Done with first 2 exams of my MBA career......
Obviously after last late nite, I crashed as soon as I came to my room.... N ever since I’ve gotten up, this feeling about this something is bothering me....
Well, with the end of this semester I will have no AS classes :-(
They were primarily the reason why I attended college and had 100% attendance :-)
Neither will I have screenings!!!!!!
Well for all ma friends who do not know who AS is!!A lil backgrounder, He happens to be our GOD and RELIGION here :-)
Atleast most of ours....
He shouts at us, he is mean to us, he never lets us wear what we want to (I’m 22 yrs old and I know wat to wear!!), he calls us leeches and parasites sucking our parents blood, he does mass addressing on few people’s fault, he never let me take my assignment while I was unwell and back home L, he is too harsh on us!! BUT, that’s besides the point, he is this person, who never does anything without a reason!!He knows his stuff in and out..
Folks, one can only imagine how much of movies and their intricacies would a Software Engineer know!! N after I came here, believe me, I know all that he’s taught so well that I’m not kidding I feel like shifting to Audio Visual Production!!
He shouts at us cause we behave like animals more often than not.
He doesn’t let us wear what we want because he realised these 20+ yr “MBA graduates” do NOT have the sense of decent dressing and well I would refrain from getting into the details..
We are indeed leeches and parasites because very few here have realised the value of our parents and the amount of time , money and energy they’ve spent on us, irrespective of their status and affordability capability!!
He addresses all of us on one person’s mistake because most of our notorious acts are when we are in big number. Rightly said, most of us have developed Mob Mentality!!
N he did not let me do my assignments because there is a system that he and I and everyone here is a part of and the least we can do is RESPECT it by following it..
He is too harsh on us because he sees those Spoilt kids in most of our eyes!! But, offlate he has become so relaxed with us.
My first semester has been a bag of mixed feelings, ......FROM dislike towards certain issues in hostel, food, transport, availability, disappointment by many a faculty, from times I wondered what am I doing here after Engineering and successful and viable career options infront of me.....
TO those very thoughts of attending a AV lecture and trying to analyse different aspects of film making, to watching the old classics, to cribbing about the assignments overload to .......!!
Things are so weird now, each time I watch a movie, by default I end up seeing the lights, camera movement, scenes, sound and video coordination, etc. N now I know Filmmaking is not all about glamour and every tom, dick and harry's cup of tea but its so much hardwork and intelligent vision inclusive!!
I’m definitely going to miss not having the AV lectures, not getting to listen to those world class ripping sessions in the class!!I’m really gonna miss watching movies with 120 others in college!! And more importantly miss AS!!

Adios Batch C4:-)
First Semester gets over!!
Happy:-) and sad:-(
Happy cuz m done with semester of hard work( Literally hard cuz i have completed close to 30 assignments successfully!) N sad, cuz m gonna miss a couple of people who will not be in my class nomore cuz we will be segregated according to our specializations..
But I’d dedicate this blog to those other 13 people from my batch I spent my last 3 months with very closely...
Well, we were divided into batches A, B, C, D when we joined SIMC and then further subdivided into 4 sub groups and I was allocated group C4.Frankly, back then it hardly made very little difference cause I knew no one. But, a week later, I began having issues because I personally thought the group was a mix of “Lallus” and the “I am the Boss” crowd. I was trying to fit in!! But, trust me you, this group is the best to have happened to me in 3 months here. Its like ur at home when its just the 14 of us..An absolutely crazy group, fights and has issues but at the end of it all is so bonded and open!!
