What 2005 was...

New year time is always celebration time...especially I have heard in Bangalore its to the peak - except that this time da papers were filled with news articles that the clubs, dance parties etc must be closed down even before the clock strikes 2006...uh huh...dint quite make sense to me...u can do it for ne other day except the 31st of December...probable reasons i can state today is the attack which happened in the Indian Institute of Science on the nite b4 yesterday...indeed tragic...n the thought of AK 56's, terrorists, Islamic JeHadis etc etc gives the shudders...

I should be saying as i mentioned to my friend today that every year seems to closing on a bad note, especially for India - this year it was this incident, last year it was the tsunami...fate and nature seem to be up to their old tricks again...helpless people can just hope for a better new year...a better beginning...

As for me, 2005 was a year once again of mixed feelings, emotions, and of course, indeed a decisive year in my life - fate working out in my favour at least in a certain way, by placing me in a comfy position in a major consulting company...grateful for dat...grateful for many more things...may of which I cant exactly discuss on the blog...or else u will be takin a nap on ur keyboard, but yea - things which have changed the course of my life to a significant extent...one major milestone in this year for me has been the amount of people I hav networked with...yea with my usual styles it has, as usual been goin good...da amount of people I have come in contact with, in both the halves of the year has been amazing - rite from simple and cheerful people, social guys who are satisfied with their life and where they are, to amazing geeks, tech freak outs and not to forget some master blasters at the Common 'Attitude' Test (got a gud friend in this category who i know will be huffing puffing with anger while readin this)...

bas ab zyaada kuch bolna nahin hai..the year beginning mite not be all that great with da results of all da entrance exams and of course - mor exams to go..I can only hope that someday in 2006 will be a day when people stand aside and make way for the guy writing this blog...

WISH U A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR...!!!

This post is entitled to all those who know its meaning...I can guess most of the guys from the software companies do...I wont take ne names - hush hush...but some renowned people from 'Indian' companies quite often blabber bout it on forums and in blogs which i have read - stating that thats all they seem to be doin the full day...unbelievable - Believe it...(picked up from Ripleys Believe It Or Not - great show - a must see on AXN)...

Kinda this is wat I was doin this week - was entrusted the task of preparing the docs for the tables, views etc etc etc for a certain project which i guess has to be delivered to the client somewhere in this year...yea u mite catch a hint in dat - only 36 hours to go for the year to rocket off into thin air...all i cud describe in plain words what i did to carry out the 'hectic, tedious' task is best explained by the title to the post...of course - it wasnt bad at all - it IS what most software engineers carry out when there is little time at hand and the work should be done faster...there is nuthin like this magical phrase for speedin up any task - (guaranteed motto for any s/w organisation)...

Well the work surely ends today...but what a week it has been - a week of mindless work - it dint really require any application of the mind - it was simply the copy-paste technique - wont say it was effortless though...the last 3 days i have been whizzing off in my head at around 8 to 9...tired out from the day's workload...reasons of course why i could not edit the blog at all...so pushing in 2 quick posts before i leave for the day...if u wanna see how i looked yesterday nite - look if u must - but beware - u mite not like me at all...

Here is ME...

Things I had missed for long...

Two things which had been missed for long finally culminated in the weekend, the visit to Iskcon in Vijaynagar...and the arrival of my new cell - an E398 Motorola black beauty...have no words to describe either - the former coz it was simply amazingly done...and the latter coz well, had analyzed and wished for this piece from quite some time now...finally it was in my hands...

Iskcon - International Society for Krishna Consciousness...this was one place I had had a kind of not so nice experience with at Mumbai, the reason I can explain well now I think...the temple at Mumbai simply seemed to be cluttered a lot...it was definitely smaller, and all things seemed to be at one place...heard yesterday that the Delhi and Bangalore ones are bigger and better...and yeah it was certainly true...the temple was well planned out, with a huge winding kinda stairway, which led to the insides from the entrance to complete the normal formalities like keeping the shoes or the bags and then led all the way up the hill to the actual temples (of course the place was flooded with people, and we took some time in the queues)...3 temples which we saw - the Prahlad Narsimha one, the Govinda one and of course the main Krishna temple right on top...the interiors of the third place were amazing - of course I couldnt capture them on my new phones...it seemed logical too...coz the beauty of the place could be felt and appreciated only after having visited it...

