1st Mistake by choice??

I am generally the kind of a person who takes whatever comes in his way rather than planning things or grabbing the chance with his both hands firmly.

I am trying out something new; To change my career line. Will I be successful in it? Will I find solitude in it? Or will it be my 1st mistake by choice of my life? 

Before that, let me jolt down the mistakes by chance of my life:

Mistake by chance# 1: Getting into job right after graduation
All my best buddies with whom I used to hangout whenever I was down went to pursue M.S in US. Probably I would have also followed the bee line given that I was not placed. I could have had my friends with me and could have avoided some things down here.

I don’t have big complaints or regrets for this because I have thoroughly enjoyed the training at Mysore, the 2 projects I was into, my stay at Mangalore and some lessons for life. I had my Kodak moments all through them..! I could not have missed them for sure. But still my inner voice says that I should have done what my friends did for a better life.

Mistake by chance# 2: Getting trained in Open Systems
Gosh..!! I get goose bumps and nightmares when ever I think of my stream training, especially the final practical exam and the day after it..!! My training friend Ravi inspired me with a timely quote. I told him ‘I am expecting a tsunami in tomorrow’s objective paper because there is dead calmness inside me.. not sure that I will survive the flood’. He replied ‘Tsunami is yesterday’s practical exam.. whatever calmness you are having is the peace after the tsunami’.

I understand that we don’t have choice of training but I regret the fact that I was trained in Open System which has very less exposure to tools or enterprise editions.  Everything we did was to save in notepad with relevant extensions and run them on server depriving me off any hands on experience with tools.

Mistake by chance# 3: Settling to be in testing but not shifting to Development side
The day we got our posting locations and the production units, I saw that I was into testing. I should have right away asked for a unit shift and should have got into Development side instead of wasting my 2 years of work in testing. The fact is I came to know that testing is monotonous after being in there for 2 years. I do regret this so much every day 

Mistake by chance# 4: Accepting a transfer from Gachibowli campus to Uppal Campus
What can I say about this..??  Nothing can be done now but a simple lie could have made my life different there at Gachibowli campus. Now I am travelling 80 Kms daily to my office and spending 3 hours only for travel.  

There is a quote ‘Everything happens for a reason’. Can't really think what would have happened had I stayed back at Gachibowli campus.

Mistake by choice# 1: Platform shift

Coming soon...!!!?????
