Cheers to the Past

Wiseness dawns on me as I age and the strange questions of life lingers around. Sometimes lifting the mood and sometimes throwing into the abyss but yet I persist. Purpose of life is one question and some elusive bliss you try to chase are some of the things that I thought about yesterday. 

 I was ecstatic in the morning to JustineGriffin who I happened to stumble on twitch, after work I was enjoying BBT and entertaining my inner nerd and then an article on google news popped about the final episode of BBT. I then skipped all episodes and watched the finale and I must confess I got teary eyed and felt sad, in that episode Sheldon in his acceptance speech talks about friends who stuck with him for past 12 years and describes them as encouraged, sustained, inspired and tolerated. It got me thinking of my past few years and things went downhill from there.

I don't know what to say but there were many friends and acquaintances who left me same thoughts. Starting from 

Azhar, Avinash from School group.

Venu, Krishna Kanth from Inter group.

Kashyap, Swathik, Manohar, Rajesh & Raj anna from B.Tech Hostel group. 

Pradeep, Bhargav, Ramesh, Jitendra, Laxman, Yadagiri, Chinmaya, Avinash from B.Tech group.

Sowjanya, Nelson, Satish, Anjana, Rofin, Uma, Sushma, Rohita, Ramakrishna, Shivramdev, Anupam, Rohit, Shriya, Lakshmi, Namratha, Rohit, Chaitanya, Shiv Pratap, Yadwinder, Mangesh, Abhinaya, Ram, Praveen gouri, Gaurav, Jagdeesh, Susarla from office group.

Hanwei, Pavithra, Kinjal from UC group

 Nimish, Jay, Adi, Pallavi, Purav, Jake, Kaushal, Han Lu from SAP Group

I am grateful for these friends who shaped me in one or the other way to become a better person and appreciate life for what it is. They really are very sweet and have profound impact on me, though they know it or not.

It's not that happy days were in the past and may be the best is yet to come but in someways I have to admit that I feel older. What lies ahead may or may not be as good as past was but these memories from past will be cherished as long as my memory supports and puts a smile on my face and nostalgia in my thoughts.

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 ...
