Sitting late night in my work bench with legs placed broadly on my work system with keyboard on my lap and tapping each key from it with the middle finger ( no puns intended) with my favorite songs reaching its highest notes through my headset and my eyes focused on the screen at its fullest !!
Reason, you might ask, but you wouldn't though. I will answer to that anyways.,
The first and most important reason is because half of the screen space is adorned by damn sexy babe as my wallpaper for my enlightenment purposes :)... So that it surely does take my mind out of work.. which is bad from the company's point of view.. but they need not have to worry on that part because that's the second reason why I am staring at the computer is because the second half of screen space is shared by a software called DW(Dream Weaver) developed by Adobe Systems, the name is really catchy and has a great meaning to it."Weaving dreams" to be much more precise designing the dreams.. Does it indeed weave dreams??? mmmmm????
Nahhh !! It doesn't weave any dream for me... though it does weave dream to my company's clients.. A dream weaved by Me...
That is my present nature of my work.. sit in-front of the computer with the DW opened and type codes using "PHP".. A name which I still have problem in abbreviating and with no ideas what so ever to code and proceed to the next step,and here everyone calls me around me as a developer.. My present situations reminds me of those fun filled tensed moments during lab examinations where I sit on for an hour or so in front of the system without knowing how to proceed after the main() in C program with internal examiner stalking around my back to shout at me.. Ahhhh, one thing that I forgot to mention for those who doesn't know me I am BE graduate in Computer Stream... So that makes me an Computer Engineer...
"Computer Engineer"-- I have a distant memory from my childhood where everyone used to ask me the same irritating question.. "Beta, Bada hoke tum kya banoge??" "Kanna,Perusu aana yenna ava neeyu??" "Kutta,veluthu aayu nee enthu aagum ??" A question that would have been probably been asked to eveyone in different dialects. In English it would be somewhat like this "Son,What is your ambition ??"...
" Abe saale whats your problem of who I would become in future ??? "
A feeling which I always wanted to express when that question was put forth in front of me. !! But I always had an answer to that question "Well I 'll be an engineer and that to an Computer Engineer" just to escape from their sneers..Funny side is that my dear father took this matter seriously and alas he bought me a seat
in an engineering college..
So, beginning a new stage of my life as a college student with intentions of studying right from the start and fulfilling my father's dream.. I set out to become an engineer.. huh !! who am I joking with.. I had other intentions in my mind, to woo a girl and get the love of my life.. but god had other plans with me... No girls were remotely interested in me :-/ .. I just had my books as my companion and my friends who were actually nerds were all getting committed :/... that is when i learned "Life is a Bitch Mate".... well my plans didn't exactly work though, but i was able to procure my 3 fr enemies.. one who is sitting at home waiting to get placed in IIT.. other one who is my best chap who is coincidentally is my colleague too., and the third one who is still fighting with me for fun..
College life went well, with lot of fun, little bit of trouble and more less of studies.. At those times Engineers were considered a laughing stock. it was recession time and everyone had the chance to become an engineer.. See I myself am an example for that.. I was never really bothered.. I would still say to everyone one that I want to be an computer engineer(Software Professional) because I had no other go other than that :-/ See that's the fate.. In my 3 rd year when I did answer to that question I got a cute reply from a person.
"You an Engineer !! Really ?? Ohhhh wow I always wanted to talk to an engineer ?? "
I never understood that was a mockery for being an engineer :) !!! After crossing every hurdles placements arrears and everything I finally wrote my final exam and departed from the college as an Engineer.. Then it was time to search for a job.. My ego made me to hunt for a job that was related to what I studied and I did get the job that is why I am sitting here right now writing this blog with my mind at peace because this job has finally taught me everything. My ambition was never to became an computer engineer but something else which I would reveal to guys later. I don't hate my present job.. I love it a bit more because it has taught me this is not the place where I belong and made me to revise my future plans :) !!!!
With Hopes.,
