Let me say more about me before continuing with what happened next. By God's blessing i got an summer Internship at IITM(Indian Institute of Technology, Madras) last summer(May 2006). I have experienced a lot of things during the internship and learnt many things, if start talking about it than it will only become a whole new story which i am anyways not going to discuss now. But the impact of that Internship is it changed my mind set a lot. Ever since i came back to college after that i got lot of enthu in giving a research paper before final year. And at the mean time in the semester(5th) we will have companies coming for Interns. So a short term goal i have written in my dairy at the beginning of 5th semester goes like this
"Try to give a research paper by next semester. Don't worry about the internship if i don't get one"
With this motto i started the semester, i slagged my ass and tried to worked for my goals(though i wasted lot of time sleeping and watching movies). As semester passing on my enthu started falling about the research paper. But still used to do lot for that. As days went on and the fateful day i have mentioned in the beginning of the page arrived.
10 people from the department got the opportunity to apply for the internship(we are told selection process may have 2 or 3 elimination rounds) and i am one among them. Even you believe or not my first thought about the offer is

"I can't compete with others, but my mind says let's try, even i
don't get it, let me try to reach the second round(Even i don't go to the
don't get it, let me try to reach the second round(Even i don't go to the
second round i will have great interview experience)."
I sent my resume, celebrated rest of the day.I may or may not share my sad times with others, But i share happy times with everyone. I am waiting for the reply, in the mean while something else also happened i got a fellowship for attending a conference(VLSI Conference 2007) at Bangalore in January 2007. If i start describing about it, it's also a big story even though conference is for a duration of just 5 days. Finally 5th semester exams started,I did the exams well. Planned for a great winter vacation at the college(decided to come to college during the holidays and work and try to give a paper). But what happened is different, i went to college but what i did is sleep or play AOE (Age of Empires) or watch movie or pass time in front of my computer.
