Hope ur life's is gng gud... so is mine...
well almost... staying alone at hostel with just a couple of ppl is not xactly my definition of fun, still keeping myself busy with loads of things....
Lemme give u a brief flashback.... just got over with my mid-sem xams here at IIIT for the 1st Sem... man.... was that a ride... 2 xams /day of 2 hrs each... and loads of syllabus... neways got thru them... (pretty well actually... scored the 2nd highest in the Principles of Mgt Subj.
 ) Now, for wats up next.. 2 things:
Well, when I think about it, how about you.... yes you...the avid reader of my blog.... contributing for the same... if you are a person from the advertising side of a firm, you could very well be a part of the Sponsors for the Effervescence '06... or else you could even contribute an article for the magazine if you have a flair for writing... You are most welcome to do so...

I will get back to you myself with more details then... Even if you are not working right now but studying, then also you can contribute... most definitely for the B-Cognizance e-zine.... So go ahead... wat r u waiting for?? Lemme know if you would be interested and then I will follow it up with you.... Till then, bye n take care Luv to world... Tarun ======= September 11 Went for a trip from IIIT Allahabad...Hey world... me... the lazy updater is back...
Well... I have been on a roll since the time I joined IIIT - A... initially had to go thru the Orietation program... followed by the regular classes... then we had r annual foundation day.... convocation day... and loads of fun...
The infrastructure here is gr8... but there is one thing that is surely missing here.... Holidays....
 Just don't get ne leaves here...Bought a new and my first Laptop!! Wanted one since soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long.... now I too have a laptop... gr8... Model: HP Pavillion DV2025TU; Performace: 4/5; Looks: 4/5; Features : 4.5 / 5; Battery Backup: 3 / 5; .... If u want... I would really advise u to go in for this... gives the best in class performace for the price... It even has a 1.3 MP Web cam built nto it... check out the specs here: PV Pavillion dv2025TU
Neways... soon after we were over with all this.... I had got a chance to visit my favourite place....Hyderabad... and also the place I like the least... bangalore... the only silver lining in my visit to bangalore was the time ven I got a chance to meet Sorabh.. my school time friend... http://thinkthinkthinking.blogspot.com/ had been sooooooooo long....
Well as for the trip.... it was more like creating an awareness about the MBA program in the Southern India where currently only a handful of ppl knew that there is a MBA program at IIIT-A. Did help us a lot.... but I'm waiting for the Placement season to begin to c how well the strategy actually worked...
Till then its difficult to ascertain the effectiveness of the strategy...
Hope v can do away with the excercise in about another 2-3 yrs....
Chalo.... lets c how it works out...
Till nxt time.... byeeeeeeeeeee
c ya again.... July 01 IIIT Allahabad.... here I come....Its one thing to be irregular with updating one's blog and absolutely another thing to be totally inactive...
Well I was neither of them, I was lazy :)
Ok... now its been almost 2 months since my last post on this blog, not that I didn't want to update the blog it was just that had loads of things gng on at the same time and when they were not... I thot y not relax... so that shud xplain most of the days of inactivity on this blog...
Well, now for some updates... in May, I worked hard on the bugs assigned to me and was almost able to achieve a day's turnaround time on those... thereafter I was able to spend almost 2 weeks doing nothing much but having fun...
Thereafter... I was suppposed to appear for another MBA ntrance xam at IIIT Allahabad in june(http://www.iiita.ac.in) ... well I got my result soon after that... Guess what.... I got selected!! Yups... m gng to IIIT Allahabad for MBA(IT).
Ya... so that brings us back to the topic of my office.... well I resigned from office soon after the declaration of the result and then just yesterday was my last day at office here in hyderabad. Now I will b moving back to delhi and then from there to Allahabad....
Resigning from office was an xperience in itself... got those butterflies in my stomach.... dunno whther this gamble is gonna pay off well in the future or not... leaving the comfort of getting a fixed paycheck and moving into student mode again... many have advised me against this step... but then there have been many who have e1 supported this step...
Lets just hope that all this works out fine for me...
IIIT Allahabad.... here I come....
May 11 Me is Promoted....hmmmmmmm....
long time... guess I have been very unfaithful towards my blog.... well.... nehow...
There have been a lot of developments over the past few weeks that I can talk abt at length...
For one I got my Somaiya result... not cleared... never mind... will try again... not sure this yr or the nxt...
Second, I got promoted at my wrkplace... yep... Now m Sr. S/w Engr at my office... :) Can't stop feling elated abt it...
Third... got a heavy duty proj to execute last week... still continued working on it this week... wil try and shoot for this weekend to finish it off... the best part was that I get to have a junior dev with me... now I can try out all the things that I thot a boss shud do... lets c how the things work out... shud help me in understanding how to lead a team better... not that I'm trying to exploit my posn... just trying out things that I believe shud help aperson lead a successful personal and proff life... hope I can prove my theory correct...
fourth, planning to visit Delhi sometime in June... miss my home so much and so many of friends r all there... will get a chance to finally meet 'em...
so whats new at ur end?? Do leave a comment and lemme know... if u have ablog... leave ur addres... will visit it whenever I cm online next...
till the nxt time we meet.....
