Career Focus takes a New Meaning...

I am sitting a Starbucks coffee joint close to my place....I have simply fallen in love with this place...Its a beautiful setting... People sitting and having coffee....Christmas carols playing (it is close to Thanksgiving)...Starbucks has given a new meaning to drinking coffee....Just see a young couple walking in-the guy has a crutch , seems to be hurt..the girl(a face worth remembering!!!!!) is helping him walk...the sight brings a smile to my face....a mother with her kids(joyfully playing around), wish I could snap a picture of her playing...A lawyer-client discussing something(the client seems very disturbed - the lawyer looks so caring - reminds me of some hollywood flick ...what was the name...huh...forget it..)

The staff here is all so young..hear that almost all are college students who have to work in order to support themselves and their studies...Wouldn't have to think of such a thing in India....I began working at the age of 22..no worries before that..all things paid for..everything taken care of...Ah..how lucky we all have been!!!!!!

.....The biggest question bugging me right now is "Where do I see myself 5 years down the line?" This is something I have been thinking for sometime now..The undeniable fact(whether we want to hear it or not) is that we are getting older....I have been one of the luckier guys....have received the best education in India...Terrific Schooling followed by a Bachelors degree fron REC(NIT). Academics have been good...the job has been a great learning experience...but the question is "Where do I go from here?"......Recently visited Yale, MIT, Harvard, Columbia and UCONN...to get an answer....The next logical thing for me would be an MBA, no doubt but it requires a BIG investment/committment both in terms of material and time...However, as usual I am again getting ahead of myself...

Anyways, have decided to take things one at a time...First step would be to get a good score on the GMAT...I guess there is no point in thinking light years ahead.A strong GMAT score would make things a lot clearer..Planning would be so much easier..

On a different note, have got a new JVC everio camcorder

This Clip Will Melt Your Brain

It finally all makes sense. I think?

Long time..no post...
Life was hectic for the last few days.
Now its almost a month in the US.The trip was exciting via. Amsterdam, Minnapolis and Windsor. Bungled a bit in the immigration check-in counter in the US but I guess I could be forgiven for that , this being my first trip to the US.
For the past few days the work was not much but the time spent in miscellaneous activities was quite a lot.
probably saw the last snowfall in connecticut this season just 2 days after arriving. It was beautiful. Could not take snaps and sorely felt the need for a camera. Plan to buy it soon.
The client seems to be good(ever the eternal optimist!!!!) . Things right now, seem very much manageable and under control.
Probably meeting friends next weekend, the old chums from Pune. This should be good.
will keep this blog updated.

You win some....

You win some...You Lose Some.. The basic tenet of life. This is my first post although I have been visiting a Lot of Blog sites since long. I never could motivate myself enough to expend the time and the energy to write a post of my own. For the uninitiated 'Coming back to life' is a song by Pink Floyd. Guess many of you may already know this.This is a beautiful song into which I was led by a friend. Corporate Life is a big change. College never prepares you enough for it. Or maybe it does...

The biggest lesson I have learned is - You have to be adaptative - Things will go wrong - There will be moments of crisis but resilience is something which will always stand you in good stead. Heed to your instincts listen to your gut feeling. Be proactive, never hurts!!
