A Good Comeback!!

This blog has lived up to its name "zombies"-awakened from its dormant state,and so have we !!
This month began with all our minds set to that one word-"JOB".And Tcs,our saviour was the light at end of this placement tunnel ;).It was almost a do or die situation for which we entered into this phase where fun was a distant dream(but not so distant too:)).
8th January was the day when our IQ was put to test!A many new words flying across us at real time along with crazy passages about North Americans and what not and the usual Quant which increased in quantity and finally time ran out ;)-a written round that was attempted on pretty much an empty stomach(thats me :P).
Well the time kept ticking and the results kept us waiting until it struck half past midnight(AaaaaH ;))Bugs bunny gave the good news :) and next day we were to face interviews!!
9th January,a day which was pretty important and memorable for all of us!425 in number had their interviews.Some were grilling,some were a cake walk and for some there wasn even a proper tech round(Lambu!!).Some poor souls had to sit idle for hours in our very own indoor-Bull and Kd :D and later grab the meagre biscuits and samosas like refugees.
The interviews were slowly at its end and the wait for results trailed thru the night!
Tcs loved announcing results around 12 midnight!!A huge crowd at the indoor waiting eagerly while our "offer"letters were getting printed :)(sweet!).316 lucky ppl were part of the TATAS :) and of course,we zombies conquered this troublesome sea and waved the flags of victory!!!
1 am and we were filled with utmost joy :) :).hugs,group hugs,shouts of joy and smiles al over the place,it was a sight worth seeing :)Happiness personified :).
The week after was Accenture which opened a second door for Lambeshwar.Companies kept coming and it was an utter pain attending ppts.Cortina was a surprise with its high pay prize that made lazy zombie,bugs, write the test with a smelly mouth and niki without a bath :D.So unfortunate was that day that the test was screwing and Cortina decided to come another day to test our brains again!!(lambu:"condolences to al")But teacher cracked the test yesterday and walked in for the interview without a decent resume :P.she claimed to have cracked jokes with the hr lady and even made the interviewers disgusted with her "not-so-right" answers !
Well those results still awaiting.
Then came Bosch which brought confusion for niki and teacher(wen are you not confused teacher!!). I was one unfortunate fool to have got the wrong question paper which screwed up the rest of my day but niki was flying high as things were going her way :).She was the oly one for whom the doors of Bosch opened :) Yay!!
Then was Societe Generale,for which teacher was again confused but both of us sailed thru the written and gd easily :).But the interviews had conflicting questions of comparison-Subex and SG and Tcs and SG.Eventually I got my 2nd offer which was a grand ending to my placements :) thank u thank u ;)(i got goodies too :)).
Finally 29th January,the sun rose for one of our most most awaited plans-oh la la Wonderla!!(A comeback!).We zombies had a wonderful time together :)Sow showing great amount of courage to go in the scariest ride-Insanity!And water rides especially the wave pool were a lot and lot of fun!!
This month had its serious,happy and FUN times all in one huge package!
February,a beginning to the 8th sem which by all means gotta be,surely, memorable for us all
A good luck with the projects-IBM,DRDO,NI and Mindtree(:P)
Also good luck guys for ur 2nd offers :).
Chao :)

my very first blog...:)

It's nice to see my fellow zombies growing up ( FINALLY!!!), making deir future plans n al...

It's so ironic dat the kid amidst us(huggies baby) has made a 5 year plan ( does he even know how to count till 5??? )...

I also realise dat i'm lagging behind  ,not even a single 'to do list' ,no clue watsover i wanna or like to do ... But it feels nice not to waste my precious time over it,while i can spend it sleeping,sleeping n more sleeping...:)  Let the future reveal itself wit a whole lot of suprises(gud surprises)...

Well wait a sec,i do know one thing i really need to focus on "get over my laziness" , my very first blog is my first step towards dis goal... 

Nothing more to say ,but i'l be back soon wit more crap...

PS: Any insults to anyone in dis blog r unintentional,read at ur own risk...:)

Fear not, I'll save you!!!!

Do not fear blog! KD is here to save the day! KD man nanananananananana KD man nanananana....... ok thats enough.

Future talks i see . Well then i shall put in my two cents as well (yea yea , "thats all they're worth", hardy har har)

Well obviously first plan is to buy Xbox 360 which is an interesting time to buy since new hardware is coming for the Xbox called Project natal which is like a camera which tracks your movement using motion sensing and lets you play games without any controllers. That should be fun.

