On 25th day of last month, I completed one year in "Bangalore - Phase 2".
I had to live some of toughest days in the my life during "Bangalore - Phase 1". Those were the years 2002-03, when I was badly looking for a good job for my profile. I remember talking to myself - rehearsing what to talk to the HRs at a semi-conductor co. - to put my case forward so that they can consider respecting the Campus Offer I got from them... I hardly got a chance to talk to them in the end. Finally I had to take up a job half-heartedly just to keep myself occupied and gain "experience". I had been on the Bangalore roads amidst dust and smoke, carrying DSL modems and looking for addresses for installation. I had burnt mid-night oil in different Telephone exchanges across Bangalore for migrating low-density to high-density DSLAMS - to minimize the service downtime for the end customers. Very useful "Network Service Provider" experience. In mid 2004, I moved to Chennai for a job that finally matched my profile.
Compared to Phase 1, the Phase 2 in Bangalore has definitely been more rewarding.. the year has gone very fast... Staying closer to office, I was able to put more time on work and go beyond the expectations of the Mgmnt... My son too got old enough to attend a interview for Nursery admission. :-). My money management has been bit poor in the last one year - took too many risks by investing Small cap companies and lost good amount of money. Hopefully I don't repeat the mistakes again.
I need to be more sensitive about the Health aspects and loosing money in Stock market.
Looking forward for the happier years ahead...
