Going home :)

... And its a beautiful world...
Scattered with different shades
That paint my life so well...
With a colour that never fades!!!

Celebration - This word brings in many memories before my eyes. I guess celebration is not just about festivals that come only in a particular time of the year. Its about celebrating life, celebrating the beautiful moments that I relish so very much, celebrating friendships and the company of wonderful people, celebrating togetherness as well as sometimes even solitude.

But for now, wishing you all a very Happy Durga Puja.

Yes I am happy today

Ask me not the reason

And happiness comes this way

For no cause, no season :)

Imprints

... But there will still be moments in future
When a stranger would look back and say
Those imprints that you see on time
Are traces that she left on her way.

Time is all powerful. I have always wondered and even complained at the omnipotence of time. Our inability of stopping it, holding on to cherished moments, fast forwarding the ones we dont like, reviewing the ones we missed...

But may be its sometimes the omnipotence of time that actually make the moments worthwhile. If we could do all those things that I mentioned above, we would have taken time for granted, we would have never strived to make each coming moment better than the one that has left. I always wanted to think that life has to be lived in the present but I do not regret to keep away some of my precious moments for remembering the past or dreaming the future. And probably, the share that I keep away is actually a large one :D.

When we look at past, what comes to our mind are the marks that time has left on its way, the traces that can be viewed only individually. Sometimes I have wondered if it was possible to leave a trace on time - just like that. It has been a sense of wonder only...

Some things take time to sink in. I am still trying to grab my piece of cake and realise how large it is. Life keeps moving, and it better do so for when it stops at times, the moments become too large to hold. But once in a while we all look forward to some milestones in our journey - some just to help us look back and some to which even stragers can look back.

[I don't know how much of this post made sense to you but if it did not, I am sorry. You see by now you must have come to know that my cerebral journey can often lead you to some absolutely strange and insane lanes :D ]

Dreams come true

"Miracles have a way of happening to those who believe in them."

I did, I do, I will... forever.

This post is a heartfelt gratitude for all the wonderful things I have had and for all the wonderful things that await me. This includes the people who have been a constant support for me.

On the strike of 00:00 hrs on 9th Sept 2006, yet another of my dream comes true. I get selected in Fair Isaac - the best company I could have thought of. My dream job! I did not apply in some of the other most wanted comapanies just because I wanted to sit for this one. At those times I didn't care whether FI will take me or not, I just wanted to sit for this one because this was the best that was offered to me.

I wanted to be here but I wasnt sure. There was just one small voice that kept telling me that I can take a chance and I just wanted to follow it. But the blow came when I came to know that probably my resume had not been short-listed. Then taking the advice of some friends and listening to that small voice of mine, I took a second chance and re-submitted my resume. Most probably my resume had never reached them and they short-listed me for the written among some 120 people (may be) after the re-submission.

Next I saw my name among the 13 people who had cleared the written and then I thought even this is worth relishing. Then after 3 rounds of interview, and waiting for some 2 hrs (just 2 hrs!, I thought I had waited for more than that!), I found myself shaking hands with the FI people for being selected as one of them!!!! :)

I have no more words. I am thrilled!!!
Thank you God. You have answered a lot of my queries.
