Highs and Lows
Posted by Guhan | Filed under thoughts
The last 2 months have taken me on a joy ride with lot of highs and lows! It all started off when certain plans did not materialize and I was at a all time low, I even started writing up a very negative blog post, but decided not to. After all, I did not need more negativity. But all of that changed when I participated in the University hack day and got to meet up with a lot of students. Its always a rush when you can have a good discussion with students. And I think coming from a big company helps, they always tend to listen to you more eagerly :-)
Then there was another high, I won an award in office. But the bigger high was when loads of friends, colleagues and family wished me the best and told me I deserved it. The family making it to the award function was icing on the cake.
My profile made it to Yahoo! careers site and was also the photo for Yahoo! technology in the careers site, another high.
Me and my wife love traveling, and a holiday together is pending for a long time now. We have just been planning the last couple of months, but nothing finalized as yet. Another low.
Then in my cricket, I had a good start to the year, scoring a good 50 in a corporate tournament match. Then a series of low scores and again I started feeling low about my game. Recently, i seem to have found my form back, and it was a thrill winning the match against Wipro this weekend, and I am happy i contributed.
Its that time of the year when all salaried slaves expect their increments. The industry has not been doing good, and last year, there were no hikes. This year, the appraisal was again a low. Was really disappointed with whole thing. Another low.
I tweeted that may be the outcome of all this has to be “change”. Time will tell
