While googling for forecasting methods i came across this website. The name "John Galt" rang bells in my mind but couldn't recall anything apart from a vague memory of reading some question about John Galt on some blog. So i googled for John Galt and then I found this.
Isn't this quite similar to Waiting for Godot?
It's been more than five months that I've penned down my thoughts here on this space and a lot of water has gone under the bridge since my last post here. My last post also was an attempt to keep the place alive with something. It's not that I had forgotten about this blog or there was nothing to write. This blog is dear to me and there was lot of stuff to write about, I just didn't write. That's it! (yeah...as simple as that).
When I was going through some of my old posts about weekends, cricket and life incidences I realized, however trivial may be the subject or content of the post they are all very wonderful and dear to me and that made me write this post. I feel I have lots of stuff to write about and I also want to write more consistently. But when I start writing the thoughts whither away and I can't write more than couple of sentences. Then I end up saving it as a draft which ultimately goes into the recycle bin (sigh...).
So let's see. How I can manage this and get into a habit of writing.
I wonder if these places will help blurring the boundaries of regionalism...

>> Having cheese makes you happy.
>> The more important your cheese is to you, the more you want to hold onto it.
>> If you do not change you can become extinct.
>> What would you do if you weren’t afraid?
>> Smell the cheese often so you know when it is getting old.
>> Movement in a new direction helps you find new cheese.
>> When you move beyond your fear, you fell free.
>> Imagining myself enjoying new cheese, even before I find it, leads me to it.
>> The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you find new cheese.
>> It is safer to search in the maze than remain in the cheese-less situation.
>> Old beliefs do not lead you to new cheese.
>> When you see that you can find and enjoy new cheese, you change course.
>> Noticing small changes early helps you adapt to the bigger changes that are to come.
>> Move with the cheese and enjoy it.
These are the writings on the wall from "Who moved my cheese?" by Spencer Johnson. Read the book again recently and could connect to it instantly. Felt that I am still waiting at cheese station C in the hope of new cheese. And it's time to get into the maze and search for cheese station N.
We are a group of 5 and our task is to construct something out of the lego pieces that we have infront of us. The examiners are observing us and making their notes. After the task is over I attend the interview which takes about 40 mins to conclude. The strange interview is known as the critical incidence interview. I have no clue what my chances of getting through are, after the interview. Thinking of this I get out of the institute and catch an auto.

"Yes, stop here." I tell the driver and get out of the rick. I glance at the Building It's a complex which along with a mall and other offices houses my first employer's (SBES, JNEC, IMDR...ISGN...the FLAs continue) office. I get into the lift and go to the 3rd floor. On the third floor I don't see any security or a gate keeper at the entrance. I am puzzled and looking for some help, when an employee comes and recognises that I am new and puzzled. He takes me in using his swipe card and leaves me at the reception. I am told to wait in the conference room where few others are also waiting.
Once everybody's there. The HR person comes and hands us the "Welcome Kit" and describes the day's schedule. We just Hear VP HR that day and the rest of the day is spent in completing the joining formalities. As the day ends I get out of the building feeling enthusiastic as I have placed my first step into the corporate world.
