Arvind : abe night 9 ki clan with *********
Roti : k ( cool customer)
Arvind : mama nite 9 ki match clan
Giri : bhak bhosdi… mujhe bahut mugna hain.. exams hian (unwanted and unnecessary usage of hindi is giri’s speciality)
Arvind : moosukoni aadu be…
Arvind : are mama night 9 ki match anta with ******
Pa1 : readiccchhhhhh (this guy is eveready)
Arvind : abe night match with ********
Kitti : ok mama kummeddam (push the tempo, push the tempo, eh? )
And so it started….
PE aka PRODIGY’s ENVY
It took 3 years for us to decide about putting up a clan though we played regularly in pubs during those years. I don’t even remember how the idea struck us. I guess our first meeting was directly in a clan match with some team. We never ever sat and made plans of forming a clan. But what followed was simply awesome.
The following is the way I feel for my fellow clannies
Roti: He comes up with these weird names and then blasts off with his colt. Arguably, one of the best colters in pubs, he controls B site in d2 and banana site in infy. Amazing with his spray and awesome with his team play, this guy is a treat to watch when hez in full flow. He is my personal favorite in the clan. Has lots of fundae but never shares them.
Giri: desperation brings out the best in him. I remember once when we were on a loosing streak in a clan match, he did eco for 3 rounds, brought an awp and hit an ace!! Just because he was afraid if he dies all the money spent on awp after those ecos will go in vain!! Excellent with ak, recently, he has developed this knack of killing teammates. Excellent with ak. I still remember whenever he performs badly in clan, he gets very frust with himself and goes and practices in pub for hours after the clan match.For me, somehow my clan game feels uncomplete without having a go at him during the game :P
Pavan: For the beginners, this guy is a promoter of www.bhookh.com in the pubs. Philanthropist, eh? He used to come up with these weird fundae which noone ever understood. Was the cry baby of the clan once upon a time. Whenever we perform badly, he was very angry and used to leave the match in middle. But then suddenly, he has changed. He has become a huha camper and developed immense patience. See, CS can change people
Kitti: aka gaandmaru (this name has been banned in KCL cyber league, due to it’s offensive meaning :P ). You sit somewhere and camp, waiting for the enemy – and then all of a sudden a grenade comes and falls right on top of you. It’s only after you die, that you realise that it was your teammate gaandmaru who throwed the nade. He became famous with his team kills and then we became frust. But then he developed into an excellent aker. I still remember the day when he was alone against 4 enemies and killed all of them and won us the round :O. Yo kitti !! way to go !! This guy was our good luck charm
JB: uff bubble!! He cashed in on kitti’s absence and somehow got into the team using giri’s reco. Frankly, he never gelled with the team. May be we needed more time. Well, he was at one level and we were at another and he expected us to reach his level. Way too much to expect, dude. His stint with the clan was very short but yah we enjoyed it.
Somehow, I feel bad leaving these guys behind, leaving CS and leaving kgp. Thanks to you guys for making my CS life more memorable and saving me from the eternal frustness of kgp life. And yah, hail kgp CS !!

Lifez good.
CAT results were out two days back and I am finally relieved. Got calls from bangy n lucknow.
When I first saw the result of overall 99.61 %ile i was happy but then when I saw verbal 86.22 %ile I was shocked and lost hopes of receiving any call. So, I didn't dare to check what calls I received upto 4 hours after the results were declared. And when I finally saw them, omg !! bangy !! wow, and yah lucknow too :). True, I expected more calls but after the way I screwed up vocab and those four hours of despair, it feels great and good. May be you need to feel the despair, to appreciate joy. It isn't over yet though.
Whatever happens finally, irrespective of whether I will get into a B-school or not, CAT preparation taught me something I forgot four year back after coming to kgp. Hardwork always pays off. And you always get what you deserve. Not a penny less not a penny more. And above all, it brought back my confidence in myself :).

