Diary 184: Extreme Time pass day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. I woke up today at around 9:30 pm. I had my breakfast and went online. No one was online and there was no new work also, so I just relaxed and started watching the latest episodes of CSI:Miami and Dexter. Meanwhile, I decided to send a new design related to the website and let them know about my idea of the design.Later, I had my lunch at around 2:00 pm. After the lunch, I watched the TV for a while, and then moved back to my room. I was feeling very sleepy and so I had a nap till 5:30 pm. At 5:30 pm, I attended the status call through skype installed in my IPod and then went on to watch TV for a while. I had some Tea and watched some interesting shows on Discovery till 8:30 pm around. Then I started watching KBC and later left for gym at around 9:30 pm. Today was cardio day and I returned home at around 10:30 pm. After a bath, I had my post work out dinner. Today, I also came to know that Janani got the 10th rank in the state administrative exam. I got in touch with her after a long time. Anyways, I came back and started researching about the Voter's ID card thing due to immense pressure by my Dad. I came to know about the details of registering and applying for a Voter's ID card. Then, I wrote this diary and realized that I didn't write one yesterday. Well, anyways yesterday was not much different from today. I will watch some movie now, and will sleep by 3:30 am or so.

Diary 183: Timepass and Cricket Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:00 am. I woke up today at around 12:30 pm. I brushed my teeth, had my breakfast and then went online. I realized there was nothing to work on, and so I started watching random videos and all. After that, I wasted my time playing solitaire. Later, I had my lunch at around 2:30 pm. After that I decided to watch some movie. I narrowed down the list to a movie named "Win Win". I started watching it, but I played solitaire also in between. Later in the evening, it was time for the only T20 match between India and England. Well, it was disastrous for India right from the beginning. Nobody seemed to settle down properly. In the end, India were only 120/9 in their 20 overs. England chased that down easily with an over to spare. Later, I went to gym at around 9:30 pm. I returned home at around 10:25 pm, took a bath and then watched "Dadagiri", where I managed to answer a few googly questions. Later, I had my post work out dinner and moved back to my room. I wrote this diary, and now I plan to finish off the movie and then sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 182: General timepass and No Gym Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:30 am. Today I woke up at around 10:30 am. I brushed my teeth and went online. I noticed that there have been several issues regarding the code that we sent few days back. So, we started working on that. My portion of the work was not much and so I completed it quickly and took a rest. Then, I started watching the latest episodes of BBT and Castle. Later, I had lunch at around 2:15 pm. After the lunch, I wasted my time playing solitaire and watching random youtube videos. Later in the evening, I had some Tea and started watching TV. Then, I moved to my room and started looking for alternatives for my Phone. Today I inserted my phone's sim to my mother's phone because my phone had no memory to handle the processes. Anyways, I started watching TV again at around 9:30 pm. Today, there was no gym on the occasion of Bhai Dooj. I had my dinner then and continued watching TV till 11:10 pm. Then, I moved to my room, browsed random sites and then started writing another test. The test ended around 2 and a half hours later. It was terrible again especially the verbal section. Now, I plan to sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 181: Bhai Dooj and Time pass day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:30 am. I took another test and it was disastrous. Today I woke up at around 12:30 pm. I brushed my teeth, and went online. My mom needed some stuff from the market, so I left for the market after my breakfast. I came back and it was already the time for lunch. Today was bhai dooj and so my mom prepared puri and chana. I had my lunch and then moved to my room. Later, I decided that I will take another test. So, I took the test and finished at around 6:00 pm. The test was easier, and so I scored good especially in the quant section. Then, I had some Tea and started watching the TV. Later, I started searching for reviews and results regarding Ra.One. I was having more fun reading the reviews about it than watching the movie itself. I loved it. Later, my sister and I complied with the bhai dooj rituals somehow, and laughed throughout the process. Anyways, later I drank black coffee and left for the gym. Today was cardio day and it was tiring. I walked on 12% incline without holding the handle, which made things very hard. I returned home and had my dinner. Dinner was special too - Chicken Biryani. So, I had my mouthful of it and enjoyed it a lot. A proper stomach full food after a long time. I watched the TV then, and moved to my room later. I wrote this diary, and now I plan to study or move to bed. I plan to sleep latest by 2:30 am.

