learning of the day

I guess i decided to make this blog because of my failed attempts at trying to impress someone.

I remember that scene in madagascar 2, when alex the lion tells a monkey to pull them up or else they will break the dam. Though the message conveyed after several messengers is to break the dam.


What i'd like to say from here is, dont ever send a message directly or indirectly through a third person, it is possible they might break the dam as well.


From my personal experience, I really am still trying to talk to this senior, because apoorva asked me to interact. well, the thing i noticed about her that she isn't bad. I mean i guess i told everyone she isn't bad, she just tries to show she is mean, even though she isnt, for her own reasons i'm sure.

The message that reached her was,
i think she is mean.


Man, the people these days don't focus on the good things in life, i've tried and tried to notice only the good in people, yet some people just make me go ugh, and no she is not one of them.
I'm talking about the people who were the messengers.

Well if she ever reads this, which she won't, all i wanna say is that i'm sorry. I never said anything bad about you, people just twisted my words and told you.

sincerely,
the misunderstood one... clearly -.-

down the memory lane

This one was requested by my friend apoorva, well she is a real amazing friend of mine, and yeah we are just friends ;)

the story starts when we were in our first year. The annual day was one of the biggest events in our college, specially because it was our golden jublee year, and we are the golden jublee batch.

Our Annual day was themed on bengali culture, the main attraction was our dance drama - shyama, by rabrindnath tagore.

Most of my friends know I can't dance, well if someone asked me to dance, someone watching might commit suicide. I hope that gives you guys the idea how bad i must be.

My senior, Malvika ma'am had told me to dance, atleast for my first annual day. I did audition, and surprisingly, they did put me in a few dances.
Me being tall, is a huge problem so i was shifted to another dance.
My group had 6 people, plus my main senior playing shyama.
Apoorva was on my side, and dancing infront of me.

The thing is, Apoorva and I were more of aquaintances then, only source by which i knew her - facebook.

first picture of us, during practice

If i had to describe her when I first saw her, it would be a lady with tremendous sex appeal. I remember a batchmate coming up to me and telling me how hot a chick did i score. I just smiled.

So apoorva and I used to have fun making jokes, on us being all that, and i remember one of her friends going OH MY GOD!! ARE YOU CRAZY?! WHAT WILL PEOPLE THINK NOW?!

It did sort of piss me off, but it was awesome how she handeled that.
Annual day practice had a lot of fun moments, you see our leader, used to give other groups dancing as well, so we used to do weird stuff while she was gone,
everything apart from practice,


Titanic recreated
 
 
So a day before the event we werent sure if we remembered the second dance steps, so we it was kinda horrific and scary how our senior was, blah blah blah you cant dance, il cancel it, blah blah.
 
Though we did manage it, and our final rehearsal on stage was the day when we finally almost got it right, note i said almost.
 
 
day before the function, i remember it being hot.
 

 
 and then came the day when we had to dress up, and practice, yeah annual day for 50 years of college is aparently a huge event.
So my friends had amazing fun clicking pictures of me wearing nailpolish, i mean come on, nailpolish sucks otherwise,
naina we need to click this, said my friends
 
 
so after a few rounds of practice, we all were tired and decided to sleep, and apoorva being the brat and the devilish mind clicked the picture of us sleeping,
 
sleeping before the function


when the moment came to me dancing, i wasn't that bad(thanks to geetika mam)
though i fell once while gettin up on stage, but nobody noticed it, luckily.


 
 
 
our small little group
 
 
 
 
we partied for a while, while enjoying the music played by mihir, yep he was awesome.
 
 
embarresing apoorva with sid and my drama
 
we then decided to go back home all of us, i stayed over at apoorva's that night, and no nothing happened.
it was a wild ride home with, prateev sir, hitanshi, dimri and apoorva, a story i will write some other day
 
Hope you guys enjoyed the memory lane, more to come, and request for any if you want it to be written.

Taking life seriously.... or maybe not

After my boards finished, i honestly had 3 months to kill, 3 months of doing nothing. So since I wanted  to do law, my mom got me into a career institute for studying for the Law entrance.

