Finally, We’re Here.
I am done with Engineering. For once and for all. I passed all courses in first attempt with decent grades. But the last two months of the semester were crazy. Faced everything from serious shortage of timeĀ to impossible people. The list of things to do was so long that, I didn’t know where to start ( Hence, I chose to go for nap instead). Eventually, the things got done and I made it through.
To be honest, balancing multiple things while studying is very difficult. You’ll tend to screw up at least something. In my case, I was balancing internship, my sites and college together. I even managed to get few design clients during the later half of the last 2 months. Yes, I have a track record of biting way more than I can chew. But as a collateral, my online business suffered. Panda and Penguin updates ruined a good portion of the business.
Talking about the internship, I have been interning at the SEM department at Rocket Internet. They are a new startup and operate the E-Commerce Store Namshi and Mizado. They are taking the whole GCC region by storm. Its a very promising start up. The time spent while balancing internship with college has been worth it because I have learned a lot of new stuff. Plus, I also have a semiformal Job offer from these people.
Now coming to the next point, my online income is down by 60-70%. My major earners have lost their positions in search engines. What used to work before doesn’t work now. To be honest, I haven’t been able to give much time because of internship and college. I’ll be looking into each of my properties again and figure out how to revive them. If I could do it once, I am sure I can do it again.
Lastly, I am in India at the moment. To be precise, in Mumbai. I’ll be heading to Goa soon. Come on, I deserve to have some fun after so much bullshit. Take care, yo !
