smiles all around...

Something very special happened with me few days back and it was like dream coming true.I got selected in Robert Bosch Engineering and Business solutions as Associate Software Engineer.Now I am strong believer of the saying "God have a special plan for everyone" and Bosch was the special plan for me.
November 5th was my joining date and I was pretty excited for my first day in Corporate life.Nowadays we are having a training program which will be of 2 months and then I will be getting my desk. These starting days are really turning out to be memorable and wonderful. Its all about interacting with different people and knowing them.Most of time we are involved in activities which finally gives us an understanding for working in team with full commitment and passion.Its really very surprising to see that just in some 10 days, we all feel so much comfortable with each other and have a very friendly environment.

Hi...I am still alive!!

Hello Everyone..

I was waiting for so long to write the last post for this blog.My idea was to write the last one after getting into a new life but frankly speaking things are not so clear right now and still there will be some time before you see that last post.

My so called project semester i.e the last semester was over in May 2009 but my final goodbye to manipal was on July 10Th as I had to complete one project in Manipal Dot Net.When I left manipal I was in pretty good situation as I thought I was very good in NTPC interview and also I was expecting something positive from University of Leicester application.

But the worst wait I have ever experienced was waiting for NTPC result. It was expected to come in first week of August but it was declared on Sept 3rd. Since that day the so called upside down started. All a sudden, the doors which I was expecting to welcome me were closed.I couldn't clear the NTPC interview, University of Leicester sent me long mail making me understand that there is some visa problem with this Blended Course and the person whom I thought as Guru in all these four years made me realised I am coming back to him just because I failed everywhere else. I still have the same respect for him as his words gave me strength to move on and broadened my horizons.

After having two job offers from college you cant really expect such a situation I am into.I came to Bangalore and will be so thankful to four people through out my life for helping me in this time. Right now I am looking for some opportunities so that It will enhance my technical skills till I get my joining. Till now there is no success but as my Dad use to say "you never know, it might be on its way to you".

Still Smiling

Just an update

Some days back one of my friend while chatting said "you are having a very good last semester", "yes it is" I replied. I have already started my fourth project in Manipal Dot Net. It all started with correcting the Images coming from a Fish Eye lenses and now We are not only able to correct the images but can also Stitch Two and Three images from Fish Eye lenses and produce a Streaming Panoramic View.The journey at Manipal Dot Net has been very exciting till now. There has been some tense moments but that's part of life.Now my probably last project is to stitch Four images coming from the Fish Eye lenses and I am working hard to get it working before I finally leave Manipal.Since sufficient work has been completed we presented our paper in one more national level conference and bagged 1st prize yet again. So this was all from my work.

Liverpool had a tough exit in Champions league and even with Arsenal in EPL they played draw, hence making things more difficult to fulfill the dream of coming on top in English Premier league.I just hope Arsenal play the same way with Man United as they played with Liverpool, I too hope some resistance coming up from Man City against Man United. These two matches can change the equations and help Liverpool come at top.

Just saw the date on my Comp and it said 1st May, that quickly reminded me that Aps and Anubhav are gonna leave in some 20 days to home.This is not the usual holiday break this time, but they will be leaving Manipal forever.It will be tough leaving the people you were together for all four years, but that's how life goes.I am feeling like enjoying these 20 days to the fullest with these guys, don't know when we will meet again.

So this was how life moving at my end and I will be quite busy through out this month with the project and meeting many of my friends as they all are coming for their final presentation. Oh I totally forgot to mention, even I have got my final presentation on 21st May.
That's all from me.

Memories...

The life is pretty smooth these day with lots of good memories.First time in four years We(me Ashish and Rama)presented a paper on the work we are doing in Manipal Dot Net and bagged first prize.By the way prize money disappointed us but still getting the first prize raised our confidence for upcoming conferences.

Liverpool is doing so well from past few weeks, the other reason for my happiness.Eleven goals in 3 matches that's great, the thrashing of Man United(4-1) in Old Trafford was one of the amazing moments in the history of Liverpool football club.The yesterday's match against Fulham was awesome, the ball just kept on hitting the wood until Yossi Benayoun made a lightening strike into the nets in 92nd minute. I think first time ever I jumped and punched the air in all my years of watching a football match.Its a great going for the English Premier League and I hope Steevan Gerrard will be lifting up the cup.Also I got Jamie Carragher's autobiography, I am just looking to make some time to read about one of the best defender in world's football.

