Finally D day dawned and I woke up to remember the questions whose answers I had to get today the orientation was to begin at 11 am and I reached by 10:15 as if my friends(who accompanied me) and I were to get early bird prize.We explored the campus and saw some of our batchmates No sign of seniors I thought I would be welcomed by seniors by garlands and rose water
Then the students assembled in a assigned room where all the faculty members gave us brief intros and welcomed us..After that,a break for snacks and tea/coffee This break was used for exploring the campus and of course the famous Bamboo canteen
Our seniors had a rocking time asking us to do this that..Ragging is not the right word for me atleast had to show some attitude to a guy who had to tease me there was rakhi ka sawyamvar,dance performance,samba act etc..I had a good time laughing through out all the performances even at mine because that guy asked me for TZP
Some gyaan about groups and clubs was given by seniors and some more masti
The session had a bad ending
a)Formals to be worn till orientation is on
b) Speech on career goals on friday..I still don't know mine
c)Business plan PPT What is that God help me
That's all for the day 16th July 2009 ..keep watching this space for more updates

Finomena - The Finance Summit
It is a matter of great pride for all of us at MBE that Finomena has turned out to be a grand success!! The Topic of the Summit was what all in India would like to have an answer for "Financial tsunami :The Domino Effect". And therefore we selected speakers who could give us different views on the topic. The 3 hour long session made sure that we had at the end of the session a good bit idea about the answer. The tireless hard work of MBEites was duly paid by the Excellent Speakers and an engaging experience.

It's Magic!!
I say I swish my wand, call out ‘wingardium leviosa’, at your hat and cause it to hover in mid- air. Well that’s classic magic for all potter heads to believe and may I confess that officially I am a committed potter head myself. Or say you feel like eating chocolate fudge late night and the delivery boy drops one at your doorstep by mistake. You can take it as a lucky coincidence, or a wish of the moment granted, or perhaps a little bit of both. Or say you had a dream about a friends visit and the next morning you know the very person drops in for a hello!! So what’s your interpretation of the event- an intuition? , a premonition? , or was their something more to it???. When you want something, wanna have something, wanna see somebody, or achieve something, the entire universe conspires to grant you your wish. Sounds familiar??? This pearl of wisdom is dropped from Paulo Coelho and the Guru goes on to tell us that there are omens strewn across our path, we only need to recognize them and realize their significance. After all everything happens for a reason and there is always a good reason behind it.
Magic may be a simple five letter word, with two vowels and three consonants, but means different things to different people, has varied interpretations and conjures up myriad of images and allusions. When a mother holds her baby for the first time, the moment is magical for her. When you return home after a bad day at office, a simple reassuring smile from your partner can work magic. A guys first date is magical and so is every girls Cinderella night. The belief in the existence of the greater power, the omni potent and the omni present Almighty God only implies the existence of something else, which can be paraphrased as ‘good things happening to good people’.
For me magic is love, and love is the greatest magic, the supreme philosophy, the truth stripped to its bare minimum, the life giving force which cradles this planet through sunrise and sunset. The fact that this earth is but an imperfect sphere, hanging mid-air is magic- a thread which runs deep through this creation, its existence and its truth. There is nothing sub or super about it. Everyday we sleep, we get up, we breathe, we eat, we drink and we procreate because that’s the magical law of nature- as natural as can be, as obvious as it seems, and yet continue to mystify and baffle generations. Guess simplicity does leaves one stump!!!!!!

Looking Back...
Looking back, over my shoulders
I see pages flipping with the breeze
I see pictures smiling and peeping through those pages
As I sit to contemplate my learnings over the ages
Sweeping breeze.. sweeping me in its embrace
Embracing the scrawls of my life
Those scribbled mornings, noons and nights
And as I flip through my chaptered days
I chance upon my MBE phase
Those lecture rooms and endless hours
Hushed whispers synchronized with frequency bars
That pleasured talking as professor teaches
Lost pleasure, when the lecture finishes
Are woven deep into my learning curve
Forever framed, forever preserved
That coffee smell... still lingers on, refusing to be contained in its cup
Brewing pure longing in my nostalgic pub
That ten bucks which I still owe to my mate
Is safely secured in my pocket, till date
Reminding me of those good old days
Those reckless spendings and our careless ways
That early morning rush for the lecture at nine
And being shown the doors for not making on time
That comforting hug, that laugh, occasional sniffs and the gossips too
All form a part of the package, without which I could never do
Those essential lessons of loss and win, since I bid adieu
Are etched safe in my skin aiding me scale heights anew
My failings and feats, highs and lows
Are well-chronicled in those long travelled roads
And I know, that the blue gates which welcomed me every morning
Still wait to creek a welcome
That familiar lane of Benito Juarez, still calls me for a ride
Pulling me towards itself to the comfort zone of my campus life.
