Missing Bananas..

Its been long i've been absent without notice. And to admit, for once, i had almost forgotten about my blog. :|

Well i have a long list of excuses to offer.

1. I had my exams.
2. I was working on my final year project and was extremely pissed off at all times.
3. I converted my IIM Indore call, and though was happy that i did convert, it was more of a problem since i had a BIG time trouble trying to convince my parents, that i really did not want to go to the place and wanted another shot at CAT.

Infact, the third reason was the biggest one to have kept me away. And right now, I am feeling very proud of myself because :-

1. May u all call me foolish, but i feel proud of the fact that i did not succumb to the pressure of joining a college which has an IIM brand with it, but is a place i do not want to go.
2. I feel that by doing it, i have taken up a certain amount of risk, and i sincerely believe that one should have the courage and self belief to take such risks to be able to succeed in life, and given the plans i have for myself in the future, this should do good for my confidence.
3. I feel proud of my convinving skills too (:P :D), since it was never easy to be convincing dad, that too when i had no-one supporting me, and my usual lone support, anuj bhaiya, had betrayed me. :|

Anyway, a few things have happened in between, I received my first Blogosphere award from Niki, and my blog has the first follower in her too. :) And it was her who had reminded me about the existence of this place. Thank you Niki! :)

I've just gotten back at poker, and m really trying hard to get a seat at the World Series Of Poker. Not that m really that good at it, but I am trying. Been to the level three many times now.

The "secret project" seems to be heading nowhere, and all the ideas of starting up a venture, making some big bucks etc, seems to be going down the drain. :| Guess i've lost interest, I really dont think this is the domain I want to venture in.

Oh and by the way, I am waiting for my joining letter from Eval, have been after anki's life for quite a lot of time now, but things arent really moving.

Sheikhu has his US visa interview today, and I hope he makes it through. :) He'd be off in july, and we might meet this monday. Its been some time since we last met, and m kinda getting very excited about the idea of meeting him. Waise bhi, july k baad to i dont even know when m gnna get to meet him next.

I went to Bangla sahib in the evening, and felt really good. Pretty long since i've had this feeling of being at peace with myself.

Its 2:40 as of now, and i really dont feel like sleeping. Another round of poker ehh? WSOP, here i come! :D
