Update One - Kicked out of God's own Country

Its been like 9 months outside India and I am already feeling crazy! This blog is dedicated to those pathetic "code monkeys" (an another me) who suddenly find their lives devasted getting into the profession of the Golden Goose (remember the goose that laid Golden Eggs) For the layman, if you believe IT is the best profession, then you are wrong. It sucks. It is cozy down there, where you are just out of college and when you are impressed by money (that you can use to impress others). But later... down the lane, you find yourself murking around, lonely, and deprived... looking back at the friend... who you just disposed off... to climb that extra rung on the ladder (to hell).
Unfortunately thats the way it is in any profession. But the pyramid in the software field, I believe is the steepest.

Whateva!!! Once you are in, you are lost. There is no way out, (unless you are ironically blind) You find yourself dancing on an oily stage surrounded by concrete mazes.. You fall down, you try and get up, and down you go. And you look around and see more such jokers on the dance floor, trying to help themselves (instead of others) to get up!

In one such slippery incident, I cribbed so hard, that I got a kick on my you-know-where and that catapulted me out of the country.... into Devil's Fantasyland!
Boy oh Boy!!

And look at me, here I am, at Uncle Sam's... waiting for my return ticket!

And to all of those, who dream of dollars and pounds... I hope I would be able to provide some kinda tips.. survival tips... while you own the post of a Non Resident Indian!

Stay Tuned!
Tada

2 Years - Long time

Its been more than two years since I last posted on my blogspot! I have been in and out of blogging every now and then. But now, for the sake of reviving my consciousness, I am seriously considering to get back on the boat!
The last two years, has left me with lots of stuff to bluff about! And I hope to keep my readers happy!

Stay Tuned~

Nostalgic pangs

Today after a long long gap of amost like a decade, I got to chat with a very sweet and old friend of mine. We used to send emails once in a blue moon, but today we got to chat for some time... courtesy Gtalk. Little dear as i usually call her, is studying at Coimbatore and she is gonna be the next generation of Software Engineers. She calls me bhaiya and I like it that ways. I think she must have been in some fourth or fifth grade when i left Surat to do my engineering. We neve got a chance to talk or chat since then...

But today, we chatted for some while... chatted on the past, the present and the future and whatever.... it was really a good feeling... walking back on memory lanes and thinking of a time called childhood.

Life is good when there is a reason. Life is bad when there is none. It starts with a dot and goes in a circle. But you never know where it ends...

Anyways, i needed a reason to create a new post and thanks little dear for giving me a reason!

Stay tuned!

A Break from work?

Phew! I succesfully managed to elude from blogging for another 2 month plus period! But today, quite surprisingly, I managed to take a break from work and did some good work. I listened to some good old music early in the morning, did some orkutting, posted some pics, and now, attempting to put on a blog entry!
Life is fun. Especially since yesterday, when Mishy, Sus and myself drenched ourself forcefully and completely from head to toe, in the heavy rain shower that caught us by surprise when we were cruising back on our bike. Getting wet was something that I had started to hate after joining the IT jungle! Maturity makes you lose the innocence that you once possessed when you were young. But yesterday dragged me back into those nostaligic lanes, where life was much more than taking wierd decisions that change the way things run across the globe.
And I was happy we didnt take the car!

Blink Blink

So today is a new day! and i log on to blogger.com after a period of around 2 months! Hail Robin! Well, today I happen to be home alone, with my better half and my quarter half long away. And i am terribly bored. Watched a good movie on HBO, after years! But i fell lonely. Ahem! reminds me of my bachelor hood days! When the introvert in me would open a book or switch on my comp and remain undisturbed for hours. Wow! was that really me? Now I am like dying to talk to someone! oh ya! i think i would call up some of my old frinds and catch up with them. Its been really a long long time since i have kept in touch. so i think thats a good idea.

and the good news is that i will be on the blog more frequently. Thats because i am supposed to be travelling to Chennai and Bangalore and Hyderabad in the next one month! phew! thats a lot of travelling i guess! and that means a lot of lonely times.. a lot of bloggy days!:)

gee!
stay tuned mister nobody!
