If money could buy happiness, I was trying to buy it...(though my bank balance is zero)....

It's time for a review...

It is almost 2 months that I have been with the world's second largest soft co. And I have started to like the job, quite dearly...

This is a 'no non-sense' company...perfectly straight forward in things...

Right from the selection process it was obvious..they didn't conduct an aptitude test..they didn't even ask me to introduce myself in the interview...they didn't ask any routine HR questions...they cared only for the technical abilities...because that it is what they needed the most...They didn't say that you should wear this and that...they didn't say that you should come at this time to office and leave only at other...They don't have an attendance system..And they were pretty straight forward in their figures too..They pay exactly what they quote... looking back, I realize that there wasn't a better place for me to fit in...

Still it took me time to come out of DEShaw hang over..But I should admit that I am perfectly happy now...Stepping inside, I reckon , that there wasn't a single concern at the backdrop to disturb me... I remember that it was not the case when I had changes in my status quo...When I moved into DonBosco,when I stepped in NITC,always there was some sort of fear at the backdrop...But I was and am at complete ease in this wonderful environment...

Now the challenge is to not get carried away..to maintain the same passion for the things I love...

Some more blah blah blah....

I have made some very important decisions in the last few days...
Let me summarize it here so that I wont forget it..

1.I wont do MBA or Mtech or anything of that sort .

(So happily here is an end for my learning career.
I just dont want to attend classes, simply for the sake of attendance without even listening for a minute. I just don't want to study those bloody case studies which I would have to do, if I join a management Institute.)

2.Five years down the line I would have started my own enterprise.


So dats all...

Ritu....

Watched Syamaprasad's Ritu...Nothing extra ordinary , but here and there it touched the heart..The last film that I watched with wet eyes was Blessy's Thanmatra...So it has been a long gap after that..

A cinema is a powerful medium of communication..I enjoy a film when I could relate myself to it..when the scenes brings some nostalgic memories to my mind..but genuine creativity in the malayalam industry is not visible...

Recently I saw a talk by Sunitha Krishnan , narrating her fight against sexual trafficking...It was another touching narration that communicated to the heart..It mad me think " Who are real heroes ? "...We often miss-interpret excellence as heroism..What we see in the lives of stars around , whether it be from the field of sports,film,business or politics , they are mere 'excellence'...And heroism is much more than that..And sadly, the society fails to appreciate it..I salute the wonderful life of Sunitha Krishan and wish I had half her courage...

I wonder how uncaring are we ( or perhaps I ) to the society..Some days back I heard that one of the cooks in my mess was suffering from cancer..An age old man who had retired as the chief cook and continued to work as a temporary staff , that too a 12 hour shift daily for a meager wage of Rs 150..I had eaten many of the 'Dhosas; and 'Pooris' made by him..perhaps the second person to have cooked for me after my mother..But still haven't made any enquiry about his health..busy with my own preoccupations in my own world..
Truly shame on me..


Back to some pep thoughts...Had been wishing to systematise my life for a long a time..but not even a single attempt made in that respect..Things are not diffrent in 2010 too..as lazy as ever...Has not forayed into the field of literature so far..Now it is time for it too..Wish to learn many things like Jyothisham,Finance,Phsycology and so on..and also the art of programming..

And about 92 days left as student...(Mixed feelings :) ) and enjoying each and every moment of it...
