Fun through forwards!

Recently, I've received quite a few E-mail forwards from people I know, where there's been some 'Software Engineer Bashing'. Most of them have been projecting Software Engineers as Big Losers who live away from Home, Miss their friends, hate their job, Speak a lot of jargon etc etc (I'm sure you got the point).
Now, Since I'm neither a S/W Engineer nor did I ever Aspire to be one, Lemme share this Fwd.
It's Apparently the Profile of some S/W guy posted on Orkut (It's an Online community thing). Read on!

Signboards.

That's The Signboard of TCS going up at the Bangalore office of the erstwhile Tata Infotech Ltd. So now I'm a TCSer and not a TILian :)

To the Moon and back!

Well..of course, i am equating my trip back home as a trip to the Moon. 9 days of Bliss they were! And now that I'm back in bangalore, I am badly missing the things back home..badly missing Mumbai for that matter!

This never happened to me when I originally moved here about 6 months ago. And I guess I'm being too dramatic about this! But it was really cool to get back home to family and friends, to get back to Mumbai, the townside with it's splendid Seafront (which I just cannot stop Missing), to ride the crowded Local trains and the magnificient BEST buses (the red wonder). Missing all that and much more...hanging out with friends,spending endless hours with them talking nonsense, the movies......the list goes on.

And thanks to my friends, I had a fabulous birthday. We did so much nonsense stuff...I just can't seem to get enough of that. I'm telling you...Mumbai rules!

Back to work now though....I hope I get through this week and then I know it's all going to be back to normal ;)
