Coming back to life!

Floyd fascinated me - always, from the moment I heard them. It's just not that wonderful electric guitar chymes, it's much more. I often wonder what is it that makes a great musician? Is it the lyrics, the voice, the rhyme, the music or perhaps it's all of them... For me, what matters is the instant contact a song makes when I hear it.

And so, "Coming back to life" to say would be the best phrase to describe this post! I guess it will take few more outlandish thoughts for me to be there.

One step closer...

Well, it's been almost a year since I added stuff to my blog. A friend of mine (http://putativethoughts.blogspot.com/) re-inspired (?!) me to consider updating my blog again! And so...

Another event that instigated this action was an offer... from Singapore. It was too tempting, an opportunity to earn double than what I am getting now. In fact, it was a tough decision to make. Current scenario does not offer such chances (a long term overseas work)... yet, I rejected it!

For me two reasons were the most important that drove this action. One, I believe I've reached a point in my career where money is beginning to take a lesser priority than the quality of work I undertake. The second reason was slightly unusual. I had changed my job just 2 and a half months ago and I thought it was totally unprofessional of me to breach the trust of my current employer. Within a span of 2 months, my progress has been exponential, with responsiblities increasing day by day! On paper, I'm still a developer, but the role is much more!

This decision was... one step closer... towards being a true professional!

Purposeful...

What is the purpose of my life?! How often have I've thought of this!
The answer however, was pretty different every time...
Making money may be one of the objectives but not the primary.

Giving it more thought:
I tried to gauge "What do I want from my allotted n years?"
Invariably the answer was to get satisfaction in every task I undertake.
Now, satisfaction is pretty vague to quantify into the map of pragmatic world, the world we live in.

Being creative and quenching my thirst of creativity being one of my important goals, I realized that success for me is not in terms of monetary means (no matter what the need is).
Success (which eventually answers my first question) comes from nearing perfection!

Perfection... yes that is the ultimate aim!
