A Hyderabadi on the road.
It some time looks stranger than fiction when a Hyderabadi while driving on the road feels that he is the 'king of the road' and the traffic rules are meant (only )to be broken, so don't ever cross the path of a Hyderabadi when he is on the move. In case if you cross his path, he invariably tries to get into an argument as if 'raking up a fight is in the blood' of Hyderabadi.Even if he is wrong, as the proverb goes "barking dogs seldom bites", he tries to get you by neck but the crowd around him stops him by holding his hands while he vainly tries to get his hand over you (a Hyderabadi seldom gets into fitscuffs )so don't worry you won't be beaten but you have to bear the choicest abuses in the Hyderabadi slang.
The Potti Patana Hyderabadi
So far so good, the other aspect of a hyderabadi life style or rather estyle is "potti patana". It is the favorite pastime for some while for others it is a fulltime job. A Hyderabadi would try all the tricks in the book and outside the book to get hold of the woman of his dreams. With the girls of the generation next it is "potta patana hai". If people in rest of India were carried over by the movie "Hyderabad Blues" that it is taboo for guys and girls to be seen in public together,then they are going to have a culture shock if they come to Hyderabad.So don't believe those confused desh returned non-real Indian (NRIs).If you don't believe me have a dhekko on the Necklace Road -the scene would put to shame even the overly romantic French.
Bindaas Batein
The bindaas attitude of Hyderabadis is personified in the numerous cafes of the city where in you get to see a whole lot of bindaas Hyderabadis sipping tea for hours together. One might wonder as to how these people have all the time in the world to indulge in such long sessions. There is so much of time available with folks over here that at times you have to literally ask them to go for want of peace.
The filmi Hyderabadi
Hyderabad has got the maximum number of theatres in India thanks to this vast bindaas population of the city. Can you believe that a small cross road over here boasts of almost one dozen theatres which are just a stone throw away from each other. Mind you, you will still have to buy the tickets in black over here. Most pictures run for over 100 days and people take hell a lot of pride in talking about the movies. "Kya picture hai baap". "Picture tho mast hai". The advance booking is over even before it actually begins.
Hyderabadi Baitak
Leave alone weekends, the "baitaks" over here are the order of even the weekdays. whenever a group of men meet together then its three cheers to their friendship and the corks are in the air. If pubs were given permission over here, then Hyderabad for sure would have one in every other lane. The best part is any good or bad, wonder or catastrophe, in this world is appended with a four letter slang word at the starting. The more you write the lesser it will be about the Hyderabadi baitaks.
The height of Hyderabadis
The bindaas attitude of Hyderabadis can very easily be tested by asking them just two questions. All that one has to do is just get on to a bus stand on the road and just pick up a friendly conversation with a typical Hyderabadi and ask him as to when the next bus would come. The instant reply you would get is "Abhi ata" (it will come just now). You wait and wait and the bus never comes and you ask him when it would come and he will say again the same thing. Meanwhile you would have wasted an hour or so waiting for the bus to come. Actually when an Hyderabadi says "Abhi ata", do take it for granted that it would come an hour or two later. On the other hand if you ask him as to when the last bus passed by ,he would say "Abhi gaya"(it just went), while in reality it would have left hours back.

I want to ride them all...
Ever since I saw Terminator T-800 Arnie ride one of those cool Harley Bike I fell in love with the bike. The bike in the movie Fatboy 91 model was my first view of what a cruiser bike was and sound of its beat was a music to any of the American bikers.
Best scene from the movie:
The tune "Bad to the Bone," the camera pans up showing Arnie fully dressed in the bruised biker's leather clothes. As he swings his leg over the biker's wheels, another biker appears at the diner's door with a shotgun, threatening that he can't take the man's bike. The cyborg turns and coldly stops, sets the bike's kickstand, and walks over to the guy. He quickly yanks the 10-gauge shotgun from the man, closes in, and then snatches the man's sunglasses from his shirt pocket. He puts them on and then takes off on the Harley.

