Aravind's musings

Well, what do you know? The clock still ticks... :D

After all these years on the Blue Planet, one thing I sure know about myself.... I am a pro at "re"starting things.... Be it my hazaar attempts to get into a semblance of being "physically-fit" or at "getting regular" at work/study..... Lest I digress, my current re-start is this blog which was abandoned to its fate after 3 posts in a period of 7 days some time back last Oct before CAT.
And before any of those who may read this comment, let me say it ".... And it might have been better to let it stay as such!"

I'm up at 3 AM trying to decide how to best express the events that how occured in the interim.... The agony of writing CAT, the painful process of preparing for GD's n PI's and then that most-excruciating wait for the results before the euphoria of making it to IIMA. Or maybe I'd be better off just writing about the current scenario. I think I will do just that.

Another 2 weeks to go and then I'm out of MindTree. A place which has been less of a company where I was an employee and more a place where I've had a huge 2-year holiday.... A technical learning curve which, if not straight is sloping downwards..... Amazing colleagues esp. in 'Nirvana' (who I joined straight from Kasaragod) - most of whom I would now count among my best pals; having together undergone the rigours of the initial training, sport discussions, SS2, CS and Mafia gaming sessions, movie watching.... Initially a good team to work with, with an understanding and respected manager...

What then? Once I am out of MT? No ready answers come to mind.... Wait and watch for developments on the Mktg proj front. If nothing happens, enlist fellow Mafiosi and try getting the last few seats for the YHAI Kodai trek. Spend a week in Kerala meeting up all CH'ians at the much-awaited Renoy-Priya wedding... Definitely plan to read some stuff before leaving to Ahmedabad... Watch movies at Forum for 50 bucks every morning :D
Hmmm.... Things may not be that boring after all ;)

Changing track yet again, today (or rather yesterday :| ) was a day of "functions"; atleast for a person like me for whom attending one formal function a month is pretty much par. That way going to Seetha's new apt's Grihapraveshma and Viju's wedding reception was quite draining. The plan for lunch 'n a movie with Saif, Patil and dead should be fun..... And so should the evening @ IIMB meeting people who might have been my fellow fachchas or tuchchas :)

Oh well, I guess thats about all that comes to mind. Wonder how long it'll be before I get something of substance to post!