Is it? (or not)
Couple of days back, my friend asked me "Suppose you are driving on your way to an important meeting that can fetch you million dollar profit contract. You are driving very fast and suddenly an old woman comes infront of the car. You can't put the breaks and hit her. She starts bleeding heavily. The road is completely isolated and there is no witness to the accident and there is no-one to help. What will you do? Will you go ahead with your journey or will you join her in a hospital? Remember, you run the risk of losing the contract if you don't reach there on time."
I replied immediately "I will just go on with my journey as there is no witness to the accident." My friend is shocked and she asks me if I was sure. I say yes and then I ask her what would she do if she were in such a situation. She replies "well, I will first think of what will happen if my family were in such a situation." And that's when it dawned upon me. I am a terrible, terrible person with no sentiments. I am evil. or wait a second, am I??
I will never ever understand whether human relations are an asset or a liability.

My journey, My struggle.....
Sometimes, in life, you feel you are being gripped by disappointment and sadness and there's nothing you can do. The last one week was one such phase in my life. I faced rejection from every company, I was looked down in every interview and I came out of interview room every time with a good feeling and ended up with an odd feeling once the final results were out.
This post will just be a recollection of my experiences and my opinions. People are free to interpret them in whatever way they want. Just remember that , all the things in this post are my own opinions and may seem weird or offensive to some people. But then, after all the struggle I have been through, I don't give a damn.
To start with, I didn't apply for Schlums (thinking it's too much of field work) and Fair Isaac (thinking it's job profile is hardcore coding). No repents on that, but I knew where I wanted to be. I wanted to be in a finance-related job. I wanted to be an analyst, rather than a coder or a ghaasi or a field person. So, starting with Day zero, here it goes:
Day zero:
1. Deutsche Bank:
The shortlist for interviews was based on purely written test basis and later during my first interview I was told that I am among the toppers in the test :). That was cool. My first interview went extra-ordinarily well. I was sure of getting into second round and so I did. First round was nothing but finance related questions like 'What will you do (buy/sell) a commodity when currency weakens' and 'probability questions' and a few 'general questions'. I was called for a second round of interview and the first question asked to me was 'Don't you think, your's is a very different department. I don't see you fitting into my company !!' . Well, I was expecting that question but not so early.. phew !! Anyways, I explained to them that none of the departments in kgp has got much to do with finance or i-banking and even a electrical dep guy has only elec knowledge but not finance. So, my dep might not make much of a difference. They started asking questions on finance, relatively easier ones, and some general fundae like where did bse end on that day, what's the price of oil barrel, what is the latest global news, and a little bit about sub-prime crisis and how it effected Indian market. I gave them satisfactory answers and after nearly half an hour, I was asked to wait outside as I might have to face a third round interview. But then, that was never going to be the case. I didn't make the final cut :( . Missing on Deutsche Bank was one thing, I will regret the most during coming times. So near, yet so far away.
2. Capital one:
Initially, only 18 ppl were shortlisted. But then, an additional of 25 ppl were added and I was among them. As soon as I entered the room and saw the look on the face of my interviewer, I knew I wasn't going to make it. And so, it turned out to be. None among the 25 additional shortlisted students were selected and they just made a mockery of us. And yah, the less I talk about this interview, the better.
Day One:
3. ZS associates:
Din't make it through the written test. Actually, it was the worst written test I ever gave. So no regrets. My fault.
