15 days too long
Hi folks. Yes i'm alive and well.
I know, I know 15 days of no blogging is unacceptable. This blog is after all supposed to be a 'peek into my life' so if I didn't blog for 15 days does it mean I didnt have much of a life for 2 weeks?!!
That could'nt be further away from the truth. I have infact had too much of life stuffed into the last 2 weeks that I have hardly got the time to do anything else.
Read on, to find out some of the highlights of the last 2 weeks -
As usual 7 AM to 9 PM, Monday to Thursday, every week, i am at 'work' at perotsystems. Life at work is pretty fine. The environment is great and the project is also fine but the travel sucks. We also had the privilege of meeting all the board-members of Perot Systems including Mr. Ross Perot Jr. - Chairman, who had come to Bangalore for their historic board-meeting. Read about it here and here.
On 19th of March went for a couple of nice birthday treats at Pizza Hut!
On 20th there was a BDotNETStudent UG meet where Mr. Manoj Ganapathy delivered a great session on the why and what of the .NET Framework.
Earlier this week our dreaded 7th semester results were announced and thanks to all my prayers to all the Gods - I passed all the subjects, that too with 3 gold-medals! For the uninitiated a 'gold-medal' is 35 marks, which is the minimum required to pass a subject. Not a very good performance I agree, but considering how many classes I bunked last semester and how little I studied this is a good result!
Finally managed to check out Forum Mall, the newest money-drain in town. Went straight to Landmark, a bookstore and read up the new introduction (author's notes) in the Indian edition of the Ramayana series by Ashok. Got lost amidst all the books and was finally dragged out by my hungry friends (it was well past lunch-time) but not without a copy of Transmission by Hari Kunzru and Yuganta by Irawati Karve, both highly recomended books by Ashok.
Today is holi and good friday and thanks to that is also a good holiday! Finally managed to get some serious shut-eye which I had missed so much over the past few weeks.
Other pending work include Imagine Cup, Windows ChallengE, student partner portal, student project program, anaadyanta, and loads of work with BDotNETStudent and the student champ program....
I wonder when I will find time for my next blog post in the middle of all that work :(
