Media.. .. ...

what is media? What ideas do we have, as soon we listen this word... As soon as the word 'media' dashes to our ears , many different pictures will appear in front of us. Some times of the favorite celebrates, sometimes high class parties, and sometimes of different news channels with exclusive news. Can anybody clearly define, What exactly the term mean ? I am asking you about this now, and so I think, you have never before thought of this word.

Today, or I can say from last two months, that, this word really have covered a major part of my life. I am, being known as a media student, many peoples, friends, relatives ask me about this. Even I have daily phone calls from close ones, to know about this. Many pals think that, I may soon be seen in any news channel handling a mike followed by a cameraman and standing front of camera and sharing the news.......... And thus we have many 'panchat' discussions at our 'katta', discussing on this field.... But let me clear to my friends and all other peoples that I am not going to be a reporter or similar to it!!! The fact is, even myself ,I don't know, what my post or my role will be in that field! Truly speaking, in last few days, whenever people meet me, there fisrt question is what is media management???....What post will I get in news channel??..( now, I dnt know why most of the peoples predict that, media management and news channels go hand in hand!!!) and I always try my best, to explain them what is media, and how it is nt only related to news channels! But the fact is, I myself don't know, What that education is specially related to! And that's What my first sentence of the this blog is...

Now you all will start thinking that, How could karan don't know the thing which,he is going to learn??....... But friends, let me honestly discuss the fact, that, how media education and I, are related to each other........
while preparing for entrance exams last year, I face many strange mathematical problems (which were never solved till now!!).... From the first,after my schooling,I always kept the subject 'maths' out of my syllabus! I didn't know why and how I started to fear about this subject.....Further after graduation I came to know that 'math' is related to almost every field! Which,once my bro also told me at the time of junior college submitions! While entrance preparation, I started to learn it again, which I have left five years back. And I never succeeded in learning more in it.... Though keeping practicing every day for hours, it was hardly possible for me. Many known entrance exams like CAT,SNAP,MAT......etc.were Covered with 'maths'. And it became very impossible for me to score in these exams! From June 2005 till jan2006 I was hardly able to crack this subject...As the days passed, and appearing for many entrance exams, it feared me that, I can't digest it. As soon the 'mousum'(climate!) of different entrance exams came to halt, I started worrying, weather could I get into any good B-school....? Then I started concentrating to the autonomous societies of educations and one of them, I concentrated to was ISBM,pune....
I remember the day when, me along with my other two friends, reached the college campus to buy and fill the entrance form.As that was the last day to summit the form, so we personally visited to the campus. As soon we purchased three forms for us, we started filling them without wasting the time. And the real story starts from here.................
The form contained two type of exams, which wil be conducted on the same date.(5feb) and to my surprise, I found one of them,the paper pattern didn't contain maths'!!!! This made me to bring a blithesome smile to my face and without hesitating I opted for it,(with a great proud on my face, as if, I have cleared the test!). But, at the time of submittion they,(collegewala) said that i cannot opt that particular test, as I was wishing to get in business management..He said that, this type of test is only for the candidates wishing to learn MEDIA courses. And thus, my proudy and glowing face turned tobe gloomy!! Further requesting them and making lots of queries, that guy suggested that, I can even change the mind at the time of second stage of selection process,i.e.,at the time of Group Discussion! And thus, I called immediately to Raman bhao in told to him,and he replied-'do whatever u wish but clear the test!'. And thus, the journey of being a media student started......

Luckily, ( I mean through my HARD work) I cleared the test and had the GD call!( though I had few calls in past). Thus, Raman bhao forwarded me some details about MEDIA Industry so as to make it easy, in the interview process. And I started to concentrate on it and found myself interested in that field... I started to gather more and more information about media.(fir bhi I asked in the start,'what is media'?!) and thus the process went on... I also planned to prepare for CET which was my last step of the ladder getting into good B-school. I opted NAGPUR center for GD/PI of ISBM and PUNE center for CET. And here too, my badluck followed! The date on which my GD/PI was tobe conducted in Nagpur, and CET in Pune appeared tobe same!! It meant, I had tobe in two different cities, which were about 750 kms apart from eachother, at the same day!! (and I remembered the movie titles like Sita aur geeta! Ram aur Shyam! judvaa.......kash mera koi judwaa hotaa!!!!!!!!!!). I was just like two girlfriends asking to meet at a same time,one at Chandni Chowk and other in KP!!! (at such situation I m thankful to good that Raman and me were not judwaa!!!:))

