Finally I am writing it down on my Blog.
It has been One year and four months I left the Jinx that some day I might change my Department to SAP & will get a chance to study one of the greatest Software on this Planet.
Unfortunately it never happened.

This chapter started near end of year 2005 when I was about to join Capgemini. Couple of weeks before joining date one of my firend was telling me about his friend's expirence at Capgemini. His friend was absconding as he was told to look after DB2 Databases. He is a certified Oracle DBA & he did not like the idea of doing something else then Oracle. Ironically same thing happened to me & I lost my track of Oracle + Solaris. But it was fun to have a wierd managers & bureaucratic Environement. It took almost a year to get used to typical Corporate enviroment in Indian companies. And now I am an employee of Cognizant Technology Solutions & a contractor for one of the reputed Bank in this World. When I look back I feel what I did was wrong or I am a VICTIM of my own SUCCESS? When I felt that I have lost my track completely I got depressed because I was too much intense to learn SAP. Probably "desperate" is the word. Well..... I am out of it now & since last one and half year my resume has a different Objective. Sometimes I feel a shine in my own eyes when I see a mail with subject "SAP", I feel like I am still searching for something in that mail for openings, and then those two years flash at back of my head & I laugh at myself .....I was foolish to have such an ambition. Perhaps I am made for System Administration. I am feeling already better as I write this paragraph.
So trust me guys as Marcellus Wallace says in movie Pulp fiction...."you may feel a slight sting. That's Ambition f--king with you. F--k Ambition. Ambition only hurts, it never helps."
Concentrate on what you are good at & you will have time of your life. That does not mean you should stop exploring other opportunities for your career growth, but then get over it before it becomes too late & you end up getting frustrated.
Now I am a "happy man" who has a Happy Manager, impressed colleagues and what else do you want?
