Busy All The Way - Part 3

Days 5,6,7 (Working Day 3,4,5) since I am free.

Never thought that jobless days would be as busy or even more busy than a regular day at office.
With the number of calls and emails being answered, it is quite a tough time to catch up with everything.

While overall the prospects are looking good, it is definitely a period of apprehension. The motivation to keep going is the good feedback that I am getting from my Interviews. I finally stopped all job hunt on Friday and decided not to continue with it until Monday.

Some things that I did to focus on the search are

1) Configure outlook so that my emailing has an office feel to it (and also to get rid of the Yahoo blue indentation while replying or forwarding emails
2) Configure Google calendar to sync with my Android mobile phone. Gets me organised with tasks and meetings. The plus point is that SMS alerts can be set for the meetings and I will get the location and reminder by SMS even if I have turned of mobile data to preserve power.
3) Update email signature, linkedin profile.
4) Add numbers to phone contact list as soon as I receive a call.
5) Tweak SOHO for job search

Had a technical interview on Day 7, more details later.

So long, friends.

Your me, my me and the other me. A guide to be at peace with personal growth

This article is not a direct address to a problem statement, but a journey with me to certain philosophies that I have entertained in my quest for personal growth. There is a short and effective way to look at personal growth which I will come to in this article, one that I believe will help you to be more closer to peace with the practice of personal development.  I am thankful to many people in my life, for instilling in me a desire for personal growth in my life.  Both my parents have always been open to learning and cared to share some of their struggles with difficult choices and dilemmas associated with scenarios. A few school teachers stood out in vocalising their own personal learnings and set an example by embracing the incompleteness in spite of not being required to do so. I was fortunate to have attended a school that celebrated learning and instilled pride, largely thanks to the unconventional principal that held office there. The themes you can notice in these ex...
