And then there was light...
Thanks to the wonderful atmosphere of the big city that i have been drinking from the past 8 months (among other things), it has suddenly struck me that i am an out-of-place techi in the big city corporate world. It seems 8 months has not evolved me into the quintessential techi that i should have become. Cause a normal techi within 8 months of earning his bread, butter and vodka has to have done the following things-
*Should have changed 2 extremely costly mobile phones even though his office does not allow him to get these fancy mobiles into the office.
*Should own a fancy Ipod.
*Should have had 2 break ups.
*Should suddenly follow F1 even though the only round thing that he sees close are not tyres.
*Beer is suddenly replaced by the costliest vodka.
*Has more plastic cards in his pockets than currency notes.
*Recognizes Meal tickets and Sodexo passes faster than a 10re note (which he uses seldom).
*Sports a fancy sunglass even at 8 in the night in a fancy pub.
*Should change his hair style every 15days.
*Should have attended atleast one bootcamp of some sort and one cycling/biking expedition with unknown people.
*And finally should never go to the pantry\cafeteria alone to drink a cup of coffee.
Except for the graduation form beer to vodka(albeit a cheap one), your's truely has had no success in becoming a successful techi in all other aspects. So heres asking suggestions in becoming a typecast techi in the big city so that yours truely can do better things in his off office hours other than blog on a low battery Laptop...!!

hmm... Try lunch at cafeteria over topics like unit testing, traceability matrix!!
or even cute,seemingly sane gals from office complimenting pink shirts!!
so whts ya brand of vodka?:P
just surprised your preferred drink was beer before
lol..fancy gadgets (ipod touch a must) should do to be "The techi" and yes you should try the biking/cycling thing too... it's apparently the in thing now with everyone..techi or not!!
other TECHIEs are this way coz their not a family man like u....
btw may be u should mention abt ppl learning to play guitar, espl when they have NO SENSE of music....
These are some really weird assumptions cause I am yet to meet a "techie" like that.
But if its true, maybe its time to come out of the darkness? :P
Start with the Vodka :)