Nearly 13 years later I some how got closer to Indian Version of Harley the Royal Enfield Mini Bullet a 350cc bike, bulky and sturdy and yes lots of nice with classic vintage moulding and looks. It's gears and the brakes are interchanged making it that much difficult to control the Indian monster.
I had the privilege of using this bike for over 2 months during my summer vacation in 2005. After riding the bike and coming back to my stream lined Victor was a big drop. I suddenly felt my bike very light, free hands, almost silent, and I could easily maneuver through the gaps in-between. I miss the bike.
Anways during my MBA time I have been a lot many bike reports and cases. We did Splendor for Marketing Management, Marketing Research and Brand management, ad we did Yamaha a case and bike buying behaviour in Consumer Behaviour which ultimately sparked off an interest and dream to drive a higher cc sports bike apart from a Harley(V Twins or V Rods) or an Indian chief or a Big Dog. I wanna drive A sports-street bike in excess of 600cc preferably a Ducati, Kawasaki, BMW or a Honda.
Say a 600cc Honda CBR600RR or Yamaha R6, Suzuki GSX-R600, Ducati 749, and the Kawasaki ZX-6R. All of these babies cost in excess of 10000 USD, and will equally pick my pocket for every jolly ride. About the punch of these bikes there was a time not long ago when the middleweight sportbike class was a good place for newbies to cut their teeth. But for 2003, with 1/2km times that would embarrass any supercar one can care to mention, top speeds that reach upward of 160 miles per, and racetrack lap times that would scare a full-blown superbike from barely more than a decade ago, the [sportbikes] gathered here have limits that only the experienced can exploit.
I would love to lay my hands on any 1000cc 6 cylinders 5000+rpm bikes. I wanna hear the roar, feel the power and that bit of instant acceleration compared to a space shuttle take-off. Though I have to cautious enough not to throw myself off due to the high rpm spin. Yet I can't wait for that day ...Lets pray...wait...nd vroommmmm

Strange things happen ....
. As I woke up I realized that a lot has changed, my house is deserted with rooms empty but the hall filled with lots of books (of my brothers collection - don't know how he had the collection). In one of the rooms was my old Desky sitting over and covered with dust. Everything looks so scary and strange. I open the shelves they too are empty, looks like our home has been empty for long time. I go back to my college I need to attend SEPM class today. As I hurry in I see all new faces now faculty everything is new. As I enquire it was PGP11 something class.
Now how the hell did that happen, I have no clue. I go to PGP office I found no Vinod, no Jyotish or Sadanand or even John I find a lady there in place of Vinod, I enquire her, what's going on, only then I realise that all my PGP08 batchmates have passed out and its been 3 years now. I am still to complete my course.
What happened to me last night it was ok now I woke up 3 years later. Last night I was working for my BDC term paper, made some 18 pages of crap on Netbanking then slept off at around 3.33. I slept that dreadful night only to slip into a long comma. My parents waited for my recovery and left for my brothers place in US now, I am all alone I don't know about Poo and her numbers. Tried to trace my closest friend Madhu even that didn't bear any fruit. Everything is so scary. Any ways I still had to complete my classes so go sit for one
on SEPM. He was asking for a submission. That night I start analysing and do a report and next day in class I submit, I was among 40% of the class to submitted rest took it lightly, I and prof vert equally surprised. I remember submitting the report on West Coast on Military B2B softwares. All through I m being haunted by images of past which I can't correlate. My house looks tall with roof with false ceilings taken awy. Much of the house empty. I have no one to ask and get reply. Then some elderly couple do come to pick up some books from the hall I can't recognise them nor them. Anyways I am still trying hard to recollect. My old mate my Talking clock said its 8 o'Clock am, so sweet to hear my old pal which so loyally has been reporting time all through my school life till date. I wondered why it didn't report time the next morning. I am confused and still thinking hard..Now my Talking clock said its 10 o'Clock am...I just woke up and realised I was dreaming ...I m still thinking what's this all about!!!
Its just woke been 5 minutes back, 30 more minutes for closure of Mess breakfast now,today one of my Fav on campus Rava Upma. I can't wait to have it, but still I felt this is important to write it down before I forget.
