Monday blues

Posted on February 26, 2007 by Varun

It’s Monday. And I have been bitten by the Monday blues bug. Am sitting here, composing this post but have to go to office in another hour or so :-( I wish I could take a week-long vacation. Just pack my bags, take a few books, con some friends into coming with me and go someplace without any planning.

Recap 2006

Posted on January 1, 2007 by Varun

2006 was a very eventful year for me.

I finally managed to get a release from my project in January and moved to Delhi to work in the consulting arm of my company. I ended but being part of a very aggressive but nice team. I was the youngest in the term both in experience and in age and almost all my teammates acted as very effective mentors. My 2 bosses played a key role in giving me very interesting assignments to work on and that enhanced both my professional knowledge and my confidence. Continue reading →
