Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

A big update, I've moved back to India. With that comes another change - a bilingual blog.
Why? I wanted to be on my own and US wouldn't allow me to be on my own in the foreseeable feature. The reactions ranged from it is BOLD to BS. Here, I will try to capture some of the more exotic ones.

"Hey, I thought your company doesn't usually fire people. Are you the first?"
"Did you watch Swades?"
"You hate IT? Do you want to go take photographs of animals" (3 Idiots wasn't released at that time or they'ld have branded me as the next Farhan Qureshi)
"What will you do back in India? Teach kids?"

As things turned out, that is exactly what I wanted to do. Take charge of young people's careers. And, that is really pretty interesting and rewarding.

If you think that all is well, hmm there was one big disappointment. I bought myself a parting gift from US. And, what would that be? You must have guessed it from the ad above. I bought myself a Wii and proudly opened it back home. I can't recollect the exact sequence but here are a few that I do remember.

I remember someone volunteering to make the connections. Someone else fished out a pin hunter from the cup board and boom the set is connected to the power socket. (Pop should have been more apt). 220V fed to 110V device. THE END.
