A simple "man find" would help you.
Code:
find /opt -name vijay

Do you have the appropriate read/execute permissions in that directory and/or on the file(s) that you seek?

Actually "hangs up" usually means "did not respond as fast as I would like". It could be that /opt is very large and/or is a slow filesystem.
