Fastest on Earth

Have you ever wondered about what could be the fastest thing on earth ????

Keep thinking as you read if you want. But the first thing that crossed my mind was an old joke....

Airplane : How do you fly so fast Mr.Rocket ??

Rocket : You'll know when your ass is on fire !!!!

...for which I smiled and got back to the process of thinking about what could be the fastest thing on earth. Though lot of things came to my mind, I thought I'll go for a second opinion. I asked my friend, for which he said "the blink is the fastest thing I know". That sounded rather perfect, “The blink of an eye", isn't that a very popular cliché for speed ? Now this thing has really gotten into my head and I started exploring more to find out few more possible answers.

"Fastest thing on  earth" is what I googled to get reminded of the great Galileo Galilei(1564-1642) who tried to measure the velocity of light by means of lantern signals between mountain tops. Naturally he failed. But the fact is - light travels about 186,270 miles (more than seven times the circumference of Earth) in one second.

Can you believe that ??? Most of us can't even turn our own head in a second.

Now this has really got me thinking a lot and has taken me back into my fifth standard hindi classes. That is where I actually learnt from one of my favorite teacher that the fastest thing on earth is the human thought. How amazing !!!! One moment I am sitting in the class room and even before I realize, I've landed in the beaches of Hawaii or my home at Ooty or Anjapar Restaurant where I enjoyed eating chicken wings for lunch today. I just realized that it is so fast that it also lets me travel in time and see my past and also dream about my future.

Being the Brother of the Bride

One of the most happening time during The Long Wait was the Week of Sangi Akka and Aneeth Mama's Wedding. Lots of happy moments with the admirable family for the whole week would be cherished by Surjee forever. Most part of the week was filled with a jam-packed schedule for shopping. The countless bags we carried, the longest waits in and in-front of the saree shops, the flashy lights of the jewel outlets with late night shopping and best the best of all was the excellent shopping and safety advices from Dhev Uncle(Father of the Bride).

Me and Rahul did a lot of running throughout the week. Most of the running was to take good photographs of ourselves. It was so much fun with both of us having a camera each. Literally, we clicked pictures of ourselves where ever we went. Every shop, every road, every good car, every signal and just everything at all.

In the meanwhile this is also the time I had taken a week leave from my second job after coming to Coimbatore. It was actually the best way to quit the job :D. One thing I felt bad about during the week was that I didn't know to drive a car :( and I could have helped better if I knew driving.

Now I've got this excellent video which can best describe the whole wedding celebration's excitement and fun.... Please watch it till the last !!!

Therefore, this post is my gift to the couple who just completed their first wedding Anniversary.

Back to Coimbatore !

Back in 2007.... I knew my life was getting better the day I left Banaglore. I hardly had a weekend to start off with my next job in ICICI Prudential as a Unit Manager. Though I quit in just a month, its a good company to work with. As of now my head was filled with serious plans about my MBA. In the name of preparing for the entrance tests I used to do nothing. I repeat : nothing !! Though there was another job I took up (about which I don't wish to write :D). So the decision now is that I won't do anything until I get into MBA or PGDM in PSGIM. Mean while my pregnant sister has returned from Dubai. This means there is one more person to question me and she is the most difficult to answer even if your right.

Therefore this is how Surjee's Long Wait began....

Who is MAXIMUS ???

谁是鲆？

Qui est MAXIMUS?

Wer ist MAXIMUS?

MAXIMUS Ποιος ειναι;

誰がマクシムスですか？

Those are just the few languages that I and MAXIMUS know. Chinese, French, German, Greek, Spanish and Japanese.

Its OK if you don't understand, just keep reading to know more about Maximus. Normally a pet would grow bigger in size and get better. However, my Maximus is a little different. He actually gets smaller in size and that exactly what makes him better.

Therefore Surjee's Pet = Maximus = Surjee's Computer

Surjee's Pet

His name is MAXIMUS. He has no short name Maxi or something. I hardly call him by his name, though I am with him all the time. I named him after I was the Gladiator movie. Can never forget that dialogue delivered by Russell Crow.

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

I also managed to get a clipping of 2 best scenes in the movie...

What an amazing movie... I believe this movie was the start for all those periodical movies by Hollywood.

