Nexus-09 (& Ethnic Day-09)

-

The idea of wearing so called "ethnic" clothes and posing all day for photos doesn't excite me. However, to be in the spirit of celebration, I was forced to do it. You might be wondering I've completely lost my mind (because as I know everyone loves ethnic days in their colleges). But please stay with me. Deja Vu would explain my point perfectly. HAVE IMAGINATION PEOPLE!! . A friend of mine had suggested we do a 70's, the rock 'n' roll day. Good, this is what we should be doing...Think Hatke!! Having said that, things will always be conventional (and boring, mind you) and I see no reason to comment further.

If you had read my previous post, you might remember me mentioning about a fest, Nexus-09. It's our very own department fest, open only to the students of our college. It may seem like a small event, but trust me there is more to it than meets the eye. The "TO DO" list seems endless and none of the right boxes are crossed. I was appointed the coordinator for the Dumb Charades event and was told to give a music programme. For those of you who do not know, I play guitar. Two events and lot of loose ends to tie-up, we all had our work cut out. The inauguration was the most vital part of the event and required planning of the minutest of details. That hour was probably the most intense experienced by many involved. A sigh of relief after that and off to the events. The coordinators did the job on hand and there we had it, Nexus-09 was a success. I can’t say things went on smoothly, it would be unfair. We all had our share of arguments (guess I had the highest!!). There were however lots of things learnt from this, teamwork, planning, unity are a few worth mentioning. I have added a picture of the banner used for the fest. Hope you like it.

I am struggling to find a suitable ending, so let me keep it simple…until next time!!

From 'Have To' to 'Want To'

Ok, so this was a long time in the making.  One of the suggestions I got to keep fit was to start running everyday, or at least 4 times a week. It did not necessarily mean I had to torture myself or even blame myself for skipping a day or two. The idea behind it was to inculcate a sense of discipline that a gym would probably fail to since going to a specific place to be in shape gets boring after a while (probably). Running takes away the certainty from the equation which means there is always something new to look forward to.  Research has time and again showed us that we think a lot better when we are on the move. This explains why some of the greatest minds always took long walks while introspecting or just walking their peers through their ideas. To be honest, none of this made any sense in the beginning. A typical couch potato, I would refuse to step out for a breath of fresh air instead, utilising the time to re-watch some Dragonball Z, which could definitely have waite...

Of Stories, Conversations and Home

One of the best stories I've heard so far goes like this. In an island of great prosperity, there once lived a group of people who were self sufficient. While the elders went fishing in the morning or worked in fields, children went to school and in the evening, they would gather to talk about the day, celebrate their food, play, sing and dance. It was a harmonious environment that the so called 'modern' world would die to achieve. One day, a bunch of people in suits arrive in a bid to promote their business in this hugely prosperous land. The pitch goes like this - Instead of just fishing enough for your family, why don't you try to catch more and export them, make a ton of money, build a great port, send your children to schools around the world and put yourselves on the map? The locals go - Ok, so what next? To this, our man in the Armani cut suit says - After doing all this, sell all your boats, leave behind all the unnecessary things you bought when you w...

How Hard is it to Apple, Apple?

As someone who is curious about success stories, I laud Apple for their comeback in the computing world with the iPhone. Before you dismiss the article as a fanboy Writeup, my two cents would be to give it a read. This is a vague follow up to my previous post on how Blackberry and Nokia let me down with promI sing starts, but unsustainable ideas.  Without doubt, the iPhone is one of Apple's greatest achievements.  Most credit their marketing efforts to lure customers into buying them, making it a major source of revenue with iPads slowly declining in demand and iPods turning to legacy devices exclusively for fans or kids who cannot be handed over an iPhone. But this article shows how great marketing can only succeed with a great product and unified vision of a company.  While the Mac continues to innovate in it’s own space, there is little to no doubt that with the advent of Windows 10, the PC market is going to boom in the coming years and Microsoft’s reinvigorated focus...