Diary 180: Ra.One disaster and Diwali day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. I will not even mention how the test went. Anyways, today I woke up at around 10:30 am, and was up to get ready to watch the 11:30 show of Ra.One. Well, I ate my breakfast and left for the movie. I met divyansh after few months. He acknowledged that I have lost weight and then we went in. Well, I don't know how to say it, but this movie is the worst movie ever made. SRK's everything was bad, and I didn't expect this much even in my worst nightmares. Anyways, after the horrific 3 hours at the theater, we came out and had some burgers in McD. Then, I dropped Divyansh at his house. I came back, explained the story to my sister and then started watching the TV. There were some interesting shows going on regarding parallel universes and all. Later, I had some Tea and watched the recap of India's world cup semi-final win against Pakistan. Later, in the evening, I wished happy diwali to few of my friends and then had some nice chats with them. I was also lashing out my anger over Ra.one on twitter. I was surprised to see some people who actually liked the movie. Anyways, next I wrote this diary, and now I have to go to the puja pandal to eat the prasad. Later, I plan to come back and study, and sleep by 4:30 am.

Diary 179: Job and Series White Wash Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. I took another test and as usual it was disastrous. Today I woke up at around 11:00 am. I got a call from Sarvesh regarding some locked mapping but it was not locked my me. I brushed my teeth, and went online. I had my breakfast and then started working on some pending work. I completed it pretty early and then I started loading the latest episodes of TAHM, HIMYM and Gossip Girl. Meanwhile, Divyansh and I decided to go for a movie tomorrow. We narrowed down to Ra.One and that too the cheap morning show. I booked the tickets through bookmyshow and forwarded the mail to Divyansh. Later, I had my lunch at around 2:40 pm. I started watching the match between India and England that time. After lunch, I started multi-tasking between work and the match. India started off quietly but then lost three wickets in quick succession. Somehow, due to some late hitting by Dhoni, India managed to reached 271 in their 50 overs. Raina contributed too. We had a client call at around 5:30 pm, where we informed them that everything is complete except for one issue. Later, I again started watching the match. England were off to a fantastic start. At one point they were 129/0 in about 20 overs. Suddenly they collapsed like pack of cards and were all out for 176. India took the revenge for the England series. White wash it is. Dhoni was the man of the series and Jadeja was the man of the match. I left for Gym after that. It was cardio day. I returned home at around 10:30 pm, and then took a bath, and had my post work out meal. Then, I wrote this diary. Now I plan to study and then sleep at around 3:30 am.

Diary 178: Work and Timepass Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:15 am. I took another test and scored good in Quant but didn't clear the cut off in Verbal. Today I woke up at around 10:20 am. I got a call from Sarvesh straightaway, where he asked about the updates from my side. After that, I brushed my teeth, and went online. I started working on the pending tasks and was in constant touch with Sarvesh regarding the updates. I completed my work and started watching the latest episodes of CSI:Miami and Dexter. I had my lunch at around 2:45 pm, and then again started working. The multi-tasking went on till afternoon. We had a call with the client at around 5:30 pm, where we got our doubts cleared. After that, I started working again on some new task. At around 8:30 pm, I had some paani puri followed by my pre work out dinner. At around 9:30 pm, I left for gym. Today, a new work out card was issued to me. Today was unfortunately the work out day. I got some new exercises to handle. All consisted of dumbbells, and my arms were screaming after the exercises. I returned home at around 10:50 pm, and had a bath followed by post work out dinner. Then, I wrote this diary. Now, I plan to study and then sleep by 3:30 am. Also, today was my grandfather's birthday and we all wished him.

