Adding one more to my trend
of posting Idiotic lists.
5 things about me I would not have believed about myself 10 years ago. I may come across as pompous
ass in this post, but I am just trying to remind myself that I have a reason to
be happy.
1.
10 years ago, I would have been in my second year with not much idea of how
the job scenario is; I would not have imagined /guessed working for Infosys. I didn't
realize how easy it was getting in; I was almost disappointed it was so easy
for everyone.
2.
Coming to USA. May be not a very big deal, but I definitely would not have
bet on it 10 years ago. I never imagined
myself looking from top of empire state building and saying Meh, or absolutely
chilling at Vegas casinos. Consider going to Miami beach as just another
weekend
3.
Sky Diving: Knowing that someday I would sky dive would have made my day. I
was really fit back then, and would have been more open to adventure sports. (
I guess we can also include jet skiing in this )
4.
Driving my own car. To be fair, once you come to USA it pretty much mandatory,
but I could not easily imagine myself driving (or owning) a car. I just assumed
if I was very rich and absolutely had to buy a car, I would also get a driver.:

5.
Working (even though just as a contractor) for Disney, In Disney Park. I
specifically remember reading 'The Last Lecture' and how Randy Pausch finally
got opportunity to work with Disney, and a ever so slight sadness spread across
me, knowing this can never be me :( :)
(To be fair he worked for Disney Animations which is much bigger deal). On the
same line going to every single park in Walt Disney World and getting bored of it.
Closely looking at this list it seems everything was pretty much Causation
effect of me getting placed in good IT Company and being sent to US.
I guess this has to be my last being grateful/gloating post for quite some time now. Unless you know I have near death experience or so ..
wrong time to post this...but u forgot to mention about Louuuvee..:)
