Must Watch - Part I

REMEMBER THE TITANS : Based on the true story of the explosive events that took place in Alexandria, Virginia in 1971 when African-American football coach Herman Boone was hired to guide an integrated but racially polarized high school team--the T.C. Williams Titans. Angry, stubborn and a rigid taskmaster, Boone faces a cool reception from the team's players as well as an awkward relationship with assistant coach Bill Yoast, a local white man with seniority and a tradition of winning who was bypassed for the job. It's made clear that Bill has feelings of animosity for having to be an assistant under a black man. As the two men learn to overcome their ignorance and bigotry and realize that they have much in common--integrity, honor, and a strong work ethic--they work together to transfom a group of angry, unfocused players into a dynamic winning team of responsible young men. In the process, they also unite a divided community and ensure that Virginia will always "Remember the Titans."
Watch out Denzel Washington in this performance.As always , he is at his best !


COYOTE UGLY:A sexy romantic comedy featuring a spectacular soundtrack, "Coyote Ugly" is the story of one girl's wild adventure in the big city. Graced with a velvet voice, 21-year-old Violet Sanford heads to New York to pursue her dream of becoming a songwriter, only to find her aspirations sidelined by the accolades and notoriety she receives at her "day" job as a bar maid at Coyote Ugly. A new nightclub with a twist, Coyote Ugly is the hottest spot in town, featuring a team of sexy, enterprising young women who tantalize customers and the media alike with their outrageous antics.
The soundtrack is great as well as the scene where Goodman dances on the bar counter !!


THE COWBOY WAY:Two buddies and championship rodeo partners travel to New York to find their missing friend, Nacho Salazar, after he disappears after travelling to New York City to pick up his daughter, Theresa. When Pepper and Sonny find that neither is anywhere to be found, they go about the wacky adventure of finding Nacho and Theresa, and in the process, test the foundation of their friendship. Along the way, they find themselves entwined in the inner workings of a New York sweat shop where Theresa has been enslaved after traveling to the U.S.A. from Cuba. Going about doing things in a cowboy way, Pepper and Sonny put their small town skills to the test in a big city kind of way and rescue Theresa from the thugs.
Watch out for the expression on the face of Pepper when he rams his red truck through the shady Bar !!



Lies , Lies and More Lies !!

Only two people on this planet can come up with enough lies in one day.

1.A person who is defending oneself against charges with respect to 9/11
2.An MBA ass-pi-rant on the day of a GD PI process.

Why I say this ??
The first one is obvious (Or the person is Zacarias Moussaoui )
The second one is what I will try and justify. You may comment on the validity of the justification later bit don’t bullshit me by completely negating it.

Question: Tell me about yourself, Son.

Answer: I am a confidant person Sir (Even though I piss in my pants when I come on stage)
Answer: I have good interpersonal and communication skills Sir (Yesterday I smacked one SOB who made fun of me…calling me “Jaat re Jaat, Solah duni Aath”)
Answer: I am a team player (as if I care)

Question: Why do you want do to an MBA, Son ?

Answer: (Words coming out of the mouth) An “Education in Management” (and not MBA, eh?) would provide me with skills and tools (Ha!!) required to be succesf…Cut the crap!!

Answer: (In the evil mind and the truth) I wanna do an MBA cos:
1.I couldn’t land up with a decent job, so I’ve nothing to do.
2.MBA is the easiest way to make quick money.
3.I hate my job even though I say to you that “I am loving IT”
4.I am a loser as far as the opposite sex is concerned.Maybe during my MBA , I would patao a bimbo !!

And the icing on the cake.And this actually happened with me at the an interview !

Question: What are the things you look, Beta, before applying to an institute??

Had I told him what I am gonna write next, I would have cleared that GD PI too (another call in the Kitty and one unlucky chap demolished)

Answer: With my genuine-est face forward! Sir, I look at the infrastructure, faculty and everything else and ……blah blah blah……..
The bottom line is that I would say Placements as my least priority!!

The answer I gave: My first priority is placements , Sir……….
Long sannataa………….the panelist blasts me…. Is this an employment exchange that we have opened here??
I say I would be lying to you if I said that I was not looking at placements…. AND I also consider faculty etc
(The truth is…. balls to the method of teaching and the number of books in the library). The building must look cool and the placements must be whooping!!

And this is a fact. Every query I came across at forums regarding an institution, the first one would invariably be “What are the placements at **** seniors ??"
Some ass-pi-rants are more specific (probably Military people). They ask “What are the Finance placements at ****??” and “What is the median and average salary at ****??"

My question is: Is this not hypocrisy?? The panel knows you will lie (As a matter of fact they expect it), you lie and they select the best liar. I know this is what marketing people will support but still. Where are the so-called Ethics and Mission Statements of institutes gone??

I have read enough bullshit on various forums on How the panel can perceive you (Hell, Even I said this on PG!!), How experienced they are at this but however hard I try to go with the common sentiments, the rebellious me says to me that the GD PI process is all a big farce (at least to some extent). Its more like Pro Wrestling (WWE style) where every one knows that’s its fake but still they play along.

If you are the lucky dog on that day, you would get the bone or else all you can do is whimper. This Tamasha of a 8 min GD and 10 min interview cant be called a “thorough selection process”.
Hell , my ex girlfriend couldn’t understand my fundamental traits in four long years of courtship ! How do I expect expect this selection panel to know me in just 8 minutes???

YoU kNoW wHo Am I

The Story behind The Hood !

I call this place as "The hood".Why I call it so ?? Its a long but not so long story.Read on.......
Let me aquaint you to the basics first.I am a part of Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management , New Delhi.In short LBSIM.Now on PG (dont ask what PG is !!) we have a dedicated thread for LBSIM.There we call us the Hood.Uptil now the Hood was an imaginary place.But now its an actual place (atleast on the cyber space).
Now let me come to the part which involves this "Naming" of batches.I spent around 7 months at the National Defense Academy,Pune.Dont ask why I am a civilian again because that might just be the next title for a new post !! Anyways , back to where I was.At the Academy , there is a tradition of naming batches of different squadrons.Names like Charlie Champions , Mike Mustangs , Hunter Heroes etc.Since I still have some of the acquired military viruses in me , I decided to call our batch at LBSIM as The Hood.
Where does the name Hood comes from ?? Well its a pick up from the movie The Godfather.The mafia around those days was called as the hood due to the shady nature.Although there is nothing shady about our Hood but feels good to keep that ambience and ward off evil !!
And to know what The Hood has been upto at the institute as well as otherwise(Breaking Rulz !!) , I create this space on the Net.Everything will be the way I view it so expect the posts to be a bit blatant.But "blatant" is in as is "honesty" !! I expect everyone to comment,with out any apprehensions.
And I swear this blog stays for a minimum of two years.I always find time to blast others !!!
