Haven't written in a long time now. Things have been keeping me busy lately. But here I am, landed in California US; 3-4 weeks back, started working for new partner. This time it is going to be a while before I take off again.
So how has it been? I would say a little rough. Things are going great at work, with nobody knows what the exact requirements are, nobody at partner site is ready to own the product which supposedly we have to build, wow.. read it as complete fun. With these challenges, I am sure you will agree, life becomes real fun. You work in multiple roles..business analyst.. software designer and then developer, and in the process you learn a lot. And I am learning my bit I guess.
Settling down was another uphill task, which included looking for an apartment, cutting a good deal, buying a car among others. Now, these tasks were tough. I believe I underestimated these. I am expecting Craig List people to send me goodies for all the hits I have made to their site. I should be granted Gold membership with extra privileges. Man, I have spent hours everyday in last 4 weeks looking for a car on craiglist.org. It took me talking to more then 100 people over phone, to check out more then 10cars in person to buy a car, aah, finally manage to buy a Nissan Maxima, V6, 3.0ltr (3000cc).. powerful vehicle!!! Things have become pretty convenient since then, moving around has never been so easy. Public transport in this part sucks!!!
So in a nutshell, its been a roller-coaster ride so far, and hope it remains this much fun.
More soon!!!! (this is first of the US series..)
