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,
