Today marks the end of the year 2008. This yeas wasn’t as bad as 2007 but it wasn’t that good either. I had some good experience & some bad experience. This was the first year when I actually realized that I have grown up & its time to move on from the stupid things I have been doing since the last few years.
The year started with me leaving the friendship of Ashya, well the moment I left her…things took a new path. I got my Interview Call from SCIT Pune as well as Christ College Bangalore for MBA admission, but I found that it is better for me to get into a job then to study further right now. I got two jobs this year, first in Nukeation Studio under the supervision of Dax Pandhi & second in Virtual Studio Pvt. Ltd under the supervision of Venkatesh Sharma. I learned a lot from these jobs but there was still a lot to learn so I decided to leave jobs & come to back to first study & practise a bit & jump back to jobs.
By the end of this year, I got the big news of Santsheel’s Marriage. Its hard to believe that a girl who is our age, who was with us since school is married….are we that old today? I mean, comon…Marriage. But then again, she is happy with her husband so all equals up. I met Pooja, Arvind & Amrita again this year, Pooja has proved to be a real good friend, & Divy is a guy who takes me out of any depression by showing me what I truly am.
I left all the crap of my previous 3 years. I left all the girls I had in my life once as friends, Ashya, Surabhi, Priya & Gauri. I don’t know what happened to Priya & why she decided to break the friendship but she was my best friend & she was someone who understood me more then anyone ever has in my life. Oh! well…if staying away from me makes her happy, then be it. Even Aakriti said how much can I try if she doesn’t want which is indeed true. I did try but if the person isn’t paying attention to me, it’s time to delete that person from my life. Oh! & these were Priya’s words which I had to use on her case too. The only girl left from that time in my life is Nitisha & she has proved to be a real friend indeed, we had arguments but we both came back to track. Well, I realized something when Nitisha kicked my this year, I excel the most when I m alone & not doing useless stuff. I m following that only now. So far it is working.
I upgraded my Computer this year & finally started working on a LCD Monitor & few days back I bought Nokia N79. My Gadget requirements for the next few years are complete.
2008 wasn’t that good, but it wasn’t that bad either. At least I learned how not to get emotional & depressed when your “once good friend” leaves you just cos her BF is getting jealous.
What better way to start new year then to buy a Nokia N79 & trying Windows 7 beta 1
I don’t have a spare hard disk so it is installed in VirtualBox right now.
My newest toy…
Been a while since my last blog. I miss living the old life & miss loosing Priya now. She was one reason, despite of being a designer I never used to call myself a geek but now when even she is out, I am calling myself one. The last fun person is out of my life now.
I took a job here in Lucknow, they are not paying much but the learning & practicing opportunity is a lot here and I can keep myself busy. I am more like what I used to be 2 years back , A geek, working & practicing 24/7, although that will help in career but there is no fun left. I am even having a hard time thinking what to do today as it is Sunday…& I have practiced while working in office this week a lot. Being a geek is bad cos then life becomes settled on the computer only. We eat, sleep & drink Computers….our favorite time pass is looking through tutorials or articles etc.
Hmm…I did excel 2 years back before I started flirting, in my job, career etc. It’s like a trade off, it’s hard to forget the past & move on, & moving on with geekiness isn’t that appealing.
I guess 10 am to 6 pm, I am a geek. Learning while working & after that, at home I can practice C#. Sunday is just another day… I don’t want to be termed as a geek & I will make sure, I am not.
It’s been 10 days I am back to Lucknow & I am already super bored just like 6 months back. It seems it’s quite hard to change one routine, I wake up late here, sleep late here & don’t do much cos right now I haven’t even settled here yet. I don’t have internet at home yet, got a new proper SIM 2 days back only…& got bike repaired.
I have decided to give a time of 4 months to my practice work. I am not even looking at the job openings I am getting now & the next one is going to be in Bangalore only, just that I will have to be good in my work to stick there in this recession period.
The routine is simple. Wake at 6 am, go to gym, come back…take shower, play with Munmun….then sit on Computer as now no one in home will tell me not to work on computer like they used to. Then , work & learn till 5 or 6 pm in the evening, leave home like go out somewhere to some friend’s home for time pass. I have already left junk food & need to get in shape & routine.
It hasn’t been long since I came to Bangalore but I have to leave. I had a seizure attack last Thursday in Office & it’s better if I go back to Lucknow to rest & practice my skills again Photoshop etc. I am leaving 3ds Max completely cos to be a good UI Designer, I need to have excellence in Photoshop, Illustrator & Microsoft Blend. These are the only applications I am going to concentrate on now. I will do either freelance or work in Lucknow. My area of concentration is going to be Web 2.0 & Application UI designing. I have decided to give 4 months to this practice work.