I had the strangest dream in my years...Will try to fit in what it meant

Five Point Someone - What Not to do at IIT, by Chetan Bhagat
If one is an an IITian, one would probably relate very well to this light-hearted narrative about the life of three average guys at the IIT, Delhi. And also gave a chance to let me know what an average IITian is !! . Being in IIM with lots of friends from IITsI was wondering how true are the incidents or probability of occurance of such things . I was truly shocked and awestruck when I realised people and young student are letting away their most constructive period of life into evils of mankind in the name of fun and cheap shortcuts for success. The book may be about life in IIT, but the characters are so unreal for me, I have to agree I have been a frog in the well still I feel its very un-IIT like. According to the author, Chetan Bhagat, this book is not about how to get into IIT or what to do once you are in, but what not to do there.
Bhagat creates three tolerable characters Hari, Ryan and Alok, who blunder through their four years at IIT, caught in the grip of their own failures, fears and the inability to fight a system designed to keep the underdog down under. Hari, a boy with a disciplinarian military father and a stuttering to authority problem, Alok with a physically dysfunctional father and a neurotic mother embedded in middle class poverty, and Ryan with an alienated family far away from him in foreign lands and a picture perfect body that houses an inquisitive and innovative rebel, form an improbable threesome which quickly results into a plausible camaraderie. They bonded on ragging day and in spite of the ups and downs bad results, fights, misunderstandings, troubles, love affairs, show downs in class, confrontation with professors become best friends who share their smokes, booze, porn and assignments.
One of the highest points of the novel is the way Ryan comes up with fool proof ways of defeating the system, only to be proved a fool himself. His C2D Cooperate to Dominate is perhaps one the most hilarious bits in a novel that tries too hard to be funny and fails spectacularly at it. Hari has a love affair and author adds all the masala and all the take to the heels scenes and I am intelligent HOD. Alok's attempts at rising above the poverty and despair he's living in and tries to be "family kaa bhoj utaanelwaala". Ryan's constant attempts at creating a family out of his friends in order to substitute his biological family are repetitive and not fairly described.
The novel is so keen on telling the story & functionally tells the story without letting us enter either the characters or their situations in detail. The plot outline is bare enough Hari falls in love with Neha, Ryan falls in love with his work which is independent of itself and Alok falls in love with ghee smeared paranthas (wat are those heard Parathas). In a desperate attempt to improve their situations in life they try many strategies which would allow them to enjoy life ; movies, girls, eating out, squash, booze parties.
However, worst of the story was disastrous attempt at Operation Pendulum stealing examination papers to come out with flying colours and getting caught at it. The DISCO - promises to ruin their lives forever when in a sudden twist things fall into place and three five point some people live happily ever after. It's very wrong that Bhagat t makes these three losers become heroes and how they rise above the system to come into their own might is what Five Point Someone is all about.
Five Point Someone, like its protagonists, is just fairly acceptable and not worth a second read. There is nothing memorable or particular in the novel that will want you to pick it up. Five Point Someone is like a cheap Bollywood movie that makes its money simply because it was cheap.
This has been only book (novel) I read in years nd years 270pgs of it in 8hrs something. The book made me glues to it all through coz of 1.Neha episode 2. Are they gonna become winners 3.How are they gonna turn things around
But the book made the characters from bad to worse.Situations deteriorated..from boozing to smoking joints, plotting leaking the exams..It poisons the mind of young readers though its supposed to be fun accepting such habits and culture in top institutes like IITs is turning a blind eye to degradation of culture.
Young people like us have to be constantly fed with constructive literature which can help him become a positive person capable of turning round the country. Taking drugs, borrowing western habits and culture, have prejudices towards the system, taking things into own hands, language etc etc ..I hated the book a lot and that's why I read it...People have to make sure that things don't get publicity and are contained tight. Everyone have to ensure that youth of India need to have a positive upbringing in Life and for that they need to be guided by positive and inspirational books unlike Sidney Sheldons, Chetan Bhagats etc...

