Life..

Filed under: Life — GreatBaron September 7, 2008 @ 7:28 pm

Before graduating these were my priorities:

  1. Pass all my courses.
  2. Pass them with flying colours!
  3. Get a good job
  4. er…dare I say it …Get a wife….Right this makes me a typical South Asian!.
  5. Make a lot of money!
  6. Discover the next ‘killer app’
  7. Be an Engineering/ Programming Guru!
  8. Have a million dollars (and a nice BMW) all before the age of 30!

Now after graduation, my priorities have shifted. It’s like being hit with a big bus called Reality. My priorities now are:

  1. Do well in my job
  2. Get Confirmed!
  3. Make tons of money
  4. Get Out of Debt!
  5. Discover the next killer app!
  6. Google (Microsoft,etc <name whatyacallitFamousCompany>) pay me millions to get their hands on my killer app.
  7. Get a CAR!
  8. Get a house
  9. Get into a Graduate school.

As you can see, getting a wife is now no longer in my list of priorities. It will definitely change in the next five years as some of the items will be out of the list (like Items 2 and 7). As for the other items (5 and 6), well there is no harm in trying. And even if the application that I create doesn’t bring in the dough, I’ll still be better off with all the new knowledge and experience!

So what were your priorities before and after your graduation ?

I’ve also been reading a couple of personal finance blogs. They’re breadth of coverage is very illuminating.

Happy Monday!

A Video about India

Filed under: Entertainment — GreatBaron @ 7:15 pm

There are may videos about India. A cursory search in YouTube will reveal a plethora of videos. This video gives a brief introduction to India. For people who aren’t from India, I highly recommend watching BBC’s “The Story of India”. It is a wonderful documentary about India.

A Recent Graduate and a different kind of busy

Filed under: Uncategorized — GreatBaron @ 7:03 pm

I graduated from university this May and I’ve learned that there is a different kind of busy.I’m still transitioning from student life to working life. So if anybody is visiting this block, can you tell me what do you think of working life? Do you still reminisce of the ‘years gone by? I’m enjoying the working world, more because that I’m finally am able to earn money and support my ownself.

DO reply…if there’s anyone reading this blog.
