Random Thoughts

As I sit here with sunlight pouring through my window, all I can think of is how I am going to survive today. You see, the problem is that I have not slept well for the past one week or so. And the crowning glory is that I was unable to sleep even a wink tonight, which means I have been awake for close to 24 hours now. My eyes feel as if they weigh a ton and all I can think of right now is to complete the component I have been developing and run away from office ASAP.

On another note, since my MS is almost complete, I have decided to look for a new job. The only catch is that I want to shift to NCR as am tired of staying so far from home. Lets see what comes up with this :). Pray for me, will ya.

This weekend is going to be special for me as I am going to meet a few blog friends of mine for the first time. We all blog actively on the Satyam blog space - but have somehow never met till now. And now one of my friends is coming from Chennai to meet us here :D. Sounds interesting doesn't it :). The only problem is - as happens with all the programs - we do not have any specific plan except that we are going to meet other bloggers. We planned to catch Angels and Demons at iMax, but could not get the tickets :(.

The thing with blogging is that you tend to forge friendship with people that you have never met or talked to. And since you tend to share a lot about yourself with others (sometimes without realizing this), they know a lot about the real you. So, that initial ackwardness is missing and the conversation really flows.

On the work front, there are plans to shift the location from where my project operates. The new location will be very far from where I stay right now, so am not sure on what I will do when this happens. (The new office will most probably be in a SEZ - far from the city). But am not worried about that as of now - what will happen will happen, there is no point in pondering over it now.

I know this seems like a jumbled post, but the thing is that am suffering from some sort of a writer's block (not that I write well ;)), just like Zeba here. So I decided to write what ever comes to mind - and this is the result.

An exam, and disappointment

Well, I gave the paper for NIC this Sunday. And as expected, it did not go well. There are plenty of reasons for this, and following are the main excuses I have for this - 

1. The paper was setup on B.Tech subjects. I have not opened those books in 2 and a half years, so this was expected.
2. Was really bogged down with work, and so could not devote time to study.

However, the truth is that I did not open the books even when I had time to do so. Maybe I had made up my mind in that I could not go through the huge course in such a short span of time, and so I did not even try.

Any ways, since I was already expecting a real bad performance, I was not at all disappointed with my bad show. The disappointment I am talking about was in the voice of my younger sister. I told her that I had appeared in the exam, and her first question was - "So now you will come home!!" And when I told her that the paper did not go well, I could literally see her disappointment in me, inspite of her being miles away from me. I really felt sad in breaking her hopes, but then such is life.

Any ways, now I am back to the good old work schedule, deadlines, and mistakes. I am planning to host my own blog site before long, and am trying to learn the basics of CSS and refresh my knowledge of PHP. Once I feel confident enough, will be getting my own space on the internet. Watch space for more information. Till then....