Mood: Gloomy--Worried --- Confused
Today seems like one of the worst mood swings ever I had in quiet some time. This was just round the corner after the incident on Nov 8th. Nov 8th was the best days this term nd the very next day turned out to be the inroad to a very bad phase. Poorni got a job on 7th nice one, hope it make her more secure. I went shopping next day got her some stuff nd mailed it on 9th. I also got a trendy looking pair of glasses worth 1100/-(now that's on a high side by my standards)
Now for the bad part, I went for delivery of my glasses and Suman's on 10th. I had planned my lunch at Raahat (thats'z the new place I & Suman dinned on 8th). I firstly was made to wait for good 20min before even taking a order, then was served chilly Beef which I unknowingly took it (aawww...Considering am Veggie this is unacceptable to me). Then to the delivery Suman happened to have got a bumper lottery he got a new CRC (colour reflection coat) without even paying for the same. Wherein he ordered only a plain white glass. Then on my way back I was almost runover by a frenzy bus driver who nearly took me out on the entire road breadth. Had Came back shaken completely that day only to get another shock.
I've taken some short positions in the stock market which I wasn't able to close as I was out and moreover the net on the campus was down. This lead to huge loss for me due to this debabckles. Later I got laid by 8500/- 41% loss due to me being fined for short delivery. This too happened on 10th.One more thing came as shocking discovery , a revelation by chak. fact that I was actually loosing money by holding stocks with Kotakon Margin. I was being charged 18% per day on 5400 for good 20 days with I not even realising. What ever went into my Kotak account never seems to come back.
Next the bad set of consequences of 8th spilled over. As Mads wld put it, we patched up..I hardly can put it that way. It was only but getting worse. We had major differences on working for a ER paper on Pantaloons. I was planning to divide time nd devote to write three ER paper spanning across 7 days ultimately the plan had to suffice. I am a sort of person who needs some moral backup & understanding. I was pinned down by so many of her suggestions which I can't take in. I say let them come but be it in a neat fashioned way. And as my belief goes " how can one preach without oneself practicing". I only believe in practicing first before preaching. Thats why I try to carve my character in the same fashion and try to reflect, associate the same to others.
Nov 12th onwards our group was continuously being scrutinized by BMPP faculty here for the work we put on Hero Honda. Seeing the commitment levels of our group what else I can deliver. I had to resort to last minute firefigthing (I hate such a thing) & I gave a report of 35 pages something wherein majority of group members gave no more than a page report maximum being 4 pages. One particular member PremChand didn't even bother to complete his part of work, never even bothered to confirm, verify the same.. This guy made sure that our group got the least grade in BDC too. On 16th we met the faculty at his Guest House and requested and promised that we would deliver more appropriate more (meaning more work for me). I got to work for 2 days nd 2 nights nd put a completely revamped report. Am yet to get his feedback. Will have to meet him again on Saturday and decide on the presentation.
IIFT Street was another mess. One night one of the nights(16th)we have no net connection and ultimately had to miss the entire round and chance of even thinking of winning this event. I dreamt of completing all the securities ( Forex, Equities, cldn't beat it in Commodities). As it wasn't enough the server access to the site was too pathetic and any times rounds pased by without us even getting through the orders. Apart from IIFT Street I cldn't even sit to compete for ITopia that night hosted the elimination phase.
As not enough the woos continue today. Mads is gone bonkers, Overheard mods dico on Brahminism when I wanted to talk something on this met shift resistance and some weird mental projection which has upset me for me entire day. I hope I become more self-centric from now on..more into myself..more me ..more into a shell and be self liniment-being from now on rather than looking for support.
I hated mads behaviour ...can't take it anymore..I hate this phase of term..I feel like loosing my balance of mind. Today I am also feeling dizzy today coz of migraine. And worst I am not able to any of my friends who surely think I am crazy(true) nor to Poorni else I would burning a bigger hole in my already drained pockets by calling her, also I don't want to spoil her independance and happiness.
