Bangalore lessons

It's been sometime since I blogged.So much happened in between the prev post and the present one! In a breeze, i had my convocation at NITC with Dr. APJ Kalam as chief guest, converted my internship to full time, had a good diwali @ Blore(could not witness the saturday nite fireworks show since I was in Calicut) and lots more.
After coming here to Bangalore, I have learnt a few things:
1. Bangalore sleeps early and gets up early(unlike popular opinion of non-Bloreans).
2. Nitt lingo (chaaaat,kela n the likes)
3. what to look for in a pg.
4. some telugu words(note:not kannada, but telugu)
5. how pan is not bad for health and not all pan contains hashish and other drugs.
6. how tickets need to be booked on the 1st day of reservation, even 2 months before the D-day can get you in a WL-169 status.
7. how the world is basically a small place
8. Girl company can be sooo much fun/risky..it's easier for a girl to walk with a guy than with a girl :P
9. how dogs can be such loyal friends,keep you company all the way till the main road :)
10. 2 pitchers of beer can b too much during lunch time!(just so u know, i hate beer due to the sour taste and hence do not drink it)
Friends and mutual friends just keep increasing every weekend...do not get bored during my stay at bangalore...the vkend company is pretty entertaining i must say.
However, there's something I miss when I look back... even after having the best time ever I could hope for in Bangalore, I realise dat I miss college, I miss our LH, some of us are here in Bangalore, occassionally meet up too :), but its not like those nights in college..ahh the college days!
I do not know if ppl have noticed, but once we leave school/college there are some people whom we might not have talked much with during those days, but after leaving, we tend to become good friends!..i mn extremely gud friends! :) (read:kappu,preeti)
P.S: I stay near a golf park and some DJ night is going on here now...miss clg musical nites :(, an October Beerfest is also goin on in Blore,pretty cheap for 300 bucks and unlimited beer with awesome DJ. guess B'lore is rightly called the Pub city of India.

P.P.S: Yours truly takes back her 1st point, Bangalore does NOT sleep early and does NOT get up early. It's Domlur and Domlur ONLY!! This is after Yours truly witnessed some really enthu and wild show @ Blore few days after writing her post.

The Third Phase

Hi folks! It's been quite a long,long time. Have been spending the past few months getting adjusted to a new place,new surrounding and the beginning of a third phase.
Firstly, the place... Bangalore! I have no comments except that this place is a bit hyped up. I kind of started liking "namma bengalooru" for what it is, the people, the places and the radio(lol). If you have friends here, this place is just great. You can always come up with some new and exciting way to spend the weekends.
The place where i stay is kinda close to my office, 15 minutes walk. My school friend also stays very close by...just hop over to her place when I'm really bored.
I am interning with Yahoo right now, been almost 3 months. This place is simply awesome! They have almost everything an employee can ask for, including cozy beds to sleep when u want to take an afternoon nap and unlimited sick leave. It's a great place to work. Colleagues are also very helpful and FUN :)

Every week here has been crests and troughs..some weekends are so packed and others are almost absolutely nothing to do. Met college folks, saw a few movies, went for a party, went back home when I had absolutely nothing else to do ;). Had a bike ride at awesome speed in an extremely cool bike...was so blinded did nt even bother to check out the bike.absolutely sure its better than a pulsar.
chal folks
signing off for now
my first post from Yahoo... :)

P.S:Wish my friends would get a hayabusa

The end of chapter TWO

So many things have happened in the past few months...it was like a hurricane..moving at lightning speed...the gud,the bad and the ugly :-). So now I'm blogging about the close of chapter TWO in my life..the life @ NITC..the college life..almost the best 4 yrs of my life. The last few days were memorable...celebrated my 1st and last birthday in LH and it was the last midnight birthday party in LH of the 05-09 girls batch @ NITC...one rocking batch with the fewest memos possible :P
We had procession,csea farewell,branch treat @ sea queen..and sandwiched between all this was the running around for the "no dues certificate"...loadz n loadz of stuff. It was quite fast...a blur was what the last few days were.
So now comes a new beginning(yea yea..:P)...a different world, no matter how much i want to still cling to chapter TWO...we have to stride to chapter THREE in our lives...uncertain of wat lies ahead in store for us...
PS:spending a good vac @ auh meeting old frnds, tweeting and facebooking(i know there's no such term..but heck..who cares!!)

world getting way too high tech

Just the other day, i read a post that would definitely evoke different sentiments in different people...chk it out:
prodigy kid

It's about a 9 yr old kid writing iphone applications :O.. Must be a child prodigy. Anyways we are 21 yr olds copying codes for lab assignments. That's okay..in my opinion, the guy(9 yr old) is missing out on a lot of things that normal 9 yr olds do...

"What you focus on decides what you miss". It's all a matter of choice and of course the amount of effort varies depending on what we focus.

Seriously, I'm wondering--> can a 9 yr old be passionate about programming??!

Developing such an awesome software is definitely mind blowing...frankly the kind of stuff he has done..I'm sure most of us would not even be able to imagine coding for it...even if he was an 18 yr old!
