Insomniac

I'm writing this post at 4:21 in the morning, a mere five hours later when I wrote my last post. Nothing has changed much as such. All that has changed is my mood, and as I promised you that I will be posting every slightest change, and also that I am not enough sleepy to go to bed, neither enough awake to study, I thought why not write a few things.
Few weeks ago I left the post of Vice-president at an organisation which globally has 30,000 persons working for it. No, I was not the head of all of them, but of a mere 10, a part of the executive and governing body of one of the chapters of this orrganisation, which has its presence in 105 countries. But still, you don't get the opportunity of being called a vice-president every now & then and certainly not at this age. And yet I left it. I do not regret my decision because their are goals which mean more to me than holding that post. On the other hand I loved my organization too and could not see it suffer because of me and so I had to choose the harder but right way.

Getting into HCL


Imagine a boy lifted up in the air by a bunch of his friends and being kicked fiercely at his bums. That is the scene when you get placed and share the news with your friends in any engineering college. Happenned to me that evening and God, I liked it more than I would have liked anything else in the recent past (mind you, for once only, please dont come barging in my room with a motive of banging my backyard) .
I did take my routine step when I got down from the bed and just fell on the chair infront of my computer screen that evening after my usual day nap. As usual, opened the browser to check my mail hoping that there will be something cheerful in the mail box. And there it was. A new mail and the subject line said it all. "You have been selected for HCL .........", it was saying. Though not being my ultimate dream, it sure was a start and coming after a long year of waiting it really meant a lot.
Life has changed a little bit after that day and hope it will keep changing in ths manner. As I have already said, change is the thing, you can rely upon.......
