target 4/24

sweeeeeet!
Had a fun time in trying to convince my Program and Project managers about why I want to leave the #1 IT company of India.
Not fun because of the masala involved and the chance to get dirty on 'em :p, but in all the commotion and before it began, I got real close to figuring out what I want and why I would want it.

Lolz. today my dear engagement manager came from Dayton, patted on my back and said - Ankush, yeh tum kya kar rahe ho yaar? me, "it for the best i guess". And end of discussion.
In a sense, I was waiting for him to say something and so I can respond in the best manner and find out if I can take him on...lost the chance...

So, here's the deal now -
I will be relieved mid April, and will be joining NuRide by 4/24. So will probably get a few days to chill out and start learning Eclipse :o)

Does GIS sound exciting? I am told I will be working with one such tool too!

cheers!

The Inside Man

What a crappy movie. I dunno...whether the director as trying to be different or whether he does not have the skills at all!

This gets a 5.5 out of 10.

The plot although smart, was quite a bit predictable. The dialects were pretty naive.

The most surprising part of the movie was that apna very own Dil Se - Chaiyya Chaiyya was the opening song...OST as you call 'em. Nice to see dat :)
(oh 'n i heard somme Indian gymnast also danced to Indian music in CommonWealth '06).

A scene about the cops harassing a surd was not what I wanted to see...being an Indian I know what Mr.Vikram felt about is turban, but obviously the hall found it humorous, ...screw them *mericans.

wooooohoooo!

yea!
NuRide got back with the offer. I've taken it.
All goes well and I'll be joining the firm in mid April...

Got out of Dayton when it was about to get chily. Will get out of SA before it starts burnin'!

project party at Simi's

Duh!
A project party in an Indian restaurant was the most distant from my idea of a project party location :p
Obviously not so much for others.

consolation - atleast we din't end-up at a texmex. I don't like that too much.

simple got difficult today

bummer!
nuride din't work out. Kush was sad for a moment today...

neways, now the fallback plan comes into play. Gotta write to Mr.Sam.

oh ho

Hey what the hell!
I thought I had it, probably for a brief amount of time. Now I can't seem to find it.
ghayab...chole gacho...!

Where is my inspiration?

I don't have it in me anymore? I don't want to do something big, something 'larger than life' in life.
Need some more time to think over this.

But yes, it's getting on my head - what is it that I want? What is that I really really want?

I had that needles and pins feeling in my stomach yesterday. Dat was scenario one.

I had a similar feeling again today. Scenario two - i cooked pav bhaji.
Well! It was really good, bhhhut, i think was too hot for my stomach.

I know i'll have this feeling tomorrow evening.
And I am glad I got that chance.

Go SPURS Go

a lot iz going on these days. have barely enough time to sleep. dats the price one has to pay for his own good ;)

Yeaaah!
Had bought tickets for the Spurs v Maves match about a month and a half in advance.
And what a match t'was! We won! We won! yeah, now that i'm in San Antonio, i have this bonding with the home team. Makes me more happier to know that this win made the SA team numero uno in West Zone.
I saw a basketball match for the first time here...so twas a nu experience. A good one! (unlike the D3 - Dayton Dragon Disasters!)
Had a lot of fun, pizza, beer, shouting, abusing the mavericks, oooohhhhs, and hoooorraahs! I'm a Spurs fan now. totally! oh and the Coyote...he was fun too. cheer girls...they played their part alright.

Am only afraid that i won't be able to cheer my home team for long...home team is gonna change perhaps!
