Ok.. Its now about 5.51pm on Sunday here and Its been over a year that I have been thinking of having my own blog and explore my abilities as a writer..no one knows how long the IT industry is going to survive,so its good to have some backup :-). Writing is a lucrative profession these days with writers earning in astronomical figures by writing just one book...Interesting.. I have been reading a lot of blogs and of course my favorite is Jayathi's. You can check her blogs at http://jayskirukkals.blogspot.com. She is a one amazing writer that I know.
Back to the topic. "About Me". Since the time I started my career this questions keeps bothering me.When we go for an interview, the first question that we are asked is "Tell me something about you?".When this question is asked to me I jump up with a big confident smile on my face, no second thoughts and say " I'm very hardworking, works come before anythings else for me ..blah..blah", but Am I? Did I really answer that questions with full honesty, may not be.But I really can't be telling, "Ohh, I'm lazy bone and work is not as important as the following the 20-20 cricket scores".So, what about me that is really "about me"?
I just completed filling the blogger profile information and the "About Me" was there to haunt me again. I can't get enough words to write about me because I haven't known myself enough.So whatever I fill in linkedin profile or orkut, may not really be me.Its may be just something made up to fill the spaces. So I thought writing this blog entry would be my first step to seriously think " About me" and see if there can be a conclusion. hmm, let me see how honest I have been in the "About me" section of orkut.I'm just going to flip to the Orkut Profile page and copy paste what I have written there. Ok, here it is
"A ordinary person with extra ordinary dreamzzzzzzzzzzzz".
I checked the meaning of ordinary (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ordinary) , but none of them really refers to my character. I dont think I m a person who has no qualities or interests. There should be something in me which has brought me to where I m. But what are those? I work, but I m not hardworking.I guess I'm committed to my work. I know how to manage my work and make people happy with my work.I'm not really self motivated kind of person. I want to be felt "important" to be motivated.Let me think what else I know about me. I am very stubborn and very moody. My moods keeps swinging through out the day.I don't do or don't want to do anything where I'm not comfortable of achieving results.I don't like too many challenges and I avoid too many risks(am I being too honest:)).I want my work to be recognized else my mood would go to a all time low.It takes time for me to recover from a fall.I'm extremely emotions. I guess that's all when it comes to work. Most these character reflects in my personal life too. My moodyness and stubbornness come to haunt me in my personal life too. I get angry but I control it.But sometime when I really can't control, I do burst out. Most of those would be out of emotions.I need to improve on those. I love to be alone at times, in my own world. I don't like to be dependent on anyone. There are so many things that I have learned in the last 4-5 years. So many ups and downs in my life and have learned a lot from those.Everyone makes mistake and so did I. If given a chance I would have gone back and corrected those mistake by avoiding those mistakes.
Ok. I think I have spoken enough about me and I think this is really about me.I'm open to change myself and would genuinely accept any change that would be good for me. So "About Me" would change as time changes.
