Opeth @ IIT

"25th of February 2009", a day I will never forget for the rest of my life, a day that would be known as one of the best days of my life :-). This was the first time I ever got to go to a metal concert; the first time i ever saw Opeth, one of my favorite bands, play live right in front of me!.

I got the news about their gig a bit late. A college bud whom i had given a few Opeth songs & videos a few years back,informed me about the show. I was pretty lucky to get the train tickets in the last moment. There was in just one slot/seat available while i was booking :-). A another college bud hooked me up with a fellow metalhead who was also a Tool-Opeth fan like myself. I stayed over at his place, which was pretty close to the show

The show was spectacular!. The crowd was also amazing. Got to see lot of Opeth fans from all parts of the country. From Sardar headbangers to Gothic chicks, the crowd was so diverse... Head banged so much that i ended up with neck pain for a week.

The only thing better than this that could happen is - Tool live in India !!!

I'm Security+ Certified

Wooo hoo! Finally after two years of study, i finally got certified in Security+. Its a fairly easy exam with emphasis on Security fundamentals rather than vendor specific content.It took two years to prepare as I checked out at least 5-6 books and a 50 hour video training by Testout. Two months is sufficient for a neophyte to prepare for this exam( unless you plan to cheat with dumps). If you are planning to take the exam, feel free to contact me for resources...
