POWER is never given,its taken

           A concept in Consumer Behavior says, when the source of the message is powerful,the reaction of the receiver is compliance.This is exactly what happened in the class today.Prof Titus, who is known for being "a class apart" spoke about how some gurus pull you into things like "Art of Living" or how a smile can solve all problems.It was a ROFL session for the class.Simply because the source of the information was an amazing Professor whom my friend Yogesh calls "The Champ".

           I am spiritually inclined and I strongly believe in few Gurus.Yet I was among those who laughed at how foolish people can get.Though the session in class did not influence me in any way, it was a laughter riot only because I felt that "Ya whats wrong.THIS professor can say it" and I am sure this is the case with many of my classmates who were at the lecture today.So the long and short of the story is that the consumer behavior concept is perfect.Our Professor is such a powerful source that we had to comply.

Mumbai Masala !!!!

                Back in engineering,a professor of mine said "Never miss an opportunity to work in Mumbai if you get it,you will relish the experience for the rest of your life".No wonder !!

Its so fresh in my thoughts that I only have to close my eyes to see the Marine drive,the sky rises,the local trains,the sandwich and dabeli stalls,the fantabulous fashion sense and the amazing feeling that you are in MUMBAI.

           After knowing Bangalore for so long , the Mumbai jargon was too much to handle initially.Sometimes they said "town"and then"suburbs".I only put up this stupid smile when they said "Main toh central line par rehti hun".For a long time I thought it was an apartment like say MANTRI Central Line.Dont blame me.Thats how it is in Bangalore.I only knew the bollywood lingos of bidu,bhai n mamu.But there were so many more.At the end of everything nice ,they said "Fatte!!" and they promised saying "Aaishapat". Fashion hits that city first and for shopoholics, its a treat. If you have to know the importance of time,this is the place to be.Its 7 am and then suddenly its 10pm(Its more for those who enjoy the night life though).

           The city only made me sad when I saw thousands of people sleeping on platforms and so many more places you would never think of.There is a clear class divide in Mumbai.May be I dont want to use the word , its stark poverty.There are millions of people working in this most happening city and trying to make both ends meet.Just one thing that connects them all and is the same through out the city is the "ATTITUDE".Hats off to them! Thanks Mumbai , It was a pleasant stay.

Laakh Laakh Roz Aake Bas Jaate Hain

Is Sheher Is Dil Laga Ke Phas Jaate Hain

Sone Ki Raahon Mein Sone Ko Jaaga Nahi

"Ye hai BAMBAI NAGARIYA !!!!!"

"Yahan toh footpath bhi housefull hai"

 

                    

I dint go missing .....

Finally the day is here when I got the guts to tell Mr.Lazy & Procrastination that "Enough is enough".How long will you people rule over me?I better get back to my virtual social life :)

       Generally the process goes like this.I see something or feel for it and then decide to post it.Guess thats what happens to all bloggers(Not considering the "Just for the heck of it" crowd).But in the last few days the cloud of lethargy hugged me tight and refused to get rid of me.I had great experiences during the last few months, experienced a new city,compared it a million times with my Bangalore,thought for hours about why Mumbai is called the city that never sleeps and more than all this, I thought almost everyday that I will write about it in my blog.All these thoughts crossed my mind in the BEST buses of Mumbai and I left them back when I disembarked.Not that they need more reasons,but they still must be buzzing with my thoughts and ideas.So coming to the point...btw I dont have any.

Just that when Prof.Ray Titus said in class "I dont understand what makes you guys so lazy at this age?" .....Dimaag ki ghanti baj gayi !!!!

       This is a promise to my thoughts , ideas and brain waves that I l never let them just go and surely put them in words and a little something to my blog followers....Thanks people and WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MORE.
