The new year blah blah post

Edit: The netbook wasn't bought by me, a group of friends paid for it, the prev post on thanking people was inspired by their act. So much moved that I bragged abt it to everyone I know :)

People ask me how 2009 was and how the decade of 2000s was, and I realise wtf let my blog also join the boring gang of new yr posts, not that I have anything against new yr celebrations but making sure you post on new yrs is soo stereotypical (so I'm posting on 2nd :P)

2001-2003: +2 at Goutham Gudavalli, 2 of the best years of my life unlike for many others. Hostel life with close friends, celebrity treatment as I was in IIT batch, pampering parents as I was away from home, some real good new friends (no time for girls, too busy studying) :)

2003-2007: IIIT-Hyd, life altering (afterall thats what college is all about), made me change more than 200% I'll say from a sucker to a psycho :P, less in classes n more outside including coll politics, made few good friends again, n I had a pack of hostiles also (long story). There are no stoned in Hyd we didn't turnover, no restaurants unexplored (thanks to Pratibha scholarship ;) ). I would'nt count them to be my best years (infact quite a bit opposite) but they definitely were life altering and very very thought provoking (outside the class). Made me believe in myself n dream of the future.

2007-Oct2009: DELL Inc, when I didn't sit for all those companies offering wooping amount of salaries my friends warned me and few others mocked me, but I guess everyone agreed with my point of view after they saw my life in Dell. Its a nice place to be, but for recession ofcourse. Esp I got a chance to work, play, have fun, study outside IT, learn and more importantly got apt recognition at every chance. I again learnt a lot about life n as such. Thanks to my managers for all the support, poor me I don't to bitch about my managers like others :D

Jan 2009: ER beeeeeeeeeeep .

Feb 2009: Dumped my bplans due to recession.

Mar 2009: No promotions or hikes at work due to recession. S again beeeeeeeeeeep :). Cousins marriages, loved the weddings, was very much part of them. Unlike most 20 somethings, I like social gatherings, ofcourse not for very long; I like to make an entry, wish everyone, know what people are upto, have nice food n leave. Nothing more nothing less :)

Apr 2009: Life is good with lot of concerts, professionally really good with few awards n recognitions, made few new friends. Met U.

May 2009: work work n more work. I didn't sleep for 3days at a stretch, strange thing no one forced me to it, it was voluntary. Ofcourse recognized for my efforts again :).

Jun 2009: Leg surgery, I tore a ligament playing badminton or cycling. I neglected it for the last few months and here is a surgery.

Jul 2009: Back to work from home in 3days post surgery and 15days back to office with a walking stick :D.

Sep 2009: Nothing eventful for the last few months, resigned to work this month and last working day would be Oct 15th just a day before my 25th bday. Surprised people, but thanks to my surgery I got time to convince my parents. M left for MBA, I'm REALLY happy for her, atleast someone listened to me n took the right decision, but I'll miss a good friend :)

Oct 2009: I'm finally out of IT world, hopefully forever. Promised myself I won't spend anything untill I find a source of income. A rush of ideas. Some contacts who want me to join with them in startup. Few other contacts offering me backup IT jobs if I ever decide to come back. My bday actually celebrated by my friends and colleagues (I never did), the struggle for survival begins ....


hmmm looking back at it nothing 'happy' this year actually na, but somehow I was always happy :) Good for me hehe...I didn't mention everything from 2009 but thats more of less it. Hopefully the new yr 2010 will be more eventful n lot more exciting both professionally and otherwise.

Happy new year folks :)
