It's been quite some time that I added anything to my blog. There wasn't much stuff to write about I thought , and then I came across this phrase 'When was the last time you did something for the first time ?' and I am inspired to write again .
Actually to answer this question , there are quite a few new things I have learnt in these few months and I thought would be a nice idea to pen down the learnings ... so here they go....
1) Vipassana Meditation technique : I attended the vipassana meditation camp in the month of august and what an awesome experience it was to keep silent for 10 days and have control on the diet. The learnings were
a) The clear distinction of how my mind functions.
b) The ability to detach myself from my thoughts and observe.
c) The ability to really medidate deep.
And of course the art of sleeping while sitting in meditation !!!! ...just kidding !!
2) Hands on Enterprise Architect Tool : Worked on a complete slice of work related to Model Driven Architecture (MDA). The learnings were
a) Business Process Model got developed to understand the domain
thoroughly.
b) The Domain Model gets sharply defined if the Business
Processes are deeply thought through.
c) The definition of entity and relationship.An entity has
its own data and behaviour. The behaviour is something the
entity is completely responsible for . To know the
behavior ,it's important to ask the question 'What the entity
is responsible for ?'
d) How to create Transformation templates and generate Code
automatically?
e) How to identify patterns in code to abstract for Automatic
Code generation?
f) How to pick up any domain quickly?
3) Public Speaking : Have joined Toast Masters Club Mumbai which helps me improve my public speaking skills
a) How to organise thoughts for a presentation?
b) How to deliver a speech keeping the purpose in the centre ?
c) How to evaluate a speech ? How to judge a speech?
It's about time to pick up something new again !!
