14th June 2008 – My first day in Pune and I vividly remember I hated it completely. Well not because I am a cynic but just because everything here compelled me to draw instant comparisons with Delhi.
Ideally I should have really liked Pune , considering it’s my birth city and also that my most amazing kindergarten days were spent here but I guess my fondness for Delhi was just too strong to even have an iota of liking for pune.
But I guess all things in life are pretty momentary and one doesn’t even realize the importance of something until its time to forgo that and move on. After having spent 2 wonderful years at Pune my heart aches to even think of moving out from here. Everything about pune seems so nice today, be it young crowd everywhere or the small eating joints at every nook and corner.
As prudence tells me that its time to bid adieu to Pune, my heart tells me stop here forever in the chirpy streets and the lively roads. This is one city which is quiet yet jovial, dull yet serene and slow yet fast paced.
It hits you slow but when it does it totally immerses you in itself.
From F.C road to koregaon park to M.G road , each place here is special because each one of them has given me beautiful memories which will be cherished for a long time.
Besides all of this I guess SIMS added another dimension to my fondness because its place where anyone can feel at home , and I surely did.
Its hard to believe I am here for a few days only , but no matter what I am gonna keep coming back, coz if Delhi is home Pune is home away from home

Lessons Learned At Sims( Personal Experience) :P
2 Years at Sims have been the most eventful years of my life...it seems as if i have seen it all and as if i am ready to take on anything in life on....nothing could have been better than this...nothing could have been worse
The Lessons learned are:
1. Always Expect the unexpected ( Read time tables, assignments and obviously grades)
2. You are your own Best Friend ( Very self explanatory)
3. Impossible is nothing( Falling in love, rising in love :P)
4. Do it, but don't get caught( bunk, cheat,bitch etc)
5. The best time to start a new assignment is 'tomorrow'(Which obviously never comes)
6. When your ass is on fire, your efficiency is higher(Doing an entire semester's syllabus in one night)
7. Your first friends are never your last friends.
8. Its never too late to move on in life
9. Savor every bit of your MBA coz after this you may never get this amazing time unless you decide to quit working and raise children
10. Grades don't matter, Grey matter does.
11. You needn't be wise, just be smart.
This is just a snapshot of a lot of big and small things that i learned at this wonderful place which has given me some amazing memories as well as good lessons about life.

Height of Vellapanti, i swear...sigh !!!!!
Last three days i have been getting utterly irritated with the numerous text messages and emails wishing me a happy hug day, chocolate day and god knows what not.
It just disgusts me that now we all need days to give hugs to people we care for, make promises to our loved ones on a specific day or to gift chocolates as a token of love.
I wouldn't be surprised if we will soon hear of a day that will celebrate break ups between couples. But more than than this what's worse is the fact these days have become more like publicity gimmicks rather than having any emotional appeal attached to it. I mean why do we need a day to go and apologize to people??
It's not as if we don't do that on that particular day the apology will hold no value. Moreover i would love to know the brain behind all this who has conspicuously thought of all these days to add spice in people's life.
The biggest disappointment behind all this are the people who form unions to curb all these celebrations.Why on Earth are they concerned whether someone is hugging someone else, why do they bother if couples believe in expressing their love publicly on a particular day??
They have no right or authority to threaten people if they choose to celebrate something they believe in.
It's shameful that so many of us indulge ourselves either in encouraging all these totally 'velli' activities but worse are those who on the name moral policing go around brandishing anything and everything that they feel doesn't gel with their ideology.
We are a nation of more than a billion people and their are huge number of issues which need to be addressed and getting engaged in such petty skirmishes just depict our mental blocks and that how stuck up we all are
Seriously, for once lets just Grow up.
