white board art...

1) If you look at the bigger picture...u'l notice the word "PEACE" among the vile things apparent.

2) My (perhaps clichéd)trademark symbol which frnz and lecturers would recognize seeing on my desk or the back of my books...or perhaps every imaginable place u've seen me at :P

3) The Davidoffs proudly reading "Smokers die younger" and the pin up reads, "Smoking may be injurious to health but u gotta admit..the art on the boxes are creative!"..in all towards a no smoking campaign :)

I like the idea of personalizing your work place, tends to make you squeeze out the creative juices from within and is a great way to express your identity and your beliefs. Although you cannot carry your entire bedroom to make you feel home at work, you can pin up few photos, place toys or for that matter place anything which could calm your senses when you are on the verge of loosing your mind towards a hot fix or if your manager feels you've not done anything extraordinary when u discovered Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons(PAHs) in a cloud of interstellar gas and dust near the center of some galaxy trillions of light years away.....pah, what does he know...Rrr...

a walk to remember....

Cannot yet believe that i am actually working and spending my own cash now! The dreams you have as a kid to be a doc or a pilot or a dare devil drag racer has now come to me being a Software Engineer in an IT company. Am i satisfied u ask...well not as yet. Ive come to this point where my folks at home are proud of me for what i am until now but then i`m yet to prove anything. A new phase to my journey of life has just begun...

The last four years of engineering have been very memorable for me, the world to me seems a lot different than how i used to look and be a part of it. Started with a little fear and anxiety of what was to come of the next 4 years. Expected a 4 long centuries ahead, yet today it all seems to have ended in a 4 minute dream. A dream of which i can remember almost every incident, the joy it bought me and yes, moments of pain too.
My friends have added most of the color to this dream of mine, i'm glad i had some good company while it lasted and a wicked smile we share when we bump into each other thinking of our frivolous acts back then.

Scenes which flash to my mind as i write this post are my first day at coll, the hour before internals on the coll terrace learnin up from the wiz kid or lookin up for answers of leaked question papers:), my buddy and i teaming up for those techie contests, the excursions every semester which left us mesmerized for days after, the good times with the folks of the fashion team and em sporting my tribal and abstract tattoos, lunch hour conversations and the pranks we pulled off sitting at the last bench, our first conversation and the walk down the pathway with her, those amazing 2 years of helping around during the fest and the final one where i was one of those responsible for making it happen, standing for an endless time at the balcony staring blankly at the life around, moments spent with her and of never ending conversations, who saw and bought out the better of me, the day of my first interview, sitting beside my mom who waited anxiously for nights at the hospital for some words of hope from the doctors, the unwished-for dreadful night, my aunt's warm hug at the airport, the weekend evening walk with ol buddies, the outburst of granma when the overloaded server decided to show that i was finally done with engineering...

I can still remember sitting beside my dad on the first day at coll, I wouldn't know how proud he was of me, the dreams he had for me and my sister...although i can still feel his warm hand on my shoulder, as i sit alone thinking and intimidated of the world passing by, to do what he would've done for my sis, to be by my mom's side and to stand up and face the world everyday and make my stand...to be a better person, to make him proud.
This post is also to thank you for making this world a beautiful place to me, to give me a reason to live for...i will forever be glad that you are a part of my life.
thank you.. :)
