Feel the Difference…..
Hi folks long enough to write something on my blog…. Remember last time I posted the blog about my queries about Media education. Today, is the last day of my first year in Media Management, I have learned and unlearned and relearned many things being in ISBM since last nine months.. Last time I bloged about the skeptical of media education, today I am a hardcore Advertising apprentice. That’s the difference!!!!

Last time I was consulting others, today I am advising others….. That’s the difference.

Last time I was confused, today I am confident …

Last time my friends doubted me, today they Adore me…. That’s……difference.

Last time I typed blog sitting with my pc, enjoying home made foods, today, in Domino’s, enjoying Angrezi food…. That’s also the difference!!!!!

Anyways, I have hell lot of stuffs to share with all of you. At the end of my first year I terminate that I am rocking guyssssssss…..

What should I write here?? Should I write the frustration, I had in the earlier, or should I write about the trend I have set since last, hmmmmm….. May be 18 years!!! Yes the trend which I followed in the past, and yet, proud to do the same… guys, I am talking about being known as BACK BENCHERSSSS!!!!!! KG se lekar PG tak!!!!!! (ops! I gotta new topic to write!!!)
Starting from day one, entering the institute alone, to the first intro to the class, interacting the kuddi’s, enjoying the parties, having sutta’s with friends (not now ha!!), partying hard till drop, (also studying hard!!!)…. Interacting new people, and having someone so special FREIND too!!!;), the fresher party, the adda party, rejected assignment, stopping in between the presentations, and scoring more with the concept of ‘cut-copy-paste’ (thanx to GOOGLE)!!!

I gotta a wide exposure studying in post graduation, the team work, the spirit, the confidence, and a new way of looking towards life. Thanks again and again to my BIG B (Raman Anna).

Let me start with sharing few unforgettable things in this past journey. I remember the day when I was giving my intro to my class in front of my academic head; I said that I am feeling alone here. Hearing this, I got a first assignment!!!!! My academic head said me to do an assignment for next 7 days. Apun ki to faat gayi!!! Then he said, interact 5 new guls of your batch every day, and report me in the evening!!! Aila, apun bola kya mast sir hai…. Sochna kya, legal permission thi coz he addressed class that if any gul do not co operate me, will face the consequences!!!!!! He ha ha haaaaaaa!!!!

I was known as a great fan of Durex!!! Wait wait, I.. I mean I love to make my assignment on this product. I did once, I score good enough, next time prepared the internet ad on the same product, and I scored even more….. Preparing the print ads, radio ads and even concepts for TVC’S…. I used only this product!!! Later I studied more about this brand and my friends, even the whole batch call me the brand ambassador for durexxx… I got a motivation!!!
(Not for using, but for branding folks), I wrote many slogan for this product, and later whenever I entered the campus, people come to me to ask what’s today!!! That was an AIDS awareness day. My fishy mind wrote,

In the memory of Bulbir Pasha,
I promise to ride with Safety,
I promise to ride with Pleasure,
I promise to ride with Durex.

Me, who even don’t know what is PPT, today I am presenting till 30 slides in one go!! I learned how to be happy with small things and how not to be embarrassed with any annoyance. Never before there was any occasion that I spend without family n friends. But being an Isbmiet, I miss my parents and friends in each and every occasion. I cannot forget the diwali celebration when every person is enjoying the lights n sweets and me?? Sitting apart from everybody missing my family with flooded eyesL!! I am always thankful to my bro n father who never asked me why my per month expenses are so high, I m thankful of my mother who allowed me to leave home, I know she will miss me every lunch time, because now she alone has to arrange the Thali’s on the table!! I am thankful to my sisters, showing the green signal even on Rakhsha Bandhan. Last month of holi celebration!!!! Ohh I don’t want to embarrass u people telling about this festival, because hum sabki kahani ek hai… the universal truth that I am proud of my supportive family, to whom I can even discuss about the last night college daru party, and my fathers suggestion, beta don’t exceed more then two peg!!!

Working for all the events of college like HR share, Media pulse, Supply chain Act, Forza, Crescendo… I interacted many media peoples and journalists for our PR (public relation) work. Negotiating the DNA and TOI wala guys for print ads from Rs.700/sqcm to Rs.250/sqcm in 8 days!!! And later ending with no advertisement even after such large bargain because of limited budget!!!! If I call these guy again, definitely they will not ask me to pay for the 2by4 space for my photograph for showing the sorrow for being passed away!!!:).

I gotta good people here. Good friends, close and caring. We leave like a small family. Being there for each other at any time. Today is the time to depart from the senior friends who guided us very much. Batch mates, to whom we will miss for next 100 days. Every body is leaving the campus to join for summer training. This is how life keeps changing, no sooner did u settle, apart from family, and then u has to depart again from your new caring friends. Is this the real life?? To be apart from each and every lovable person? Is this called the career, where u r always left alone in this battle field?? Though we say we can learn the duniyadari but you know what?? This is only bullshit!! (may you have some other opinion, so let’s not discuss more)

Let me stop here, wanna go to pune station to see off to many friends. Wait for my next blog. I do agree that I may not have had different experiences like all, but life sometimes good, sometimes rocking, but… it really sucks. thanx for wasting you time to read my blog.
