Freedom....

How does one feel when come across such a delightful word in English ? It has brought tears to people who waited for that...whether in case of independence as in case of our motherland India or relief as in most cases be it completion of examination, getting into hostel (away from family shackles), or as in any other case left to pure interpretation of any human brain.

I felt relieved today. Why ? I got freedom from boredom. Having been home for close to two months not doing much, today, I finally got into a place which I dreamed of not too long ago. It was always our dream during our Master's days to get into abode of computer networking company and that too the pioneer in providing networking equipment and network management for internet. Yes, I am talking about Cisco. My dream came true. I started working for Cisco as a software engineer today. Looking forward to having a good career ahead.

Rejuvenate..

wow...I feel terrific as I write this piece. I have a couple reasons to feel so.

First of all, I had a wonderful dinner...kind of full and not so much to do with cholesterol causing food...but some south Indian delicacy called Shavige bhath (of course, naaney maaDidhu). The second reason being my laptop's recovery. The laptop was sick with lot of cholesterol up its nerves and heart/brain or whatever. I had to clean and I got rid of lot of non-sense that was not making sense at all being there. Lot of software (heck I will go re-install if I want them, ever) was removed and this guy feels lot healthy. His "Performance" is better now. ;-)

You know how I am feeling today becasue of above reasons ? Feeling like my examination is over, and I had my hair cut and had a shower with cool menthol shampoo, clean shaven and riding my hero honda in gandhibazaar at 7.30 AM on a beautiful blue-sky December day.

Terrible...

What a terrible thing happened in Virginia Tech today. That school is an abode for valuable education. And shooting in such a place is a disgusting thing to happen for humankind. People go to school/college to learn and be good to soceity. But, this one guy who lost his head has gone on a rampage to kill 20+ innocent people. Its just devastating. Sorry to know that.

Time's moving....but how long do I need to wait ?

Well,....the last time I wrote something, time was moving very slow. Trust me, I am not a person who gets into a chat-room and spend long time. But I have been doing that lately...and you will have to believe that I spent over five hours in gmail chat on friday.

Today, it is lot better. We have a new guest who has graciously accepted to be with us from now on. All I can give you a hint about our guest is she has a 27" waistline and her name is "Magna". She goes blah-blah-blah all the time until one of us ask her to shut up. She was with another guy for sometime and he found a new friend for himself and had to ditch Magna. Man...She ain't no goddamn bad....she is good, in fact very good. Perhaps, the other guy just got bored with her. Magna has a friend of her own - "Soni". This little Soni has the ability to change five dresses at a time. We are yet to check that baby out. (We just wanted Magna, but that guy gave Soni free)
:-)

Alright, if my wife sees this she's gonna feel bad about me. We don't have no girls at home. If you haven't figured out yet, Magna is our new 27" Magnavox television. And Soni is the DVD Player having a 5 CD changer capacity. My friend bought this from craigslist reference.

We (read I, cuz my friend goes to work and I stay home) have had some really good time since we got this TV. I watched one of my favs "Blue Streak". Oh...whatta way to start your sunday off. And then, I have been watching some good sitcoms like Steve Harvey show, Home Improvement, Yes Dear, King of Queens, Seinfeld, and Friends. Oh....this takes my memory a long way to end of 2003 and early 2004 in Philadelphia. I bet my ass that was the best time of my life.

Well, if my sister reads this....she'd say -- "Oh no....this guy's gonna tell this new story of his a zillion times, just the way he has told me that Philly stuff". And if mom comes to know I have been watching TV, she's gonna feel bad. She will tell..."Oh my dear son, you did not go there to watch TV". Oh....what the heck....I ain't gonna tell this story to anyone. I will just give people my new address on blogspot. :P

In spite of having some good time with TV, I am wondering how long will it take before I actually get into doing some good networking stuff. I have done all I can from my side. Now, people who knows rules and regulations, law and order, should get things moving. They have been doing their best, but still it is a matter of time and it is frustrating to be home. I just feel things will fall into place and I will be active very soon.

Experimentation!!

This is a good platform to put my thoughts. I found this from a friend of mine. Good thing is one can put thoughts and share with anyone. Or you can just put in lotta krap to vent your feelings out. I am not sure how long this is going to be successful. I am not sure whether I will again write in this. But, I am just hopeful this will continue for long time to come.

Well, let me start by introducing myself to anyone who get into this "blog"spot. I am from Bangalore, an engineer by profession. Have been in and out of US in the past few years. Currently in US, but thoughts are in Bangalore.

Here I have been sitting at my friend's place (April 11, 2007), having free internet and boredom before I resume my actual work in few days/weeks, staring at a cloudy North Carolina sky (After careful review of the underlined, I felt there is some grammatical mistake. Not sure. Since this is my first blog article, I'd leave it that way. Anyway, idu nanna aatma santoshakkagi...allva ?)and watching it drizzle here and there. Somehow, do not have mood to go have my lunch, but feeling a little hungry. Perhaps, I should go and have something. Ajji always said " Never starve, eat something. Only then your brain works".

Let me scrap more as I eat something.

It has been a kind of vacation for me the past two months. I left my upward-growth job in Bangalore and came here to the US to pursue some of my dreams. These dreams take a long time to fulfill, but would like to complete them and return to namma bengaLoooru.