See the basic thing was legal apptitude classes were the only seperate classes for law, rest for maths, logical reasoning, english, general knowledge, and weird stuff.

Legal apptitude classes were there once or twice a week, and instead of attending the class, i used to go have hookah with my new found friends out there.

BIG mistake, but definitely gave me a nice bad ass hit.
So before joining college, i was already ready for the hotel industry due to my exposure to all that.

But that is a different story,
My main aim, Law, or journalism was going great, actually come to think about it i had an amazing chance at journalism as i expected around 90% above in english.

So i gave all the entrances, and i clearly remember doing random answers in english coz i didnt have the time to do it.


My board result was the first to come out, honestly i hadn't studied like a serious student, but i knew what i was doing.

My score card was -
Economics - 77
Accounts - 77
business studies -66 (after failing continously for 2 years in it, this was pretty awesome)
Entrepreneurship - 83
English - 56

The english marks gave me a shock, doing english honours, or journalism from a good college went right through the window.
Honestly i still dont know why i was given such a low score, because the paper was amazing.

So i had given an entrance on journalism and hotel management as well, so it wasn't half as bad, but now when i talk about it, im glad i didn't get through law.

My journalism rank was 41 All india,
Clat rank - 4500
Hotel management rank - 327


now i could have done journalism, but i was getting the best college for hotel management, best college in the country, so i thought through it a lot,
and finally decided okay, i will do hotel management,


I might have regretted not studying for Law, but now when i think about it, i might have run away from there probably because it would have a lot of serious people, and i could not deal with seriousness.

I mean Law, is for maintaining justice, not for ruining your own life.

And, if i had another chance to go back again and change my choices, i probably wont go through with the law exam in the first place.

But at the end, i am happy i enjoyed my life then, rather than go about carrying books and being all studious just for the sake of law,

P.S. - Hotel management students do have their perks, plus being here in IHM pusa, kinda made me meet awesome people,
people i will be talking about here  in my blog, though i will change names, for keeping privacy, but, you will hear it all people,

this is me with a few friends at my college

I hope you guys enjoy this, and enjoy your life,
do take your life seriously if you want to be a rich bitch,

but do let yourself lose once in a while too, it can be fun believe me,


Signing Off,
Naina Dasan

we can get proffesional too at times

Karma... or is it?


When i was younger, around 10 years old or so, i used to call my brother a failure, on his face , because i hated him, you know like everyone hates their brothers and sisters.

But calling him a failure wasn't the right thing to do,
I mean, i did think of him as a loser, as my parents always thought i was the smarter kid, and honestly, i didnt wanna be anything like him.

Top grades and being good in sports, i was all that, and extremely over confident that my parents were soo proud of me.



But as the name of the post suggests, Karma, did come back to me, for being nasty to him.
I started failing in subjects i used to top at. Due to careless mistakes.

I decided to apologize to my brother for that, and i knew it wasnt gonna change what i deserved. So, i decided to be the better child and not smoke or drink or do anything like  that, infact i would become a vetinary doctor, and help animals,

That was the dream, but i didn't get science when i was doing higher school education.

My brother at that time was pursuing Hotel management, and i thought that course was for losers.


Ironically i landed up with commerce without maths, and in the same class as my brother was, with the same teachers.


I still thought, i would give myself a chance to do law, or journalism,
and i did think id do that,
But my clat rank being 4000 something law wouldnt have been awesome, and my back up entrance was hotel management, in which i got a great rank (and who doesnt believe in fate now)


So i did get through hotel management, and right now as i type im doing my industrial training in the fourth semester.


I'd like to apologize to my brother , right here in the public forum ,
Hotel management is difficult, and ironically following the same path as he did, made me a lot like him,  but i got to know how awesome he is,



and i do regret calling him loser, and all those names,
because what he did, is not bad, its just how he was shaped up,
and when i see him now,  i realize, bloody hell i was such a judgemental bitch,




All i wanna say now is,
I love you dada, 
and karma kicking me in the ass, and taking me towards destiny,
is all thanks to you! 




moral: karma and destiny, are connected
