one of my favorite quotations

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover - Mark Twain, author

A self fulfilling prophecy..

A false but popular belief seems true if it is believed by majority of people. An unpopular or a new idea though strong in its potential is generally not accepted by masses and is always in danger of oblivion . Also a strong idea enforced by a strong marketing effort in advertising becomes accepted in a similar way as a self fulfilling prophecy will become true after a decent amount of time.

Things to consider before joining software company

I would like to enumerate some of the things which goes through my mind when I am about to join a software company .Firstly I would like to consider the domain where I am going to work and whether the job I am getting helps me specialize in my field each passing day. Will the technology I am going to work on and skills I am going to learn remain in demand ten years from now? Only sure way to progress in your career is to be better at something you know how to do best.Secondly I would consider what salary the company offers . Money is sure important for me. If there is an opportunity in a company to work abroad surely there is more money indirectly.Thirdly I would like to envision myself whether I would like the work which I am going to do 5 days a week 9 hrs a day.There is no point working for a company where your primary responsibility is doing quality analysis in excel sheets.Lastly I would consider the brand name of the company.

About grumbing colleagues and few indian entrepreneurs

I guess if want some more audience for my blog I have to write more . Also it is a good way to share your feelings -(getting ideas from a book Anne frank-the diary of a young girl i read recently) and as Anne says to unload her mind.
It really surprises me that people grumbles all the time when they are in a foreign country that they miss India so much,they dont want to work there and want to come back and how they miss their family. I don't feel the same because if I am abroad I will thoroughly enjoy myself,will mix up with foreign janta and enjoy the rich lifestyle. If they have to grumble so much why they have to go there in first place ;there are lot of good institutes in India itself.
Another thing that bothers me is why there are so few entrepreneurs in our country. India is booming like never before and people from all over the world would love to be here. Some reason I can guess is fear of treading on unknown path and great family pressure of stable job and then timely marriage. I know my parents wouldn't be pleased at all if I went on the path of entrepreneurship one day. India need leaders as never before and there is a wealth of opportunity for those who care to look around.
Bye for now.I will write regularly from now on i promise.
