World Wide Web
How many can feel that we are making use of internet to the full extent?
Using WWW for most of us it is just checking mails, search for relevant things through search engines, or some companies’ websites/homepages. But Internet is beyond just mail clients, search engines. There is this beautiful extension “Stumble” available for mozilla browser. It provides a status bar and links through which we can tag the pages we like by category and also add some comments. The biggest advantage is we can view web pages tagged and commented by other stumblers (users of “Stumble”).
View my stumbles here.
More to come on how to make use of this beautiful and powerful WWW to the extent possible.

Right Choice
Today I would like to share some thoughts on how the choices play a role.
I am sure, everyone during their college days would have dreamt of settling in a big company as soon as they move out of the Institutions. This idea would have been result of many influences around the individual. Say, Branding, Pay scale, Security of job, Career interest …
Last weekend I was on my way to home town. In the bus, I met this Engineering Graduate who is doing job as Systems Engineer in a reputed company. During the conversation, I discuseed on how the interactions with the Tech Leads, Project Managers and the CEO of the company goes on. He said that he can count on his finger how many times he had a chance to meet their superiors. Then I asked how will he update the work? He promptly said by mails. He went on saying how long it takes even to proceed on a small things, since they need to get approval from the immediate superiors. I agree that this process as mandatory for the big companies to keep track of the happenings in the company, how far as the individuals especially fresher are benefited.
I feel that a fresher should consider the following at the starting of their career:
* Do they have a chance to meet experts?
* Is the superior regularly checking his efforts?
* Is there any one around to share his views/interests?
* Is he capable of grabbing the expertise of experts around him?
* Is he learning at least one new thing/concept everyday?
Of course the list goes on. What I strongly feel that the fresher should look upon for the company where he has a chance to grow up in his career along with the company.
So it is a Right Choice between the career or brand, interest or salary.
