I wanted to...

The title would probably convey a message that it should include my wishlist. But no, it's not. It is including the things I wanted to do in life and where I ended up landing.

On the money straight away.

I wanted to do ECE, but I did EEE.
I wanted to go to USA, but I went to Sweden.
I wanted to do MBA, but I did MS.
I wanted to work in Bangalore, but I am working in Noida.
I wanted to work in Audio Codecs, but I began working in Video codecs.
I wanted to work in Video codecs, but I was put into middle layer.
I wanted to work in middle layer, but I am now put into application layer.

WTF ! What next ? That's so far the missed list, not the wished list.

I had been changing my domain constantly and unwillingly most of the times. A rather optimistic person would say, "You are cool man. You are taking life as it comes". I am not saying beep. Good thing with frequent shifting is: You get a chance to finger in unexplored territory. Bad thing is: Your exploration would only be short-lived coz you are not pursuing the territory as you wished. I hope I don't end up being a jack of all trades, master of none. Jackass is not a bad word either.

So that skit hang over in our employee meet is not over yet. My die-hard fans ( I presume two or three would be there in this world irrespective of the gender ) can find the videos here - Part1 and Part2 in youtube. I've also added the same links in the 'Employee meet' post. Clarity would not be so good. Videos are pretty much in compressed format. So I would be happy if you can understand what we were trying to say. Basic knowledge of Hindi would be required. For your information, that bloke with long locks is me. Yes, it's me. I've changed, yes! May be you can close your mouth now? I am still open for brickbats or bouquets for my performance. I owe that I would be back to my school boy looks next year. Don't know what the public outcry would be like. Just as you need guts to grow long locks, one also needs guts to get rid of those locks which you dearly maintained for close to couple of years. My heart aches when I go for the hair cut.

Last week I saw a Hindi movie called, Dus Kahaniyan ( translated to English means, 10 stories). I don't have words to express it. While I was coming out of the theater I had seen a stray dog, jumping freakishly, running around itself trying to catch it's own tail, attempting to catch mosquitoes in the air etc in that cold night. No joke. I had no idea why it was doing so. Finally I found an answer and I captured the plight of her which was very similar to ours. May be she had also seen the movie. This is what (click what) you feel (click feel) like doing after watching the movie. Tear your hair apart. Perhaps, faithful animal dog, is always right.
