The year gone by...

In the wink of an eye, its already over. June '08 was when I gave my final year degree exams. I performed fine, except for one subject (I hate Maths). So I decided not to jump into anything serious right away & take a break. Did run around for few interviews, what are the odds anyway!!! One of them actually clicked & there I had the offer letter in my hands. Yeah, it was a BPO!!! Nothing great about it, but I was happy with all that I have been through somebody found me worth it. Anyways, that job never happened for unknown reasons. Days passed by, and there came another opportunity knock knock knocking on my doors. PwC , one of the BIG FOUR wanted to hire on a short term. I gave it a try & yes I was HIRED!!! I was into my first ever job, by around 1st week of August. The overall experience was a memorable one (won't go in detail). This too was short lived, and I had to leave the company by November. It was after all this, when things only got more complicated, I was feeling I was out of options & ideas for my future. Frankly, I have been doing nothing since then (hate myself for it). Time passed by & I didn't even realise. Lots of touring, visiting family & friends in near by towns kept me busy. Meanwhile the only productive thing I did was to prepare for MBA entrance exams ahead (I got to write one on May 03rd, wish me luck). The tour to Belgaum, Mumbai & Pune was special. Overall, the past 6 months have been full of experiences that I cannot put in words. It has changed me for sure! Now I have some big challenges in front of me, all I am hoping is I succeed. I also have a very special wish deep inside my heart, and I know first I should make myself worth it to desire about it. Now starts a different journey of my life.....

Bangalore votes for its Future...

From being a "Pensioners' Paradise" to the "Silicon Valley" of India, this great city has changed a lot. Changes to be proud of, and some which we regret and hope it will change and make this city into a true Indian metropolis on the world map. Ministers, bureaucrats just about everyone promised its citizens a better city, promises mostly unkept and forgotten!!! Being a victim of bad governance, its time the citizens took responsibilty, came out and "VOTE". The youth need to come out in large numbers, vote for the right candidate. Refraining from voting and yet continue to blame the system doesn't help! Lets make our voices heard, loud & strong. The time is now, enough has been said but never done. To put Bangalore back on track and give its due what it is worth of. Please do vote on 23rd April at your respective constituencies and vote for the "deserving" candidate. 

VOTE QUOTE:
"Vote for the candidate who promises the least. He will be the least disappointing”

Save Lalbagh, lets fight for it...

In a sheer example of bad governance to which Bangalore has been a victim over the few years, here comes another major setback for the city's image. The North-South corridor of the Bangalore Metro to "cut" through the city's prominent lung space i.e Lalbagh!!! While global warming & climate change remain a major concern, our Govt. plans to "sacrifice" a heritage green patch of the city to accomodate Metro!!! Call it insensitiveness or a purposeful act to create political drama,  the Govt. portrays a "Who Cares?" attitude towards the issue. As true citizens & proud Bangaloreans, its the duty of each one of us to strongly condemn the idea and insist on a re-alignment of the Metro route. Considering both Metro & Lalbagh are important in their own prospects to the city, we need to make our voices heard. The time is now...

The change is a must for the future generations to see a Developed & Vibrant India. Come vote for development, justice, tolerance, gender equality, secularism & ONE INDIA. The time is now...
