Adios Brother, All the best

One big advantage of being younger son is that you get pampered a lot :P. You don't have to worry about taking any responsibility. The disadvantage: You will find it difficult later. You will be groping in darkness.

My brother yesterday left for US, Purdue University to pursue his Masters. Congratulations for getting admit in of one of the top 10 univs. Till now he and my father bore all the responsibilities. Now he is gone, everything lies on me. I now realize how difficult it was for my brother to manage the whole thing, even though he had a comfortable job(@ AMD). Seriously speaking I would have buckled under pressure if I had been in his place.

I am in 7th sem, still no placements, HP is coming on 12th. Thats an opportunity I would not like to let go. If I can clear written and tech rounds, then I can see a glimmer of hope. Anyway I have a good MHRD Haptic project in my kitty and also a technical paper submitted to IEEE Humanitarian Challenge Conference and HAVE, Italy. That adds a lot to my resume now. But I should not rule out others.

My short term plans are to prepare for HP, prepare for HP, prepare for HP :P. Wish me good luck.
