Year 2008.

I just thought to write about the past year that has gone by for me. I know its little difficult but still i will give it a try..


In the beginning of 2008 from Jan to Feb I was still pursuing my embedded software engineering course at ISM and simultaneously was trying for a job. I finished my course somewhere in mid feb and started trying for job, but unfortunately i dint find any for the next one and half months. It was then i decided that i will do a project on Linux device drivers because that was the area i was interested in . I was in depression for not getting a job and pressure too. pressure i mean from within not from anybody. At one point of time i was so much depressed that i played some 900+ games of suicide chess with catnail in a single day. The only relief i got to get out of my depression is the weekend hangouts I used to have with my friends phani and pradeep and one happy days movie which i watched was too good.. other wise i would be in home only most of the time playing suicide chess or applying to N no of companies.. finally some relief came when i was selected for ITC .. but i dint like the job type so i dint join . and then came stag software . I was happy to join it. I was all set to join that company but they dumped me at the last moment saying that my joining date would be in sept. so i was pretty scared!! . fortunately i had given intr to a company called ASL before i could hear from stag ... and that helped me . Finally i got a call from this i was selected . It was a huge sigh of relief for me. and it was what i wanted for . tats y i say "whatever happens happen for the best "when i think of stag now. and I was employed with ASL .. finally some action!

Now coming to second part i think life became little easy when i got Job. everyone was happy. Life went on just like that . I watched dark knight with friends and liked it so much that i watched it two times at PVR and N number of times on my PC daily. Its still going on.:) and one more thing is we had a recently trip to chunchi falls and makedatu from office which i dint enjoyed much.and im enjoying my life now . and one more interesting incident i would like to tell which happened to me recently. I got call from one of far friend who is a far relative of mine asking me to whether i would be interested in making money. now who would say no! all he said was meet him at ST marks road at 7.30pm. I went there after office . all i found out was i there was some function for joining AMWAY to sell their products through indirect marketing. we get some 4% of the products we sell i got to know. Now to become a member we av to attend a training on Saturday by paying 600rs.. and to start selling to av to pay rs 995 as fees and spend time on weekends telling people i know. i dono how to come out of there coz i hated it. and I absofuckinlutely don't av time for all that . all i want to do now is Linux kernel and on weekends hang out with my friends. tats all i want to do. It was very difficult situation for me. because he was a far friend and I dint wanted to hurt him because if i buy those 600 bucks ticket he will get commission.some how I managed to say shim No in a way tht sounded YES and i escaped from there : P.I dono y always i get caught in situations like this!!. I should be careful from next time . what ya say?



And 2008 was the year in which i increased watchin movies in theatres very dramatically.. because till 2000-2007 I had watched very few movies in the theatres . probably 5 . and from 2000-2005 only 2 :P..but i used to watch movies in my comp. Im not a movie buff but this year its been quite a few ..I would like a tell one of things i learnt from early part of 2008 is never say die and never ever give up!! thats what i learnt and every man has always but one destiny..tats all i was able to write. so how was 2008 for u?


warm regards,

AN ENIGMA CALLED LIFE

Here we go .This is my first post.I dono where to start or how to start abt this Enigma(For the lack of better name) called Life.I cannot boast that" i have seen life" But yes im making a effort to understand this Enigma.life has been a Dark forest for some ,for others lts lilttle hard.All i can say life is the only thing worth living for!!.and there are quite others like me who cannot decide what type of lives we have lived until now.life has been neither very easy nor very difficult for me.some times i got things i never asked for ,others which i desired i never got them!!.I dont know why god has this plans for me !!! or it might be with most of us.very few people on this earth get wat they ask for.But i have a firm belief as a human being we all have a purpose to live for or to achieve some thing tat god has sent us to do tat.when i think of purpose one line of a kaanada song comes to mind"Huttodu yaake sayoodu yaake yenadru sadhisi hogoke.".i hope most people will agree to this.Different people have different views about life.for some life is just to enjoy and for others it has become"SHOW ME THE MONEY".life is little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.i beleive tat no other word can have many meanings and thoughts tat can create other than LIFE.frankly speaking to me Life still an enigma.It always try to outhink you when realise that u have some thoery about it.I call it an enigma because i have seen how it turns drastically over a short period of time.I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary man lends so much credence and attaches much more importance to waking events than those occuring in dreams.we all playthings of our own memory.I am sure, there are many people as emotional as I am. What do I mean when I say I am emotional ? I mean, I just cant take life lightly. This word called "life" is the most frequently used word by people like me.im still trying to find various forms of it and will do till the last breath..

This was my first post.so im very curious to know abt how it went.plz leave your name after writing comments.
