In the hours of meditation...

" Japakodi gunam dhyanam
Dhyanakodi guno Laya
Layakodi gunam ganam
Ganathparatharam nahi "


I regret for not having studied any art forms ,music or anything of that sake. Could start even now , but I am too impatient.


The greatness of music or dance is that it takes the performer to a completely independent world. A world where one forget about ones own existence, something which Rishis and Yogis try to achieve through meditation.

I am through a restructuring phase of my life. By restructuring I simply mean disciplining myself for some great work(of course, still unknown).Has to work out a plan for it..Hope this wont be another futile attempt as countless occasions before..

Wishing myself gudluck

DE Shaw... :(

So the drama has reached its climax...DEShaw has visited the campus and has taken two..
Cannot help confessing that I am filled with asooya...They wanted people to build "Complex Trading Systems " and that was what exactly I could offer them, as my adrenalin gets pumped up at the very thought of it...

But as Geetha says "Sambavichethellam Nallathinu , Sambavikkan pokunnathum nallathinu .." . Don't know whether I would have qualified for the interview , could I sit for it.Had I cleared the test , I believe that I had a fair chance. But clearing the test was always on cards.Otherwise I would have risked it.

Hope to get some good technical stuff at Oracle. Some years down the line, I hope ___________.

A turning point...

Well It was the first Interview of my life..bt was at home as I had no intention of joining it and as all eyes were on DE. der I am ,with my first glimpses of the T&P office , the most relaxed one.. observing the tensed faces around..It was fun..

It(The Interview) started with a Tower of hanoi..I managed it..And a lot of easy questions followed..My confidence slowly increased..I felt I could answer any question under the sun..

But it all changed suddenly in the second round..was asked bubble sort..couldnt write d program!!!!thought it was all over..bt again I regained d momentum..this time I was ready to answer any question,perhaps other than algorithms..bt He did not allow me to make a show off....

I said , "I am a person who tend follow my heart..If I love something I would do it..else I wont"
He : "So would you quit Oracle If you are put in a project which you dont like ?"
Me(With a huge smile) : "Most probably , I would.." (hihii...)

I suppose I was selected in the first round itself..As d person who had interviewed me in the first round was d head of the team..He might have been impressed..and dere I am..with my first interview success...

It was all unexpected..nothing short of a miracle...the most important part of it is that, I and Sangeeth is going to be together again..So I can continue to learn from this brilliant genius..


There was something which had been eating my mind for d last 6 months..I was dreaming it..I was living on it..And at times, I couldnt handle the pressure..Now it is a great relief..

But of course , der is also a sad part to it..Many dejected faces came out along with us..It is grueling to sit for 5 to 6 interviews and at the end of the day , u r informed that u r not selected..I know that something better awaits them..bt still I share their sorrow..and my prayers 4 them..

Now it is time 4 me to redefine my goals..something else to dream..
