Complicated life

As of today I have 2 years and 34 days of IT experience and I am totally confused with what I have to do with my future. This is an important stage of my life where almost all options are closing down and I have very less time to decide some option and freeze it. Today I was talking with Tata (Bhuvaneshwar) regarding the same and he told he was also in the same condition when he was in Hyderabad that is approximately an year back. He also told he has a clear idea of what he is going to do in next coming years. The problem I am facing seems to be difficult to me since I am interested in each and everything. While preparing for IAS I think that IAS is not for me and I should go for management side by pursuing MBA and while gathering information regarding MBA in India I feel like I am more interested in technical side and I should continue my career in technical side only either by doing Masters in technical side or by doing some certifications, sometimes I feel like I should try for some projects in Infosys only in mobile application development side, and other time I feel like I should join some public sector organization like bank. I am facing this confusion from my college days only but never bothered to find solution for this. But now I am feeling like I should at least decide the priority of my interest and focus accordingly. Ok thinking like this I charted out my priority list. First priority is mobile application development, next IAS, next public sector organization, next management side and lastly doing masters in technical side. Now a new problem aroused, my first priority is mobile application development and I have to make sure that I will get some project related to my interest in Infosys only. For this, I mailed so many guys who are in good position in Infosys only and got some information. There were good projects in CMEX and in PED. Now again I had to decide the priority of IBU. In CMEX there are good projects and the project which I got to know was about telecom domain, in PED the guys were building some application in Android and in Mac OS also, in PED there are no clients and it is a product development group. I was fascinated by seeing the work place of PED and decided to give more priority to PED than CMEX. Now I mailed my DM saying I need IBU transfer to PED since I am interested in what they are doing currently. My DM did not reply and after waiting for some 15 days I went personally and he told in our IBU only there are some good projects going on related to mobile application development and introduced me to some person. At this stage my decision on IBU change did not help me as my complicated life had something else in the store. I agreed to remain in the same IBU and currently I am talking to a person for project in our IBU only. Keeping this whole picture aside I have to think about my second priority career option also i.e. IAS. To prepare for IAS I need to spend dedicated amount of time for preparation. If I start preparing for this, then my first priority option will suffer since I am new to mobile application development and I need to learn from scratch. For IAS there is an age limit and I need to give an attempt before my age crosses the limit and hence if I neglect IAS now it is almost same as neglecting forever. These constraints add lot of pressure in deciding the options. Whatever decision I take now will surely change rest of my life and this is what taking hell lot of time. Everybody faces this kind of situation or is it only me I am totally unaware of. If this is common problem for all people of my age group then how to resolve this in an optimized way? If it is not common problem then why the hell I am facing this? Am I so lucky that I have got so many options to choose or am I so unlucky that I am unable to decide what to do with my life? For some questions I really do not get any answers.

House party with the team

It all started over a cup of coffee. Me and Shree were having coffee and I mentioned about hosting a house party in my place. I just mentioned about my thought and as always Shree got pumped up with all her energy and pushed me to send the invite immediately. I always think and think and think, but always delay in executing. I had this thought from almost an year but never took that initial step of inviting. It was Friday evening when I sent that invite for Wednesday. I had already decided I would be working from home on Thursday and from friday anyways I would be on vacation. So that would be an ideal get together before my vacation.  I could not do any arrangements over weekend as I was totally busy with other things. On monday people started accepting my invite and I started to realize the open tasks. There were mainly 3 things in my list; logistics, food and drinks. Logistics was the main thing. Monday a...

Love/Arranged Marriages

Few days back I was discussing about marriages in India and the discussion was mainly on whether to get married to a person whom we find ourselves or to a person whom our parents find. In both the cases we have to compromise on many things and in both the case after compromise also we are not assured that the partner is right for us. In arranged marriage, we will marry a person whom our parents decide. Our parents chooses a person on various criteria like his/her family, his/her current job, his/her current salary, his/her economic condition, his/her horoscope and all non-sense stuff which really doesn’t matter. These things do matter but according to me the only thing a person should look in his partner are his/her thinking patterns. Parents give much more importance to the family, and in this case i am totally against to their thinking. I have seen so many cases where the sons/daughter thinks quite opposite to what their parents think. For instance there is a friend of mine...

Crazy Movie-Marathon

If someone asks, ‘what is the one thing you have done which you will probably never do?’ I would say this. Yesterday (2/24/2018) I watched 4 movies back to back in theatre. If I think I would be shocked myself. Fuck me what the hell was that, 4 movies I mean seriously??? Yes, I watched it and to add more I watched all 4 movies sitting in 2 nd row from the screen in the same hall, same place. Now Oscar fever is going on everywhere and AMC theatres are playing Oscar nominated movies back to back on 2 consecutive Saturdays. First Saturday 4 movies would be played, and second Saturday 5 remaining movies would be played. We just have to buy a day pass and watch all the movies played on that day. Yesterday they played ‘Phantom Thread’ at 10:30 AM, ‘Lady Bird’ 1:00 PM, ‘Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri’ at 3:00 PM and ‘The shape of water’ at 6:00 PM. AMC must have spent some time choosing the order of the movies I would say. First movie’s genre was Drama/Romance, second was...