Of course the things which I had hated in Mumbai seemed to persist in Bangalore too...commercialization of the entire thing...people making good business by opening food stalls ,so much so that there was even a restaurant down...but of couse the place wasnt as noisy as it was in Mumbai, where the singing etc seemed to disturb the holy atmosphere instead of making it more divine...(strictly a personal opinion)...somehow being such a staunch Krishna bhakt, I dint seem to like the place as much at Mumbai as I did yesterday here...this experience was altogetha somethin different...the place was indeed far from the place where we stayed here...but evrythin was worth it...n plus, the second objective of visiting my school friends was justified too...

The phone, as i had expected was a beauty...hearty thanks to the person who bought it from the company, and of course to my friend who got it from her this Saturday...I think this would be the best place to thank them...I still have to experiment a lot with the phone and get used to all its features etc - howeva the blog would of course now be looking better which pictures from my day-to-day life...the camera isnt exactly what evryone calls a good one...but the photos are good enugh...

Dont have much time now, so just jotted the above quickly...some amount of work, and more experimentation with da new phone...tada for now..!

Nostalgia...

The reason I am writing this post late is simple - I FGOT...else i wud have got to tell a lot more bout how i enjoyed in Goa in da last week - enjoyed in da sense, in my words, spent time with parents...something which I had been waiting for since long..so much so that when i came back on thursday evening, the nite was too lonely in the pg...my roommate too had left for his native place on his leave - so no one to talk to...so ultimately landed up spending the next 2 days reading and in fact, finishing books...

One of the most memorable things which happened last week was my first flite journey...it was possible coz i cud get the flite ticket for less, but dat was not due to the continuous monitoring of the websites i had done in the last 2 months to catch a sudden decrease in the prices...the agent who booked the ticket himself neva came to know the fact that I would be getting it for less - so you can say it was my good luck...not so endearing though, as the Air Deccan plane was indeed small, appearing small even to the Spice Jet plane which i happened to see before my own flite...certain things i wanted to do during the flite - look around, of course have a nice look at the air hostesses(alas...they werent all good to look at - there were only 2, and it seemed they were packaged beautifully in order to sell you off evrythin they came to you with - lets add a disclaimer note here - Air Deccan charges for eatables online, dat also with prices befitting that of a king's palace! I think this is one thing which was outrageous...though I wasnt hungry so dint need them...

The 2 most important moments during the flight were of course the take off and the landing...the take off which took all the cake, feeling the pull of gravity when the plane attained a huge speed and then took left the earth all of a sudden...dat was wonderful to describe...surely some of the people around me had experienced it before(could make out from their sleepy faces in the latter half of the flite)...but during this moment, everyone tried to grasp the feeling of flying...I think this is one moment all people should get to enjoy...one of the best moments in life i should say...

The flight i should say was one of the most comfy journeys i had had ever...some of the best things to describe were we hovering above the clouds...and the silver lining of the clouds(as we normaly phrase it) enjoyable to all. Coming to landing - uh,oh...realized one thing...I had noticed when we took off...nice valleys and picturesque scenes of my own native land - Goa...what i realized when landing was that the scene was one of the most ugly ones i had seen in recent times...one nice swerve by the plane, and the city emerged like the gameboard of a game we used to play when we were small...filling those spaces with white cubicles...Bangalore was appearing at its worst...and for a second I couldnt understand how I was staying in this place! Why had I even left my own heaven to come and live in this so very polluted, densely populated city? No answers for this - as there are no much choices I have as of now...maybe when IT progresses in Goa I can answer it - again a vicious circle...I dont want that to happen, as Goa might start assuming the fearful face of Bangalore, with cubicle like houses etc etc...maybe Goa would now be best after retirement itself...

Some of the good things were - my nice holiday hadnt been disturbed by aching exam results, or tensions of any other sort...there arent any sort of expectations coz I know there isnt any reason to expect, but the worries persist...howeva all that seemes so good in the holiday was short-lived...I cant get huge holidays when I am on a casual leave of course...there were some moments when, lying on my bed in Goa, I would think 'hell...I gotto return too'...but I got over them soon...now sitting in my cubicle and writing down my diary entries..i can imagine how soon I will be back to my own self...my own place - back to Goa...

holiday time...

