THE YEAR THAT WAS...!!!

The year 2008 is coming to an end and its indeed an eventful year and more than that it was full of stress. I have gone through many learning curves in this year. Though it was hectic, at the end of the year i have a feeling that it always adds to you personally and professionally.

On the Professional front, there are quite a few achievements as well as challenges may it be an award or recognition or going home at 6 in the morning having stayed in the office the whole night and again coming back to office at 8 in the morning...

It all started in April when i took up a single module without having prior knowledge of what it is going to be a really hectic one. My room mates kept on telling me that i work so much but at the end of the day, i was just doing my job after all... There were times when i got really frustrated with all this stuff and tried to run away from the problem. This went to such an extent that i have convinced myself to quit this and go elsewhere. Added to all these, is the Economic Meltdown and the Recession where everybody is facing the heat. Its not easy to leave your job and days will be tougher and tougher...But as time passed by i realised this will not get me anywhere. So i slowly calmed down, analysed the things and kept going.

Now that i have spent more than a year in this Software field, now i understand why everybody has the same opinion that during your 1 to 2 years of software career will be really "HARD" but not "SOFT" .

The Year that was to me was full of learning Experiences and has taught me many things...

Looking forward to learn some more from 2009....:-)

STOP TALKING START DOING

Ever thought you could also bring a change in the society? Yes we can. All it takes is the will to do it nothing more than that.

After the aftermath of the ghastly terror strike in the country's history it is loud and clear that there is rage everywhere and it should be properly channelised, otherwise the future will be in question for the coming generations.

Whatever rampage that took place in the last week may not have happened because of the leaders failure but as we see, its high time that the younger generation of this country should come together and start a movement so that the coming generations can breathe safely in our own territory. The first step in this would be to choose the right leaders in whose hands we feel safe and secured.

I still wonder how many of us have made use of the right to vote. I am sure most of you reading this has not done it. We have seen campaigns being led regarding this, and i certainly feel that we should end this feeling of "chaltha hai" once for all. And i know most of us are out of our home cities, busy typing the hard keys of the keyboards in our Glassy, Posh secure corporate offices but at the end of the day, when we see these ghastly things happening again and again, its high time that we should do our bit to the society atleast by casting our vote to the deserved person.But thats only one of the many wasy of doing it.

Right to Vote is something which has been sleeping under the blanket for quite some time. Thanks to the sites like jaagore.com where irrespective of where you are living you can register online and cast "your" vote.

So its high time that the we the younger generation should realise this and make our own future secure by ourselves. As rightly said by some friend the other day in TV its better to die in a war rather than dying while dining with your parents in a five star lobby...!!!!

Its rightly said that enough is enough..!!! And we should STOP TALKING AND START DOING...!!!
