Before i start... imagine this:
>Me(to my Boss): I have developed an elaborate, multidimensional, end-2-end, multifaceted, Business Intelligence decision Model for outsourcing
>Boss:Umm.. Sounds interesting! So whats the final output of the Model like?
>Me: it's cutting edge CRAP!!
or this :
>Me(to customer): Lets us use our End-2-End Outsourcing Business Intelligence Decision Model and checkout your outsourcing needs and recommendations.
>Customer: That would be great! Let me use it (And he feeds a few inputs to the model and Whoosh.. comes the Gospel of truth himself)
>Me: There it is!
>Customer: Its all crap!!
>Me: Exactly state of art CRAP it is!
Now if you thought those are fake, cooked up scenarios, then you are mistaken my friend! It actually is a very realistic scenario for which we are working at. We have been working on a decision model for sometime now. But were just not able to break the shackles of all the existing Me-Too models thrown at us in dozens. The common flaw they all had was that they were unilateral, one dimensional. We finally did manage to get a framework in place which 'attempts'(thats the Keyword here :D) to give a breakthrough. But in todays world of Kotler
just having a novel Model doesn't work, one needs to garnish and sugar coat it.. market it and market it well!
Thus began the search to put it comphrehensively on a single page and give it a real chic look. Our artistic flair comes in handy at this. The process goes like this..
Step one: To comeup with a nice looking modular, sectional, co-axial, aligned, cross attributed graphical representation.
Step two: Wysiwyg labeling and nomenclature so the sections get christened like, 'cross assessment', 'capability assessment', 'competitive assessment' etc.
Step three: To name the model, a model that would provide recommendation to the customers for their requirements! What should the client say when he gets to see the output? He should say, "hey, i 'C'annot 'A'gree 'M'ore!" right? So there it is we call it the 'CAM' Model :) Now its easier comeup with a managerial fullform for the same there were many but i choose, 'Cross Analysis Matrix' Model because my graphical representation looks so.
Step four: To check that we didnt left out on any thing. And this is very important step! I realised that i haven't labelled the final outcome section!! Then comes the top most realization that the model is still in an 'attempting' phase so the output might turn out to be useless... a total 'crap'. And bingo there it is again, we call this final section 'CRAP' (to acknowledge the mighty all prevailing truth) Again think think and think for a managerial fullform and we choose 'Capability vs Requirement Analysis Projection'.
Step five: To make life of other lesser mortals a bit easier in comprehending the model, however useless the model maybe. So prepare a HowTo for the model.
Thats it! So now time shall tell whether the 'CAM' part is true or the 'CRAP' part :) (btw on second thoughts isnt my model well balanced in that sense :D) For now i am working on the 'HowTo' part.
P.S. for indepth gyaan on how to make a Model contact me in person.
P.P.S. creativity rules! and it kills once you have a tag called MBA :D

Summer of 69 (+38)
That's one of my favorites of Bryan Adams... and i am going to use it here for comparison with me! (they say dream big then comparisons should also be bigger naa :D)
Bryan:I got my first real six-string; Bought it at the five-and-dime; Played 'til my fingers bled; It was summer of '69
Me:I got my first real 61 keys (Yamaha PSR keyboard); Bought it and my nose bled (whopping 16K... courtesy Tomato for 2K [well tomato 'Courtesy' that's all u get better forget the 2k!]); Played things that worth much less than dime (you thought 16K! hmm.. must have had some initial exposure with it. well its absolutely zilch... but i m learning :P); And yeah it is Summer of 69 (+38)
So that's Me, who one can say suffers from compulsive disorder at times! Ended up spending almost all of my first stipend on a Keyboard of which i have absolutely no know how. All i did that was nearest to playing instrument was to tap n bang my hands n fingers on whatever i could chance upon. That's it?? Yeah that's it!!
But its fun going with what you feel like doing (listening to the romanticist within you) than whats an act of pragmatic wisdom (the incessant compulsive reasoning analyst within) And i am happy that for once i acted that way because however worse player one maybe there is some music within. It may kill the guy next door :D but soothes oneself. They obviously do have effect on anyone as each of the seven frequencies are related to body chakras.
After effects of my act:
1) I have a X factor in my room
2) I can resonate different frequencies at will (what you called it playing an instrument, how inane! :))
3) I can obviously bless anybody with death-by-music
4) importantly- I know a few things about music and can read a sheet music notes
5) most importantly - I have a new thing to learn in life
P.S. Come to think of it point 5 is so very important!!
P.P.S. I am a good learner for proof come to my death-by-music-cell my room :D

One Tee Less!!
One needs to be very fortunate to celebrate 2 holis @ NITIE. A few may of course differ as I understand that world is full of divides :) And strangely Holi @ NITIE is a perfect example of, Divided we sleep in bliss in our cells and united we fall in mud pit :D
It starts of with a usual bonhomie of people gathering at one place, applying vivid gulals and wishing each other a colorful life while the dhol plays in the background. Once you have a good enough quorum the craziness sets in and increases exponentially as time increases!
# The 'Chun Chun ke': The wild calling and pulling of the reluctant ones... then wild rubbing of color at them making sure that they get their lesson straight that either be proactive at this or be locked inside an iron chamber!
# The 'Spot the Spot': As all are smeared in color by now... So the million dollar competition begins, Find the clean vacant spot on the body? Erase that spot as if it never existed and get satisfaction of a lifetime.
# The 'Bone maalish': Hey now what??!! Let’s get deeper beneath skin... so then it begins the hard and barbaric re-rub trying to apply color not to skin but to muscles and bones!
# The 'Mud Barse': What next!!?? And by now people are broke on colors too... so junta suddenly goes philosophical, "Lets go back to from where we have come and where we shall go in the end!" Only that the pit dimensions are not exact else would be a good dress rehearsal for the ones who get buried! And the royal janazaas and juloos of people being carried away to the pit starts. (Slight change in this part of the sequence this year was that water was scarce :( )
# The 'Tee Time': And then cometh the sequence I like the most, one which sets NITIE holi apart!! The start of this is the best thing of this part. And this part is the exact replica of how a riot starts in a tense environment... all it needs is a seed a start! If it is avoided nothing shall happen... but just one spark and everybody is tee less and topless (okay taking in consideration the sense and sensibilities... ALMOST :)) so here I go one tee less...
# The 'Holi Dip': The grand closing ceremony happens in our very own Pond. Though it’s considered dirty and unsuitable for swimming by many but I know it’s much cleaner than many beaches we flock too and then atleast at that point of time we all are dirtiest and filthiest of all :D And yep the fish within hate us... they bite you and a few even jump out of the water and come right till your face and say, "Get Lost!!" :)
That’s it!.. Atleast the crazy part of it. And yes of course if any outsider happens to visit the campus anytime after 3 p.m. he/she is bound to go insane looking at all those scattered torn Tee Shirts around :D
P.S. Oh yes one might absolutely contend on the fact that how could me be fortunate after all that happens ;)... so let me strengthen your point a little more... I lost my 3.5K specs last year in the pond (DON'T ASK HOW! Can't reveal as it is harmful to my esteemed reputation) and this time have to sacrifice my room key in the same!
