The Blog

Due to my lifestyle choice, my relatives and friends and sometimes also my family think I might be sad. I have spent the last 7 years of my life isolating myself from many. I am single and now I hardly go out of the house. The only people other than my family that I communicate with are either my clients or colleagues.

I have no plans of getting married any soon or for that matter ever. My social life is no existent and now it has been months or even years since I have seen my best friends. This is what people notice and this is why mostly everyone assumes that I might be sad. But its totally opposite.

The last few years even though they have being difficult, have been the happiest years of my life. I do love being social and I do love going out, but being with myself is what gives me complete peace. I have spent every single day of these last 6 years working. My average week consists of 80+ hours of work, 20+ hours of reading and the remaining watching movies when am not sleeping. They have been highs and lows but I have enjoyed every single minute of it. In these 6 years, I had the most control on my life and I have been able to do exactly what I want to do.

I am slow in terms of my own progress, and sometimes it does make me crazy, but then most other time I do not mind it. I am not in for a race. I love what I do, and I like the way I do it. I do wish I was a little faster but then again since we just have one life, I prefer to feel every moment and remember it.

My life is about to change for good and I might have to let go of my good old days of working in isolation. But change is good and I hope I finally am able to change gears of my life.

Last 4 months have been messy. In fact last 1.8 years has been messy. Like a domino effect one thing after the other has been going out of my control. I never blame anyone for anything bad that happens to me, however this time I would have few people to blame. One of the most important lessons I have learnt is to be choosy about whom I work with and to treat our own project ideas with same importance as we treat paying projects from clients.

Time is limited, and the way clients choose a company, its time for me to start choosing clients too. One thing that has always helped me, is my existing customer base. no matter what issues my business has faced, majority of my clients have always been supportive and loyal. And I am as always grateful to them for their patronage.

Recently I have worked with some worst clients too. But as usual its always best to end working for them as soon as you find yourself not comfortable. Its one thing to go out of your comfort zone to learn something new but another thing entirely to be getting used.

I am a positive person. I do regret some decisions I have made and how I have handle certain things in last 1 year, however I have learnt a lot too and geared up to focusing on my own projects.

From now till the end of this year, I would be undertaking just 1 small project a year and would be spending majority of my time on rebuilding my websites Webtions.com, DreamsOnline.net & www.designerskiosk.com and mainly will be finding the right people to build a new team. Majority of the work I would be doing would be focused on WordPress. I would also be writing articles for Envato at http://wp.tutsplus.com/author/harish about the things I learn while working on my own projects.
