Somehow I feel wasted, and screwed. My mind doesn’t work, my heart doesn’t pound anymore.. I was living, someone told me last night I need to live again. Where is all the vigor? Where has all my interest gone? I feel , I can’t put it in words… I feel weak, and completely bored with life. I feel like I don’t want to survive, I want this course to get over… I thought MBA was the best time in someone’s life, for me it is turning out to be the worst. I cannot seem to figure out what is going wrong.. I somehow can… It seems pointless. Life’s a bitch… I can’t get sleep, it takes me an hour to fall asleep after lying down, the smiles are fake, the smiles are a cover for what is inside – I feel I have no one who understands me… Everyone around me seems to be running ahead at a faster pace than I am, everyone around me seems to be charging ahead, and look at me stuck where I am… it feels more bad, it feels worse, just an addition to my woes. God! When will this end… <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>This is not me.. This is so not me.. I somehow miss my life, I wish I could turn back time… Sigh <span style="font-family: Wingdings;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-char-type: symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Wingdings"><span style="mso-char-type:symbol; mso-symbol-font-family:Wingdings">L</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>Nikhil Neelakantanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678754385174928111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159610657151349626.post-34127271983540717352009-10-03T00:02:00.001+05:302009-10-03T00:04:43.421+05:30???I came to this course with great energy...

You know what, I was sitting in class today missing my friends and few more people in life who would make me smile any single day. The chosen few who would make me smile and bring life into me any single day. A person who I would do everything for, I dont want to take names, but the person would definitely know who I am talking about. There are times in life, when we do good things and great things, but life still feels so incomplete without those people. The person who would keep me going all the time, life feels so wasted without them so meaningless. God Bless them with all happiness and care and love. I would just wait again and again till i talk to them the next time.Nikhil Neelakantanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678754385174928111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159610657151349626.post-59061842404784994762009-09-18T22:41:00.002+05:302009-09-18T22:48:01.766+05:30What do I say??I am missing a voice...

Life has changed, thrown challenges at me over the last three months. The good have become bad, the bad have become good, things that I thought would work, didn’t, and things that didn’t , did… My business school has been a great place-we have had a lot of fun over the last 3 months. Life is a rollercoaster, a fucking bad one…. The strongest survive and the weak perish… The value of the strength of the mind has been realized. It has been a real interesting time. Life changes and the need to adapt to changes is important. I miss my parents today, I haven’t spoken to them at length ever since I joined this course – Life does so much that you never find time for people who actually love you and actually stand by your side. In fact the ones that stand by you are the ones you hardly see. This post comes across with a sense of belief, resonance and character. The worst is over, the best is yet to come... I have made great buddies, adds to the list of my ever increasing list of friends… To the MBS fraternity….

It was 1 week back when I was having a heated discussion with Anubhav on their decision to rent a new apartment, it was 2 days back when I was giving dada my usual gyaan. Life is a game… I used to hate, love my roommates, I used to get very very annoyed with them. I used to laugh at them… laugh with them… advise them, take advise from them…<br />My life is moving to a different level, I have moved to my relative’s place in Mumbai, I am going to wuit my company, this is my last week at work, I have left my apartment, I have this weird feeling within me… I miss the time I spent with them, though we didn’t spend too much of it… I miss staying with the boys… Its true when they say, you realise the value of people only when they are not with you.... Cheers guys - thanks for adding another eventful chapter in my life....Nikhil Neelakantanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678754385174928111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159610657151349626.post-4176790624562846442009-01-28T20:48:00.002+05:302009-01-28T20:54:34.634+05:30Bizarre Thoughts!!!Neha and I had an out of the ordinary dialogue on relationships.

