Taking a sabbatical

I’ve been writing non-stop for some time now . I need to take a break for a few days .

Caught in the cycle of birth and re-birth

Why does man get so attached?? So much so that he’s afraid of change?? Why do all good things have to end??

What is the ultimate purpose of life?? What do I seek from life?? What is MY purpose ??? What is the reason of my being??

Some pertinent questions for which I have not yet found any satisfactory answer … Plus why did I start thinking on these lines for is it not that one must do his KARM without worrying about the outcome ?? But then again any work or action without purpose is useless , there’s got to be some justification [not those served up by William].. so here I am at a crossroad in life thinking about why I have done things in a certain way , trying to put things into perspective , trying hard and yet not succeeding…

Microsoft Test

well aaj test tha .. hame topics jo bataye gaye the were Data Structures , Algos , C/C++ but we were asked  questions from Operating Systems and DBMS as well.. proper type lagi … uspar se pehle paper me itna kam time diya gaya ki kya kahu ,… C?C++ ke liye half an hour … wat were they thinking when they decided on the timings … so raha tha koi pakka

well OS and DBMS ko maine revise bhi nahi kiya tha .. hadnt dreamt of those parts as possible topics par pooch diya gadho ne .. so kya karen test kisi tarah diya … ab room par biatha hoon blog likh raha hoon ..

In B’lore

aaj subah B’lore pahucha … Chas came to pick me up .. these guys are living in a flat in Yelahanka … kal exam hai aur main ne ab tak kuch nahi padha hai …. koi asar bhi nahi lag rahe ki padhunga …. well timepass karne aaya tha , wahi kar raha hoon …. din bhar kuch khaas nahi kiya .. soya .. ek film dekhi … HITMAN … ab sone jane ka hai … kal subah test hai … hoping for the best .. well as always main ANANT ASHAWAADI HOON

NEXT Stop B’lore

Well today i’m going to B’lore.. reason is internship test of Microsoft [ officially thats the reason but the real reason is ghoomna].. hope that i have a gud journey … and a fulfilling visit…

I’ll stay with some of my friends from school .

center is SirMVIT , Yelahanka , which happens to be Chittu’s college too and is close by, from what Chas tells me , so all in all i’m set for the trip.

these MICROSOFT guys have unnecessary pangas .. ist stage is written , followed by 2 rounds of interviews .. looks like they are giving a job not an internship…well they have to do some nautanki don’t they …

Adventures of Goa

Well Goa me adventures kuch nahi the ….. proper type hamara kata tha .Socha tha ghoomne ka par for some reasons [personified] we didn’t. Aaj mere dosto ne meri bahut li …aur saath Chacha bhi tha so all the more reason that people get to know from me rather than distorted facts from Chacha & Co. so here goes…

well for those of you who are wondering as to who this “Chacha” is .. well he’s a mythical creature who comes down to Earth to wreck , what shud i say , well things .. he’s said to be a male but that is something which is “questioned” by some , not all of whom are guys .

And the story:::

Well the reason i had gone to Goa was that I had a Paper Presentation at BITS Pilani , Goa Campus in their techfest QUARK 08. A major motivation for going to Goa was that nearly all of my college has been to that place yet i am one of those few who haven’t even though Goa is just 4 hrs from here. I had planned to visit places of interest , beaches , etc.

I have not had a very good experience of working with a team on a project , which is a different story , while my dear friend had not had such an experience till the journey to Goa . What happened there was a matter which I promised him not to disclose coz it would put a few people [ NOT ME] in a tight spot , so to speak . Even though he did not keep his word I intend to keep mine and so my lips are pursed , or shud i say my fingers are tied.

So during my presentation i met a team from ICFAI Tech , Hyderabad . they were a team of 3 , all girls , and no i did not fall for any on them [ told you don't jump the gun ].During the event I chatted with all 3 of them .

In the evening about 7 pm when the 4 of us [Subbu, Amey , Abhinav and myself ] were going for our dinner to Vasco ahead of us was a group of 3 girls . One of them suddenly turned around and said “are u guys following us??” .

this particular girl was so much like one of those ICFAI team .Abhinav’s reply was that we weren’t .

Now I don’t know what came on me but suddenly a said ” even if we are wats the problem !!”

And the girl was like ” And who are you ?”

I said that we had met during the paper presentation and then on looking at her more closely I realized the she wasn’t the girl I had thought she was .

Meri toh proper type phat gayi thi.I have never been so embarrassed in my life and that too in front of strangers and that too girls. I normally maintain a safe distance from them but then HONI KO KAUN TAAL SAKTA HAI. Proper type katwana yahi hai.

The girl , thankfully, didn’t take it too seriously …. I apologized as best as I could. She was quite cool thereafter [ sorry once again if u r reading this] and hope she doesn’t carry that kind of a bad impression about me .

Haan toh bhakto is se humne aaj kya seekha ???

yahi ki apni policy sahi hai …. ladkiyo se abhi door rehne ka kyoki apan door rehne ke liye hi baney hain …

Musafir ka safar shuru

aaj yani 11th feb at close to 00:30 hrs goa se lauta…its been one heck of an experience..an eye opener of sorts for some of my fellow journeymen….. [ i m not supposed to disclose what transpired] ..experiences which were ranging from the hilarious to the exasperating… more about it later..

My First Blog-Guys I’m here

Well after much dithering I finally decided , rather should I say got someone else, to start my blog.As always I have been hesitant when it came to starting to write my blog.

Fact is I made up my mind after some of the LUG Manipal guys , namely Shashank and Ankur , pestered me about the LUG Site and stuff . I am supposed to contribute in some meaningful way to the upcoming LUG site as well as with the Wiki but for some unfathomable reason I don’t find the inclination to do it , though at the back of my mind I remember that it is something that I should be doing.

So a big HELLO to all you webies and bloggers.

This  is me Ayush signing off for now.
