Post graduation – MBA or MCA?

This is a log of conversation piece and some advice that I gave to a lost soul who was researching the prospects of doing MCA (Master of Computer Applications) degree.

My first steps as a network engineer

As the famous words go, The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. These words stand true in my case. I have joined one of the leading IT Services companies as a Networking Engineer at a NOC, handling the WAN for a National Banking customer. It is a ‘small big step’ […]

Day 4 – The winding road trip ends

It’s called the winding road trip because of the fact that the whole thing was not planned, we just packed our bags and in true European back-packing, hitch-hiking spirit went on the road. The only constraint being cash, as it is always with students like us. Having big dreams and shallow pockets! Even though we […]

Day 3 – McLeodGanj to Dalhousie

Reached the bus stand on time. The ride was long and tiring with numerous stops in the way for refreshment and lunch besides for boarding other passengers on the way.

Alternatively, pay Rs. 120 and get down at McLeodGanj market (9+2KM), walk 2 mins on Bhagsu road and look around for cheap places to […]

Day 1 – Delhi to Dharamshala

Control two desktops with one keyboard and mouse

Synergy, an open source software application that allows you to control multiple PC’s through the TCP/IP LAN network. You can control two systems over your network with just one set of K&M connected to one of the machines. I have a laptop and a desktop which are kept apart, this works great. I don’t have […]

Foray into blogging

First post! Welcome to the most impatiently written blog on the interwebs. Original intention was to have a personal record of my career development and progression. In some ways, hope this blog still serves this purpose for me. Ultimately this website is not meant to be a portfolio for my professional career nor it is […]
