my year of 2008

2008 was supposed to be a very important period for me..but it turned out to be different... 2008 started with a huge hope of getting into a dream company( me being a final yr student @ 8th semester) .Friends started talking about companies, salaries shifting bases to bangalore and so on... days passed on... assessments came and went ... enjoyed staying @ friends's house..night studies ....gossips chit chats... Then came the semester exams... my tough days started here... My grand mother was counting her last days... she passed away peacefully a day before my last exam ... Then followed days of commotions and confusions... Attended few companies now and then...
Some companies tested my patience mainly tallika and ibm ... both giving me high hopes of getting placed ..but only to reject me after many weeks...
My brother's marriage was round the corner keeping my family members occupied most of the time...
Then came a sudden storm in my life, when i came out of Cypress interview in Bangalore, a call from unknown number, giving me the shock of my life....
The following weeks were the most painful days of my life... with yet another incident acting like adding salt to bruise...
It made me understand the real meaning of fraction of a second, our live's worth, meaning of sorrow and list goes on...
Finally got placed in core company (Force10 networks) found new friends, a new chapter in my career had started... and it goes on...

In total, 2008 was supposed to be a turning point in my life...In fact it was... but it came at the cost of my dear friend...

Hoping 2009 would be smooth...