Diary 177: ISB and Cricket Day

Yesterday I slept at around 5:00 am. I took another test and still no relief. Anyways, today I woke up at around 11:00 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. I mailed Sarvesh and Rohit that I had completed my part of the work, and now it is up to them. Then, I took a bath and got ready to leave for the ISB PGP Info session at Cuffe Parade (near CST). I left with my mom and dad, as they were leaving for some minor shopping. I boarded the train from CBD, and then reached CST at around 2:15 pm. I reached the hotel at around 2:30 pm, and got myself seated there. I found a few familiar faces there but I didn't bother them. The session was very good, and I came to know something new about the placements at ISB i.e. how the companies are approached and how the salary negotiations take place. Also, the notion of international placements was clear. Meanwhile, there was a match going on between India and England, not very far away from where I was. But, after the session, I left for home, and reached home at around 6:20 pm. On the way, I had one burger and Veg pizza mcpuff from McDonald's. About the match, India were able to regain control after the initial outburst by England, and restricted England to only 220. I started watching the match then. India didn't start off that well, and lost 3 wickets in no time. But Virat and Raina pulled things back, and led India to another victory, making the lead 4-0 in this series. Then, I left for gym. Today was Cardio Day. I came back, and had a bath. Then, I wrote this diary, and next I plan to study, and sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 176: More Work and Time Pass Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:20 am. I took a test and was devastated by the result. Anyways, today I woke up at around 11:15 am. Today was more or less a boring day. I brushed my teeth, went online, replied to few of the mails sent by the client, and then started watching YouTube videos. Also, today was Divyansh's birthday, so I wished him and also was shocked to know that he is in Mumbai. He was suffering from fever, and so he head back home 2 days back. Later, I had my lunch at around 2:00 pm, and then had a discussion with Akshay through mails regarding the designs of the website. We both were unhappy, and so I informed Vaibhav too. Vaibhav asked me to meet him and also bring in the team members along with me. I don't know how is that possible. Anyways, I started working on the pending tasks on the job front. I realized that there is lot of work remaining, and since no one is there, I have to do it. I continued working till late evening. At around 8:30 pm, I had my pre work out dinner and then went to gym at around 9:30 pm. Today was work out day. I came back at around 10:30 pm, and started watching the TV show - Dadagiri. My favorite round was up then - Googly. I was able to answer 2 of them, and the rest were lame. Later, I had my bath and post work out dinner. Next, I wrote this diary and now I plan to study. I plan to sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 175: Job Day

Yesterday I slept at around 1:30 am. I didn't took the test I was supposed to take because I was feeling very sleepy that time. Today I woke up at around 9:45 am. I went online and started working on the pending tasks. As yesterday, today also, the work was piling up quicker than anticipated, and so it was going out of control. Also, Ankit didn't contribute at all, and left everything in between. Ankit was the invisible resource on the project. Anyways, Sarvesh and I started working on the various aspects and had numerous calls within us. I had my lunch at around 2:00 pm. My mom had gone to some kitty party. After that I continued working till late afternoon. At around 7:00 pm, I left for the nutritionist's appointment. My weight was 77.2 Kgs but my fat % was 27.2, and my BMR got reduced to 1783. Anyways, by this time, my mom, dad and sister had left for some party at Hyatt. I preferred to stay back due to work and other reasons. I worked till 9:00 pm, then ate my pre work out dinner and left for gym at around 9:30 pm. I had my fitness test done today where I performed ok. I came back after simple cardio, had a bath and then wrote this diary. Now, I plan to wait for my family to come back, and then sleep by 1:30 am. I am feeling sleepy today also.

Diary 174: Job and Series Win Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:30 am. I took another test and again I didn't clear the cut off. Today I woke up at around 10:20 am, and went online. I realized that nobody has come online yet, and so I started looking into other aspects of work. Pretty soon, I and Sarvesh started analyzing the missing tables and all. We got into lots of problem, and it was now up to me to change the code to help the cause. It was frustrating but somehow I managed to complete it by Lunch time. I had my lunch at around 3:00 pm. By that time, the cricket match between India and England had started, and so I started multi-tasking. India started off well with the bowling, but then England made a recovery and reached 298 in their 50 overs. Meanwhile, I booked the tickets for all of us for the Goa Trip, including return trip. I watched the match throughout the day. I checked some mails in between, but my mind was fixed at the result of the match, because a win in this would ensure a series win for India. India started their chase nicely and placed themselves at a nice place in the middle overs. But then the wickets started falling, and it was down to Dhoni. I left for gym in disappointment, but watched the last overs of the match there. In one line, Dhoni saved India again. He scored 35-40 odd in a quick time to reach 300 in 49.2 overs. Then, I came back, and watched the first episode of "Dadagiri" (now hosted by Mithun Chakarborty unfortunately). After that I took a bath, and started writing this post. Now, I plan to watch the latest episode of House and then study. I plan to sleep by 4:15 am.

