I am a poster boy!!



I am a poster boy!! The next time Accenture India visits your campus for recruitment, you will see one slide in the PPT which will be the same as the one you see above. As you can see, the handsome dashing dude is me, and yes, believe me, the quote is also my own. I am, in fact, one among the four people chosen across India, one representative of each end of the map. There is one guy from NIT Surathkal, one lady from BIT Mesra, one dude from IIT Roorkee, and finally me, from NIT Surat. I represent the West... now, didn't I tell you that I am a true western dude??

Ok, ok... I know that was a long braggadocio. But couldn't help it. After all, it is not everyday that you get a chance to brag like that... kya karoon, control nahi hota. Never mind, if you get to meet me, you will be the one gushing about me. Hee-hee, I know what comments are coming.

About the quote: well, although that might seem like a big ad campaign, trust me it is true. Right now, I know a thousand ways how not to build a data warehouse. I know why the process of paying commissions to insurance agents by the company is such a pain. I also know how it feels to sit 28 hours straight at the computer and then come back the next day to find out that the requirements have changed. So far so good. Some other opportunities of my bragging are coming up... keep your fingers crossed! :)

    Hello sir,
    Congratulations for the 'poster boy' fame! I hope life's swell. Please let me know whether the memories of this weird place called SVNIT campus have mollified over time?
    Bye.

    Vikas, hey! Did not know that you too had a blog! Welcome aboard, and of course, thanks :)

    The memories have not mollified. They are still fresh. And I do not wish to lose them in a hurry.

    Be in touch

Maa khuh chihal a panjam hastam

The hit counter on my blog reached 20074 today. Why you may ask, is that news, and why hadn't I cheered myself up when it was at 20,000 for example? Well, it is news because 20074 has been a very special number for me during my entire college life: it was my admission number, and my system-wide unique identity. It is strange, and surprising, how these numbers become a part of our identity. The social security number, the passport number, the id number in the college, or even your roll number somehow becomes an almost innate part of the day-to-day life. As soon as I see the same number somewhere else: maybe on a telephone, on a hitcounter, maybe somewhere else... a thousand memories are triggered. As my eyes struck the hitcounter showing 20074 right now, I was thrown back to memories of filling up exam answer sheets, hostel admission forms, library recall requests, and so much more! I believe that number was present on almost every official form which I filled in college: even when ...

Swami Vivekananda and the Indian Renaissance

The following is an article I sent to my mother based on which she presented at one of her conferences. Do read. =======================================  The common perception of Swami Vivekananda as the religious leader who preached Hinduism to the West and established the Ramakrishna Mission in India is a very limited definition of the impact he had on the collective psyche of the common Indian. Besides his direct impact in adding steam to the Indian Renaissance, a large part of his thoughts and writings also affected the other stalwarts of the movement. While fathoming the entirety of his impact on the Indian Renaissance would be impossible, we will briefly explore some aspects of his influence in the following pages. Raja Ram Mohan Roy is generally credited with ushering in the revolution. His numerous ventures that contradicted the prevailing religious opinion of right and wrong broke the stranglehold of the prevalent quasi-religion, the norms of society and its sole autoc...
