Final thoughts.

Some good sense still prevails.Realized the need of the hour. It is not to get carried away but to control your emotions & excitements and to do well in your exams.

Yes, this is my first attempt at this coveted exam. Though, highly ill-prepared.

But the un-said aim of this attempt is coming to terms with reality, I have been flirting with the Idea of giving UPSC exam for a long time now.Last year SSB clashed with this exam and I had to make one of the thoughest choice of my life.

And, went for the SSB interview.

I reckon I have not been that serious with studies akin to the preparation of guys in Mukherjee Nagar/ Delhi(UPSC preparation HUB). May be this exam will bring me back to earth.

Clearing this is no-joke.

Its been a problem sustaining the intensity with my studies. I have always given up under immense irritation.

Anyways this prelims exam would be a litmus test and will ascertain if this my cup of tea.

If it is, then it is just a matter of time that I join the services. No, it is not over-confidence or it is not about undermining the rivals, it is just an optimist outlook.

Between I came to know from Akhilesh that few more our batch mates have made it to the IIM A. Congrats guys.

Akhilesh also said that no more people are getting transferred to Mumbai.

Well, I think I was the last guy to get transferred.

It’s quite sad to know that Reliance have put on hold 3 projects. That, essentially means we have an excessive manpower.

Scenario is scary. Reliance has indeed spoiled careers of many.

A company with no realistic structure and so un-organised.

Cribbing about one’s own company is not good and is against my personal mottoes. So that is the full-stop.

Don’t think I won’t be able to blog back home, SO this becomes my last blog for some time.

And Congress has messed up with the “Baba Ramdev's Fast”.

Kapil Sibal has acted like a naïve KID who has a Harvard degree(with no practical use). Your Double-dealing act was cheap Sir.

Well, your NO-LOSS Theory on 2G scam still shocks me even in my sleep.

Excited to see Hari, Thadiyan and Ramkumar.

So a long good bye.

And checked my ticket status for the last time, it still ranked '1' on the waiting list.Heheee..

I love my kerala.

And then finally off to kerala tomorrow.

Got a waiting list (1) tatkal ticket. Hope it gets confirmed on the final chart.

Everything has a first time, please god don’t make me bribe the TTE.

Meanwhile thank you vivek .He had taken all pains to book my ticket on a Sunday morning, tolerating the irritating old-aged sluggish railway website and sacrificing a pleasant morning sleep.

It is going to be a long vacation and would re-live those monsoon memories.

Damn! It never rains in Delhi. Life is so suffocating here.

Hope to see Thadiyan. He is going to US. Yet another guy lured by the West. .

And hari has planned a get-together kind of at Marine Drive.Its going to be memorable.

Even tedy would join making it a session of senseless deliberations and vayinokkals.

Forgot to tell you this would be first attempt on Civil Service exam. Well, that happens to be the primary reason of this visit.

All the best.
Bye.

It goes on and On...

As life meanders..
Wonder what..
Lurk around the corner..
Hope it’s the ‘Ups’ of life..

A mysterious..
Zeal beckons..
to satiate the urge..
a drive to surpass.
The hurdles of fallacy..
And mirages of bliss..

It’s a new beginning..
Afresh thoughts..
Emotionally entangled...
Between a..
Vibrant spirit..
And maimed soul…
But a determined mind..
Shows the way..
And the Journey starts..
Life relishes..

NOT available.

No tickets available.

May be should try Tatkal tickets.

Need to come to office before 8 in the morning tomorrow. That would be a shock for the guards who regularly see me cruising in to punch at 9:45- just in time or late.

In the history of this company I guess anyone would have walked pass the entry gate so early. New record would be set tomorrow.

Out of the blue a mail warning has popped up on the screen.

Its been so long something like this happened. Hope It’s the HR mail.

Grrrr… checked the mail.

Its not worthy to explain the mail.

How did Kyazoonga get my official mail ID???... I am not going to waste my valuable time pondering over this.

I remember I had booked WC tickets with this ID.

Now they are sending me all Spam mails.

This mail says Salman Khan is ready with Asin. To do what???- It is unclear on that. Some kind of marketing Stunt I guess.They want to create curiosity among readers and I am not going to fall for this.

Reckon it is about some up-coming movie. Lost zeal for movies so there goes the mail into thrash.

Meanwhile. Asin is inflammable. Good that nowadays they use digitalized tape.

