 Once you decide to make change in your life, the path appears itself. I came across this youtube video  on how to remember what you read, because just passing your eyes over the text is waste of your precious time. I tried it on two books that I have been reading, Crime and Punishment and Designing Data Intensive Applications. I was amazed how much I enjoyed reading.  We have to rekindle our love for the art that we want to passionately bloom.  I wish this time I maintain the consistency, or even if I lose it, I restart sooner.  I now have two targets for this month, read more and code more, I will start reading other people's code to become a better programmer and work on finishing my bookmarked playlists for technical growth. Good night  and gratitude.

It's almost 1 month since my last post, after so much contemplation about what I need to do to stay consistent, I think I should write daily. Both code and articles. Sometimes, it becomes a necessity to stop overthinking and start analysing onto how one can make the full use of the resources that one has. Our brain only has a limited amount of energy and it should not be wasted into overthinking the things which we don't have control over. I had been in this state of chaos about how and when will I gain confidence on my technical abilities now that I have 7+ years of experience. I bought many books, subscribed to many newsletters and blogs to keep myself updated but the only thing I was actually doing was hoarding the materials. I was not making good use of them.  I need clarity on how I should proceed. I have few Udemy courses enrolled and half completed.  I have few books with few chapters read, and few github repositories in my starred list to be reviewed and understood. On...

 Happy work anniversary Lalit. Congratulations, you have successfully completed 7 years being in corporate world today. How do you feel about it ? Have you been enjoying the journey lately ? Remember the very first day of your job... ThinkAnalytics, the product team, straight out of SunBeam-CDAC Pune. Yes those were indeed tough 6 months in CDAC, but you took the hits and shone !  Today after 7 years of being an earning youth of this nation, if I look back .. do I see myself as a grown man, or just a kid with childhood fears .. but with money now.  The real question for me today is where do I want to see myself on the next anniversary. Do I want to be working in the same organisation with the same people, or in a dream company. Do I even have a solid dream for myself. Hell No! DREAM ON LALIT !!! HAVE AN ASPIRATION FOR YOURSELF.  Make your life worth living, have a purpose to chase for.  So what you are suffering from Bipolar, but that doesn't gives you an excuse...

 When was the last time you did something for the first time and continued doing it for a long time daily to see the results? Did you leave it in between because you got bored or it became harder ... or is it your true nature to just start things and never reach to a destination.  I have unfinished books lying around in the house, I have half completed courses lying in by learning basket and unaccepted truths lying in my heart, I have hurt people, I have done irreversible damage to my own soul, which I am ashamed of.  I don't carry a regret or guilt of not having been completed those things, but a sense of comfortable silence that lingers around my heart .. that says its okay to leave things unattended ... that haunts me the most , am I really that detached, even to myself that I see these things as a mere part of life and portray myself as unaffected by this. I had started this blog last week only, finally utilising my purchased domain name, and I was not consistent in t...

  Do you think people living in remote villages in mountains care about how rapidly AI is evolving? I think all they are concerned about is how badly their surroundings are getting exploited, how shorter the winters have become and how common the landslides in monsoons have become.  Don't you think that as the AI is evolving, datacenter space req and global warming will also rise! I am not saying all these because I fear AI, no. In fact , I welcome the non-dystopian AI to show us the right path to achieve world peace and find cure for life taking diseases. The massive impact AI currently has on the IT world is eye opening. And I am sure it will reflect in other industries also in the coming days, but to be able to coexist with AI, an industry will have to realign itself and make place for automation as well as retrain its workforce on the AI tools that belongs to that particular industry. Apart from that, we may have to keep an eye on the dystopian side of the AI, whether or n...

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes will stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been hundred times                                                  - Pink Floyd When you walk the long path of chasing a distant dream, you not only face the physical barriers, but the mental walls too. You often end up questioning yourself that the pain, the ordeals are truly worth it, specially when the destination  is not in sight. We all have one thing in common, despite our financial, mental or physical strengths, we all have limited number of hours in a day and we don't want to watch if wash away in chasing something that we are not confident about. We must choose our path very cautiously, as we may end up walking the wrong road for a long time before we realize that we truly are lost and ...
