Check off your Bucket list

Alright, so this post is inspired from the thread in 'pagalguy' under the same heading, and I am inclined to submit my bucket list here.

Here it goes...


1. Who are you, what do you do...

Just a regular guy from Kolkata. Actually, pretty much less than a regular guy. Decided not to sit for campus interviews in the college, because I thought I would make it to a good b-school, turned out the other way. Sat for one year at home and prepared for exams and again CAT and other exams showed me the door. So as of now, gearing up for bank-p.o. exam and searching for IT jobs.


2. Some of your bucket list items...

Had many, since my school life. Listing a few...

a) Stay in a hostel.
b) Publish my own story.
c) Study engineering (yehwala bakwas hai. ajkal to har koi engg padta hai)
d)Do MBA (mar gaya yehwala achieve karne ke chakkar mein)
e)Do FPM (Bhagwan jane hoga ya nahi)
f)Learn another international language
g)Go to Canada.
h)To have a room for myself (okay, I never had a room for myself in life)
i)To learn violin.
j)To teach in a IIM (please don't groan. I know I am mad. )


3. What have you checked off your list, if any...

a, b, c, and f is done.

Stayed in N'pur R.K. Mission

TOI published my writings twice.

Studied engineering. (thik hai yaar main pagal hoon)

Have learnt Deutsch from Max Mueller Bhavan Kolkata.


4. What are your next items on the list that you will be checking off...


Want to do MBA soon, really bad. I need this more than anything else.


5. Anything else that you would want to mention...


Staying in a few places, alone has taught me one thing, that whatever happens, I know I will do everything I want in my life. One day, I will live my life to the fullest.

Till then, I will keep fighting.


PS: Read the thread of psychodementia (Arun) at PG. Guy was genius. I am inspired, to say the least. But doing MBA from an international BSchool needs funding. We are talking about somewhere around forty lakhs. Need to sort out something, for sure.


So here is my bucket list number 11.

k) I will start working on my profile, contacts and other necessary things to look at, in order to gear up for something big. As Arun said, target big. You will end up having something decent.


Lots to write, about other things in life too. But confining this post to the wish list, for now.

Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Kahin deep jale kahin dil
Zara dekh le aakar parwaane
Teri kaunsi hai manzil
Kahin deep jale kahin dil


Mera geet mere dil ki pukaar hai
Jahan main hoon vahin tera pyaar hai

Mera dil hai teri mehfil
Zara dekh le aakar parwaane
Teri kaunsi hai manzil
Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Na main sapna hoon na koi raaz hoon
Ek dard bhari aawaaz hoon

Piya der na kar aa mil
Zara dekh le aakar parwaane
Teri kaunsi hai manzil
Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Dushman hai hazaaron yahan jaan ke
Zara milna nazar pehchaanke

Kayi roop mein hai kaatil
Zara dekh le aakar parwaane
Teri kaunsi hai manzil
Kahin deep jale kahin dil

Notes from a living room: 28

Tears run down my eyes when I see people smiling... when I see them, or their pictures, happy. What have I become, after all these things? Is this all I wanted? So many people believed in me, had faith in me. Everything gone. Shame and disrespect is all I carry now. Don't know when am I going to get out of it. Seven months unemployed now, and still counting. All the dreams of doing MBA have shattered. There's no one who believes in me now, or has confidence on me. I weep, when people ignore me...which starts with my parents. I understand they have been beside me and my decisions for a long time... but no one understands, I tried. I tried hard and I failed. Took a few decisions which went wrong.

Desperately wanted someone...atleast to tell me that things are going to be alright. But I understand... everyone has their own life and their own problems to deal with. I am just a no one.

This line always brings a deep sigh from the deepest core of my heart, with a drop of tear from one of the eyes...and I will remind of all the happy faces I have met, in my whole life. God, why do you make me cry all the time?


Are you happy, my friend?

GLIMPSE FROM THE PAST - LETTER TO A NO ONE

''Hi.

It’s monsoon in the city. I was thinking about you for the last few days…wanted to talk to you. But you can’t be disturbed until your exam gets over, so thought about writing here.

I dreamt about you. About us, rather. In the dream, we were walking on a hilly road…holding hands. There were flowers at either side of the road. I don’t know their names but it was really beautiful. Well, I don’t even know why I saw us, and as a matter of fact I also don’t know whether you like mountains… but had you seen it, I am sure you would’ve liked it.


You know, when you asked me whether I still feel the same way for you, and I said yes, I thought you understood that I still loved you. I know you have been through bad times but I still want to stand beside you...

You once said , 'we still think the same way'...so why can't we feel the same way? why is that even after such a long time I can't be someone special in your life...why can't I know you better.

sometimes I feel like talking to you, just simple, plain talking, because I am happy whenever you are around me...that is what I mean by 'knowing and understanding', if that is your question.

I haven’t waited for anyone the way I have for you. And being without you…it just makes me lonely all the time. People know it to be a statement but I guess for me it’s a feeling.

I love you.''

IPL auction 5 ended, and tell you what, the game has become more interesting than ever.

Crucial buys

1. Rabindra Jadeja goes to CSK for 2.00 M.

2. Brendon McCullum goes to KKR for 0.90 M.

3. Muralitharan was picked up by the RCB for 0.22 M.

4. R Vinay Kumar was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for a whopping 1.00 M.

5. West Indies' Sunil Narine was bought by KKR surprisingly for .70 M.

6. After the lunch break (...and hence I failed to watch the show), Marchant de Lange of South Africa was bought by KKR for .50 M.


Analyses.

For KKR, it's going to be an interesting season altogether. They have used their money wisely, Sunil Narine is a good buy according to me, as is De Lange. Narine can be a supplement for Sakib-Al-Hasan and in my opinion, Narine with his unorthodox action and off spin, can proved to be crucial in the first six overs. De Lange and the last year buy Pattinson brings the right mix of pace in the team.

Just collected the following information from the wikipedia about De Lange. "Prior to his cricketing career, de Lange was a javelin thrower hence his ability to attain such impressive pace from a short run-up."

Having an experienced campaigner as Brett Lee in your side as well as young blood like these make the team flexible. Also, with McCullum coming back into the side, I guess it's time to say good bye to Brad Haddin, who has been out of form. The team looks in good shape, with Kallis and Gambhir at the top followed by McCullum, M. Tiwari, Ten Doeschate, Morgan and Y. Pathan in the middle. Looking forward to the IPL season five like anything.
