You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.

On a day like today, the whole world could change...

I remember watching this song on MTV- Bryan Adams with the elephant and a puzzle to solve in the song. I liked him then...

There is more reason to like him now . He is a vegetarian,likes India and boy o' boy he wants to bathe in the Ganges. He loves 'Aloo Gobi' he says. This guy must have definitely seen the 'mirchi' lurking in the crevices of the Gobi . He rocks !

Oh God ! Please help me find a job !

It is saddening at times...

I should really go and study...some java,some financials, some php , some perl ...


Sometimes I get some doubts about myself. A little bit of this, a little bit of that ...I wish I could do something consistently and say this is my core skill .. here hire me !

I have been sending out enough resumes. I am a little tired. I read something in a website today about how some consulting companies post fake job openings. I learnt it happens everywhere. I have been wanting to rewrite my resume.Sometimes I wish I could write my resume in a small paragraph. Like this one....


I was tossed around in my previous company. Maybe consulting companies do this so that their employees don't find a job elsewhere. I would do 6 months of VB front end and then be shifted to SQL Server, ok I did this for 1.5 years and then I did ASP for three months. Then it was Html and deploying Java code for 10 months. Then came the big change - Oracle Financials for 6 months. Then it was Html/ctrl+C &ctrl +V all the way for 1.5 years. Grabbed a few certifications(MCP,SCJP) on the way. I can communicate well. I don't understand pointers ! I can optimize SQL queries pretty decently. I can troubleshoot any problem really well. I have an Engineering Degree from a very good college. I take problems upon myself and solve. I like to interact with clients and get things done for them. I can do very monotonous tasks like numbering pages(I have done this in my previous company(a very famous one at that !) ) without a sigh !


Will somebody hire me ?
