Objectivity

Objectivity

I am hungry, I am tired. And this should be an excuse for my mind to take over me, while I struggle with myself to work. I don’t know much how these four months passed by, but I got to know myself a lot more. It is not pure respect, I hated myself too. But nevertheless, these were four months following which I would like to pat myself, take three days off, sleep, read Jeffrey Archer, or maybe Paulo Coelho (any suggestions?), and come back to work again.

Toronto Diaries #2

Toronto Diaries #2

I never complete these posts in one go. Perhaps, I should start writing the dates for different parts So, ignore the tense here, as “today” might have been three weeks earlier. We logically had fourth iteration of Zumbl today. For the background, I didn’t sleep yesterday so I was really tired today. As a result, [...]

Midnight Thoughts…

Skies darken, but words don’t die, sun departs, alas..! the wits don’t lie.. birds, plants, creatures snore hard, But OH..!! my thoughts still cry..   Eyes heavy with day’s labor, body sans all its energy.. My mind raising hue & cry, Ah! How I wish, I could for once.. FLY..!   Thou always come & [...]

The fake employee!

The fake employee!

At the very outset I would like to clear that the title “the fake employee” refers to me, and the post is about my experiences during my internship at Microsoft Research, Bangalore. The story starts about a year back, when I was told how good a place MSR is, by some of my seniors. I [...]

Starting the startup!

Starting the startup!

It has been a long time, since we have been waiting for the big day, the day of launch of our first iteration. About a month later on the 14th July, we will finally have our first launch. And guess what, our most direct competitor will be airtime.com. Not really a competitor though. Infact, it will bring forward people to talk to strangers, let them go off their hesitancy to talk to strangers.

Torture Chambers?Nah, life seems to compensate……

Life was always thought to be the handiwork of divinity. When Providence snapped his finger, there sprouted this magical phenomenon which still presents lonely roads and inaccessible destinations in its path. There was a time when all life was crude and raw. Even the so-called superiority of mankind was much jeopardised, when humans hunted for [...]

Ping! Ping! Anybody out there?

Ping! Ping! Anybody out there?

I remember reading a poem in my childhood where a student innocently prays to God “Don’t fail me God, else I will have new batchmates but old benches”, there is no such issue in IIT as the benches have no correlation with the class you are in. But nevertheless it makes me smile.

Roller Coaster of Dreams – Looking for myself (Part II)

Continued from my old blog post Roller Coaster of Dreams – When your Dreams Come True (Part 1). So JEE results are out. Becchare fucche (the word used for freshers over here). And this reminded me of my first semester. I remember first time I visited IIT, it was a very hot day which made [...]

Learning Life

Life is not always as we expect it to be!!! One can never predict the next twist in it. Sort of a big game with unexpected turns every now and then. Well this is what everyone thinks and hence starts believing. But try analyzing life with a different prospect. Try imagining yourself as a BIG [...]

Reasons to believe

New Year is fast approaching. While watching TV, I happened to see an advertisement by Coco Cola and I must say an awesome advertisement. The advertisement offers people with an alternate view of the optimism, much like fairy tales. (Very comparison with the fairy tale boasts about the pessimism which is there in our minds [...]

What do we pay for?

What do we pay for?

The blog has been relatively dormant of late and the milestone of 400000 hits has gone past unnoticed. I have tried writing several posts, one of them a poem, like the ones I used to write in the good old days. But none of them reached a conclusion. It seems this is a phase in [...]

Is that it?

Is that it?

Case 1 : Such dream job exists. Great. I need to work hard (my best) to find such job.
1.1: I will find it. Awesome, I have done a great job.
1.2 : I won’t find it. No worries, I didn’t succeed. But I am still there with myself. I can create better opportunities for myself (or just change the notion of what I likes, grapes are indeed sour at times).
