My Story In 700 Words

Born blessed in India with a silver spoon to an orthodox family in the year 1983. Taken to a foreign land UAE (United Arab Emirates) to continue being raised which i consider now as my home the same place parents made their livelihood. Went to English speaking school and learned to speak , read and write. Raised in a conservative life with minimal interaction to the outside world except through schooling and television. Enjoyed studying Science and scored the top at high school exams for physics. Loved intensively playing football at school and damaged a lot of my school uniforms on the playground. Came to India back to pursue my bachelors and learned to be independent except financially. Had the best time of life doing college, meeting new friends and had fun studying and bunking classes. Became the hero among everyone around, got depressed and took my first smoke the moment I failed on one of my exams and from then on failing became so habituated, got involved in many brawls to stop our juniors being ragged. Gracefully completed college in the year 2007 and in the mean time had taken up a job as a tech support officer at an multinational outsourcing company and from there kick started my work and career. The only thing that job needed was to communicate with clients in English and to solve technical issues and the rest of it was trained. Received appreciation for achieving the maximum customer satisfaction and got a bonus added to my profile. Had a serious girlfriend who was very matured, loving and sharing but I wasn’t lucky then to commit myself as I was still not serious into relationships.

Moved back to UAE in search of better job opportunities. Got my first job related to my profession of interest and stayed in that job for a short while until the world economic crises was hit in the year 2009 and then was fired. Found my next work as I gained experience and then decided to take up my driving license. Spend a fortune getting my license on the road and drew reckless after owning my first car and shelling a lot on traffic fines and speeding tickets. God saved my life except for the money. Finding new work and deciding to have a family was happening at the same time as taking up responsibility struck me hard. Parents believed in arranged marriage and found my partner through online matrimonial as it worked for me to find the right partner. Worked day in and day out to make that choice for the rest of my life. A new job and my new partner came in together. Got hooked in the year 2012 and then started the third phase of my life’s story.

Blessed with two children(1 Boy 1 Girl) within 3 years of roller coaster marriage having switched multiple jobs, faced many challenges at work and at personal life but with the grace and help of a supportive partner and family, managed to survive through all those crises. Progressed ahead in career and learned a lot at work, taking multiple projects at work and faced clients that would add credibility on my future prospects. I did lose jobs couple of times and always found the next one at the same time, it was said, to win big you need to fail at times. In the era for technology when everyone had a website presence always wished to have one for myself and have contents online but took it for granted until the moment of Covid-19. Online presence was so important these days belonging to this era, without which i would have been an alien. Thanks to WordPress for making this platform to express and present oneself.

Here i am completing to write this short story and learning to be more peaceful and surviving in the current pandemic times with readiness for the challenges ahead. Thank you for your time in reading this interesting journey and if you found it good a Like in kind below will help me to continue blogging.

Happy for the best days of life today and yet to come.

Proved: Time Never Equals Money

The world is in a rat race making money as times passes or saving wealth to secure their life for tomorrow. Some make gains or loses in this race. If time was equal to money then it would have been possible to recreate another day like yesterday to save those loses, but that is not the case with time wherein money could be duplicated or printed to fill those losses. What was actually lost yesterday was not the money but it was actually your time and your life.

If time and life are not replaceable then time is always equal to life.

Praveen David Jacob Hope

Hope Is The Greatest Gift

These are the trying times for many of us as we may go through different kinds of pain, loss of wealth, loss of job or depression for that matter. Just remember these are times of test and do not loose Hope is the moral of your story also remember you are that precious metal being hammered to test it’s rigidness and never to loose Hope or Faith is the only way to pass it’s test.Keep in mind not all the metals in this world can be tested, it’s only those one’s that are meant to be of real purpose therefore you are a real worth if your being tested.

It is also during these times we should pause for a while to stop and think how well you could be doing the next time once you were able to pass this test and bounce back.We should know that life is only a test and we are here in this world to pass the different test’s we shall come across. It is not about the amount of wealth or the position that we earned would rate us at the end, it is simply how much we learned to live and how well we scored during these times of test. Never to loose hope or never to break down no matter the situations should be one thing that should keep us going.So let us take this opportunity to learn to live and to love in this short life and do not loose faith no matter whatever it takes.

Stay strong and remember we all in this together.