Wow - doesnt this post smell cheerful itself? at least it does to me - well if u guys dont know then me headin for Goa this aftnoon - back to my hometown aft more than three months...have been repeatedly tellin my friends that my parents mite even put up the 'devdas' act of havin their eyes closed when i enter the flat...hehe...wud be da same for them as their only beta returnin back home aft long...

Bangalore for the past 3 months hasnt been unwelcoming for me at all...in the sense have got pretty used to it now, n have taken it to be my second home itself...but well - can neone give up the thought of their primary home? - n in my case its a place where everyone vouch normally to go for in case of a holiday...aaj aur kal to sabhi yehi keh rahe hain ki 'kya ashish..goa jaa raha hai? wahaan se hamaare kya laaoge yaar?'

bas - its great to go back after havin got some reputation for ureself - passed out from an unknown college and landed in one among the top 3 companies in da world - with a quite comfy life in Bangalore...hopin for a relatively warmer weather in Goa than here - howeva i know it will be cold there too...some things i have to do once i go there - go to da beach(wont get one here of course), meet some relatives n friends (wonder who are left in Goa presently)...n of course - chat a lot with my dear parents - hehe...

Of course the shesh bhaag of my adventure for management entrances this year is still to come - shall be back with a bang for sure(overconfidence - haha)...shall get back with more incidences of those aft me back...

2005 and my MBA prospects...

I gess all the MBA entrances this year will again shut their doors on me just as IIFT did today - just a very terse reply - not selected for GD/PI...now wat does that supp to mean? Somethin which i dont like about these colleges - they dont have proper sense of management themselves...now another thing which i heard on PG today - 'O well I got thru IIFT and yea I was pretty sure the cutoff will be in the range of 30-31...about 5 to 10 marks less than what the institutes have predicted'...oh yeah? Well I'll be damned if I havent heard one of those before...n yea - to think of it...after a nice exam i had had at St Joseph's...i am supposed to believe that my score is in the sub 30's...i very well refuse to admit that...

Why does my belief in these MBA entrances seem to be diminishin day by day - just coz i cant make it...naah..but just coz those who make it just seem to be havin their luck shining that day...either in terms of rockin speed - say like crackin all da questions in the paper in the allotted time...or a perfect bulls eye accuracy...or just like an 'in-pin-safety-pin'...and IIM is where i finally land in! No seriously, I will be happier now the day the entrance exam procedure becomes more transparent, more specific...n not just ranged over a wide range of topics as they say - 'a good mix of acads, work-ex, CAT score, blah blah...'The IIMs have already taken the first step forward by declaring the negative marking this year - something which they hadnt done i guess from when CAT had started being conducted...

Howeva the day wasnt so bad today - with the Time Management Workshop training for the full day, again taken by the eloquent Communication Skills teacher(ahem..an XIMB graduate)...did get to learn a lot though it turned monotonous in between...but it was better than sitin bekaar the full day...n here I am..havin just come from a friend's mini bday celeb...typin speedily so dat i can leave for today from office...

Anyway-the only exam which had gone gud for me in the 3 bygone exams has shown no mercy for this individual editin the blog - MBA prospects have been indeed bad for me in the year 2005...I dont know what the next year has in store for me...have stopped expecting things, but yes there is always a difference between what i expect and what i wish for...

People out here must damn well be knowin bout my wishes...

B Schooling – Hype and Hard Facts !

This is an article I have picked up form my all-time favourite forum, and I must give due credit to my pal from IIM Ahmedabad Suhas Anand for havin composed it...its certainly a must read...
--->

Before starting to write anything whatsoever about B School I would ask you to rent your ears to a truth which a lot of us forget in the big bang of salaries and entrance test preparations.

What might that be?

B Schools are a place where, at the end of the day you are going to do a post graduation in a chosen field. Doesn’t sound as romantic as those Swiss holidays and 6 figure dollar salary quotes? But yea that’s about it. All hype and hoopla must be put in the right perspective. I do not expect that all you young enthusiastic folks are going to take a post graduation for the love of learning and wisdom of words emanating from the Porters and the Kotlers of the world. But believe me when I say that it sure helps if you walk into the hallowed portals of a B School having a rough idea as to how you want to use two very important years of your life in an appropriate manner. It is entirely up to you as individuals to define and redefine what appropriateness means to you.

I don’t like your preaching. I’m in it for the dough!

