Twenty Five..

This is the fourth year in a row I have been dutifully writing birthday posts and I start exactly at the same time. Its around 11:30 at night when everyone else is asleep and you wait for the clock to strike twelve so that you can say you are officially an year old now.

So Its been 25 years and now i can put down my cribs as my Quarter Life Crisis.

This is the time I take a recap of the year that has passed. 2014 has not been the greatest year. Not that a lot has gone bad but nothing has been outstanding. College has been monotonous and same. Only now there is some excitement planned. My life has taken a turn for good. I am pretty sure the next and the coming years are going to be different and good. (Details later). As I had no much expectations of the year, it lived up to it and was bland (barring a few mind boggling instances)

The most saddest part of the year was in the last month when I broke my camera. It has been a priced possession and i sank that day like never before. I am still kicking myself for it. Hard times for the photographer in me. :(

New year!! New Hopes! New Desires!!! Hope everything goes very well and things in my mind take a rest for good.

Happy 25th to me!!!

I have planned to close down this blog and start writing on Tumblr (if you are really interested:  http://www.memoriesandmegapixels.tumblr.com/)

Yet another Birthday post...

Twenty Three?? It has been four years since people called me a teenager. I have already completed a quarter of my life. Working since an year now. I remember last time when i had written this i was still a guy just out of college. freedom was all that had filled my mind. now that very brain is stuck in a 8x6 cubicle, glaring at the monitor for close to 10 hours a day. Then spend 4 to 5 hours traveling. And even my dreams are filled with talks to manager and the team lead. In short, Life has been slow, dull and off late stagnant.
         If i was told in advance that this would be my fate last year at the same time, i would have most certainly been disappointed. This past year has been the most awful experience. I Know i am just about starting my career, but this is not even close to what i had imagined in my worst nightmares. Esp. the past six months after i began working actually has been pathetic to say the least. A work-o-holic team ( So work o holic that they deserved an entire post in my blog, where i rarely write anything), insane amounts of traveling, and sleeps filled with nightmares. This describes my last 6 months. To add to that, days seem to be very long, every morning I look forward to the time I leave office and that seems a long way away (thanks to Einstien's theory of relativity).
         Looking back at the last year, I feel a li'l proud that i came through all this. But it hasn't helped me that the phase hasn't passed yet. It has been so turbulent and hectic that i rarely see my parents(only on weekends), and further resulting in me losing contacts of many many of my mates. My sincere apologies to all of them. Just one positive being, I met a great and a special person, and the friendship has been amazing. A heart felt thanks to her.
          Other than work, CAT had kept my brains busy... but with that finished off 2 days back, i have very less to look forward to other than work. And the fact that even CAT didn't go well, my future looks very very blur.
           But great people have said, A bad start leads to a good end. Hopes, even though very less, are still alive. Time has to pass and this time i hope it passes relatively fast.

Happy 23 buddy!!!

A NEW BEGINNING

        I didn't want to repeat the last year's birthday post, but it has been a similar year to the previous one.: I still am cynical about my life and its future...

          Only difference is, this time around, i have completed My engineering degree, havesuccessfully belled the C.A.T once... (but then untied the bell.. :D), struggled around with the engineering Project, got into a job (but have been waiting for the joining date), and co-incidentally, i would be joining on the very same day as my 23rd birthday... :P

         Come 24th October, my life takes a turn for sure.. but not necessarily in the right direction. Then I will enter a field totally alien to me.Till now for me computers were only for the entertainment part of it and never before i have even tried to write programs (except for the exam early in the engineering course, where i felt i was held under point blank to write them). So i can't write programs to save my life and come next week i will start making a living by doing the same... I again don't know if i have made the right choice or not. The last Week left before i can say I am officially a 23 year old ass... This last week is the time to reflect upon the past year

          This year has been strange in many ways than one... First was the super good news of clearing CAT, then it was clearing placements, but later i was told i was not supposed to take up interviews for any other companies from college. This was the first major set back.. then came the Final semester engineering Project which was a total disaster(I still don't know what was the project about and how it worked).. And when i was relived that i had completed engineering, the insanely boring 5 months idle time before i join the company... I know people would say this is the only time we get to enjoy and we have to make the best of it... But to me, 5 months is helluva long time (even to enjoy)...

           But, these 5 months of my life has been a life changing one for more reasons than one..Firstly memories in megapixels happened (I had never thought that i would go beyond 5 photos), I hope it continues. Then, I was able to make some very very good friends whom i never thought i would talk to, But i'd never regret doing so... next it gave me the time to think about myself at last. I have had enough of compromises, enough of fear for what people would think and say. Time to change all that. I think i have figured out the right way to live(Better late than never :D)... but only time would tell how successful I am.  

So, entering a totally new life in a week's time, completing 22 years of my life and Hopefully will make a New Beginning...
Advance Wishes... HAPPY 23rd BIRTHDAY to me :)
