Finally ....
The patience has paid off, I have got a job offer in a field of my interest and in a company of my liking. It is System Software Engineer at ST-Ericsson. After a long long time ( more than a year or so) I slept with a calm and relaxed mind. Now I am just waiting for my first day of work :).
Congratulations to me :).

India
Oh yeah, I left USA for India on 1st January, what a way to kick start the year :).
Though the enthusiasm was short lived and after a week in India I was thinking did I make a mistake :P, should have I taken those stupid QA/BA jobs. Well done is done, wrong or right now I am staying in India for a few years, anyways I never have been afraid to make mistakes :D.
January kept me very very busy at home and online for very different reasons and people, soon I will write a post about that too.
But for everyone who wants to contact me in India can do it on my phone 98 18 09 09 47 or my email.

Social Networking Full Stop
A few weeks back I had decided to quit Orkut simply because it had become too obsolete when compared to Facebook. Today I decided to quit Facebook too, I just don't like the fact that I should be making changes to my privacy settings each day just because Mr. Mark Zuckerberg wants to add more billions to his already over-flooded bank accounts. If you are going to make sooooooooooooo much money of me, you better provide me a service which makes me money or you share your money with me in some way or at the very least donate some money to charity in my name. I am not going to feed your greed for the rest of my life. My problem is not with people making money, my problem is with people stepping on my privacy and freedom to make money. Mark Zuckerberg has clearly lost the vision if any he had behind FB.
IMHO social networking is anyways over-rated, its nothing more than a cheap way to amuse myself reading other people's status messages or spat comments on pictures and other gossip. I have promised myself I will find myself much better ways to relax and amuse myself. For months now I was telling myself that FB is nothing more than waste of time, energy and my eyesight. These new privacy settings have given me the perfect catalyst to do the right thing. I may have been stupid enough to get sucked into the BS in the first place but I am not stupid enough to stay stuck.
Anybody who wants to stay in touch with me please read my blog to get an insight into my life and of course you are free to call me on my phone.

Back to India
A few days back I decided to move back to India for now. I am not doing this out of my own will but I am being forced into it because of financial and visa related issues. It has become practically impossible to spend any more dollars in America and my current work permit expires in February, so realistically speaking I do not see my current future improving anytime soon in America.
Hence, the obvious move back home where jobs are still up for grabs and of course I would be living at home. I am just standing on the verge of taking the flight, I have already sold all my valuable excesses on Craigslist, invaluable ones were made to mate with the trash bags. But the most cherished of my assets (My Car) still remains with me and as soon as I find a buyer for it I will be flying back home in a span of couple of days.
It seems it was just yesterday when I had taken the Lufthansa flight to Syracuse from India, in reality it has been three years and four months since then. Time flies by faster than anything else and it seems even faster when you look back at the happier days standing in the muddle of this economic recession. In more ways than imaginable the recession has destroyed lives, mentally financially psychologically career confidence are just to name a few. A year back from now I was determined to face all this with all my might and come out successful, but today I stand defeated and worst of all I have accepted defeat. I have lost my mentality to fight against odds and I think for the rest of my life I would be preparing myself for such catastrophes that might befall me. 2009 has changed me more than the previous twenty four years of life, and now I just hope all this change is for good.
I am desperately waiting for just any one good thing to happen to me and trust me when I say, my standards of good have dropped drastically in the last one year.

New Desktop
I am bored as hell, hence this invention.
The bars on the left and right are the bars from spectrum analyzer from Winamp playing the song, took me four hours to tweak it to its current form.
Rest is Rainmeter and Evil Lyrics and of course Object Dock at the top.

Klueless 5
Every November I play Klueless and have been doing so for the last four years, it is more of a religion to me than Cricket. Honestly speaking the game is really awesome, progressively the levels get harder and harder and its quite fun to solve them all.
I had been waiting for it for quite some time, even had a bookmark to the page since the last 15 days or so. 2009 was not going to be any different and I started on Klueless the very hour it started and was doing pretty good too in terms of progression. I was on level 31 when I discovered that there were going to be 38 levels and that's when lightning struck. I felt cheated and betrayed, IMHO the moderators/creators have clearly abused their right of ownership of the game, it is like South Africa deciding that all matches in the world cup shall last 120 minutes instead of the regular 90 and we will tell this to the players once they have already played their 90 minutes. I call it abusing your powers and I am not one of those who is going to bend down to any kind of abuse by anybody. So as a protest I am leaving the game at level 31.
I promise to play it again next year if the owners/moderators decide to respect the sanctity of the game and play by the rules.
