- Feels great to be a full time in a company. Difference between being an intern and being a full timer is huge! Internship is like an ODI where the time to prove yourself is limited. You've constantly got to be on your toes. One quite over, one wicket at the right/wrong time can change the course of the game. Full time position, on the other hand, is like a test match. You can take as much time as you want .... and the biggest advantage is even if you don't do well, you can always play for a draw :)
- So who says test cricket is tougher than ODI's and T20's! I think its completely the other way round: T20 is much tougher than ODI's which in turn are harder than tests. Now if internship corresponds to ODI and Full time corresponds to test, what does T20 correspond to? Interviews :)
- And that explains why the oldies don't like T20's and think its child's play. In their times, afterall, interviews were never so hard ..... so their thoughts that any Raina, Pathan or Rohit can play T20's well. Interviews of the modern times have got very critical and tough, so T20 is not easy by any means. For the oldies, sustaining for a longer period was hard then. The mantra now is live fast and play hard!
- I'm starting to get in love with this city. Not just for its scenic snowcaps, well planned landscapes, and disciplined public transportation. But mostly because for the first time in life I think I'm in a place where almost every single individual belongs where he/she deserves to be. Bloating of IT industry in India, and for that matter even in the US, have always concerned, sometimes even disappointed, me. In that regard feels great to be among individuals almost all of whom have worked very hard to be here, who in every respect have earned their place here and who deserve to be here.
- The place sometimes feels to be too perfect, almost like a utopia. It feels like a mega developed, clean Pune with all un-wanted things/people removed. Mahabaleshwar seems to be replaced by Rainier, Khadakwasla by Snowqualmie, Kokan coast replaced by the Pacific! The people, the food joints all seem familiar, just like back home.In short, a better home away from home.
- In short, life's great here. Cannot ask for anything more really, but I'm still not happy. Why? missing bayko!