Goddess of Sleep is so seductive.

Sleeping.

Destiny

Not giving the EXAM because IRCTC refused me tickets.

I had logged in but while searching for trains I got logged off automatically.

And then it refused me entry. It says my password is wrong.

How is it possible I just logged in you b****h.

Sad. Last year it was a SSB interview.

This year it is IRCTC. I am not destined to write this exam.

Bad day.

YAAAAAAWN. Feel sleepy.

It is nothing like sleeping on the office desk.

Mission IRCTC

A quick entry.

Mission IRCTC accomplished.I had forgotten my password.

I tried all possible combination of potential passwords but none worked.

Got annoyed and typed in my last entry.

BINGO! It worked.

Now it is time to change it to a very easy to remember password.

Between tedy had called yesterday. He told me my center for CSAT is Rajagiri public School (Thadiyan’s School- does that portend well? - see this as hot debate topic).

We had not gotten our admit card till date. I was partly happy for the fact that it made things easy for me as I was double-minded on giving this exam.

And, now he tells me that even if you don’t receive the admit card you have another option to give the exam. All you need to do is get the online copy of your registration slip with the center information, with two recent photographs and an Identity card.

With these documents they would let you appear for the exam. Tedy, my dear, your kindness has put me in deep mess.

Hmm.. Still not decided to give the exam or not as I have not prepared for the Mains.

Giving prelims without preparing for the mains is like making a fool of oneself.

And, prelims mark does not count.

Well one more decision to make.

Nevertheless checked for flight tickets for 11th june (12th -Exam). Discouraging, prices have soared like anything.

Free market supply-demand forces have pushed the prices so high beyond the common man’s reach.All the Capitalist-Economist do you hear that.

Obviously, the next option is Railways and that is how I embarked on the mission to retrieve my Login password.

Hope to get a confirmed ticket.

Good luck .Bye

Invasion

They just keep walking all day, no, all day and night. I think they keep walking their entire life until they find food.

Once they find food, they invade like the Mughals.

So that is what happened with my Samosas.

As planned I had bunked office today. And summers have choked all your options of going out during day time.

So in the morning itself I had gone to the market nearby and bought eatables for the day. The bakers there make good delicious samosas. I had bought 8 of them. I had imagined of having them with black coffee.

After coming back from market, I kept the samosas on my table and grabbed the paper. unforfunately(quite normal though), I slept off while reading.

I woke up to find an "Ant Invasion" on my samosas.

Freaking there were millions of them. I tried to shoo them away but only to get more annoyed.Finally, I sacrificed the Samosas.

I’m sure 8 samosas would feed them for the whole season.

Found some solace in the fact that it’s gone for charity. After all humans do have some responsibilities to their fellow living being.

And Magnitude of responsibility is manifold considering the fact that we are the superior being.

But then I was damn hungry. These sentiments and good-will thoughts won’t satisfy your hunger.

I understand this is the same materialistic thought Karl Marx had. He said only if one's stomach is filled one would be in a state to think.

Therfore, he dejected the primacy of Ideas and embarked on the mission of dialectical materialism. This mission culminated in what world now calls MARXISM OR COMMUNISM.

No No I’m not turning Marx, I was freaking hungry and his thought becomes so vital in these Situation.

I ordered Food from Meal Express and plunged onto some FM music.

Rs 150/- for a good meal. In kerala a good south Indian meal one would get for Rs 25

Food been a rip-off here. Capitalism has not really worked for the betterment of people in this sector.

Needless to say, I’m not going into capitalism and communism again. But, Kerala being kind of a Communist state has attained more balanced growth than any state in India.

People who crib about the paucity of Infrastructure development in kerala, should understand that it has been greatly successful is developing its Human Resources. One would easily find marked Individuals in almost all the fields of study and research.

Written a lot i belive.

Checked my mail inbox. There is no mail from HR.

I think I’m losing this JOB.

Not found a way ahead. Time to punch-out.

Did not FB today: feels good.

A highly un-productive day in terms of knowledge acquirement and between Slept like a PIG after the heavy Meal.

I like this meek submission to the goddness of sleep and Thats is truly me.

And women in my society is forcing me to perform more laboriously.Summers are very demanding.

Sometimes I really dont like this self employment.It drains the life out of me.

But I enjoy its highs and Lows.

Bye.Good night.
