A New girl in a New city
A New girl in a New city
central idea...and many sub plots.All the sub plots shud blend into the main story.
A nice new name for my sop. That is exactly what I want it to be, because that is exactly what i am.
Adjectives. A new brush dipped in a new pot of paint and voila a new shade of color. A forever new face in the crowd. I am never old.I am never past. I am forever new. Reinvented and Rediscovered with every new experience in my life, with every opportunity that comes my way.
This is my story. Where it all began and where it would lead too!
I want to improve tourism in India. ( all over the world is the aim, india would be the dream)(need list of places .. ajanta ellora, golconda , south india , NE and MP for starters)
I hate a lot of hard work but prefer it to playing dumb charades. Also do not classify trekking or mountain climbing or running as hard work. But I am too lazy to gym. Though gym definitely helps to deal with problem managers,boyfriends or their mothers!
I love music. It helps me think. Classical Bollywood and Indian Fusion would come at the top of the heap. I call it a heap because most of it is random choice! AR rehman, Laxmikant Pyarelal , Kishore Kumar, Rahat Fateh Ali khan, Kailash Khershankar mahadevan feed my creative instincts anytime any day.
My idea of a perfect existence would be to live the life of a gypsy.With every different place its almost like a clean slate.The novel feeling of starting all over again. Like Reliving Life.
I would miss years in Blore probably more than any other phase in life. When I really lived my life for the first time, became me.This was a city of firsts for me,my first jobs, first flings, first loves, first drinks, first kiss. first salary, first rent paid, .....This is the city of my reinvention. Here is where I learnt it all, to work at playing life harder!
I have done the following in Software : content management, CMMi SQA, Supply chain and B2B. What did i like most? Connecting with people to make a better product, a better team and a better company! Be it while testing software, writing code, organizing events, being a part of employee initiative programs, drawing up fish bone diagrams,or a best practise presentation.
How you interact with people and how it adds up to be a better team.The power of innovation and research leading to meaningful solutions rather than just engineering solutions. In Software testing we speak about Validation and Verification.Not only is it important to know whether the product has been built in the right way , it is important to analyse if the right product was built.
More than technology you should be able to package and sell the product you made!
Working in a close engineering environment is easy. It taught me the definitions of the basic skills needed to survive in a business envt. More so the meaning of working closely as team. However ,Facing open challenges in the market,without strict definitions of the do's and dont's is where leadership and networking skills can be really tested. The MBA experience is exactly the platform where I would be able to leverage and hone these skills.
Consulting is another area which strikes a cord between engineering and management. Providing customised solutions to clients prevents us from promising the earth to our clients without knowing an iota about product development.
MultiCultural envt. MultiCultural Mangement Skills and Leadership competency to be able to live out of a suitcase or learn to make people shop till they drop. I have an eye for retail! :P
Gaining a deeper understanding of world cultures lets us leverage our diversities if we find a common ground to perform. A global school gives you that common ground.
By utilizing skills I have learnt in the software industry and integrating it with the immense learning a B school can provide, I could take up newer challenges.
an individual who aspires to be much more than who i am today becuase of the tools that I use in my daily life which have been imbibed into me from my daily life ! which i want to change ! i know my passions and i feel a gap somewhere which can be filled by perhaps an opportunity which would enable to realize my dreams and strive to find ways to fulfil them..But in a real world....this knowledge is not available in textbooks but being in company of like minded people where the freedom to think and express myself would be appreciated and not in lines of code would make me want to join a Biz School
connect feelings and words.
Connecting tourism , NGO type child welfare, and stuff
say its ur dream to always travel and share memories and wish if you share it with millions.being in a position to think and work towards this would accomplish my bachpan ka sapna
Be RAdical!
Uncanny ability of describing people and places.
colors.
paintings.
museums.
dancing.
travelling
trekking
waterfalls.
seas
oceans
fogs
romantic comedies
epics

