Lately I have also felt the same way when a certain part of work was tying me down (but not too much to call myself busy enough to be handicapped). But ya, it's always worth a thought that whatever I am doing, is it going to sustain for a really long time for me to keep doing it with complete disregard for other opportunities? I can see the flipside of the things you mention, in some of the well placed Indian IT companies. They seem to be too pre-occupied with their bread-and-butter business of application development and maintenance. Being an IT analyst, it makes me wonder how long do they think this is going to last, since they arent really spending much on R&D, as compared to their smaller counterparts who have very aggressive R&D budgets. Thanks for the thought. This was refreshing. Lately I have also felt the same way when a certain part of work was tying me down (but not too much to call myself busy enough to be handicapped).

I guess while running a business you have to keep balancing "mechanical execution" with "thinking new opportunities". You have to constantly watch if you are titling too much on one side and make the correction Good point Sahil!
