Miss my Doggy ..

Miss Blacky big time .. miss him soooooo much ...
there are few days when he used wake me up .. to TAKE me out for a walk .. Yes. You are reading it right, Blacky used to take me for a walk..... What a wonderful times were those...
a long walk in the UAS campus, about 2 K.M from home...

And when I used to return home from work... Blacky used to run towards the door, never knew how he used to identify my Bike sound from a distance..... was sooo wonderfulll.. This is the same chair ... where he used to sit on me... :)


Doggys are such good friends ... with out speaking a word... they communicate soo much... they understand your emotions too well and react accordingly...

Few of the good thinngs I miss in life here in Japan ..

In Japan, never miss an opportunity to take pictures... of the doggys in Japan ...
few of the favorite Japanese doggies... http://doggy.fotopic.net

What is the thin line.

When do you say you are experienced and when you say you are learning??
When do you decide this city is new to me and when you say you have explored enough?
When do you say learned enough, time to move to next bigger role or there is so much to learn in here?

When do you say I should build on my career and should start building personal life my career is stable?

It is a VERY THIN LINE it is very individual, no one really knows in fact I don’t know about this myself.

Wish I never came out of college , Never had to think, there was clear set of rules and time set for each goal , 10 years in School , 2 years intermediate and than you choose degree . Life was so easy life moved on you never had to think...

Life worked on so simple logic.

If the score is good in Mathematics ... you choose Science in plus 2 by default to become Doctor or Engineer

You are NOT good in Mathematics than people will suggest. Commerce... if their is little faith in you... people would advise you take Commerse... and if you are really bad in Studies... than Arts, Home Science is the option ..

The above statement is true for 96 % of the people in India and the rest 4% are the people who start thinking early in life...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I belong to first part 96% of the people , I was quite good in Mathematics ... well thanks to my Mother ... she was always a great teacher .. Helped me do well in studies... well Kannada was the most difficult subject, and than Science and Mathematics was my favorite.

I choose to take Engineering early in life... (SSLC) took up Computer Science in place of Biology in my Pre-University, and than Mechanical Engineering.

Wannned to do get into CAD/CAM/CAE jobs, but that never happened... I waited for too long to get into my jobs CAD/CAM company, again there was this THIN line when to look for other options, I did NOT UNDERSTAND THIN line. Until it was too late.

Joined a small company... they promised me heaven when I joined them Datasoft, it was a US based company... and I was jobless. Easy prey... promising me lot many thinsg .. they won .. and got in .. It again took me year to realize... that it is not the right place for me ... did not KNOW when to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH..... Here you are doing something you did not want to like marketing the software hoping that they would offer me a software job.

Until I met my cousin Ropes (he is more a friend to me than a cousin) in Mumbai... he was in Informix ... Rupesh decided for me to put a BREAK and I quit my job... to start learning... UNIX and C...

Joined Uttar in Bangalore... the Unix and C school, there you meet so many people in this school for about an Year... and still have the same ENTHUASISUM to lern about Unix .. The joy of learning here is some thing I can never put it in words... and after 6 months you agin have to decide ... wheather to look for a Job or STILL continue learning... THIN LINE dilemma... is my knowledge enough to apply for the job or i still need to learn... it took me 8 months to start applying for job.

Finally had a Software Engineering Job, got into HP ...as a consultant from Canarys... and the learning curve start moving up... the first year was amazing... loved the place met the best people in life .. And than after two and a half year started thinking of jobs... it was a THIN LINE... to decide when to say I am GOOD ENOUGH to move out from HP Luckly the HP and COMPAQ merger acted as a catalyst to look for differnt jobs... it did not take toooo long to find a good job.

Joined present company ... was very impressed by the Manager who interviewed me... joined present project... it has been very exciting job... in financial industry ... Supporting the trading System for last one year ..Thinking that I have build career in finance industry plan to get back home...

When it is time to move back home. .offered a good and different role in the project, now I am in a DELIMA what to do... take up the new role and BUILD my finance career... or get back home with a good finance carreer in hand. .... When do you draw a LINE and say my career life is good enough and start concentrate on other things in LIFE...

Good Oppurtinity .. not when you need them.

There are times when i struggled very hard to get find a job .. and than a very slowly moved to a different roles within the project with more responsibilty ..

Always belived in doing your job right with expectation of any kind . not sure if this logic is right or not there are some frustratinf times , but after 4 years in the industry belive I was right ..

When I joined my comapny about one and half year ago ,had never imagined the number of places I get to travel .. has beeen very exiting .. travelled to New York and than put up in Tokyo ..

Work has been very exiting .. Just in an year have had an oppurtinuity to know very much of the Financial industry ... specially of the Fixed Income Market..

Let me tell you one incident, the first time met my Manager in New York. Could not belive seeing his mail box, and there tons of mails, and the number of phone calls , and the speed at which each issue was resolved .. NEVER could imagine doing this.. But today I see myself doing exactly this ..

It has been a tough road for me the last one year .. but very exiting as well , in the front office IT desk , Get to interact with the Traders , Middle office , Operations , Back office , Product Control and my core support and development team.

Looking form the geographic perspective all my Users are in Tokyo , Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and my technical support in NY , London, Bangalore and sometime Mumbai ..


Well, why am i thinking all this .. today was special .. had a chat with the manager , he plans to move me to differnt role from the present role of major support to the development role. It will be exiting to work in this project , But will not get a chance to go back home soon ..

I am in a big dilemma .. choose the thing for my career and stay for few more months in Japan or pack up my bags and head back home ..

The new project is very tempting .. but still not sure .........

Manys Indians like to abuse their own world

I am always worried to seee our country men abouse their country .

There were two more Indians who have joined my company - in Tokyo .. and we had planned to got ofr Lunch today ..

We spoke for quite some time on the good good topics ... and than it was time to speak of India .. here goes the bashing...

1) I am surprised India has only 6 international airport.
2) Why are the politions screwing up the Country ..
3) In Japan .. even a smalll things atracts so many tourist .. but in India .. why even a 100o year temple country doest not attract tourist .
4 ) Airport is bad .. it is the worst ..

the list never ends.. each one in the group was adding to the list .. and telling we should comercialise all things ..

I hate all these people who cry on all these and never do anything for the country ..


Why not look at all the good things that happen . ????

Ever wondered Indians abuse their own country .. ???