How I need to Stop Worrying and Start Living..
So..
I really need to Stop worrying and start Living. Living my goal to do an MBA.
I dont need any more reasons. I just need to give the reasons a firmer plaster of paris mould.
Bare facts:
I am an excellent orator. I should be able to speak my way into an mba.
I listen and therefore I am. I should be able to hear my way into an mba
I think to be or not to be. I could stop thinking and start doing an mba.
Did you know it is "an" Mba and "A" MAsters of Business Administration.
I need to find out better/ more expressive words for people's person.friendly.networking skills.relationship oriented person. My Biggest USP is my instant spark with people of all age groups. I have an uncanny ability to connect. Isnt an Mba about that. Co-operation.Teamwork. Collaboration and Connectivity. ( Need to find a good quote to go with this)
My biggest strength. HUmor. The ability to laugh at my problems.trials and tribulations. Mind it, this necessarily does not mean that I laugh my problems away. or Blow them away in smoke. Or take them lightly( Gawd ! My biggest weakness is definitely "self defense") The humor helps. Like Readers Digest says it of course Laughter is the best medicine and Life is the biggest comedy. You might be aware that to write a funny story is a tougher job than writing a tragedy(..which brings me to my second biggest weakness. Rambling away and disjointed thoughts)At school after initially shedding copiuos tears at my first failure at Chemistry I realized the irony of not being able to master an item as small as an atom or as basic as a mole. Thats it. My conquerer could be vanquished I topped Chemistry in the subsequent exams.
In my final higher sec exams I realized that Mathematics is a bull which needs to be caught by its horns. From small victories to bigger battles humor has always kept me riding high in the saddle. While one solves Lifes Problems , one must never forget to see the lighter side of them!
Third Biggest Strength. Belief. Life is a fight And I do not give up. One of my biggest achievements was when I did a 15 day Internship at Bokaro Steel Plant and managed to be one of the very few women candidates to be taken all around the shop floor. My supervisor though terribly reluctant at first was very impressed with my persistence and took me to see the nooks and crannies of the plant where the fire belows and smoke looks red. In the 2 km stretch of the Rolling Steel Division I was the only girl standing over a bridge where red hot steel flowed incessantly. Its a supremely humbling experience.
Since then I have been faced with Bigger dragons. If you trust yourself to fight them, No battle would be ever lost!
While my team interned at Ln T Electronics for our final year project. We started out with our HOD and supervising professors telling us that our idea of Signal Processing Weak Ultra Sound Signals was far fetched and would not work. As the leader of my three member team, I decided that though ignorance is bliss, knowledge is indeed power. Right from researching our project well from every angle we could think off to finally presenting our ideas in a presentation the dept. couldn't ignore. Leaving no stone unturned is the only way you could build up your case.
I suck at SOP writing.
But I just want to say this. I want to do an MBA to broaden my horizon. In More Ways than One. And Better Now than Never!
I still couldn't find something I really believed in. I spoke to Kbed today asking him to move me into Platform AFC. I sketched a vision today, somebody else's! I realised I hate being single. But I couldnt write my story. Whats my story! :)
Okay. I want to start my Soup with a Story. About What. Friendships.Leaderships. which Ship???!!

Keys!
Stolen from Swetha V's orkut profile. While I am still young (nearly) I wanna set this on my grave! :)
My will shall shape my Future...
Whether I Fail or Succeed shall be no man's doing but my own.
I am the Force
I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze.
My Choice, My Responsibility.... Win or Lose.....
Only I hold the key to my Destiny...
My will shall shape my Future...

Life is a fight, No One gives up!
So..
Never get too busy making a living that you forget to make a life
To whomsoever this post concerns. To the Box which is unable to contain , to the curls which have straightened, to the mouth which refuses to shut, to the eyes which refuse to sleep, to the face of the fresher,to the last and final MBA list, to the room which always stays clean, to the new found banker, to the BTM Dosa Idli shop and to the spirit which just discovered..
To the indomitable spirit of people I see everyday and to those whom I might not see ever again!
Cheers to here and now and how!
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
PS: I love word puzzles! and Bon Jovi!

Aaargh!
While it is in the room I cant bear to look. While it is not, not having seen becomes unbearable. Paradoxical, Ironical and so heart rending! Man.. I feel like I could write pages of poetry. Sigh ..I wish I would instead write my SO(u)P!

Darkest, Deepest and Meanest Secrets!
So..
A few days back I narrated ( yeah narrated!) my deepest, darkest and meanest secrets to D. D reacted with awe ( I think so!) bordering on new found respect and declared that I was one of the one most spunkiest people D knew! And immediately compared me to a friend who wanted to become a waiter at coffee day. D says the spirit of adventure is the joy of life! I agreed on all fronts (spared a thought for the waiter though!);)
However the momentary delight I felt vanished pretty soon and I was back to debating the eternal conflict between good and bad within me! Happiness like these are short lived .. almost as effervescent as champagne bubbles! D said that I covered my "unconventionalism" in convention.. But I feel that isn't true.
Over the years I have had many reasons and opportunities to be unconventional and I have wholeheartedly lived up to them. And I know the future would give me more chances to do "same" things "differently"!
The deep, dark and mean moments years back , I still regret.. I wonder wouldn't it have been easier/better to be good rather than wicked, to be transparent rather than opaque , to be compassionate than unpleasant. And whichever way I have debated this I have always wanted to revisit and do things differently ..Maybe ..just Maybe there is one way of doing somethings ..The right way! :) Or as D always puts it the way which keeps your conscious "clean"!
The deep, however has a teeny weeny justification. They stand for my deepest fantasies. You know the devil in me has its uses sometimes!
Though D says that I am forthright enough to come clean with my skeletons,discussing all this has always made me uncomfortable! After all how much can a young head carry. But now that am wiser, sharper and surer! I would rather be newer than older! To face your devils is much easier than letting them wreck havoc in your head.
I want to be the heroine of my stories rather than the Vamp. I say "is that asking for too much" D says " Yes indeed" ;)
So Long: While I get my whiskers trimmed, polish my spear and sharpen my horns!!

PS: Pic with the santa cap is the closest I could find to an Angels Halo! The red however makes it look more like a Devil's crown..sigh!
