Winter Begins

I am back again with one more post. As always I have nothing new to update about the way life is going.

Along with the dandruff that I already had, I started to get little neck pain. I do not know if my obsession with computer is the reason behind all my troubles but that's the status of the health. As September passed by I now know the amount I will receive for the next year. This year it is 31% hike along with bonus and additional performance bonus. All in all, I have got more wealth than I have imagined but now I understand the pain of a tax payer. There is nothing that I can do about saving tax because it is pretty complicated stuff but I definitely have to think about it by next year. That's the end of wealth story.

Now let's talk about normal things. I have been to home town this year for Ganesh chathurdhi and spent 5 days at home which passed by very quickly. But I will definitely remember the circumstances of office in which I had to leave home town ( Asked to come to office for 2 hours despite on sick leave ). I was literally vexed upon the job back then and I definitely needed a break from work life. I thought those 5 days break will help me to get back to normal work life but in fact, it made me realize that it is not a life worth living for. I say this because I saw my brother and dad going to farms and doing actual work that stresses you out and coming back home to relax and go for sleep. I realized their life is much more peaceful than the work pressures that we have at office environment. Although working in urban cities will give you enough money to live but half of the money is spent on the life style we want to have and rest half we don't know where it goes. May be I don't know but all I can say is that 5 day break didn't help me get back to my normal work life.

Days passed by as mom stayed back at home, I was spending more time on korean serials but with time I even got bored of them. One weekend I went to sathish's place and saw Nelson playing Dota and I was curios to know why he was addicted and i started playing. Right now I have spent more than 20 hours playing Dota. I think I am not addicted but I don't have any other things that attracts my attention. Although I want to prepare for GMAT, being productive is something that requires lot of focus. Let's see how time turns the tide.

Signing off. @ 1.30 AM - 13th October, 2015

Remembering Varma

 I don't remember exactly if it was late September or early October's that I first met Varma. He was very cool and seemingly smart person. I was recently hired and got to shadow under a person called Srinivas but I spent pretty much all my time along with Varma learning few things here and there for about 7 months after when I had to change projects. Although we met on multiple occasions at tea discussing about various topics not until 2020 March, when I first spoke with him about the opportunity that I found in Walmart and I needed help.  He was so helpful that I landed up with the Job without any difficulty. He guided me even with Salary negotiations and spoke with manager from his end and talked to me on the other end. He did pretty much all the hard work. It was difficult time for me with my job search then and then I said to Varma that I owe you one. Now I owe him one forever. I moved to the apartment where he used to live as he moved to new home that he bought but ever s...

Life Goes On

Very long time ago, I have stopped thinking about the journey that life is leading me into but now because of the way things are I reminiscent things that happened to me in the last 4 years, a time since I began my career in professional life. Many professionals who I consider as friends left the organization for various reasons yet I never felt a slightest of pain but these small things impacted the circle of people who I naturally hangout with during office times. The time has come were the group will have only one person and that would be me. This is the painful truth of being in a professional life, it is not difficult to make new friends but it is difficult to digest the fact that you miss the presence of your best friends, friends who know you very well. Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different...” This is how Life builds your past, things that you want to remember and things you do not want to forget will go ...

I wonder what I can be

Hey this is Pavan, I am just pumped up listening to "Travelling Soldier" song in a loop. This is a perfect Saturday morning as I woke up and checked the status of the last part of the computer that I ordered is arriving today. Had nuts, strawberries and tea for breakfast and listening to songs in my little room. Life is just beautiful. Tempo and mood is set way up by this motivational song, I wonder what I can be. I always believed in saying that show less than what you have and now that my little room set up is complete, I have to work twice hard as now in the times ahead to stay ahead of my lofty goal to be able to write a technical paper while satisfying my intellectual thirst. I gotta do it and I am going to do it. I have to come up with a systematic approach to be able to track the goals that I have set myself. I am planning on using the Agile to approach my goals but before that I have to come up with what I want to be as they say AS-IS to TO-BE path and things ...
