Hi guys !!

Hi guys !!

I know I know, its been a really really long while, but I was genuinely busy - there have been lots of changes in the life in too short a time, and it has really taken up most, or rather all, of the time I have.

So, lemme begin with giving you all a great news: I have joined one of the world's premier MNCs, also voted "#1 place to work in India" last year.. :) .. ohhh mann !! I really cant STILL believe it - u know, it used to be a place not even 'dreamable' about ... I mean, even in my wildest dreams could I never imagine being here.

just 1 month back, I used to see the people working here, and used to really look upto them in awe.. and suddenly, I find myself, sporting the same badge, travelling in the same bus, working in the same place as them... its sooo unreal abhi bhi - seems like I am in a trance !! :)

so, here are all the reasons for me not writing in:
1. preparation for the interview - yeah, I did study n prepare for it - took almost 2 days off..

2. the project that I was involved in in my last company, suddenly seemed to get all the interest showered onto it from the higher management.. agreed it was a 'cutting-edge' implementation, but still.. this, unfortunately for me, meant no or little time to have a 'honeymoon' period... [ we used to call the period between resigning and joining the new place, the hoenymoon period - u don't necessarily have to work, no late nights, no overburden...]...

3. some smallish problems at home, and my desire to meet my folks led me to Delhi on a 2 day quickie trip.. I travelled by Air Deccan both ways, and, must say, the service was decent.. leave apart the fact that whatever you eat or drink had to be purchased... but comeon yaar, what do you expect from a low-cost airline which makes air travel possible for people like us??

4. got clearance from the old office on friday evening 5 pm.. which meant hardly any time for leisure..


hmm... but had total masti in Delhi - it was my kid bro's birthday too, so it was all the more fun !! :) ..

guess I have written enough of 'non-sensical-to-others' things... but can't think of any 'sensible' things for now :P .. :) ..

Arre haan, forgot to mention - met a delhi blogger Ruchika in Delhi... before meeting her, we'd had a smallish exchange of mails in which she'd claimed she'll bore me up.. and I bet her that she can't be a bigger bore than I am...
and I know I won ;) :P ... in the end, she was bored to death ;) .. so the plan succeeded... :P ... all this, despite me having had to wait some 35-40 minutes for her... in Delhi's garmi these days... hmm.. but never mind, mission accomplished... ;)

rest laterz guys,
take care,
god bless n happiness always,
~me.
