Project "personal"
Just Yesterday, I looked back at this one year at IBM, and realized that there was plenty & plenty of fun in my life all this year, that gave happiness to my soul, but then, there was another side of my pouted heart, which was loosing the charm of actual shishir, who was good at his academics too. I felt I was not performing well, par what I can do, except completing my projects on date and delivering them, I learnt not much, technically except some UNIX and just more than some JAVA, the thought of completing my certification in JAVA has been following the same thought since I thought, what ever the reason, I am, I thought didn’t give much importance to that and to improve my skill set technically, there was no pragmatic, realistic and tangible strategy I adopted for time management to allocate a few hours for learning. Most of my friends who were with me all this year were shuffling to other companies, this was another reason may be which brought the thought of "start reading and improve my technical skills". To end all the resentment and to see myself holding the SCJP certificate in another one month, (that is too much time I know!! but I have to beseech god to make me some time from these tight schedules now.) I wanted to change my regular schedules and concentrate on what I now want to. I have to garner some confidence now to excel, and I am sure It is more often than not that I have taken oath, the others follow after I am through......
For all this, resolutions have to be made, for this Aug-Sep-Oct at least, a few of them which I desperately wish to follow
1) Wake up early and do my regular morning workout exercises to shed the few pounds which I put-up for the past one year and gather my fit and fine older shape of mine
2) Reach office not after 10AM and Leave not before 10PM, for what ever reasons.... Read those PDFs while free and bored or dejected with the project work
3) Complete the rest chapters for SCJP certification, may be plan to write java 1.5 exam than 1.4 instead
4) Stop Blogging until I finish my certification by next month. Sorry friends I can't do this, but I have to, no choice.
5) Stop chatting on yahoo and gtalk through out the day with friends and family, I am uninstalling them now :(
6) Check my personal mail boxes once in the morning and once in the night while leaving.
7) Same with my Orkut, No orkutting all day, reply to the scraps in the evenings and write some in the morning.
8) Start writing my diary, which I stopped a couple of months back again.
9) Start eating a morsel atleast three times a day.
10) Stop spending too much generously, and save 10K from now.
11) Read the TOI and Hindhu headlines for not more than an hour and half at office.
12) Start some serious prepration again for my CAT .
13) Work seriously at office to complete my projects and read when ever I find time.
14) Stop watching too much TV at room, but enjoy the weekends to max,thats the only way I can be revitalized I know that!!! .....So catch u in a month friends......cheers and Bye until then

Hi Shishir.. I have felt the same for some time. But the truth I realised later on is that, we cannot see our personal growth as we grow. During these days you would have learned a lot. You will realise it later, when you start your own personal project, or work on some other different project.

I would suggest you to go for 1.5. Why should we get certified for some older version of a language? If you have time, I would ask you to wait till Sun opens 1.6 certification.. :D
Wish you all the best!!
