Then why have I not been working in Google from the start of my career? Why join Motorola? Here is a timeline to put everything in perspective. Summer of 2001: My GRE exam is on August 1, 2001. Preparations are underway with one target in mind - "I have to join MIT". But no amount of hard work could prepare me for the dooms day.

And from that day to this day I kept complaining that "I could not join MIT". Only a few handful of people knew how depressed I was during that time. Fast forward 3 years. August 2004: I joined University of Arizona in 2002 and I was close to completing my Masters. I had no plans of doing PhD. I lost all hope to join MIT. But I knew one thing I could do that...
