Tablet of happiness

Last week was very rigorous !! we were flowing together between different submissions and mid terms..Then surprisingly i got today's evening and night free !! I was so happy. I wanted to lot of things to do.. So i prepared one tablet of happiness and i took it with liquid of songs..Here is my report.. As I am under going managerial training, will write it in points.
1] i went to gym. Enjoyed cycling and weights and ultimately SHAVASAN !! (background was english rhythmic music)
2]Then i took my bicycle and went for cycling(1 hr). I went on one road going high up. I drive my cycle in 5 th gear !! enjoyed the pain. And then enjoyed flow while coming back on slope. (background was peaceful tunes !!)
3] I met some unknown person. I asked him some random things. He enjoyed chatting.
4] I saw one tree. I felt as if it is hanging in the sky !! (hihihi). I watched that one for 10 min.
5] then i came back. I called one of my friend, and went to Cafe coffee day !! (background loud music in cafeteria)
6] Then i wanted to go to temple. In between i helped one very old woman by giving money. Then i saw one cow very ill. I bought some banana's and tried to feed cow !!!
7] I came back and made one (bad ) painting in word paint !!
8] I heard summer of 69 and we will rock you in loud volume !!
9]I took bath for half an hr in hot water. Before than shaving and then that smell of after shave !!
10] I had full bottle of water after heavy exercise.
11] Then i did prayer on  "Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinaha"
12] I interpreted one of the good poem by Ravindranath Tagore.
13] Then i had pastries from cafe coffee days. Shared them with friends and had chat abt "Pune"
14] I came back and called one of my very old friend with whom i had no communication for long time.
15] I Dreamed abt one movie , in which father would take his son on world trip, and would teach real meaning of life through actual experiences !!!
15]Now writing this blog.
16 ] Going to watch Liverpool Vs Real madrid football match at 1.30

I wanted to share this with somebody. lot of people are around me. I can call any of my friends in pune. But still nobody is there. (background song is my fav lonely song so gaya..)

What is happiness ? I say all above as tablet because i did all that but on back of mind i was enjoying a dream of sharing all this experiences with friends. Real joy was of feeling of sharing. So it is tablet and not state of happiness !!

Ya , I will accept that now my battery is 100 percentage charged but then,

May god help me in achieving real state of happiness in future !!

2 by 2 matrix

One beauty of management education is that in any subject for most of the concept, their is choice of selecting one of the quadrant of 2 by 2 matrix.. It is all trade off and decision making. there will be two parameters with two values streched and 4 different styles !!
i got one great idea !! i will  collect all such 2 by 2 matrices from all the subjects and will put it together and will publish 200 page book "2 by 2 "..And under each page , i will put interpretation of that concept in  real life wihin 2 sentences.. !!
Vision statement for my shaolin school will be MANAGEMENT OF LIFE -  finding the conficts of free mind. Deciding the trade-off. washing all other quadrants and following your passion !! 

Let hope each one will able to implement above statement in their own life including me....

race is on....

Last two week whole batch was enjoying quite relax schedule very rare in their buzy b-school life..then came the news of bad CRP in campus.. People started feeling pressure..then came result for 2 nd term.. there were quite a few prof in 2 nd term , who gave very bad grades.. decrease in CQPI.. what to do now ? You can't imagine the atmosphere in our batch now. Next week is going to be reflection of all..I am dam sure atleast 10-20 people will be there , who will spend their whole week sleepless.. add on to that we have lot of submission and 4, big 4 midterms..I really feel scary by imagining the next week situation in Xl..
I feel lost in such environment.. How one B-school should be ? They should go to various places and should solve real problem.. If grades are out, nobody should even visit the office as actually study is not grades but something else. I know that people have taken loans and that is the reason why they feel pressure...but anyway according to me these people are of such catagories that resulted in action of taking 7 lakh loan and coming for mba education. My dream of education and what i am actually doing are completely different.. But i have to that.. for first year.From second year , i will study on my own way !!
I had imagined that my XL fellows would be each one diamond having high self efficacy and doing something different.. but there are very few like this.
Conflict and trade off are fancy terms to study in management education...But in real life , what a big role they are playing ? God, give me the power to choose right one..Ya, i will create my own school of shaolin were , i will learn all this.
Leaves and flowers are falling down.. Vasanta (most probably) has started.. What a beauty it is.. XL campus is really heaven.. Why cant we have some Bodhi tree class or JLT katta sessions ? there is great need of dynamism in XL..
Now philosophy is over.. I have a marketing and IR class.. Again back to study of such a  system that to lock the people than providing them freedom..?

again after long time !!

when u start writing after long days , it becomes difficult to write..there are so many things but all trying to go in back up and nothing nin catche ..:)
Recently important activities in life are - XL-IIMC meet cancelled because of shift of placement(global effect on local sport meet :)), conflicts about motivation and learning theme going through my mind, Chilka Sarovar travelling, reading Jungle book again, Sigma conference- vijay Mahajan speech, seniors placement and so on...
First time in six month i am in confused state- feeling the distance from Jnana Prabodhini..
I think manthan is going inside my mind. something will come out after one or two month..Everything going under turbulence, issue of emotional independancy, social entrepreneur Vs Faculty, some thing missing in life - dont know what ?..After this one month and 3 month summer, i am hoping that i will again in no question state..somebody in my college got job for 1600000...What really worth that ? I have seen people working 14-16 hrs and earning 50 rs...What is answer for this ? why it is like this ? And height is that people have ""services"" for serving these people during placement.. I cant do that... I dont understand that..
Good thing is that i can observe myself during all this and can laugh on myself watching as a third person..
One thing is clear, nobody can give answer to your queries. You have to find answers on your own.
