Spent about a day with my friends from BITS… Saw one of my friends whom I have known from school and BITS get married… it’s a different kinda feeling when you see one of your girl friends get married! It’s that feeling of letting go of a protected one! :-) Don’t know why I always look at the stage and wonder if they are too young to get married…

We with the lucky ones…

Spent another day explaining to one and all what the new job is about… it was tougher than I expected! When everyone they know is into IT, how do I answer questions like “Why wouldn’t they send you on long term projects to the US?”, “Why do you have to travel in your job?”, “Why do you have to work in Mumbai?”, “Why do you have to work long hours?”…

How do I explain I am not going to work with ICICI Bank but with ICICI Securities!!! How do I explain why I choose I-Sec over Infy!!

How do I stop the world from talking about other’s salaries and just talk about the job?

Read a book ‘For Matrimonial Purposes’ which I had bought on Simran’s recommendation last week… Part One of the book was a great read… I was laughing aloud in the train!! I could relate to Anju in the book so much in the first part alone… My sis read some pages and acknowledged that Anju complains about the same intricate details of Indian Marriages as I do!

Some first steps… Some scary expectations… a rude awakening… Am I different? Need to give myself some time and think!!

Term 8 begins… bunked the first day of classes as I came back yesterday evening… attended my first IT management elective today (need to complete a second major)… hated it as much as I can… dropped it as soon as possible!! So am going to be doing Advanced Corporate Finance, Behavioral Finance, Negotiation Analysis and IT Services Project Management… For a difference, two smart women professors teaching us this term.

Two friends (the only two I interact with outside campus in this city) have left Hyderabad in the past 15 days! Sometimes feel like my mobile seems to have stopped working!!
