Now this is what I call an achievement!With just a couple of not-so-interesting (or should I call 'boring') posts I have made people shout at me "Dada, please don't preach!" and thereby justifying the title of my blog.
To quote a very dear friend of mine :
"Abey java pe to sari duniya bakwaas ker leti hai... others pe kuch log hi ker sakte hain.. aur tum unme se ek ho dost. " - I must say he was very polite!
So here I am to preach on "life in general".
I was never more confused in life.Computer Science(supposedly my expertise, after all I am a CS undergrad from IIT) has always left me clueless but then there is this "google search" which has always pulled me out!But of late life has been ruthlessly hurling questions at me at such a rate that I have developed a permanent confused look on my face and people around me have started calling me "Halu"(delirious :P).
This interesting phase of weird questionnaire had started when I was about to graduate out of my college, presaging what was in store for me!
What is your greatest achievement in life?
I faced this on my very first day of job(HR training).
Is it necessary that I have achieved something in my life? Am I not here to achieve something? Cracking IIT or getting this job - would these qualify as achievements, specially when 40 other guys are sitting around me with the same qualifications?
I was stunned!
Are you not from an ICSE school?How come you flunked in GRE verbals?
This is how a friend reacted when he came to know about my low verbal scores in GRE.
Dude...I still don't understand why you need to know the antonym of "pontifical" or draw an analogy with "morass" to get a pass to the US of A. I am of the firm belief that :
"Hey wassup?"
"Doin good...what abt u?"
"Me doing gr8..hehe!"
is all you need to survive there.
Hey you are from IIT! Why here?
This is a common question, my non-IITian colleagues throw at me.
How would I explain it to them that we IITians aren't any freaks of nature; we really don't have wings that we could fly to anywhere we want.It's plain and simple that you have toiled very hard in your college and I have struggled very hard in my IIT and so we both are at the same place![;)]
What are your future plans?
This is the most dreaded of all and is almost invariably asked by every individual self who knows me.
Sometimes I pretend to be carefree by saying that I had slogged a lot for four long years of BTech and now I want a break.But, they knowing my nature can hardly associate "me" with "slogging"!
"I really have no sight of my future and if at all someone is to be blamed for this , it is my myopia which I had picked up at quite an early age!" - hope I gain some sympathy now!![:)]
So guys sing with me :
"Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be."

mast laga
at a moment, i felt you got the right momentum, but you just lost it in the next question.. [:D] don't you think this post is pretty smaller than what it should be? hehe, still very good start i must say!
@harit : thanks!
@matka : i totally agree with u....i think a change in the ordering of the questions could have created a better effect.
just did not want my reader to feel the same hysteria so kept it small[:)]
kya be bidu tu kitna drama create kar raha hai be :)
waise achaa blog hai .. kisse padhane ke liye likha hai .... :)
@nini : aapko kya laagat hai ki khali ghai hi drama kar sakta hai!
b'live me aapke liye hi likha tha ye post[;)]
bhai mere..ye jo future plans aur purpose of life wala question hai.. ye bahut bada question hai.. agar tumhe answer nahi mil raha tha koi baat nahi.. 99% logon ke paas puri zindagi nahi hota hai.. aur unme se bhi 95% kabhi is baarey me sochte bhi nahi hain.. bas jo bhi karo life me.. always have the right reason to do it.. it is the reason that is most important.. not your act... good start by the way... :)
