Taking the red pill and joining Microsoft
This blog has been silent for over a month - probably the longest stretch ever.I have a lot of excuses for this. I've been pretty busy with various things, from college exams to Imagine Cup zonal finals (which my team
won btw).
Tommorow is a pretty big day for me. I'm flying to Hyderabad to join Microsoft- I've accepted a PM offer on DevTools. For those who know me, you know how big a deal this is. I've been a fan of Microsoft for a long,long time and the idea of me being inside the company and watching Longhorn, Whidbey get shipped is just mind-blowing.
This also means that I'm leaving Chennai, the city where I have lived all of my 21 years. Moving to a new city and living alone is going to be a huge change for me, in more ways than one. I have a lot of connections to Chennai,to the people in it. I'm going to miss a lot of them.
There are a few people without who this wouldn't have been possible. You know who you are - I can't begin to thank you.
As for this blog, I'm not sure whether I'll continue blogging here. Comment spam, downtimes and other issues have made blogging here a less than pleasant experience. I'm mulling over whether to join the rest of the B0rg at blogs.msdn.com or set up my own domain and server. Anyway, I'll let you know here as soon as I'm set up.
So long Chennai...and thanks for the fish.
An’ here I go again on my own
Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An’ I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go...
