Placement Screw-ups
2008 began with a big banging placement season at my campus. For an average Indian engineering student the placement season is the most crucial time in life. You can either make it or break it by just one simple mistake. In my case I made a hell lot of mistakes. I did make it with a couple of offers by the end of the placement season but I missed the so called ‘dream’ companies!
Valentine and My quest for love!
I was once told that I’ll never find true love in anyone. To hell with true love, I can’t even find plain love. Or even fake love! This Valentine’s I made up my mind to tell her that she’s the queen of my dreams, mere sapnon ki raani and my true love. Just when I thought I had everything by my side I saw her zoom past me with another guy by her side. That didn’t break my heart though and I planned to never give up. I tried my hand at almost 10 different chicks that very day using the stuff I had bought for my sapnon ki raani! Nothing worked.
Project Failed to launch!
It was my dream to be involved in something that would be the next big thing in technology. I was closely working on a project in telecommunications with a couple of buddies. We managed to pool in the capital and the development was kicking in. We had a strong prototype in our hands and we slept each night dreaming of the millions we could make out of this super project. Six months of pure hard work and when we approached a private telecommunications firm, we were told that they already have something very similar to what we had developed. We came back and Google shocked us with some eye opening results. Seems like a chap from Japan came up with the exact thing three years ago. Moral of the story, Google extensively before dreaming millions.
Miss Understanding!
I have this girl friend of mine (the space is intentional) who is so understanding that I sometimes have my own doubts about her. I messed up with something and tried to cover up by lying to this girl. The thing is that she knew I was lying and still didn’t respond with any odd behavior. It was only till last week when we were having an informal chat online she told me that she knew I was lying. It made me feel bad and I’ll never lie to her again.
PC burnt down
Ask any geek how it feels if their PC goes down for a day and you’ll find tears in their eyes. I left my PC in some messy condition, switched on, for a hell lot of time, knowing that the CPU fan wasn’t functioning properly. The result? My six year old machine went up in flames. My parents scolded me real bad, this was the first time I has been grounded in 5 years. Moreover I was not able to check mails, Orkut scraps or blog during my vacations. It did teach me a lot of lessons.
So what were your top WTF moments from 2008?