I preferred to concentrate to ISBM and went to Nagpur for the final process. I have faced many strangers there, in GD,and 25mins long interview which was totally negative (two strangers who were expert in abborence.1 enjoying coldrink and firing (not 'offering') to me and the other was literally smoking!! And at that state of abeyance, my fishy mind wondered, if he would offer one to me and lit it with his hand !!!)....They kept firing in very abhorrent manner, and I used all my Shields to defend............ And after few days I had a call which said that I have been selected among the 120candidates out of 750 who appeared for interview in different Cities throughout the Country for media management for pune campus! And that ph call really turned my way to lead future journey of life. I proudly started telling people that i will pursue my MBA in MEDIA! And thus, the real climax started, and since last two months, I am unable to clear myself that, What post is going tobe given to me, after two year of PG?? Whenever I discussed about this, with the experts or say to my careerforum faculties, everybody said only that, there is a wide scope, as well good income in this field! But, nobody cleared to me, that, what work do I need to have ,after graduation in media?? But I can conclude that, I am happy with this course, not because the average salary of the college pointed 5lacs.p.a. But I think, I am getting the appeasement and also excitement to be a media master!!!!!!!!!!(and again I am thankful to my swt bro, for burnishing me & being there at each & in every state of dilemma, I wish to GOD to keep him with me always further, whenever I am in need of some 'eXtra Bucks'!!!!:))

My Brother ......

Reading the title don't u find yourself thinking as if a small school boy writing an essay because his teacher asked him so.?. And instead of chosing GENERAL topics like MY country,MY village,MY town,MY mother ,MY father,MY culture.........And many other,he choosed MY brother!!! may be he himself has found something in his brother.................. But its not like that anyway..............(I mean I find many qualities in my bro, but this is not only an essay). Let me tell u the unseen qualities of my brother RAMAN
Those were the days of summer vacation in 2005.I was enjoying my vacations (though college days were also like vacations for me!:0), it was time when my brother Raman, seriously started to think about my future studies, and he suggested me to join him there in pune for the MBA entrance classes, soon & seriously. Before my decision to agree him, he requested me to think twice if I can do it seriously,as I was a cool guy never worried about my future as wel as to current studies. That period was really hard for me to take the decisions because, I hardly ever thought of such things I mean to leave the home-town and specially my friends. Further many days he continuously motivated me in all possible ways and at last, he succeeded..
In the month of June end I left my home-town latur and joined him in 'anandnagar'(ofcourse in pune!).He fixed all my shedule. Starting from the morning to the nightfall and further till the bedtime. He completely started concentrating towards ME and only ME.(to my badluck,he didn't have girlfriend 'at that time'so that he could atleast have concentrated towards her, other then me for a while!!!)....From daily vocabulary to tables, ( dn't think time-table', but maths tables!) I was poor in speaking, and more than it, in maths. Also I lack in concentrating studies continuously for hours....And also in..........Bus baki 'bachaa' subme me acha tha!!!! And what a mercy on me? My class shedhule was fixed at 7am! I use to say it as 7 em(Early morning!). Though 7am was not early for me because my brother woke me up at 4am:(. He himself did not go back again to his bed until he confirmed whether my eyes were wide open!! Such an early hour when other flatmates ,aswini bhaiya, nikhil bhai,happy singh,satya bhai! All were busy with there gfs, in there beds with pleasent satisfying smile on there faces, as if they had just unloaded!...opps! Sorry i forget to mention here that, they all were enjoying this in there 'DREAMS'!!!!
SO THEY AL WERE SLEEPING AND THIS "(ME) POOR GUY TRING TO CONCENTRATE IN BOOK:(.. The early darkness turns to the morning lights, until I get the good grip:( Then I has to keep myself ready, till 6.30am. Not for class, but mainly to get inside the PMT buss to, reach the class! and again to my luck,those were days when pune were facing an continues rain for more then a month...And thus, the days passed..( i think the title given to this blog is 'my brother',and am literally telling only about myself, so lets say something, I mean, many things about him.....!!!)

In those days in pune, I came to know the other side of my sweet brother Raman, who turned to be like 'abominable' for a while! I came to know, how much he cares for me.I came to know how much he himself struggling, for my bright future. He stopped all his works and daily habits and helped me to STAND straight.I came to know his dream to see me,as a part of corporate world.As being an elder to me, I respected him from first, but his struggle for my carrier, increased his credit in my eyes day by day.
Raman bhao, aswini bhaiya,nikhil bro,sardarji, everybody join their office in the morning and I have to be totally alone inside the flat, covered with unwanted arithmetical formulas,words,diagrams,technique sheets,home work sheets,passage books,articles,newspaper,sodu-ko's,that boring algebra rules,geometry diagrams and that was not enough that in the afternoon, to have company of our 'kaamwali mausi'(who start unnecessary chats with me regarding her family,her younger boy who do not study,her dauthers pending fees of colleges,and her past memories........Again to my luck,once upon a time she lived in 'latur'! and she says that she lived near to my house!!!)...... Anyways as the sun completely bends towards west, my gloomy face turns towards cheerfully smile because, my soul says to me that the day is over and my sweet brother will appear in anand nagar soon!!

