Wait !, What !. Is it September already ?.

 Hey, This is Pavan. Once again, I don't know where I have been lost for so long without a post here. It's September already. Now, let's get to the updates.

It's been just about 3 months that I have joined in Walmart at Bentonville, Arkansas. I don't know how the past few months went by and I am glad to have joined this team. Very friendly one and I can notice a significant difference than that of SAP. To be honest, I didn't feel like I was part of the team when I was at SAP. May be because, I was not seen at the same level compared to that of team and there's this feeling that you are being monitored. Quite a few differences and I am sure it would have brought best of me but may be not the sense of cohesiveness with team. However, I do miss some wonderful people apart from Project environment but isn't it commonality of life. Hmm, what else.

 When it comes to stay, I am staying in a 2 bed 2 bath apartment alone and since I don't own a car it is quite difficult to hang out with friends and to manage groceries for that matter. On the other hand, I am saving on Insurance and Car expenses. Either way, I have to get my DL done but Winter is almost here. Let's see how that goes. One of the consequences of Lock down is that I gained 3 Kgs to my shock. I am trying to burn that through my evening walks now but definitely the gain was because of staying put at home. Something more has to be done about it and I will work on it. What else, I have got a new Desk table now, which can accommodate two monitors. I am waiting for Black Friday to buy one more, which takes my PC expenses to 3200 odd. Lately, I have been watching so much of Nomad Traveling shows and interested in buying a Go Pro. Heart says I want it but a grown up man says, spend money wisely but again I say that I am not buying Sony A7R iii, it's just Go Pro. Lol, I am spending like I am Ambani. Oh, by the way, I am free from my education loan.

 What else, during this lock down I thought of going to New York trip, either to Sowjanya's place or Bhargav's place but again Covid and Flight costs made me rethink my plans. If only I had a car, may be 24 hour drive would have been possible. Things are otherwise fine apart from staying at home 24X7. I wish there is as girl in US for whom I can find reasons to travel.

 That's all for time being, will see you again.

 

Here's a recent recording.

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...

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 ...