Diary 173: No Office but lots of work Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:15 am. I took another test where I scored 94 but still couldn't clear the cut off in either section. Anyways, today I woke up at around 10:20 am. I went online, and saw that there was flurry a e-mails from both client and team members. I started working immediately. I had lot of calls in between with Sarvesh. He was also working on the same thing. Somehow, I felt that Mukund was again not giving his 100% to the project. He asked simple doubts etc. Later, I had my lunch at around 2:40 pm. After lunch, I continued working on the same. At around 3:30 pm, I completed my part and passed it on to Sarvesh. Then, I was feeling too sleepy and so I dozed off. I got few calls from Sarvesh in between and I handled them somehow. I got up at around 5:50 pm, and realized that I have missed the call with Gotham. I started working again after some Tea. The work was frustrating, but once done, it would open up lots of doors of improvement, and so I continued. I ate my pre work out dinner at around 8:45 pm, and went to gym at 9:40 pm. All the time, I was working on the same thing. I returned from Gym early, and started working again. After a lot of head banging and typing, I finally completed it and passed it on to Sarvesh. He, then, started working on it and will most probably complete it by tonight. Next, I plan to watch the TV episode of House and then study. I plan to sleep by 4:00 am.

Diary 172: Odd Office Day

Yesterday I slept at around 12:30 am. Today, I woke up at around 7:45 am, took a bath, and got ready for office. Then, I left with my Dad at around 9:00 am, and reached the office at 11:10 am. Ankit reached office after me, and we all started working. There were some issues cropping up and we dealt with it, and also there were many doubts regarding the mapping document and all. So, we decided to make few of the changes and then ask the doubts. Later, at around 2:30 pm, the internet stopped working and so we all were stuck. Then, we decided to just roam around for a while. We all went to the Mall nearby and started shopping. I bought a new pair of earphones. After all this, we left for home. I reached home at around 6:15 pm. Meanwhile, I missed a call with Gotham in between because of the journey thing. That's why I decided that I will not go to office tomorrow. Later, I watched the TV for a while and then started watching the latest episodes of HIMYM, Gossip Girl and TAHM. At around 8:30 pm, I had my pre work out dinner and later left for gym at 9:30 pm. Today was cardio day. I returned at around 10:30 pm. Again today, I couldn't take a bath. I ate one apple and then started watching the TV episodes again. I wrote this diary then, and next I plan to complete the episodes and then study. I plan to sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 171: No office or study day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. I took one of the mock tests and I didn't score well, so I was disappointed. Anyways, today I woke up at around 10:00 am, and went online. There was no supply of water from CIDCO. I had my usual breakfast and then I started working. I realized that due to lack of communication between us, I and Rohit were working on the same thing. Anyways, I asked Rohit to continue with the work and I decided to keep my work as a back up. Later, I started watching the match between India and England. India started off tremendously well and dominated throughout. England were all out for 237, and thus India had an easy total to chase down. Meanwhile, my mom handed me a letter from my sister where she explained that what she did yesterday was her fault and that she won't let it happen again. It was a good eye opener for her. Anyways, I had my lunch and then continued watching the match. Late evening, I had some Tea and then had my pre work out dinner. By this time, India were already in a very safe position, and thus I went to gym peacefully. I returned at around 10:30 pm. I couldn't take my bath because there was no water supply. Then, I wrote this diary from my Ipod because my Dad is using my laptop to look for trains and hotels for the Goa Trip in November. I plan to sleep now as I want to go to Office tomorrow. This is my first post from Ipod.

