Will be regular
Just to say that I will be more regular on my blog now. So, keep checking.
This blog is all about my experiences of this long and eventful journey called life.
Humorous Dialogs from the movie "When Harry met Sally" to just set the right tone for this post :)
I wanted to write about the 1 year I spent in oracle but there is so much to write that I can not get enough time for that. I want to thank again my colleagues 'khalil', 'maithily' & 'shylaja' for their helping nature. After (non)working experience in oracle, I was really afraid of going for academics again. It seems amusing to me that my friends from iitk think that it should not be hard for me but my friends from oracle think completely otherwise. Sometimes I wonder what is my real face: The one, my iitk friends know or the one, oraclites now. I am trying to make a balance between between fun and work. But for now balance is in favor of studies & work. Initially it was very difficult to sit for long and study, solve assignments etc. But I am getting better with time. I like the work given by my guide and courses are not boring. Moreover people in my research group are friendly and helpful. I feel so lucky that I have 'anna'(she is canadian:) ) as a pretty good friend in my group. She is so friendly and so nice that she can make anybody friends in few minutes. Thanks anna! So me back to work again after a long gap and despite hectic schedule I like it here. Its time to get serious about my career.
I was thinking about posting my experiences in Calgary for a long time and I am glad that I am doing it now. I am sorry about being inconsistent in updating my blog. I hope that now I won't break this habit of writting the blog. For those who dont know, I left Oracle after working there for one year, and joined masters program in geomatics engineering at University of Calgary. This is the link of my research group http://dprg.geomatics.ucalgary.ca/. lemme answer a simple question: how difficult is studying, after working for a year? Its difficult in monetary terms but feels good if you are really interested in the field you have chosen. But it brings again a lot of uncertainty and tension in life. After tasting the chill life of a MNC like oracle it is little bit difficult to again face challenging environment( Assgnments bahuuu....:) ) of an academic institution. Getting good food is also a major concern as unfortunately we indians dont get cheap food like chinese get in foreign land. Enough of this I am going to tell something about calgary now. Calgary is the largest city in the province of Alberta, Canada. Calgary is the third largest civic municipality, by population, in Canada: Courtesy Wikipedia. This place has awesome natural beauty. Shootings for movies like Tum Bin, Koi Mil Gaya, Dus etc. took place here. Unlike europe the houses are well seperated here, each one having a well maintained lawn.
Some ppl say emotions are main thing in life whereas others say that being emotional is a hindrance to growth and mental peace. Even some ppl consider it as weakness. So what r pros and cons of being emotional or otherwise? What I think is that being emotional is very necessary if u want to enjoy the life to its fullest. But dont let ur emotion fool u. sometimes they r very deceiving and u get trapped in them. Be emotional but dont be blind. Actually it happens a lot of times that emotions blur our vision and we become biased. Emotions are like a spell when u r into it u cant know that its a spell and when u come out of it then it seems that u were fool. Sometimes we cant help it and we have to flow with emotions. Being emotional brings a major disadvantage that u get hurted very easily and that can steal ur mental peace. Best thing seems that keep ur expectations low but dont ignore other ppl's expectations frm u. I always want to achive proper balance between emotions and mind. I hope I will succeed someday and till that day my friends plz forgive me if I have ever hurted you. Thats all for now. Keep visiting and keep posting ur comments on my blog.
