An year in US and 3 Months at Work

I took a flight from India to USA on August 7th. It's exactly an year since I moved here. After finishing my class room course work, I joined SAP on April 6th, 2019. It's been 3 months already that I started to work and I don't think I have done anything significant to make my mark.

I always tend to take the easier choice, but moving to US for my master's was one of the riskiest decision that I have made. Leaving a stable job and trying to settle once again in a foreign land dreaming about dollars. Yet, I said to myself that whatever happens for good or bad would be an experience. After all, isn't life about having those experiences.

I am still not sure if I want to pursue my career in SAP Consulting roles or move out to a different field such as data science or machine learning. I am sure I have the abilities to be a data scientist but for Machine learning engineer, I need to learn lot more. So far, I have been focussing on Image recognition but it has so much depth to it that I feel I didn't even scratch the surface.However, on the other side, I still have my contacts with Deloitte and can find some job in Deloitte if I stick with ABAP.


For the long weekend on August 29th, friends are planning for a long trip but I am opting out. Trips are fun but I am not sure if I really want to go. I never cared about money but gave that as reason for me to not joining them.  I might plan a trip to New York during the same time or anyway I enjoy chilling at home watching movies or playing dota anyway.

Now let's talk about life and work in general. Reaching office every day at 8.30 but I wish to reach office by 6 in the morning however things aren't going as planned but I will try my best for that to happen. If that doesn't work I will stay back for another 2 hours but I think it is better to be early in the morning than late in the evening.  All I am doing is creating a Fiori Application called RAI's in Error. Not so complicated but learned quite a few things by working hands on UI5.

In terms of life, I recently spoke with brother of a prospective match. I am no longer excited or looking forward. I am tired of trying to find an equal and there's a hard dead line of this December. When it's about time, i have to make one or the other choice anyway but I tend to deviate myself from life by playing Dota and guess what. Life is beautiful when you are winning and depressing when you are losing. Right now, I am on a losing streak and feel sad.

Anyway, I have nothing good to update and signing off till next time.

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 ...
