May 11 seems to be a lucky day for me. Its exactly on this day five years ago, i joined my first job. Luck favoured me again on this day with two placement offers on this day. When i got through Eduvision, (whose result i came to know on saturday night itself) i was relieved more than happy. But aviva certainly felt good. i am now happy for the fact that the very purpose of me coming to IBS is over. But the only disappointment is that i could not succeed in my business. I had to clsoe down the operatons for time being. I need some money to start off again at the new location right outside the chilkur temple entrance. Well , my business plan was offering counting machines for the devotees of chilkur temple on a rental basis. This idea proved to be a master stroke as the investment is as low as Rs.10000. No wonder, prof. Patnaik encouraged me to implement this idea ( but had he given some money , that would have been more useful instead of a case study on me!!!) I have learned certain things from this failed (?) startup. First thing is that one should not set up a business in a place if he does not know the local language or the local community over there. After facing some stiff opposition from the localites in getting a shop, i could imagine the level of oppostion for TATA motors singur project. Getting their help and convincing them is most important. Second thing is employing the right person. Again i did a mistake here by choosing a wrong person for the job. Thats y even the best of the ideas and projects fail during the implementation stage. I think this would be my last post from Hyderabad, as i would be going home this week. This extended stay at the campus really helped me in getting new friends. Coming back to IPL, i am really happy as the Chargers and the mumbai indians are back to winning ways. But the Dare devils and the super kings are on a roll. Especially super kings regrouped really well to win 5 consecutive mathces. Looking at the current form of Hayden and Raina, this team is peaking at the right time. Well, for Delhi, Nannes is the most dangerous bowler, who is playing ahead of the gr8 Mcgrath. The stage is nicely set for a close finish for the ipl.
But 11th may ended on a disappointing note for me .. Well i was giving treat to some 15 friends of mine at the Delhi durbar. We were served butter chicken instead of kaju paneer. I was one of the victim to taste chicken . I took two pieces of roti and then one of my friend alerted it was chicken... Oh my God, i was furious.. i was shocked and I blasted the guy who served it and and also the owner before my friends intervened. It took me an hour to get back to my normal mode...i came back without eating anyting there and my friend helped me out with some mango juice and bhujiyas. Another hard lesson learnt, never eat veg in a non-veg hotel. Well, over these three months, i have been remixing some songs and even posted some of them in my youtube channel. Music really relieved my pressure during these days. I started off with recording just for fun but later thought doing it regularly. I have recorded more than 30 songs. I am still reluctant to post my voice.. although i am quite comfortable with me as a percussionist. Here is the link for my youtube channel. Just go through and do post ur honest comments.