I shall take the privilege of introducing the people to you:
Namrata Parekh aka DoubtFire: Hahahahahahaha, this woman made me pull my hair and hit my head on the walls when I first met her!! We, were given a radio assignment(GROUP) and madame happens to be an RJ(Big Ppl) and hence tried to have her say and suppress everyone else (though Nishant and Varun dint let her, hhehehehehehe). But, thats beside the point, she came across as this gal who wants to make her presence felt and I couldn’t quite stand her (Sorry for this:-)). This impression actually continued for a while. But, she turned out to be sweet and nice (Thanx to my “I don’t judge people" attitude). She is basically this overgrown kid who thinks she knows all and has to be heard!! Never lets ne1 sleep in the class cuz of her questions. There was always some or the other person she pissed, without realising!! But, of what I have known her, she is absolutely harmless and will help you whenever you need someone!!She has a dysfunctional funny bone and NAMRATA, u better treat C4 for bearing all those jokes of urs and then for EVEN laughing to make u feel good:-)
She is a sweetheart and my MAMMA PUP!!Miss gujju, I will miss u and all those love and hate sessions v’ve had :-)
Sneha Padiyath aka the Hardworker: Hmmm, Hardcore Journo!!She was the only gal in the group I knew and liked initially. One thing I admire her for his her FOCUS and dedication. She is fun and bubbly and oozing with excitement all the time. She has to know everything and makes sure she does. But, I can’t not mention her 70’s Hairbands I almost fell in love with, ROTFL(Pls don’t kill me for this)..When u try to sleep in the class and look ahead if the teacher is looking at u, all u can see is Sneha’s Hairband:-), though she looks very cute in them..
Category: Workoholic. She ensures all her assignments are done well. Sneha, I remember made this presentation in MRM class on “Women in Journalism” and quoting her “It was like she was spraying Sleeping Gas........... With each slide, one head down” was hilarious!! But trust me if I was awake I’d have loved the presentation..
She is one of the people I’m gonna genuinely miss not having in the class :-)
She is this friend I love teasing and pulling her leg..A fun person to hang out with and she has all the garam garam NEWS all the time. Way to go journo!!!!N m sorry if I hurt u in ne of those leg pulling attempts :-)
Faisal aka Dawood: This man was the ENTERTAINMENT package of C4 and people bid for him but couldn’t take him away from our batch. A typical Faisal, nevr let any of us complete the assignments because he HAD to have that world class chai after the class got over and hence refused to wait for one extra minute. His accent, for which he was acknowledged by Ananya Sir, got onto the batches nerve. But, the best part about him is, he never makes an attempt to be someone else! N thats what I admire him for. He took all our jokes in the right spirit and was a sport. He has been a sweetheart to all of us, though a lil irritating at times, he is FuN nevertheless. He can get you into trouble (BizComm Group Presentation ) and be your saviour (Biz Comm Individual presentation where I used his accent to hide my inability to talk clearly because of ulcers on my toungeJ). Faijal as I call him, is the best entertainer I have ever come across:-) I will definitely miss Faijal and his Saudi class questions:-) (As against the world class questions ppl in my class ask)
Faijal papa u rock :-)
Nishant Roy Bombarde oops Shah: His name was never spelt correctly (even now isn’t)Father Of Photoshop as we termed him!! This dude’s like a 4 year who goes to nursery and has already been taught alphabets and numbers at home..He knows most of the softwares, photography, electronic media, I wonder what he’s doing here then:-) But,a sweet guy with the KILLER combo of being a GUJJU brought up in TAMIL NADU;-)
Very focussed and all he talks about is Advertising, Advertising, Advertising and more of it..Milinda mam’s pet..Comes across as a sweet, harmless, I do my work guy. N ya, not to forget, Nishant sang “Twinkle Twinkle Lil Star” in the radio class and later he was diagonised with temperature!!:-).This one’s the typical TENSION PARTY..
The Shahrukh Khan “Baazigar” hairstyle, lean and tall with hair covering most of his face! Teetotaller, I wonder what he is doing in life. Sweet guy to hang out with. When it comes to work he is all for it and very focussed and believes in giving 100%.
Varun Ravindran aka the Sheep:-): Varun is this cute thing of our group who sings for us and dances and does the SHEEP DANCE exclusively for C4:-) He is the typical film guy and is interested in all the practicals that happen. The energy and encouragement dose for the group. He is an absolute sweetheart and tries to keep all happy. Extremely funny.
Megha Bhat aka the khakro ni ghagro: I call her Khakra Ghagra..Quiet, sweet, soft spoken and the typical “Guys mum will like” gal. She is Ok with everything and doesn’t get involved in any of the group arguments. An aspiring filmmaker..:-)Gujju gal and extremely emotional.. Peaceful and knows her stuff right!!
