Now i have done my share of spamming ... actually I have been spamming the mailboxes of every good HR in the country and what more i got interview calls from some of the biggest names.The only thing i can say is that spamming these days is very unprofessional .You can't possibly expect a geek to open mails having high degree of correlation with the previous known spam. Some of them even get the date wrong .Atleast they can have subjects starting with "regarding" like "regarding your interview","regarding your wife" etc.Now thats a kind of mail i would like to read .So if you are a budding spammer and you want to thank me for the tips then don't ....I am busy debugging my perl script.

Yahooooooo !!!!!!
Finally after a fortnight of personnel turmoil my life seems to be getting back on track. Yesterday at 18 00 hrs i had no internship offers and at 18:20 hrs i had confirmed offers from Yahoo India,Sun Microsystems , Induslogic and Interview with Intel. Talk about some fuc**** luck .
"May the fleas of a thousand camels infest their crotch and may their arms be too short to scratch",would have been the line that i would have said if Yahoo had rejected me after taking 7 interviews but i am saving that for the time i don't get a job offer.
Right now looks like I would be joining Yahoo in bangalore and then join Induslogic after 6 months.Then Leave Indus either when the company shuts down or the free cafeteria shuts down ... which ever comes first.
PS. Just a thought can an Intern technically bring down the whole Yahoo Empire in 6 months??I hope not.

My last exam
Today I gave what could very well be my last written exam of my academic life .... apart from the happiness that i feel right now ,i also realize that this marks the almost end of my college life.So what did i learn in my professional engineering course???Nothing professional atleast but i did learn some general lessons which i would implementing the whole of my lifetime but then again i think this is what the whole college education is about.Continuing with my education i learned that ....
1)There are two type of people in this world ie. the Host (The Godlike people who do all the assignments and make all the notes) and the parasites (the average who live on the assignments of the host) . For your own happiness make sure you are not a host ,parasites live a much more happy and fulfilling life.
2)Don't have a policy like "I celebrate each failure in my life with a Good dinner and a good movie".You might end up being 200 lb+ and a well known movie critic.
3)If you live in a hostel away from home town and operate a bank account based in your hometown via ATM.Then for heavensake don't ever leave your passbook with your parents.Believe me you don't want to get a show cause notice every time there is an increase in your average monthly expenditure by 10 %.
4)If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance then baffle them with your bullshit.
5)If you are roaming in the dark 3 am in night and you see a cylindrical thing moving in front of you ,then don't keep staring step back and run for your life ,that cylindrical "thing" might be a snake or a python .Many people from the urban area don't realize that they are actually standing in front of a live snake like these stupid people (my seniors :D) .Who didn't realize that the python could snap them into 2 pieces in 345 milliseconds.
6)You get ahead of your competition not because you are too smart but because your competitors are too dumb.
7)If you happen to be a chronic snoarer then sleeping in class might not be for you!!
