My PMP Journey!

Image
  When was the last time I had been this jubilant? Of course, apart from vibrant travel experiences, I suppose, undoubtedly, it was when I FINALLY wrote and cleared my PMP certification exam. Such a yearlong, arduous journey, but never mind, I got there in the end. Better late than never, is it not? Before I take you to my backbreaking journey of PMP, I’d like to offer a very big thank you to Shriram, for persistently keeping me motivated with his enthused messages around the clock! You’re a class act and I owe you big-time! But that having been said, it is very funny how I even got motivated to do PMP. I still remember it as clear as day it had been the first time, I was handling a non-ERP based project and was given with a resource who was key for the project. No room for guessing and he was completely demotivated in the role and in the project. It was when I started googling on how to handle or motivate such resources, I stumbled upon PMP.

Solitudinal Bliss!

What do you actually seek in solitude?                         Perfect Realization of your own strengths! If you ever come to a state that you lost your touch with the life that you lived, UNPLUG every possible person and thing in your life to rejuvenate yourself.

It is an opportunity to stop doing for others and delight oneself instead.  Self-improvement and success go hand in hand but not necessarily mean they are same things.

Traveling challenges you – your assumptions, your limits and of course, the boundaries of your comfort zone. I’m beyond grateful to travel Turkey!!!   Here’s what I got up to.                The city of ISTANBUL!!!!!!!!  ********quite impressive and marvellous******* It’s one of the most awe-inspiring cities I’ve been so far. Home to breathtaking architecture, views, delicious  food,  experiences,  some of the warmest, most genuinely hospitable people I’ve ever met in my travels. If I would get a chance, I will definitely plan for this amazing place again in the months of apr-may which is the most ideal time to visit. Winters is also not a bad option if you can bare the cold weathers. I had been at the beginning of the winters i.e. the first week of December, and so it was still quite a  pleasant time. But you might have challenges in visiting some places like capadoccia-Air balloon, Pamukale...
