Placement to Placement...Engineering to MBA... Final year at Delhi College of Engineering to Final Year at IMT Ghaziabad . The same time of the year, the same dreaded 'P' word. P for placements. The same feelings, the same fears and aspirations. Seems nothing has changed. There is an economic meltdown and C/C++ and Quant practice has been replaced by Sub prime fundas and marketing gyan , but still, the essence of the placement time is the same. In 06, TCS was the first company, followed by Infy and Aricent . In our quest to quickly get a job under our belt, a majority of the 550 strong batch had applied for TCS . A simple objective MCQ paper, not doing all questions right intentionally, as from what we had learnt TCS rejects you as being "over qualified" if you do all the questions. :-) So, we having done just the right amount of questions right,were overconfident that we would qualify for the next stage and be home for Rakhi which was on the very next day...

Friends.Forever. There are people, and there are people. There are friends, and there are friends. There are times, and there are times. Am glad i was there at the perfect time. A story of that special time... (Special thanks to Rashmi Priyadarshini for the video)

The story continued....in SS677's words... "So i pick up where sid has left off, what makes me even better candidate to continue is the fact that i was the one who was in the most conscious state of the three of us...first to correct sid lets make that 300ml of his something like 180ml-200ml....by god sid to 50ml lete hi tunn ho jata hai :D !! well getting back to the story i and 682 returned to hostel, with me having a swollen foot with the injury i had that morning, i hoped that whiskey will help (and help it did ;) ) after waiting for some 30 mins 679 made an entry, and i swear that was an entry to remember, i had never seen such a beautiful bottle nor such a sexy packing in which it came!! And here begun the night of frenzy and wild fun....three of us pegs after pegs and highs after highs....wild dances...crazy GCs...there were four of us 677 679 682 and signature and it was a night to remember...when our namkeen got finished we went out for a walk and each one of us tried...

The last day...Project, Some Special Moments and 300 ml of whiskey.... ...the story of my last working day in DCE and the last nite in the hostel... The time is 4 in the morning. Am still on the computer, reading those final few topics and copying those final few files onto my pen drive. All in preparation for our B-Tech project presentation, the next day. The D-Day, in fear of which we all had been living for the past few months. Yes, the day had come. But, despite all the talk of leaving college, the feeling of actually leaving college, the realization that all of might be together for the very last time, had still not come. That feeling come three days later, when after the project submission, even the formalities of no-dues from college were completed and the hostel room surrendered. But, thats another story. Coming back to the D-Day, here I was going to sleep at 4am waking up at 6am, getting ready and on the way to college by 7:30. I reached finally at DCE by 9:20, which was my ...

The Sound of glass...not just another college leaving post. Ask anyone of us in college, what are you doing these days?The answer would be the same. Same to the point of being, well boring. Well, I know we are all enjoying our last days in college. Yes, we are having the time of our lives. Yes the coming exams do not scare us one bit(that fear actually disappered a long time ago). Yes, we are all looking forward to the future. Yes, we will miss these days. Yes we will miss sitting in the canteen for hours talking pointlessly, like we do now. Yes, we will miss the fun in the hostel. Yes we will miss the night outs just before the exams. Yes will miss the sleeping in classes, copying assignments...the usual things. Yes we will miss these four years. Yes, we will miss all the friends we made here. Yes, we know these days would never come back again. The external happiness apparent in all of us, when you see us enjoying to our hearts outs, hides the pain, the pain of seperation, from coll...

Not just another college, not just another collage...

In da ZONE... Well, after writing The Unfinished Song , I have gone on to write the The Hazy Picture , which is in some ways my picture too, and which is also according to me is my best song ever. Both will be posted very very soon. I guess there are some stages in life, some moments which take your creativity to an entirely new level. Well one of them will be clearer after I post The Hazy Picture (pun intended) and the second is related to all of us...I mean for all of us enjoying our last days in college.I am sure everyone must be having mixed feelings of sadness n happiness.Sad because a very important part of our lifes would come to an end, sad also because we might not make better friends as we move on to our professional life or worse as Aaamir Khan said in DCH, "saal me ek baar toh kya, dus saal me ek baar bhi milna mushkil..." And happy because no college means an end to all those silly classes, practicals, exams , results etc etc. But who knows, we might miss these ...

The best days of my life...

college humor.period. a take on the famous lines from veer zaara. Main roll no. '679' DCE hostel ki salakhon se bahar dekhta hoon Din hafton mahine ko semesters main badalte dekhta hoon... Is mess se kisi saste dhabe ki khusbu aati hai... Ye hostel mujhe kise jail ki yaad dilati hai... Wo kahte hain ki ye college hai phir kyun ye mujhe school se badtar lagta hai... Wo kahte hain main unka student hoon phir kyun mein unki classes bunk karta hun. Main roll no. '679' DCE ki salakhon se bahar dekhta hoon............................. ps: if you are wondering what happened to the Dreamz collection then the latest is that song 2 of Dreamz...' Friends Forever ' is almost complete and that along with ' Stella's Story ' would be posted very soon...
