Finally a proud owner of a Hobner 285.

I am finally a proud owner of a Hobner 285, my new guitar.

witht this i plan to start my voyage on the ocean of music.

hope i am able to do justic to it and it does not end up being another piece of furniture in my room

got this idea of christining my gutar from someone's blog, one ms. ranjita i suppose. She had nme it lenny. Lemme think of a good name...After all it too has the 5 senses of see(red and black finsh), touch(the fretboad n the strings), smell (the sweet smell of the wood), hear (the pleasant sounds i aspire to produce) and taste (of good music to was made to play)

The mirror

WOW (Words of Wisdom) by Rajneesh Bahtia (our dear RB)
1. Life is perception. There is no such thing as fact. Facts are accepted percptions. e.g the direction East is east because we accepted someone's perception that sun rose from east and that direction should not be called by some other name.
2. Team work, adaptability, passion for what u do... all it take to be successful.
3. Only those people are succesful who do the wrok before it becomes due

Viva – April 13, Friday

Had my ‘comprehensive’ viva today. I was 4^th in turn in my batch. The sight of Prof. A K Seth was an ill omen…rigorous grilling was a sure event now in the group in which b present n unfortunately it was mine.. :(

My panel comprised of Kaul Sir, Ananya Mam, Nair Sir, Seth Sir n one External Member.

When I came in Kaul Sir introduced e as a ‘good student’ of the department..i was feeling happy n sad simultaneously ..happy for the confidence sir showed in me, n sad for I knew that Seth Sir wud grill me n all their expectations wud b shattered.

A expected Seth Sir asked for my favourite subject..marketing came the prompt reply…he asked 2 very simple questions define brand & market. both the questions I cud not answer completely an Seth Sir added vital points to my answers. The expression he had on his face when talking to ananya mam made me feel all the more miserable.

The external asked me some question pertaining to my dissertation. Again I gave some BHAG answers.

Nxt nair sir asked me about my placement.

Nxt was a question on my contribution towards the department. I highlighted my role as an alumni coordinator & alos as the one responsible for uploading ppts, take care of LCD, laptop etc etc . Ananya mam came to my rescue n called me her ‘Man Friday’ for tech works related to her Seminars n all

--End of viva--

Overall it was a big disappointment for me on a personal front..i was the one who made all the mistakes..the confidence my teachers had in me was badly shattered by now
