July had been a month of various changeovers for all good and has been very coinciding in terms of fulling my needs. One of such changeover is the shift of my home to BTM as an interest to bring my mother to Bangalore and be with me and my brother. Coincidentally my friend could accommodate me in his room where he was staying all alone. I would like to thank my friend +Aswin Sudharsan for the act.
I had successfully completed the "POSA course on Android" from Coursera with distinction. I have decided not to take any more online courses until I make use of the knowledge that I had gained from my courses. As part of that, I have planned to start developing an android app per week and learn the concepts as I build them. This is an inspiration obtained from various forums of geeks expanding their knowledge and technical acumen by dedicating themselves to learn/build an app a day for 30 days or so. Hope to build some useful apps (personally!!) and gain confidence on my learning.
A very big step in my life would be the act of buying a house. This had been my dad's biggest dream of me. Based on my friends suggestions and gathered information, I am prepared to consider buying a property at Rupenna Agrahara, Silkboard, Bangalore. A short video of the property is published at http://youtu.be/EL6A2TShNlw. The groundwork on this purchase is being worked out. If the discussions ends up fruitful and get the loan needed from the bank, then I shall proceed forward with buying the property in which case the possession of the same would happen in less than 3 months time. I felt very happy to share this very act of consideration of a property with my relatives and well-wishers and felt like achieving something.
I had personally tried to improve my understanding on the system that I am working on by analyzing them with extra care. This enables me to address the task at hand in a better way. I had kept myself away from tracking my activities and felt that am not being honest to myself. I started to feel that the tracker that I use has to be inculcated as a habit and not to be considered as a task.
I personally felt energized to clear my backlogs and bring myself back on track with many things. This act has given me an edge to confidentially approach my tasks both personal and professional levels than getting bogged down with the backlog.
I personally felt very bad to completely miss out a viable opportunity to showcase some good work in the Hackathon happened at my company. Thanks to +Vasanth who showed his perseverance in bringing up a prototype that can be presented in the hackathon. Though it ended well, the sense of guilt doesn't make me to feel comfortable. Added to that, I tried to venture in another area where I don't even know a speck is to bring up a road-map to improve "Process Excellence" for my projects. Though I understand the literal meaning of the words and the context to an extent, it would really not suffice to come up with a road-map. Here again I failed to team-up properly and choose the right task for myself.
Overall the month of July had given a wake-up call to think and involve myself in a task of my likes and to bring more focus on the items that I commit and keep up the word. Also, the dream of purchasing a property and realizing it later this year is to be acted upon immediately.
Technically...
