the last few months

Posted by Varun

The last few months of my life have been..let's just say, up n down.Let me explain.
In my last post I had said that I was leaving for TCS training to Coimbatore.
It was an experience I will never forget in my life.Not particularly the training or the 'company' part,but the friends I made there,the time we had there..words cannot describe the great feeling of togetherness we had in our batch. If anyone of you c43 ppl are reading this : You rock! (Correction: We Rock!).

The whole experience,the appalling hotel we were kept in,the mind numbing,Hollywood style cab-ride to the centre,the ruckus we created in life skills classes, that Dehliwale ka Chaat,the Rs2 a plate idli-sambar and the mass crying festival on the day of EC results...(:D) Those were awesome times..
Then,we were randomly allocated to centres across India. I remember the (playful) fights I had with my batch-mates about them stealing my office in Pune...Ah well,I was allocated to Mumbai (Thane to be precise.)Now don't get me wrong I love the people there,but the city has always been shit to me.every single time I've been there..
Determined to change that,I reached there for another bout of training.Here too,I spent a month learning some stuff,but made lots of friends.This was nowhere near the Coimbatore batch though,not even close.Unfortunately this is where my problems resurfaced. I suffered for 2 months from serious medical issues and as such due to the circumstances,had to leave my job.

But I'm hardly fretting over it.The upside is,I'm back in my hometown which I so passionately love,the downside is my wallet's empty...I dunno what the future holds,but my only goals now are to get well as soon as possible,and then concentrate hard for a post-graduation.

Hmm,I've never been known to type this much about myself...I usually post about others..anywho..I thought the update was called for.

Pooricher by the inch

Posted by Varun

Haven't posted in quite a while,no I haven't.It's a long story for another day..another post.
The lowdown is,I've been ill,for a couple of months now.And the nature of my illness has caused me to lose quite a lot of weight.11 kilos in 2 months,to be precise.

Now leaving aside the math,I decided to put a positive spin on it.For months on end my parents were rambling about my rapidly protruding belly (they put it down to gaming and lack of any physical activity..jumping like a maniac when my team MUFC score doesn't cut it..apparently).So just to bring the issue back up,I pulled out all my old clothes (not old really,my waist had merely expanded,rendering them useless) and mind,it's a lotta clothes,and guess what? they all fit.woohoo!! I have a completely new wardrobe now.The rack is overflowing with clothes! I'm glad I didn't give them away :D

I'm off

Posted by Varun

Perhaps you have noticed as much,I haven't been posting as regularly as I used to.No,I'm not finished blogging,quite the opposite.However,I'm now being forced to take a brief break,since I am leaving for Coimbatore tomorrow for job training.It promises to be a hectic month,but I'll try and keep everyone posted about how I'm doing.TCS' training is said to be the most fun-filled educational experience I hear,so hopefully fun times are ahead.
I'll resume regular posting when I'm back.

C ya guys!
