Well, what do I write?

Argh! It was bad idea to split out the blog into a personal blog and official because now I don't have much to write. There is hardly any difference between work and life for me and if I can't write about my work I don't know what I will write about. Anyway, the good thing is the work blog has process in place and it would be definitely update by Monday every week. Here's the Inez Finserve Blog


One thing I could do is to intro the people whose blogs I read. Here I go:

Kalyan:

Ex-Trilogian. Now a Microsoftie :-(
Very Techie. Slightly Geekish.
Don't take my word for it. Read his blog and draw your own conclusions :-)

We go a long way back: The first time we met was in the summer of '96. Apex Institute sponsored a trip to Bombay. Well, he was a JEE top ranker and there was some counting error in my case :-)

We joined CS@IITM. Kalyan quickly started pouring over CS tomes and established himself firmly near the top in terms of Branch Position. I was accomplishing something similar. Only thing is, it was at the other end.

Anyway, all the Trilogians who moved to Microsoft either slowed down quite a bit after going there or got bored and came back to Trilogy. Not Kalyan, he just picked up more speed. You can read his blog and see that for yourself.

Vishal: Ex-Trilogian. Now@IIMA :-) Great Guy. Really Sweet and Really Smart. 99.99%ile in CAT 2003!!! Whenever I was getting complacent in my CAT prep, I could look at him see that I had a long way to go!

Right now, he is topper in IIMA!!!! He will join Merrill Lynch (At a salary that will most probably be approaching a Crore. Leaving a 10+ salary at Trilogy was worth it you think?).

Anyway, if you read his blog, you wouldn't realize all this. You will most probably be like "Is he Holden Caulfield's elder brother?"

Dharma: Was a Trilogian. Became a Microsoftie for 3 weeks :-( Now again a Trilogian. Dharma and me were flat mates for long time. Most of that time we used to have one discussion or the other. It is not so easy to carry on a conversation with Dharma because he will go off in tangents to whatever you are talking about. And after a while, he starts making up theories. For ex: "Theory of Thoughtons". Don't ask me what it is about. I just know the name of the theory. He is always excited something or the other. I don't understand any of the things he writes in his blog. If you do, please let me know.

Cool! That introduces the first three blog links. I'll intro the rest in some other post.

Thoughts on Blog Counter:

I am not really whether the counter below is running properly. It is showing 100+ page hits which seems unrealistic, I can't think more than 10 people who read my blog. If it continues to runaway like this we probably have to count unique visitors as well.

Also a shout box would be a good idea for the visitors to make their presence felt instead of posting a comment.
