Nike face-off corporate challenge

This mini marathon of 3km was The first ever corporate challenge i participated in.It was organised by run for life club sponsored by Nike at kanteerava indoor stadium,Bangalore.This morning,competition was between SAP vs SASKEN and I2TECH vs HP. Each participant had to register at their respective company counters to get a bib number.You can feel the charm of running on nike shoes if you want,but for that, one has to hand over his car key/mobile in eachange for that pair of shoes.Only 44 guys turned up from sasken to compete with 65 runners from SAPlab.The rule was that,all the 109 guys will start simultaneously,but the fastest 30 guys of a particular company reaching the end point will be the winner.The trainer lead us to the entrace gate opposite to Sheshadri Iyer library in cubbon park.We were taught about worm-up sessions and the map of race circuit.There were throat crackling cheer ups from each team.We were told to held a baton while running.I didn’t know who crossed me or whom i put back.my concern was to maintain my pace,that's it.There were sunfeast biscuit packets, cups of glucon D mixed water and mineral water to energise young muscles.The fastest runner completed it in 9 min 55secs.I finished in 11min20secs and came 6th.As per the rules of probability,30 out of 64 guys(sap lab) have a greater possibility to win than 30 out of 44(sasken) and It happened...:-(...Then there was certificate distribution ceremony presided by a Nike trainer(skinny lady from pune).






Following the principle,famous-brand-then-good-product,It was assumed that the race will be organised somewhat in special manner as NIKE rules the sports world.But it turns out to be a bit pathetic as there was no certi for guys finishing within top five/ten spots over ally,Though there was accolades for guys finishing last from the team-work-decides winning team.There was small confusion about the circuit in the middle of the race,so many guys lose time for that.The feel good factor was when photographs being taken while one was going to crush the photographer,face to face.After all,you know it is fun to run in a group,watching your colleagues surpassing you and you maintaining coolness recalling the famous cliche,”slow and steady wins the race”.

WTF going on - 2

In a Sunday evening a huge devilish laughter broke the silence of the dark living room.3 roomies sitting on the bed edges discussed something kinda funny under the flickering candle light.It was about the future endeavours of technocrats from different disciplines.But the discussion turned into a debate when some points supporting live-life-electrical-engineer-size was put on by the only degree holder of that branch among that triplet...And rest of the evening was wasted making sarcastic humours on that sounds-so-funny career option.Let me clarify you in WTF manner those vital points raised that day :-
Who wants to be an expert in a renowned field??certainly number of junta will give positive response.A slight modification in the same question sounds a bit kidding, like who wants to be an expert on Generator(or in the field of generators)??Imagine You will do your MS publishing few papers on existing generators and can-be-done modifications ....Now assume that your mastery in that subject is not over yet,means you have to do PhD(5 years,not 3 years) with generators.You have to read the history of it and try your best to write the future proposed designs(you published during your MS) in a tough-wording-for-fake-ideas doctorate thesis.Then you will be offered the GM post of the office-of-generator-experts at NTPC without any written/interview,since very few(may be null) people would be there to fight with your achievement.
Lets discuss about the possible research areas in that field.First of all,You will discover the reduction principle otherwise the disgusting fart sound of Ur instru will make Ur ass kicked off from that locality.This principle will be based on how to reduce number of r's from the sound,"Grrrrrrrrrrrr....".secondly,the principle of pessimism.Here u need to chalk out plans to make the world running short of electricity,so that Ur item n you will marked high in black market and shaadi bazaar respectively.Though this principle carries huge risk as per its name and the idea behind it,it guarantees a grand return end of the financial year.
Thirdly,the principle of anti-axe-effect.You know the instru you will be working with lives on crude oil,everybody-hate-to-smell since discovered.Now you can tell the smell of your body parts without any action,same for the area where this will be kept.Be careful about environmental pollution.
There are many more exciting risky ideas/principles,where you can waste your time with,but for that you need to do your PhD in that field.After all,Whats wrong in it,A high profile job in a central govt office with all facilities to carry out a life time research in the field of generators.I wish you guys good luck if you are determined to go for it now.I cannot write more since my lappie battery going down with just 5% charge remaining.Current is not there,wish i could be an expert on generator....

Happy b'day to me,
Happy b'day to me,
Happy b'day to GOUTAM BUDHHA,
Happy b'day to me
......Today was the day i made it to a physical noise making worthless social animal called human being.There are many goof ups regarding my b'date.1st July is what written on my college certificate,4th May is what mom told me when i asked to put in orkut profile,but finally grand ma rules.She insisted that she was not proud of me,rather she was proud of that infant who made it on the b'day of Goutam buddha.Hence all my family members agreed on this holy fact but on a condition that grand ma should be proud of me as well..:)..

As per the strict instruction of momma,i left bed on sharp 7 o'clock before Moti darling started her morning saga(Moti is the pyaari si doggy of my raw-mango-tasted-bitter-faced house owner).After the usual bathroom stuff it's time to visit the nearby VENKATESWAR TEMPLE to pray for my hopefully-blessed 25th year.With my cargo pant n gym goer newly bought sleeveless t-shirt,this young guy was looking like judwa of mahesh babu.I rang the temple bell 25 times not caring the resentment of other devotees,distributed the prasad among the cute little teens playing around and returned to home without requesting god to give me something.Every time i decided to ask something for me,i find some fault in that and ended up in praying,"GOD,Help the people.Make me a good person wiping out my evil thoughts".

At home i decided to resume guitar learning classes for the sake of my 25th year B'day resolution.Guitar teacher,a maachh-bhaat-jamke-khabo bengali,declared the whole class to keep silence and listen Oriya songs requested me to sing in the rhythm of guitar tunes.I did not know how akshya Mohanty took his avatar in me and i was successfully delivered starting lines of few Oriya hits.It hit them so hard that,some forgot the chord combination for the song.The receptionist was sitting at the door step to catch me to collect 1600/- as per admission fee.But when i told her that it was just a demo class for me,i will pay you next class,her expression turned like as if a natkhat balak(freak guy) cheated a bholi-bhali ladki(innocent girl)...(wish u know the meaning of CHEATING from bollywood dictionary).A slight glimpse of my diamond credit card put a golden smile on her hopeless face.

Where is the party tonight!!!After a few bakkar session with roommies,It was decided to let the kukkads greet us at "OYE AMRITSARI".Going through brigade road area at night time is a feel-happy experience for every bachelor.This joy multi folded if you start scanning colourful foren items every nook and corner of the dine room of a church street famous restaurant keeping in mind that the Kukkad patialawala is gonna be served with makhanlal ka masalawala papdi kulcha.After order waiting time hurts. Nil kept on searching a gharelu looking beautiful desi queen.I got one and dedicated to him...no no, we shared with mutual understanding.Dev-D as usual was planning to make a fight between different sea creatures and no. of chickens in his tummy by taking all items mentioned in their big menu.Rohu found his dream partner (looking like Palomi De of MTV Roadies 6) being served with a glass of red wine,he got angry and tried to negotiate the anger with boneless chicken soup.Everybody was on the verge of explosion before the lime soda gave us temporary relief.Keeping the blank space after Tips section in the bill blank,we left the hotel with a loud "OYE" uttered in satisfaction.

P.S.:What is there in b'day wish,what is there in b'day treat,just feel the friendship,just feel it...:)
