Quarter to a century!

19th of July, 2008. This day shall always be remembered for good reasons in many ways. Quantitatively - I’ve spent a quarter of a century on this planet jostling with the other species and its silver jubilee time, and psychologically – the Almighty has always been graceful and life has showered a multitude of good fortunes and blossomed moments to cherish forever. It’s been wonderful to receive greetings and good wishes from family, friends and relatives from all over. Another 17 days and I shall move to the US to pursue higher education. This day brings in tremendous satisfaction to receive so much warmth even from distant friends – whom I once feared I might loose touch with, shall boost the spirits when I’m away for long. Calls from everybody who mattered most and some bonus greetings as well. Kudos to life and friendship! Alongside, I wish to spend most of my time home with my family. I’m getting this opportunity after 2005 so trying to make most of it. Ask me my plans for tonight and I’m totally dumb at this moment – gotta be something spontaneous. A carousal is somewhere around the corner – I’m getting threatening phonecalls to plan one soon. Can’t expect a noble party with hurricanes around you. Alles gut at the moment because memories are something I can carry in abundance with no custom restrictions around. God bless all who’ve actively or inadvertently played a vital part in making this day memorable.

Back from the break..... Part II
The big-day I dreamed about since so long is supposedly over, or psychologically will be over when I shall hit the sack. Tomorrow morning shall adorn new colors in my life but today will always be remembered for long. Party this year was very different. Very sound, composed and pleasing. I went around shopping with my mom-dad and bro and I was so jubilant to be close to them. For a moment, just recollect the joy you might have noticed sometime in life at a parents' face when they celebrate their kin's first birthday. And a series of them follow stream each year. It becomes an inseparable part of their life and they eagerly await this moment for another 364 days. And suddenly kids grow old and move out, the number gets multiplied with integers starting 1 and ending incessantly on occasions. Sentiments ignored, but this was really special. I regretted while having dinner to not carry my camera along - but now I believe I have no qualms, the picture is so lucid and not a glimmer can be erased from the physical permanent memory. But I still miss my octet, its been a different one wherein no cake was spilled on my face and neither did I have my hair soiled with eggs and kitchen-leftovers. Pros and cons united, I got overwhelmed with the gracious greetings and the benign blessings that it seems difficult to close my eyes and let go off this day from the calendar. Thanking god for making me a social animal and I pray that everybody who brought a twinkle in my eye and a smile on my face be blessed with greater joy and delight. God bless ya all!

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...
