A more aggresive, impatient and frenzy world!

Alas, The good ol' days are gone! The world has become obsessed about information, speed of delivery and efficiency by multitasking! I am starting to observe the first signs of stress and i really wish i do not burnout in this new impatient world. I miss my younger, more cheerful self! Reading back a couple of post reminiscing about how i had everything figured and the world made a lot more sense! (since i knew very little about it!) Made me want to catalogue my thoughts to preserve a small glimpse of myself at this juncture in life. Being a technology student i should be happy so see such prosperity in the field of technology however, i feel that this boom has started a negative spiral in the human society. Gone are the days, where you could while away your time sitting on the front porch or in the beautiful gardens of DSCE campus and talk to friends about irrelevant topics. Today, its all about sending emails, carrying work home, working through smart phones and laptops, having conference calls and tagging people on facebook! Digital life is very superficial! I think as people grow old the only reason they become more "mature" ( more boring to be precise ) is that they learn about processes and rules and that's where they start trying to fit i n and do what is the norm of the society. I am exhausted with all of it and am in dire need of a vacation.

I think the reason for the stress is due to the fact that for once i haven bitten more than i can chew. My headed has been polluted with career options, projects and constant bombardment of new information that the world is producing and streaming right infront to me. I have also registered for management exams of all acronyms possible (Probably my first mistake), on top of that i have no clue about Java and C# which are bread & butter subjects for computer Science Engineers. Well, you might say that the solution is pretty easy and you are partly right. Both of these can be solved if I spent some time in preparing for them. I hope what i say next will not lead you to judge me in anyway! But the real culprit is "Time" or gather the lack my skills to manage it well during this semester.

The semester too started off on a bad note with the CampusUnify project, which i was working on with my friends, hadn't reached its deployment stage as planned. There was a lot of activity and development but unfortunately the product itself hasn't yet seen the light of day! Its currently on hold and will probably be restarting it in jan. However there were a few bright and happy moments during the semester which i would like to highlight, for instance i had played host for the inaugural event of Coffee with CEO where we had invited Suhas Gopinath( Youngest Entrepreneur in the world ) and quiety recently, i won a paper presentation competition. I presented a paper on "CrowdComputing using SocialCredits" where i talked about how to create a cloud application which can leverage the new social fabric of internet (using facebook or google id) to provide new employment opportunities. What sought of applications, where to deploy and how to reward was what my paper talked about. It was a research paper which gave a an interesting observations about business process outsourcing will evolve over the internet by 2020. Fortunately, judges loved it and we were rewarded. I must acknowledge the contributions made Apoorva, who basically took care of the report writing and format. Its a great working alongside with her! The work just fell into place, intuitively we knew our responsibilities and executed it timely.

I have my TOEFL exam due in a week and GMAT due on Dec 2nd. Will let you know how my experience was and maybe even the scores as well provided they are worthy being published! :)
To how ever is reading this.. Cheers and have great day!
