I am the alpha and the omega

Creativity varies inversely with the number of cooks involved with the broth.

I know I havent been faithful to my blog. But that was because work beckoned. As it got really busy during the last week, I just could not find the time.
Then again, my cerebrum got tired. I just ran out of things to write about. I needed a fresh perspective.

As of today, I am completing my internship. And my stay in California.

The end of my internship


Preparation for internship: $25
Shopping for stuff (clothes!): $100
Flite Ticket to california: $150

The internship experience. Priceless.

That pretty much sums what I had gone through for the past three months.
These three months ran by extremely fast. Right from the time as the plane to San Jose peered through the bank of clouds to give a fleeting glimpse of the Bay Area, to rite now, as I wait for the manager to give the house keys back to her, it has been a wild and fast ride. But to say that I have seen much more of USA than I did in the last 8 months in Texas is quite an understatement. That, perhaps, is the beauty and magic of California.

Blessed with a lovely weather for most of my stay here (Less or no rain at all, a cool temperature, a mild but non-stifling humidity, clear skies most of the time), I enjoyed the weekend outings. For about 8 of the 13 weekends that I have been here, I had gone out. Camping, hiking, skydiving, scenic drives, mountain biking, white water rafting, touristing - in short, whatever I had wanted to do! The nightlong LAN parties which extended to the next day morning made it quite a fun experience.

The work was great. Nvidia is a great company to work with - it even got placed as one of the top 100 companies to work for by Fortune in 2004. And as an intern - it is even more fun. There was no dearth of the intern activities that had been organized to keep the interns happy. They do go to a great extent to make everything perfect for them. (Perhaps they can allure them for a full time postion)

Granted, that I did have to work some long hours on some days, and sometimes on weekends too, but that is something everybody has to do, whether in a tech company or not.

I do have an offer for next year too. I mite hopefully come back again; again - to a separate country with sunshine, beautiful beaches and babes ;-)
