I have quit my job!
Over the past year friends and family have been asking me what am I doing? And I always managed to escape with some excuse. Often telling things that I was doing years back. However the fact remains that I worked in a very secretive environment.
Last year I was approached by a rather unusual startup. What they did is secondary; but the point it was that none of us were ever allowed to reveal about our work, our team members or any other details. Yeah creepy, but it was the nature of business that required us to do so.
When I first heard the idea I said it to them “This wont work”! But the work they had already done and the money promised was too much to resist. It was challenging. And I sure did live up to the task. Being one of the top performers in the 17 member team; I find myself to be a changed person now. Annkur@2007 was way too different than Annkur@today! And this change prompted me to QUIT without spending even a day more working for those SICK B*&%&^*!
So what is this organization about?
How people say things over the WWW (Part 1)
- Shall I buy a MacBook Air? = U know मेरे पास बहुत पैसा है / I am very rich!
- Girl: You know I had a fantastic outing, night out with friends, movie and this this this person was there. = Loser, you asked me out and I went with them 😛 (Jealous?)
- I am so excited I am going to meet my cousins. Its been 10 years since they shifted to US. = [I am going on a foreign trip]
- What is the best tool to do xyz … = Yeah go ahead and tell me what you use; I will prove m smarter than you!
- Scrap: Not seen you since long? Where have you been? = When the hell are you returning my BOOK!
Keeping it short as per feedback received; will post Part II soon (Suggestions Welcome)

Though the video is a Red Hat promotional its highly inspirational.

Shopping with Mom
After ages I went shopping with my Mom. Was real fun and some new experiences:
- Sales girls treat you as kid
- You are 2x more confused on what to buy
- The importance of Price Tag goes up by 2x
- If you are lucky you get some cool things (Read: Expensive) – aka Affordability increases by 4x (you must know how to get them though!)
- You cannot really stare at those revealing posters at the SpyKar outlet 😛
- Every fourth line you speak is edited before words come out of your mouth – Yes the beepsssss – Though I slipped a couple of times 😛
And lastly you end up buying some really good stuff…
So what is attitude problem?
I keep hearing this and I have decided to diagnose what really this Attitude Problem is. I took a small quiz to find out what my problem is (Yeah the google query I made was :what is attitude problem:):
Here is the result…
Now this didn’t really help me; though blogging nonstop for almost 2 years now has some effect on me. So I went up to the BIG G again to get some more answers…
