Life Reloaded!!!

I have a sore left hand index finger, so cant write more than this. Ooouch..........

     Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I did it. I got into Webaroo. How time changes you? Just 4 months ago I was so happy to get into Lehman Brtohers. and now!!! Its good coincidence that both the companies are offering the same amount with same joining date. It seems I have to make a wise call to choose the best company for me.      I had a small discussion with Snehal about which is the best place for people like us. We came up with some interesting facts. First and foremost, we (by "we" I mean most of the people from vjcomps though it may apply to others too) never thought of something beyond Engineering and Medical while we were in tenth or twelth. Its the same with most of the toppers. Even in commerce people have the aim of Bcom, better people go for CA or MBA but nothing else. Same with arts. If you have good marks then its more or else predictable where you are going to land up at the end. Second thing was about specialising in one's favorite field. In our case, we are not stron...

     At last, MMS is over. Just 2 papers to go now. It was the horrible subject I ever had. Seriously!! Just before the paper I was just wondering whether this is the toughest paper I had ever written. And i found that it was. With no notes or classes, my only resource was a book - MMS by Kiran Thakarar and Prabhat. Oh boy, it was the worst book for me. I must congratulate myself for completing MMS paper.      Now you must be wondering why the title "It is inevitable". Well, following incident will make it clear. If you still dont understand then I cant help it. It would mean that you never had good friends in your college time to feel sad about leaving them. So here it goes:      I was studyin with Maddy, Anup, Tha, sily when the die-hard "chelsea" (hope I spelt it correctly) fan Prashant appeared. He has been boasting a lot since chelsea's victory over Man U in FA cup final. It was a week or so now after that match but he was still in the high state. He was we...

This is one song which is closest to my heart. I started listening to it 2 months ago and it was the best timing ever possible. Check it out. I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played 'til my fingers bled It was summer of '69 Me and some guys from school Had a Band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit and Jody got married I shualda known we'd never get far Oh when I look back now That summer seemes to last forever And if I had a choice Ya - I'd always wanna be there Those were the best days of my life (CHORUS) Ain't no use in complainin' When you got a job to do Spent my evenin's down at the drive in And that's when I met you Standin on ur mama's porch You told me that you'd wait forever Oh and when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life (Chorus) Back in the Summer of '69 Man we were killin' time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess no...

I started studying MMS today. It was nice to be in the college. Waited till 7.45pm. I got a call from Webaroo today. They have called me to their office on Monday. I hope I get through. I also got a reject from Microsoft IT Apex. Heart broken but its the way life goes on. I am happy that atleast 1 from our college has been selected. Sneha from IT got a call. Wish her best of luck.

Today, we had our System Security. It was good to complete the first paper in the exam. Now its MMS on 26th. It is the toughest of them all with really less time to study(especially when you are writing such blogs). One good news is that my favourite cartoon serial DragonBallZ has started on Cartoon network. It feels really great to see Goku and fearless Vegeta back. I love them all.

Today was one of the most important days of my life. Today I had my interviews for Microsoft IT apex. I appeared for 2 interviews and overall they were OK. I would have liked to perform better but its not always easy to do the analysis after you have done something. Whatever has been done can not be undone. I can’t believe that I was not able to write a simple html code for login page. Unfortunate u may say. There is no fortune here; it is just that your past reflects your present. I did not study html with the passion it requires and faltered at the end. It hurts, it really hurts. It’s hard to say this, but there is very little chance I making it to the end. Sorry guys, I failed to live up to your expectations. It was not in vain though. I still learnt a lot. The way I presented myself to the interviewers was really good. I was confident and “smiling” all the time, despite many difficult questions. And being not in MS doesn’t mean end of the world. I have lots of other options. I will...

It was nice to be in the college for last 4 days. I had gone to college to study MMS and SS. TP barach hoto but its OK. I like the environment, everybody is studying. These Mech people have really taken their studies seriously. Its mainly mech and comps out there in the library. From my class its generally Rohit, Mugdha, Snehal, Adit, Shere, Yogesh, Dhiren, TD, gauri, JC and of course me. Man, it wont be easy to crack microsoft interviews on Saturday. I hope to do my best. Lets see what happens. I want it and I want it very badly. Bye.

     Last week was a hell of time for my brain. I had to think, think and think.... It all started with the Lehman campus meet. The meet was good. But the after-effects were not. Just as the train had left Vikroli, I got a call from Lehman brothers’ office that I need to come back as my “future” team members wanted to take me for a dinner. I was totally confused as it was really difficult for me to go back. I didn’t have a ticket to return back to Kanjur Marg Station. Also from there I would have to take a rickshaw to reach that end spot. It was really confusing. I called Rohan and Swathi who were also called back (but luckily had not gone too far). I even asked Sidscope for an advice. Finally, I got down at Kurla only to realize that it was merely impossible to return. I called Rohan & told him that I wasn’t coming back.      If that wasn’t enough I was struck by the thought of doing programming in the financial sector. I am still not sure if it is really beneficial for me to joi...

Its been really tough time last week. In fact I have been coming only for dinner and to sleep for the night. why just me? Same has been the case with Sankalp and Sidscope. I hope our project viva goes well and we get good marks.
