Bummer!!

Those of you who don't know what Bummer means...its synonymous to "kela ho gaya" in Hindi. Soon you will get to know why the post is named this way.

5 months ago I was a happy guy working in office on weekdays doing some copy paste stuff, getting paid a decent money for that, life was good :). But then it was repetitive, not so much fun. Before that I spent 4 years in college having lots and lots of fun. So the idea was to go back to college and have fun for 2 more years. In order to get this fun back I,

a) mugged word list (really boring)

b) quit my job (really daring)

c) took a big government bank loan (really tough)

and came to US for graduate studies. And what do I get?

3 hours a day classes on tuesdays and thursdays. Cant complain about this. But this comes with a baggage.

a) On mondays, wednesdays and Fridays I have to go work for 8 hours a day.

b) Almost every week have to spend a night working on really tough assignments(I am not kidding, it is tough)

c) Read about biology( a subject I hate) because it is related to my independent study topic.

d) Stay indoors because the maximum temperature outside is -8 degrees.

Real bummer!!

PS: Wrote this watching dravid bat as slow as I have seen anyone bat(really boring). Truth is I love salt lake city. I love the snow, the school and everything about salt lake city :)

Another lil poem!!

-----My current life----

wake up at 8 and run to get to work,

no more Dairy Milks no more perk :P

Send some emails , attend a few call,

have your lunch and that is all,

come home at 7, and play farmville,

lie down on bed total pilpile (couldnt get another word to rhym ;))

Sleep peacefully until moti starts to snore,

just stir him a little when you can't take it more

Life @25

Steve Jobs says "for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something".

My answer has been no for over few years now and I do wanna change something. But the question is what? Lets explore some possible changes---

a) Half of the people I know are doing/wanna do MBA. I could not score 99%tile in a class of 30 people at school, forget getting it amongst 300,000 people who appear for CAT :(

b) Out of the remaining, half are looking for change in job. I got one by chance, and miracles don't happen everyday ;), so no chance.

c) Half of the remaining will soon be getting married. Sounds scary. No more Saturday morning cricket, no more "aao baithein". Though According to Anuj* its not bad as it sounds :P.

d) Girlfriend. I am a tried and tested failure in this field. Not a boyfriend material for sure. If you love you sleep more than having coffee with a girl, or like watching cricket more than giving her company for shopping, you have no future in this field. Just quit!!

Well anyways what good did looking into mirror everyday did to Mr Jobs, he lost all his hair, didnt realize he is wearing the same T shirt for the last 33 years, got kicked from his own company.

But the guy still rocks!!!

* All those who dont know what Anuj said , dont scratch your heads. You are not supposed to know it :)
