To The Sun God

What if god would have created all weathers except summer ? I don't think people would have missed much at least in india . I guess the people crave for only one thing in this sweltering heat .What can give respite from this blistering hot and humid conditions. ? People go on vacations to hill stations or to countries where the sun god do not trouble them . But not all people are affluent enough to execute something like above . The best what they achieve is to stay indoors with their AC's and coolers working .But during summers,the supply of electricity is scant . We can do quite well with all seasons except summer . But then it's important for the crops which is of paramount importance . So I should stop being a selfish and let this cycle continue . I kindly beg the sun god to show some mercy on us or lest we would be roasted in this condition . I hope He doesn't desire this .


Few days back I suffered from excruciating tooth pain which did not allow me to sleep the whole night . Only after gargling by warm water ,I had some relief . The very next day I went to see a dentist who diagnosed it as tooth infection . He advised me to under go RCT ( root canal treatment ) . I underwent the treatment which was extremely painful but it lasted for around 30 minutes . I was asked to visit him again on monday for the same treatment which will go on for 3-4 times . Hopefully I will recover from this tooth ailment .


A week has passed since my training got over and still I'm not on a project . But I don't care about it anyway . I have begun my preparations and hope to continue it . Because once I am assigned a project I would get less time . So it's better I maximize my efforts .I don't know what I am gonna do but the dream goes on .Initially the motivation was lacking . But now it's back and so am I .Hope to continue in this manner .

Training Over

Finally the day arrived . Sixty- five days of the ordeal (read training ) ended yesterday . More importantly I don't have to move outside delhi . But there is a catch ? I have to warm the benches till I am allotted a project . People had to sit on bench almost for an year during the recession . I'll have to do the same for a period unknown to me. In simple words my professional life begins on an inauspicious note .But then people who were willing to get into a project moved to chennai . I didn't. That sums up the interest .


So the big question is what am I gonna do till I get a project ? Read novels . Nope. Start the dream yet again . I mean preparing for CAT. I don't know . I am still undecided about it .Too many doubts have crept into my mind .Doubts creating confusion . Confusion leading to the procrastination . But till when ?? I cannot run away from it .I know it . Once I start ,there is no stopping. Hopefully. The burden of my ambition will not leave me alone . I'll have to make up my mind soon .


During the last few days of our training ,I have been subjected to some serious leg-pulling . You only realize such things when it comes back to you . I too get it sometime and I really don't mind it because I have been doing such things all my hostel life . No qualms at all .


Saw raavan today . I didn't expected much . Thanx to mani ratnam . He did his best so that my expectations remained lower . I usually go to watch movies only after reading reviews and hearing good things from my friends . I made an exception and paid the price ( ticket). Actually I had gone to see raajneeti but there wasn't a show until 3.30 pm . So saw raavan and committed an error of judgment .


I am supporting the spanish armada for this world cup who are the favorites to win it along with brazil . But they got to a horrible start ,losing to switzerland . Now they have an uphill task to qualify for the next stage . Hopefully they will do so . Wimbledon starts on 21st june . Hopefully nadal will win it . The finals to be played between nadal and fedex. Can't wait .

My First Job

More than a year has passed since I wrote something ( who really cares!!!) on my blog. May be that's a reason why I stopped . May be I had nothing interesting to write (When did I have one ??). So why am I back ? Its not the sheer interest that has pulled me back . Nor I have something of national interest to discuss . So what brought me back ?. I find writing blogs a great way to reflect on my life .I try to bring out the rationale behind my deeds .


So what has changed since last year ? Nothing much. Except for the fact that I have stopped accepting money from my home. That concludes that I am earning myself . Remember I had been recruited by TCS during campus placement in March 2008. I should have got a call by june -july 2009 .But this didn't happen . Thanks to the global recession .The world was still recuperating from the massive hit . People from tier-1 colleges got their call earlier . My college reputation didn't do any good . Am I correct to blame my college for this painful delay ? No, I am absolutely wrong . I got what I deserved . No issues here . My branch also helped the delay as people from CSE and IT got their call first . Thanks to my Electronics background I got to stay a little longer with my family doing nothing.


Those were the trying times . Months passed on as I waited for the only job I had .Mom even visited an astrologer to ascertain when I would get the job . The poor person without knowing about the market scenario predicted that I would get the job within a month . That was way back in october .A month passed and my mother lost hopes . She had already heard a lot things about the software firms and the mass recruitment thing ( thanks to my maternal uncles ). She started pushing me to go on the lookout for a job in delhi . I believe she had to explain a lot many people about my stay for so long . This happens when you are from a small place . People start asking questions as if they are very much concerned about you and your family . They seize every opportunity to embarrass you . They start giving you all kind of suggestions that they won't be giving to their own children . I tried my best to avoid people . My maternal uncles too were pressurizing me to go for other jobs such as PO. So just to calm them I filled some forms . Deliberately I gave delhi as the centre just to avoid people and their questions . Life again was not easy here in delhi as the thought of being unemployed never left me . The thought of still being a liability didn't make me feel better anytime. I half heartedly prepared for the MBA exams . Then one fine day TCS probably remembered that it had recruited one "amresh kumar ". I was happy again . TCS gave me a call to join them on 21st jan 2010 and further increase their employee count by one . Soon I was a part of a big family . Mom was happy and relieved .Now she didn't have to answer anymore .
