Caution : I don't have a habit to write, so it will be one of the most boring blogs to read :-)
Everybody here has shared their interests, and there will be many having the common interests like same choice of music, fan of same hero or fans of same sport. I will be more than happy if somebody shares one of my interests : I am a fan of Mohd Rafi. I have a great collection of his songs, around 3500 songs sung by him. Also, in general I like the music more golden, more vintage (read : older) than that is played by FM channels. They generally stick with the great Kishoreda, but we hardly get to listen to some of the great numbers by Rafi, Lata, Asha, Geeta Dutt, Hemant Kumar etc etc. So, I will be pleased to find some fan of golden oldies. :crazy:
Talking of other interests, I am a great fan of tennis, the one who has never held the racket in his hand. :-) I like beauty of this game, and this is the only game which has Roger Federer in it :-P.
And talking of non-interests, I have no interest in IM :-)
About my childhood days, I come from a small city of Baramati (famous for Sharad Pawar). Completed my education till 12th there and managed decent marks - 86 and 93 % in SSC and HSC. Then, I completed my mechanical engineering from VIT, Pune. (I bet u mistook VIT for Vellore Inst of Tech, but surely its as famous in Pune) And then, followed the crowd to get into IT. Since then I am in IBM, working in Mainframe technologies.
The best part of my work was not the quality of work, but me moving to Bangalore for a year. There I discovered my second love : Andhra Meals :-P. The first being already discovered in the college : Idli/Medu Wada Sambhar :-)
Also, I became a fan of a language which I have not yet learnt, Thamizh :-). And with that language, came the love for Superstar Rajinikanth :-D . If I learn that language, it will be mostly because of Thalaiva, with Ilayathalapathy, Vijaykanth and T Rajendran filling the remaining gap in commitment :-P
Here is where I saw people dying to crack CAT and even I thought of taking it. More than desperation for MBA, the enjoyment in studying for CAT got me through. Scored decent enough in all the exams and got into SP at last.
But, I have an inferiority complex now, after seeing profiles of some of my batchmates. I am one of those guy who have done nothing apart from curriculum in their life. Just CAT and experience has got me through.
Lastly, looking forward to meet all you guys and gals in SP and hoping for such an enjoyment which will be cherished for life.