Diary 170: Bad AIMCAT and Sister issue Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:00 am. I took a test and the marks were horrible as usual. I woke up today at around 12:00 pm. I had an AIMCAT today so I went online, and started practicing some questions from the website. Later I watched the TV for a while, and then had my lunch at around 2:40 pm. I left home for Vashi at around 3:00 pm, and on reaching the test center realized that there is no electricity there. So, I took the access code from them, and then head back home. I started the test at around 4:00 pm at home, and ended it at 6:30 pm. I scored 76, but scored only 30 in the first section. The number of attempts were too less to score any. The number of mistakes has come down to 11, but still my strength area was not utilized properly. Anyways, I started watching the ongoing cricket match between SA and Aus. It was a T20, so it was exciting. Meanwhile, my sister had gone downstairs to meet her friends and all, but she didn't return on time. It was already 8 pm, and this made my Dad very angry. Also, she was spotted with a guy, and this caused the anger to rise even more. Earlier, she had denied any links with him, but now she was caught red-handed. I went downstairs and asked her to come back. On reaching back home, she was scolded a lot by my parents and her access to chatting and facebook was banned for now. May be she learns a lesson this time. Although, I know that she is bound to find a way out of it. Anyways, with all the drama, I kept quite all the time, and let my parents handle the issue. Later, I went to gym and returned at around 10:30 pm. I took the bath, and decided to ponder over some questions in Quant. Next, I wrote this diary and now I plan to sleep by 1:00 am. I am still double minded about going to office tomorrow, but I will leave it for later. 

Diary 169: Feasthunt and Study Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:45 am. Today I woke up at around 11:45 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. I checked my mails and all. I decided to take one of the sectional tests. I scored an okay 45 in that. By that time, it was already lunch time and I had my lunch at around 2:45 pm. After that I watched the TV for a while, and then called up Vaibhav to know whether he is free or not. Then I went there and discussed various design changes and also got some ideas about business licensing and all. It opened up a lot of interesting facts about various types of companies. I learned that I don't need to copyright the website. I can willfully put a copyright on the bottom since it was me who built it. Anyways, after all this, I got a call from Dad, and he asked to me come to some place to pick him up. It was almost 3 hours since I left home, and I used the time productively. I returned home at around 7:15 pm. I had some Tea and then watched the TV for a while. Then, we all had a discussion about the Rationing system in India, where I learned how the Ration Card works. I never used one because I never needed one. Later, I had my pre-work out dinner and then went to Gym. It was workout day. I returned home and had my bath. Then, I had my post work out dinner and then wrote this diary. Next, I plan to study and then sleep by 3:45 am. Also, today was Naman's birthday and I wished him during the late hours of the day.

Diary 168: Office and odd AIMCAT Day

Yesterday I slept at around 12:00 am. I slept early as I was planning to go to Office, the next day. Today I woke up first at 6:30 am, only to find out that everyone is sleeping and hence I cannot possibly leave for office, and then at 7:30 am, to get ready for office. I left with my Dad at around 8:35 am. I reached office quite late, due to heavy traffic at around 11:30 pm. The new project had started, so we were looking at a new to-do list. Some of the tasks were trivial for now, but some needed more information from the client. So, I and Ankit discussed the same with Gotham, and we got the information that was required. Later, I started watching the cricket match between India and England online. India started off poorly and scored at a run rate of around 4, but later I found out that Raina and Dhoni scored hefty, and took India to 300/7 in 50 overs. Meanwhile, I reached home at around 8:00 pm. I found out that one set of duplicate keys for home is with Bodomimi. She took it away to Hyderabad by mistake. Then, I watched the match, and soon realized that England's reply is not going to be enough. Finally, India won the match by a huge margin of 126 runs. Later, I had my pre work out dinner, and went to gym. I returned, had a bath, and then waited for mom and dad to sleep. Then, I took an AIMCAT. The results were really odd. I got 35 in the quants section and 49 in the second section. Although I cleared individual cut offs, I didn't clear the overall cut off. There were only 6 mistakes, but the number of attempts was very less. After that, I wrote this diary, and now I plan to sleep by 3:45 am.

Diary 167: No Office and Many Tests Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. I took another AIMCAT and that was bad too. It was just a feeble improvement. Today I woke up at around 10:00 am. I went online, checked the mails and started working on the same problem as yesterday. I got a ping from Ankit, and he asked me whether I was at home or not. Then, I spoke with Gil about the problem so that he doesn't forget me completely. Sarvesh was also working on that, and was kind of stuck at the same place. Anyways, after this, I decided to take sectional tests. I took around 4 of them, and scored bad in 3 of them. It was Quant, so it was more frustrating. I even thought of taking an AIMCAT, but later realized that the DOE project is starting again, and has an introduction call in the evening. So, I ditched the idea. Anyways, after the first three sectional tests, which went bad, I took the fourth one with all my power, and the test was somewhat better. In general, the tests were very lengthy and the DI part was extremely tough. Later, in the evening, I attended the call. We got the requirements from them, and were ready to roll. Tomorrow, I will go to Office and hopefully be more productive than before. Later, I had my pre work out dinner, and moved to gym. At gym, it was work out day, and I managed to complete all of them. Then, I came back, and took a bath. I wrote this diary, and now I plan to sleep by 11:45 pm.

