Of Jobs, Blogs and being fantastical...

Am glad to be back. Got a temporary reprieve I should say. Had been working without pay for last two months and again short of cash but finally the salary came in. Thought I'd celebrate that with a posting here. Am still in the trenches but atleast I can financially survive the battle that needs to be fought now. Well thats the easiest part. Dealing with the whimsical nature of my mind will be the tough part...this time hopefully prior experience will soften the blows idleness and my ego will keep landing on me while the battle lasts. The funny thing abt blogging is that its like a personal diary thats out there for the world to read...I sort of like that...having faced the ordeal of my sister sneaking on my diary and relishing the deeply private incidents I penned down from the bottom of the heart. With time the heart recedes allowing the mind to rule...thats wht u call growing older! Well my diary writing got nipped in the bud thanks to ms.poke-ur-nose's blackmailing besides the embarassing effects diary writing had on a certain viswanatha prasad who had to bear the mortification of seeing his deeply personal agenda's, poems, thoughts and fancies becoming the object of corporate broadcasting that wud have made bbc proud by us prying savages. Anyways it feels good to be blogging as it has sort of started substituting the long emails I used to torture my poor classmates in college and school with thru the yahoogroups.Guess I have been talking in riddles up till now!

Anyways getting back to context I am gonna be jobless and out in the ruthless market in two days. I was offered the option of working remotely(tele-commuting) but I said Thanks,but no thanks....the confidence seemed justified as it looked as though I had all but sewed up an interview for an IT consulting job...and well I hired the guy who is gonna replace me too and is training him now while I face the ignominy of another spell of unemployment. Lady Luck's blue-eyed-boy that I always fancied myself to be has been getting black-eyed from the countless mishaps in the job-hunt. From the high-and-mighty IBM to the low-and-measly SMS.ac I have'nt yet figured out why I cant make the best of my interviews and jobs. My dad says I am going thru a sheni dasha until this september. Viswan noted the irony when he said I bought the Saturn around the same time. Anyways dunno whts the big change thats gonna happen afterwards. Well there are always silver linings and the move to LA, getting back with friends, being able to got to the kerala store and watching malayalam movies at the theatre gives me a sort of thrill(must admit am nowadays so used to looking at the brighter side of things sometimes beyond reason too). The catch is having to leave beatiful, clean and safe San Diego for the polluted, crowded and dangerous Los Angeles. Anyways lots of work to get done besides the job search....finding temporary accomodation until All-fools day, a new apartment, moving stuff...routine life affords me with nothing to rite on, when i get back hopefully there will be a lot to write about. ....dunno when i'll blog again...am looking for the rite job, this time, so that I dont think of another hop from Day1...
