Fantasy Cricket Competition

Hi This is an open challenge to all the guys in our class....and some of the girls as well...I DARE anyone to defeat me in the cricinfo fantasy tournament for the Champions Trophy starting on 22.09.09...This game is basically like super selector...you have to make your own team out of a pool consisting of players from all the eight participating teams..Ur team should have specific order of batsmen, bowlers, allrounders and a wicket keeper. The points are scored based upon the real life performances of your selected players in the upcoming Champions Trophy..

There is also another fantasy game, entitled Champions Trophy Pick'em..In this you just have to choose who is the winner of each game that is played, and your points are tabulated acc to the no of correct guesses you have give.

For complete info on the rules, scoring system, and creating teams go to the link below:

The best part is that i have also made an independant league, titled Jamia CMS. Only our class members will be present, and we will be competing with each other on who has the maximum points..You will also automatically competing with the rest of the world, to see whos no 1.. the top teams also get very big prizes...

So go to the site and create your team now! it doesnt take more than 10 mins..Its a hugely fun and addictive game, and im sure whoever plays will enjoy it..If you can create ur team before 22/9/09, you can earn some extra points..After creating a team, u can just post ur name over here, and i will add you to the League, so you can compete with the rest of the class...

So can anyone of you defeat me? I dont think so...

(p.s. if anyone else can defeat me, i will be giving them a prize as well...)

EID MUBARAK !!!!

Here's wishing all of you a Very Very Happy Eid !!! May God bless all of you and your families..

Business Suits....

Helo all...Hmmm...I was kinda absent from the blog for a couple of days, my laptop is screwed...so its kinda hard for me to access the net..
Well, the most important update i have is that our class URGENTLY needs to make business suits...all our seniors have them...We have to discuss the COLOR, the DESIGN of suit n tie, and most importantly, THE QUALITY (directly linked to price)...all our suits have to be same and brought n stitched from the same place..it can range anything from rs 2500 to rs 6000, its upto us..The suits are MANDATORY for most of our future events such as Alumni Meet, Placement activities, summer training, etc...

The Real Vote of Thanks !!!

Hello friends!!! How are all of you? I certainly hope that you enjoyed our Teacher's Day Events...Many people missed it, they didnt show up, well...TOO BAD!!!! It was really good, everyone liked it. It was the best organized event so far in our Centre. If i had to give marks, this event would have gotten 75/100. Our fresher's party would have gotten 30/100 and the HR quiz would have gotten 25/100. Both were super-duper flops. This 75/100 which im giving for our show is for overall execution. For dedication and commitment, our organizing team would have gotten 95/100...top marks! even tho everyone enjoyed the show, i still feel that there is a lot of room for improvement..Most of the confusion that happened today was not really our fault, since the whole itenary got changed exactly 10 mins before the start of the show...But still, we cant use tht as an excuse. I hope all of who were in the organizing commitee learned valuable lessons..with gained experience, im sure that our next event will run even more smoothly..
I have one regret for the day tho..It was concerning the Vote of Thanks given by our senior. it was not that it was boring or unintelligible, but the fact that she suffered acute amnesia when it came to thanking the actual people who did the work..Luckily, i suffer no such memory losses, so i present to you, my personal Vote Of Thanks:
1. First of all, i would like to thank my senior Nisha, for showing us exactly what NOT to do during a Vote of Thanks. I have learnt many valuable tips from her, and i shall implement it next time i have to give a speech (basically i will do exact opposite of whatever she did)..
2. Next on my list is Rahul. He is the most cool-headed guy i have met, and the best to have under any kind of emergency. He not only handled ALL the responsibilities i gave him, but he took on many more without me asking him, and he executed them brilliantly...Thanks Rahul...
3. I would also like to thank our Fazela. Shes a bit hot headed sometimes, but i think a forceful character is required for a leader. She was the perfect complement for Rahul, and together they worked as a perfect team. i think all of us can learn a lot from them, especially their dedication and hard work should be taken up as examples for everyone else..Thanks a lot Fazela....
4. Next i would like to thank the team of Mozzammil, Naveen and rohit.I think their Kaun Banega Dassvi Pass was the best event of the whole day...there was audio, video, speed round....the teachers really loved it..u guys rocked!!!!
5. I would also like to thank shweta, who single-handedly organized the entire "Bollywood Bollywood" Show..if any one of u noticed, she gave a speech of thanks at the end of her event..Now that's what i call a Vote of Thanks..Thanks Shweta, for knowing the actual definition of a vote of thanks...too bad our senior didnt...
6. I also want to thank the Ladies-only team of Hafsa, Shahla and Huma.. As usual, they did all the odd jobs that no one else wanted to do..They wrote the titles and poems for each teacher, filled out all the cards, decorated the hall, and a hundred other small small things that made a huge difference to the outcome of the entire event..my only complaint is that i think you girls should take on a much bigger role in the events, and should come in the limelight a bit more..You obviously have talent, i think its just a little bit of confidence ur lacking...the next MAJOR event coming up is our Alumni Meet, Rubaroo..I would like you girls to take the initiative this time and organize everything..
7. Next person i would like to thank is Naiyyer and fazlur. He was the one who had the idea for a game show in the first place and he took the entire initiative..The teachers enjoyed his show a lot too...tho naiyyer, atleast next time cut out your accent....and your Russel Peter Jokes..no one got them...
8. I also want to thank Mohit for lugging around speakers and projectors and chairs and other stuff that weighed more than him...thanks dude...(btw if anyone of you comment on MY weight, im just gonna delete that post..so dont bother... )
9. Next is Maleka..Her speech was short, to the point and full of emotion. you could feel that she wrote the entire thing herself, and not just copy pasted it from some website (unlike our senior)...
10. my heartfelt thanks also goes to Javed. He had written a shayeri just for the teachers and cms..thanks dude...next time just check the mike properly, or try speaking without a mike...u werent audible in the back..but the teachers loved it...
11. I really want to aplaud abhinav..he is the one who drew all the teachers carricatures..at the end of the day, suhaib, mehul and i went around all the facultie's cabins, pasting the pictures on their doors..you can check them out 2morro...
12. Our seniors who actually did work was Suhaib, Mehul and Abdullah. Many thanks to them, otherwise the whole event wud not have happened at all..I also thank my anchoring partner sheeba and our glorious vp Meeraj..
13. Last of all, but most imp for me i want to thank Nisha Zaid and farhan, who form my pillars of support in the class..They always cheer me up when im down and always support me through the bad times...they always keep me constantly motivated to giv emy best...Thanks guys.....
So thats pretty much it...Im sure i missed a lot of names, people who contributed to the evnt.actually, our entire class deserves credit...SO THANK YOU MBA 1st SEM !!!!! God Bless You ...and we should rock even harder during the next event....
Ciao,
Varun Nair.

