Coming into Software Field

Hi,

I started my career into software field by doing job for 3 years where I learned software development, analysis, marketing, implementation, researching new things. I was doing all the work in my company and hence got a very good knowledge about those subjects.

Then I start getting small freelance projects at home and was doing well in that. My brother Hardik was also into Flash Programming. Hence we thought to stop doing job and planned to start our own company. It was a very tough decision for my family but I got good support from my wife and other family members. The day we started Virtual Splat, we have one thing in mind very clear, We have to perform at any cost and have to grow. Hardik being very technical, he handles the technical problems in the company. I mostly handle marketing and sales. We started from a single pc from my bedroom and now we have a full furnished office with 12 people working.

I feel software development field is very interesting as you need to update yourself daily. You never become old here as its constantly changing.

I will write about technologies, clients, development process in some other post.

Hobbies I have

As I have just started writing blog, I will be talking about myself more until I get some subject to write.

I have three hobbies Reading, Movies and Music.

Among 100 people, 99 will have these hobbies. So what's new in that, just read here...

Reading: When I read this word in any ones biodata I might think how much he likes to read. Does he read 4 hours a day? Yes I read more then that. I like to read anything, anywhere, anytime. You can find me reading newspapers, magazines, books, even leaflets while traveling, ticket que, bus que, breakfast, in bedroom, loo, even while eating. If you find me with out reading then just think that its a dry day for me. I can’t stop reading for a second. I read every advertisement, hoardings, shop names, directories etc. etc. Whatever comes to my eyes I just read it. Everyone in my family and friends are fad up with this hobby, but I cant stop it.

Movies: It’s a passion for me. I like to see good movies and that can be in any language. I see movies on any genre like drama, art, action, violence, sci-fi, comedy, adventure etc.. I feel my self lucky when work for movies and see them on big screen. I mostly prefer movie which have something new in them like violence in John Woo movies are always fantastic, Steven Spielberg's movie are the best always, Roland Emmerich can stop your hear beats and Peter Jackson can make you mad.

Music: Music is as important as oxygen for me. I can't imagine world without music. My fav. Artists are A. R. Rehman, Nusrat Fateh Ali Kham, Bhemsen Joshi, Eagles, Dido, Anup Jalota, Eminem, Indian Ocean, and Yeshu Das.

My Dream: I have a dream to have my own library with all the books printed till date in any language. I wanted to learn every thing in the world from cooking to rocket science. I also wanted to see all the movies that were made till date and wanted to sing all the song which are composed. For me knowledge is every thing. Hence I always try to learn some thing new by reading or watching movies. When I left college I made a rule of learning at least 1 thing daily and that can be any thing.

You will see these subjects often in my blogs as I can’t stop talking about them.
