Two Deaths and a Great Job for me!

Yeah, If i were to summerise the last one month in one sentence, it would that. "Two deaths and a great job"! Our family friend who my mom considered as brother passed away. He was a diabetic for a long time and fell down in his home. He suffered internal bleeding in his head and this eventually lead to this death. His kidneys has gone kaput and was surviving on dialysis.

I hated that guy cos he was extremely selfish kind of person but when the news came about his death, I really bad, more than when my grand mother passed away. He was partially responsible for the death of his elder sister and her husband. He was sort of person who when you ask for some help , did everything with his mouth. Only lip service! The other demise in our family was the son of my mama .Again he was a adopted mama, quite different from the other mama who passed away. My mom says that he did everything in his control to help us whenever the need arise.

May their soul rest in peace!

Ok, now comming to the job part.....I joined a reputed company, so reputed is it that, some of my friends have become envious of me. I never thought that something like this could happen to me...All thanks to my friend due to him I got into this new job. My compensation almost doubled, responsiblities halved, confidence quatrupled, the whole outlook towards life in general has changed. This job probably makes or breakes my career in software industry. The greatest challenge now is to make sure that I keep enjoying the work and not get bored too quickly. I guess this was my problem with my earlier job. I start off everything with a bang and then very soon the initial euphoria dies down and I tend to go through the motions. I need to find ways to keep enjoying the work. Any tips guys??

After I joined the new company, I was wondering about what to write in the blog-some sort of memoirs kind of thing about my previous job or initial reflections about new job. I decided to look at the future and and here it is........!

Your comments are highly appreciated!!
