Thinking aloud

Back in Black!!! June 15, 2006

The reason for extending the break was my feeling a bit low
all these days. And it may seem strange to many people but
the main problem that I faced was lack of any work! While
most of my classmates are busy preparing for the placements
and/or MBA and training/projects. I had virtually nothing to
do in all these areas. My training is hardly 2 hours per day
and that too is not necessary as they will give me certi
even if I go there once in a week! The motivation of
studying for placement was lost the day I got first offer
(though I am still hoping I will get at least one more
offer). And there is no scope of some official project or
MBA in my case. So, I was virtually work-less. Add to that
the lack of any new game on my PC and malfunctioning of the
few circuits that I tried initially. And it was perfect
setting for me losing interest in any productive work.

So, in the second phase, I spent almost all my time on net.
Visiting sites varying from Orkut and Hi5 to

forum.nokia.com and
python.org.
While being online on Yahoo messenger and Gmail/Google talk
for most of the time. This resulted in another kind of
problem. As I said almost all my friends are busy right now,
so obviously I was the one poking them “aur bhai kya haal
hai” and “Kya chal raha hai aaj-kal”.

After some time when the ratio of messages send to that of
received on Orkut/Yahoo/SMS/Gmail reached something like
5:1, I decided its time to give it up!! And finally, today I
was disappointed by a person, to meet whom, I was waiting
for around 2 years!!

At that time I decided that now I wont chase false dreams
and false friends and will try to re-invent my interests.
So, I got my cycle up and ready (Actually did it yesterday),
bought back my dumb-bells from my padosi, along with two
books on OS and Networking, tried (and failed somewhat) to
help one lady of our class in her project, will be working
on few circuits tomorrow And now writing this post for the
blog!!

I hope the combination of cycling, exercise, blogging,
reading what I love and making a few circuits will help me
in reviving my spirits and forgetting that false “special
someone”!!!

P.S.:Thanks a lot the lady
from Ipanema for motivating me to write this post.

And naa I am not a fan of
MIIB, in fact I havent seen MIB 1 or 2…

and am happy you are back into
blogging!!

i also have these phases of “nothing-to-do” boredom,
sometimes. even when i have lots to do but just feel like
doing it. i know how depressing it can get. but i think it’s
normal.
