Of Staying in Touch and Wishing for the Right Things

My last post was the day after I resigned, a little over two months ago. A lot has happened since then.When I left my job the general emotion was that of happyness of looking forward to a new adventure with little sadness in leaving behind some amazing people - because I always knew they were important enough to me to stay in touch with them even after I leave my company.


I have been an unemployed youth for a month now and it has not quite been like how I thought it would be. For the first two weeks, I suffered from withdrawal symptoms - missing my everyday jibber-jabber was a little too much I guess :p I made a truck load effort to speak with the ex-colleagues I really cared about - calling them myself, sometime being disappointed with unanswered and unreturned calls - Not very pleasant :p

The prime idea behind the efforts was the knowledge that I would hibernate first thing I leave these ppl.. Fair to say, I didnt let that happen :p .. In the month gone by I have typed and received more emails and FB messages on a daily basis then I would get even at work :p (Some from ppl I didnt interact with much before I left or they did :p) My phone bill for the last month is the highest in an year :p But I am right there for everyone I care about :) Mission Accomplished :p :D

In other news, I got through to Univ of Southern Calif, LA in the US - an admit that I positively craved.. And what followed the admit was the coming true of the old saying - Be careful for what you wish for :p An admit to USC meant that I had to make a decision - cheaper Canada's serene study environment @ Mcgill or the bright lights of LA with a fight of a Master's course @ USC.. Needless to say, my poor decision-making history - as Chandler once said - scared the bajesus out of me - what if I chose the wrong place, what if the other is where I shd go? But this time I took the decision from the heart - c'mon I wasnt going to pass the opportunity to go Hollywood, even if it is for a MS program :p :D Georgia Tech are yet to reply though and I would probably go there if I get through - not wishing too hard for that though - itna lalach accha nahi :D

Amreeka, please grant me a visa on time :p :D

PS> Got a reject from Georgia Tech :p

  2. Talula has nothing to do with it - I hardly even know her :p .. If anything, she might be going to Canada herself... And yes, no French - not really sure if that is a good thing though
