Dream gives you the strength to chase your passion.


Hi, have you ever thought how would be your life without a dream. Or do we fear to dream in fear to loose.

Getting education, going to school, was a childhood dream that I still remember. I have never been to any nursery or pre nursery school like other kids. I got directly admitted in grade VIth after clearing an examination but I never felt like missing my primary education. My parents were never concerned about my studies nor they expected me to do any better than my elder brother who was just able to pass the exams without failing in any.

But it was like a miracle to my parents when they got to know that I stood first in my pre-board examination. They were surprised and shocked seeing my marks in the parents teachers meet. And then they started dreaming about my career, they wanted me to be an engineer. But on the other hand I wanted to become a doctor which could not happen due to some financial problems. And then I chose to become an engineer. I completed my degree in engineering from a well known engineering college in Odisha.

I had another dream which was finding its way to turn into reality. I didn't sit for any campus, didn't attend any interview. It was all because of the dream to be my own master; to be an entrepreneur. This was the one that kept me motivated, self-sufficient and strong. The constraint was I had to earn to support my family whereas on  the other hand entrepreneurship needs investment and a lot of risk.

After passing out from the college, I opened my own institute which helped the engineering students in their final year projects. There was not much ROI, so it didn't last long. Next I decided to do some freelancing. After few months, I realised it is also not enough to support my family. I had to drop this idea too. Then I decided to get into a job and fortunately got a chance in 5 elements. I got an opportunity here to find my strengths and explore.

It proved to be a life changing decision. Things were about to change and life was about to take a new shape; new in a way that had never happened before but still old being restored in my dream since long time back.

And the story continues ....

Dream gives you the strength to chase your passion.

The next one is the story of a CTO, which will be there in my next post.

Why do engineers quit in tech startup?

There are many reasons for engineers to quit job in a tech startup. Before going to that point, I would like to share my experience in the tech startup both as an employee and an employer. It was a beautiful experience of being a software engineer in the software company. I have learned a lot in that period of time and never felt like quitting my job even though its a very short period. Let's flip to the other side of my life as a tech employer, It is very difficult to explain my journey in an article because its only emotions and feelings which can’t be written down in an article. Faced a lot of challenges and also got lots of opportunities to explore my field of interest and passion. But due to lack of corporate experience, I was feeling nervous. And that was the strongest point to keep me for a longer period in the organization. I always used to take operative decisions for our team because I didn’t know the managerial skills and politics which is played in corporate.

Behind the ’95% Engineers in India Unfit for Software Development Jobs’

According to a study by employability assessment company Aspiring Minds, only 4.77 per cent candidates can write the correct logic for a programme — a minimum requirement for any programming job. Being an entrepreneur, its too difficult to find a developer who can design a software that fulfil our requirement. I am a hard core developer too, so i can judge the coding ability of a developer to code without taking the help of Google. I have taken lots of interviews during our recruitment of developer and I am very disappointed when they are not able to answer on basic questions. After some research works, I found out some reasons behind why they are not able to write a single line of code. Its my own experience that I have mentioned below. Education System in India I am an computer science graduate so I know what is the problem in our education system. There is no proper practical classes for the computer languages like C, C++ etc. In engineering colleges, focus is given more on ho

The best thing about Chatbots is, that they help Hoteliers increase their revenue.

Being a Techie, I have always noticed how people are using technology in their daily lives. Today we have artificial intelligence supplements like Siri on iPhone and Google assistant on our android devices for assisting us in almost every kind of search. We live in an era where the common man might have more conversations with chatbots rather than browsing on the website. This is how I found out that chatbots can also help us book a room and give a satisfactory room service during their stay. Before getting into, how  chatbot  helps us book a room and room service? First let’s clear out, what exactly is a chatbot? It is an AI based program that interacts with the user in a simple conversational mode encouraging communication while providing information. It can easily decode human conversation and interpret customer requests by appropriately choosing data which is being searched for, and then present the best results to the customer. Booking a Room As I love to travel, I start
