My First Book

Writing a book is one of the most creative activities that one can do. It provides an outlet for thoughts and ideas hidden in one’s mind. Since past couple of years I wanted to write a book. As a matter of fact, I did start writing it. Unfortunately due to lack of time I haven’t been able to complete it yet. I have named it “Changing Times”.
During my engineering studies the Indian economy wasn’t going great guns like it is today. Getting a job was tough; this created lot of uncertainty in my mind. After graduation I had to make a critical decision, whether to take a job at a call center or pursue higher studies in Advanced Computing. It was a tough one but I am glad I made the right decision. I opted to study further and landed up with a good job.
The experiences I had at my first job will remain with me for life. I was introduced to the corporate culture. This culture was new to me and there were many instances when I felt like a vulnerable novice. In many ways it has made me the person I am today. Although I learnt a lot technically, my book will be dedicated to what I learnt about people and their circumstances. Circumstances change and they change people along with them. This will be the underlying theme of my book. Manyatimes one may feel helpless at the turn of events and that is when you realize that it is better to change before time demands you to change.
Through this book I would like to share my experiences. Experiences of surprise, delusion, happiness, failure and success. The sinking feeling of betrayal and the exhilarating feeling of victory. The art to keep a secret and the art to get one out. The importance to have knowledge of happenings around and consequences of not knowing them. Experiences that taught me how to change time rather than changing along with it.
