26th February 2014, a day worth waiting for, a day when TBLA result was announced. At 4:45 pm I got a call from Varun Sir and what I got? " Sorry dude, Your team is not shortlisted for the TBLA next round". That line was simple to say, but it gave me a hard blow really. So it is important first to discuss what basically TBLA is and why not getting shortlisted for this has given me a such a state of gloominess wherein my expressions were all of a sudden talking like Mr. Charlie Chaplin :). TBLA is Tata Business Leadership Award and best description as given on its official page is: The Tata Business Leadership Awards, first introduced in 2002, provides a platform to the sharpest young minds from the elite business schools of the country and from within the Tata group to come together to address the business challenges relevant to the House of Tata. TBLA, over the years, has grown to be a coveted prestigious award . The ideology that governs TBLA is to invite the ...

I have great interest in reading books. I am not very much clear about my genre, but mostly I have read non-fictions. Today I started Aravind Adiga "THE WHITE TIGER" and done with the first night. I have really learnt a lot form my grandfather as he is having a very small library of his own. He is a great poet. Sometime I think it's genetic theory but my dad is not having a similar taste so it's sought of an interest I have wherein my grandfather has some participation.  But talking generally about reading novels or something different on regular basis is a source of great learning. I have decided to read minimum of 8 books in 2014 by December end and I have started my second book however first one is still 3/4th left :P. I have ordered SHIVA TRILOGY by Amish and most probably I will get my order by 24th February. White Tiger is in progress and SIKH HISTORY part 1 by Khushwant Singh is going slowly, I think I will be able to achieve my target for 2014.  ...

                                                    Sitting here in the comfort zone of my home with my new 2.1 F&D speakers I bought a few days back. It’s not a state less than euphoria :D The mother has already fed me up with a tonnage of her love through food. You know Punjabi mothers; food is their best medium to express love for their children especially when they are at home after 4 or 5 months ( KHA LA EK HOR FULKA, ENA PATLA HO GEA OTHE REH KE ). Even when I am 177 cms in height and I am 9 kgs overweight. Mothers are lovely . Last time I was at home in June and now in October end. Celebrated my birthday after 4 years at home with a big surprise party ( for us party is like buying 10 samosas for 6 members, Tea f...

                                                           People usually write dance as a hobby in their CV or they mention to others while some discussion.  But doing dance and feeling its beauty is not that easy to d escribe . I have l o ved that feeling when dance was all around me. I started participating in dance events in my school days. At School, I performed at least 6 times and I was the boy who hated games in school when all make excuses to get a free time for games or for havin g free game period. I never gave a serious thought to my dance skills as my coach mentions to me now. But I did realize the same in college. Thapar University ... a world of opportunities for us, stude...

                                                   On 14th July, I was waiting for a rickshaw around a street corner and after a few minutes, a rickshaw driver came somewhere from the dark. I stopped him and asked whether he would go to the metro station or not? He said, "20 rupees Babu Ji ".......From his voice, I came to know that he must be a child of age around 14 or 15. His name was Shankar. Later on, I found that he was native of U. P, but working in South Delhi and earning for his family as his father had died five years back. Whilst going to the metro station, I had a conversation with him, and a feeling of great fortune came to mind that how much lucky we guys are ! ! Tears were in my eyes, but somehow I managed mysel...