Fine. But the catch is the media exemplifies everything that is wrong with projecting salary as the key driver of educational decision making. One Ravi Singhvi at IIMA getting 150000 + USD as starting salary must not be the driver for your decision for more than one reason. For starters, he has relevant and wide ranging experience spanning firms like Anderson and Citibank. Then again he was chosen as associate, a post not many graduates even from IIM A, can aspire as freshers. But the more critical aspect that a lot of folks tend to forget is that it is the highest salary offered. And by the very definition of highest, it follows logically (yea a no brainer!!) that it was offered to only one person! Logically it also follows that half of the batches in any B School gets less than or equal to the average salary projected (at around 7-8 lakhs) by most top schools. And the definition of average remains same whether it is A or B or Z! (Yea yea, I know. A no brainer again, but sad is the fact that a lot of people tend to forget this basic truth!).

Ok. Accepting that half of the class gets only around 8 lakhs, which in itself is some good money. 66666.666 rupees a month is good enough for me and my girlfriend to lead a happy life!

But unfortunately for you and your girlfriend, that is obviously not what you get in hand. That, in jobstreet parlance, is what is called the CTC (Cost to Company). At the end of the day if one gets around 35000 post the tax pie eaten by the government, one can consider oneself lucky.

Oops, I get more than that in my ABC Tech firm taking in underwear billing orders outsourced from Texas based retailing big wig !Why the hell should I then even heed this rigmarole of B schooling gibberish? Especially when I have been frightened by seniors regarding the sleepless nights and extreme workloads. Add on to that the unhealthy competition within batch mates and suddenly B school for me looks as appealing as Britney Spears and the boy bands!

Ok. Academic rigour exists. For the sole reason that there is so much to be taught, and only so much that can be learnt in a given period of time. At least the faculty thinks there is so much to be learnt before one can get out with the PG Diploma. If you are literally scared of studying, then it could be a tough time. But then one hopes you haven’t decided to do a PG for partying, pubbing and watching movies as prime motives .At the same time u shall get to sleep 4-6 hours depending on the match (or mismatch) between your aspirational levels (read positioning in the grade point scale) and smart study habits. I for one do not think intelligence has a lot to do with getting great grades in B Schools as much as smartness in writing exams and hard work has. It does help if you are a 9 pointer from IITs because you have been there and done that. The first thing one needs to do in the initial weeks of B Schooling is to understand that it is best to compete with yourself than with the entire batch. Set benchmarks for yourself and try to beat the bar. This in turn helps in relation building too! I reckon lot of people think that due to Relative grading (RG) relationships are tough to be built up at a B school. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The students understand the importance of networking. So whether with sincerity or otherwise folks here do build up relations and makes sure embarrassing fights are avoided. (The beer bottle swinging, drunk, rowdy brawls of engineering days are over for ever!!) The idea is simple. Most of the smart dudes surmise that tomorrow in the corporate world, a lot of their classmates are going to be head honchos in some XYZ corporation. They would rather not be in the bad books of anyone around, for you never know who’s going to be in need of whom! I for one have made some real fruitful friendships (which I hope stands for life) without such thoughts in mind. It again is incumbent on your own attitude to competition and how well you manage your relationships.

Ok. So what else can one practically gain out of 2 years other than building bosom buddies?

First up is a good first job!!!(Yea I come back to that!!) Hopefully in terms of profile as much as in terms of money! But there is definitely more to B schooling than placements. Remember that one gets out of any institution how much ever you want it to give you. If you spend more time with Sylvia Saint or J Lo than with something more productive (Ok, no pun!) you might not get too much of learning out of the system. But then you do not have a right to crib that there is no value-add in an MBA! You come across some amazing professors who are eager to teach and help you in any sphere, a great infrastructure setup, and a bunch of folks who generally are more ambitious and probably more intelligent than the majority. Their insights and drive might inspire you or at the very least help you appreciate different perspectives. You work a lot in groups (You are expected to work!!).Whether you end up doing it or not at least you get a feel of group dynamics. This is further bolstered by the innumerable chances you get to manage events and teams. If you want, you can go on exchange to international schools (in most of the top rung schools there are large number of options to choose from). You develop confidence by speaking/presenting your ideas in front of some of the best brains and getting it dissected by them threadbare. (This does help you in real corporate life especially in stormy meetings with subcontractors and clients).The course content also provides you some knowledge on theories which can come in handy in corporate life or even if you start something on your own. (Things like the accounting and financial management fundae, apart from the more critical aspects of Organisational Behaviour and Human resource management).

