Wow, what a screwed up mood I am in right now! Been pretty much idle and non excited for the past god knows how many months, now there seems to be too much on my plate at the moment. Can't say I hate it, but it's a bit unnerving.

So much stuff in my life involves taking crucial decisions right now, decisions that will have a long term effect on life and career. Pretty scary! First off, there's the trip to Pune for the group discussion and interview at Symbiosis, all that effort for a cause that I know I won't take up :)

Went for a Walk-in-interview yesterday. First impressions, people treat the "Walk-in" crowd like a burden on their time and work. They make you feel unwelcome and unwanted in their company. Now I'm not taking any names but this is a very large software cum business process outsourcing company in MIDC. I almost wanted to walk OUT of the interview even before it started because of some of the people over there. First a witchy looking female asks me if I can come in the 2nd and 3rd rounds because I didn't have a First Class in my graduation!!! Excuse Me ?!?!?!? Like I have all the time in the world to keep visiting you and watch you make ugly faces at me. I said..umm...NO I can't come again, she had a quick glance at my resume, suddenly it seems like she liked what she saw and said okay, you can get in. I started liking this person a bit more from this point on ;)

Anyways, there was no interview, they shifted us from one large room to another, promising us a presentation and a test at some point, after a long and agonising wait we finally had a presentation which was pretty informative. I think it's from that point I decided....okay...maybe I could do this. Anyways, with impending exams, don't know how good an idea taking up a job at this point is. After a disastrous 5 hour ordeal, I was out of the premises, with a splitting headache, and left totally dazed and only BAD BAD words coming to my mind. Made my way through the awful Andheri East traffic with all the truck smoke and other crap and reached home safely in one piece. A frigging miracle, that keeps happening.

3 of my 4 college applications have reached their destinations. I wish they'd acknowledge that a little sooner. It's amazing how much they can screw things up at these universities, I'm hoping nothing like that happens to me! The next few months hold some pretty exciting times in store for me.

Went to Vile Parle today to buy books for my M.Com I exams, met my long time friend Nishit there by accident. It was so freaky. It's always good to meet up with friends accidentally! Bought s file folder for my certificates etc. Need them for my GD/PI

I and my brother made a phonecall to the US last night, and we went to thic "cybercafe" that had a phone booth in the shower! hillarious. But it worked like a charm..@ 7 bucks a minute! Wahoooo!


More later...

Here I am with a Fresh new start to blogging and with high hopes of being able to maintain this regularly enough and with more people able to read about me, my life, and all that other stuff.


Finally got this Blog thing up and running after discovering how much this has advanced, without me knowing anything about it ;(( Mind you, this is not my first attempt at maintaining an online journal. I used to do it the HARD way, manually uploading the files via FTP, and looking back now, that seems like such an arduous task! I'm so glad I found this place and now I hope to make the most of it. I'm back in the game baby!!!

Let's see, it's about 12.30 now, what have I done in the day so far? Woke up and was rudely awakened by a friend who wanted to play cricket. Went downstairs and played, rolled my arm over after a zillion months, and now I can look forward to an awful stabbing like pain in arms for the next 5 days. The things people suffer to enjoy the game. I'm a cricket fanatic and there will be a lot of that in here what with the world cup coming up and all. But I'd like to think that at the age of 22 (I will be 22 on the 17th of next month) that I'm retired from the game and that I'm involved in more meaningful things in life, though I retain my passion for the game, just not playing the game :) A horrible back pain a couple of months ago reminded me of how tough being a fast bowler can be on your back, if you haven't had proper coaching and you think you're doing things the right way. I didn't, I paid the price, I was a GOOD bowler, but now it just doesn't seem worth it with such pain!

Well, my fingers aren't really co-operating much anyways, so I guess I'll end this here, come back, work on snazzying up this place somewhat and take it from there. Cheerio then!

Okay, so todays the 26th of January, Republic day here in India. Funny, it should be a special day of celebration and all, yet the launch of my blog here is way more significant to me than the Republic day! I'm trying to connect both the occasions but I can't find any common ground. Ohh well, I'll remember this day as the Re-Launch of my online journal and as the day when thousands of people died in a devastating earthquake in Gujarat.

Let's see, it's about 12.30 now, what have I done in the day so far? Woke up and was rudely awakened by a friend who wanted to play cricket.
