Suddenly Something

The last comment made on my previous post suddenly made me realize that my blogs are actually not defunct. Looking back I had not made a single post in 2008, which has been such an eventful year. And frankly the series called "Summers Journey" that I had started has not got any more importance in my life, and hence find no urge to continue with it. But stories should have an end. Hence I thought that in this blog I should sum that up without going to the intricacies, the little emotions, which I am so fond of expressing in writing. You know you love cherishing your successes and not something which culminates in failure. The point of time when I last wrote, the world to me was a success. Perhaps you should compare everything with the sensex. Remember the sensex was somewhere around 20K at that point!!!! Then drastic things started happening. For the not so technical people: The Subprime crisis started, leading to credit crunch, economic recession in US which has already spread to India, Banks started going bust.Lehman Brothers!!! (( And I was actually aspiring for it though I tanked their interview giving wrong answers to known questions )) and finally the sensex is at the half of 20K.
My story during this period has been something similar. Chronologically:

1) Got an offer from HSBC London for summer internship
2) Had an wonderful time of two months in London. Nice vacation I should say.
3) Worked hard to get a final offer.
4) Finally was not given an offer for apparently no logical reason.
5) Everyday is turning out to be worse than the day before now with the economies slowing down.
6) Becoming an I-banker (Does the term exists in the dictionaries any more) looks like a distance dream.
7) And now the the summers journey for our junior batch is at the climax.

This is everything in a nutshell. Perhaps someday soon I should write about the London trip. I also feel like writing on the current affairs in the economy. But seriously I think that would make the blogs boring. Of course everything depends on my mood. And right now the mood is all too somber and gloomy. So one can assume that my next set of blogs might be extremely dark (:P). Once again thanks to those few people who read my blogs, commented on them that gave me the motivation to do something which I love to do: expressing myself to the abstract world.
