Interview

Well I have always had nervous anxieties before interview all the time. My confidence takes a nosedive on the eve of the interview.Well its gonna be same for this time.

What?? I did not have any interview till yesterday nor did I apply in any other company. So where the f**k this interview came from ?

Well I am the only person working on the linux module for the company. They are trying to get another person for the job so the the process can speed up. I was happy to hear that. But how the f**k was I suppose to know that they would ask me to interview the candidate. I don't see myself as experienced enough to interview another engineer. What if the person is more qualified and highly experienced ? What if he rips me apart ?

God, I need to study for interview, even if I am the one taking it. Life is kinda harsh all around.

Of crushes and all..........

I reserve few minutes everyday to read scrapbooks of some of my female friends. Before ppl judge me, I just do it to read some really funny friendship messages this gals get. Sometimes it downright hilarious. I know its must be really annoying for gals.I have read some gals cribbing about it in their blog and justifiably so [Link].

I digress. The reason for this post is not to laugh at messages written by some weirdos. I had a huge crush on one gal in college. I would try to act funny around her. Every guy has his strength some are macho, some are sport person, some are intelligent and some are rich.I was none of that so I thought being funny was my thing. ( I know thats lame :( ). I would crack jokes as soon I get around her. Couple of semester later, she perceived me as a funny guy who is never serious in life and wouldn't want to hang around me. What a shame. *sobs*.

However I was smitten by her till I came to USA ( thats one and half year after my bachelor's degree). Its during this time, I use send silly messages to her. I used to send her silly forwards and offline messages. I now equate these messages to "I want to make Friendship with you" messages.I would ask her what is she doing? Wish her best of luck repeatedly for exams. Being the nice gal that she is , she would painfully respond to all my messages. But eventually she stopped replying.Well my obsession to desperately stay in touch continued for a while and then things snapped back to normal one fine day. Last stupid message I sent her was on December 2005.Its amazing that although I am terrible with remembering dates and bday's , I always remember her bday couple of days in advance. Although now I just message her a simple "Happy birthday !!".

So even now when I sometimes see a guy trying to befriend a gal via some social networking website, it puts a smile on my face. I am not justifying them but somewhere I can connect with them. Although I would never write some stupid message to some unknown girl. ( I feel I am too old for that *sobs* ).

However, today through this blog I want to thank that gal for being so patient around idiot like me. Hope you have a great life ahead.

To you all you weirdos who want to make friendship ( I was a weirdo, not anymore :D ) , go out and seek your women instead of cowardly sending here messages via internet. It works better.

Finally did it.

Moved to blogger from yahoo 360. Yahoo 360 wasn't bad either , its just that i love blogger's simple look and feel . More later.

Fresher's Party 2007

Attended the customary Fresher's Party last Saturday.Few things that came to mind.

1>It was better organized than Independence day function.I agree that arranging the Fresher's party is much easier to organize than Independence day, becoz on I day we need to follow some protocol to maintain the decorum for the occasion.

2> The organizing team is coming together. But as it is the small event lot of responsibilities have been taken on by one person only.

3> Quality and not quantity of attendees matter for the event. Charging a small amount of fees makes sure that most of the idiots do not attend it. I was glad to see that.

4>Since most idiots were not part of the crowd , partly lasted much longer than I expected.

5>No matter how much you yell, when bunch of Indian students get together they will talk loudly and will never listen to an Indian speaker. We need some phirangi to get their attention.
Its sad.

6> Its fun to watch from sidelines, after being in thick of action for a while. Good part is you can see the subtle details that go into the preparation of an event , that most of the ppl in audience are blissfully unaware of.

7> There were couple of good dancers in freshers but sadly they did not come forward to do a fun dance number even after repeated email requests from organizers.

8>The loyalist base of organization is increasing.Plenty of people willing to come forward.

9>This might be my last Fresher's party. F***k I am getting old.

10>Aside from party, new mails coming in the groups mailing list are quite refreshing to read.

11>Lastly, I cannot tell them all this personally becoz most of the time I cannot keep a straight face and they might end up thinking that I am making fun of them.

Power to new guys( and gals , I ain't sexist) at the helm.