Few days back Sagar made a visit to Manipal (he is doing his Internship in Hyderabad), those two days which we spent with him was just like refreshing all the old memories when we all were together.We( me Aps and Anubhav) made special arrangements(mentioning might raise some of eyebrows so have to avoid them) for him.We all missed Jayant though as he couldn't make up the plan due to his Chess tournament in Delhi.

Also nowadays I am appearing so many PSU's exams. It's really tiring to go to Bangalore in every two weeks or so. Results are yet to come so fingers crossed till then. There are very few seats in these exams so its very difficult to even say how my exam went.As college is about to over, the joining dates always keeps on disturbing your brain cells,Everyday I check my placement community hoping for the Jindal's joining but no luck till now.

As I have mentioned everything so why not about Yashi. Had some very furious fight with her in past few weeks but we both didn't took more that two hours in resolving them.After every fight, I felt my love for her has increased a lot and also realized how much important she is in my life. Its testing time for both of us and we both feel our love is getting more matured by every second we are spending with each other.

This was all about from my side. After posting any new post every time I feel that I will be regular(my definition of regular is 1 post per month) but that's really not happening, may be because I don't have much to say.

sad I am...

The final semester of my college life has started. As per our college rules it's a project semester(that means no exams), I am doing my final year project in MDN. All these three years we use to feel we will enjoy a lot in the final semester but its getting worse for me.
For me its getting so hectic, I have started waiting for the week ends.Its like I go to the company at 10 and its usually gets 10 when I come back. Now Aps and Anubhav has also stopped asking me about the dinner.Its sometimes frustrating too as I am feeling today from evening. After coming from home I planned to give some time for preparing for the Off campus but when I come back to room from MDN I feel so tired that I dont even dare to see those books.Every night I say to myself that I will start it tomorrow and that tomorrow is yet to come.
Even these days whenever I get call from parents or friends I am struck with some work so couldn't even talk to them nicely.I am afraid Is this way life gonna be after six months when I join my company or it be more worse.Lets see how it goes.
For now Its Sunday tomorrow so want to have a real break and I hope I will be with full of energy by monday.
Bbye...

Farewell



This is the one thing which happened for the first time in my life.I never had been into farewell celebrations(being in kota for 12th class where you don't even attend a single class so how can you expect farewell).The last two days were all about photo shoots and farewell party.Now I realized that the four years stay of mine in Manipal is to its end.
Yesterday it was our photo shoot,where you can find every guy in formals and girls in Saari.After seeing girls the first thing came to my mind was Are these the same girls with whoom I studied for four years,everyone of them was looking so pretty.Then the endless session of photo shoot started.You just keep on getting into some group or other and get your photo clicked.The groups itself were so funny like back benches group,lab partners group, five six seven pointers group and the funniest was TCS rejected group. It was great fun all together but how a photo shoot can end up without booze. Thanks to our batch mate Anna who is also DJ in the famous disco "purple ace" who arranged a grand party for all of us there.Then started a party which was the last of its kind,everyone was busy dancing,drinking but there was always a sad part of having it for the last time.Everyone knew the fact that everyone will going to different directions after the college and might just have a "HI,Whats up" like meetings on orkut or g talk.
Then today it was ALVIDA 05-09 farewell party by our juniors,it was bit formal with teachers giving the last piece of advice.Listening all of them was like just having a some kind of video streaming of the time attending their classes in my brain cells.It was a cultural program accomplished by dinner.
The moment I started writing this post a lot of things started coming to my mind right from the first day of my college till today.The journey so far in manipal is one of the greatest thing happened in my life.This place gave me so many wonderful memories which I surely gonna cherish through out my life.

Testing times...


It happens so often when people start giving you suggestions and you just standing in middle of all and getting more and more confused.That's what happening with me from last few days.The worst part is that someone come to you and suggest you something, now you are just thinking over it and by the time you get another one which totally contradict with the previous one.Thats how the life is moving nowadays, things are appearing to be quite difficult in the final year.Hope for getting it better in coming days.
