Who me?

Born 24 25 years ago in the city of Ahmedabad, I now stay (and work) in Pune, New Delhi Mumbai. I like reading books and tinkering with things. My favourite colour is blue, favourite comic strips are Calvin and Hobbes and Piled Higher and Deeper and favourite poem is Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. I especially love the last stanza. I want to write a book, get a PhD, become a professor, invent a thing or two and become famous. Of course I wouldn't mind having a little (or lot of) fun on the way.

NOTE - I no longer blog here. Everything on this blog except for this line is as it is when I stopped blogging here. I now blog at http://varun.net.in/blog/

Bye Bye Delhi, Hello Mumbai!

This is my last week in Delhi. I am moving to Mumbai next week to puruse a new opportunity!

Same company and same group but different project altogether. Not only a different project but a different job profile and one that is full of challenges. Needless to say I am really excited and all geared up to go.

I will keep this post short because I am really really short of time. More details in the next post.

This weekend will be spent in good old Ahmedabad as planned. I have missed Navratri for 2 years in a row now so this time I made it a point to be in Ahmedabad for Navratri. Many of my friends are also there in Ahmedabad so I am going to have a ball of a time.

That's all for now. Over and out.

Just another update

Monday morning. Lots of work at office and here I am sitting at home blogging and checking my email. Am actually waiting for roomies to get ready since we try and go together to office to cut down on the auto-rickshaw fare.

It is damn hot here in Delhi. The rains in Ahmedabad are nothing compared to those in Kerala. And the rains in Delhi are nothing compared to those in Ahmedabad. Not even once, in Delhi, have I felt that monsoons had come. The rains come and go like screensavers, by the time you realise that it is raining it is gone.

Experience: 2 years

Submitted by varun on Wed, 23/08/2006 - 3:57pm.

On this day, 2 years ago, I joined my current company. It has been a very interesting 2 years with lots of ups and downs, both on the professional front and personal front. In these 2 years I have seen 4 new cities (Trivandrum, Pune, Mumbai and Delhi), gone through around 2 or 3 job profiles, picked lots of new skills, made lots of new friends, lost touch with some friends, lived alone far away from my family and probably morphed into an adult. I still am not sure about the last part but well that's me.
