Strong statements

Indians are unprofessional.

Had it not been for our attitude of "servitude", Indian IT and exports industry would not be where it is - the White man has forced us to work hard and deliver quality.

Other than family-owned businesses, there is hardly any other business that has achieved great success - nepotism is not only widespread but also a reason for sustained business performance by the Indian family-owned business houses.

It's been a while...

Lying sick in bed all day long. Watching the hours creep by. Makes me realize how quickly the days are flying by. A sales job makes each day gone by seem like inching closer to death - if the numbers are not as per target, then each day adds to the cup of misery.
However, it is important to have goals - and plan - and execute to get to that goal. So, sales is making me set goals for myself - which is important - else, it's like running around like a headless chicken.

2 months exactly to go for marriage. No cold feet yet - but a realization that effort should be continuous.

Its been a while

Post-engagement, pre-marriage, new job: the busy-life. More of running around on the personal front and getting my feet wet on the professional front. Quite a lot of action with no great results to talk of! Hopefully, those should come by soon.
Joining the new job has been a good decision so far... lot of intellectual work...combined with sales. "Value-selling" as they call it. Better than transactional product selling, for sure.
A step in the right direction...but I need to perform as a sales guy first - for the company, and as an intellectual for my own personal growth agenda. Seems very much possible though.

Need to go back to the mindset of living for the day - back to the college days - more activities and action.