The final one..I leave today.... with a heavy heart.. my Chennai trip comes to an end... I did practically nothing on this trip as there were a very few people here... and those few were busy working... The little i went out was to the Bessi beach with Anusha and Diksha on friday night... there are more beggars and sleazy people than sane homo sapiens on the beach... I probably had the nicest drive that night recollecting old Mumbai memories with an ex-mumbaite :) the jain lady... I met up with my college buds yesterday i.e. Saturday... caught a couple of drinks with them... <br />My Mom left to coimbatore last night, I dont know why I had mixed emotions.. I was feeling a little sad :O... probably cos she left before I did an i probably wouldnt be making it back to Chennai for a long time... It was a weird emotion which I cannot describe in words... That sums up my trip... It was a good one, I think finally i spent quality time with my parents :) ... Something that they always expected me to do over 2 years now.... I have about 24 hours to recollect my thoughts... get set for Patni Computer Systems day after ...

I reached Chennai safe and sound, on time, on Friday night... My mum also arrived on time... thankfully... I spent friday night chatting with my folks till about 2 in the morning... Saturday was ok... I didnt do much, I visited dad's office and got prepared for the party and pooja which we were going to have on the 18th... I was at the airport in the evening with Manish to pick up Mr. and Mrs. Bhatnagar - Dad's friends for close to 30 years... - They are Shikha's Mausa and Mausi... We were also surprised by Dad's othe<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvPTVipBzLFxVkpOBeH0SFjISpzOZvq7l8JQuX91aOiYoyH19jnz4pWQ3cERluJxdjx-PIfm4O52sdTqfANP9IzHXURU7ZCeFSkPyxXXgBkLg5o-LBcv6kY8sHQ58o0iVgTbmW8Dwmiroc/s1600-h/n516805467_5491309_9966.jpg"></a>r friends, Ramdas Uncle and Cauthy Aunty who had come from Muscat just for this occasion.... Later that night I headed to Zara's with Neha, Srujana, Prithvi and Sonia... I almost ditched the plan that night seeing the number of people at home - I would have gotten murdered by Neha Parnandi, had I not gone that night...<br />18th Morning started with a pooja - Sudarshana Homum as it is called - I was up early on the 18th morning, and attended the Pooja which went on till about 10 in the morning... Over the afternoon, Manish had come home - we decided to give my dad a bottle of Johnny Walker Swing... We went upto Alsa Mall and bought a bottle of the same... We had close to about 25 people at home in the evening for the get together thaqt followed.. I was lucky to have alcohol from dad's priced possessions - his Glenn Fiddich.... The scene was on till about midnight... and thats how the Sunday ended...<br />19th Jan was a lazy day... I had not had much of sleep - all family and friends wanted to go Shopping - I decided to stay at home... We all went out for dinner post which I headed to Neha's place for about a couple of hours... She leaves today, all my dad's friends leave today... Froom about 15 people at home 24 hours back - it would be just Dad, Mom, and me..... :(<br />Half my trip is over... 4 more days to go...Nikhil Neelakantanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678754385174928111noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159610657151349626.post-29175550630335813352009-01-16T17:26:00.002+05:302009-01-16T17:32:04.181+05:30Chennai it is...I am at Mumbai airport - my flight is in 40 minutes... I have a whirlpool of thoughts running through my head... I could not have had a better homecoming than this time, I meet my mom at the airport- she lands 20 minutes after I do [if our flights are on time]... I am leaving behind a rough patch... a rough ride which was more of an educational lesson... I have learnt so much in Mumbai over 2 years... this place is fantastic, cos you get belted and your transform as an individual...<br /><br />I cant wait to get home... have Neha ke ghar ka andhra khana... Sambhar and Rasam... I have been craving to have south indian food...this trip has a lot in store... and yeah above all... it is my parents 25th wedding anniversary...<br /><br />Ok I need to board now... :)Nikhil Neelakantanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678754385174928111noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159610657151349626.post-73902993421548651602009-01-07T23:38:00.002+05:302009-01-07T23:43:00.487+05:30Masakali Matakkali....Off late, Sonam Kapoor is looking astonishingly pretty n drop dead gorgeous...

