Life's a roller-coaster !

Millions of times I have made an earnest effort to unravel the mystery behind a LIFE. Conduct a survey all around the globe and try to figure out the rudimentary ingredients that would imbue a sense of satisfaction in them. There would be vivid opinions based on individual criteria. Most of them would be unrealistic, surpassing their wildest imaginations and trying to attain the pinnacle of their fervor.

I had always dreamt of realistic visions and slogged to accomplish them. The almighty has been beneficent until now and to be on the optimistic side expect him to shower the blessings upon me in a similar fashion. Amen! Realized a little late in LIFE that the easy path chosen by me would not fulfil my expectations that I have piled up on the stack. Things would have been much more simplistic if I would not have bunked my english lessons at school or not messed around with my teachers. But I guess its never too late. I am doing respectably good with respect to millions. But if comparison is all what counts for, then probably I am catching up with a billion more heads trying to achieve a so called satisfactory position. Working for a software company where thousands and thousands (there are literally thousands of them around you wherever you tap an eye on) of so called Engineers cracking their brains and trying to figure out some nerdy mistake a junkard would have foolishly left some years back. I thank that stupious figure for his generosity else a thousands of my colleagues would have been rendered jobless. That is what we call maintenance, i.e. maintaining a freaky set of code. I guess discovering America by Colombus would have been a much easier task!

Struggling day in and day out expecting to have a tryst with their destiny. The sole survivor would be the one who keeps his vision intact and who is unfazed by the impediments accomplying the journey. Contd...

The closest octagon

This entry is dedicated (sounds mourning, isn’t it); or rather written to honor my closest and dearest chums at Infy. Don’t exactly know where to begin from. But I would like to reincarnate the memories of Hyderabad. Remember the day when we got news of our postings after an extended training at Infosys Mysore. The fairytale starts with a bus ride from Mysore to Hyderabad. A fleet of approx 80 Finaclites, all filled with joy of clearing their compre’s; stepping into their professional careers. I was completely ignorant that a tenth of them would glue together so amazingly that their lives would be entwined in a manner that the threads would always mingle with the present; wherever future takes them and whatever the past impinges upon. The stay at the Woodbridge hotel culminated in moving into our new apartment. Three new folks from different regions, best buddies from college days. I was completely new to their company and not being a hosteller my entire life, brought in varying perspe...

The Masjid Mania

The military attack by Pakistan on its indigenous Lal Masjid has taken a lot of stick from the chauvanic Islamic pundits. But the audacious act by President Musharraf, whether or not goaded from US or China should be commended upon. The president has taken a first ever courageous step to thwart the malign intentions of extremists residing within the country and using creed and religion as a major agenda to fight against humanitarian causes. But the major setback came when the Al-Qaida protagonist al-Zhawari launched an verbal attack against the president and his forces describing their effort as atrocious and un-Islamic. He openly confessed that this brutal deed can only be repented by Musharraf's blood. Although such vacuous threats would have little or no effect on the President and his forces, but the country can in now way remain ignorant from the valiant efforts and courage displayed by the extremist group. Moreover, with support from major superpowers like USA and UK it would...

My tryst with Maths!

The journey has begun. Have gathered a lot of information and study material . My earnest attempt would be to wrap up the Nova's GMAT Prep Course within 6 weeks. Have started with Mathematics. Maths has always been my forte. Getting 90% accuracy on the first attempt. But its just the beginning. Wanna stretch that figure close to 100. The destination is a lot further than it foretells . The area I will have to slog on is Data Sufficiency. Never ever handled such problems at school or university. Statistics and charts give me nightmares. Being a colorblind it would be difficult for me to judge different colours on the chart. Pondering how humiliated people would have felt when discriminated on basis of Colour. Feeling like one of them now.. The 'that' and 'who' concept still amuses me. I wonder why the schools demand the manager to have a fetish for such little concepts. Practice, practice and more practice. That is what is required. Will have to set some deadlines fo...
