More Changes

It has been exactly one year, since my last post on this blog. I am happy that I was not having time to post more things in last one year :). So its time to summarize my life in last year. Biggest news is that I have moved from Delhi to Gurgaon. Joined my old B.tech. friends as new roommates. Company wise, reduced some staff and shifted office to Gurgaon. All shifting happened on 1st march, which is same date when I have landed on Delhi last year, So spent one complete one year as "dilliwasi".

Overall last one year has been good for me. I cracked more jokes last year which made at-least few people laugh for sometime. Started new approach of writing code for delivering products at faster rate. Lesser night-outs was another positive thing happened to me last year. More trips to home than any year since I have moved out of home.

Bad part a)Had to shutdown wikislice servers. b) Lost Delhi Office.

I am looking forward for my Gurgaon life. Just got "Question Mark" image, will try to keep it as it for next few months.

Everything (almost) is New - Change is Only Constant

I have moved from Webaroo, Mumbai to join Webaroo's Delhi office so new city.
That also implies new colleagues, new room partners.
Thanks to delay in mobile number portability in India, I have to move to new mobile number.
Started working for smsgupshup, so new project.
I have moved to www.dksidana.com, so new domain.
Have been promoted to be a Senior Software Engg., so new title.


People who know me, should also know that I am not going to change at all.

Don't know

I am feeling unhappy but dont know why?
I am missing something but dont know what?
I am missing someone but don't know whom?
I want to go somewhere but don't know where?

Am I entering in the world of homeseekness ?

THEN And NOW -2

My last posting THEN And NOW might lead you [some] sympathy for Deepak but I do have more sympathy for Sneha than Deepak. I am trying to tweak that story a bit and see what happens. Everything, that is in red colour, is different from last story and rest is same.

Deepak, an introvert and bookworm by birth, was from a small town in India. His world was his room with books and books. He rarely used to talk to anyone in class and in fact his relatives and neighbors. He appeared for AIIMS after school education and got selected. Usually it became difficult to leave home when u haven't been very far from family in childhood but it wasn't that difficult for him, may be he didn't like his family too or he was willing to meet genius people at AIIMS.

AIIMS didn't meet his expectation. Most of people there was too talkative and all of them chatting about movies,crickets,girls etc. Finding Deepak in that crowd was very easy, a person with no expression on face will surely be Deepak. Soon everyone started calling him "Padaku" (bookworm) . He thought a lot on all these and decided to change himself. Obviously it wasn't that easy. He made group of 10 odd people and started watching movies, games and going out etc. etc. It took two and half year to change himself (and his image too). An introvert Deepak was ready to talk even a stranger/girl. Deepak use to talk to people very much irrespective of how close/far relationship he has with them.

Sixth sem. of his batch was just ended but everyone was still in hostel for summer project. Project time is used to be most lukha(free) time in college tenure. Everything was going very cool but only problem was their age. Everyone in his group started have to girlfriend(GF) or started keeping eye on one or another girl. But he was still behind the world in this race. Slowly slowly, his friend circle started reducing and he started feeling lonely. He again started a long discussion with himself and conclusion came that he should not have any girlfriend. He continued to talk to everyone around as equally as possible.

Summer project time ended and semester started. Deepak was still searching for a girl. Every student in seventh sem. has to lead a project with some junior students. Luckily/Unluckily he got a very beautiful junior girl, Sneha, was assigned in his team. They used to discussed about their project and sometimes normal things. Somehow Sneha, who was not knowing about Deepak totally, got impression that Deepak is interested in her and started thinking about him a lot. Sneha was totally impressed by Deepak. Deepak was fit for Sneha in every metric he was looking. Soon she fallen in love. Proposing a girl in India is not at all easy thing escpially when you don't know what she thinks about you. Every morning Sneha use to think that today Deepak will propose her. But it never happened . Every night she use to think about him and calculates the probability of Deepak loving her. Time spent on, Six month project with Sneha was just to end. Just 15 days before project last date, Sneha got courage to do proposal. It was all surprise for Deepak, he never taken Sneha in that sense (and infact any girl). He rejected peacefully.

Deepak was in a great shock, he started think what he did wrong and when. He was feeling guilty for his talkativeness. He even was having courage to talk to Sneha again. He didn't mention about this incident to any of his friend or family. His friend got busy with their GFs and Deepak started staying lonely in his room and not willing to talk to anyone just like he use to stay in his room at home 4 years ago. Only difference between then and now was happiness and sadness.

Punjabiya Di Shaan Vakhri

A Saying
" Loki duniya wich wasde bathere,
Punjabiaan di shaan wakhri "
means punjabi are much different from other word.

I was in Mukstar (a city in punjab) on this weekend to attend my cousin's marriage. It had been approx. 2 years when I last my relatives at a time. Really really enjoyed those hours with them. They have jokes on each and every line of discussion. I wish I could also make such quick reply as they give. I already got bored from reading jokes in forwarded mail or on net. I rarely found funny people around me now-a-days, reason might be that I am in a busy city or I,myself being very boring.

Heading towards home

At last, I will be going home tomorrow(friday) evening and will be coming back on Tuesday morning . I will be unavailable on yahoo mesg. and mail but would like to see mail from you in my inbox at gmail. I can be contacted at my mobile any time.

THEN And NOW

I always wish I should have better writing skill, but I heard God gives in only one of Writing Skill and Skill :) . Anyway I do have a story rotating in my mind since last one year. I would like to write a longer version of it but at present I don't have time (and skills too). Anyway an abstract is as follows:

THEN And NOW (TAB Aur AB)

Deepak, an introvert and bookworm by birth, was from a small town in India. His world was his room with books and books.

Slowly slowly, his friend circle started reducing and he started feeling lonely. He again started a long discussion with himself and conclusion came that he should also search for a GF(in fact wife in his case). He started to think about each and every girl around her but couldn't find a single one who he likes and still a single(un-engaged).

Summer project time ended and semester started. Deepak was still searching for a girl. Every student in seventh sem. has to lead a project with some junior students. Luckily/Unluckily he got a very beautiful junior girl, Sneha, was assigned in his team. Deepak got impressed with her beauty in first sight and with her intelligence in some meetings. Sneha was fit for Deepak in every metric he was looking. Soon he fallen in love. Proposing a girl in India is not at all easy thing escpially when you don't know what she thinks about you. Every morning Deepak use to think that today is day to propose her. But he was not having courage to do that. Every night he use to think about her and calculates the probability of Sneha loving her.

You should accept your crime

I mentioned in my previous post that I am used to read someone's scrapbook whom I dont contact directly( http://publicdk.blogspot.com/2006/08/reading-someones-scrapbook.html)

It has been approxmately one and half month since then and I haven't seen that scrapbook, infact I haven't used that proxy login after. It may be partially because of load of work but I think accepting that crime on blog has majorly helped me at lot.

Just try it once and u will feel better :)

I will posting more about orkut scraps on Tech Blog

Out of IIT, Joined W-star, Just came back from Pune

My MTP presentation happened onn 31st Aug. Sir was happy with work and presentation and so does me. Some official formalities are still pending to get PG degree but thast has much less headache than it was before.
I joined W-star much earlier than this (18 th Aug). Work is gud enough to keep me satisfied. Got my firt salary 2 days back but only Rs .14,806 :( . I haven't gone to shopping after that :(

I am just back from my Pune trip (after a long time). met most of close friends but still a great list pending, seems that I have to go again for meeting more people.

Half Century

Today I got my 50th Fan on orkut :)
But out of these 50, more than 30-35 are those people who are fan of everyone in their friend list.
It has been common in people asking other one to be their fan.
