THE IDIOTS


“Life is a race. Bhaago !! Tez nahi bhaagoge toh you will be like a broken anda.” Famous quote from the meticulous Viru Sahastrabuddhe aka VIRUS in 3 Idiots. True ?? seems like it. Cut throat competition, dwindling markets, dollar doing its ding-dong with the rupee. Hell ! where are we headed to. With the placement season on the horizon, the question becomes all the more gruesome. And like a true MBA, whenever these thoughts cross my mind, I pick up my laptop and open up FACEBOOK & TWITTER. Voila ! The world ain’t that bad either.



Lalu Yadav was finally convicted in the fodderscam. Bovine justice to say the least. But the funny part was the court imposing a fine of 25 lakhs on the convicts. Seriously ?? For a 900 crore scam. Quite a bargain. Tendulkar decided to call it a day on his international career. Wonder what impact it would have on the poor Critics who made a life out of criticising the great man. Still remember Virat Kohli’s statement after the 2011 world cup triumph about the Master- “ He’s carried the weight of 100 crore expectations for two decades on his shoulders. It’s time we carried him on our shoulders ”

The mystery of Asaram’s antics has been touching new heights. From being approached by companies to endorse Viagra products to the demand of his genitals being placed in the Madame Tussauds. Everyone wants a piece of Asaram. But Indian men have always been horny. Grand Masti didn’t gross 100 crores for nothing. The same however can’t be said about Rahul Gandhi though. Lecturing poor villagers in terms of Escape velocity of Jupiter. WDF? He would have been far better off tearing another useless Cabinet bill. kam se kam taaliyaa toh bajti.

But the ROFL moment of the month was Mallika Sherawat feeling offended by a contestant’s facebook picture sitting with two girls. Agreed the man is here to marry you. But what about her makeouts in the elevators, on public beaches, on the roofs and where not. And then they call the Indian men hypocrites. Now that we are talking about TV shows, how could one forget the oh so delightful “Comedy Nights with Kapil”  Ain’t it the best feeling to see the entire family having a laugh. A word of caution. Don’t try using the BABA JEE KA THULLU on a girl. You might not get the same response as Kapil does.


And just like that the mind is at peace and out comes another piece of filmy advice. Let’s put the metal on the pedal and as Baba Ranchoddas said “Job ka kya hai. Job toh mil hi jayegi. I guarantee it.”

Life of an Intern


When Gmail replaces Facebook as the first tab on your Chrome page, you know life’s gotten busy. When bites of the Leather replace the comfort of Chappals and Sneakers on your feet, you know life’s gotten busy. When you prefer catching an expensive matinee show instead of the cheaper morning one, you know life’s gotten busy. When a few extra hours of sleep replace the things you loved doing most, well, life’s gotten busy.





Life, for sure has changed. For the good or the bad. Well can’t say. The powerpoint skills have improved. So has typing speed on the keyboard. Can’t say the same for Excel though. Abhi bhi Autosum se aage kuch nahi seekha. The checks on the shirts have given way to a range of linen. The late night TV series takes weeks to get over with. Deadlines ki toh Maa ki.. Friday night has become the most celebrated moment of the week. Bottle kholing Daaru pouring..

But all is not gloom in this new phase of life. You have your share of fun too. The smile when you hear your Boss say “Bhenchod !!! Hum Chutiye baithe hai yaha !!!” when the client postpones a meeting. Priceless!! The smirks you exchange with the your mates when the Manager talks about doing it for the Company. The On-going crushes and romances in the cafeteria. The thumping in the Chest when you finally manage a Well Done pat from your Boss.


Woahh. Got a little philosophical. Too much actually. But Who cares. Life ka toh pata nahi, the world has been changing dramatically. The Country is headed for a new Prime Minister who will be either a Pappu or a Feku. Kudos to the nicknames. Sir Jadeja is winning matches for his team. Tusshar Kapoor ko bhi dialogue mil gye yaar ab toh. Sunny Leone is wearing clothes. Formality ke lie hi sahi. So there’s still hope. Life ain’t that bad either. And as they say, like everything else, this too shall pass.
