Life has come a full circle for me ….
Transition from a tension-free campus life to a full tension corporate life.
For those still groping in the dark on what I am talking about – I have completed by B.Tech. and I am currently working in an IT company. 
I have been designated as ORACLE APPS DBA and am currently undergoing training for that.
Training has been very hectic but the good thing is it will finish in another 10 days. I have been posted in Hyderabad.
And once I reach there, I hope to resume my blogging again.
By the way I am planning to buy a laptop in the 55K range. It will not be a Macbook. So I want some suggestions as to which brand is better. And if anyone can suggest models then even better.
Bye…. for now.

Wow. Congrats dude! Do blog more about Oracle
. Did you get it through campus selection?
Anyways about the Notebook thingy, I would recommend a Dell laptop simply because you can customize the rig according to your need before ordering. If you can throw in 10k bucks more try Dell XPS!!

Hi all ….
@ Beta 3 -Thanks …. Yeah I will write on Oracle provided I come to know something.
@ Grudgy, I would love to go for a Mac. The only thing is software compatibility. I would not like to get a Mac and then install Windows on that using BootCamp.
@Shahab – Thanks.
@rahul – I have closed in 2 options now – HP and Dell.
I have no idea about Toshiba. Will check it out.
