A Time to let go.. a time to hold on

Ahh here I am, my first (and going by the looks of it, last too) post of Aug08. Its proving to be quite a month. India is having the time of its life at the Olympics. One Gold, two bronze, phew.. finally the medal count exceeds ONE. Going by the looks of it, we may still fails to make the cut in top 50. However, hopefully this is a start for things to change in forward direction.

Bengal is going in reverse directions btw. As usual. Mistakes of 1980s are getting repeated again. Then we drove off IBM. Now its TATA. I guess some people will never see the bigger picture. Petty politics at its ugliest best. 

Iphone got release in Blore last nite. Airtel reports 300 sales on 1st day.. Vodafone 15. Reality check here. In China and Japan the numbers were in thousands. I guess 31K for iPhone is one the most ridiculous pricing of recent times. In US its just 200$. 

I guess you must be wondering whats on with the heading of this post? No one holding/letting go anything.. :-) I have finally decided to let go of wipro folks. The decision took some time coming. Last three-four months was a kind of eye opener for me. There were things that desperately needed to be changes inside out. But me, being a mere SW Engg was in no position to make that happen. Call from Kyocera came. I did not think twice about grabbing it. Raksheshji told me once.. learn from your failures and never repeat them. Last six months at wipro was more of a failure for me personally. Only lesson I take from this phase is never to make the same mistake as I saw being made, when I am in their position. I could not be more vague isnt it :-) Trust me.. I can not be more specific on this.

Anyways, only thing I am lookin for is to join Kyo asap. LTE beckons there. Cant hardly wait to start the chase again :) I just wish I could have left my first job on a happier note. But then again,  goodbyes are seldom happy.

As for holding on is concerned, today am holding onto something for 2 months :-) Good news is, hands are not yet paining (touch wood). Hopefully the journey continues !!
