What I learned in Software Life... Stay On!

In my earlier post What I learned in Software Life... Be Open! in the same series, I described an importance of openness.
 

Continue, even if you face hurdles

Losing patience, changing course, switching routes, leaving in the middle, neither take you completion, nor give anybody any satisfaction.Continuing forward is the best way to reach destination. Hurdles will be everywhere. It is your ability to face and overcome them, makes success out of it.

Persist against all odds, if you are damn confident of result

Many times such persistence may be mistaken as being adamant or egotistic, but your confidence will give you all the energy to persist. You HAVE to be damn confident of the result. Others will create hurdles, as they may not fully understand your path, they may be stuck up with old concepts, they may have fears of trying new ways. You need to persist on your path. Remember 'Eppur si muove'


If you come across a wall, climb it! 

This is what I learned in trekking and rock climbing. If you are charting an unknown territory, such situations will occur. You need to overcome them.

Pune-Goa-Pune Motorcycle solo ride: A ride that was many things!

  Part 1: We decided to ride "Let's go Goa!" College group of friends and families announced the yearly Goa trip. Some said: We are flying.  Some said: We will take train.  Some said: We will drive. Shree (my friend) and I: (our wives not coming because of prior commitments) let's ride our RE Meteors! That's how we decided to ride. And a plethora of things started. Route search, Road condition R&D, riding schedule, packing list, load distribution, checking on safety gear, rain preparations, pre-ride maintenance and so many. We searched a lot on the web. read a lot of articles, blogs, updates and finalized on Pune-Karad-Anuskura-Rajapur-Goa route. While preparations were in full swing, Shree caught Chikungunya infection and was down with high fever! There was no possibility of him riding! However, I decided to ride solo and complete the trip. With Solo riding decision, few things changed. Non-stop one-way ride changed to a break journey. I d...

A short ride to Kondane caves

This time it was a combined Trek and Ride experience. Motorcycle ride for 3 hrs. from Pune to Kondane caves base, Mini-trek of 45 min. to Kondane caves and ride back home.  My younger son Chinmay was my partner. He likes to ride with me once in a while, and definitely likes to trek :-) Started at 6:45 AM from Pune towards Karjat. As usual, riding thru old Pune Mumbai highway, took a tiny break after Khandala to view Nagphani (a.k.a. Duke's nose) protruding through cloud blanket. This view is no doubt a refresher! It definitely starts the day on fresh note. Reached Khopoli, only to find that 'Ramakant' was not opened yet :-(.  Missed vadapav and rode towards Karjat. Had a breakfast and went towards Kondana caves.  The caves are nicely hidden in the forestation.- a truly quiet place for meditation. Not much rush. very beautiful, serene and secluded. (It felt very safe even if secluded. Caves by themselves are a topic for another write-up! This is rather small cave complex, ...

पुणे-गोवा-पुणे: एक विविधानुभवी फटफटीस्वारी!

भाग १: आम्ही फटफटी चालवण्याचा निर्णय घेतला "चला गोव्याला जाऊया!" कॉलेजमधील मित्र आणि कुटुंबियांनी वार्षिक गोवा सहलीची घोषणा केली. काही म्हणाले: आम्ही विमानाने जाऊ. काही म्हणाले: आम्ही आगगाडीने येऊ. काही म्हणाले: आम्ही मोटारीने येऊ. श्री (माझा मित्र) आणि मी: (आमच्या बायका त्यांच्या आधी ठरलेल्या कामांमुळे येणार नव्हत्या) चला आपल्या रॉयल एनफिल्ड मेटीऑर्स वर जाऊया! अशा तर्‍हेने आम्ही फटफटी चालवण्याचा निर्णय घेतला. आणि अनेक गोष्टी सुरू झाल्या. मार्ग शोध, रस्त्यांच्या स्थितीचे संशोधन, रपेटीचे नियोजन, नेण्याचे सामान, वजन वितरण, सुरक्षा पोशाख (अंगत्राण) तपासणे, पावसाची तयारी, प्रवासपूर्व देखभाल आणि बरेच काही. आम्ही आंतरजालावर बरेच लेख, ब्लॉग, अपडेट्स वाचले आणि   पुणे-कराड-अणुस्कुरा-राजापूर-गोवा मार्ग पक्का केला. तयारी जोरात सुरू असतानाच माशी शिंकली- नव्हे, डास चावला!- श्रीला चिकुनगुनिया झाला आणि त्याला भयंकर ताप आला! त्याला रपेट करणे शक्यच नव्हते! मी मात्र, एकल रपेट करून सहल पूर्ण करण्याचा निर्णय घेतला. एकल रपेटीच्या निर्णयामुळे काही गोष्टी बदलल्या . एका दिशेला थेट जाण्याचा मनसुबा सो...
