People are making money or Loosing culture

Today, we, Teknokrats, shared our thoughts about this topic in Sharing Forums. The conclusion was that we are adopting new culture as per the need rather loosing it. But later, this thought came in my mind, which I think can be related with this topic.

I think, most of us have fallen into the race of making money. Everybody wants to earn name and fame very quickly, so, everybody is doing more and more work. But as a result, we are not finding enough time for our relationships. Or you can say, money making has taken higher priority than relationships. So my feeling is that we are loosing our culture to make more money...

I think, we all need to think again that where we are going. Is this what we want?

Growing with Tekriti

Here are some of the achievements / experiences while working with Tekriti since last one year.

1) LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) - I have almost never worked on Linux before. So it was little difficult changeover from windows to linux as I was working on windows from last 8 years. But now I get used to working with linux and feel comfortable developing web applications on it.

2) CMS Training (Drupal) - When I joined Tekriti, I don't know much about Content Management System. But now, I know sufficient to provide training sessions on CMS to new joinees in Tekriti.

3) Strict Coding Standards - I have initiated the process to follow strict coding standards (w3c, code formating) as some of the developers are not following it. Our GoingOn team was first to announce that GoingOn code follows 100% W3C standards.

4) Web 2.0 - In my last company, I was working with the traditional way of web development. But at Tekriti, I come to know about web 2.0 technologies (ajax, rss, social networks, cms etc.). Here we are using web 2.0 technologies in our web applications and also integrating with other third party web 2.0 technologies like Newsgator, Salesforce, Opinity, Eurekster etc. in our web applications.

5) Client Communication - Tekriti has given me an opportunity to interact with clients. I do written communicate with client using e-mails. I think, it's bit difficult to write an e-mail to client than code because you can't do hit and trials there.

6) Working with Genius People - Last but the most important, yes, it's true that I am working with genius people. I think, this is the most important thing in any body's career. If you are not working with right people then you can't grow with the speed you want. You get lots of energy, enthusiasm and passion when you are working with genius people.

I would like to specifically mention here some of the names who are directly responsible for my growth are Ashish, Gaurav and Manish. I also like to thank all the Teknokrats for my growth.

My Biggest Achievement

I think my biggest achievement in my life is my true friendship with my friends. I can say proudly that I have true friends in my life. I know friends are born not made. But we just can't say that achievements are only related to materialistic things. I think whatever we earn or get in this life is our achievement. Not everybody has true friend in his / her life. You may have good friends but it really matters if they are truly yours. There is nothing like having a true friend in your life.

May God give everybody a true friend for whole life...

What do I like most about GoingOn

The best thing I like about GoingOn system is that I can set up my own social networks on the fly. I have the option to configure them the way I want. I think it's one of the best feature of GoingOn. I have the option to invite editors so that they can write good content and administrators so that they can manage my network, if needed. I have created two social networks there Help (to help GoingOn members) and Pics (my hobby to collect nice pictures).

As a design prospective, I like member page of the members most. Because I can see all details of the person there like his profile, connections, networks, blog (GoingOn / External), interests, media gallery, testimonials, comments by him on various posts, tags, blog roll, flickr / del.icio.us feeds and so many other things. Look and feel of the member page is really cool. I just love it.
