The End of Beautiful & Bright!!!

Today on this Monday Bright
I thought to write
Where are those Mondays with classroom sights
Then I sadly realize
The End of Beautiful and Bright!!!

Today, weekdays are spend on business at sight
Either to run after or satisfy their might
Where are those weekdays with professors discussions and classroom cheerful fights
Then I disconsolately realize
The End of Beautiful and Bright!!!

Today, free times are spend with colleagues on site
Discussing on performance and achievement of glorious heights
Where are those free times with friends having fun in Rest-O-Bars, roaming beaches and flying kites to conquer heights
Then I melancholily realize
The end of Beautiful and Bright!!!

Today, Cricket/Football matches are enjoyed in office lights
With laughs & smiles that are stressful & tight
Where are those matches which we enjoyed in classroom & canteen with little fights
Then I dishearteningly realize
The End of Beautiful and Bright!!!

Today, there are show-offs of winning a fight
Either over a prize or best performance by working in tight
Where are those show-offs of passing exams by studying on previous day late nights
Then I sorrowfully realize
The End of Beautiful and Bright!!!

Today, data feeding & analysis done overnight
They don't even know whether wrong or right
Where are those times, in the name of data analysis or practicals, used to play computer games redeeming professor's sight
Then I unhappily realize
The End of Beautiful and Bright!!!

Today, aim is to get work done before night
Either hurriedly or having foresight of being right
Where are those days with the aim of bunking lectures either by jumping off the walls or by getting into watchman fight
Then I quietly realize
The End of Beautiful and Bright!!!

Today, world revolves around mobiles & email sites
Everyone wants everything in 'Black-n-White'
Where is that world with full of colors and friendship through mobiles & mails ignites
Then I surely realized
The End of Beautiful and Bright!!!

Today, corporate life has become everyone's breakfast & dinner of night
Everyone accepts this truth with me alike
But the fond memories of DBIT takes my joy to heights
Now I smiling realize as it doesn't matter with
The End of Beautiful and Bright!!!

Annual Day Reunion!!!!

Finally found some time to type this long overdue post. Kindly pardon my amateurish writing. Six months after we all parted ways to achieve our goals at our respective companies and organizations it was time to have a reunion of DBIT batch of 2007. What better way to do this than meeting at our college annual day and so it happened. On February 9th, 2007 the DBIT batch of 2007 met at the campus for a reunion.

After a lot of SMS's and IM's about 50 to 60 of us turned up for the reunion.

Most of us skipped the speeches and sat for the program after that which lived upto all our expectations of being boring as usual. But that wasn't wat we had turned up for .... we had come to meet each other and enjoy .. n did we do that?? HELL yeah!!!!

After the event everyone shared the usual Hi, Hello , where are u working, which technology etc etc ....... The college staff and management were acting overly good to us. Wish they had treated us the same way while we were in college. KP took us to his new den and even the newly renovated library. Then after a few photo sessions and a bit of dancing it was time to tell adios to half the crowd ...... the rest of us headed towards Bandra for dinner. Prof. Reef and BoyToy along with his close aide joined us for dinner.


Unable to find any other place where 25 odd people could sit together, we landed at Sheeshaz roof top in the chilling climate. Being Lent , the number of vegetarians closely matched the non vegetarians ...... so we sat in two groups. Nivya and shaazia sat among the vegetarians but always managed to pick some chicken from our table. BoyToys close aide left early so he could spend some valuable time with his dog.


We even had Shrividya and Bhavi Jones joining us over phone. After eating some good moughli food it was time to say "adios". It was the end of another great and heartfelt reunion. m sure on the way back home all of us must have thought the same thing ...... ' When do we meet again?' ...

Hey i forgot one thing .......... Marina managed to keep wake throughout this session :D .
Sid, Shaz n group kindly post in your entries about the reunion .... and for those who missed the reunion kindly make it a point to come nxt time or organize one ....

Adios, till we meet again !!!!

Oopps!! we will meet again!!!

Happy New Year

I know it's a bit late but Happy New Year, ya lazy bums. How time flies! A year back we were all bracing ourselves for freedom from Mumbai University and Don Bosco. And now all we talk about are the good ol college days like a bunch of 60+ oldies.

So what new challenges does the New Year bring? For those in the industry, decisions will have to be made with regards to a career in IT or management. For others student life once again on foreign shores in a superior educational system.

As for our great country, the media and government paints a very Orwellian picture. While the sensex hits the 21k mark, the stark reality is that 80% are below the poverty line. Farmers committing suicide is now the norm. The government comes up with plans to convert Mumbai to Shanghai. Ha! Good luck with that. My grandchildren will be dead and buried by the time we even have decent roads to compare with the Shanghai of 2008, so God only knows how far ahead Shanghai will be then. The media gives stupid statistics about our metros being safe, yet our women suffer every day. The New Year incident at the Marriott just garnered attention because it was NRIs molested by a group of 70. What confuses me is ratio of the number of molesters to the number of available orifices!! Girls if you're out partying on New Year in Mumbai, carry some super automobile lubricant. It'll just be less painful. School kids having access to alcohol shows the pitiful state of the law here. Worse still is that they're allowed to drive and kill random pavement dwellers who work hard to earn their bread. Off late kids have had access to guns and school shootings have become common here. Where the hell were these weapon traffickers when I was in DBIT??

People always criticize me for not standing during the National Anthem at theatres. It's not that I'm not patriotic, but shouldn't I have something to be proud of before standing? The stupid politicians that enforce the rule are the least bit bothered about the welfare of the country. The truth always hurts eh?

Don't know what was the real point was in writing this, but Happy New Year indeed.