I have this lame feeling inside me as if nothing has changed, nothing has altered... it feels the same.... thats not too much of an issue, I have a lot of things up my mind... it is time, for bigger and better things to come... it is time for more problems to prop up, I guess I would be better equipped to handle them. I cant wait to get home, spend some time with folks, the phase between October to now has been a bummer on the personal front... a good week away from Mumbai will give me time off to settle down, consolidate myself and come back with good spirits.... it will also help me spend good quality time with my parents, and my best friends... Neha is in Chennai, I cant wait to see her... there is so much of catching up to do.... Manish is going to be there - as always - my best bud.... and to top it all up, it is my prent's 25th wedding anniversary.... :-). Its a good good package to get to my favorite city - Chennai - my roads, my city...<br />As for new years it was a good -different from last years - [ spent the night yapping with Neha last years in Chennai] - I met up with my favorite - Shikha Bhatnagar for dinner last night [2nd January]... Shikha, Rita, Srikanth and I spent close to 3 hours dining at Goa Porutgesa.... Further to that Srikanth and I were gifted with a great train ride from Dadar to home at 1 AM in the morning. I guess that was the most pleasant journeys I have had... [the train was empty] :O.... Signing off...

I do not know anything, nothing, everything, nobody, somebody, anybody.... Well that is what this is , do I even know what I am writing here??? How does it feel when life backfires on your face, how does it feel when everynight you go to bed, you got a thought in your mind, when you wake up, you think exactly the opposite... how do you feel when you know within yourself that you are an extremely vulnerable, defenseless, susceptible, and you hit rock bottom... you find yourself probably 10 feet inside the ground, you itch on doing things you cant do...you wish on a million things which dont happen... you like the glossy outside picture, but you feel sick, franctic, frenzied from within.... You know your true self from inside, you can hide that from the world - at the same time you run from yourself... What do you do when you see your inner conscience laughing at you... I wouldnt say laughing, but I would say ridiculing, mocking.... Its insane, I dont know... It is like the world is at one end and you at the other.... it is like my nerves my heart, my brain, my body is all strectchin two ways apart... and pulling you down... What do i do, what do i do, what do i do.... its like a bell that rings for eternity...Nikhil Neelakantanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678754385174928111noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159610657151349626.post-39610182146291301812008-12-01T23:50:00.004+05:302008-12-02T00:07:18.325+05:30If you fear the men who came by the boat, fear also the men who came by vote!!!Views, Outlook, analysis, scrutiny, feedback, statements...loads of them over one week. The attacks at Mumbai are the hot topic, they need to be, 10 men brougt the city to a standstill... 10 is the number given, dont know how many there were... Post the incident we saw a lot of top heads rolling, the ministers resigned, no one had any answers to what had happened... No one wanted to be answerable, they saw resignation as a way to get out of all this.... this doesnt solve our problem does it?? Are we safe?? Answer - a big NO!!! I heard this today : " All the top politicians have security, and if the government cant give us security, give us our guns so that we can protect ourselves". It is really lucid... politicians, are not doing anything-the opposition blames the party in power, does not want to do anything about the situation. I know one thing, even if the opposition was in power, the same things would have happened. We dont have good options to choose from, all want the power without responsibility.... I am sorry to say, I am ashamed of people in politics today... They let the country down... :-(Nikhil Neelakantanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678754385174928111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159610657151349626.post-637887163299039602008-10-11T19:18:00.003+05:302008-10-11T19:31:31.105+05:30ExpectationsExpectations - One of the most common topics of discussion. Everyone has expecations, parents from their children and vice versa, people in relationships have expectations from each other.... Talking about the latter, the lady feels man always has a lot of expectation from her, the man feels the same.... Talking about it to my best bud about issues confronted, i came up with a conclusion that the most vital thing to do at anytime in a relationship is to sit down and converse... converse, with an open mind, be ready to listen, hear out your partner.... Looking into a lot of arguments that people have in relationships, most of them are unnecessary, useless... Only if you could sit down and talk and come to a mutual conclusion all of them can be avoided... if not all most of them... Love with happiness is important, as one of my friend writes up her blog, I agree... happinees is the most important thing, but the road to happiness has seldom been thought about...<br />Being Negative about fights is the worst thing you can do... cos fights happen due to expectations that are not met... It would be more sensible to think about how to avoide the situation going forward, making your point clear, in the most amicable way... than brooding about the past... Committment... If you are in it commit to it, dont think about anything else... this is it... aggression is desired to the maximum.... Work on a relationship... its for the good, look forward and look positive, and trust me it pays over the long run.... Work together cos its about you and someone else... trust the person you are with to understand you-the aggression comes in there... And always believe that no one is perfect - all can be wrong... everyone... Its you who make the best out of your partner, dont give up on him/her... if he/she is the one...<br /><br />Might sound like a stupid write up... implement these... it does all a world of good... Parents, Girlfriend, everyone!!!

