Inspite of promising, I took this long in writing a second blog. Sorry. Thats just me. But I do want to change. Motivation, man, how badly I want that!
Okay, coming to the post meat, I went to Delhi this weekend for a friend's wedding. It was the first time I watched the solemn occasion that closely, I mean there have been shaadis all the time, but somehow I wasn't as watchful of them.
Shaadi apart, the journey to and from Delhi was experience of sorts.
- Watch a drunken brawl in the DTC bus that I was travelling in, one of the moments, I wish I owned a car of my own and had had enough cash to keep me away from this all.
- Just when I got down at Dhaula Kuan, a flurry of khakhis are there gheroing everyone and asking them to stop right there. I just thought a few hours later I'd be on TV talking of some "attack" or something happening. But no, that was a politician attacking! It (the politician) was supposed to be visiting DSOI nearby, thus the barricade. Minister-o-Ridiculousia. I thought this kind of near curfew situation was to be seen only in the peak militancy days in Punjab. I thought the feeling of being a second-grade citizen would be one's own in a foreign country. I thought it was peace time. I thought I was as much an Indian.
- On my way back, I witnessed a bus conductor being rude with passengers who were objecting to the bus being halted for over 10 minutes at each stop. Reminded me of a post at Atanu's Blog about how much of a gap exists between the civilized and uncivilized, about how the under privileged are overly rude, about how I detest when people plead money for such "children of lesser a God"
- Watched my self being happy post daaru session at the marriage :)
Rambling et al, it ends here.
Its about me. Its about what I see. Its about what I feel. Its about where I have been. Its about where I would like to go. Its about what I have loved. Its about what I have hated. Its about my aspirations. Its about my frustrations. Its about the world in me. Its about the world. Its not about me.

Introduction and the lack of it
Okay World, here I come!
Been thinking of having a blog ever since I was in college (Okay okay I realize that there should have been my intro et al. Lets say it one more time: *Yawn*. I am too lazy for that. So I'll try and "introduce meself" as it goes, don't expect write-ups starting with "I was born in the beautiful town of", this, primarily because I wasn't born in a beautiful town )
Why start today? Good question! Wrong time. I am hurt you asked this. Its been a monotonous day. Monotonity/Cluelessness is what scares me.
Second, Rohit's page did the inspiration thingy.
I'm into a new job (Another piece of info, *info*...*/info* henceforth). I recently quit Infosys Technologies Ltd to join EValueServe, fondly EVS, as an Associate (Research Associate) in the Intellectual Property Division. IP related work is a niche area, at least in India and is expected to grow big time, thanks to the world's belief of India as the Knowledge Land.
The transition from Infosys to EVS happened *fast*. From a company I used to fancy (courtesy: BW et al) to a company I am sporting the mail id of, in some 20 days. Pretty cool, huh?
Winding up to see the preview and away from prying eyes. Keep tuned. I'll be back.
