This is the funniest title I could think of for my near-about three years in IT industry. If you ask me how I felt when I left previous project. Really speaking I was relieved. I scared night shifts(I am BE first class with out any night out ;) ). However, when I look at previous project from my current project, I understand that my previous was much more complex project and we were not technologically competent.
I am strong in logic. Hence I think I am good in programming. However, point is how many times I applied logic or I did programming in my previous project. It was not lack of opportunity, it was lack of time. Out of 9 hours we used to work, much of the time was spent in following SLAs and processes. So when one of my friend from Mumbai says that if you dont work hard right now when will you work hard? I say that I am ready to work hard. However, work should interest me. If I am not competent enough I must be given opportunity towards it. If I am judged through how many extra curricular activities I am doing rather than how I am working then it will be a wrong decision. A wrong decision for me and for the organization too.
I am not against process. I think process streamlines your operations. However, when a person develops from one year to another and his brain is not given enough challenging tasks he will get frustrated. As an intellectual person you are not getting chance to prove yourself then chances are you will move out. Again opportunities are also very important in life. Just imagine you get married and have one kid and you are offered an onsite opportunity. Certainly you may not want to disturb their lifes. Lack of opportunities at correct timings can be very well reason of frustration and boredom.
One thing is for sure, I met friends of life at my previous projects. It was very well mixture of simple, good, intellectual, smart and very smart people. I learnt a lot of project/management tricks from their. It was really nice to be a part of it.

From my DIARY!!
Scene of sunday morning... My sister called me and said "Chintu, my Mummyji is going to Rajasthan and we have to go to Pune Station to see-off her." I donot want to go.I mean what is the need, she was travelling to our home(Pune) in afternoon and till that time she was with her. So it was not supposed to be a bharat milap scene.
I did not wanted to say her no over the cell-phone. In addition, I thought that anyways it will be rainy in the evening, so why say no when we have rains to blame.
She reached home around 3:00 PM and around 3:45 PM we started for Ravivar peth for some shopping. I told her while driving that there is no need to go to station to see-off. She said I promised mummyji that I will come. I did not paid any heed to it and teased her about her divine love and respect towards her mummyji. We were supposed to buy a school bag for her daughter, but we looked at thousand things and passed time well. It was around 5:30 PM we started back to reach at Big Bazar around 5:50 PM. We had a big list to buy as this month's sodexo coupons came just three days back. We finished around 6:45 PM and reached home by 6:55PM.
After such a hectic day and travelling, she wanted me to take her to station in 45 mins, to catch the train which was supposed to leave at 7:50 PM. Nothing was prepared at home. Coffee was not ready, nor were poha and not even the so called travel special aloo ka sabzi. My dad started scolding us that why we came late. I started telling her that it is impossible to catch the train. My mom said that it will not be easy to prepare all this and go to station, if rains came. The whole atmosphere against her. Everyone saying no. My sister was calm and firm minded, did not even replied us. Just said, I promised mummyji, I have to go. She moved fast, cut aloo into pieces, put poha in the pan, prepared coffee. Every thing ready in 10 mins.We moved out of house. I was still negative, I looked up and said its going to rain. She said you have jerkin, I am going to get wet by rains, why are you worrying, drive quickly. Since I drive by same road, I knew how to reach fast and by 7:40PM we were at pune station. I went to take platform tickets and she moved to boogie. She met her mummyji.
We came back home, my dad said it was just because of her firm mind, she made all of us move and we were able to make it. Lesson to learn is never say die in all odds.
