A Month Down the lane

Things have moved rapidly around me but i intend to stay at the same place where i was before. For the starters i kept myself away from blogging for all these days. Spent a nice vacation back home for two weeks and postponed by GMAT exam till later this year. So was bit relaxed for the next two weeks back in Bangalore. I have decided not to apply for 2009 so thats the reason for postponing my GMAT. It might sound too clichéd but I am seriously in need of a profile booster in the coming year to be anywhere near success for MBA apps.

I am searching for a Job in the Mechanical Engineering Industry apart from wailing my time in day trading at the Indian bourses. So if any body have any kind of openings which requires Design Engineering experience from a well known construction equipment manufacturing company anywhere in the world, Please feel free to contact me. Have delved myself into sports big time. Also trying to hone my French Language skills again.

Coming back to my GMAT prep which i restarted today, It was quite a breezer. Started with Kaplan 800 since i feel quite comfortable with those level of questions. Did the first two sections of Critical Reasoning and Sentence Correction. Actually liked the way they have complied all the required information about SC. I am thinking of compiling all the methods and strategies they have used for my future use and probably will load them n this blog for others to use. I am extremely weak at grammar which only adds to my woes for SC but I guess with lots of practice i can unlearn what i am learned in my school.

Life just changed over night

The decision to quit this job was ever in my mind but i was never so sure of doing it without having another job offer than now. I joined this company as a graduate engineer trainee and grew along with the company for the past three and half years. Its been helluva roller coaster ride in the entire tenure. One of the first projects which i was associated with for the entire training period was a big failure with the product being improperly designed that it was not able to meet the specifications set before the project. My head was the first to roll for that. Was sent back to India and then was moved to a different division and after that big failure came a big success. Again went back to states for few months and finished an entire project in record time with minimal quality issues. Overall the management in US was extremely happy. I was never in sync with my Indian managers ability to lead a team of mechanical engineers. Well finally after lot of deliberations i did out down my papers. Began my job hunt again but with little success.

Then now i am back @ home in West Bengal with a exam looming in front of me on 26th Aug and without a job in life. The best part of all this new events in life has made me much more confident. When ever people ask me what i want to do with my life, i always end up saying that if i knew what i want to do i would have done it long back. I should have no reasons to regret the decision which i made in the last few months. Well nobody in family knew of these happenings in my life which i would like to guard with all my might.

You might wonder where the daily cash flow would come from? I do spend a lot of money on regular basis. I have made a strong decision of being an active day trader from now on. In India, It is extremely hard for an average mechanical engg to earn and save money for B school dreams abroad. I found that Day trading can exactly make you reach your goals but on the other hand its is extremely risky. Its not that my track record is extremely well in the stock markets but i am trusting my instincts and abilities and past mistakes for my success in the future.

I am also planning to postpone my Apps for another year since I am not yet ready with the kind of profile i think would make it to the Better schools. Would jot down the details of my plan of action for the next few months later. Now I am just in an elated mood of doing something which makes you feel so free like quitting a steady paying job and be jobless after 4 years.
