Last day at work !!

Its been 22 Months here and to be honest I was looking forward to this day since 12 of those months !!

How do I feel ??

Well...... For starters I will be among the unemployed youth of India for the next two years :( So the thought is actually a little scary ....But I've heard of *great* things about FMS :) So looking fwd to that as well..

Will miss Deloitte very much...No.. not for its work, but for all the friends I am going to miss :(

And a *few* people in particular :-((

For all you work-aholics out there ......

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups -porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.

Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Some times, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

Don't let the cups drive you... Enjoy the coffee instead !!

Keep Walking..........

The week before cat I weighed a whopping 115 Kgs …That was November '05
Fast forward now to April '06. I weigh 93 Kgs. Just about 7 kgs more than what is optimum for my height

How did I achieve this ??

Had I got a rupee for every time I answered this question during the last few weeks, I could have retired with my earnings right now

I aint no fitness guru and I don't want to sound like one…I hate VLCC and their ilk..dont ask me the reason but some how I find them yuck ...

What you are going to read below is a simple, practical technique to lose flab….I did it and lost around 21 kgs in 3 straight months….I need not mention that to achieve this you require "dedication" and "fire" from within.. Atleast I did not have to bother in this aspect (More on this some other day !! )

 

 

 

So ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever…… Kansultant's technique to shed weight…..and hey thank me ..i aint charging u guys a penny…..ok, I went overboard, anywayz read on ........

 

1. Walk for 3 hours on Saturdays. Does it sound scary..Chill dudes and dudettes….Start with an hour's walk…after two weeks make it a two hour walk…and then make it a 3 hour's walk…Push yourself…You will be amazed to see the limits of ur body
2. Walk for 3 hours on Sundays…Same blah blah.
3. Every morning spend 15 minutes doing some or the other form of exercise…Make sure ur tummy size is given its due attention during this time .
4. Avoid Rice at all costs..apart from the regular oil, cold drink, sweets, icecream blah blah !!

5. Drink water like u r a descendant of a camel. This wud mean frequent visits to the loo, but hey, that's a price worth paying aint it .

That's it..Its as simple as that !!

I followed the above 5 points and lost almost 2 dozen kilos in a period of 3 months.. Thats a fact !!

So go ahead buddy…Get your motivation…and your reeboks..and hit the road……

Its really worth the effort…TRUST ME !!

 

P.S. : Motivating myself to lose remaining 7 kilos is proving to be one helluva task

Destination FMS !!

Yes, this is where I will be for the next two years of my life...

CAT is done and dusted and now is the time to live up to the promise I made to myself…So here I go..

 

Today marks the 2^nd innings of Kansultant's musings.

I have so many things to write and I wonder where to start....

Okay lemme begin with the latest happenings in my life..This is the synopsis….Details will follow suit soon

1. CAT's done and dusted...I still believe I wont see the month of May'06 in this company….
2. Celebrated my parents' silver jubilee anniversary yesterday…It was one of the best days of my life…
3. Proposed to this cute li'l gal at office  
4. Got one of my "blog friends" a job at Deloitte. She is joining Deloitte in the last week of November
5. "Successfully" and "finally" wrapped up all the work in my looooooong project and am "bench" since a couple of weeks now…
6. Lost the bet with my brother. I was convinced that Sri Lanka would thrash India 6-1
7. Lost the bet with my cab mate. I was convinced that Amelie had won the Oscars in 2001.
8. Won the bet with another cab mate. He was convinced Ganguly would come back to the team
9. Finished reading couple of Sidney sheldons. About to complete Gandhiji's Autobiography – "My Experiments with Truth"…Must confess.... It's a DRAG..Next in line is "How to win friends and Influence people". In the last few days I got an opportunity to do an honest appraisal of my life and  I think this is what I require immediately.
10. Lost 10 Kgs..

Couldnt Resist posting this :)

 

A young second generation Indian in the US was asked by his grandmother to explain the significance of "Diwali" to his younger brother, this is how he went about it...

".......So,like this dude had,like, a big cool kingdom and people liked him. But, like, his step-mom, or something, was kind of a bitch, and she forced her husband to, like, send this cool-dude, he was Ram, to some national forest or something... Since he was going, for like, something like more than 10 years or so.. he decided to get his wife and his bro along... you know...so that they could all chill out together.

But DUDE, the forest was reeeeal scary shit... really man...they had monkeys and devils and shit like that. But this dude, Ram, kicked ass with darts and bows and arrows... so it was fine. But then some bad gangsta boys, some jerk called Ravan, picks up his babe (Sita) and lures her away to his hood. And boy, was our man, and also his bro, Laxman, pissed... And you DON't piss this son-of-a-gun cuz, he just kicks ass and like...,all the gods were with him.. So anyways,you don't mess with gods. So, Ram, and his bro get an army of monkeys.. Dude, don't ask me how they trained the damn monkeys... just go along with me, ok... so, Ram, Lax and their monkeys whip this gangsta's ass in his own hood. Anyways, by this time, their time's up in the forest..and anyways...it gets kinda boring,you know... no TV or malls or shit like that.

So,they decided to hitch a ride back home... and when the people realize that our dude, his bro and the wife are back home... they thought, well, you know, at least they deserve something nice... and they didn't have any bars or clubs in those days...so they couldn't take them out for a drink,so they, like, decided to smoke and shit... and since they also had some lamps, they lit the lamps also... so it was pretty cooool...you know with all those fireworks.. Really, they even had some local band play along with the fireworks..and you know, what, dude, that was the very first, no kidding.., that was the very first music-synchronized fireworks..you know,like the 4th of July stuff, but just, more cooler and stuff, you know.

And,so dude, THAT was how, like, this festival started

 

His GrandMother fainted.
