2008 : A year to celebrate game called Life

So that's the end of what i can say 366 days of learning and living. Not often I'm seen flying high ....
As expected year started on a sour note ... expected better grades from 5th sem (especially coz of efforts done) but again that magic figure of 9 was far away.

But as i always say, a failure is not a failure untill you learn lessons out of it, that day i decided to work with better vision to reach that mark. But then the much expected gift, got my baby "Hunk-Hero Honda Marvel" through the pocket of my brother. But then the month of January passed down with the grief of shocking performance in Placement-mocks, it seemed like all is lost but again with motivations from seniors,friends and family I was all ready to rediscover myself.

Then it was all usual semester routine and somewhere in between the news of joining date of my sister, we all celebrated that day like its a new beginning. April passed adding another year to my fast growing age, I was an adult now or better to say eligible bachelor but still searching the lady luck.

Somewhere I was not satisfied with my Placement preparations and then the expectations of better grade, gave my final exams with full zeal only to be lost in the game of "Artifical Intelligence" where the Numero Uno grade was lost by 1 mark and so is the gradeline.

Then there was grueling 60 days of Placement prep ...

But who knew that amid these dark days there will be a beam of light that will change my life's course forever. July was on corner, Campus-Recruitment started with bang but my expectations was on sweet August. As expected Yahoo,Net app,Adobe all three giants came n went.

Then it was 22nd July, Cisco was in campus ... nothing was on stake thus null to loose.
I gave the written with keeping God in brain n leaving all aside, that night rather morning... my door was knocked yet again ... there was Arihant with the result of written. I was through, finally a ray of light, it was already 2'o clock in morning so 6 hrs and loads to be revised.

Time was running out so was my patience, then followed the long wait to interviews ... it was only in evening that my turn came.
It was gud more than wot i had expected, cool n chilled i was so were they. And then the stroke of results, finally the wait was over, good news came through and who knew it was going to be the best day ever ... yaa I'm through Cisco. Then it was a week full of celebrations.

But then again there is lots of other thing in life that keeps you busy, sometimes takes a toll on you. All was well with me but not much was well with India and the world, recession was spreading like an epidemic. Day by day big giants were giving up to this epidemic and then it was novemeber, as usual a month which brings along that chill cold. Funny it is, the hazy morning and Icy winds, they always try to wake you up with whispers but you never want to leave that cozy bed.

Admist all this arrived the day of terror, 26th Nov 2008. A day which none of us can forget, our very symbol of prosperity was hit .. Mumbai was again under the dark clouds of terror. 70 hours of bloodbath and then the heroic of NSG commando. Mumbai was recollected but at a cost which will hold its forte for long in the history logs.

That's why i always say ..

"I get knocked down ..But I get up again.. You are never going to Keep me down !! This is what INDIA means to me ... !!"

Life was back on track but anger was not gone, after all how long one can stand still seeing so much trauma. Still till this very date all options are open and I'm sure we will teach those bastards a lesson to be remembered.

So this may be tragic end to a very challenging year which was won by me and I'm sure would be won by my country too !!