Diary 166: No Office Day and Bad AIMCAT Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. I had a long chat with an old friend - Shatabdi. I woke up at around 9:30 am. I informed Ankit that I will not come. Then, I started working on some new problem that Gil had mentioned in one of the mails. Then, I decided that I will take the AIMCAT at 3:00 pm, instead of 9:00 pm. The link was already available, and I was kind of looking forward to it. Anyways, I worked on the problem for a while, but got stuck. Then, I started watching some of the TV episodes. Later, I had my lunch at around 2:00 pm, and then took some rest. I slept for a while, and woke up at around 3:20 pm. I started the test at around 3:35 pm, and ended it at around 5:50 pm. Well, I was shocked to see the number of mistakes in Quant. It was 7, and overall mistakes were 21. Although I scored 31 in english, my quant score went down to 38. It was disappointing. I was sad again, but recovered. I decided to take all this seriously now. I will try to reduce the number of mistakes next time, and also increase my attempts in Quant. This time I struggled a lot with Quant in terms of timing. Then, I had an appointment with the dietitian. Jyoti was unavailable, and so her senior came in. She was kind of strict, and reminded me of hitler. She didn't pay attention to the 7 kgs I lost, and instead put me on a strict diet. I returned home, had the same old debate with my parents regarding the diet plan, and then pondered over my performance in the exam. I decided that I will not waste time now. I went to gym later, and changed my cardio style a bit. I returned home, took a bath, and then wrote this diary. Now, I plan to complete the TV episode and then study. I plan to sleep by 3:00 am.

Diary 165: Early Office Day 2

Yesterday I slept at around 1:00 am. Today I woke up at 6:30 am. I was very late already but somehow I managed to get ready and leave by 7:00 am. I reached the station on time and boarded the right train. I reached office quite early, at around 8:40 am, but there was no one there. Finally, Ankit arrived at around 9:40 am. I worked on the essays a bit, and then roamed around. I realized that Zomato's office is at the same floor as ours. Anyways, we started working on whatever came through. My brain was not working at all, and my productivity was at all time low. I was asking stupid questions and all. I decided that I will leave early today too. I wrote a few mails here and there, and then finally left the office at around 3:45 pm. I reached home at around 5:50 pm. I went online, and decided to watch the latest episodes of HIMYM, TAHM and Gossip Girl. Before that, I played the guitar for a while. Later, I watched the TV episodes and then was ready to go to the gym. Today was Lakshmi Puja, and hence my parents invited a few guests to serve the prasad. I also ate the same as my pre work out dinner. Today was workout day. My weight is still touching 80, and now has officially stopped reducing. Anyways, I returned home, and took a bath. Then, I wrote this diary. Now, I plan to complete the TV episodes and then sleep by 2:00 am or so. Also, I forgot to mention yesterday that Jagjit Singh is no more. He died yesterday of brain hemorrhage and his voice will be missed.

Diary 164: Early Office Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:00 am. Today I woke up at around 6:00 am. I got ready for office and left home after breakfast at around 6:35 am. I reached the station on time and then boarded the train for Andheri. I reached the office at around 8:30 am, only to find the door locked. I waited for Ankit to come, but during that time, I started thinking about the essays. Then, Ankit arrived and the work started. As usual, very less productive work was going on in Office. Ankit seemed lost, and most of us were more worried about the PF that was cut from our salary for the last few months. Anyways, I somehow managed to pass through the office and then decided to leave early at around 4:00 pm. Luckily I managed to catch the trains right on time at both Andheri and Wadala stations. I reached home at around 5:45 pm. I went online, and checked out the solutions to the Bad AIMCAT that I had yesterday. I realized that I made a lot of mistakes in the LA section of the section II. I was surprised to see so many mistakes and hence realized the reason for so many negatives. Anyways, I also found that two of the questions were wrongly evaluated, and hopefully my marks would increase by 8. Although it doesn't matter much, but still it gives me some confidence. Later, I watched the latest episode of the Dexter, and then ate my pre work out dinner. I moved to gym at 9:30 pm, and returned at around 10:30 pm. Today, I saw some new treadmills in the gym. Anyways, I had a bath, and my post work out dinner. Now, I plan to complete the episode and then sleep by 1:00 am.

