Year Of Surgeries!

This year, for my family, I can term it as Year Of Surgeries!! The reason being this year saw 4 surgeries till date in my family including myself. I just hope and wish that there will be no more surgeries for anybody in the future! Starting from February this year where I was operated for Retinal Detachment (RD) surgery (a major one), my father got operated for the prostrate removal (major again) in April, followed by my mother on the table for a benign Lipoma (fat deposit) removal just a fortnight back and the 4 th one and the latest being mine (yes, again!), a 1.5hours left eye surgery to remove the Silicone Oil plus the correction for Cataract using ' Phaco Emulsification ' technique...just yesterday morning!! Fortunately my parents and myself are doing fine post-surgery (I am on a week's leave right now) but I believe this is too much for a family in just 9 months!! But if I think bit deeper, as per my principle, "whatever happens, it happens for good",

Books and More Books...

I am enjoying this book reading to the core...From the previous post where I mentioned about completing "The HP Way" and "The Toyota Way", I started reading couple of books related to Management! I dream and love to be in the management role and wish my dreams come true...:-) I want to be a Leader more than a Manager :-) Related to this and to understand more of Management wrt Software, I am into the PMP Preparation Guide Fifth Edition by Rita Mulcahy . ( PMP = Project Management Professional) This book really gives insight on what goes into a 'real' project management and its processes. I am feeling that rarely we achieve 50% of the actual PM process!! But anyways, for me this book is a good bible to find out the in-and-out of a good project management process and wish I can start adopting them in the near future!