Then Gadgets are always on my list . I would like to attend at least one of the CES (consumer electronic show) in las vegas just to see what its about . They always have some cool tech and you have some level if you get things that are not out in the market.

Then i would like to start a comic book collection but i don't have even one :_( because they are so damn expensive(the good ones are anyway)

I would like to own a nice camera . Not a high end one . A decent one should be just fine one that does the job not "shows off"(i'm looking at you teacher)

At some point i would like to own a nice car . Foreign one perhaps but an Indian car with a foreign design will do as well. I don't like Indian styling too much . The Rims are the worst things i have ever seen. And the shapes are completely unimaginative .

I would like to have the liberty to change phones as new ones come along but that works out only if you have the right kind of job which gives you the moolah required for such kind of dreams.

And i think one of the important things i want to do in my lifetime is visit the US and Europe at least once. Just go with friends and explore a new place for a good amount of time . Try to live free and experience things stress free. Not in a rush , "Oh we have to go there and there and a billion more places today since we don't have time". Holidays on a time limit are not really holidays . They are a challenge on your time management skills . Ruins the fun.

Oh and job dreams would be to be a game designer/game tester/lots of money earner/aston martin owner since i'm earning lots of money/ridiculously famous because of my games/accomplished writer since Codename:Nightfall(That's the name i've given my story by the way)is crazy famous and its part of a trilogy which has been made into a 5 part movie series/and astronaut/firefighter/pilot since thats every kids dream :)

I guess thats it for now i shall go dream up some more totally achievable goals later

The future and all that jazz

The once prodigious, and now neglected, blog is making feeble attempts at a comeback. This is my little push, trying to make it happen.

Today when we all met up for lunch(if you can call that lunch), I noticed how the topic of discussion always came back to one thing. Future plans. You know what that means. We're officially growing up. (Not including the time spent woohoo-ing when playing fifa.)

The thing with these future plans is that it is all centered around things to do/buy after we start (hopefully) earning. The time period for this is around a year from now. (Only one happens to be a 5-year plan.)

Here are some of the things I want to tick off the to-do list in one years time:
- Own a DSLR (borrowing not counted.)
- Expand book collection to atleast 1.5 times current size. (Dad/Mom/Brother's books not included.)
- Learn to write without excessive use of parenthesis. (Surely you've noticed the overdose of brackets, right?)

Well since I dont have much more to say about this, why dont you(you, who's reading) comment with your immediate or not-so-immediate future plans. Or better still, make a post of it here. The blog really could use a revival of sorts.

Cheers to the future!

So what else.........

Well its been a long time since i forayed into the blog world . The thing that reminded me that blogs still exist is the fact that teacher still writes on hers which is nice to see (which i found out through twitter). So i was curious to see what had happened on our zombie blog and the last thing anyone ever wrote was me (thank you thank you) and i was just thinking its about time someone wrote something about something (thats a very specific statement).

Well the wonderful thing is i don't really have anything specific to say. So i'll just talk about whats new (since we haven't really met up in awhile). Hm.. lets see now , first of all i got a new phone :) Nokia 5230 . Black color, touchscreen, it has this new feature called "This is a kick ass phone" . This particular feature is how you say , a.............. hm.... thats weird, i cant for the life of me think of a word that'll fit here, how bizarre. Anywho i started my project (kind of) at IBM ISS!! but sucky thing is i'm doing it alone but hey what are you gonna do right. Its very scary to work there cos its all quiet and professional. And the big boys don't have time for the little fish but there is one guy at least who's interested in helping me. He has his sights aimed real high with thoughts like "Maybe we can even patent this after its done" . PATENT! ME! HAH! i'll just be glad to see the end of this whole project business because its turning out to be quite a pain in the ass. The cafeteria there is boring (even the lady who stands at the juice counter is like "Oh you again , what do YOU want??!??") but i guess something is better than nothing. Other than that its pretty much same old same old . Stupid hard drive keeps giving CRC errors which the net says it means the drive is on its way out :_( So now its a race to see whether the drive will crash or my lazy ass will get up and buy a new one. Bring it on Hard drive!!!

So thats about it . I'm pretty sure no one checks this place anymore so this post should go unnoticed for awhile. But i just thought the blog must be feeling lonely so why not cheer it up (I know none of that made any sense but anyway) Keep on blogging people. Its fun especially when your bored and have nothing to write about. (Wooo look at that i sure can ramble on)
