The So Called 'Hitech City'

The views expressed here are entirely mine.. Please read with a pinch of salt...



Its been over 5months since I shifted to Hyderabad(Hydera-BAD) from Mumbai..shud i say just five?? or holy S**T five whole god-damn months!!!!!!
I had a nice life in Mumbai, living with parents...home cooked food.....a so-so job..childhood friends... wonder what got into me to leave all that n come here....It all started bcos of my job or rather the lack of good one.. the grass always being greener on the other side.. my friends earning more than me...one level above me.... I had been 2 n half years into my first job, and like all aspiring intelligent IT proffessionals decided that it was high time i jumped..good incentive...better onsite oppurtunity (saal mein sirf 2 baar .. 6-6 mnths ke liye)...better designation...blah blah blah... actually started thinking a year before.. but it took me another one n half years to motivate myself to study... to get off the comfort zone.. to get confidence that i know something and that i can handle interview n i aint no dumb ass...
Call it luck or destiny that one my friends (batch mate) 'Gurugaaru' who was/is doing well in his current job (4th one in 2years :) ) happnd to come to mumbai en-route to pune as a guest lecturer. I went and picked him from the airport.. and during the ride from aiport to home he took my classes :) ... " 2 saal se ek hi naukri... not a mnc company..no processes... juniors earn more than you... saala telegu hokar mumbai mein hai...settle in ur home town... goto hyd....i will fwd ur resume to great companies... dude ur life sucks" ..... well i did hit the mark..and very soon i landed myself with a job in hyd..packed my bags and moved here.....
