First Blog..

Everyone has one.. so will I. That is a plausible reason but I didnt have one thus far cuz I am lazy to write. Probably that explains why my many childhood attempts to maintain a diary failed miserably (not to mention the fact that my sister always found a way to read my diaries which made me give up on my privacy). But I love to sit n think about things... never cared so much to log them somewhere so that I can review the things that I think about at a later point in time. 

I contemplated for long on what my first blog should be about and decided at the end that nothing is better than writing about myself :). So there you go.. an elevator pitch on myself. 

I am a computer engineer turned soon-to-be b-school grad. The MBA bug bit me sometime around my teenage when I did not even know what it stood for. All I cared about were the blazers and stilleto heels and meetings about god-knows-what in big airconditioned rooms. So, the journey started with me being a skinny 17-yr old battling to get into one of the oldest and most reputed engineering colleges. In hindsight, I don't remember planning to get into Anna University ever. It was a given according to me... I always pointed to the red building as my college everytime we crossed it on our way to Shakes and Creams. And so it became. Four years - lotta learning. For the first time in my life I saw people bettering me. There was one time in my third semester when I actually had tears that I will never be able to make it through the competition. But somehow I scrambled my way through and landed at Microsoft. About three years later I started to plan for the biggest milestone of my life and in April '09 I will have the MBA degree under my belt. 

So that is my short life history. I will tell more about the different things I have come across in these 25 yrs (Damn.. I am getting old) later on. For starters I just wanna say one thing.. "Life is beautiful..."
