They proved me wrong
Just a few days back, I thought it was almost over. I was almost free but then they again proved me wrong!
I do not know in detail about a lot of companies but I feel there are not many companies as poorly managed as Lenovo India – a company where people at senior levels back off their words without any signs of shame – where ethics is just another fancy word to be used in some of the company meetings for junior staff – where the idea of selling is just to get the client hooked once and then he may regret that for years. Now I am writing all this based on my experience with the company. The company may object to this content on grounds of defaming them but this is all what I can say after having seen their attitude in last few days/weeks.
The laptop delivery (for IIM Bulk deal) scheduled in third week of June has not yet been made and there are hardly any signs suggesting that to happen in next few days. Regarding the status of shipment, one could draw an analogy to Indian Railways. Every day it got delayed by further two days and the current date I have been informed is still six days away. Mind you the original mutually agreed date of delivery has passed 12 days back! Also to note that the order was placed 40 days (~6weeks back)
I dont remember having been in so much pressure and tension in a while. Although last few days at summer internship were also trying but still these few days have been much more pain. And the worst part is that there is nothing much I can do!
Anyways this post has helped me vent out some of that frustration and hopefully I can manage to read the case for tomorrow’s class now.
Arbit ramblings
People get frustrated irritated agitated in high pressure high workload but today I am really frustrated and irritated coz I have nothing to do at all.
So these are some ARBIT RAMBLINGS OUT OF FRUTRATION AND IRRITATION OF HAVING NO WORK AT ALL.
I was extremely busy till a day back when I was dealing with Lenovo with regards to laptop bulk deal, was highly involved in IT (something which cannot be mentioned on public forum for certain protocol issues) and had a part of my attention focussed on another thing (which again cannot be mentioned but for personal reasons) and here I am today- total Vella- nothing to do at all.
Company dealing not yet over completely but kind of over – The $1 billion deal is almost through.
IT(second point mentioned above) is over and efforts in that (third point mentioned above) seem futile.
O man! I was so addicted to high workload high pressure – something to keep me busy all the time and here I am feeling totally lost today!
So what should I do now??
Probably could have called someone but these f**king Airtel guys have barred outgoing calls on my phone.
I have been trying to watch movies to keep myself engaged but that again seems useless as none of the 5 movies I tried watching since this morning could run for more than 10 mins.
Party – Not really in a mood for that. No booze today.
I think just hanging around in the city might just be a good idea so the search for someone to go out with begins now..

Will luck ever start favouring me?
I dont know why is it so but it has been always like this. The luck factor, which goes in favour of so many at so many times, doesn’t seem to have a very good relation with me. If it happens just once or twice, it is fine but why the h*ll always!
The last time I remember I rode high on luck was more than 3 years back when I survived after an accident with oil tanker on National Highway 2. Since then, it has been a long run of bad luck. I thought it might end sometime soon but that has not happened yet.
I dont know how to vent this frustration out coz even venting out frustration has had some serious implications on me at times!
Avoiding to write the circumstances that led me to write this, I conclude it wishing the situation to improve soon but again that would be really very optimistic of me.
Time for another RDB
Seen RDB???
So don’t u think it is time for another RDB, now with some ministers working for the benefit of the students!!! (like the patriot minister in the movie)
Mr. Arjun Singh claims to be very concerned with the IIM aspirants and is making statements like “we are working for the good of students so they can wait” without realizing that the wait is just getting more and more and the kind of impact, the anxiety might be having on the aspiring candidates. Being amongst the victim students, i thought it would be appropriate to speak my heart out.
With the negotiations failing till now, i don’t understand how long does Mr. AS expects IIMs to hold on.
fellow aspirants here i take the opportunity to call for an RDB act….let the generation of these oldies awaken!!!!!
Come on!!! It has to be better than this..
I have always been known for not expressing my feelings in public but here I am a depressed , a frustrated person, a loser finding some space to get that frustration out.
Everything looked fine when i was giving interviews for admission in B-schools. The performance never looked that bad to throw me out of all but the results seem to be indicating something else. After already been kicked off from NITIE and partly from IIT-D, all that was remaining was to be kicked off from MDI. Something that happened and hurt badly, I am here to vent out all the frustration…
Time to retrospect!!!
NITIE: Everything seemed fine. Had an average GD(thanks to the topic…dint have much knowledge about) but a decent PI. The panelists looked satisfied with the responses. God knows what then!!
IIT-B: Somehow made me remember what had happened last year there!! The panelists must have scolded me after i had gone (last year) and this time they must have thought how such dumb people clear the written test? There must be something terribly wrong with JMET?. And I think there is something terribly wrong with IIT-B. Somehow i do manage to prove my stupidness there. The chemistry doesn’t strike. I never manage to make an impression there. The result is not out yet but hey! come on! I don’t deserve to even expect a selection (or rather a waitlist) there.
IIT-D: Unlike last year when i had a superb PI and a good GD, this time I managed to mess up around there as well. cud not help my below average performance at GD(had a major position disadvantage) and thanks to the confusion created when the panelists assumed MOBILE SOLUTIONS to EMBEDDED SYSTEMS. Though was still hopeful of making it to the final list based on my rank. Somehow managed that but that is the only positive I can show!!!
MDI: was the last one…I was super chill…had a fultoo bak in PI. (Panelists and I seemed to have struck a brilliant chemistry). They were chilled as well. All laughed for more than 80% of the total 12 mins. There were some low points as well where I cud not answer the questions, which were the must know types but the panelists never gave an impression as if I was stupid rather supported like “arey koi baat nahin” and “chalta hai” with some comments in Hindi as well.
Probably it turned out to be more informal than it should have been.
Come On!! It has to be better than this!!!
Having been kicked off from 3 of the 4 non-IIM institutes, i don’t know what to expect from IIM results and thanks to Mr. Arjun Singh, the frustration to carry on for Indefinite period now!!!
The person who used to suggest people to keep their cool and not get frustrated here looks from some serious counseling. The anxiety seems to be ever growing. The wait is now killing me. The frustration is getting out of control(what the heck!! frustration itself is something out of control). The balance is already lost.
“Socha nahin tha takdir yahan layegi, manzil pe aate hi jaan chali jayegi…..” yahan to manzil se pehle hi umeed ja rahi hai
Sometimes I even doubt, do I really deserve to be in an elite B-school????Anyways I will still wait….wait till other results come out….before i answer this question.
Come on man!!!! It has to be better than this!!!!
