After a drab two months the day finally came when I had to leave for Trivandrum. June 11 - yet another time I had to pack my bags, yet another time I was leaving home. But this time around I was very indifferent to the things that lay ahead of me. I had a few plans in mind, a vague idea of where I want to be in a few years from now. Apart from this, it was all very blank.
The training acted as an excellent platform to touch base with peers who were joining with me and the top level management who gave many insightful views on how Information Technology and the Services domain is shaping up. The batch as a whole had lots of fun. Out bound learning with National Adventure Foundation (NAF) gave the official flavour to it. We made good use of the free time to visit Kovalam, Kanyakumari, Alleppy and Trivandrum City. We also caught up with Dasavatharam movie in Trivandrum just a few days after its release - this proved to be quite an experience especially for people who were not used to seeing such huge crowds thronging the theatres to catch a glimpse of their favourite actor.
The whole time had its big share of happiness and a short but significant share of sadness. End of the day, I personally feel that whatever we end up doing in our profession is all a part of the bigger plan that is beyond our control, beyond our realm of logical thought process. This means "give your best so that you'll be able to get an idea of the bigger plan some day in the future".
Personal thoughts apart, I find myself in an excellent position to enjoy the responsibilities, get an entirely different perspective about an entity for which I have infinite respect and admiration and be a part of the march towards success.
I haven't yet thought fully about the future of this blog. My vision is to make this blog as an enabler for my work. But this doesn't mean personal stuff will be shown the door. It's just that its share will come down. My next post will be on Consulting - My Initial Opinion.
Finally, some pics...
