“Open Dream” come true

🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Remember my post about Yahoo! ? Its title was “Life at its best”.. Today it was a dream come true for me since I got a job offer from Yahoo! Research and Development. Well, I have been dreaming about this company ever since I wanted to work, concentrating on the skills that Y! looks for, took a lot of risk waiting for Y! to arrive on campus and now.. its worth all those efforts. With God’s grace and good guidance, i got through.

The selection process consisted of a written test, 2 technical interviews, a programming round and a HR interview. The best thing about the overall process is the emphasis on thinking BIG. Y! seldom asks memory based questions. All they need is the right approach to the right problem at the right time. It was a great learning experience. Looking forward to working at Yahoo!

This is how i feel now – “YAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOO”!!!!!

***Life is ssoo STRANGE***

I was completely unaware of the blasts in Bangalore when we started planning for a beautiful Friday evening. The perfect weather and good mood had an amazing effect on planning. Its only after stepping out, I realized that LIFE has its own plans for each of us..

I was shell shocked when i came to know about the bomb blasts, more so  because of the  multiple blasts on Mysore Road. It is very painful to see innocent people living in namma Bengaluru suffering this way. The jammed network added to my “all-time-high” tension. Calling up my family and friends and ensuring that they r safe cheered me up to some extent. In the mean while, the count of blasts kept shooting up and my concern for my loved ones raised exponentially.

Amidst such confusion and fear, LIFE indeed gave me a great evening.. A drive in city’s heart when the entire city was gripped by fear was very daring!!! Long beautiful discussions, playing pool and good snacks.. everything seemed to be too good to believe in such a situation.

We never know what can happen next moment.. All we can do is hope for the best and keep giving our best to LIFE

Hopelessly Bored :((

The past one month has been very hectic with exam preparations and interviews. I was praying all these days for the exams to get over because i hate studying for exams.. its not as interesting as studying for knowledge. Today, i realize that i have actually grown “workaholic”.. Now, dont imagine me studying late nights, coding all day and doing other geeky stuff.. “work” according to me includes ssoo many things 🙂 be it sleeping, singing, listening to music, dancing, talking on the phone or chatting online.. its all WORK

Some strange things happen during exam time

* the urge to sleep increases with the study load

* the interest in reading general books and solving programming problems shoots up as exams approach

* the last exam is the hardest to prepare for.. most of time is spent on (fruitless) planning for the vacation and stupid dreaming

Life seems tooo rosy on the day i finish my exams.. but the excitement soon dies out. Morning naps are no longer so enjoyable, spending time with loved ones in spite of busy schedule is no longer a problem.. Well, exams really bring out the BEST out of me. I tend to compete with myself each time to accomplish more n more n more, to read more in lesser time, to keep up with the challenges thrown at me by life 🙂

Its been only one day since exams got over and i feel ssssssooo bored.. no mood to read books. I tried listening to songs, chatting online, chatting with mom for one hour on phone, sleeping but still dont seem to be satisfied with all these. I want to go on a looooooooong vacation to a calm and quiet place. A place free from differences, a place where peace and harmony prevail, a place free from jealousy and arguments.. a place full of love and faith, a place which makes me feel that “I AM ALIVE”!!!
