THE hiatus…..THAT was….
It has been quite sometime i posted something meaningful in this blog. The few weeks i was away a few good things happened.
Continuing from where i left, Proto happened on the next day of ICR. I was better after the race but i wasn’t able to bend my knee and it pained like hell….I thought it to be a ligament tear but thank god it wasn’t. And during the two days at proto, i never even tried to bend my knee!
Proto was more of fun to me rather than a learning experience. Even though i caught up a few sessions from the domain in which i was interested, i missed a good part of the on stage action.
The party which we had at Cafe Coffe day after the event was unforgettable. Everyone was at their best and i was one among the guys who got mocked;) overall it was hell lot of fun! From there we drove to Dhabba Express for dinner where we decided about the wikicamp.
Went to IIT-Saarang on two days and caught up with a few quizzes. The best of all was the Main quiz which took place after the Light music nite. It was from midnight to 6:30 in the morning….straight 6 hrs sitting on the same place. The audience prize was a shot of vodka and it added fun(this time there were many guys who dint drink though!). Lots of QFI(Quizzing foundation of India) junta were there to see the quiz and so it went off very well. Came home at 7 o clock in the morning and successfully bunked college.
Once again missed to watch the Five point someone play.
Sundays are getting really cruel. I don’t know where to go…The QFI meet, TKF orgs meet, some competiton….from there i rush to attend my CAT classes. I haven’t started my preparations and with this flow i am gonna really suck ! Got to work on that. There are these competitions where the really good cash prize stays in front of your eyes, it’s like go snatch it or some lame ass will do. Recently ppl have found that i have got obsessed with money!
During the ICR me and Ganesh were discussing the beauties of the i phone and he said he is planning to get it.
ME:Oh! so do i! It’s really wonderful.
G:Ok…here is the deal, Save money on your own. Take it as a challenge and get the gadget before this year end.
M:Oh…cool, done!
[ i have made good progress and guess i would hit the 500$ savings mark in a few months just because everything i earn goes in to my savings!! But still i am not sure if am going to get the Iphone. There are a few other things lined up....Let's see.
Won some competitions in the past week and made very good money apart from coupons from wavetel, Adidas, Levis etc. My name appeared in the Hindu for winning a quiz contest. Try if you can spot it on Page 4 left top corner (Feb 7, 2007)
Thanks to Ganesh, I am taking part in the Imagine Cup. Got very enthusiastic team mates. With the dates extended i suppose we will surely make an entry in the short film contest.
My cellphone service got barred the day before since i didn’t submit the address proof as per the TRAI regulations. I had to go to the Hutch shop in T nagar and fill the forms. The branding which HUTCH does is really awesome. The hutch shop looks really nice with the staff dressed in tune with the ambiance but i can’t imagine a guy going on the road in a light pink shirt and a dark pink coloured tie!
It’s placement time at college and companies will be coming from the next month end as per schedule. People have started preparing and i m still in a dilemma. There is a mock drive tomorrow by TCS and if i attend that i would complete attending college for 5 days continuously after a long time;)
Today is sudhish’s birthday. Wish you a very happy birthday. Have a cheerful year ahead 
Guess i have blabbered a lot…
I rant, therefore I am!!!!

First i need a job… may be later i can decide abt other carrer options and sswitch accordingly.
Instead of going for an IT job, you could try for a job in the Analytics sector. visit http://www.analyticsindia.com/
have a blast till that last.. work life not as much fun.
@Gadha
It would be something which i don’t know…. i am comfy entering the IT sector…I think!
Thanks for the input…
@yuva
Yup…college life is fun, i have realised it at least now! But still a year to go for me…. Hope i enjoy it to the core.
//work life not as much fun
It may be true…..You are scaring me man!
..;-D.. idea wasn’t to scare you my friend. work life is not as much fun but fun nevertheless. [/life is in general if you decided to keep it that way]
every part life treats us with different experience.. all has its merits and demerits.
school/college days is one of those we treasure bez do things with little/no thinking or care about outcomes of our actions. that’s make it much exciting not always correct but certainly exciting(, good bed time story for grandson..maybe…;)
