It has been slightly more than a year since the new phase of my life began. I could see a difference in myself - what I was a year back and what I am now. A simple but funny example would be, during my college days I wouldn't even get the output(desired result) for a single lab exam. What I used do is just sit for 2 hours, browse the net, answer few viva questions without any preparation, knowing that my college staffs will take care of my result. It not only showed my laziness and poor attitude but also the unwillingness to code because I hate coding! Please dont ask then why I joined computer science. Thats for some other day..:)

Today out of nowhere while going to office in the train, I received a call from my module leader asking me to rush to office for an urgent client meeting. I was like thinking, why the hell am I needed for a client meeting. It was supposed to be had with top level client management and from our side the project leader, gm, business analysts and the respective module leaders!

I rushed to office, not even waiting for the lift, climbing up 6 floors only to know that the meeting has been postponed to post lunch! But there was no twist as the time eventually came when we gathered in a very big conference room. I felt odd in that room firstly because I couldn't still imagine myself to be part of it. Secondly no one else were of my level in that room as this time last year I was just a trainee. :D

I came to terms that I am also part of it and started to focus and gain as much as possible. The experience was something out of the world because it was not one of those typical day to day meeting which we have in office internally. I silently observed all the heavy discussion between my side business analysts and the client, posing and having a sitting posture as though even I am a biggie :D, not knowing that the eventual bomb is going to be lashed on me!

When everything concluded, I thought it was just another day, and went for lunch. As soon as I came back, the shocker was revealed - That I need to lead my team for 3development works out of which 2 are going to be developed parallely and for that I will have to lead my team as my current module leader is leaving!

All I had wanted in this project is to run through my contract period, get a transfer and leave but the person above seems to have other ideas but definately I can sense that I am about to practically stand on fire for atleast the next few months.

Now for a person who scraped through all the college lab exams, isn't this a bit too much? :)
