Might as well start earning, The Awesome Freelancer

Yup, the water's rising!

And that's not to say that I'm panicking or something but, honestly, I take this as a great opportunity to narrow down and thus focus on a limited number of things and master them well.

As you know, my friend, my college life basically involved A LOT of exploration in many fields and it's not only about programming, physics or mathematics which I so passionately explored but also languages, human languages and all my thoughts on this other self can be read at The Talking Apes blog. 

Recently, I've graduated - my Facebook and Instagram updates are overflowing with this pseudo-reset button my friends have punched in, starting lives in different places and discovering new environments. I've always known that I'd have to find my own way, reminds me of this phrase I caught up in Japanese and here's the English translation

" Once more only by my pace  I shall become myself, unlike anyone else "

So that's that about peer pressure ;p+

About my current plans, I find myself becoming a Project Architect of a few projects ( yes, that's 
the Getting Things Done  kicking in). From a collaboration with friends for WebArtist skills, penning down
my first "forked" book in Julia language, to another artistic venture which involves producing manga-like
sketches for a few hundred still images, atleast my figure sketching skills would be awesome by the end 
of this project.

I'm hoping to become a published author by the end of this year and, I swear, I shall never look back. Self-
publishing ( you know me! ) the way forward. The major push in my efforts is towards mastering the 
Python and JS?CSS?HTML stack ranging from System Administration to Web Frameworks like Django to produce a portfolio and 
to experiment within the context of that portfolio. 

I've, as always, set my goals high for the next six months and, once again I find myself integrating many of
my goals together into a coherent whole, I have yet another project in mind which turns around about the
language-alley. That's one context that can make me sit in front of the computer for hours!

Sagematics

Hi fellow Sagematicians!

Yes, yes this break of mine has been more like you-said-vacation-but-settled-elsewhere kind of thing but honestly, it's hard to imagine a more dull learning experience for myself, dull and
useful that is.

I hit rough seas as far as my university was concerned and the StartUp thing was not going so well, not a place of joy at the time. I literally lived my College life during the last 3-4 months and had some time to really reflect on where I'm headed.

I haven't ever questioned the fact that I really do belong in the Academic research but I've certainly become even more wary of the the Academic Institution. What would happen if they actually start caring about the students in the colleges, maybe all hell would break loose;p

Anyway, I'm fast moving towards a Freelancer career and the aim is to become technologically competent in every possible way be it from Game programming or the Complex System design and
the most important aspect being

I bought a new laptop, I've named it Eklavya - yes, this is perhaps the only legend I've ever loved. The autodidactic learner who surpasses the teacher's wildest dreams.

I've selected the GitHub repos and the languages I wish to explore and contribute to. Boy, if you could listen to my thoughts your'd hear music, a symphony of ambition and instruments of persistence.

I'll write more regularly now. Sagematics and The Talking Apes are the two biggest contributions I can make towards a growth-oriented community and I know that I don't write professionally
but each and every word, makes it way from my heart.


I've started a couple projects with my friends as collaborators, which combine Human Languages and Programming skills, Contextual and Project oriented learning is the way forward. Always.
