of pink curtains and black backgrounds...

Pillu was asking me the other day whether she could change the settings to a bit more acceptable colour ( i could hear su suggesting her the colour pink in the background...with blue balloons) i know su was saying that just to p!$$ me off...and to be honest it was working to an extent....
so what is this weird thing about girls and pink huh? i mean they want to have everything that has pink in it...pillu have pink hairbands, pink slippers, pink pajamas, a pink soft toy (poor elephant had to swallow his pride and bathe himself in pink...girls girls girls!!!) i dont know what else is pink in her room...
su is more of a rouge so not much of pink there i'm afraid...oh breaking news guys!!! she has pink earrings and some element of pink in one of her tops i have reason to believe (as told by pillu!!!)
why not the more sober black? which accentuates content that it also gracefully lets go in the front?? it's more soothing to the eyes and has an unparalleled depth....i can go on and on...but this isn't my blog alone so there are some constraints from the 'pink' community that i have to share it with....
this would be a lovely debate to be in with..nonetheless...

down and barely standing...

been down with high fever for the last 2-3 days and i've just recovered..a bit.. thanks to some good care taken by my friends....really when you're away from home...they are your only support system...these are things you really learn out here. Still reeling from the weakness that's left behind and the sore thorat that started it all...
studies are a lost case now...pillu's a good girl!!! it's really surreal she's taking notes of the Law subject...i cant even finish a section in a single chapter...it's good we've grades here and not a fail/pass system...i'd hate to tell back home i'd failed... it's a little graceful to tell 'em i got a 'D' or an 'E'...
these guys keep teeling me that i can cover up the syllabus and get good marks but they hardly realize that the true grades are earned in the internals in which i've screwed big time...so no matter how hard i try to put the point across, they still go over the top and just run me down (read that as 'lalalalala' in pillu's case) ...
i belive time always is the best judge... It will be proven once again...

LaLaLaLa

well......the title should tell you ........this is Pallavi here aka pillu {poor puppy}
exam fever is on......so will make is short and sweet.... :P
its been 6 months here and cant wait to get out........ :D
cadburys is blessed and so is Transbit and similarly ICICI {or any place Su decides to land up}
Summers should be fun....looking forward to a 4 months of bliss st Delhi....
but shall miss the things i complain about all the time.....{wow no wonder Nikhil calls me a complaint box}

most of all being pampered like a KID all the time..... awwww trust me its amazing.... :P

chalo ji shri ganesh ho gaya hai!!!!
more later
pallo

Thanks gals!!!

these girls are amazing!!! they know how to make people they love feel special... and i've a lot to learn from them... i honestly didnt think i'd done something gr8 in the exams...but they celebrated it wonderfully. It's something i'll never forget...

they truely know how to celebrate life and cherish relationships. Will have to learn a lot from them...if i have to be up there with them in such things...
thanks a lot!!!

on a smaller (MUCH smaller) note, the H.R. case study presentation went really went...cannot complain at all about that, and Gaurav Sen lost it totally today. it's no big deal...the poor guy is really worked out these days...has to take it a little slow and one step at a time... he'll learn...

Here we go...

sap in our terms is Subhadra, Anand, Pallavi...

Pallavi (Pillu) came up with this one...and nagged me (Anand...andy) to create a blog for us...where we could just jot down what we thought, what we felt and what we wanted to say on things...

Subhadra (Su), pillu and me are doing our M.B.A. from IBS Hyderabad, and inspite of the hassles and everything, these are days we wish would never end. the interenship period is fast approaching and pillu will be in Delhi, eating chocolates in Cadbury (she should be selling them...but it's pillu and u cant expect anything else!!! ) Su and i will be in hyderabad, she in ICICI doing some research in marketing and finance and me in a start-up firm Transbit Technologies, dealing with i-dont-know-what...

As of now, both of them are studying sincerely (girls!!!) and i'm finding ways to escape from them (studies, i mean!!!)..