4. Inductis:
Only 15 people were shortlisted from written test and I was among them. There were two rounds of interview. The first one was decent. The interviewer had a huha loaded look on his face. But I anwered the puzzles he asked perfectly and he was satisfied. He then asked me to sell a product which I think I screwed up badly. He then asked me a few HR questions and whether I gave CAT or not and noted my score. After sometime, I entered another room for my second round interview. The interviewer was a IIT kgp and IIM A alumni. He was uber-cool and interview was more of fun than anything else. He gave me a case-study and when I solved it, he was extremely satisfied. We had some chit-chat and then after 25 minutes the interview was over. But then the worst was yet to come. As we came out of interivew room together, I made a blunder. I asked him if it's advisable to join MBA right away or after a break of two years. He knew instantly that I was scoring well in CAT. I knew I was jeorpardizing my chances by asking him that question, but I just couldn't control. :(
Day Two:
Completely free
Day Three:
5. Pangea:
None of the agricultural and food engineering students and some other department students were shortlisted in the initial list, but thanks to Savi a good junk of ghaasi students were added to the list later. So, we went in the morning to give the online test (nothing but verbal skills) and all ghaasi students were shortlisted for GD round !!. Our group consisted of only ghaasi students and we were asked to explain our projects and cross-question each other during GD !! Well, my GD went decent but not great. Finally, 3 of us got shortlisted and luckily I was among them. Shailendr, Bhawani and myself. We were told that Pangea acually requires food technology students and they are sure to take atleast one from the three. We had a telephonic interview with the people in P3 mumbai office. The interview was nothing but hardcore technical funda. My interview was below average I would say. At the end of interview, I asked the person who interviewed me if we really need such huha technical funda as P3 was an LPO. She said we would need them during the job and told me that I had good enough technical knowledge :D. But then when the results were out, the page was blank. None of the food technology students made it through. What a load of crap. After telling that they specially need people from our dep and putting us through mental torture all day long, they wouldn't take even a single student !!
Day Four:
6. Deloitte:
The written test went well and I was called for the interview. Just a few minutes before interview, we came to know that the job profile was Technology analyst (only coding :( ) and not business analyst, as told during the ppt. It was kinda shock and as soon as entered the interview room, I immediately told them I knew nothing and have nothing to do with OOPS or JAVA or any other language for that matter. The interviewer tried to ask me if I was interested in the job. I told them, I was interested in the company but am apprehensive about the job profile. So, the story ended there.
7. i-runway:
One company I really really wanted to join. A start-up company and every damn employee is an IITian. Where else would you want to be? As usual, made it through the written test easily. But again in the interview, the same statement. 'I don't see you fitting anywhere in our company'. He then asked me two puzzles which I solved peacefully, but by that time, I was sure I was not going to make it (thanx to my department). Another one down the drain. !!
Day Five:
8. Adventity:
This company had the biggest shock of my life in store for me. I did very well in written test and couldn't make it through. When I went and asked them, they said they might have missed my paper, but weren't willing to go back and check. 'Screw you' I thought. The HR guy even advised me to apply offcampus for their company. 'Screw you' again I thought.
Day Six:
Completely free.
Day Seven.
9. Futures First:
The last financial company visiting the campus in phase 1 and I surely din't want to sit for IT companies :(. After two written tests, the first one 6 minutes - 40 calculations and the second one 30 minutes - 40 analytical questions, I made it to the interviews. The first round of interview was stress interview. They kept on bombarding questions on me from all quarters for nearly half an hour. 'Are you an optimist', 'Are you a pessimist' , 'Will you take risks' 'Are ambitious' 'what motivates you' 'how much does money matter to you' 'will you cheat on your friends for profits' 'will you cheat you organization for personal profits' and then a few puzzles and few quant questions. Three people - qsn after qsn, qsn after qsn - uff !! Thankfully, I made it to the final round of interview. That was more of HR interview, 'why FF', 'why finance', 'why not agri !!' (what the hell are you talking man !! agriii !! ), 'what do u know about organization' etc etc. When it ended, I came out of the room, confidently and hopefully. The results were out after 2 hours and yah, finally.. .finally I made it. After one week and on day zero of week 2, I made it :D.
No need to wear formals anymore. No need to face rejections anymore.
When I look back now, I regret about two companies. Deutsche and i-runway. But then, I am here now. It was hell of an experience. Not a great one while I was experiencing but seems a memorable one when I look at it now. Because sometimes, journey is sweeter than destination.
But then I am happy. I am happy I will be working in a finance-related job. I have really wanted to be in a finance-related job. "When you really want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it". :)
I have reached there. I don't know whether it's the same promised land. I don't know whether I will be able to survive there. But then, I don't care. The struggle has finally ended.

