Excited!!

Next week couple of good things are awaiting n i am pretty much excited about it (I am not talking about the appraisal which is scheduled next week...ha ha) ........YES!! For the first time i will be traveling to north India and my MS program will find a exciting end with viva scheduled on oct 3rd.

It has been long time since i had been to kind of long tour, We plan so many things but execute nothing at the end ;-). This will be first visit to northern side of India for me, hoping to have a good time. I had been to almost all parts of south India but did not get a chance to cross over to other side of the country till now.... so here comes the time! Looking forward for making this trip a unforgettable one.... bought a new camera (Canon S5 IS) from US for this.... well, will have to unleash the photographer inside... :).

As of now, we have planned to visit places in Delhi, pilani and Agra. Heard about lots of interesting places inside the BITS Pilani campus from the some of the blogs, looking forward for this as well.

Next, An important milestone will be achieved next month.....oops, I will be completing my M.S.....wah! ' A Masters degree'... it sounds good ;-), i had a kind of mixed feelings when i applied for this program........hmm i have turned down couple of 'OFFERS' due to this commitment, only time has to say whether i have missed something coz of this. Finally, as always i believe in my 'gut feelings' and it has never been wrong till now........so hoping for the same this time as well :-)

7 days to go!! Rest when i am back..

A very ordinary cricket fan!!

A very crucial match... important stage of innings, sachin facing the bowler...in comes the ball...edged and taken !! This is the moment when we start trashing the batsman... it can be anyone... sitting at the TV room n scolding all players and decide India will lose, but still in front of TV.... if India loses one series... may be next...next.... still we would look forward for the next game.... A very ordinary cricket fan.... So am I.

Recent decision of going to Twenty 20 world cup with no senior players shows the casuality shown by the board.... is this not a serious series?? boasting about chance given to younger generation.... should this be done on a big game like this...?? There were so many league matches...say for eg. the recent series in england... y wasn't the younger team given a chance...

I wont blame the senior players though.... the recent state of indian team is partially because of the senior folks...but most of them seems to be lack of oppr. to young and performing pple.... where did badani go... can Dinesh karthik be judged by poor performance in 2 matches... why wud agarkar happily be in the team.......??

Sometimes we simply blame somebody n say cricket is lazy men game.... and yet keep watching... we are after all ordinary cricket fans...

Well....hoping for a good Twenty 20 now... as usual!!

Glorious 3 Years.....

This is my first blog, ironically i write about my experience here. Life sometimes has such contradictions... Well too much of philosophy isn't it ;-)

Recently i had completed 3 years in the IT industry.... what a glorious period it has been. This is the period wherein lots of transformation came in me, lots of new friends.... well what else one would need. It has been learning....learning and learning throughout both technically and personally, may it be the life in Wipro or here @ EMC.

The memories of first day @ first job is still looking as fresh as it was on the dawn of sep 3rd 2004 (well.. with all the drama starting with alarm not ringing n nearly missing the bus)... and here i am writing about by 3 years experience. Wipro's training period.... well the fun filled and toughest period of my life, got around 60 friends on the same day.... well if i think about the nos. until then it would be well below. I rarely speak to strangers until my college days... now its all changed. Some of my frnz who have seen me from college days have sometimes told directly to me. Well... Change is good!! From then its fun all together...

Now we're scattered... few guys in abroad and others in other companies....

Time is running as fast as it has never been. Everyday has been a new experience and the learning curve always have been shooting up. This retrospect gives me a good feeling of what life has given me and what i have, to move further...

Take life as it comes!