Clueless!!!Haven't blogged in over 2 months, I have the guilt within me of not blogging. It has been a rough ride over two months, tides turned, situations confronted me I saw a lot of happiness and a lot of sorrow. I was talking to my friend yesterday, and yes we picked on the most common topic relationships.... Discussing for about half an hour, I was in office-8:30 PM it was, I was tired after 12 hours of work. Concluding , we decided that all relationships have issues, and the ones who say they dont are faking. Loads of thoughts came up, loads of issues come up, the most commonly being expectations. I realised on thing at the end of it, expectations are very different from wither end, the man and the lady.... No 2 individuals in a relationship are similar, cos no 2 individuals are similar... basically signifying, however good the relationship is, the people in it are no way similar... each individual is different and it is undersanding, that is the basis of the relationship.Nikhil Neelakantanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678754385174928111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159610657151349626.post-90388484177054090362008-08-11T17:40:00.003+05:302008-08-11T17:47:55.976+05:30Culture Curry!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMHBP8Cti2D3CllZBFMxm0VR4yVX4Px7g-HQ0aU3kNoCeuEja04qFSsm3wU-ZtIXNSOKYe1DfuOo6LLrDNRZi9OuFc7JCKFtSenpcwgyM_-TPTzzch2z6RsdiDNgcjpDcfUtf4wZ6bKVWi/s1600-h/DSC01806.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233232682715208274" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMHBP8Cti2D3CllZBFMxm0VR4yVX4Px7g-HQ0aU3kNoCeuEja04qFSsm3wU-ZtIXNSOKYe1DfuOo6LLrDNRZi9OuFc7JCKFtSenpcwgyM_-TPTzzch2z6RsdiDNgcjpDcfUtf4wZ6bKVWi/s320/DSC01806.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>With all the mess in life that is happening, I have finally managed to develop a new hobby. My mom is proud of it... but is worried I would forget the GMAT and spend half my time in the kitchen. I am so into cooking now... Over the weekend, we prepared, south indian Vathakozhambu (hope i spelt it right) and Chicken Hyderabadi. It tasted awesome... I need to move into some other styles of cooking... I wish my brother-in-law reads this post, he would be proud of me!!!! Slurrrp!!!</div>Nikhil Neelakantanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678754385174928111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159610657151349626.post-32631645847219367032008-06-29T22:42:00.004+05:302008-06-29T22:51:13.409+05:30Mind & People....Is understanding someone so difficult??? Why do people say they understand you, but later you feel they dont understand you one bit... Why do people, do things that you dont like saying they are doing it for your good... Why do people, be happy with you, but the moment you expect something out of them , they do exactly something, that you dont want... why do people,who you like make you feel so empty... why do people, not do what they feel and do things, for others... why are people so confused, and not know what they want... why do people, think one rough patch is the end of all... why do people not know how to handle confrontations... why do people be partial and take you for granted... why do people make you feel shallow and demeaned as ever... why do people not understand what is right/wrong, and still claim to be close to you... why do people, want something and do something else.... why are people so not prone to changes... why dont people get over the past... why dont people want to accept reality... why do people set double standards... why do people do and say things for the moment, and make all extinct the time the moment is over... Why do people, while knowing you still say they dont know you... People... and the mind... the 2 biggest traitors in life!!!Nikhil Neelakantanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678754385174928111noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159610657151349626.post-4455917329099067272008-06-15T12:27:00.002+05:302008-12-12T02:16:08.294+05:30The appraisals....