Update on lab Prep!!

As i said in my earlier post i will be updating on my Lab Prep. After clearing written exam i spent almost 15 days just to collect all the required info on how to tackle the lab.  I did interacted with 3 CCIEs in our company and got a very good response and that helped me in planning my studies.

Installed Dynamips on my new baby (T61) and running without any issues so far, Big thanks to Vageesh who helped me in setting up Dynamips end to end. Right now am brushing up on some of  the theory topics and the plan is to start practicing lab  from next week onwards. By that time i should be able to cover most of the remaining theory part. Hope i will be doing it on time…!!

To be contd… (118 days left)

Back to Business…after IPL,Lotus Blossom and much more!!

Huh.. it has been long time since i wrote my last post. well i cant tell i didn’t get enough time to post anything for that matter, but certainly yes i do have time constraint as i am tied up with too many things to take care.

As i am leading one of the project (3 member team though) i have to work harder to achieve those unexpected(!) results and as per my this year resolution i need to complete CCIE Lab. These all things will happen only if i stretch myself a little bit. literally am going through a very tough time and at the same time am trying to enjoy whatever am into as it helps me in busting my stress factor.

Lot of interesting things happened in my life in the last one and a half month. I got engaged to Veena, who is pursuing her MBA from VTU (Final sem) and it needs one big post to tell about her which i will do it in some other day. Btw my close friend Nagendra got married and living a happy life.

I have booked my lab date on oct 3 (to be precise 120 days left for this D Day). Cleared ccie written a month back and slowly picking up on the lab topics. Am planning to post daily updates on my CCIE Prep as it helps me in analyzing my strengths and weakness.

Having said that this post wont be complete without mentioning IPL’s successful saga and story of Lotus Blossom in karnataka. These were the most likely important event happened for this year, Though i was busy with my work, i made it a point to watch some of the important matches esp. after RR’s unexpected dream run. They were written off even before the start of the tournament but still they managed to lift the cup, what an inspirational personality Warne is. .. and IPL find —-Yousuf Pathan!!

Again Politics is one of my interesting field and i do keep a tab on day to day activities, this time Lotus Blossom and it is one of my long term wish to see BJP coming to power in karnataka. The decision to support BJP (Yedyurappa) might appear a biased one, as i am from the same constituency Shikaripur. I grew up seeing him and in our early days we used to watch him closely and debated a lot about his potential of becoming a CM. We even predicted that he will become CM one day, and the wish came true. Time only can tell how well he manages to run the govt and shows his prowess without buckling to mining and Real estate lobby.

Hope this govt will do better .. and i wish them all the best!!
