The SECOND Post

Well, I finally decided to post again. I realised that some crazy people actually read my previous crap. That inspired me :)I decided after all that my brain needs to think of things other than just work. Its been a tough day... well a tough week.. no wait.. a tough year... in fact its been a tough life.... but again its the cynic in me. Its not been that bad actually, but somehow whenever I try writing something it seems very melancholy. I guess I wont do too well at comic writing (Not that I intend to anyway).



A lot of things have been happening lately, none for the good. Last week, the company for which I work for laid off 60% of their workforce... And today Lehman Brother's went bankrupt, and AIG almost did... and Merill Lynch was bought by Bank Of America before they got into trouble... There's more to come... Doesnt sound too good does it?



Well it gets worse. We've had 3 serial bomb blasts back home in the past couple of months and nobody seems to have a clue about what needs to be done. Floods in Bihar, which nobody seems to care about and Mamata didi in Singur just makes matters worse. There are just too many negative things going on with too few positives. There doesnt even seem to be a silver lining in this cloud. I guess the only thing to do is wait watch and hope for the best. I hope this will pass.



Reminiscing back 7 years.. I landed up in Nagpur on 9/11. What a day to make an entry to college. With the aftershocks of the attack I thought my career was going to go up in smoke like the Twin Towers. The IT industry crashed. More about Nagpur later. I can write books on that. But everythings a cycle and things rebounded back by 2005. Everything seemed rosy then. Going by the same logic, I think 2011 will be a good year (Disclaimer: Its just a thought in a blog, dont take it seriously). Well, the point im trying to make is eventually things will turn around. Everythings a big equation whose sum total is zero. It just depends which part of the equation youre on, and when are you on it.



I mean, look at me, I was doing night shifts in a musty old building in esplanade with ghosts for company (Im serious, there were just 2 persons in a 16 storeyed 50 year old building and the bathroom was half a mile away) and now im writing a blog sitting here in usa. So I guess that balances things out.



I guess Ill stop here for now, or my limited writing prowess will start showing and flaws will begin to appear. So till next time (which will be when someone actually says something good about this) ;) take care
