Tech stuff

Searching surfing and delaying

From many days, I've been reading just one book " The confession -- JG ". I'm half way through it and it's really interesting. When along with work one prepares for studies, it's the hell. Everything gets procrastinated, all the tight schedules, travelling and many more things. Still one thing that keeps me up is TO DO !!! Doing so many things at one time is really difficult. When I used to study, I just used to study and same for work. Now everything has come together. At least now I'm seeing the start of "self-management". Working for at least 10 hours a day, travelling for 4. Taking time for everything in remaining time and believe me, studying when you are tired is stupendous :P

Focusing on lovely technology especially when it's the one that you've been loving from college days and get to work with it at job also. I'm now working with Oracle and SQL server as an administrator and preparing for entrance. Both being interesting are taking too much of my time and at the end deteriorating my health. Sorry can't help, I chose to do so !!! ;)

Anyways good night.
