Musings about life

Hello!

I am posting after a long time.

Every now and then I have views popping up to few hundreds per week. I still doubt if the 'viewers' read the stuff here. Whatever you are about to read in this post, please bear with me. I am going to expel all my feelings accumulated ever since I got placed in that 'mass recruiter' named Cognizant technology solutions.

If you are mature enough, this thought must have kindled in your mind at some point: "What is the purpose behind all this struggle?". Sorry for reminding, I do not mean to disturb your feelings. Struggle can be at college, workplace, home or in relationships. Now I will share my insights about life and well being.

Ego
We all have our ego, right at the center of our body i.e at center of mass (b/w chest and abdomen). At this position a person is believed to be in equilibrium. If he/she is disturbed/depressed ego sinks to bottom i.e. towards feet and rises up to head if he/she is haughty/proud.

Happiness is a different aspect. It leads to a brighter ego i.e. ego shines more in a happier person. All conflicts in this world are intimately related to status of ego. Life is all about maintaining equilibrium as well as brightness of ego.

Life and Purpose

"No pain, no gain"

This is what I believe as the ultimate truth. Success needs hard work, victory needs sacrifices. Nothing is free in this world. You get for what you pay.

Life is all about purpose. One purpose. 

That is it!

Just another post

Hello!

As mentioned above this is 'just another post' to ruminate on recent happenings.

Things are not going fine...
Life is becoming unfair...

When all those computer science graduates are turning into hotcakes of
the market, I am lead into identity crisis i.e. not sure what I am
going to become in future. Yes, I accept making computer do your
bidding is today's need but we are forgetting the basics. Every now
and then I get intimidated as when I get a recruiting company of my
choice.

Forget recruitment... lets talk about my bygone wish of getting into
IISc/IIT i.e. GATE, I have close to five months left which also
include the semester final exams and other obligatory stuff like lab
work, mini-project and assignments. How much did I progress in these
two months? Well, Just attending weekend classes and glancing
glossaries isn't helping me cope with the huge syllabus.

I have many things in my mind and not able to do them at all.
Thanks to my new smartphone. Now its easier for a friend to
disturb me (and even for me to get so).

I promised you that the next post would only surface after first month
of 2017. Now I send a distress signal en route my destination(which
still stays unknown).

Anouncement: No posts for a while

Dear Readers

I would like to ignore this blog for a while as I am preoccupied with other works to which I give more priority. No posts will be published till the first week of February, 2017. All events that will happen meanwhile will be shared later.

Thank you for visiting this site and I am ending this post by sharing a video which I often watch for some inspiration.

New year bash!

Hey!

Lately I found this advertisement in a reputed newspaper a week prior the start of new year:

Its showing a telugu movie star called 'DSP'. That means Digital Signal Processing to me and to someone not aware of this guy, it means he is probably going to take classes on this subject at
Gachibowli stadium in Hyderabad. That is funny!

I know I am posting this too late to wish you a very happy new year. I was engaged with exams and laziness for a week(they don't mix well). Now that I have three more to write and there is a lot more to experience this semester like
*Tight schedule
*Minor project
*GATE preparation
*Cold nights
*Pillow assisted sleep(Yes, I bought one)
*No Android phone & WhatsApp


I never made a new year resolution before. This year I made three
*Ordered behaviour
*Delayed gratification
*Avoid comfort zone

I feel these three will make this year surely a great one. First let me share how I started the year.

It was my cousin's wedding on 1st January(nice date to have wedding anniversary) and we all cousins cut a cake at strike of midnight. We murdered(stabbed it many times) the cake and few faces even got cream-smeared.

Its been two years since I deleted my Facebook account and Macbook Abhisek today made me feel good in LinkedIn(started using six months ago). He became the first person to endorse my skills and recommend me by saying this:

"One of the most calmest and the patient person I've ever worked with. I don't think I've met anyone more able than him when it comes to electronics and soldering. He is always my electronics guy. "

I felt great reading these words in a email today evening. Thank you Abhisek! You can have a look at my LinkedIn profile here.

Last week I've decided to do away with my Android phone as its tending to go crazy at times. It switches off without my notice and even enters command mode out of blue. This may even go to the extent of self-destruction someday in my pocket. So I have planned a fitting 'goodbye' for it this week. Kritin, Biswadip* and myself will dissect it for technical knowledge purpose. Hah :-D I will not forget to cover the autopsy here.

This is the notice released by my college regarding the upcoming even semester I was talking about:

You can conceive how hard it is for someone used to having lot of free time to blog his heart(sarcastic mention..... I know)

Now it is time for some random pictures:

* = I never mentioned Biswadip before. I will focus a post on him sometime later.

That's all
