Ding Ding (Thrice). My usually dormant gtalk springs to life and 3 windows pop out waking me up


Manasa: hey Mani .. atleast you post on the blog na..it feels so stupid to see just my posts there :(


Arpit: hey

Mani: yo yo

Arpit: its time u start bloggin ! on OUR BLOG !!


Varun: showered all my patience & penned down a blog

yessssssssssss

feel on top of d wrld 4 my achievement


Varun a.k.a DITCHER !!! And I thought there was one other lazy bum like me. So much for friendshipL.


So I check http://spjimrclassof2011.blogspot.com/ once again and -------- YIKES.... one post after the other and that too in a span of 24 hrs.


Come on Mani, Be a man. Write SOMETHING !!


Hi. Hope you are well. Okay, I don’t write much. Rather I don’t write at all and the last piece of my work was the two and a half hour marathon in the Common Admission Test. Well, even that had nothing do with writing. So you can imagine. Rewind more and what looms around vaguely inside this little head is my final paper of the University examinations. That was total vomit on paper so if you are expecting something revolutionary here, I am very sorry. This is just not the right space and can’t even promise to redirect you to one of those inspiring, influential and innovative write ups. WOW. The 3 I’s of writing!! Alright, if you’ve managed to stay awake till now, WOW and THANKS. I really don’t know what else to say.


Arpit: Mani boy

Mani: yea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Arpit: ur profile is still missin

:P

Mani: Im half way thru

:)

Arpit: its pouring over thr!!


As if I didn’t know!! Ok I lied when I said I was half way thru.

Arpit also warned me against posting anything RESUME LIKE, so I will stay away from trying to woo in prospective recruiters here. I promise you won’t come across Career Interests, Tech Skill, Achievements blah blah.


I was this sad, pathetic and lonely kid at school. Stayed away from Acads and hence branded one by teachers and students alike. Never mind my school; I am not proud of it either so we move on.


College life was marginally better. I had to make amends for my disastrous boards hadn’t I and so I thought I would study. Sad and Pathetic. Yet again?? Come on, something is just not right. And study I did, like a total moron. I bagged the best outgoing student award and each one of my friends walked away with bombshells for girlfriends. Only then did I realize what a mess my four years had been. What had I done? Ahhh. I swore to never repeat the same mistake.


Four years of IT education hadn’t gone waste on me. How is that? I landed myself a job in an IT company. Wow. Isn’t that just brilliant!


Reaction amongst family members and relatives – “Papu has got a job in a software company? Another one in the family? Oh no”. Now if you are wondering who Papu is, wonder no more. It’s my pet name and I certainly am not proud to have one that is not even remotely close to my christened name. I guess such things happen only in India


I swore again; No more IT in my life. MBA should help me change industries.


Fate has done it again. MBA, yes, but in what?

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT...

IT again? Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

Oh God, Are you listening?


Alright, enough of all this. In case you still haven’t got a fair idea about who I am after meandering thru my Orkut profile and those wasteful interactions with my humblest self, ahem..You haven’t missed much.


I:-


a) Am fat and more importantly, single. Girlssssssssssssssssssssssss, Hear Hear

b) Love Coffee

c) Have been romancing Manchester United for 9 years now

d) Watch everything on Travel & Living

e) Feel the thrill standing by the door in a fast moving train

f) Am game for any game, any time, any place

g) Don’t miss a show on footer

h) Firmly believe that everything else can wait but the search for cheaper food cannot


If that inspires you to be my partner in crime.. my very humble associate, Welcome aboard. You are about to meet the MOST EXCITING person on the planet
