What I had planned

After I took up BE course in Information Science & Engineering at MSRIT, Bangalore, the road for next few years of my life was pretty clear. Though i was never a tech savvy person or awesome at coding, i was drawn towards taking up projects and few other technical stuff.[much of the credit of which goes to MKN, probably my fav teacher]

Though i enjoyed the challenge, it was more of a induced habit/behavior for first couple of years.

I was pretty darn sure that after BE, i would be taking up a job and start working, and probably could never break for higher studies.

Only option which i had was distance education. I heard from a cousin of mine that BITS Pilani offers MS degree as a distance learning program provided that the company which i ll be working in had a tie up with the university.

Once i joined McAfee, my current working place, i was over joyed by knowing many of my colleagues were pursuing MS at BITS . The eligibility was a year's exp in industry, so i was just waiting for the right time to apply and in next couple of years, i would have an MS degree :) june/july 2011 - june/july 2013 i would do MS degree. So was happy about the plan and quietly satisfied.