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDoLB_NsfyG8xYg34IClDSopL5iQEN6Th124dGpVgecU1IVCAtOnXTUuAA0GNplLXJWOl6YpI7ypBl0UZvYtHODlliYR758_3NiqhfqooW0MCUy5iteEZH7DX58pZZ2lcAqL8e7YDg8vjS/s1600-h/DSC00213.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212003786509237490" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDoLB_NsfyG8xYg34IClDSopL5iQEN6Th124dGpVgecU1IVCAtOnXTUuAA0GNplLXJWOl6YpI7ypBl0UZvYtHODlliYR758_3NiqhfqooW0MCUy5iteEZH7DX58pZZ2lcAqL8e7YDg8vjS/s320/DSC00213.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Its been a long hard one and half years for all of us, from the Sept 4th batch, the most wanted(for all the wrong reasons)... It has been a mxed experience for all of us. A lot of talk has happened on how, good /bad the apapaisals would be... Patni is a low payer than all other IT companies in the market.. and with the market being low we didnt know what to expect... It has comee out well, for me atleast with money not being the criteria... I wanted a good, name, a good rating an I got it.... good appraisals in my terms, a wee bit disappointing, with probably justifiable reasons... So we went and celebrated... on friday night, in a pub called XTC. We were regulars, there, had a lot of fun... Arun, myself Anubhav, Vishwesh, and Sudipta A.k.a Dada... All's well, the aggression is on, going forward, would be a new page in the book... A lot of me that people dont know, is going to be seen... I think Govind, knows that, and Arun knows. With high hopes, I head into the next year... :-)</div>Nikhil Neelakantanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678754385174928111noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159610657151349626.post-90325471980581088602008-06-09T10:58:00.001+05:302008-12-12T02:16:08.520+05:30Ronaldo-Will he move???<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrwMM130k6ahu158uYfb5rfVE_lC7GlyimoMRwQRt0J8wLyXsDhV4e3TDeOkWjVYJlEePiJTnJkD5ReEDAqsGZFjQsyppGG3CyfStb5zfYMMXQg7hcIIfMNKp8DJgi2q_rydTXcCAAY86E/s1600-h/Ronaldo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209751645457279970" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrwMM130k6ahu158uYfb5rfVE_lC7GlyimoMRwQRt0J8wLyXsDhV4e3TDeOkWjVYJlEePiJTnJkD5ReEDAqsGZFjQsyppGG3CyfStb5zfYMMXQg7hcIIfMNKp8DJgi2q_rydTXcCAAY86E/s320/Ronaldo.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>I wished for a holiday today, it didnt happen... Finally the traffic got to me this morning... I am in a little different state of mind, with respect to yesterday, probably cos it is a Monday morning. The Euro's have kicked off, I am rooting for the Portugese and the Azzuri's. Portugal, has played its game, won it... the Azzuri's face the dutch tonight. I was going through the articles, about the portugese victory, about Ronaldo being given the captain's arm band. I am proud about it, he is a Manchester United player. I have the Red Devil Blood in my veins. The question being, he wants to leave, and wants to leave to a club called Real Madrid, which I hate only for the reason that it regularly buys, the best players from Manchester United... I am a little, wary about this transfer, I dont want Ronaldo to leave... He needs to be at this club, he needs to stay here, for himself, for the fans, and for the club...!!!! Just hoping, Ronnie, is wise, and stays back at Old Trafford.. after all we won the double this year.... Sigh!!!Nikhil Neelakantanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678754385174928111noreply@blogger.com5
