Hello World!!

Seems like yesterday when I used to joke about how I can say Hello World in at least 5 languages... Before you set your brains rolling .. I am referring to computer languages. I spent many sleepless nights pondering over where my career is heading (nowhere.. said "The inner voice"); spoke to colleagues and friends I could count on to at least determine the direction I should work in to ensure I can keep paying my bills and take good care of me and my dear wife :)

Then, on an enlightened evening, I was struck with .. um mm ... well not that dramatic but it finally dawned on me that what works best for me is to stick to a technical role. So I sat down (finally.. after a lot of "This has to be done or..") with a computer and a notepad (Alas.. 5 years into IT has made my writing far from legible.. even for myself) and identified things I like doing. It was not easy.. believe me, but it was possible.

Hmmm .. looks like dust would have to come off all those books in my beautiful book rack and time would have to be spent at the computer.. not playing my favorite game but polishing my skills for interviews. After about two and a half months, countless calls, and tremendous support from Anita (my dear dear wife!) here I am with a very good offer and a HUGE sigh of relief.

Now that I have achived what I set out for, i beleive it is payback time. So, like a good netizen, I am going to "Pay it forward" by helping out troubled souls looking for a direction. At least show them the way..

So behold .. I am going to share my comb for all of you who still have hair
Oops.. picked it up from an adage I had read.. that experience is a comb that nature gives to man after he is bald... hope it makes sense now. Watchout people...

It pays to be an optmist