I need to stay focused and look beyond, Priortise and come into action...God almighty give me Strength for everything ..I want u by my side I m in tears while writing this...I hope you understand ...Sorry for last Saturday..I kindaa ignored you, missed the day. I believe that the events of this week were on the backdrop of that visit. I will surely do the things I thought off this month.

My personality(fun)
| My Birthdate: September 27 |
 I am a spiritual soul - a person who tries to find meaning in everything. I spend a good amount of time meditating, trying to figure out life. Helping others is also important to me. I seem to enjoy social activities with that goal. I am very generous and giving ? Yet I expect very little in return. My strength: Getting along with anyone and everyone My weakness: Needing a good amount of downtime to recharge My power color: Cobalt blue My power symbol: Dove Your power month: September |
| My Heart Is Blue |
 Love is a doing word for me. I know it's love when I treat each other well. I am a giving lover, but don't give too much, andexpect something in return. My flirting style: Friendly My lucky first date: Lunch at an outdoor cafe My dream lover: Is both generous and selfish What I bring to relationships: Loyalty |
Anyways blue happens to be my fav colour
| My Brain's Pattern |
 My brain is always looking for the connections in life. I always try amaze your friends by figuring out things first. I am also good at connecting people - and often play match maker. I see the world in fluid, flexible terms. Nothing is black or white. |
| My Power Color Is Gold |
 I am engrossed in passions that mentally stimulate myself. At my Lowest: I seek thrills and neglect what's important in my life. In Love: I see dating as adventure and approach it with an open attitude. How am I Attractive: You passion for life makes others passionate about you. My Eternal Question: "Am I Having Fun?" <---True :-) |
| My Sleeping Position Says |
I am calm and rational. I am also giving and kind - a great friend. I am easy going and trusting. However, I seem to be too sensible to fall for mind games. |
| I am 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish |
However, I don't actively fight them. |
| My Ideal Relationship is Casual Dating |
 Maybe you're looking for love... But mostly you're looking for fun. I could get serious with the right person. For now, though, I am enjoying playing the field. |
| My Seduction Style: Prized Object |
 The seduction game I play is tried, true, and still effective: hard to get. I know that the best seducers turn the tables - and get their crush to seduce them. The one running has the power, and I am a challenge that is worth the chase. I a master of enticing and pulling back. Giving a little and taking some away. I am controlled enough to know rewards come after a long seduction dance. Even though I want to call, email, or say "I love you" first - I don't! My style is the perfect mix of hot and cold - so much so that I have many suitors. Think Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's ... or any of those creepy guys from the Bachelor. I am skilled at inspiring a chase. The real test is picking the person to slow down for. |
| How am I "In Love" |
 I in love quickly and easily. And very often. I tend to give more than take in relationships. I tend to get very attached when I am with someone. I want to see my love all the time. I love my partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change. I stay in love for a long time, even if I am not loved back. When I fall, I fall hard. |
| I am Balanced - Believer - Powerful |
I feel my life is controlled both externally and internally. I have a good sense of what I can control and what I should let go. Depending on the situation, I sometimes try to exert more control. Other times, I accept things for what they are and go with the flow. I am a true believer in luck, fate, and karma. I believe that life is a game of chance - not a game of skill. I either consider myself very unlucky or very lucky. No matter what, I don't feel like I can change the hand I dealt. When it comes to who's in charge, it's ME!!. Life is a kingdom, and am the grand ruler. I don't care much about what others think. But they better care what I think! |
My World View |
I claim to be a realist or even a cynic. In realty, I am are more emotional, romantic, and truthful. I tend to life in a fantasy world and avoid reality. If I amnot living a happy life, the cause is within myself. Born rebel with a trace of spoiled child about me. I value truth above morality, but am reasonably tolerant of those who disagree with me. |
| Slow and Steady |
 My friends see me as painstaking and fussy. They see me as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if I ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment. They expect me to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it. |
| Your Blog Should Be Red |
 My blog is full of intensity and passion. I am are very opinionated - and people love or hate you for it. I have the potential to be both a famous and infamous blogger. |
Classic Lover
The Classic Lover45% partner focus, 42% aggressiveness, 35% adventurousness
Based on the results of this test, it is highly likely that:
I prefer my romance and love to be traditional rather than daring or out-of-the-ordinary, I would rather be pursued than do the pursuing and, when it comes to physical love, I concentrate more on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about my performance. This places me in the Lover Style of: The Classic Lover. The Classic Lover is a wonderful Lover Style, and is the closest it comes to the classic images of the princess in the tower, or the romantic and chivalrous knight, or the hero/heroine from a Disney film. The Classic Lover is a treasure to find, though it can be difficult to do so because they sometimes tend to be shy and/or difficult to successfully court. In terms of physical love, the Classic Lover again can be shy, and often needs more in terms of emotional security to feel comfortable than some of the other Types. Given the right setting, and the right lover, the Classic Lover can be a delight in bed. Best Compatibility can probably be found with: The Romantic Lover (most of all) or the Devoted Lover, or the Liberated Lover.

