This post is important for all those guys who want to know how achievers think&hellip

There is a girl in my class who got selected for the interview at Schlumberger..
There are very few girls whom I rate so highly…She was in a bit of dilemma(or so I thought)…
She has two companies in her kitty already…SLB would be the third if she makes it…
She has a score of 1480 in GRE…and A GPA of over 8.0…This guarantees a seat in the best univ. in the US
She scored 99.32% in CET this yr..This makes her elligible for Jamnalal Bajaj(one of the top coll in the country)
She was a merit ranker in SSC
She is a NTSE topper(tht makes her one of the best in the country)
I asked her if she was confused w Read more:point
Schlumberger… 2007-04-27 16:05:32 Pls read THIS post on SLB to understand kya jhool chalu hai
As expected,Deepak made it…So did Jagruti…The following guys did not make it-Rahul Bhat,Sameer,Supriya and above all(heh heh)me!
You could say I am in good company(no pun intended)…

Along with this post I would also like to share this experience…
Now as most of you would know,Sclumby was a dream company…majorly coz it had an enormous package(7.5 lacs)
When I was at their corporate office,I met a petroleum engineer from MIT pune…He was currently placed in Singapore in some company(whose name I dont remember) This company is Schlumby’s competitor and pays him 20 lac Indian rupees per annum….
He was here at SLB to give an interview.SLB was ready to pay him more than the current co he was in.
Now,MIT is an average college…w Read more:Schlumberger
Top 5 - World Cup 2007-04-27 15:59:14 I just dont want Australia to win this World
Cup…
Top 5 reasons are given below…
1.I dont like sledging…Sledging is synonymous with Australians
2.Its boring to see the same team win again and again and again…
3.They are taking the Ugly Australian tag a bit too seriously…
4.They are too methodical…This is killing the unpredictable nature of the game
5.They pushed Sharad Pawar from the podium…Not tht I care,but I wasnt getting a fifth reason.

All this time in engg. I had wondered what was the Black

Had to dedicate atleast one post for the project we did(did??) in the last yr of engg.
Our topic is supposed to be”modeling the supply chain“
This project was to be completed within the last 1 year…we did it in the last 1 day…actually last 3 days…
After a lot of copying and pasting,we finally completed the Hurculean task…

Yeah tht pink number….It shows a four digit no….doesnt it?
Thanks to you readers I have completed 1000 hits…..Not that I get a prize for completing 1000 hits or anything….Its just tht it feels good tht there are people who take time out to read my ramblings….
It feels even better when you dont have high expectations….When you are on the wrong side of Murphy,you dont have high expectations(read here what Murphy thinks about me…)
I started this blog on Jan 19…..its been 3 months ….90 days….1000 hits….You do the math…
Thanks for being there guys! Keep reading….
Will miss you SP… 2007-04-14 20:00:47 When the farewell got over,I felt a void&hellip
;as if a part of me was missing…a sense of loss…still there was a sense of satisfaction….a sense of achievement…There was a time when I wanted to quit…now here I was….almost engineer!
There were times when I thought I had made a mistake getting admission here…I always felt like I was a misfit…Did I belong here?…Why people look forward to college??…Why do I have to change 2 trains to reach to college…?? Why even at 95% I didnt get into VJTI…?Why am I so drained out when I reach home?…Why is the local always crowded??
But yesterday all these questions did not plague me…I had different set of questions…Is it over already?? Why is it over?? It wasnt tht bad,was it??
All these feelings for my college??or were these feelings for my classmates??Was I going to miss my Profs…?
All this coming from a guy who rarely attended college…
Phirse DHOOM!! 2007-04-30 16:54:07 This incident occured today
What happened is tht we were a little(3 days) late for the Submissions of RAC file…
Were you sleeping all these days? asked our Ma’am
Somehow these profs know what i have been upto!
This lady is actually very sweet(yeah thts right…its not a printing mistake..some profs can be sweet)…The sweetness finally got the better of her and she signed our Journals(albeit reluctantly)
My partner in crime here was Umesh Koli…

In other words….you are gonna get more crap than you ordered for!!
Top 5-Sexiest Cricketers 2007-05-03 09:41:50 Read in the papers today tht Slinga Malinga has got the coveted(?) award of being the sexiest cricketer…
What? What about Murali? Those eyes speak a thousand words…more so when they pop out when he is bowling
What about Dwayne Leverock?…size mattered the last time I checked…
And what about our own doodh-loving mama’s boy - Sehwag? So what if his hairline is receding faster than his popularity…
Well I thought if these guys in the media can do some tp(timepass,kitne baar batana padega?),so can I…
Here is my tp..er..list of Top 5 sexiest cricketers…
1.Sourav Ganguly: Has to be him…I might be a little partial here since he is my fav…But if u have any doubts about he being sexy #1 ,check him swinging his shirt in the Lord’s balcony…lol
Sexy here would be his persona,his attitude,his leadership skills…The last time we looked like world-beaters was when he was the captain…

