When it rains...

The scene from 'Social Network' flashes in front of my eyes. The scene from a court hearing against the Mark Zuckerberg character.
The conviction he delivers those lines is superb. The frustration and agony is woven in the texture of his voice. The arrogance that he bulldozes the client's lawyer is applause worthy. A scene reminding of David and Golaith,  where a 19-year old Mark Zukerberg is stacked against the odds to face a wrathing and a ruthless lawyer.

The Scene!

It is raining while I am going back from work in a GO Bus. And when it rains it also pours :)

Desire over Passion

The word 'passion' sounds cliche when you hear it in a job interview or read it on a Resume. I personally dislike that word. It gives mixed signal to your audience. Firstly, I associate word passion with 'hyperness' , 'youthfulness' , 'zest'. Secondly it gives you this 'born for this' conundrum. Lastly, it is an emotional word - emotions are ephemeral.

Being an IT professional, I have been working with Technology for last 8 years. I have studied Computer Science and then later studied Management Analytic. Can I call myself with someone with passion in technology? Absolutely not.

I simply have the 'desire' to be good in technology. Desire to improve professionally, desire to connect with people, desire to implement new functionality for business, desire to streamline process, desire to make a successful project launch. Desirability encompasses a wider spectrum than passion for programming/coding for example. Desirability is more human. It shows the constant need to grow where you will make mistakes (hence learn) along the way.
