Sorry for the delayed post, I’ve been away — a combination of extra work and well laziness. Today is superbowl Sunday but more important it’s the third day of the India South Africa cricket series, [match summary: India have their backs to the wall and need to a decent performance to avoid defeat, highly recommend you try to watch it if you get a chance] which brings me to a recent article I read on (my home page and) the greatest site ever — cricinfo.
It’s about a young fast bowler — Abhimanyu Mithun who’s close to being selected for the Indian first XI. This is the piece of advice that really caught my eye — ‘whatever you are it is because of cricket, cricket is the ultimate, focus on the game, all other things will come, but start focusing on other things and everything is over’
Forget cricket, this advice is *extremely* applicable to our [Indian engineer with MS in US] lives as well. Every year you see hundreds of guys get their MS degrees and think they’ve cracked life, given dollar rupee rates, and the fact that India is likely to grow faster than the US for the a while it may be wise to keep updating that resume and doing that extra project, unless Irfan Pathan / Munaf Patel / or S. Sreesanth seem like good career models to follow.
