirator and Air conditioner this year. 8 months are there. Major planning to be done.

I believe in dowry a lot and who ever marry's me is expected to bring home a lot of cash and I will buy car with that money. :-E

Just kidding. Will buy car little later.

Cheers. TV party with Formula 1 race this wekend. Ashwin is coming and also Pandey ji from bangalore.

Khoob jamega rang jab mil baithenge aap main aur TV. wah wah wah.

Is this cricket??

Pakistan practicing in Ahemedabad

Let’s play cricket.
If you are wondering why every spectator is dressed in khaki then for your information these are the police cops of Gujju-land. Is such cricket necessary?? Too much politics sometimes I think even if the whole of the population of Pakistan and Hindustan say let there be peace these F%$#ing political leaders wont let there be peace.
I hate Bal Thakarey and Narendra Modi and would like to show them the correct finger. __
Just recalled, when there was this Godhara incident in March 2002, the gujju-land CM said "Ismein ISI ka haath hai !!" and he did nothing to stop the killing of 2000 innocent people in Gujrat.
God let there be one country. Let there be peace. Let all the families separated during partition meet. Let us grow as a economically powerful and educated nation. Let us not spend money on arms and ammunition but feed to poor and build homes for the people living in slums.
One day me and Kini were talking of going to Lahore and Islamabad. Hey Kini shall we?? Islamabad is one of the most beautiful cities on earth and Anarkali Baazar in Lahore is the place to be if you like Kebabs.

Jai Raam Ji KI.