As soon Raman bhao finishes his work, he hurriedly rushes towards flat and joins me and clears my queries...He cares me alot, and i learned to think positively from him.I learned many good qualities from him.He properly handled his post as a elder brother. Though he shouted angrily on me several time, which later I found that he was correct and I agreed one thing that he was always correct. I remember when he shouted like anyhow on me few times.once when he came to know that my monthly phone bill comes in four digits/month..According to him, I spent many important study time in that unnecessary cellphone............

Thus, i had lots of memorable things at the time of entrance preparation,I am thankful to ASWINI bhaiya,NIKHIL bro,HARPREET bhai,VIDYA bhao,debu bro and many other my sweet elder brothers. These guys really treated me as their younger brother, and loved me a lot. And helped me in my studies in absence of Raman(he shifted to chennai in month of august)...
I am thankful that I have such a strong and admirable brother, whom I adore the most....But being such a qualitative person, I didnt know why, he lacks in field of GFs!!!!!!!!!

Hello friends, here is the new way we laturties(laturwale!) give a warm wishes to our friends, going to pune for study purpose.(actually we people from latur only prefer 'pune' for carrer purpose, may be there's no other option or something else...I guess u understand:)) my 50% friends are (struggling!) in pune to make there career and so every month some of them visit latur and some already here goes back, we follow a trend while any friend leaving for pune we gather at a particular place specially at 'travels stand' for wishing him luck...This might be one of the reasons I get late to reach home every night because, the only timing fixed of the travels busses going for pune is 11pm(onwards!)....Anyways...So I have to go to stand several times in a month.

so let me come to the point finally is that, yesterday our most faithful , having lots of good skills and the only one who stood in merit in HCI exams (its nt so that other do nt study more!) who was in pune for an year and came back because he got BORE there!!!!!!!( the eXclamations r because there r rare cases of saying that they get bore in pune city!) and finally after 2years, he decided to go back again!!! He was a guy whose welknown for his decisions as his decisions are unpredictable due to his most wavering nature(sry to say dis dear) .The guy after thinking more than 2months, only to decide whether to go or settle in his family concerned traditional business..After thinking more n more for 2months, he finally decided to opt pune for his career and in those 2months, we had the only topic to be chewed at our 'KATTA' whether he wl go or not!(sry again dear) and finally the day came for him to leave latur and the day, unwanted day for us coz we have to miss him at our katta:( hey wait wait......Let me introduce my this friend bout whom am siting before the computer at 2am!! He is a swt innocent(!!!!) charming DUDE AJAY(I use to call him 'bevda' nt so because he drinks but his 'nashili' ankhein!)

After a long & time-consumed decision, he was leaving latur finally yesterday,(I am writing this blog after the day) and we decided to do some thing different to be remembered by him as well by al our group.... What we did was that...... First let me describe the location we gather were his travels pick up point was, time is 10.15pm the bus is waiting for al there reserved passengers (may be I count 35 in all) and near about 50 other people there and we 10-12 freinds.Finally the time came,the bus driver who was in his hot seat to take-over .All the passengers hurriedly stepping inside the buss and there relatives, raising there hands for there 'tata tata's'(bye bye). Finally the driver stepped his leg on the accelerated and the bus moved forward and finally, we all stepped in front of the bus and so the driver immediately braked his vehicle and what the FUN........Suddenly all the passengers, the peoples waiting side by and other pedestrians roused there eye brows....... And here wat a huge n continues sound of CRACKERS counting to 1000s (in other language that we cal as LUD) has been lighted by my friends in front of the bus, and we all brought our friend out of buss and started singing the most favorite song, sung specially by every mother at a time of her dauthers marriage ceremony's last stage called 'bedayee'!! Yes we started with loud voice at once until he stepped inside the bus and the buss leaving its place, and taking the distance we stood raising our hands in a posture of 'tata tata':), and all the other people looking towards us still in the same gesture and wondering what's going on and friends, there was a loud singing of our tone, raising our hands indicating towards our friend in that bus and he himself, confusingly looking out of the window wondering and listening the song.........BABUL KI DUWAYEE LETI JAA,JAA TUJKO SUKI SANSAAR MILEY...............

THANKYOU for investing your precious time in reading this blog.....Sorry for any grammatical mistake as this was my FIRST blog to be posted and very imp I am sorry to AJAY(the main character of this blog!) and specially sorry to my dear friend AASHISH(who was to traveling in the same bus and I haven't mentioned anything bout him:( ) take care.........
