What am i gonna be?

I'm back after a while. Life in the meanwhile has been full of action. We have our campus placements scheduled soon. and the big question has again popped up in life. Who the hell am I gonna be? I was very clear on what I wanted to become when I was 4. With age they say comes clarity, a purpose but its been the opposite here. I hope I had some kinda time machine where I could feed in each career option and go forward 20 years to see if I'm enjoying what I doing.
Anyways, its not that I'm gonna have complete control over where I end up. Its gonna be a few HR managers who are gonna decide this for me. Hope I end up in some place where I would enjoy my work ( and get a 7 digit pay package ;)).
Gotto to do some real slogging in the coming week, its time to burn the midnight oil. Had a great start yesterday, slept with the room lights switched on.
Going to the canteen now to have a hot cup of tea. They say tea is a stimulant.

I'll be back

Black Wednesday!

The Indian bourses took a beating today. The stock market is one confused place or is it confusing place?
My first reaction after witnessing the events of Tsunami last week was that there would be a decline in the indices. But then the stock exchange traders around Asia wasted little time regretting the victims of the disaster, and Indian stock market even hit an all-time high last week. Market it seemed has no morality. And today when things have settled down, there was across the board selling. It seems the investors were expecting a correction after the rally over the last few months. Metal stocks crashed. Just yesterday, some one advised me that metal is the sector to be. I hope that guy didn't himself put his money in metals.
One good thing was that today wasn't a monday. It would have added to the confusion, what would they have called it..Blacker Monday?? ( May 17th 2004 was the original Black Monday )

I'll be black..sorry back
