Life in Sep 14 - Oct 16 2008

So life? what is now? what have you done for the past one month?

Life: I have been busy. insanely busy. But some good things have happened.

Like what?

Life: Well, there was a trilogy movie festival celebrated in one week where i watched last 3 years Oscar winners for foreign language films.

There were three interviews that were screwed up. One because i got tired, one went well but i dont know and the best one was when i went to interview with 1 hr sleep and then slept during the interview.

My parents celebrated their 25 anniversary on 15 oct, 2008. I hope they celebrated well without me. I ate cake on their behalf . (The cake was excellent!, so i am assuming they also had good time).

Somewhere in between the cake and those movies was Advance operating system and its heavy course load and its midnight assignments. It has reinstated my faith that systems is a big pain. There will be a rant on that later.

I went to watch Dusshera at Vedic temple in Atlanta. It was good to see Ravan burning after so many years. Childhood nostalgia dropped by, but then it went quickly as it came. Until next year sire!

oh! and there were also some american political debates, the SNL spoofs, the economic meltdown and all that happened in a span of 2 weeks.

And finally, today i am writing this post from Hilton Bellevue hotel Seattle. Thanks to MicroSoft for giving me such luxurious opportunity again. Truely, interviewing with microsoft is like a vacaction except for the interview day. palkon pe bichaa ke rakhte hain apne candidates ko. If microsoft is ever hit by this economy, all they have to do to cut down expenditure is to stop recruiting.

And i also met Aman today after a gap of 2 years. Its very interesting what aman's first lines were: "tere ko yaad hain isse pehle hum kahan mile the?" me: "in a metro". It is interesting because that was exactly the same thought going in my mind as well :)

And for those who are tracking the score, i am accepting bets for whether it is going to be 2-2 or 3-1. If you do not which game it is, ask gurshi. Bets start at 10$ and if you win you will get twice back.