hey guys see wht our life has become

hey guys well this is nice to see that guys and gals are raring to celebrate the teachers day, wellll i m feeling like i m once again in my school days whn we used to celebrate each others bdays, teachers days , children's day etc. then a time came we grew old , were supposed to be matured , not acting kiddish and running into the world of tension, studies and all these boring things. can't we enjoy it the whole of our life. welllll i no i m actin like romantics but yeah each one of us have a romantic in us but we suppress him for match with the norms of the society.

Hum jindagi ke 25 saal khud ko is society mein rahne ke kabil banane mein bita dete hain. oooph ye jindagi kitni complex ho gayi hai..

Teacher's Day

Hello friends! Well i want to officially announce that The Teacher's Day Celebrations are on Monday 07.09.09 from 1:45 onwards..The teachers and student advisors have declared that the entire event will be orgainized and hosted by the first years. So their entire eyes will be on us. i dont want it to turn out like the fresher's party..I want each and every one of your help and cooperation in this matter..I have given responsibility of overall coordination to Rahul and Fazela, and they are doing their jobs amazingly..i think all of us can learn a lesson from them..Then there are the people who are doing the individual events, they are each responsible for his/her event, that it shud be conducted smoothly..there shud be NO gap or pause between the events...when one show is goin on, the next act shud be ready and waiting to come on stage...

There is going to be singing, dumb charades, dart games (if i can get a dart board), best dressed teacher award (their dress code is blue), most popular teacher (who we will vote on Saturday), a game show like dus ka dum, a skit, shaeri readings, etc....so it will be loads of fun, all of u have to attend....pls stay back after class on Monday..

If anyone has a dart board, pls contact me, its very urgent....And stay back for voting after computer class...

Our Safety Is our Concern

Hello friends, well i hate to sound like a preachy grandmom, but most of us need a crash course in safety...we always flout rules and think tht we are invincibe, we will never get punished...i think by the time you read this, you must have heard the sad news that a B tech 2nd year student of jamia was crushed to death by a blueline in front of our college/holy family.. it may be the fault of the driver, or the students own fault, but at the end of the day, its his parents tht are suffering the most. I had gone to north delhi, and while coming back it started raining slightly. then it started raining heavily. then very heavily. i was stuck outside the indraprashta metro station in the downpour for 2 hours waiting for an auto, but cudnt get one...finally after having no choice, i started jumpin in front of passing cars...i started waving down cars, bikes, trucks, cows, anything....i almost got run down 4 times-finally one car stopped and told he will take me to jamia for 80 bucks...we finally decided on 90 bucks, but he wud drop me all the way to hostel..

but i cudnt reach the hostel..the whole area was blocked by police vans and ropes..our entire hostels (there are nine of them) were on the road, protesting...i cud see riot poilice readying for a lathi charge on the side.the students, were readying for a jolly good time throwing rocks and stones..somehow i got thru all the security and i reached my room. i was tired, wet, cold and hungry, but hey, im still alive! but wht abt the poor guy lying outside on the road?wht abt his family?it cud hve been one of us, touchwood. i always cross tht jamia u-turn road looking up in the sky..and so do most of the drivers..that equates into a very bad formula....

well all i wanna say is tht BE CAREFUL !!!!!! ur life is precious...dont end it under a pair of 20 yr old rubber wheels...u guys are doing mba, u hve so much to do...u have to become big corporate leaders and change the lives of millions of ppl...so dont rob ur self of all the good times ahead..

i have to go now...i can hear the crowd gettin noisier and theres a big rock waiting for me, with my name on it...

World Forum

Hey guys.....Hope you all know abt the world forum thingy..it sounds very exciting, but a bit scary also...Dr Ansari is teh head of the whole process...I dont think write now i have more info on this topic, just tht 2morro we hve a screenin process...i havent prepared a crap thing...God help me...
