Yoohoo! Posting after 12-13 years of passing out

Hi guys,
How is everybody doing? In the current COVID related lockdown in Chennai, its given me a lot of leisure time to go through old blogs including our MexxCorner one.

Lot of memories... Good and bad. Still, thankful for those experiences that taught me a lot.

Thank you all for being a part of my life, though many of you may have not been part of my close friends circle.

My exodus from mechanical engineering began in L&T in 2010 when I started working on Operational Research models. 5 years later, with a master's degree and no jobs in OR modeling, took the next thing that was available at the time - Data Analytics @ Maersk and I've been in the logistics space since then albeit in a data engineering role.


How is everybody doing? Can we catch up on what we are doing these days?

Whatever...

Hellooooooooooo!

     i seriously doubt if anyone's even checking this blog these days.  even i've forgotten the last time i was here. but going through the old posts indeed warmed my heart... it was like opening a long forgotten diary. .sigh.. 

      anyways i thought i'll pen a new post, just in case someone steps in. I joined ITC on 9th July at Kolkata. Had a small orientation for 3 days, and then arrived at Bangalore on 12th. I had by then been selected to the Projects Division. We look after the implementation of new plants, factories and housing complexes of ITC. We had training for two months and will be posted to site on October end. So for the time being I'm at Bangalore, and things are turning out great. I'll update on whatever I know about everyone:

Prison Break

After much thought and time, i'm finally posting something. And before i go into my matter, kudos to everyone who kept thi page alive even when none cared to look this way.
So how many prison break fans do we have here? I know jeeju n john paul does, but anyone else? Well if any of you actually get around to seeing the first couple of episodes I'm sure you'd b hooked. But be warned that season 2's a spoiler. Now why in the world am i writing a post about a series that's being aired half way around the world? And that too in my come back post? Seems some guys just cant pick winners ... :) But this post came from the inspiration I got while taking a shower today- the cold water does put things into your head.. I must have been thinking about prison break because, the phrase 'serving the time' popped up into my head - and I smiled. Because that's exactly what I felt I've been doing for the last couple and then some months... Only here I was free to choose the days I spent in my prison, and if I did not follow the rules my sentence would be extended. The smart ones here must have figured out that I was talking about our own cet. A year ago if someone had said I would say these words then I might have told the poor soul to get his nuts tightened. I did love this place. Or I used to. But now, everyday I step into this college with thoughts of 'Christ! another day..' , or 'How i would love to get this thing over with'. I'm sure I must have told at least some of you that if we could somehow fast forward time till june then that would've been great.
Despite the resounding bangs of our diwali fireworks, despite the intense execution of our thenmala trip, despite the increased ferocity of our mass cuts, despite the satisfied reliefs of our placements, despite this being our final months here...our college, our class, our batch... all seem to lacking in soul, or rather, seem to have lost it. When I see the grand walls of our college, I feel that the only features lacking are a couple of floodlights and a few sentries. Apart from that the prison is for real. As for me, I'm too old to breakout. I plan to serve my time and walk away with no rear glance.

P.S: Bet this post'll win hands down for the gloomiest post of the blog, but I resumed blogging just for the sake of venting my feelings, without a care for being politically correct.

Supernatural Nature

Cows eat grass (which are good for nothing), drinks water from washed rice (which also is good for nothing else) ..... YET it gives milk !!!(contains all nutrients - so good for us) and cow dung !!! (the best fertilizer) ... Cow is truly divine ... so STOP EATING BEEF !
