Bidding adieu to 2006

Well, the year has got a mixed response to me. I was on high and lows both in terms of career and personal life, but the best part is that my doggedness remained remained in tact; i handled most of the things with cool and composure. There were almost no instaces where i lost my cool and raised my temper level. My promise to keep abey from thoughts of love and girls is definitely one of the most determined efforts i have put. Well but there was some sort of shake up inthe last quarter of yr in terms of personal life, it didnt matter atall cos i was never serious abt that; i leaved it for the time to decide and it got decided and the chapter got closed.


The month of January started with me celebrating new yr at home. Was very happy with the way term 2 shaped up and the grades i was getting. Term 3 was rather repeating of the same things i did last yr, but here were changes in courses and the profs who took the courses. Manfest Party rocked. I had experienced the best music of a DJ during that time.

February was routine academic thing ..... quiet uneventful (cos i couldnt recall) nothing happened. No valentines day either .... cos we had mid terms during that time.

Then came March . My summers at IBM was confirmed and i felt very happy abt that. the best part was that my Summer internship is in Hyderabad. i was given a project on Dashboards. and end terms started. i had horror experience with one course - Advanced Data Analysis. cos thr was s much to read and i didnt read even once. tried to manage with the slides of class. The hoorible course QAM III which had been alien to many of us; is shielded with a planned preperation and i was cofident of falling in the top quartile of the class.

April first week, I experienced my first flight experience. cos my summers company is paying for that. [:)]. Well my first flight was delayed!!! i had my worst day then. delay of Lucknow to
Delhi bound flight has made me even miss my Delhi-Hyderabad flight. any ways its a good learning experience as how to manage things. after a lot of confrontation with the air shara guys at the IGI airport after payment of additional money we r allowed to board alternative flight in the night. in 1 day we roamed ard in delhi, watched a move, did sum window shopping.

Back to Hyderabad, it feels nice to b at home for 2 months and also having fun with bose after 2 yrs. Well i dedicated my summers experience in a entire post . so i dont wanna elobrate much here.

May was also nothing much to mention apart from the jobless roaming inside office at IBM. and daily parties continued.

June.. gave my final presentation to IBM along with my report and got an excellent feed back from most of them. and bac to college .. entered second yr.

July.. hmm started to get in touch with old lost friends. spent loads of time on chat with them. mid terms happened for fourth term. Bought an IBM Thinkpad laptop.

August. had one of the horrible experience of getting the lowest in Stratman course. the lowest i hav ever scored in whole of my student life.... made a determined effort to fight bac in end term. term 4 was literally nothing much to do. all chill courses. except this core course starategic management.

September. went home for term break, celebrated my bday at home with my folks. Bought a Canon 7.2 MP Digicam. Dad was crazy abt the cam that he doesnt want to depart from it. Bac college. term 5 starts..... felt lil load as i had 4 important courses.

October.... i topped first time in a course and also the lowest in another course at IIM. Prolly i created the history in an IIM that a student got both A+ and a F grade in another course... felt little unstable with my F. as i failed agin in a course. but became vengeful.

November... started with arguing with my stratman prof. and it was a futile thing i did. i chuccked him off my thought. Finally every other guy in campus taged him as " The real pain in the ass", " All pain no gain" etc. Gave NCFM certification exam and cleared in securitiews module.

December came and end terms went for term 5. Got a long term break and had a gr8 time bac at home. started watching Friends. started liking it. watched it day and nite, became a fanatic. Term 6 was rather nothin much to do. Feeling too lazy to move my ass.

Well i wasnt able to recall how fast the days hav gone, i couldnt even remember most of the things.

This year i got in touch with lot of my intermediate classmates who r all doctors (most of them) after a break almost 8 years. It feels nice to cherish the things we did during our college days. Well coming bac to the main subject here, the second half of the yr was spent chatting online mostly with my long lost friends.

donno how to end this ......... just waiting for the party tonite to welcome the most important year in terms of career to me. Hoping that this new yr wd bring a lot of joy and happiness and success to each and every one of us. adios! Happy New Year
Welcome 2007, tata 2006
