Remain employed for next 5 years
This is a big challenge. When I look around then I see all new technologies coming. I am not sure whether any particular technology will remain in the market for long enough to think starting working on. Things change very fast. All these technologies have steep learning curve. Challenge is making balance in investing learning time and money and getting returns. Forget about employment for 5 years, here nobody gives assurance of even getting the employment. I have no idea about health sector.

Need to find something, which nobody can snatch from me :). May be my own business :o

This is great site. They have very cool deals. Visit it Outpost.com

Up to schedule? :(

Mann it’s difficult to stay up to daily schedule. I started wakeup early in the morning and still I find no time for the activity I wanted to do (don’t worry the activity is reading some other than technology stuff ;). In fact I cant even consistently wakeup at specific time. Bad/good Dreams, bed and some other things some times ruin my sleep, and after wakeup I feel sleepy @ work in whole morning session. I anyway feel sleepy all around the day. Sleep is the big problem for me. Staying energetic, fresh and in ready to learn mode is a big challenge. I can hardly manage my daily routine and always dream of doing something else like hobbies, or knowledge upgrade :(. Now I decided to read some books after going home but I don’t know how time goes and I end up in bed @ night. I have to give time to my wife and son, for which I feel guilty if I don’t. It feels like got stuck in the vicious circle. Feels like cannot do anything in life. I wonder how these successful people find time for their activities. Take example of successful, young and married CEOs who have wife and kids of age 1 to 10/16. How does he perform all roles in his day-to-day activity very efficiently? Look at all these successful leaders they all do better time management. There are many examples like this. I want to get rid of time managing me and myself doing better time management. Hummmmm I still need to do something to improve on this. Let me know if anybody knows better solution on this.

In pursuit of update
Everybody now days say, ‘I will keep myself updated’. World is changing very fast and to cope with it I need to update myself regularly. Updates can occur in many areas like Knowledge, social, work related, personal, physical and mental. Technology area always demands frequent updates. I am playing different roles in life and in a stream I don’t really understand that my role has been changed and I need to update myself to be suitable for new role. E.g. transition from bachelor to married, normal man to father, becoming head of the household. These all needs very good update otherwise I do see some problems arising. Sometime updates are unavoidable and sometime can be delayed. After having child you have to update yourself, where as after taking admission to parenting class you can delay the update. Update can be a change in existing routine or thing and at the same time necessity of update can be outcome of some external change.
Computer users always have to update virus scanner or any other security updates in addition to updating regular software.
Actually I can write lot on this but I think this is enough for the blog. Finally I would say got UPDATE? :)

What we like and what we don’t, does it really matters?

In today's world everything is changing very rapidly. Technologies are changing everyday. Terrorism and war against it is changing world’s equations and balance. Economy goes up and down very rapidly in major influential countries causing ripple effect propagating in whole world. Money making equations changes rapidly. Since all these are changing rapidly industries are facing stiff challenge. Survival is becoming difficult. One of unavoidable outcome of this is layoff. All above-mentioned causes and effects are stirring the society in whole world. Common man (and woman) cannot plan in this situation long ahead. Who is benefited out of these? Is that a common man? So called leaders think that they are doing this for good of a common man. A common man has some likings and some disliking but I think circumstances put him in a situation to betray his likings and vice versa. Does common man has any voice? How can he make sure that his elected representatives are doing right job? Is there any better way to improve communication in between people for good? How long common man will be slave of the man made circumstances?

Best Free Software Online

The best things in life may not be free; but the free stuff ain't bad, especially when it comes to software. If you can't afford to fork out a fistful of dollars for your essential programs, or simply don't want to pay fealty to the Microsoft monarchy, you have options--and I'm not just talking about Linux (news - web sites). Browsers, word processors, e-mail clients, and a lot more are available for nothing. Of course, everyone's taste is a little different. Here are my picks for the best free software you can find.
