My parents and me were very clear about my career long since i remember. The plan was that I will do my bachelors in engineering and Ms from US and finally become a software engineer (what ever that means.I failed to decipher what that means even though I'm working in a Software company as Trainee).My life was full of obvious decisions, after passing from school, my stream for inter was pretty clear (MPC what else you need to become an engineer) and as for the bachelors engineering degree(Btech) part I did finish my bachelors in Engg in computer science. Every thing went according to the plan till Engg except that i was supposed to do my Btech from IIT’s but ended up finishing it in Holy Mary Institute of technology and science.Then the next step has to be Ms in Us but then came fear that threatened my beautifully planned career, the fear that i might not return to India after my masters, this fear led to some decisions that did not work - my Gate attempt (must have been a half hatred attempt).But now after retrospection, introspection,circumspection I again decided to go ahead with my original plan. Go ahead for MS in US but along with this I take up a new challenge, the challenge of coming back to India even though not immediately after Ms but definitely after some time from the comfort of USA which held back 90% of Indian who went there.At least this post should work as remainder for me when i think(heavens forbid) of settling down in US.

First Earnings
Blogging has brought me my first earnings.Although this is not a huge amount the fact that this is my first earning makes the cheque very special.

New Year Resolutions
A study says only 10 in 100 people who make new year resolutions stick to them.
This is the first time that I'm writing down my new year resolutions on a paper (blog whatever) .
- Sleep early ,wake up early
- Eat healthy
- Study for GRE
Sleep early,wake up early:
these days I'm becoming insomniac in the nights and tend to sleep during very weird hours of the day.I want to avoid this .
“ Early to bed early raise”
Eat healthy:
during last year there were weeks when not a single day went with out me eating outside food.So decided to eat more of homemade food and avoid outside food.Its going to be less of Chinese, burgers,pizzas,French fries,and Hyderabadi biryani this year.
Study for the GRE:
Now that I've already booked the date for GRE (19th Feb) , i need to start some serious preparation.
If you remember i talked about some stats in the beginning, yes 90% of the people fail to keep up their new year resolutions.I’ll hope to be a part of the other 10% who stick to their resolution.