Byeeeeeeee n take care...
April 09 The Blunder(read: Mandal) - ReloadedLike the Matrix program that just wudn't go away... and the different ppl who lost their lives fighting it .... Mandal Commission has returned to haunt India...
Govt. has agreed to have a 49.5% reservation for OBC's!! Take this... there are many SC's and ST's in India who are earning in a year... more than a good Software Dev can earn in two...which is by far one of the more lucrative professions in India now a days... Y look far I had ppl in my college who had claimed to b from SC/ST background and paid hefty donations to get into it as NRI ppl... and then they want reservations... believe it or not... its gonna backfire on the govt...
Accepted the OBC's form a large pool of the voters but to satisfy one segment of the society the govt cannot put the other on the back burner... that too on a high flame....quite literally though... there have been several instances of students setting themselves afire the last time the mandal commission was set up... there was a huge outrage about it... that young man lost his life...
there must be a better way to deal with the current situation... how about increasing the number of colleges rather than increasing the quotas... or else how about increasing the amount spent on the education of the ppl in the primary and secondary school rather than seeing that being siphoned off by the corrupt govt officials... how about improving the govt schools infrastructure to bring them at par with the other private educational institutes...
I believe the premier institutes like IIT's could help in the current scenario by probably doing away with the recent policy change that they brought about that wud bar a person from appearing more than a couple of times in the entrance xam... probably by aloowing more attempts they could give a better and afairer chance to the the ppl from the other OFC's... (Other Forward Classes)...
I don't think that the time is far when the govt wud actually have to decalre a section of the society as an OFC and then have reservations for that too...
Even the EC has taken exception to it now... but lets see whether they actually manage to bring this nonsense to an end or not?? Till that time.... guys n gals... who are trying for the IIT's and IIM's... Best of luck.... April 08 Lull before the storm.....For the past couple of months... I had been busy.... rather very busy... I had mentioned my schedule in the previous entry...
Then I got over with my pending interviews for the b-schools...
Finally, there was rest for me...
I rested... then worked at my office... then rested and then again worked.... then came the storm.... in so many different shapes and sizes... To start with... result of TAPMI, Manipal...
Well... I didn't clear it.. what the helll!! I slogged for the past 6 months.... and then I'm told... not gud enuf... never mind.... I will b back... again next time... that's what I thot.... till I saw the shape of things to come in the future.... Mandal Comission - Reloaded.
Ya the same thing that has been bugging so many others across India... Y the helll the political parties burn the dreams of the general public at the very moment they go in for elections... Till a couple of days ago, I used to think so highly of r PM Manmohan Singh.... but now... I think he will start losing his credibility in the face of the nation, if the Mandal comissions recommendations pass through... so much for the hope of trying again and making it thru the next time.....
Next.... just when I thot it was all drawing to a close... a week full of turmoil.... I get another news.... Judas didn't really betray Jesus... now that's something debatable ... but the Scientists seem to have already made up their minds about it and I don't know... but ya... they have convinving evidence for the same. I'm pretty much sure this is gonna cause some trouble somewhere... just a matter of time...
Well so much for the weekly news roundup.... now lets have ablow by blow account in detail.... March 26 What kept me busy all this while...Hiiiiiiii everyone....
Long time no c...
Well I had been preparing for some entrance xams for some b-schools here in India...
Now that they r over, probably I can take some rest and relax....
Here's my normal day during those preparations:
4:30am - Get up and start getting ready
5:30am - Drudgingly get out of home and head for the early morning classes
6:15am - Class begins... discuss the latest topics regarding the world and India (These were basically practise GD sessions)
8:30am - Class over. By this time on an average we had a chance to discuss atleast 3 different topics or mayb 2 topics and 1 case study.
8:45am - I'm at office.
[Work - Work - Work- Work.....]
7:30pm - Out of Office. Atlast!!
8:30pm - Reach home. Chat with my folks there... wish everybody, gud morning, gudafternoon and a gudevening.
9:30pm - Sit down for dinner.
10pm - Read up some newspapaer or magazine...
11:30pm - ZZZZzzzzzzzzz
And that goes on day after day after day... for 2 months.... :(
M almost crazy.... at the end of it.... and then happens the nightmare....
R teachers at the GD sessions mention a term "GD Fatigue". Its when you have been practiciing so much that u get bored and tired of it and then lose interest in it.... I kind of feel that I went thru this.... but luckily got out of it soon...
then went for a couple of GD/PI sessions.... now m awaiting the results....
Lets c what happens.... hoping for the best.... |
