Second Year in Gujarat

Year 2001 - After completion of one year training, which actually not only improved me in my knowledge about physics (which is related to work) but also made me handle some of real project to start on research, I was ready. I was ready to take a responsibility for making something work and putting my head and body till it works.
As I was interested in computers, i took every opportunity to do a hands on if it can be done on a PC. Then it is a analysis program in Fortran or simple graphical design in Auto-CAD everything was fun to me. I could spend hours trying many things to get output in different ways. But this was not the only life at work. I had to do some of field jobs and play with tools, electricity etc to make my living.. Though it sounds boring but it was actually not. if you combine that PC work and this field roaming together, you actually have a total fun of life infront of you. What else you want?
Things doesn't stay same as you want. Slowly a routine work get to you and you start looking for other fun in your life. I had a PC at home where I connected a TV tuner to watch cable. That was the time pass for me at home. Living in Ahmadabad it was going great till that horrible happened in 2002. It was Godhra tragedy of Gujarat which disturbed almost every person even though if he doesn't care a bit about any religion.
I too not feeling safe, shifted to nearby city Gandhinagar where things were better from safety point. Got a good home 1BHK at 1st floor. As time passed things got normal and again started in their daily life. Godhra was past and everybody wanted to forget it as a bad dream. With me getting more involved in R&D work, reality started getting to me that it was not actually the type of work which a software engg. will like to do. I wanted a full time thinking in terms of logic and application while R&D is a mixture of regular work with typical office paper processes. Na.. that's not for me.
Software industry had also started hiring as dot com bubble burst was over and IT industry has matured to keep its pace in a better, careful way. I also ran to catch on this again started train to get my seat and vola... I got one :). I got selected in one of top Indian software company. It was a very good start for another journey..
I quit my job in Jan 2003 to join my ultimate aim (or so you can say at that time). I joined my dream IT company in same month which you will see in my next post onward. See you there :)
