I wish I were....

"We are seeking Tester candidates for a full-time temporary, non-exempt, non-benefited position. It is a requirement of the position that you are able to work forty or more hours per week (including nights and weekends as needed) playing video games in front of a computer and/or television for extended periods utilizing controllers or other devices."

The above excerpt is picked up from a well known Gam-er's(ing) company, EA.com. Hmm.. ask a gamer, what this job would be like. You do what you love to and get paid for it!! This sounds like some offer :) . The best part is you could be asked to work ('um play) over weekends.

Just thinking about this makes me feel like saying "I'm Lovin it!"

This cake looks good, but how does it taste like??

SKOAR! Gaming Expo

SKOAR! 2007

I being a Gamer myself and a big fan of SKOAR! Mag., luckily got a chance to visit Pragati Maidan, Delhi on 26th -27th of January.
Well, the fact being this was my first ever chance to visit a "Gaming Expo", I was quite excited to be there, and was not much impressed with the organization of the same!!
The show maker for me was the "XBox!" display. I like the damn piece and wish to own one soon. Rest there was CS:CZ and some other games hosted by many to try your hands on.
In one line "SKOAR!!, you missed the ROAR that you very well show in your mags.!" Be better, best next time :)

Milestone Two and Lucky 22

November 22, 2006:

Ok, Right Back after exactly 2 months. I guess the number 22nd is turning out to be very very lucky for me.
Well, earlier it was an award and now it's turn for "Reward". If you couldn't guess it till now, let me disclose it: "Aahhaa! Jiska mujhe tha intazar, my first salary increment. I just have one word - Wow!!!"

I was feeling low these days, due to some problems with my room mates (not friends to me any more). To add on to this, I got sick with all sorts of health problems, just saw a physician yesterday. And, in the evening just before snacks time, my super boss, Siddhesh drops me a mail saying "Can you please drop by " and I was like what has happened. When I meet him, he handed me the letter and .......

"Congrats Aditya!" - you have done it again.

Just one more thing to add, this appraisal was due from the company as it was under paying all it's employees and had decided to revise it for all the deserving candidates.

Hmm.. Today the day was MINE

Milestone One

22nd of Sept, 2006 :
This day was really great for me.

I received +ve remarks from my boss and my super-boss. Not only this I was appraised by a certificate proof for my work. Well ofcourse not monetary, but such motivations play an important role in my life.
After all hardship I went through in my internship, I am finally happy to have this acknowledgement. This is my first appraisal in my professional life and I am really excited about it. It's given me strength to carry on.
I have just made one statement which fits appropriate for my situation

"Impossible has always transformed to I'm Possible. It's just the transition, for some cases, that took longer"

Thanks to all my well-wishers, but mostly Kaushik (my boss) who showed faith in me and gave me the responsibility of the work.

What's my passion??

Well!! I have a long list, but let me just stick to one of those which is effectively inculcated into my career path now. Yes, you have guessed that right(if you have), It's the COMP!!
Ok here's a secret about me now : I have a huge collection of GAMES, SONGS, SOFTWARES ( Around 500+ CD's and DVD's). I carry almost all of my collection every where I go. By the way, the Pic here shows my passion about computers, I can live without food but not this box ( lol.. jus kiddin.. I do take eating breaks..)

Arey Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai??

"Bade Bahiya Chote Bhaiya"

This pic is again taken by my Dad, Cool isn't it!!

And if you have not yet guessed, the big kid is my elder bro (Punit Bhai) and the small one is ME.

Any ways do you notice the bond between us.. believe me it's the SAME till now and I pray that it remains so for ever..

My brother is my best "Friend", yes in qoutes bcoz.. he literally is like my friend, he knows every thing about me and I guess I have the same knowledge about him too..

Again the dress we'r wearing.. I jus love that and especially the Caps.. aren't they Cool!!

That's Me

"Bachpan Ke Din.."

Yes, This is my childhood pic.. I like the innocence of the pic and ofcourse the "pony (choti as we call it in hindi)"

The cork box was my favourite toy

This pic was taken by my Dad...He has a huge collection (and passion) of family photography..

I have inherrited the same from him...I have taken it one step further with the collection of photographs with my frens.