7 Trading Mistakes one shouldnot make
I learnt the following the hard way!
MISTAKE ONE
Lack of Knowledge and No Plan
It amazes us that some people expect to trade the stock market successfully without any effort. The stock market is not the place for the ill informed. But learning what you need is straightforward – you just need someone to show you the way.
The opposite extreme of this is those traders who spend their life looking for opportunity of trading! Been there, done that!
The truth is, there is sitter. But the good news is that you don't need it. Our trading system is highly successful, easy to learn and low risk.
MISTAKE TWO
Unrealistic Expectations
Many traders expect to make thousands by next week. Or they start to write out their resignation letter before they have even placed their first trade!. The stock market can be a great way to replace your current income and for creating wealth but it does require time. Not a lot, but some.
So don't tell your boss where to put his job, just yet! Other beginners think that trading can be 100% accurate all the time. Of course this is unrealistic. But the best thing is that with our methods one needs to get 50-60% of your trades "right" to be successful and highly profitable.
MISTAKE THREE
Listening to Others
When traders first start out they often feel like they know nothing and that everyone else has the answers. So they listen to all the news reports and so called "experts" and get totally confused. Taking "tips" from their buddy, who got it from dabaa walaa…
Get to judge your instincts and do your home work and never have to listen to anyone else, ever again!
MISTAKE FOUR
Getting in the Way
By this we mean letting your ego or your emotions get in the way of doing what you know you need to do.
When you first start to trade it is very difficult to control your emotions. Fear and greed can be overwhelming. Lack of discipline; lack of patience and over confidence are just some of the other problems that we all face.
It is critical you understand how to control this side of trading. There is also one other key that almost no one seems to talk about. But more on this another time!
MISTAKE FIVE
Poor Money Management
It never ceases to amaze us how many traders don't understand the critical nature of money management and the related area of risk management.
This is a critical aspect of trading. If you don't get this right you not only won't be successful, you won't survive!
Fortunately, it is not complex to address and the simple steps we can show you will ensure that you don't "blow up" and that you get to keep your profits.
MISTAKE SIX
Only Trading Market in One Direction
Most new traders only learn how to trade a rising market. And very few traders know really good strategies for trading in a falling market.
If you don't learn to trade "both" sides of the market, you are drastically limiting the number of trades you can take. And this limits the amount of money you can make.
We can show you a simple strategy that allows you to profit when stocks fall.
MISTAKE SEVEN
Overtrading
Most traders new to trading feel they have to be in the market all the time to make any real money. And they see trading opportunities when they're not even there (we’ve been there too).
We can show you simple techniques that ensure you only "pull the trigger" when you should. And how trading less can actually make you more!
Stages of evolution of a trader (as I m going through and observed others go through).Trading normally comes in these steps.
1. Try to predict the market
2. Failure
3. Overlaying indicators to predict the market.
4. Failure
5. Chopping and changing strategies to predict. (Gann, candles Fibonacci usually become part of the vocabulary at this point)
6. Failure
7. Seeking/creating a profitable trading system.
8. Failure to trade it with discipline.
9. Failure
10. Failure
11. Failure
