Reflection

Well! It’s been three and a half years since I have left India and came here to the US. What have I done in these years? What have I learnt my Master’s degree notwithstanding? Why am I still here? am I scared to go back to my own country?

Life is no longer a challenge here. I have got a decent job and gained some good work experience now. I know for sure that I will not be unemployed ever. When I came here, my goal was to get a degree, some work experience and then go back. Right now I have got both. What else am I waiting for? Right now I am thinking may be its not enough, may be few more years will help me settle down better in India, may be an MBA will be worthwhile, may be it will help in starting up a business when I go back to India. Sometimes this makes sense, sometimes I think that I am just making all this up so that I don't have a make a decision now; so that I can put it off for few more years.

Sometimes I wish someone else could make this decision for me. But I know it won't work. I got to be the master of my own fate and I know that, but these decisions... gosh! What a drag. I wish work will get busier soon. Then I will sit in my cubicle and code my way to oblivion, to a blissful state where the hardest decision I have to make is whether to use an float or decimal :-)

Talking of float and decimal, I love my job when its just me and the machine. When someone prepares the requirements and someone else prepares the test plans and all I have to do is to churn out code, Life just makes sense.

Oh! Well, when I started with the topic Reflection, I was sort of thinking in the lines of places I have seen and people I have met. But it developed into random ramblings. They say, "If you are happy, clap your hands", I am saying "If you are indecisive, leave a comment". At least I will know I am not alone.

Hardest decision is to use decimal or float?? Hmm... you took me back to the college days... Here I don't get to write codes! All that is replaced by the tools and wizards! Somehow to dirty your hands with the code is a wonderful feeling!!
