Tribute to a legend – The Appam Chuthiya

23-03-10

For the past one, one-half year I haven’t made a significant blog entry. Leave aside blog not even a good tweet. Even academic stuffs were handled only when the deadlines were too close to ignore.

Now I have around 3 hours left to board my flight to HK and there is some issue with wi-fi connection. So let me just describe one good thing I have done absolutely well and with all commitment in the last 48 hours.

Day before yesterday morning, Kerala received the biggest recognition of the millennium, yes Kochi, the most happening place will have a team in IPL 4. People spend 335 million USD for an IPL team (that’s some money ryt?) there are people who spent more.. Pune 375. And before them , the adanis with 300 is nothing. Even if we had received an UN grand to eradicate poverty we would not have been so happy I suppose. Anyhow we have an IPL team now. Guess who is on cloud 9? Sreesanth a.k.a Appam Chuthiya (wat a name sirji.. take a bow fakeiplplayer)

By the by what did I do? the the question right...

Discussion forum for all malayalees (mallus) who don’t want sreesanth in kochi IPL team

FB-> http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=110353832315191

Orkut-> http://www.orkut.com/Main#Community?cmm=99713783

Guess what, more than 100 members in less than 24 hours.

So whats the motivation behind this?

In Malayalam they say “ oru malayalikku vere oru malayalee nannavunathu sahikoolannu” (one mallu wont like the success of another”

But there is seriously nothing to envy about sreesanth. Rather I hate is arrogance, ya I belong to a generation who have seen the master called sachin playing the same game. If there is someone who should be arrogant that’s the person, but he shows that only with his willow.

Take a look at his behaviour on field.. He got what he deserved.. :P

But what about off the field

Isnt this too much?

Adichu nannakanda amma polum onnum parayunnille..pinne enthu cheyyum?

That’s why all the 'I hate sreesanth' communities have thousands of members.

I wish to see the fourth edition of IPL with a marvellous Kochi side, Sreesanth not in as captain nor as a player.

The vicious cycle

20-06-2009 19:19 Ahmedabad 43°C

Though no problem gets aggravated here with incoming batches this can still be named a vicious cycle. When you see the incoming batch or so called fachchas its necessary to look back and understand what you have gained with one year of management education. So i decided to give a break to my preparation for the next class and try to pen down some of my thoughts.

I see similar faces; some faces with that 'attitude' and some other with the 'determination'. Some with their proud parents; why shouldn't they be, their children made it to the best business school in India

A year down the lane I was expecting a bunch of studious, hard working guys who could be categorized as 'geniuses' over here at IIMA; but what did i find here? Though i admit most of them have inborn talents and very high level of intelligence, i am seriously disappointed with most of my batchmates. Being to an institution like this just to get great jobs and to make money, but is that the purpose to be served by IIM's?. Why should i care. Then you find the recession hitting hard in all areas and find the job market down. Again you see people frustrated because they dont have a preplacement offer or they think this education has done nothing good. But in a long term perspective whatever is going to be the market situation this brand is going to take you to heights which they find hard even to think.

As far the knowledge gained is concerned, i believe i learned in this one year something including several lessons of life which i could gained from no other place else.

There was enthusiasm to write, study, blog, chat everything.. but only few remain. Hope i can carry on smoothly. I will get to see more people, learn more and what all.. I have no idea...

Let the cycles continue..
