Another year passes by!!

I am not sure if this a good time to wish the readers of this blog(however sparse they are!!) a happy new year. Me getting inch closer in knowing what I really want to do(atleast thats what i think). 2007 was a mixed year for me. Jan'07 to march'07 was the most difficult time in my short life in this planet to say the least. The next quarter just flew with my thesis. Joined the firm on the start of the third quarter of the year and life was really pleasant till now(sometimes a bit hectic, but who cares?? it is pure fun). Hope to blog regularly from now on. Looking forward to 2008(yeah I know its a little late). The first quarter of this year was just good( read as no major screw ups).

Newbie on the block. Welcome Rias. I hope he blogs regularly.

Slumber Blog

More than a month since my last post. May be, it's another consequence of moving into the real world. Well, I see a lot of changes in myself after I moved out of iitk to a city like this. These are the things I had planned to post by mid August and nothing has materialized till date.

• The post about Life @ DAV. Started it a long time back and is yet to be finished. Had a plan of posting it at least for Susi's birthday (yesterday) and .. well, I am searching for a reason to put my procrastination in a better way. Anyway, Belated Birthday wishes dude.

• Had plans of finishing the Life @ IITK series with a post containing all my favorite pics from July '05 to June '07 . All I have to do is select a few from the tons of pics in my HDD.

• Thought of writing about a funny incident that happened during one of the finance induction sessions. A fresher who joined a month earlier to me was asked to give a presentation on investing and the chap had opted for an introductory talk about Stock Exchanges. He wrote it as "sex " in his ppt and had further classified them into physical and virtual. The guy didn't notice it and went on with Physical and Virtual stock exchanges. And the icing was that whatever he said was perfectly correlating with both the topics and it was really fun.

• Had been getting a lot of Gyan for inferring the corporate jargons properly and getting to know what it really means. Really funny to hear about such stuff. May be its going to take some time to get a sizable collection but generations to come may thank me for that :P

• Lot of trivial and funny incidents that happened during various phases of the induction program that I am not able to recollect now(problem of aging, you know).

• Been planning to revamp the entire blog for more than 6-8 months now. If you come across any weird template, do let me know. I may be interested.
  

I don't see myself posting more than a post per fortnight . Not that I am busy, just lack of motive to sit down and write. Either way, the reader must be happy, I guess.
And the slumber party continues.

Happy Independence Day!!

Life @ IITK Part - V

Friends

Got hold of this article in today's Hindu and observations follow.

1. I'm lucky enough to be in touch with all my close friends right from my kindergarten days and am still able to connect with them at the same level of proximity when we were together in our school or college days.

2. Indians form the third largest group amongst orkutters ( Brazillians-67%, Americans-13%, Indians-6.7%. Total number of orkutters: Around 23.8 million). ( third? wtf? Aren’t we good to go right up to the top? I see most of my mates orkutting 24X7 :P )

The article is worth a read and it definitely will remind you of your dear friends and the times when you "had the pleasure of doing nothing with friends".