The best, the good and the ugly
Here are my reviews for the three movies I watched this week:
Chak De India: Let's start with the latest one. Chak de - simply all-round winner. No romatic scenes, no love songs, no skin shows and no mummy-beta sentiments. But chak de will get you excited more than any other movie. Should I say, after lagaan, this is the most successful movie made in bollywood based on sport? The thing is for chak de everything fits in fittingly well. The true actor in SRK who comes out occassionally in movies like swades, devdas was in full flow in this one. He was simply tremendous and the fact that he made people think therez lot more in movie other than SRK shows out how good he had been in the movie. He never took the centerstage and let the story talk for itself.
The other fact that's heartening is that unlike lagaan in which the sport was cricket, undoubtedly the most popular in our country hands down, the sport in chak de is hockey, which seriously needs some redemption to survive let alone reach glory. By far, one of the best movies bollywood has ever produced, chak de will just glue you to your seats for 2 hours. Hats off to Shimit Aman and Jaideep Sahni for such an excellent movie. And the background score simply elevates the grandness of movie.
Finally, if I were to rate chak de on a scale on 10, I would give it 20. Yes. It's wonderful. It's marvellous. It's Chak de India.
Pyaar ke side effects: A comeddy film with a sensible and emotional touch. A real near-life portrayal of urban relations, PKSE brings out the best in Rahul Bose and something good out of Mallika Sherawat. It's all about love, marriage and commitment. And it's fun all the way. The only problem with the movie is it suddenly jumps towards a serious note occassionally. It vacillates between fun and serious drama, but finally you will enjoy the movie. Worth sitting 2 hours, though not much of a should-not-miss movie. A light-hearted one.
Just sit back and enjoy.
The last legion: The lesser you talk about this, the better. I started this movie and after 15 minutes, I continued watching it waiting for the end. Disaster from start to the end. It's about the sword of king Arthur - I mean how can someone mess us such a heavily exciting mythological concept. The first step towards the movie being a flop was Aishwarya Rai. Let's talk about her a bit here. She simply gives those oh-i-am-so-innocent and oh-i-love-you-truly looks which irritate me a lot. What we expext is some action and she turns her role into a warrior girl who falls in love (well, that might be the script but she could have surely done lots better). She ought to know that hollywood is different from bollywood and it takes more than beauty and exposing to be noticed in hollywood. Even the other actors' performaces were not upto mark and the film turns out to be a boring and unattractive attempt. On the whole, I would give it a 3/10.
On the whole, the week was a mixture of movies ranging from the best to the worst.

One fine morning....
It was Monday morning, the most damned for a kgpian. After all u enjoy ur weekend ( in my case Friday also comes under weekend as I have no classes that day) and then suddenly you have to rush to 7 30 class on Monday morning. I slept at 3 in the morning, with an alarm set to go at 7 and also two of my wingies meant to wake me up for the class [:D].
Now, I don't even remember my alarm ringing and me switching it off, but this wingie of mine wakes me up at 7 20 !! I wake up to find it raining heavily. Suddenly, I remember that I don't have an umbrella and my cycle was punctured the day before for parking in no-parking zone [:P]. Well, heavy rain, no umbrella and cycle - what more omens can destiny provide me as a warning not to attend the class. But then, I chose against it, move my ass out of the bed and get ready for class. It's already 7 45. I beg an umbrella from another wingie and leave for the class. And yeah, I didn't miss the breakfast in mess.
So, I started my long walk to the department at 8'o clock for a 7 30 class !! I walked for 5 minutes and have reached the half-way mark when all of a sudden, the umbrella shattered and I am completely drenched. But the worst was yet to come. I still kept walking and am just 2 minutes away from the department when my slippers suddenly tore apart [:(]. I was all confused and didn't know what to do. I couldn't even move with my slippers on and for obvious reasons, I couldn't walk with them off. So, I immediately got onto a rickshaw and returned back to my hostel. CLASS BUNKED. When I think of it now, I still don't understand why I have never even thought of going to the department in the same rickshaw. Completely messed up !!
P.S: The irony of life: After all this hassle, I return back to my room and just then I receive a text message on my mobile from a friend wishing good morning and saying "Have a great day ahead"