Diary 163: Bad AIMCAT Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:30 am. Today I woke up at around 11:15 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. I felt terrible because there was no chaos in the home now. Everything was quiet. My Dad seemed fine. I started practicing a bit for the AIMCAT which was scheduled at 3:30 pm. I didn't practice Quant. I took some tests in verbal and I scored okay. At least my mind was refreshed a bit. Later, the pest control guy arrived and smoked the house. We already had our lunch before that. I left with my Dad at around 3:05 pm. I reached the center at 3:20 pm. I started my test and literally hurried through the Quant section. The verbal section seemed easy but the result showed something totally unexpected. I scored 60 in Quant with only 3 mistakes, and 19 in the second section with 17 mistakes. I was terribly disappointed. My dad was there to pick me up. I came back after some grocery shopping. Then, I wrote this post. Although I am disappointed, I will try to score again, so that I cross the limits for some other B Schools other than IIMs. Next, I plan to have some Tea, and then watch the match between MI and RCB - the final. Later, I will go to gym, and then sleep early since I have to reach office at 9:00 am.

Diary 162: Bodomama and Bodomimi leaving Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. We were chatting about various things till late night. MBA was also one of them, and I tried to get some inputs from Bodomama. Today I woke up at around 12:30 pm. Bodomimi and Bodomama were going to leave for Hyderabad today. I went online, checked my mails etc. After that I started watching the videos and pictures that I took during the Durga Puja. We all listened to the songs sung by Rupankar. Later, we gathered for Lunch. After that, we started watching the TV and looked for some movie. Luckily, an awesome movie - Chillar party, was going on. I convinced everyone to watch it and not go by the name. Bodomimi backed me up with a statement that it won an award in some film festival. After the movie was done with, it was time for Bodomama and Bodomimi to leave. They left at around 6:30 pm. Then, I went online again, realized that I forgot to wish Shaurin on his birthday (5th Oct). Then, I watched the latest TV episodes of BBT, HIMYM and TAHM. Later, I started watching the semi-final match between MI and Somerset. Well, the first half was kind of boring, but the second half was interesting to watch. Malinga took 4 wickets and took the match away from Somerset. So, it is now MI vs RCB in the final. Meanwhile, I went to Gym after my pre work out dinner and returned at around 10:40 pm. I had my bath, and had my post work out dinner after the match. Then, I started writing this post, and now I plan to watch the TV episodes of Castle and CSI Miami. I plan to sleep by 2:30 am.

Diary 160: Durga Puja Ends Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:30 am. Today I woke up at around 10:30 am. I brushed my teeth, and was ready for breakfast. I checked my mails in between, and there was nothing new for me. Most of the day was a lazy day for us. We were tired after the celebrations which were going on for the last few days.

Diary 158: Durga Puja Day 4

Diary 157: Durga Puja Day 3

Yesterday I slept at around 1:45 am. Today I woke up at around 8:45 am. I brushed my teeth, and ate my breakfast. My mom had to go to the puja pandal. So, I got ready. Also, I had to get the inverter to the shop. After dropping off my mom to the pandal, I went to the shop. The shopkeeper told me that the inverter is gone, and cannot be repaired. So, I consulted with my Dad and decided to buy a new one. After that I came back home, and got ready to go to the puja pandal again. At around 1 pm, I, bodomimi and my sister left for the puja pandal. There, we saw the "banglar bodhur" program. It was fun. Then, I decided to eat lunch, since I had to be at home for the inverter. I reached home just in time. The shop people came in ,and fitted the inverter. Then, everyone came in and also my cousin brother. He also lost weight in college. Then, I decided to go to gym as I missed it yesterday. I ran for around 11 minutes today ( 8 + 3). Then, I returned home, took a bath, and got ready to move. We hired an innova for our journey today. We went to Thane, Kalwa and visited the old home where my bodomama and bodomimi used to live. It was nostalgic. I captured those places in my SLR. We moved from pandal to pandal, ate fish chops etc. We moved to Vashi then, and ate a full fledged dinner - Lollipops, Chicken Rolls, Ice cream etc. I ate after a long time. I didn't like it that much, but I enjoyed the change. Later, we all headed home, and reached at around 12:00 am. Tired, we just let our bodies go. Some of us were awake till 2:30 am, and had a nice chit chat. I slept at around 2:45 am.

