Hey stalkers! It's 5:43 PM and I'm listening to some bhajans on youtube. Someone came to see our house, since we have to sublease it from January. But, this is not how a typical day in my life looks like. I'll write about it (my day in Portland) in second person. You get up at 5:45-ish in the morning, turn off the alarm which was about to ring at 6am. And then instinctively you call at home. Talk to Mummy and Dadi for half an hour. Boom ! It's 6:30. Now, you rush to the kitchen, to prepare breakfast. Mostly it's cereals and milk. Sometimes it's omelette, and rarely some leftovers from the last night which, you ordered via Uber eats. Then you wash your face, get ready for the office and catch the 7:20 bus to Portland downtown. From downtown, you catch another bus to Unum I/B or Jetport. There you go. You're at office around 8:20-8:30 in the morning. Now, you start checking your emails, teams messages and set yourself for the meetings which are generally aroun...
So, since the last two days I was thinking about an analogy, which I believe holds true to some extent. I believe to a large extent that we become like the Gods we tend to incline towards. For example; in parts of India; like Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Himachal, Uttarakhand and parts of Rajasthan and Maharashtra which fall near central india (where I come from); we generally worship Lord Shiva in various forms (Mahakal, Vishwanath, Tryambakeshwar, Mallikarjun, Baidyanath, Bheemashanakar, Kedarnath), Lord Hanuman, Kaal Bhairav (particularly in Ujjain), etc. - where people tend to be more aggressive, and believe in a life full of grandeur, and are more stiff when it comes to culture, and don't see material wealth as the primary motive of life. As compared to the counterparts of Gujarat, and Mumbai (and that part of Maharasthra) where Lord Ganesh and Lord Krishna are worshipped by the masses. Which is pretty evident. Gujaratis and Native mumbaikars are a bit sweeter, with g...
So, I'm writing about my first day of Job after coming home from third day. Well, because its a good job which apparently keeps me busy. And also, I just come home, eat food and literally doze off. Basically, I have to work on a product with a team, where I'll spend my time on analytics and machine learning stuff. I am in the core business team of the product, where I'm working directly with Maxime (Dartmouth MBA) and Swapnil (MIT MBA) who are the AVP and VP of my company's behavioral health division. Also, other teammates Ryan, David and Clare are also veterans and I'm the only intern. So, its a bit intimidating (in a good way) and challenging. I will learn a lot. Also, Swapnil is VERY humble. I thought she'd be a bossy lady with whom I'd have a tough time... but is not. She is soooo soooo humble and I haven't seen her resting a single minute. She is just working all the time. I aspire to be a workaholic like her in the coming years... And Maxime. ...