Praveen David Jacob privacy

Privacy

Privacy exist only when you have information within closed boundaries or inside your network perimeter.Data does not become private as far it can be accessed on the World Wide Web (www) It all depends how you wish to secure information and to whom this information can be accessible and shared. The internet is a world class market place to get access to everyone’s details or information and it is the worlds market place to sell or buy. The potential of keeping things safe on the internet cannot be guaranteed unless you own the market place itself and decide who should have access to those information and how you manage to secure those information.

Technically speaking all data which exist on a LAN (Local Area Network) are the only one’s which is private and privacy makes sense, whichever network has expanded to WAN (Wide Area Network) is no more private rather a public network . The Internet is a place of information and not a place of data confidentiality. As long information exist on the internet, data is considered to be public with restricted public access. Data or information which is present on-premise surrounding is never pubic unless these information is kept outside the on-premise which is otherwise known as public network or Cloud. When i mean on-premise i mean a place within your vicinity or inside your company or inside your house.Data on cloud is outside the perimeter of data privacy and it is totally up-to the cloud host to keep information secure and it can be also called like a private cloud.The internet is a public cloud where information is not private.

Bug’s Off

Software systems and technologies are build to help make our life at office or at home work smoothly and enhance the quality of living with better productivity. This is something that a techie or a systems developer need to keep in mind while working with software systems that is built with many lines of code.

Lines of code can either make a system serve it’s key purpose or turn the other way round by making life a hell. This is totally up to the makers of systems to decide whether to write lines of code with lack of code awareness or testing and leave it up-to it’s end users to pay a buck to remove the Bug that exist in a weak code and test it later.Software companies gains their worth only later to the product development after launching their products or services to the end user’s and getting paid to remove Bugs. Therefore it is very crucial to apply for support license or annual maintenance contract to fix bugs that came along.

System performance and user experience is completely dependent on the number of bugs that has been resolved or whether the experience was Bug free.Making software systems that are Bug free has long shelf life and this is what every software systems need to comply.

See You Next Time

A moment of change and a moment of truth to see things differently. This is not the world’s end while the moon traverse between us and the Sun, rather it’s a change that happens as it revolves around the Earth and sure to come again in between may be in the next 25 years as predicted. Solar eclipses are events that has been happening in the past and been given a name Ring Of Fire although the name sounds scary but that does not harm anybody unless you do not take any precautions by watching the eclipse. This is nature’s beauty and a celestial game.

Praveen David Jacob roots

My Roots Don’t Change

As we grow we learn new things also through our learning we make new gains and adapt to the new changes that comes across. The one thing that will never change no matter how much knowledge we gained in years or regardless of the wealth, is our roots from where we came from. Everything that grows within us is based on the foundation of our ancestral roots. A strong foundation can hold as many branches as possible and grow as many leaves as possible. That is one thing which will never change no matter our circumstances in life today. Who we are and where we are from are the things that holds us firm and that is why we should not forget our past while we make gains in the future. The future is based on our past and regardless of the amount of wealth we may have today, it cannot change our past, it can only make changes to the present moment.You may imitate others in the way they live but you cannot imitate their past or their roots.

Always remember where you came from and your past is the beginning of your heart beat and the thumb of your soul. Do not change it’s rhythm no matter how far you go or how tall you grow.

B+ Positive

Life is made of days to make you lose at many occasions and create few win’s at the right time’s as well. There are times you may have to let go of things that bother you, so that this gives you the right space and opportunity to re-think or evaluate your self for better tomorrow. The only thing that should be ticking within yourself to strive through those difficult times is the attitude to Be Positive and never to lose hope that situations cannot be the same always and there is a day that you shall make tables turn. The real happiness in life are those moments you remember taking off the dust from your clothes to make that start or bounce back from where you left. So to create that moment of happiness to bounce back, Be Positive and do not lose faith in what you believe is right. Although crises has pulled us back from all our daily gains and craves or dragged us near the grave but let us wait in patience to B+.

Praveen David Jacob Data

Data Is : Truth , Confidential , Available

In Data lies the truth and authenticity and that is the fundamental need to posses or own Data. Once Data is manipulated then it becomes information junk at your disposal. When you own real Data then comes the need to protect it from who sees it or can have the right to access it’s information. Therefore confidentiality of Data is as important as its authenticity. It takes many hard efforts to protect them so to maintain it’s authenticity. Making Data available whenever you need them is the flow of knowledge and information. Information should be available at your finger tips and should be made available through mediums of trusted sources. Protect your Data the way you protect your Identity and it’s as important as that.In Data Lies Power.
