Hebbal

Wondered if spider web could look so grand,

And, weed so pretty

A walk in the park

Fight to get up at 6 am every morning, run to the shuttle, crawl your way through the chaotic bangalore traffic, get in front of the 21" screen to type plain gibberish (for which you even get paid) with fairly interspersed caffeine breaks, and now next is ever-so-long drive back home. What do you get ? A typical day in the life a much revered, for the lack of a better word, corporate employee.

When was the last time I realized that life is wee bit more gigling at funny email that my colleague has sent? When was the last time I decided to break free from monotony of sedantary urbane life? I'm up at first light everyday, but when was the last time I enjoyed a sunrise? The questions aren't really meant to thought provoking. For me, and for zillionth time, it was today.

I woke up at 5.30 am today, drove to the Hebbal lake, with the intention of a brisk jog with a few photographs. It was my first time there.

Curiously, I asked the gate keeper, if I had to buy a ticket to enter, she laughed me away. And, began my two hour long tread into a territory, unknown, which I was so going relish, and an interest which I am so going to pursue, only harder.

The roughest yet to come

Smile today, tomorrow can be worse - Isn't this one of Murphy's Laws? Doesn't matter, holds good for real purposes of life.
After devouring the barrons word list, pulling your out hair through the reading comprehsions, and what not, you thought the worst was over? God save you if you are employed. The easiest task is choose what you want to master in. You know it yourself.
It helps a little if you are still in college because the next steps are little less strenous. Have you ever run around for a recommendation letter from your professor? I have had that real ill-luck of having to run around for three people
a) A professor in College b) A professor who quit my college c) A professor with whom I did my intership.
All this amidst amdist eight to ten hours of a corporate life filled with otiose meetings, newer, stranger, nonsensical development requests, redundant message solving can sometimes (yes sometimes) get a little (yes little) annoying.

The part now, is that I am through to CMU and we've had our very first meet.
The start of course in august, will set the ball rolling, assignments after more assignments, credits after credits, internships, jobs, find yourself a house, cook for yourself. And, boy the thought the worst part was over.