Diary 156: Durga Puja Day 2

Yesterday I slept at around 1:30 am. Today I woke up at around 10:00 am. I brushed my teeth, and had my usual breakfast. Fortunately, there was no load shedding today. We had plans to go to Dombivili and Thakurli to meet Bodomama's old friends. So, we all got ready for that. I took a bath too, and was ready to go. My dad wanted to drive the new car for the long ride so that he could test the performance of the car. So, we started the journey. It was fun. Listening to music, singing, and talking about childhood. Then, we reached Dombivali, where everyone seemed to remember my childhood. Initially, it was tough for me to identify them, but after looking at few of the old pictures, I recognized them. I loved it there. There was so much intimacy among them, it reminded me of those good old times, when we really laughed and smiled our worries away. When expectations didn't win the battle over tensions. Anyways, we had a good lunch, and even got a chance to take a power nap. We moved from one house to other, and visited two Puja pandals. I got a call from Rahul bajaj, who informed me that Himanshu Asnani's Dad had expired about 1 year ago. I was shocked to hear that. I informed my mom and dad too. I met many people from my past, and tried to remember the name "minti". Somehow, I remember that she was one of my friends during that time. But I am not so sure, and now it doesn't even matters. Finally, we left dombivali and moved towards kharghar. On the way, we met one of my father's contractor - Bhuvan, who arranged for our food etc. Bodomama was extremely hungry and hence he got his wish at last. We ate and then left for home. After some wrong turns and missed turns, we finally reached home. Today was a fantastic day. Also, my cousin brother - Broto is coming tomorrow. It seems that he is living the college life I never lived. I feel good for him. I wish I also had that life. But anyways, now I am happy and should be satisfied with what I got. Then, I wrote this post, and now I plan to sleep by 2:00 am. 

Diary 155: Bodomama Bodomimi Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. Today I woke up at around 8:05 am. I realized that there is no electricity. I brushed my teeth, and was forced to have my breakfast early. Then, I figured out that the main switch was switched off by Dad and hence we never realized when the electricity was back. Then, I decided to take my AIMCAT. I started it around 10:10 am, and finished it at 12:30 pm. I scored low. I got only 81. I got 55 in 1st section, and only 26 in the second one. I need to improve my English somehow. Anyways, after that I left for a hair cut. I returned home, and had a bath. Then, the wait for bodomama and bodomimi started. They finally arrived at around 2:20 pm. Unfortunately the electricity was down again. So, we had to go down 14 floors using the staircase. I kept one of the heavier bags in our car, and brought the other bag through the staircase and that too without stopping even once. It was a great warm up exercise. Then, the whole day was a blast. We had lunch then. After that we all sat down together and had fun discussing different stuffs. At around 5 pm, I left for the gym. I ran on the treadmill again, but this time I increased the running time to 9 minutes. I didn't complete the quota of my full cardio, but I worked hard on running. Later, I came back, took a bath, and got ready for the durga puja program that we were going to see. Ruponkor was coming to kharghar, and so we reached there at around 7:10 pm. Initially there was some dance drama or so, but then he arrived. He was as usual fantastic. I got the opportunity to speak with him too, and also got to take pictures along side him. After that, I tried my hand to get the keys of the new car, but somehow I felt that my first driving experience is not in the recent future. Anyways, we bought some veg chops and then returned home. At home, I came to know that KKR has won the match by D/L. It is still not out of danger, and has a slight hope of making it to the next round. Later, I returned to my home and started writing this post. Every one is asleep now, and I also plan to sleep early because I am a bit tired. I plan to sleep by 1:30 am.
