My life in Software Industry


I have very less experience in Software industry i.e. 20 months. Till now I am very happy in this. May be I havent faced the cons of the industry, great challenges yet and I dont know anything about other industries, I am still positive towards it.

The first thing most people look in their jobs is "Salary"--Money they are being paid and thats the best thing in this industry. Good numbers in the payslip every month keeps the smile. Hikes increase its curve.

Enjoyable weekend...Working people really deserve a 2 day weekend. It is common in other countries...but not in India. Five days of working week runs away very fast and two days of weekend gives an enough break to relax. Thats a good time to cover many things... spending with family/friends, shopping, sleep etc...Those two days keep up feeling that I have a good life.

I see a small India around in the office: People from different states, different cultures work together. It is somehow exiciting. I go for lunch with my friends. Each one is from different state. We have specific and at the same time general topics to chat.

Getting lot of information sitting in chair:
I have full internet access in office and any any silly doubt/topic I get I can get lots of information into my eyes. Not only information...lot of entertainment. I open news, social network sites, blogs, discussion forms. I listen to songs...having coffee...reading some exciting news. But remember it is possible when Iam in free pool or in project which needs less of my mind.

I didnt write about my work here...till now it is very easy.
I know I haven't savour right work yet...Hope I will get it soon and one day I will write unhappily nagging about the industry.

Site to go around places

If you are very interested to go around places sitting before computer, www.43places.com is the best one...

Learn how everything works

www.howstuffworks.com is a site which takes a concept, thing, technology (say stuff) and explains how it works. Everyday, it updates the topics. If anyone want to get a general idea on any stuff, open it and search. By now it has a lot of stuff explained in it. It is covering all most all the fields like Auto, science, entertainment what not!!...After explaining deep about the stuff, it also gives details like market rates, which company provides the best. For example, if u wanna buy a Home theatre and dont know anything about its technology, which is the best provider, cost...you can read through "How Home theatre works" in this site and can go with full confidence on that product to purchase it.If you can spend half an hour in surfing this site reading about one stuff everyday, you will be filled with some good knowledge and will have some satisfaction for that you have learnt something.The explanation of the stuff is also stepwise and very clear. I like it a lot!!!
