Looking back to last year and next…

mmm… another year is gone… that was my 3rd year surviving in software development world and 2nd year in .net. Well… have I achieved my targets last year? Were there any targets?

Most importantly I was doing my 2nd year in a one company. I used to jump from one company to another staying not more than 6 months in a one place. What makes me to stay there? There were lot of reasons but primarily there are good peoples.

Last year lot of things happened to me in carrier wise. Continuously I hit the top in developer tests in the company and got rewarded. I got a designation I planned to achieve in couple of years later. Well now I have to work very hard to fit into that. Last year I learned lot but I couldn’t satisfy whether I got enough.

Finally I brought a car. There were lot of humors went in the office on that lol…
Ok, I got lot of plans this year on the car. Have to install good audio system and may be some modifications… will see…

I achieved to MCAD and this year has to continue that into MCSD as well as look for new .net certifications.

My brother who is a SL naval officer came back from India after 1 year special training at Indian navy. My home got filled with joy since he was at home after one year and we a are very bounded to each other. But that joy doesn’t seem to last long as the war is like to start again. In the first day when he is returning home from Trinco a terrorist attack kills 15 SL naval personals. That convoy was the same that my brother transported but on its second trip.
Couple of days ago brother called me and told another tragedy happened to them. Tigers had attacked one of their Dvora’s that was patrolling in the sea. That also killed 13 naval personals including his 2 fellow officers. You have to have someone in security forces if you want to feel how tension it is.

Thinking about friends it’s a wonderful year. I got couple of good new friends. Ludmal, AJ and Gogula. (hay Lud we got to know last year or before that???) Those three are really good guys anyone should have. Anyway Ludmal is not working with us anymore. That’s sad. Hay we miss your company pal… we miss your songs and guitar but also a great relief to all … just kidding man… I remember we cried when you were singing songs and playing the guitar (he always dreaming like that)
To Dinesh last year was very special. …now he is a father of two children’s. Hay be more responsible man… you are older now… just kidding…. Hay this man is very good in bearing responsibilities.

From the first day in the Logical Systems this guy gave me a very big hand to improve my programming skills since I was a newbie to the field. Still I could remember in the first day he teaches me how to use collections instead of datasets. Sometimes we had little arguments also. But… boy in most cases he was right. (I think he can remember I had used select * in sql queries ha ha…) His sql skills were awesome. If I have achieved sth in these 2 years this man has to be responsible for that. (Good or bad …lol…)

And Dinesh was awarded as MVP which is the most important thing happened to my friends. His great contribution to the software community not only SL finally awarded. Well done man keep it up. We are proud of you.

Thinking about drawbacks of last year, I can remember I paid fees for some exams but didn’t do. That’s wont happened in this year. :) And I got full membership of a gym and half membership of another but didn’t workout in either. Have to go back to gym this year…

So what will or should be my future targets?.... No matter what I’ll doing but have to do it right… good or bad… that’s it…I don’t think I’ll do any bad things right… :)
