The Decade of 2001-2011 for me

I recently completed a decade at my current job at C-DAC.

A lot of things have changed around me, (ofcourse I too have undergone both physical as well as inner changes!). To illustrate it, I could give a sample - though I have not changed my job, the name of the organization has changed! In fact, I joined NCST, which got merged with C-DAC. I would like to look at the changes from three angles - myself, my work area/industry, and my environment.

About me: I was a bachelor at the start of decade, but now I am a family man! with wife and kids, and hence my responsibilities have increased manifold times. I had visited many cities/towns of India, (even traveled outside of India, once) and had developed taste for many Indian Vegetarian Dishes. Ten years ago, if some body would have said to me, that I would get to taste so many Indian Dishes, I would have had a bet with them! (though even now, I am not a great foodie!). I had a great opportunity to learn, discover, and stretch my limits, which I feel, I did reasonably well.

About my Workarea/Industry: I work as a researcher in the domain of Information Technology! Really it's been this work and the people around me that had have kept me here for so long! I was able to discover, think, create, and learn a lot, which I am sure would not have been possible, without this job!

About my Environment: I live in Bangalore, India. The city has changed a lot from a pensioners paradise to a bustling city. I got to know and experience, the pain of a growing or developing city and I wish, it becomes a 'developed city' comparable with any of the world's top cities by 2021.
