Who moved my cheese ?

January27

Just when I thought I could pay the god damn tuition fees they increased it. Now that is not the best thing to happen but its ok , i ll take it in a positive way and work harder to make more.

I have been working hard but i have been having issues focusing . I have lot of work that needs to be completed in a very short span of time. I’ll have to be working atleast 20 hours a day in the next few days to cover this ground.

I usually am not able to work during college days. I need to get my self in routine which I am seriously failing in. Thanks to msn and fb . But at the end of the day , the people i spend my time talking to help me out when I am in shit.

Talking of shit , I have lately been in a lot of debt. Due to wiring the amount last month. I have been borrowing money from every one I possibly know and I am still in need for more. The debt is around 200$ at the moment. I’ll be able to pay it but not until next 2 weeks. Which is slightly a down side.

That brings me to talk about debt. Debt enables you to do stuff with the money which your future money. The problem is lot of people misuse debt and get into lot of shit. If debt used wisely can enable you to propel your growth exponentially. Around 150 $ have gone into buying sites which according to my analysis should pay off.

Well that was lot of rambling for today .

Stay classy .

PS: Hafiz you are a dick.

Dubai – City of gold ?

January20

First thing first , gold is too expensive and no one can afford. My goldsmith friends have all been complaining , there is no sales due to real high price. Its not just the gold price that has changed in the recent past. The very foundations of dubai have been shaken.

Since the melt down in 2008 , people are leaving and going. The population is decreasing. Landlords were doubling the rent once upon a time and now they are bringing it down just in hope some one takes their apartment. All the buildings have the ‘To Let’ sign. ( What goes around , comes around , Bitches ! )

I really don’t blame the people that have left. The salaries are the same , cost of living is high and the best part they are getting almost the same amount back in India where the cost of living is a little less too. Why wouldn’t they swap ?

People who have stayed back are actually people who have been here for more than 10-20 years. They are not happy here either. Things can’t really go far when your expatriate or working population is not happy with the developments .

Staying Focused : Part 2

December10

Like i said in the earlier posts , I was having serious troubles staying focused and finishing off all the tasks I am supposed to. After thinking a lot about it , I jumped to a conclusion is I need a very detailed ‘To do’ List and may be also a ‘Not to do ‘ list when I am doing tasks from the ‘to do’ list .

I study in a engineering college and have a decent work load. To be honest, its not that much but its still there. The way the semester is planned out , exams just keep coming. Once they start , they don’t stop till the end of the semester. My classes are well spaced out and i usually do get a lot of free time between classes but unfortunately, i have never been able to put it to any use. I also get a decent amount of time in the evening which usually is spent loitering around. Its kinda hard to focus after coming back from college. But, If i wanna reach somewhere now things have to change and they have to change quick.

About my to-do list , All the tasks are divided to suitable sub tasks and similar tasks are grouped together. This enables me to not only complete the task but also not to miss out on the details which I always do. I have also listed down TV and MSN Messenger as my biggest distraction. So i need to make sure , when I am working these things need to be off.

I’ll keep ya folks updated.

Staying Focussed !

November19

One of the thing i have been truly struggling is with getting my focus right. I tend to get distracted easily and have very short attention span for some apparent reason. This leads to some serious loss in productivity. .

I have midterms starting from next week and I just realized I have tons to finish off. The best and the most horrifying part is I am not panicking. When I panic i tend to finish off the stuffs i am out to do. But hopefully , I ll do good.

Second , I tend to get a lot of free time which i tend to not make use of. I could do a lot of my website stuff in the free time i get in college and every evening after coming back. Just if i could get my ass to work rather than logging into msn and catching up with old buddies. I could have been rich 🙁

Lets just say , life is beautiful and some day i’ll make it happen.

The Social Network – A perspective

October29

Its 3 AM and i just got done with the movie ‘ the social network ‘ which all of us know is about facebook. The guy knew exactly what he wanted rite from the start and used all his associates to reach there. He was focused and hard working and at the end he got exactly what he wanted , all at a cost of something. ( like i discussed in the last post… )

There was a very good example in the movie , you can catch a lot of small fish or you can catch one big fish. This got me thinking. Like you people Know I deal with sites my self. I think , I will go with catching a lot of small fishes. That will keep me off the lime light. I’ll still have plenty to eat and I still have fishes left if some one steals something. Just minimizing risk.

I’ll be short listing sites tomorrow and see where i want them to be. I’ve gotta make this big and all my efforts count for something. It might mean excess leveraging and excess out sourcing.  I’ve gotta be somewhere far from here in the coming year.

To be honest , i need some people i can work with . Some one who loves this stuff as much as i do and sees prospects as much as i do.  But , For now i am stuck here.
