Yes I am writing after a long time..And its almost a year now. Lots of things have happened in between…
Fall , Winter , Summer and Fall again..!! Just Kidding. Life is really a circle like earth…!! Seriously.
I was wondering why I stopped writing? Was I too busy ? Was it because there are lots blogs on the internet ? Or I was simply lazy ? Or something else ?
And I have concluded that sometimes circumstances occur in such a way that we have to change direction a little bit. And its not little bit its huge. Little bit is a nice excuse but one knows reality very well. Convinced… ?
Anyways long story short, One this very special evening (why ? …Ohh its another Birthday next day !!! couple minutes to gooo…) I have convinced myself that I will be back that too on bigger-larger scale.
I have started a website
www.oraclebidwh.com where I am planning to put the technical stuff ( I have already put some posts in there) And at this sub domain Live Happy Life I will continue to write about my personal experiences.
And the next major is Dec 26……………………. Before you guess anything else let me tell you..I am getting married on that date.
So keep coming here…I have a lot to write in coming days which is kinda moving around my head now!
To eak sher ho jaye end may
Kabhi Kabhi Zindagi may aaisa makam bhi aata hai
Jab waqt nathi halat badal jate hai
Hum bhi wahi , tum bhi wahi aur ye duinya bhi wahi
Farak Sirf itana hai ke khayalat badal jate hai !!!
its just sher baki khayalat aur situation badal jati hai !! he he he
Happy Living,
Devang Shah

Dream – what most of the people think it as a wonderful show people see during deep sleep. It’s not really that. I am looking at dream as a special goal which requires a little bit more push to achieve or may look impossible or more difficult to others. Dream is alive as long as long you see it possible.
To achieve any dream once has to act, act and act. Once has to live the dream. Even If it does not come true, you will at least feel satisfied with yourself by at least attempting it and putting great effort. Take it as a great learning. And move forward in your life. Never blame to someone else for your failure. And never live life with regret of not attempting it.
Well sometimes you might blame other for your failure. In most of the cases those dreams are associated with feeling as far as I know.
And I am contradicting my own statement by saying almost all dreams are product of human feeling J . And it may be influence by brain sometimes.
Like living a life in foreign land and one is nostalgic about his homeland. Money matters have won the battle against the feelings till. Reason Dream or Goal is not clearly defined on this point of view.

MBA DREAM
Dreaming a masters degree – well efforts are on it way and I am currently living this dream. Hope past experience will help.
Does luck play a role? Possibly yes. But I look “bad luck” as well-known excuse people give post failure.
Remember each day in life a new leaning lesson.
Keep Dreaming…….. Keep learning…….Keep Living!!
Thanks,
Devang Shah

What is the key to success? Does it really exist? Is there any short cut to it? Not really. But there are certain ways by which you can reach there easily. It might take sometime, as there is not shortcut here. This is what I can say from experiences.
Now let me come to the point before it takes shape like a marketing speech. As I do have any product to sell you!!
Success comes only when you have clear vision and plans. Unless you know where you want to go, you will not be able to go there (there is not defined here).And why you want to go is equally important. Passion for reaching target and daily visioning the same is key. Well, you can even say it like Day Dreaming.
Now let me point out my real life experience here. I was pretty much well build or in shape till my school days. College days were ok kind of. And once I joined the job and started onsite(s) then slowly-slowly I have started putting on weight. Star hotel’s free breakfast played a worst part here during onsite. A request to all IT professional – be careful from free breakfast.
It was not the case that I was not aware of my weight. I knew that my weight will be more .I never liked to stand on the scale. You can say that I was really afraid of the NUMBER. But just by ignorance one can not escape from the reality.
And then on one fine day at Hyderabad I decided from my heart that I want to reduce my weight badly. I had told to my friends couple of times the same things and each time I had give up after a week or may be two. (The reason might be that decision was taken under the influence of someone’s talk to me.) When I said them this time. Couple of my friends told “Tere se nahi honga” ..:Ye tere bas ki baat nahi hai…”
And honestly I took that as a challenge. I like people who challenge me.
And after almost 4-5 months workout and diet. I lost 42 pounds; I was very lazy for waking up early ; even I got surprised, I had able to manage to wake up by 5:30 AM without alarm J.(perhaps my soul was supporting me)
I came back again to the shape of my school days. It really feels good-great. I do not have words to explain. During those 5 months I was daily measuring my weight. Believe me I had a calendar where I was putting my daily weight. I had continuous eye on my weight , food and exercises. Three keys to achieve my goal. Passion makes you to do this and this is success factor.
Well VLCC, La Fitness etc will show you starts ,, moon and nice sky. But ultimately you are the one who has to put the effort. You must motivate yourself. Self motivation!!!.
Again reaching the target you can not become lazy. Reaching on TOP is important but staying there is more important. You should be able to see another top from top. So being in IT a humble suggestion: For wealth please do not put your health at Risk.
Eat well..Code well …and exercises well
Thanks,
