I am still in a job that I hated like anything when I had to join it two year ago. I couldn't join Grad school this summer due to lack of money. So here are my goals in order of priority:
1. Build a small webapp so that first of all I can quit my job and have time to hack on what I like.
2. Get admission to a good Grad school next fall with full funding.
3. loose all the fat (a lot of it) that I have gained in past few years.
4. Make extra money to buy a Royal Enfield Bullet classic (any MotorCycle enthusiasts from India here ?) and go on a countrywide motorcycle trip of India.

- beenthere 16y ago@Vineet you can try doing some research, Grad Schools value that a lot. You can try joining some research institute in india (I know they are rare) and have at least a paper submitted before you apply A good idea would be to target WWW 2011 conference which is going to take place in hyderabad, In my case I had 2 international publication in a reputed International chemical engineering journal on topics related to machine learning which helped me a lot despite of poor grades, you can try applying to universities like NCSU, UNCC which are decent also provide good support,