‘Hair’ I go again! 2007-05-04 18:55:48 I was reading some blogs yesterday,when I came across this line…”I want the money…I want to achieve financial freedom…I want to feel the wind in my hair…” …something like tht…
All of us want money and are willing to work hard for it…There’s only one problem,by the time most of us achieve financial freedom, we reach tht age where we are left with no hair…There is wind but you aint got any hair…
Talking about hair,had a conversation with Suril,Hiren and Avinash…Avinash was sharing his experience about some ayurvedic oil which helped him reduce his hairfall…I found it odd tht so many guys were interested to know about this wonder drug(me included)…All of us belonged to the same club…All of us had hair problems…
I dont know about other courses,but engg. leads to rapid hairloss(I got exihibits to prove my case)…There are so many friends(most of them engineers) who are Read more:lsquo
A F1 driver… 2007-05-07 15:25:28
Let me tell you a story&hellip
;It wont make sense at first,but pay attention and you will get what I wanna convey…
This is a story of a F1 driver,a F3 driver actually who got promoted to F1 coz of his amazing driving skills at the F3 level…lets call him-Armez Rosso…He drives a ..lets say Mcfaren…
This story is about the race of his life…To see if he wins it…read on…
About this race…This race has 32 laps(you could choose any multiple of 8)…
He doesnt get the pole…hes a good driver but cant compare him with the drivers at F1
Alright,the lights turn green…the race starts…he is currently placed behind all the good drivers…They are seasoned drivers,hes just a novice…”Not fair”,he says to himself…
4 laps pass,Armez manages to steer himself past some of the “seasoned” drivers…He finds a driver who probably has the same sensibilities as him…They ride t

Top 5-Profs I was afraid of! 2007-05-15 18:11:34 As most of you know,my PL is on…PL means Preparatory leave…(kitne bar bataoon yaar?)…Since I dont “prepare” tht much in the leave, I spend most of the time thinking about the economic policies implemented by the planning commission and the allocation to education and health services by the Ministry of coal… er…well actually, I spend my time thinking what my mom’s gonna make for dinner!
So, in one of my day-dreaming spells, I was wondering- who have been the profs I was really afraid
of…
1.Prof Rane:Was the most afraid of him…Now he more like a friend…a friend who keeps us entertained by his views on life,college and Suril…
2.Prof Raul:Still afraid of him…And will always be…That is one reason why I didnt attend his lectures …Also I guess he is the Prof. who choose to teach the worst subjects…Machine Drawing,Mechanical Vibrations,FEA etc…Btw, Raul sir is Rahul Bhat&rsquo
Nokia N95 2007-05-15 10:05:15 There’s a thing in my pocket….but its not one thing….Its MANY!
Is this what Computers have become?
Its an amazing ad, isnt it?
Instead of spending on “brand ambassors” like Abhishek and Hrithik companies should think of spending on quality advertisements..
I dont remember the ads “The Thump is here”(sony Ericcson) or Motorolla’s campaign for Motorockr having such an impact on me…

How to set a Mumbai university paper 2007-05-23 00:43:04
Ever wondered how these profs set the question paper
s? well this is how-
Prof 1:There is no fun in our life!
Prof 2:(disinterested) ya!
Prof 1:Can we do something to make it interesting?
Prof 2:(disinterested)Nope
Prof 1:yes we can! What do you say we set a really difficult paper for sem 8 students? Isnt tht FUN?!! I know…we can set the complete paper out of syllabus
Prof 3 overhears the conversation
Prof 3: You know,setting questions out of the syllabus is not allowed in mumbai university
Prof 1:Who cares??
Prof 3:If you set such a paper you will be thrown out of the University
Prof 1: er..on second thought…maybe tht is not so much fun…I know…we can set questions which are least expected by the student fraternity…Or maybe we will twist the easy questions in such a way tht they become unsolveable…or/and we could have some critical data missing in the problem so tht students waste time racking their brains…are you with me Prof 2?

