Career options

The other day we (yours truly, "Cocky and funny" Naag, Kula and Venkat) were discussing about the career options we had/have in our hand. In the quintessential Indian films tradition, the discussion was, of course, interspersed with enough masala for the junta who need entertainment. like a superr time-pass padam/phillum.

On what has happenned to the guys till now:-

Naag
shifted from Chennai to Bangalore for two reasons. One was that he got a better job here. The second reason was apparent only after he challenged us last year (on May 30th, his birthday) that he will get a girlfriend within a year. We agreed for the challenge, as we were more jobless than him. He started his bangalore life by furiously visiting pubs that played desi music and searching for girlfriends, real hard. He joined an online course to learn and be a "cocky and funny" dude. His quest for being the quintessential cool dude still continues. He might just get his soul mate one of these days. But, he wants to do the next big thing in his career; an M.S. or M.B.A, that is. And it was his desperation that led to this significant discussion in our lives.

Kula
He is going places and doesn't really need external help to screw himself up in the name of career development. Kula has already written 16 java certification exams (believes unconditionally that job consultants respect these certificates) and is in the process of completing 13 more, which will take him to 29. And when he writes his 30th test, the folks from SUN have promised to felicitate him with a lifetime achievement award. Yeah, Kula will then die in peace.
If he survives, he might also try to write rest of the 20 tests on how to write short stories using Java, with which he will also complete a half-century and also simulataneously develop his writing and coding skills.

Venkat
Well, he is just Venkat, whether he was in rectiana or here. He surprised us when he said that he is going to write CAT this year. Later he expressed himself elaborately saying that he really doesn't mind flunking. He is going to write it every year from now on so that he has something to do (apart from slogging in the office) and also doesn't lose his computational skills.

Srihari
I have rambled enough about what I have been doing. I was/is and will always be a nut. The various options that I came up for myself were as follows (and shrugged it off within minutes).

1. GRE, M.S., Ransack money, Back home
2. Prostratiing before my distant uncle in the U.S., Ransack money, Back home
3. [Heart attack alert] CAT, MBA, Keep Ransacking, Give the long-pending death it's due
5. GATE, [Heart attack alert] IISc, No possible Ransacking, Die one fine day
4. Join TIFR, grow long hair, die sooner
6. ToNMOAss, nuff said!

Well, options 1 and 2 have a probability of 0.000001 each. which leaves me with options 3, 4, 5 and 6 in which the 6th option takes a probability of 0.999999.

A Couple of new series that this blog will feature:-
There is this new series that will feature in this blog about what happenned to all the muted rest on the masala fronts.
Probables next:
1. Oks. {Don't miss the sizzling story of he kissing someone during the new year celebrations!}
2. Chid. {Again, don't miss the sizzling story of he being kissed during the new year celebrations!}

Not to be left far behind, Prasanna will also be starting a new series shortly, which will be titled, A Word a Day - for the betterment of this blog.
