All right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today Jan 20th, I let the guys in my group know that I am planning to leave Juniper. Now that this is official, I can start this blog, which is to be about the next phase in my life.
For a while now I have been fantasizing about stepping off the beaten path and doing something that is not governed by the usual parameters. These for me have been: keeping up with peers in terms of money made and position achieved, having financial security. Not that there has not been genuine work done and satisfaction for what was achieved. However the pull to do the same work but in the context of service has been strong. So now I step off (as many many have done before me) and the excitement is big.
There has been a lot of thinking that has gone into this decision (more than required, since I brood too much instead of acting). Recapitulating all that would be boring, so hopefully the context will seep into the blogging over the course of time.
One question is: how often do I commit to keep this blog updated ? On a chronologically regular basis or event-driven ? What kind of stuff will go in here ? How honest do I commit to being. This is important to settle so that I have a goal to keep myself honest, else very possibly blogging will peter out. Some reflection on the purpose of the blog and what I am trying to achieve with it needs to happen before settling on something. The next entry in the blog should settle these questions then (or atleast make the first working pass). Actually using blogspot is an experiment, since the previous blog was on despoki.net. One disadvantage of using blogspot is diffusing my online presence, which would otherwise be at one location. Again need to decide on this.
Okay enough for now and happy blogging !
