I just wanted to wait till something like this came up to blog on this issue.. The story goes like this.. Shilpa goes to London to participate in Reality TV's show - The Big Brother -- which is known to make fun of its participants by all kinds of means ...There have been racist,sexual, feminist and all other kinds of allegations to this show over the past few years.. Mainly C-grade celebrities take part in this show for the prize money and publicity... Lot of celebrities have walked off the show vowing never to take part in that again... Under such circumstances, and when being offered a princely sum of 350000 pounds just for participation, our bollywood star should have understood that what was in store for her was not a cat-walk session.. And, to know about the credentials of participants in the show, do a google image search for "Jade Goody" , the main 'accused' in this so-called controversy.. and see what comes up in the first three pages.. ...

( New addition to the post - The scenes from GURU which were edited and removed ..Link :- http://www.ibnlive.com/videos/36051/guru-like-youve-never-seen-before.html ) Saw the latest 'Abhiwarya' flick - Guru - on saturday.. Really enjoyed it.. I'm not a great fan of AB - junior, but the way he has performed in this movie is just magnificent.. Its better than his role -- the la' Michael Corleone -- in Sarkar ... The sheer enthusiasm and energy that Abhishek brings to the role of Gurukant Desai ( Guru Bhai ) is too good.. Even at 33 , Aishwarya dances in a charming way. In the movie, Aish is left stranded at a railway station by her boyfriend who backs out of eloping at the final moment -- I wonder,if any guy would do that to Aishwarya :) . Ok, enough about that.. Coming back to the movie.. Yes, it is based on DhiruBhai Ambani's life no matter what they say with that standard disclaimer notice -- "...

( Disclaimer :- This post contains many terms familiar with CAT aspirants, unfamiliar with the common public... Please bear with it ) Well.. my hobnobbing with this fair lady has ended.. The scores were better, the sectionals were better, and may be I expected a lot based on TIME and CL verbal keys... Anyway ., thats the end of it... Looking back, it was in 2003 that I first tried this... In the first attempt, ( which I think was my best paper till date ) , my chances were runied by a guy called Ranjit Don who leaked up the paper and sold it for as high as 16 lakhs as per the news reports.. The retest didnt go well.. DI-LR was the main culprit that year... Second attempt in 2004 was a whitewash..Was not serious , was perhaps a bit carried away with my work in Oracle..etc, it was a big flop..Thats when I started studying well.. The third attempt was in 2005...After giving one of the toughest CAT-papers till date, I had a bit of hope..And that hope translated into a single IIMB call.. Pr...

Another year too coming to close.. Time is marching on. How was 2006 ? It had its own highs and lows... This year was very special to me ... It taught me a lot..I've begun to analyse myself much more...I've begun to appreciate the value and meaning of life much more... It had its own highs and lows... Jan - 2 was a high for me after eking out a call from B .. May - 9 was a low for me as I slipped out of their waiting list ... Another Jan - 2 in the reckoning.. I hope the ladyluck will be with me this time... Happy New Year to all... ( In Malayalam : Ellavarkkum ente Puthuvalsaraashamsakal ) Have a Gr8888 2007... Ajith

Have you ever faced abusive behaviour from Auto drivers ? 4. Have you ever seen an auto's meter running even if it is stopped at a signal ? If the answer to atleast one of the above questions is in affirmative , then checkout http://watch-auto.blogspot.com/ Move on if you don't care or feel nothing can be done ... Ajith

There seems to be a big void or vacuum in my life after CAT.. Till Nov-19 , I had lots and lots to prepare .. Now for the past one month, it has been nothing but reading some arbit books...Planning to get a Lappy soon. Any suggestions on how to go through the season till Jan - 2nd ? Every alternate day or so, I get back to the threadbare analysis of verbal questions and think about which institute has provided the right key..I've had enough of that. Now got to do something different... Ajith

Back to my favorite blogging topic -- Politics -- A sequence of events highlighted in media Date : Nov:29 : Baba Ambedkar's statue vandalised in Kanpur. Media reports indicate that it was beheaded. Immediate protests in UP, but police able to control the situation.. The detailed reports of the incident splurged across the nation by media. Date : Nov:30 : Angry protests rock Maharashtra. Stone pelting and rioting across the Marathwada region. Four dead, more than 60 injured as per the official estimates. Date : Nov:30 : Four coaches of Deccan queen torched by protesters. The burning coaches fuel disgust among the general public. Dates : Dec 1,2 : Blame game. .The uppermiddle class points the finger at police, Police blame the media, some people blame Dalits for getting into this hysteria ( if u can call that ), some blame politicians..This goes on. -- These are the main events that everyone came across..However, there is a backdrop to this. which was not highlighted very much...
