So what if you quit IT ??

The lackluster life of an IT Engg, sucks big time.

If at all someday I am able to quit IT, here is the list of my dream jobs.

1. Start a Micro-financing NGO: Would love to work more towards Agribusiness and Entrepreneurship sectors, empowering rural India

2.Start a vintage car and bike restoration store: This is something that my heart wants to do more than my head.

3.A lone traveller: Travelling through India on a bike, living in a duffel-bag, clicking photos for magazines for a living.

4.Chef: Would love to have my own restaurant someday.

5. Teacher: Definitely not computers, may be history…

So what if you quit IT ??

Just another post

Aloha !!!

Past few days have been quite uneventful for me, thus there was nothing to write about. This post is an attempt to capture the nothingness over the last few days. Reader discretion is advised

Work : This is perhaps the only thing in this world that I am not interested to do, yet I have to do it. Well there has been some changes at work, work schedule has changed from 2×2 shifts to 4×4 shifts, so now I get to work for 4 days and do nothing for the next 4 days. Well most people would raise an eyebrow with the thought of ” 4 days off “, but believe me thats what is causing the emptiness. The sudden silence after 4 days of hectic work, is like braking your life from 100 – 0 in 3 secs. Just to kill time I am planning for an Agra tour sometime this month.

Home : Well there isn’t any for the “unmarried” kind, anyways there has been no change to the lair except for a routine clean-up session.

Food : Aha this is the best part of life since the last few days. It’s always a treat for the taste buds during Ramzan in HYD, coz its Haleem time then. On a quest to find the best haleem in HYD, till now Pista house rocks !!!

Read : Started off with a fiction “The girl with the Dragon tattoo – by Stieg Larsson ”, a day later “Above average – by Amitabha Bagchi” joined in. Both reads are good can’t comment much on the books as I have just started them.

Movies : Have been watching a lot of movies since a few days, liked some, “Perfume, the story of a murderer” , ” Offside” and “Divided we fall” are some of them.

World around me : On cloud 9 to see Mayawati pushed to the corner by SC for the statue farce, woohoo !!! Don’t know whats the problem with indian media if Shashi Tharoor wants to stay in a 5 star hotel, or if Congress wants it MPs to cut down on costs, all they want is a topic for debate at 9 PM. RIP YSR. Did you notice Indian media has forgotten the BJP episode, since a few days, guess its all well with BJP now

Time to go now, hope the next few days will be a lot more happening — Amen

Today – 06/11/2009

Its such a boring day today … absolutely no work. Its like one of the days when you get tired of browsing and want your manager to assign you some work

Thought this was the right time to checkout twitter, heard a lot about it and wanted to try it. After creating my profile, I was wondering what do I do next ??? Searched for some friends, found a few, started following them. Posted a few updates, but no-one replied, felt like it was like talking to a wall. Then started searching for topics and posted replies to it, aahh now I got it why do they say it twitter Have you ever been near/under a huge tree (preferably a Banyan tree) sometime late evening? All kinds of birds return to their nests and keep chirping like hell, as if , as if the sky is falling down, whith abolutely no-one understanding who is saying what !!! Felt twitter to be the same, there are some many people talking with so many others, its like you are in one big room with the entire world in it, you can talk to anyone and whatever you want. It was like I was lost in this room while trying to find someone to have some meaningful discussion. It was frustrating. Will give it a try again tommorow

Any tips on twitter are welcome