But can none of this be learnt or acquired out of a B School?

You can. B School helps you in being a single window providing these various services! If you individually start acquiring these, it might take you more time, energy and much much more motivation to be successful. But in the long run it wouldn’t make much difference. But again in the long run we are all dead!!
<---

givin ur best - but what if it isnt enugh?

You people must be sayin I blog after only an entrance exam...but well these days other than that there isnt nethin much to write u see...but kinda its better to write more bout the lessons one learns in life thru his experiences - JMET yesterday was another experience...

The IIT's are a brand by themselves - which sets them apart from the IIMs - i guess the only brand which has been havin recognition all ova da world from many years down the line now...so well - we can forget that the paper will even be misconducted - forget as shabbily conducted as IIFT did - besides da JMET process is carried by da GATE office itself...so well - n yes, it did have kinda da same standard a normal GATE paper wud have - normal sections like an evry'year' JMET paper...n yes, not to forget - an untouchable Quant section...

Had gone to stay over at my frenzs' place overnite at rajaji just as i had done for CAT...this time the centre was S.Nijalingappa College very close to their house. Did go to have a look at it da previous day though, but the other things done the prev day of course werent of ne use - eg. goin thru some basics in calculus,conics and vectors (folks, remember the higher math we studied?)...dint know wat was in store for me on 11th Dec...

As usual, 2 things were conspicuous by their absence - the hype of CAT which sets off the butterflies in one's stomach on DDAY...n the instruction on the first page of the test booklet to perform equally well in all sections. Reached the college by 9:30 AM...da normal situation - crowd outside...but heh...noticed some other things too - now i shud say some real innovative ways of makin money - number 1 - the mobiles were told to be deposited outside at a counter n ten rupees were collected from evryone as a fee - bull shit i shud say - i just switched it off and put it in my pocket, as must have some others...but yea there were a lot of dumb engineers out there i shud say... number 2 - a pandit from a temple standin outside, putin teeka for each kind of nervous student - hehe...dat was funny...n i gess he too was doin it for a ten rupee note to be put in his thali...

Howeva even more things...the bench of the same type which i had for CAT..but this time i even got a shaky one...i saw the dumb engineers of today also handin out evry bit of paper they had to da supervisor...as if he wud rap on their heads durin the 2 hours which wud follow and ask them to remove their gurlfrenz photo from their wallet as if they had xray vision - more bull huh?? me was unmoved though...the real fire set in wen the booklets were distributed...n yea it all began at 10:30 am...a normal start to a normal paper - verbal to begin - bashed the entire section, went onto logic...went very good in da beginning, with the exception of an arrangements caselet which was disguised and appeared real easy, but of course wasnt...wasted almost ten min there, n yes...if i hadnt left it the next sec i wud have ruined the paper...for a change DI was gud and i had a decent no of attempts there...came for a brief break in betn to Quant (shall call it a brief break coz i ran back to DI soon)...sectional cutoffs not bein there i guess is the trademark of JMET...but coz u gotto attempt this section, i had to scan for 2-3 sitters...which werent there of course...but some solvable questions were present...the level of the calculus and higher math questions reminded me of the paper i had answered five years back - IIT JEE - that too only the screening as i cudnt make it to da mains...

The experience was pleasant but i cud have done much better...attempts as usual werent much at all...howeva the bad memories for the day were extinguished with a blast with my frenz in the evenin which followed..one of the best get-togetha's in recent times...mornin dawned today - come n surf thru PG n i find dat some guys had actually cracked the paper like netin...there were no complaints of a tough logical caselet or nethin..(wer did dat go?)...

Realized well - howeva betta an average guy performs, there are always people who perform much better than him....n well, this time there are even more number of people vyin for the top b-schools...da guys n gals in India, as i had earlier estimated are indeed good at braining up in da exam hall...n there are some real good performers who will neva be missin...pushes me to think that I have no place here in this maniac entrance exam world now...coz sometimes even ur best effort isnt enugh in certain cases...just as an entrance exam...(opinions needed)...of course but thats how life is...all u can do is give ur best n just wait n hope for the rest to be the best for u...

phew! am tired for the 2005 at least - no more exams for now!! This whole rigmarole will make my trip to Goa this weekend even more excitin in fact...!

cant wait to get back home now!

Thoughts about making into HR...