Now let us get back to Surjee's Pet Story. He is the only pet I've ever had and will have for. He is so obedient that I don't even have to open my mouth to give him a communicate with him. He does things just from the movement of my fingers. (Can you believe that ??). He is also very friendly and likes to be nice to everybody especially to those who are nice to him. That's it for now (I gotta go have lunch or my mom would kill me). Will meet you with Maximus in the next Post.

Therefore , Surjee's Pet = Maximus = ?????

My Tripod...

The photo-freak has done it again.

I've got it and I've never felt better. I actually said "I feel like God" when I was showing off my tripod and boasting about it with my sister. In simple terms I am just happy that I bought this Tripod (Sony VCT-R100).

I've always wondered if I were passionate about anything ?? Most of the time I never got an answer for this question in me. But now I believe I got it. Yes, its Photography and thanks to the my Tripod(bought it even before getting a good SLR) for helping me realize my real passion in life. Now I went into my orkut profile to update my Passion and oops,I have already entered Biking there. Well yeah... I really love it when I am driving, especially bikes.

Totally Surjee's Passions as on Feb 2008 = Photography and Biking.

I don't know why I did this.....

I still can't believe that I attended the GD at Christ College, B'lore. However I am glad I did it. Attending the GD was a great point of realization in my life. Really, now I know what a GD is and its not a big deal at all. All thanks to Raghul, I wouldn't have done this if he hadn't insisted.

As a matter of fact I wasn't interested to study at B'lore, though I liked Christ College. I actually expected to get selected in the GD, but I did not. Its OK ! Before I left to B'lore I said to my cousin(Gai) "I'd be happy if I get selected" and she said" if not even more happy" ( shows how well she knows me). Finally now the deal is to cut the crap and stop fooling around.

Therefore,  Surjee = Sudharshan Bellie = Get Serious.

The Photographer in Surjee

All these photos that you see in the slide show below were captured by me, I repeat ME = Sudharshan Bellie !

Since the day I was allowed to use the Sony CyberShot W35, my life has changed a lot. As a good friend (Aarthi Balu) said : "You've become such a picture freak.. I should tell you!!!". I had to agree with her because of the pics that you see in the next slide show....

These photographs were all taken at mid-night (after a clean shave around 5 mins back). All were sleeping and I placed the camera on a table and started clicking automatic timer shots in Night Mode.

 

Thus the theorem is solved " Surjee = Photo Freak "

The only way to the top for our INDIA is us....

This video was sent to me over email by Sangee (Rahuk's akka). Thanks Sangee. It really showed where and what INDIA is and how it should and should not be ! When I said INDIA I mean to address myself, you and all Indians. Watch.....

Guess what ??? I got my MAT score......

Really unbelievable...!!! I ve never lost trust over my eyes like this before. I got 90.94% (i.e. 682.5/800) in MAT. The first thing that struck into my mind is that its gonna be funny making people believe this fact.

I did my MAT exam on the 2nd of December. Not even a single minute of preparation was made, before entering into the hall i was chatting with Annie (my junior), who also had come there to do MAT. I guess its the "luck of her face" that I ve got this lucky score. Thanks Annie !

So now which college do i join ? ? ?

That's not a big question mark. All i wanted to do is some how find a college in Coimbatore itself. Now with this score is very simple and my minds thinking of bigger things now, like ICWA or CFA and dad also said CA. Naaaa.. CA is not for me, But CFA kinna interests me. Lets see what happens...


Back to MBA I just wanna study in PSG IM. Went to enquire and found that there is Anna University's MBA, Toledo University's MBA(US) and AIMA's PGDM. Well the lady there first asked for my MAT score and I told her 682.5. "That's a very good score" is how she replied and said i can do MBA there and the admission process would start only by January end. Askin her about the cost to do MBA kinna of changed her expression. She said its 40k per sem and Laptop extra (any way i ll get my own MAC). Also since i m entering with my MAT score its a management quota (ie 5 Lacs last year). Hmm.. "what about To Toledo MBA?" was my next question and she said the concerned person is on vacation ans would come only on Jan 3rd. "PGDM?" and the lady said " you've got a good score u can go for MBA". But i wanted to know about it ans she referred me to a different room but me and my Brother-in-law couldn't find the room so we just left back home.

How ever Arun Kanth is there to get the information about PGDM cos he is doing the same there. So thats what has happened until now after getting the surprising MAT score.
