Prologue: This friend of mine happened to send friend request to a girl whom I know.

X: Hey, I’ve sent a friend request to this girl ‘Y’ whom I saw in your friend’s list.

Me: WTF?!! why did you do that? You already know that she’s gonna reject the friend request. Girls don’t have a big heart to make acquaintance through FB but still they update their profile as ‘Interested in men’ or ‘Making new friends’. But boys do accept all friend requests especially a fake facebook account with a girl’s name.

X: Well, that’s true.. but I’m little different. Atleast by sending friend requests, they will be viewing my profile. How long will we have to stare at some random girl’s profile. Let them stare at mine now

Me: @#$@#%#%

A little reenactment was all that’s needed. By the way, I gotta tell you something, Elamparithi in this video, has never acted but lived as the character. This video was shot at 1AM while elamparithi was in his dreams. Special thanks to spiky who acted as the robber.

Monetary loss: 5000rs on the whole.

Atleast, we had something to cheer about. That someone didn’t bother to steal my laptop, the one which I’m using to do this blog post. Also, we had around 7 mobile phones in our house wanting to be stolen yet he didn’t lay his eyes on them. He must be a really generous person, i guess

Also, Thanks to someone to give a topic to blog about

In agony,

Ganesh.

Cheers,

Ganesh.

In this chaotic state of my mind, I  was encouraged by my friends to have this blog rejuvenated. Thanks to Anoop and a few others who kept doing it for quite sometime now.

Okay! Enough of this drab. I’d really be happy if you guys suggest me about things I should write in here. Be it some weird stuffs or lol things. I don’t mind as long as you’re int’d in it Looking forward to it.

After 1.5 yrs, I’m back to blogging again. Check out this space for more updates.

Thanks,

Ganesh.

Well, There is 4 hours of internet in which I’m blocked to access almost 99% of all sites and that’s virtually no internet This will continue till Jan’09 as that’s when my training get over. I’m kinda sick at being there. Certain ground rules which I always intend not to follow but I had to..

Coming to the study part, I spend lotta time reading books nowadays which my fellow trainees are quite surprised as I’m not books-read and gain-knowledge kinda person. Answering to this question here : Consider if you’re one among 100 students and 99 of them are reading and you can’t watch TV as it might disturb them, no internet, you can’t play as there is no one t0 play with. What else can ya afford to do? Of course, I must join their party and read along with them.

Well, the same thing looped for a month or so and Now, I got my first salary. I was wondering if i was worth to get it as I’ve done nothing so far other than ‘swipe in’ and ‘swipe out’

Mabbe, after training, they wil squeeze the juice outta me i guess

July 31st( Chennai)->Aug 1st( Coimbatore) -> Aug 2nd (Bangalore).

July 31st :-

I was all set for my trip to Coimbatore. It’s a 11 Hours bus journey from Chennai and I was going alone as none of my frds were int’d. My next seat was occupied by an IT professional who came from college which i’ve never even heard of, yet he was speaking so high of his college

Aug 1st : -

Reached Coimbatore at 5.30 AM and I’ve to go to a place called ‘Saravanampatti’ which is a 30 mins bus journey from Coimbatore bus stand. Wondering why I’m going there? To meet my frd ‘Jesly’and more importantly, attend a job interview with ‘Bosch’. We were having a nice chat abt bosch( as Jesly works in Bosch now)and some usual stuffs. Interview was to be held at 3PM so I had ample lot of time to prepare myself.

Also, I was carried some computer networking books with me to prepare for the interview( Not for Bosch interview but for another interview in B’lore). I ogled thro’ these books for 3 hours or so. In the meantime, Arun Raj ( my college mate) seems to be int’d in Bosch interview and crashed at jesly’s place.

Arun is quite a funny fella and if he’s around, there is no short of funny moments and here’s one among them.

Me: What have you been doing these days?

Arun: Nothing much, dude!

Me: Hey! I heard that the company you were placed,has announced that the intake will be really late. Is it?

Arun: yepp! thats true..

Me: What are you gonna do til then?

Arun: Planning to join a BPO and work for a while.

Me: You applied?

Arun: I did some stupidest things.

Me: What was that?

Arun: I never found a BPO in Salem( a town in central Tamil Nadu) and so, I searched in Google with keyword ‘BPO in Salem’. It returned so many results and I was happy to see many BPO which I’ve never seen before in Salem and started applying one after the other.

Me: any response?

Arun: Fuck! Little did i know, There was another place called ‘Salem’ in US of A and I applied to the BPOs there.

Me: ROTFL!!!

After all these moments, we reached the company and only to find that there were around 1000 pple before us waiting for the interview. We were patient and waited, waited… Atlast, we were called for 7PM batch which will take atleast 1 hour to finish. I got impatient and had to leave early as I had to catch B’lore bus. So, Flopped!!! Trip to Coimabore was a mere waste.

Now that, I was hoping to catch the b’lore bus and indeed, I was onboard. If things went well, I’d reach B’lore at 6AM.In the meantime, I fell sick. Got a throat infection which made me to speak in a tone which might hear like a Martian and things got really worse.

Aug 2nd :-

But it was one of those unlucky days,I had never imagined. At 3AM, in the mid way b/w Coimbatore and B’lore, there was a sudden tyre failure( like in Hamilton’s car, Hungarian GP ). It took nearly 2 hours to get the bus on its fresh wheels.

Reached B’lore at 8AM, only to find that I still have 10 kms to get to my cousin’s place.Thanks to Sathish Anna(my cousin) who escorted me to his house. We have to hurry as we had just 1 hour for the interview. Again Thanks to him.. He dropped me there if not.. I would have not reached there on time. The Company is… Well, you find it for yourself. Clue: San Fran’cisco’.

Phew! I finally made to the interview building only to find that, 1st round is a written type with 50 questions. in which it had only 2 programming questions, some 10 Aptitude and rest full of electronics( I’m not an electronics student, if you don’t know me).Later on, I read thro’ the interview invitation that ” Candidates from ECE/EEE/EI/Telecommunications can attend” but I was an IT Grad. F**k! I was angry at myself that I should have known it before. Asking abt results? Obviously,I won’t be selected yet I was praying to God that i shouldn’t be selected even by luck. The reason is, ‘I still have my throat infection’. With this condition,I can never proceed further in the interview.

You might call it lucky or unlucky.. Of course, I was not selected. *Sigh of relief*. Well, after all these travelling, sickness.. I went to Coimbatore and then, to B’lore just for nothing.

Went back to my cousin’s house. After playing for a few hours with 2 lovely kids of my cousin’s. I packed my bags and went to B’lore bus stand. It was the worst Bus terminal, I’ve ever seen. It took nearly 2 hours to get onboard.

Aug 3rd :-

Back to Chennai now Home sweet home.

PS: I always dreamt about writing long posts.  I guess, this post would satisfy me
