The World As I See It

It has been almost a year since I last shared my thoughts. A lot has happened in this year, and I would not change anything! I had reached my lowest point in the latter half of last year and I was second guessing my decision of coming to a new world, but as luck had it and like Les Brown said, I fell on my back and could only see the way up. That is when I decided to devote my time to constructive things like blogging, reading about the latest technology news by following Mashable , TechCrunch , CNET and local newspapers here. That is where I got my different ideas for my blogs (I know they are not that good but I'm not a professional writer). "When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up." - Les Brown When I did not have luck landing a proper career job i.e. Business Analyst job, many people told me to do a master's degree to utilize my time in the best way and that it wou...

One question I would have appreciated anyone asking me 6 years ago while I was planning out my future, was "Why don't you become a Business Analyst?"   This would have saved me a lot of time trying out different things that didn't interest me as much. [I don't own this image ] So, what does a business analyst really do? That is a very good question (if you asked this). Well for starters, in my opinion, a business analyst is like a bridge between the businesspeople and the technical people... like an interpreter in lay man terms.

There are different fields that you can choose to be a business analyst in like: Process modelling or Busi...

Imagine you are walking down the street you have thousand times already only to realize that you have never been here before... freaky isn't it! Well, you can say the same thing about how I became a Business Analyst. Since I was little, I wanted to become a famous game designer who had games like Tomb Raider, Thief, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, Call of Duty, Halo, Modern Warfare and Max Payne... this is not possible in reality but you can't blame someone for dreaming big! So how did I end up being a Business Analyst instead of living my dream... well for starters I did my bachelor's in software engineering (4 years degree) only to find out that to do masters in gaming designing, I needed a 4 years degree in gaming designing. Now who in their right frame of mind would want to study 4 more years to get another bachelor's degree, I surely wasn't going to. Anyways, since that didn't work out. My second dream was to become a world famous hacker (much...
