2021 is here

 Hey, This is Pavan.

 

Today's date is January 7th, 2021. 2020 will be in the annals of history remembered for Wuhan Virus that killed 20 lakh people. I wonder sometimes if humans are the virus. Recently I watched a video where a man hit a road side baby cow with a huge stone on its head and leg till it's collapsed for a reason that it came on its way of the man which led him to fall on the ground. Seriously, I don't know what that man was thinking while beating it with stone, cruel. Not just about the active participation in this cruelty but we as human kind are indirectly responsible for many bad things happening on the planet, be it extinction of whales, tigers, rhinos, elephants or the climate change that caused severe rains, droughts, forest fires. This list doesn't end anywhere near but 2020 is a reminder for everyone to take a step back and let nature take the control. Pollution levels came down both in terms of air and water in many parts of the world, wild animals are being seen on the streets and may be that's for good. However, this is not how humans want to live on the planet right, Vaccines are being administered and trillions of dollars are being given by government to spend to revive the economy to its old glory. Anyway, this too will pass before another serious calamity can remind us once again. I am not totally pessimistic here but it was a disgusting feeling after watching what that man did and thinking of their worth on the planet. Karma pays back with interest, let's see.

 Forgetting about that incident, My 2020 was a mixed bag. Good part is that it gave me a fresh beginning in Career and the bad part is that I miss social life. Bentonville is not a happening place and personally I chose not to travel to friends place because of Covid, personal freedom and costs but in hindsight may be I should have traveled. I will fix that in 2021. As far as 2019 goals, that moved to 2020 and which in turn moving to 2021 are swimming, learning guitar and work out. I must say I made some progress in Working out not to the extent I would wish and I bought my first guitar. Now I have to just sit and practice at least 5 minutes a day. I have also started meditating and it's been 10 days already and I wish to continue. Something good, right. 

I am not so much in a mood to type and feeling so lazy. Not just now but been like this for some time and work from home doesn't help in raising productivity levels. Office work is not stressful and can be easily done within those 9 hours however minor interactions with indian counterparts might extend the work hours a little at night. I bought a TV, additional monitor, Sony XM4  headset and desks for thanks giving spending around 2000$ overall. Brother got married this November and unfortunately I can't be there for multiple reasons, mom said I can't see baasikam and asked me to skip. Don't feel like typing now, will update in next post.

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...
