Quotable Quotes

abhishekpandey10 — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Now that Mr. Murthy's lecture has got an official coverage, let me repost my blog (as much as I remember). So here goes, a few memorable quotes from Mr. Mahesh Murthy's lecture on Entrepreneurship:

"I dropped out of college in the first year, I didn't go back to college after that.....except to teach"

"If you want to create employment, go join the railway ministry"

"If you follow the trend, it is your end"

"Bu [...]

Vision

shriramparthasarathy10 — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Open your eyes,

there are lots to see,

Speaking of hundred's and thousands,

of people, like you and me.

Find some time, to look through yourself,

find ways, others, in need, to help.

Look, through your heart, your resting soul,

not just see, but understand your role.

You are born, to be wise,

towards them, to be nice,

open your eyes, to spot the truth,

truth [...]

Omar Abdullah’s recent speech in parliament on the confidence motion started with “I am an Indian first and Muslim second” brought the focus on importance of youth to bring new ideas, freshness and transparency in Indian politics. The related video is one of the most sought after on you tube. The people of nation desire more youth to come and take the country forward on the path of progress.

So, the obvious question that [...]

The hypocricy of Patriots

rohitnair09 — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100

There are 2 days in a year,when i actually feel ashamed of being myself.when i feel that i would give anything to change,to do something that is not for myself but for an ideal,a hope..those two days are 15th august and 26th january..days i'd give my little finger to avoid being in this country that i so unconditionally love...

Its these days when i feel that i haven't done anything for this country,that i am not worthy to even glance upon that tricolour that is so proudly di [...]

Work Around the Clock

shriramparthasarathy10 — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100

How does it feel to feast your eyes on those helpless, soulful beggars down at the railway station, on the bus stops, at the traffic signals, or even down by the foot path of your own lane? It does not serve a healthy appetite. Or does it? Your mind immediately rings the note of "Self help is the best help", and also the fact that, why can't your hands and legs drive your body and mind at a required speed?

When you look at a five year old spreading its hand [...]

A thing of beauty, A Joy eternal ?

rohitnair09 — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100

When you first come across a thing of beauty, you do not necessarily recognize it. Some things have their beauty hidden underneath, a beautiful princess under a myriad layers of ugly-looking sores that would drive the less determined suitors away. It takes a lot of courage and a healthy dose of irrationality to recognize the opportunity to do things slightly differently, to realize that you walk on a precipice thin enough to be a razors edge. On one side lies salvation, the [...]

an inspiring story

chetanapatra10 — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100

this storymakes a nice read :-)

This is a story of a poor Scottish farmer whose name was Fleming. One
day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for
help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the
bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy,
screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the boy
from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. The next day, a< [...]

Troubled Waters of Mayhem

shriramparthasarathy10 — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Gone are those days, when the Homeric hymns sang the praises of the kings, their valor, their bravery, of their descendants, of their foolishness and their rigidness. Gone, are those days, when the Trojan wars were fought, trampling the lives of thousands, of those innocent humans, who where made to fight and made to dye, in the battle of Troy in the name of "national pride". Now have come the days, where to one side there are Dylan's verses reflecting [...]

Galloping Madness

shriramparthasarathy10 — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100

The clock strikes four, and the tracks run hot,

iron wheals and human legs, they don't know to halt.

Haste, in their hearts, and no time to waste,

no seconds to spare, to question other's faults.

Them, no need to teach, to love, or to fight,

them, no need to preach, of wrong, and right.

They know it all, to repel, and rebel,

may be an ugly start, but it all ends well.

The [...]

Flying like a bird!!!

arpitgupta10 — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100

High I soar through the sky
Over mountains and oceans I fly,
I feel the wind under my wings,
Over white clouds I lie!!

I make the ocean my mirror,
I make the sky my ground,
I make the clouds my bed,
This is the house in the sky I found!

Sometimes the skies are clear,
Sometimes heavens rage down,
They burn me, they drench me
But I have to go on...

I will overcome all the storms,
Higher and higher [...]

Life @ Jamnalal Bajaj - Activities

samyakpandya09 — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Let me kick off this post by extending Kudos to the Catalyst Forum for a great induction programme for the incoming batch. It is without question, hands down the best induction session JBIMS has seen till date.

The kind of efforts put in by the senior batch in the face of unending assignments, lectures, and impending results was simply a treat to watch and be part of. The sheer magnitude of knowledge sharing that has happened over the past 10 days internally among the junior [...]

The suicide note

meetapoyekar09 — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100

So that was that, it had to be done
to live now, i had a reason none,
failures and frustration, a spirit broken,
not any day ,i had with a smile woken,
it was time now to jump the boat,
and i set to write my suicide note.

It was funny, writing this piece,
what did i have , none the least,
nothing to declare, nothing to leave behind,
and to whom i write? no one in mind!

Still, i wrote, there were some things,
the flowers in my [...]

Phew!

What an experience today, the seniors were in their dhamaal mood today. We had an amazing brand advertising session. We were givena leeway in terms of tie and all today which was a welcome change :)

The sessions like these wil go a long way in helping our team, our class, and the relationship between our seniors and us grow.

And ya how can I forget to mention the JB Anthem, man even as I write this, I am feeling the goosebumps :)

JB Rocks.
