Guess who.

Munny
It was when I was in 5th or 6th std. and my sister, two years younger to me, happened to take monthly unit test in the same room. She was sitting two or three benches back to me
Our unit tests were for one hour and generally for 30 marks. That day it was English test and invigilator was my science madam. All I remember about her is her thick spects and she never gave full marks.
Exam started and every thing went well for the first 30 mins. and I completed around 20 marks paper by then. But then I was trying to peep into my friend’s paper before me for an objective question which I was not sure about the answer. oohh I was caught. She took my answer sheet and gave me a regular lecture which every teacher gives to a caught hold student. I didn’t apologize or request her. I understood that she will not let me write anymore and sat quiet.
Moreover I was scared if my sister complains to my mom. I was thinking whether to request my sister not to tell about that incident to my mom or confess to mom before my sister complains about me. Before I made my decision I heard madam saying `what happened? ` in a serious and surprised mode to someone back of me. I turned back and was more surprised to see my sister crying. Oh, she was crying for me being caught and scolded by madam.
My friend, next roll number, sitting back of me said `madam, she is anvesh`s sister`. She was more surprised knowing the reason why my sister is crying. In an attempt to soothe my sister she returned my paper. I am lucky. I silently completed my paper in the remaining 15 mins and left the hall.
It’s lucky to have a little sister

Prologue
Aahh, my blog is already two posts old and here comes a prologue to it. Looks like a Quentin tarantino screenplay. (parts of the story is jumbled)
After following blogs of naren(item)`s, mammey(aniket)`s, rgv`s and few others I felt like starting my blog. I wanted to write something but least had the idea of what to write. All the suggestions I got are `read more, write more`, `write what ever you want to write`.But what do I want to write?? Thought of it for 3-4 days. Many ideas popped in my idle brain which is kept unused for long time. Movies, my recent trips to mahabs, chittor, my reaction when I first saw Milinda in her new hairstyle, short stories and campus issues wow! Got many. But now I felt I am not that good at writing. `Never mind, you improve with writing` one more suggestion. After three posts I feel I am not as bad as I thought I would be.
`Bloggers start but don’t continue` here came one critic. For now I am tired of being silent( unlike usual me). I wanna make some noise. Not just some noise, also make reader think a little( applies only to those who think that they think). I will be posting my opinions, views, short stories, short scripts and every fart I can make. Feel free to crib, criticize, suggest, rape everything you can do.1..2..3.. BINGO

Self Study Course
Talking about someone who inspires me...... actually its so many(and actually that was my problem.) some times (movies) maniratnam, some times rgv, scorsese, ridley scott, satyajit ray, farhan akthar, Quentin tarantino..... some times (politics) vajpayee, jayaprakash narayan, (investor) warren buffet, Steve Jobs (apple ceo)....
Generally people have role models as someone with whom they associate themselves in terms of ideology, some one in their field of work, some one whos work motivate them..
now put this aside for some time, im intrested in biographies of people.. apart 4m above mentioned names, many 4m history like Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, Chanakya and even ppl around me. Rather than saying biographies, i better say intrested in their works, their environment, their motives, thought process.. not a deeper study, but an overview...
[i heard from someone that for the character played by abhishek bachan in yuva, maniratnam has given him a thick notes on the life of that (imaginary) character from its childhood, though the character in the movie starts at the age of 25+. such things fascinate me ;) ]
The point i wanted to mention is all the above are not formally educated in their fields[there are good film schools, as good as engineering n B-schools].... they are self taught. i like it that way , a self designed course with no exams but some one to clear the doubts :).
I believe many things are not taught, they are just learnt

Professional??
It was Professional Ethics class n the question was `who is a professional?`, people came up with their own answers. one of the things that scares me is public speaking. so, i just kept my mouth shut... not only out of fear but also lack of intrest in answering in the class..
i wanted to mention a defination for professional from LS Ganesh [ DoMS HOD] : some one who puts his personal feelings, emotions, opinions aside and does what ought to be done... [he defined it as an opposite to amateur ]
coming to a formal defination of professional : A professional is a worker required to possess a large body of knowledge derived from extensive academic study , with the training almost always formalized.
