Blog It Forward - Hussain Sehorewala

[Former Member]

I had been tagged by katya.shmuel almost a year back in her blog -> Blog It Forward - Katya Shmuel .

I hope this BIF blog encourages SCN members post their BIF blogs and again start the chain .

Lets start with Introduction

I am a SAP Basis Specialist and SCN member for 6 years now. Currently I am working with IBM. .

Being in SAP Basis gives you new experiences every day (sure all Basis Forks will agree), including few days when you dont like your job. 

It is like living on the edge; with everyday comes in new technology, new challenge, new problems and new learnings.

Here is a SCN blog on what I have to say about my Job .

Let me list down activities that keep be busy and makes me happy

Biking

I like to ride when the weather is right and enjoy the most when I have a nice company .

That is my ride, which I had rode 500 Kms  (Mumbai to Pune and Back) in 2 days when i first got it. 

While the same is not true for driving. Driving is not much of a delight in cit like Mumbai.

Here is a blog about what I have to say about it: Lessons form Driving

Photography

I believe this passion for photography comes with my disposition of close observation,

Closing observing things , a habit that I might have developed due to inspecting server logs closely as part of Basis work.

I know it is unusual to link hobbies to your work.

Photography to me is like capturing time - space and presenting it the way to see. One of my mobile click showing London from the London Eye.

Sketching

This is a new hobby I took up and I am happy I did.

And I realized I like to sketch portraits more then anything else.

Its wonderful to learn how minute details make huge difference in how we look.

I wish to sketch landscapes of world famous places which I visit and admire.

Travelling

Even though I have seen very few cities and countries, I have been travelling all the while for work. Engineer from Mumbai University, got in placed in Satyam Computers in Hydrabad. After few days of training  got into a project in Chennai for job training. Then my job took to lot of different cities in India like Pune , Bangalore, Dheli and Mumbai .

I got a changes to work in Doha (Qatar) and right now I am in Coventry, United Kindom. Visited few places in United Kingdom like London, Scotland , Beriminghum, Lake district, peak district, Black Pool and Stradford.  If you have any more suggestion please leave a comment

Getting to two BIF Questions of my choice.

If you were 20 again, what would you study?

I would get a degree in Computer Engg, then would take up masters in Artificial intelligence and virtual Reality .

To add to that that I would like to get a study Management, which hopefully I should still manage to do.

In addtion  :
