Wazzzup...!

It's been a while since my last post (again!) so I thought I'd just stop by on my blog to say "Wazzzup people!". Nothing much, u say?? Same here guys....same here...! This is precisely why blogging is such a difficult art.....it's so frustrating to try and come up with something to write about again and again and again......I truly admire folks who post something on their blog virtually every day, sometimes every hour almost! I guess its a testament to the kind of life they lead....a life on the fast lane, an endless adventure, days filled with moments to capture and share with the world. Sometimes it makes me sit back and wonder where my life is leading me, and whether I'm on the right track. The transition from a student to a working professional seems to have made me reach new levels of laziness at home -- I just cannot remember when was the last time I stuck to a resolution I made, whether it was to start preparing for GMAT and CAT (I make a new resolution on this pretty much everyday!), or to take a course to boost my skill set, or even hitting the gym! There always seemed to be something to look forward to which made me continuously postpone my plans -- the Mahabaleshwar trip, the Goa trip, the endless movies and serials I've watched over the months, weekends hanging out with friends etc. Now, with no more major outings in the foreseeable future, and with the serials I follow wrapping up their latest season, I think it's about time I seriously get down to business and start my preparations!! Movies could be a problem, with a host of films set to hit the silver screen now that the producers' strike is over, but I'll work my way around it hopefully.

It's BAU (Business As Usual) at work....although it is indeed sad to see so many good friends leave the company in pursuit of a brighter career - Anupam (will miss all the games of TT we've played over the months, and of course all the "shots" we've shared!), Nipun (always brought out the fun element in our group and has been part of the best memories of batch 3 in the last 10 months, really sad to see you go bro!) and Liana (one of the hottest chicks in our office whose amazing wit and spontaneity will be sorely missed). I wish them all the very best in their respective careers, and a prosperous and fun-filled life ahead.

Hearty congratulations to Kavita on her wedding, and a big thank-you for having us over to share the joy! It really was a fantastic day yesterday, getting together with the guys from college and making the trip down to Satara. A lot of great moments and memories from the trip - Sanjay's "30th ko delivery hai" remark still has us roaring with laughter!! Dude, don't even attempt to take anyone's case, it will definitely backfire on you!! Seeing everyone again was indeed wonderful, and I hope we can get together every now and then and plan an outing (not just plan one, actually go for one!!). On another note, it is so weird seeing people getting married at such a young age, before they've had any time to settle into their career! I mean, if the timing of Deepika's marriage last year wasn't enough, just yesterday I came to know that one of my juniors in college got married during her Preparatory Leave for her exams, even before she had passed out of engineering! I guess that tradition of early marriages is here to stay in society for a long time.

I guess that's it for now....btw I wanted to mention that appearances on Orkut henceforth would be extremely rare....I'm full-on into Facebook now!! FB rules hands down! I urge everyone who is yet to join FB, to do so asap, and enjoy! The applications and games on FB are really awesome and blow away anything Orkut has to offer. No wonder Google is on the backfoot in the social-networking domain, and has resorted to the soon-to-launch Google Wave to win back their customers. Anyway, until the next..
