It’s been a busy week with lots of stuff getting done. It’s not a hectic week. Just busy enough to keep me active in my personal and professional life. We are in the last week of the first half of 2023; I am still waiting to realize half the year is over.
I started writing online after joining Infosys (my first job) in 2003. So this year, I also completed 20 years of working.
