Moment of Truth!
Ever had a prof play the song, 'we don't need no education' on a blaupunkt speaker from within a 4x4 Mahindra Scorpio rite in ur face with the lyrics scrollin over on a Toshiba Toughbook??!!
Flashback: We had the last lecture of services marketing today! (i'd rather - tonite!!). After taking us through the theory on 3 chapters from the book he shows us stuff he did to the Bullet Enfield showroom and how he marketed it!! How he created a state of the showroom, how the sound of the bullet was captured on an ecg like thing, how 'blow jobs' are given to a bullet (largely described how wen u blow air onto the weiser of a bullet nothn happens to you coz it creates a bubble around you and ur safe!! :-D), how a bullet and bull horns are the same and what he did to put all of it in the place where he displayed the bullets, how and why he used the petrol tanks hung from a mesh to show the colors of the bike (yup - the bullet comes in various colors and one of it is even ornage!!), how the various sounds of a bullet can be heard by using a mechanical stetho, how the smallest of detail was given attention to and how a dream was converted into a state of the art reality - how services are marketed - hands on!! No words whatsoever are sufficent to describe what we saw!! If the documantation could do that to us, imagine what the experience can do to you!!!
After that he asks us 1 question which constitutes our end term exam - 'What is service Marketing???' Write what you want.... that's it!!
The grand finale: The man takes us to the Institute entrance, makes us bend to our right as far as we can and then makes us do it again, only a lil further this time! If the body with all it's limitations can do it then just think what the mind can do??
He then plays the song, 'we don't need no education' on a blaupunkt speaker from within a 4x4 Mahindra Scorpio rite in ur face with the lyrics scrollin over on a Toshiba Toughbook. His parting words - You don't need a teacher to teach you Services Marketing! It was nice knowing ya! Stay in touch!! And he floats away into the night (that we all will remember) in his 4x4!!!

ERP!!
Well... a class full of all kinds of nuts n wierdos n 1 jahlli like me who's obsessed with her cellphone and has decided to write some stuff in her notebook for a change! (only it's not class note, it's this post!) N the prof is curoiusly lookin at her wondering, "What's with her?? My slides not that good that she writin stuff down!!!"
15 minutes into the lecture, the sandman has sprinkled sand in all our eyes and 50% of the wierd creatures I mentioned are in Zzzz.... land! My chair by that time has realized that I weigh some 70 odd kgs and is merrily squeaking under me with the tiniest shift so now playing on the ERP jukebox is, 'The droning prof n squeaky student!'
Ok.. another some minutes into the crazy lecture and it's beauty check time: some are lookin at their hands (guys as well), some are diiging their nose (eeks!!), some are playing with their dity fungal infected beards, some are cleaning their nails, removing ear wax etc! Some have breakfast stuck in their teeth (how does idli get stuck in your teeth and why is it green???). The leg shakers are merrily making a milk shake out of themselves and a mexican wave of rubbing eyes and yawns ensues!! 10 heads on the desks and 3-4 under the table.. dreamland express!!
Homicide!! (Genocide for that matter!) The prof asks a question! hell.. who was litening!!!! Faces deperately search each other..'Say sumthin Goddammit.. kuh to bolo!!!!' A muffled voice mumbles sumthing... the prof gives up and gets back to his drone!!!
Buzzzzzzzz................................................!!!!

Hamari kahani!
One of those lectures where you figure that there has jus got to be sumthn better to do than listen to the guy in front speaking his heart out and well... this happens:
'There was once a lil boy, he went into th jungle, there he met a witch, she made him sit on his broom and took him away, she made him sweep her house with the broom, the kid woke up from his dream, he saw a broom in his window, he got inspired and started sweeping his room, his inspiration crossed all limits and he sat on the broom and jumped off wanting to fly.. well! he fell to the ground!! Back in bed now, with all his hands n feet broken, his girlfriend calls, she is actually a witch! He talked to her on the hands free coz his hands n feet were all broken! She asked him, 'how wuz ur trip on the broom?'. He sed wat u askin... cme n see na!'
Relax! It's a bunch of MBA's here behaving like pre schoolers n tryin to make a story one line each... thankfully Tushar broke in with the case analysis and we all started listening!!!!!!

She's missing her bestest buddy who she's grown up with, laughed and cried, shared ALL her secrets with, turned to at any given point... still calls her up wen she's lonely... she misses the pastries, the kinetic rides, bunking lectures once ur there, giggling like two gone cases, drives by the lake, following cars jus coz u luv the car, chhedoing guys, fighting, standing by each other, luvn each other, makin fun of the world n of each other, being truthful, being called lesbians, goin all over the cityon the kinetic and back again coz we wud never plan our trips, being in rival schools and having jaws drop at our awsum friendhip, the nariyal laddus at her place n the biscuit pudding at mine, boyfriend trouble, boyfriend gossip even, male bashing sessions, shopping, not likin anythn at all wen we're shopping and spending all the money accessible wen we r at it, been complete hooligans, trying our hand at sophistication, time spent at cafechino, all th coffees, chocolates and pastries, me treatin her on her bday and she me on mine, dreamin the same dreams, thinkin different thoughts, buggin both our mothers to the core, exploring unknown parts.... always, ALWAYS being there for each other... (luv u babes... miss u so much... we jus have to get together on diwali ya....!!) biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..................................g hug!! n u better remember to have that pastry today!!!

She can call him up at nay wierd hour and he's there... he'll listen to her... he knows this nut stays in a hostel and dsnt have money so he cuts her call n calls her... he answers all the wild n crazy questions she keeps askin him and he's the kind of friend if u have, u call urself blessed!!
Then there are a few nuts who share a flat in mumbai n mean the world to this girl! They'r always there... pillars you can fall back on!! Not 1, but 3 so u can imagine my support system!! n always up for a nice fun time!!
There's also one oldie who calls this girl 'gudiya' n she loves it! He's a woman charmer! But a great adviser... in sum of the stickiest situations he'll come up wit the easisiest solutions!! We call him narad... :-D for reasons we'd rather keep to ourselves!
Thn there's her pyara motu!! Jitna bolo utna kam hai... he's scolded her wen i've dun wrong and laughed wit her too... He's the sweet fellow who dsnt bare his heart to everyone.. she's glad she's one of the lucky few.. she jus wants to say to him, "I'm always there"!
Then there's this guy who had a hard time deciding wen and how to propose, she helped him out n now he's a happy man! She's glad she touched his life... wat he dsnt knw is he's touched hers too...in more ways than one!!
Then there's vaibi, bhoj, kaicker, AT, Shraddha and a host of wonderful people who've touched her life!! All she wants to say is, "Happy Friendhip Day! It's coz of you that each day of my life is a celebration!"
Luv ya all... dosti wala! :-)

Her Pillar! :-)
How and why the most boring lectures induce me to write, I will never know!! Well here goes.....
A wisp of white
A shallow puddle
The tiniest rainbow
A smile of hope!
A dream so big
Stars so high
Wishes unlimited
Her li'l heart sighs!
Her head on his shoulder
A comforting hug
Twinkling eyes
Smiling back at him!
They walk to togther
now & forever
An angel's halo
and a happily ever after!
