the nuptial nub

Placement at a B school and an Indian wedding is more or less the same. The candidates are virginal in their ignorance, much like a bride. They want everything to be perfect on that day. The company much like the groom is in a position to make outrageous demands. The candidates don’t want any company to know that they are flirting around with other companies, while the companies are so much in denial that they expect every candidate to attend only their process. The college authorities much like the bride’s family is impotent, highly uninterested and only interested in washing the bride off their hands.
It’s only much later that the bride realizes that she is going to be brutally fucked, a part of the bargain for being fed all life long, not that it is in anyway assured. And we have the gall to be proud of our Indian B-schools????

A personal loss

I lost all my data today. Technology does that to you. It extracts a sacrifice before it lets you tame it. Thankfully only my pictures got deleted. Let me list out the stuff that went out:

1. My sketches (around 0.5 gb)
2. Pictures/Wallpapers/rendered images (around 2 Gb)
3. Personal snapshots of me, friends (around 4 Gb)
4. Stuff that I had written down (round about 2 Gb of text, short stories, articles ) all of them….
5. Poems, lots of poems…

It’s a stinging feeling of loss. Ununderstandable to anyone else. But something which means that I have cut off ties to a land, a time of long before. Au revoir my childhood. I am ready to move on….
