Time flies!!!

This day, previous year.

Yes, its been a year since i joined the company i am working for. It was my first job and i had to learn what the "Software industry" is all about.

I still vividly remember the day, and the day before that day too, previous day, I had made sure i had enough time to make sure i have put all my certificates in the bag, made sure i am carrying all the documents the company asked me to get. On that day, couldn't sleep after 5 AM, though i usually get up only at 7:30!!! ;), made sure i finished all my daily chores before leaving home for my "first day @ office", so that i will be happy through out the day, and reached office on time, met new "colleagues", and had a blast that day, and going back home with the new ID card with my name and photo on it :). Life has really come a long way from that day.

Guess, i or more precisely all of us who have completed a year in the industry, have come a long way from being college going, "Happy-go-lucky" guys to thorough software professionals, i guess the latter part have to come our managers. Anyway, at least we believe we have come a long way.

For public buses to Office "Shuttles", For Bunks to Leaves, From classes to meetings, from labs to F2Fs ( Face to Face), from lab records to appraisal documents, from being intelligent to being wiser, looks like everything is changed, except the child like enthusiasm to achieve more in life, to reach greater heights in personal as well as professional career.

Through this year, we have seen a lot of changes as well, our near and dear friends moving abroad for studies, some going for a short stints as a official trip and coming back with a bulkier wallets and airbags :), some shifting 2 or 3 companies and finally ending up doing what they feel they are best at, from personal life, some getting engaged, some getting married and changing their last name and coming to some sorrowful facts, some of our near and dear ones, who felt happy along with us when we landed up with a job, are no longer with us in this world.

We have seen a lot in this eventful one year and hope we see many more like this, with more happier events and very less sad events.

Hoping to see greater heights in everyone's life

Nice article, yes one full year is an accomplishment - congratulations!

I wouldnt think 1 year makes one a thorough professional though, it only gives you a taste of the working environment - and it takes years to make a "thorough" professional.

This is the time to set goals, aim higher - now that you have one step into an organization. The goals are not merely to reach the next grade, but to become a well rounded professional, and learn from everyone around you, including the security in front of the building on all facets of the company.

Good luck, and may you all see many more successful years !!
