If my zodiacal constellations portend that Cisco, as an employer and I, as an employee are going to be profited by me being located at 37.30° N 121.87° W rather than at 12.97° N 77.56° E, during the time the earth makes its revolution around the sun after I turn twenty five till I grow older by one more year, then I don't think I have any reason to refute the auguries that are betokened upon me. I'm not sure if I could've ever bungled it up any further, I too didn't understand when I read it. If you think you got it, you're a genius. Whoever you're, read ahead!
Why did I have to fly down to BITS after having got admitted to the Madras Medical college, why did I choose to join Tata Elxsi and got posted in Bangalore when I had some other offer elsewhere, how did I stumble into Cisco when I had almost decided I was going to Spain to work for Vitelcom, why did the product that I worked on for the last two years reach a stage where it had zero bugs and I was made jobless in my BU - though I know I had my own set of contributions to each of what had happened in my life ever since I started to understand the bigger meaning of life, sometimes I feel everything in the universe is just a puppet being operated by Someone Somewhere!
I always felt every single soul's being watched and what it gets might be based on complex calculations that the mortal human mind might not understand. Somehow, small incidents here and there, gathered stories from time to time keep bolstering up these realizations. I got my plot in Bangalore one year back, couldn't start my construction till now and doesn't look like I will be able to in the next one year either. Who's your friend, where do you live and with whom, who're all around you, what do you do, I thought it was the subject who decides all these, but then I am forced to believe that there's something else operating behind the scenes and making it appear as if the subject was responsible for what's been happening!
I guess I'm digressing too much from what I wanted to say, but then I have nothing more to say because I've already said what I had to say in the first few lines, all those that followed are just to make my rant look mystified and to give it a solemn appearance.
Dear friends, I will be joining the Vikings of San Jose, California for the next few quarters if things are going to proceed as expected. Now, this was a complete surprise to me as it is to you right now, because I didn't absolutely know an iota of what had been happening when I went home a few weeks back. When I came back, I saw a meeting scheduled with the HR manager and then I had to gather everything about what was in the pot; I never watched it, so looks like it has boiled! So, after the East coast, I guess it's now time for me to drive on the roads of the West coast.

Welcome to SJ Naren! May you decide to make your stay longer than the expected term ;-)
ReplyDeletehmm.. i hope you find fun, happiness and all the good things life have to offer (like sex, drugs, guns and pimps) in US.
ReplyDeletethe first few lines were too good da. all the best and when are you comin to the west coast?
ReplyDeleteI'm flying on the 12th of this month.
ReplyDeleteLets consider this, if something is operating to give a feel of being in control, it should have controlled everyone alike. Why is that there is a disparity among people ?
ReplyDeleteSo do you and I have a choice. Its an interesting topic and Iam willing to argue on either sides ;) Try reading God debris and the religion war of scott adams.
Nice post.
"I always felt every single soul's being watched and what it gets might be based on complex calculations that the mortal human mind might not understand."
ReplyDeleteTo me the disparity is because we tend to look at a change w.r.t. a reference. As the reference keeps moving away, people start losing track of it. Slowly they disinherit the ability to understand what's going on. A disparity to you might not be so for someone else. Some people call this infinite reference as God, some others call it nature, a few, something else, others say it's all nonsense. But then whether you agree or don't agree, you can only cheat yourself and hide the truth but not erase it. Ok, lemme stop my trumpet and read Scott Adams now. :)