IIT JEE - Mumbai tops! 2007-05-31 13:24:52
The results are out! Out of the 2.51 lakh students who appeared for the exam 7000+ have qualified. Achin Bansal, from Punjab has topped the exam.
But this post is not about who topped the exam,you will find thousands of posts on tht topic.This post is an analysis of the exam….its actually an analysis of the performance of Mumbai
students.
All my life I have heard stories about how my cousins studing in ICSE or CBSE had access to better education.I have read umpteen articles on why the state HSC is no good.
I have heard aunties discuss how brilliant their CBSE and ICSE educated children were and how much better were these boards than the Maharashtra State board.Maybe ICSE and CBSE are better or maybe they are not.The world will always remain divided on these issues.But I found it weird tht the argument tht they put forward to support their statement was tht students from Maharashtra dont make it to the IITs and this is because of the lousy education std of Maharashtra.
Censorship??? 2007-06-05 12:28:53 We saw S@L (Shootout at Lokhandwala, pls excuse the engg. lingo!)
The censorship in India is funny… Take for instance this movie we saw….. By now everyone who was born after 1975(Sholay A.D.) should know tht there is a song in the movie which goes- “We are the bhais….we are the bhais!!”
I know this song byheart(amazing isnt it? I can never byheart answers, but songs-they are on the tip of my tongue!). How did I byheart the song? I didnt ! It plays so many times on Radio Mirchi tht it just stuck!There are some words used in the song which most people would find objectionable-for eg-
“Bhai hoon main bhai koi fikar na kar, uske maa ki uske bhen ki jo dekhe idhar!”
Now this is objectionable. Censor this if you want. But no…this song plays on every radio station in its full glory.
Here is the interesting bit- When the song was played in the movie the lyrics were changed to-
“Bhai hoon main bhai koi fikar na kar, uski aise uski taise Read more:Censorship
The last day of Engg. 2007-06-05 12:09:15 Its 11:30 in the night. I have an exam tomorrow. Its the last exam of my engg. life…
I have been studying for nearly 10 hrs daily for the last 20 days. Guess you have to pay a price for not preparing right from the start of the Sem. All those budding enggs, take note.
You will be reading the posts of a full-fledged Engineer from tomorrow onwards….
signed… Almost Engineer!
Update:Due to a power cut last night I was not able to publish this post…I wanna swear,but I guess I am in too good a mood to do tht. Exams got over today. Engineering is over……….
Those were the days 2007-06-07 12:36:51 I met my Bandodkar* friends today - Rohit gadre, Omkar Godbole, Chetanya Athale. There is something really cool about our friendship! Cant put my finger on it, but I always feel so refreshed when I meet them!
Let me describe this crazy bunch-
Rohit Gadre: One of my best friends. Amazingly witty…He can make you laugh even while you are cutting an Onion….well…er..bad example..really really bad example. What I mean is - tht he is damn funny! He is well informed on almost every subject and can comment on any topic under the sky.He is so candid about everything tht u cant help laughing. Hes extremely shy and takes ages to open up to you(hes like me in this respect). Does not believe in over exerting(so unlike me). If he wants it, he believes he will get it! The best part is tht he lets me win any two player games we play - and acts like he lost coz I was too good for him…I enjoy it nevertheless

My Family deserved a Holiday but for the lack of casual leave, we had to go with a sasta and tikaao option. I like the Sun n Sand (no, not the hotel, cant afford it).I mean I like beaches…The beaches we considered were Alibaug, Mandwa, Kihim and Murud.
We had been to Alibaug once…While Mandwa and Kihim were booked…Infact, every time I called a hotel in one of these beaches to check for booking they gave me a - dont you know we are always full on weekends - snarl!
Speaking in Konkani did not help…As it turned out most of the Hotels were owned by Southies. Btw, I dont know Konkani per se…But speaking Konkani is damn easy, just replace “ra” in marathi by “la” and you ll be just fine.
I got fedup of calling
SONY like.no.other 2007-06-19 03:30:43
I bought a 29 inch Sony Wega last week…Its a small step for any other man but its a giant leap for Arshat! You see, I was using Onida (21 inches, 1990 model) to keep my visual cortex busy. But the only “colour” tht my Onida showed was Green!! Btw, whats with Onida? I mean showing people throwing their TVs out of the balcony?? Wht happened to good old conventional advertising? According to Onida, the marketing campaign worked for them(thanks to ppl like me).
As a kid I wanted to see my neighbours turn green…However as time passed, the only thing tht turned green was my TV screen…
After 17 yrs of a loving relationship, which recently had turned sour(or shud I say - Green ;)) , I filed for divorce.
Size mattered the last time I checked, so I went for 29 inches. It was a toss betn LG and Sony, family members wanted a Sony…So, Sony it was…

Some girls just get better! 2007-06-23 13:18:55 Before you read the following post, read this post - Top 5
I was watching TV (what else do you expect me to do? Its raining outside and I am not much of a football fan.)
So, while I was watching TV, I came across this new show…er…actually its an old show - Who’s the Boss? Yeah the one with Tony Danza. Tony works as a housekeeper for Angela. Tony’s daughter Samantha(the girl with flashy smile in th b/w pic) stays with him.
Now its very rare tht I shud like a girl so much and tht too in 2-D…I had only liked Jodie sweetin(Full House)
as much as I liked Samantha…
Samantha seemed very familiar. This was inspite of the fact tht I was watching this sitcom for the first time!I had seen her before….But where? Internet to the rescue! I found Samantha’s real name was…..Alyssa Milano!
As you might have read in the Top 5 post link I had given at the start of this post, she is on the top of my list!!

-Scrubs
(title track)
Scrubs
I have been watching a lot of TV lately (I got nothing else to do!).I have a lot of favourite shows, but the one I insist you watch is SCRUBS.
Scrubs is a sitcom about Doctors.Now, dont imagine ER…Its not about patients, its about doctors. Actually its about the life of interns(the word’s derived from internship, duh?!). Its also about how their guides(PG docs) and the Dean treat them like shit. Its a journey through the eyes of JD, who is an intern at Sacred Heart hospital(the name of the hospital in scrubs). The treatment of the topic is exactly what makes it so lovable..
I maybe an engineer(Well, almost engineer …since the results arent out yet.) but as most engineers would agree, our lives are shit too! Maybe we earn more(st
