Long walk back…

Well, the time has come when I have to bid goodbye to my own Indore, which without a second thought accommodated me for almost 11 years now. Even though I have been abusing Indore like a politician does to opposition party, the city has never let me down whenever I need it the most.

I started this journey of 11 years as a school student and even though I couldn’t pick up thick friends like I had in Jabalpur / Chennai, I was content with the way things turned out. There were enough opportunities for me to hang on when I finished my graduation and I could continue till this point, really it should go into history books. They say “Faith bows to him, who knows how to wait” and I think I did the right thing. Spending 5+ years in a company, which I dreamt to be working with, was a great achievement so far in my life but as we try and reach to our expectations, aspirations tend to grow and the same happened to me also. Once as a part-timer in college and full timer in office I dreamt of becoming a software engineer and now when I have achieved that, I don’t want to wait for my own company which gave me everything so far to come out with a plan, instead I have decided to make my own fortune by venturing out.

I don’t know whether I am doing the right thing or not but I am sure that following your instincts is not wrong and I am doing the same. Leaving a city like Indore in which you have lived for so long (longest ever for me….) is not an easy choice, for you know that when you return from office there is always someone to take care of your needs and there are family members to fall back when you need them to be in your side. Living in Indore is like no cost for me, now when I think of setting up a new place at Pune then it seems like planning a career for me. Though things are not worse but you tend to fall back to your safest option whenever you come across such choices in life. They say “taking the path least traveled makes difference…” let that be true in my case (fingers crossed)

I think my heart would surely burst into tears on 4th of February which would be my last day in the company, I have to go against my sub-conscious to not to go to office on 5th, oh boy, is this what I wanted from the company, surely no. I don’t even want to complain at this point of time for I have got whatever I wanted from the co. and just that the pace of things didn’t suit me.

So, I shall be starting a new innings in a new civilization, (for me it’s like that only :-)). Like a opening batsmen I would like to start cautiously and then aggressively trying to keep the momentum going.

Till then, Good Bye! Indore, may be we were destined to live together for 11 years only.

What kind of a world this is! today I landed up in www and found some interesting people who have been doing their bit to keep this rather boring net live, really what a refreshing day it was.

Two blogs that have really made an impact on me
Golf Dude
Elango

Great going guys !! I wish I also could write my experiences the way these people have expressed, but neverthless I shall try to be myself and put something interesting someday or other. Keep going Sriram !

HI,

I was away in NOIDA for a week to come face to face with a very bad weather. The humidity refused to slide and I had a horrible time this time around. I had been to NOIDA earlier but never have had such a bad time.

I suddenly felt that the city in which I live in is a heaven in itself. I really couldn't stop myself from posting this article on the small and self sufficient city that I live in. I dare to admit that the city lags in terms of infrastructure, development and all the hi-tech utilities and services, but what it offers is a calm and a home away from home atmosphere which I think nobody can deny.

I am back now and I am feeling lot better. Hope to gather some more info. and shall update my site shortly.

Keep watching

One of the sites where you find the support you want. Lotus Notes and everything related to the great product.Lotus Developer Domain. You get so much support so that I have never been disappointed after a post. Sure to get a response.

I have been told by Suman that this is the most widely read novel which he has written. Even though we have stayed together for close to 16 months I have never read the book once. But you can catch up, Sunnu - novel by Suman Kumar, read it and you know why I miss it so much.

Tomorrow (17th August) lots of things to do

1. Play football
2. Go to office and try to delight the customers
3. Search for a house for belov's brother
4. Circulate the resume of Suji to consultants.

My god will I ever be free from all these......

I think, enough is enough I should start something new in life. My company is not going to help me anymore. I think I should seriously look for options.

One is here alexna@myiris.com - source Naukri.com - Lotus Notes Developer at Chennai, shall give it a try atleast.