Niharika Kalra: KARLA..The one woman always tries to boss around(Karla, this is after common consensus and not an individual opinion :-))!!Not like any of us let her do it :-) She is the fun element of the group!! Always out with something or the other. Her confrontations with Faijal are more interesting than Cricket World Cup finals between India and Pakistan :-)
This confused soul is here for Journalsim and after comig here, her inner light is switched on and she wants to do Audio Visual Production now:-) Her new found love for camera, mics & electronic equipment are her reasons to be there. Extremely expressive, loud and on ur face. Miss Karla is of the category, Love me or Hate me, U can’t ignore me!! Punjabi from Sindh and Pune and Andamans and Vizag and Bombay and....
She is FUN and GAME for nething netime. She has some guts man!!
Neha Kejriwal: Chojen?? Nehhhh, She’s my PUP!! Cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is the only word i can use to describe her. She is like a kid who when gets angry sits away from the group and stops talking to all of us and when no one notices, she comes back and tells us all “People I am angry with all of u all”. She is our Model for photography, video, radio, the volunteer for everything..She a sport and gets angry at the drop of a pin and is as easily convinced. My Pup is the sweetest thing around:-) Muaaaaaaaaaaah
Shweta Bathija aka the WHITEYYYYY!!: BATHIJA!!!!!My new found best friend :-) She is the best guest one can ever have :-) She is fun. She is unfortunately suffering from severe lack of Melanin:-) and hence is extraordinarily fair! She is this person who can never shout at anyone or be rude to anyone(I learnt this recently)! She is very good with her work. Creative and constructive, always has ideas and suggestions for the team :-) The deadly combination of a Punjabi Kudi from Tamil Nadu :-) Shweta is a sweetheart , muaaaaaaaah..
Mehul aka Khaman Dhokla:-): Meuuuuuuuuuuuuuul. The gujju boy and the PET of the whole group. He hardly talks but when he does master pieces like the “ROOBARUU” song he sang in radio class are created!!He is extremely soft spoken and even when he is angry, he can’t show it on his face....He was teaching us Garba in the studio:-)
Tripti Modi aka the innocent face but not so inncocent deeds :-): Quiet, soft spoken, cute, timid, sweet, etc is what people think she is!!BUT, people you have been deceived by that innocent face, this lady is LOUD, Rebellious, Naughty and wants to have fun all the time! She has the weirdest of ideas which if I reveal no one on the face of earth will believe is true! She is one of the few people I’m close to here. An absolutely adorable thing, she’s my pup’s pup and hence we are family so that extra love!!Trips, love u, muaaaaaaaaaaaah :-)
Ahimsa: Duh, thats her name I'm not making it up!!!!That was my expression when I first heard her name!!!But, as the LEGENDARY Shakespeare said, "Whats in a name", she is a living example of mismatch...She is not Ahimsik in ne of her acts:-)
But, Ahimsa is sweet and this tiny thing trying to put across her point till she is heard!!This Bihar ki chori has a strong will and is here to make her Laloo proud of her!!:-) Hard core journo, always ready with questions and doubts!! All in all sweet to be
Sridutt aka the DEDICATED techie boy, wannabe Filmamker:-): He knows what he is here for!!One of my closest friends here. I absolutely adore him for being so patient and focussed.. He is the best company one can have and I’m really gonna miss not having him around all the time :-). He is extremely good at his stuff and never makes fake promises. He is someone I look upto for the clarity of thought he has. Sri, looking forward to a rocking Footprints.. N thanks for helping me out all those times u did :-) Rockstar!!
After jotting down about the group in points and highlighting the names, I think I have taken UKC sir a lil too seriously!!Well, I have had awesome 3 months here, and these people have been a part of it and so thanks to each one of u for being what you are :-) Haven’t been able to justify how I feel because of lack of time:-) and nearing exam..No attempt to offend anyone, if anything I said has offended anyone, m sorry:-) love u guys, C4 ROXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:-)
