Me and Diwali, the mastercard way! :D
Clothes : 3,300 INR
Crackers : 4,200 INR
Irritating the A-cube neighbor with "nonstop" fireworks : Priceless.
There are some things that money can't buy.
For everything else there's ATM.
ATM = A Talented Magnate.
Of course, my dad!

Occupation - Pre-Employment?
THEN.
June 2008
I made the most of my holidays after degree, thinking...
a) I won't have spare time when I start working
b) I have had 20 years of education. I deserve a break.
Mom agreed to it (surprisingly!). It was okay to wake up late (by late I mean 11 AM) and it was okay to surf the net for hours at length, it was okay to meet friends whenever you want!
Life was bliss.
I deserved it. Didn't I slog through my Engineering(I indeed had my share of fun as well)? Didn't I work hard during Post-Grad?
Life was bliss.
Until...
NOW.
Oct 2008
Of recent, every other form I have to fill up has a column saying "Occupation". What do I fill in there?
Student (I'm no more one!) or a short explanation of Lehman brother's Bankruptcy and the downward-spiraling economy of the US affecting my date of joining? Well, I don't have enough space in the latter case. After all is "unemployed" an Occupation?
If application-forms give me nightmares, you should know what the highly specialized species "Homo sapiens" do. Every other curious Aunty asks me -
X : "How is work ma?"
me(feeble voiced) : Aunty, I haven't got my DOJ yet.
X : You aren't trying anywhere else?
me : No Aunty, I thought I'll wait. I've to wait only for a couple of months.
Is it going to be just another couple of months???
To wait or not to wait. That is the question.

He wanted to say..
.. these verses by RF.
"My words are nearly always an offense.
I don't know how to speak of anything
So as to please you. But I might be taught
I should suppose. I can't say I see how.
A man must partly give up being a man
With women-folk."
- Robert Frost
But being a man of words he did not want to waste words and left in silence. A love-smitten-young-man with mesmerizing eyes. Who knows that words can hurt more than the gnawing of a love bug.
I seek forgiveness my Lord. Thou art my firth.
