First one
So finally I have caught on like many others to write my mind into a blog. I always wonder if people have the time to read stuff like this unless its from an important person. I did discover a whole lot interesting minds from many other blogs while glossing over their material. Wonders of the net never stop surprising me just as the open source movement has.
Anyways, I hope to pen (or is that type ?) down over future blogs my thoughts and views and interests. I have some average guy views on the concept of open source, I love music in all forms (can actually manage to sing Indian songs) except anything resembling cacophony, love new technologies, new gadgets but am not into the gaming ones, love reading books but prefer a concise edition (dont have the patience to sit through anything that does not get to the point).
A few weeks ago, I attended a time management and personal leadership day course. Expecting only a pep talk going in, I came out changed with a fresh outlook. Many times we humans lose sight of the big things we want to achieve. Day-to-day work and priorities can overwelm and obscure these end goals leading to frustration and stress. The course helped chart out a way to identify long term goals (yeah! yeah! heard a lot of 'em pop books), and then to transform them to short term goals that get further broken down to weekly and then daily goals mixed with day-to-day priorities. The duh! point of it all was the need define the various different roles we assume in our daily lives and specify the big rocks in each of these roles for the long, medium, short and interim time periods. I follow this to a lot of immediate benefit with more to come.

This is a personal weblog, I do not speak for my employer.