Aha...finali i am findin days where i have nutin much to do at office...today is one of those red-lettered days...but well...nuthin to do also give u the feelin that well- u r good for nuthn, so nutin is given to u...such a feeling can be difficult to digest...

Wateva...a nice day actually to think of how i can make my blog a better one for my pals to read...write some more interestin stuff from my life, my thoughts etc etc..as from today mornin i have just been chattin n goin thru mails...as my object is done there isnt much to do (as of now no phones or emails from the PL or TL - hard to say bout this coz i can get one in the aftnoon itself)...tot i shud devote the time to enrich my laptop wid some good stuff...n make it more user friendly for my usage...so will probably spend the aftnoon dloadin the latest version of DirectX etc(I was surprised when my teammate told me dat i had only an 8.1 - dats pathetic)...cud have relied on the technical guys here to have installed the latest one much before...oh well - will have to do the same myself now...

neway comin to the topic of today- why HR appeals to me...had been goin thru a few blogs a while back about people, HR and technology, how the three are linked...the word people itself has a significant meaning for me...I know i can bond well, speak well, consult effectively, etc etc..(boastin eh?)...but all dat doesnt actually mean that i can get into the HR domain immediately does it? A few conversations with people and they tell me...'Oh for HR u require an MBA pal'...some others go like this on my question as to why one requires experience to enter HR..'oh dats gotto do wid da company's policies..now u cant fite those can u?'...i wud very well want to...

Put this question up for debate or a GD and i wud very well emerge the winner....no one has yet been able to justify my question as to why to enter the field of HR one wud require experience in the technical domain? I mean - what da hell do pointers, interface programming, or in my case,triggers or cursors gotto do with recruitment and other HR policies? Some others wud say that ok, well, for being a senior HR manager, one shud be experienced in da HR domain...now how to zoo zatt??? We enter IT companies obviously as consultants or programmers rite? then htf does one move into the HR side?

An experienced person had once given me a good reply,'Kinda maybe u require experience, so that with that experience, a person understands how to manage himself, and so he can move upto levels like HR'...but me not satisfied? Wat bout the previous notion bout experience in HR?

Will neva get ova this topic? Still think a lot of 'readin' knowledge about HR wud be good...da coveted MBA leaves only a few destinations for HR...the entrances of which are yet to come - in case dat doesnt seem possible, i gess i have to do it the hard way..

The topic is open for discussion...

How a software engineer matures...

Posting this after a long nite yesterday, and a late good morning from all my friends today…yea…it was some good amount of ‘work’ time…but not that I actually did a lot of work…yesterday was da delivery of my first object to the client. Yeah the object had been finished long back, but it had got delayed kinda due to other stuff with higher priority…mine n my pal Krishna’s object release was yesterday…so well – it was a long nite with the PL(Project Leader) and da TL(Tech Lead)…

Not all dat boring…pretty managed to enjoy myself coz of the great smiling faces of both of them…n the jokes which were cracked in betn the testing and the other procedures…was more of testing yesterday, my mentor was nice enugh to take the lead to prepare the Test Plan document for me – of course I helped him in every possible way…but it were his fingers which moved along da keypad…

Of course after all hoch-poch I finally embarked on my journey to the room at 2 AM in da cab – yea knowin that I will sleep a lot, but not knowin that I will sleep till 9:30 am today…2 and a half hours more than the normal sleep which I been havin these days…reached office todat at 11:30 am…Krishna of course came much later…at around 2:30 – dats a small while ago…was shocked to hear that he left at 6! Dats a full nite’s sleep gone…so well – truths of a software engineer which I had heard finally do turn out true…so indeed do people break their backs and ruin their sleeps for meeting the deadlines of the clients…of course it only meant yesterday that they werent kinda met as one object wud have been released today…don’t know how much it wud cost them this thing…maybe a fortune…but Pfizer finally doesn’t turn out to be zero defect error leakage after all…

Finally the points in my life have come when the transition of the boy to man have begun…when the midnite oil burns for more specific reasons…where I start returnin late for more relevant stuff, other than nite outs with friends, parties etc…of course those will always be part of life…but kinda responsibilities make u feel more broad-shouldered, more a part of the mature junta in the world…it feels like u have actually entered the corporate world..

Of course my choice of what I want to do in life, and what I want to get from it doesn’t end here…blog, lets hope me n u share this journey togetha 4 all da days to come…
