Sport or Business? Dedicated to my friend, my roomate!

"Dude, my FIFA game is getting f!@#$% up! I started my career as a Head manager at Manchester United FC and FC Barcelona bid for Robin Van Persie, and they were paying only 41 million euros for it so I asked for 78 million.. And they ACCEPTED, and the player sold. Holy Shit, What do I do? F!@#$%^ Vidic wants to leave now, Madrid, Barca and Juventus is bidding for them, I mean, what's up with these Spaniards???" said my friend, who was tensed, very tensed. He lost his star player and was actually quite depressed about it. "I'll f!@# them, like real bad, I'll buy Neymar, I'l buy Pedro, I'll buy Sanchez, I'll f!@#$%^ buy Messi, I'll buy Thomas Muller." The guy was absolute nuts and frantically started buying players and was getting increasingly happy as Muller, Sanchez and Pedro joined the fine squad of Manchester United.

I realized one thing. What about the real guys out there, who can get the pink slip from the board of directors if they mess up, and lose their job. The immense pressure felt by the greatest of managers in the world, including Sir Alex, Jose Mourinho, Pep Gardiola and one of my favourites, Roberto Di Matteo, the legend who got Chelsea to win the Champions Cup but was controversially sacked from the team. Please the fans, keep a suitable ticket pricing, buy and sell players, make sure there aren't any personal problems arising between the players and the staff. It is a tough job.

A sport, which means a group of people getting together and playing with a ball. It is a reason of worry for one man, the manager. The sport is capable of making him turn to Narcotics full time and can drive him mad and give him a heart attack in the end. Cricket is no better either. Players sell themselves, there is match fixing and endorsements, there are ticket sales, leagues making profit out of the players. And so the old question remains, doesn't it? Jaago re! ;)

Festivals of Lights... And darkness!!

Diwali is here, people here in India are ready to celebrate the famous festival of lights, lighting deepaks (dias) and setting up rangolis in front of their house, preparing awesome food and buying firecrackers, cleaning the house and the ones who are not doing anything are sitting in front of a computer and are blogging and trying to do something with their writing and trying to spread their message... Oh sorry, I am getting carried away a bit. So anyway, Diwali yes, India's special festival of lights, where there is lighting and then so much smoke that the smoke glows orange and their is generally light everywhere!!! Well, of course, when there is day in India, there is night in the United States of America. To those readers in US, I wish them a very happy Halloween! I don't really know that well what Halloween is all about, but all I know is that you people dress up all scary and stuff and it's like a Zombie Apocalypse and then there are kid ghosts roaming around, asking for candy and there are cut up Pumpkins everywhere. Well, I am pretty sure that you can point out many faults from our festival as well, you are free to do that, of course!! Well, Here's a toast to both the festivals, and both the people celebrating festivals which seem to be quite opposite of each other... :D

PS: Can't wait to go there and celebrate Halloween someday!! Go Zombies! ;)

A Tale of Two Cities!

Well, I desperately wanted to write something in the past few days, and then, since I came back home from college, I decided to write this... A Tale of Two Cities... So I would like to share my life in two great cities of India.. One's called Mumbai, and the other is called Chennai. I happen to call them both my home. Mumbai is probably the greatest city in India, like, EVER... I frequently have a argument regarding this with many of my friends staying elsewhere in India. Well, some people (them) never learn. Chennai, well... It's developed, and quite cleaner. Well, this is totally personal, so here are a few pros and cons I feel about the two places:

Mumbai:
Pros: Modern, Frequent Local Trains, Cheap and readily available transport, super friendly crowd (well, that depends on the situation), hot girls everywhere (well, in south mumbai especially), multi cuisine food even at the road stalls, power at all times, tasty water (:P), Marine Drive.
Cons: Dirty, super fast, busy place, pothole covered roads.

Chennai:
Pros: Neater, Longest beach (Marina is just an attraction, I don't really like it that much, Besant Nagar is better), My College is there, Stormy Rains (something not in Mumbai but highly enjoyable), very smooth roads.
Cons: LANGUAGE PROBLEM, HEAT, Very less frequent Local trains, Extremely expensive autos, Extremely Expensive EVERYTHING ELSE, Gang mentality highly prevalent, My home is not there! :P

My first promotion!

"The next person I want to promote is, of the team Documentation. This guy is brilliant, he works very hard, just last night I had wanted something written, and I just told him, and he got it done in just 2 hours, I want you all to give a big applause to Ayush, manager of the documentation team!", said the co-convener of E-CELL. Well... Getting promoted is fun isn't it? Probably the first time you get promoted is one of the best feelings ever. Sure, many managers of our college's E-CELL were appointed jobs that day, but to be among those top 8 was a lovely feeling! When I had first come to the college, I had no idea writing could get me much ahead. But thanks to all those notices I wrote in my classes and showing them to my class representative, Ram, I got the wonderful opportunity to document meeting in the E-CELL of my college. And then, during the selection of managers, I was made one. Getting promoted is fun, it gives you a boost of cell confidence, it motivates you to work even harder and earns you respect in the community and makes your parents proud! It's just lovely when your facebook profile says, "Manager of Documentation at E CELL, SRM University", doesn't it, even when you have not completed your B.Tech? Well... The posts you are reading, they're all written from this Manager of Documentation. Let's hope, I go a long way (hehe) and I shall always continue writing, for now, it's a passion, not just a hobby anymore!

Blogging? Hmmmm

Well, this is fun. Here I am... Inspired by my brother, various cousins and many other friends, whose blogs I've been reading for a long time now and I thought, that maybe I'd start writing my own. I have written stuff in my class, but most of it is pen or paper. I have not really adjusted that well to the concept of typing long long long stuff into the laptop just yet, but seeing this big bad corporate world, I guess I gotta learn this pretty quick.
Let me start off by telling a bit about myself. I am Ayush Sinha, People know me as YuSh (Girls tend to make that as YuShi)... So, *clears throat (or whatever you clear while typing)*, coming back to the topic, I am studying engineering, Instrumentation in SRM University and am the official Documentation guy in my college's Entrepreneurship Cell.
My interest in written language probably began when I was in 9th, again inspired by my friends, and since then, I have taken a keen interest in documentation. All I need to work on is to think imaginatively and come up with my own ideas rather than just, you know, document already happened incidents. I have written a lot when it comes to pen and paper, be it formal, or informal, I like making documents for various purposes. Other interests include writing essays and letters, both formal and informal.
Anyway, this being the future, I am looking forward to blog more and more, read many other blogs and nurture my imagination. Hope I can make it big. I may not know a lot of fancy words, but I can definitely convey the meaning, with the correct grammar.
