...and then I realised everything he knew, he learnt, he thought was obsolete. It was like sleeping in the 90s and waking up in the 2400s. It was a dream. No, it was more than a dream, it was real. It was unlike anything he had ever imagined.
It was sad but it could have been worse. And then he felt a strange feeling of happiness within. Or was it just feeling of serendipity? He felt he had discovered something. Something new. Something so enchanting...

High and lows
Virtually everyone who had any chance of promotion got promoted back in the old company. All the 2+ developers became senior developers; all the senior developers became Associate TMs; all the ATMs became TMs; all the TMs became Senior TMs and all the Apples became Oranges.
the skewed developer to manager ratio has been inverted and I guess the company has replaced the old problem with a new one.
anyways, am not an analyst or a seer, so any concers is thrown right out of the window.
Coming to the real thing, ever since I landed up in Pune, most of th days have been like shit. Getting drunk is not a solution 'coz I never get drunk enough. The new job is extremely boring. The team lead and the manager rate me highly and have been handed some stuff which highly product centric and am going nuts over the whole thing.
Even the weekends didn't feel all that great. Saw a couple of movies - "Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind" and "A history of Violence". The history thing was crap and the Eternal ssunshine made me feel like crap. Here's a line from the movie...
sad, sad movie.
Got rejected from Penn State uni for god knows why. Waiting for a rejecteion from virginia tech as well. I guess all that 99 percentile GRE doesn't work if you are really not destined to go.
They say, theres life and career beyond masters in India. Am not sure about the former and I doubt about the latter.
Would really help if I have life beyond my cubicle, can't wait to get out.
Am joining swimming this week, enrolled for another course for the next week. Pune is growing on me. I guess am not all that adaptable.
Surely, this too shall pass...

I don't hope for the better,
'coz there's worse beyond
I guess I'll make it anyways,
'before the lights are gone.

Valentine's day - a day the card companies invented to make people feel like crap...
