5 years.... On reminiscing.. it is quite a long time! (Part 2)

Continuing..........

YEAR 4 - 2005-06

1) First implementation/rollout visit to Pune.

2) First experience staying at a five-star hotel.

3) Fallout with my manager/team coz i was supposed to go back to the BPO when I was told that I'll be put into the IT company process.

4) Quit that company to join my present company - Lost 3 years and 8 months of experience just coz of one silly decision not to wait for the experience certificate and join this company immediately :( Learnt an invaluable lesson out of this...

5) Worked in a dingy 6x6 room -- there were 14 of us squeezed in there.. and this was near MG Road... imagine.

6) Took my first leave in the new company to perform Dad's one year anniv.

7) Office shifted to whitefield.. relived the same experience of travelling (this time by a sumo) to that distance..New office was spacious for all of us..

8) Cousin and me were caught by a drunk constable and we bribed him 30/- just coz we moved when the signal was YELLOW and not GREEN! & this was on Jan 1st (Sunday) :(

9) Bought my bike.. Lovely experience of riding! (If Dad was alive, he wud not have allowed me to either change the company or buy a bike... took complete advantage of his death!;) )

YEAR 5 - 2006-07

1) My first long ride... all the way to Mysore... Enjoyed the ride to the core and the rush of adrenalin made me take a few more of those rides, alone at times, with a cousin twice... it was as if the 140 kms distance was nothing at all.... and i have covered the distance twice in 2 hours or less, and all the times in less than 2 1/2 hours.

2) My first accident on my bike... and had to spend almost 45 days without touching the bike... That was really hard! I was obsessed and addicted to my bike!

3) My new team... I can boldly say that it is my team coz I was given a growth here.. and was a Team Lead there.. it is a completely different experience leading a team coz u r not only responsible for ur actions, but also have to be responsible for ur teams actions and I believe I've done good here. You should also be accessible to your team so that they come up to you and tell the hardships that they might be facing.

4) I dunno but this kept happening to me.......... another set of fallouts.. both personal and official.. with Sis, mom, cousin, best friend, team, team lead (of the second shift), manager, client, client manager....... GAWD!! thinking back on that gives me the shocks!

5) My days of begging and beseeching the client managers, no matter even if my team had performed absolutely well... Shit, I had to get out of that!

6) My first scuffle of words - it became almost physical with the team lead of the second shift... probably, this caused it all... and i got a change.

I'm now into a different project, enjoying every minute of my work and life.. being both happy and sad.. happy coz I got whatever I expected and happy again coz I have been recognised!

Thanks everyone... for just being there, encouraging, discouraging, irritating, scolding, loving, hating, fighting, kidding, teasing, inspiring.... the list can go on and on and on......................

ADDENDUM

Din't realise... but this is my 100th post!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations Suks... :)

Secularism -- Majority and Minority

This post is not dedicated to anyone and is just a forwarded email which has been copied and pasted over here... and i am forced to assume that this is the truth! I had posted earlier on the same topic and here i go again! Talking abt majority and minority as a part of the comments in my previous post, i was forced to put this in points below: 1. Do you consider that - Sanskrit is communal and Urdu is secular, Mandir is Communal and Masjid is Secular, Sadhu is Communal and Imam is secular,VandeMatharam is communal and Allah-O-Akbar is secular, Shriman is communal and Mian is secular, Hinduism is Communal and Islam is Secular? 2. Why Godhra is blown out of proportion, when no-one talks of the ethnic cleansing of 4 lakh Hindus from Kashmir? 3. When Christian and Muslim schools can teach Bible and Quran, Why Hindus cannot teach Gita in our schools? 4. When Haj pilgrims are given subsidy, why Hindu pilgrims to Amarnath, Sabarimalai & Kailash Mansarovar are taxed? 5. If Muslims & C...

The Truth - "Kannada Barutha"??? Kannada barbeku!

"Kannada Barutha??", ah! I am sure most of you in Bangalore would have heard this, but what is "kannada barutha?" here it goes. Bangalore the IT capital of India , the silicon city and now a Metro city opened its gates to almost all kinds of people. Very evidently the recent poll census proved that there are only 47% of original inhabitants in Bangalore/bengaluru. The life style of the city has seen a gradual change with Pizza Corners replacing MTR's, classy eat out's replacing "Vidyarthi Bhavans" and flashy pub's replacing all our "Mahalakshmi wine shops". "Change is inevitable" from the days of BEML, HAL and BHEL to INFOSYS, WIPRO; Bangalore has a new look now on the world map. Gone are the days where a typical Sunday for any bangalorean was a nice romantic walk on the pavements of "LALBAGH...", "rave idli and coffee.." at the nearest yet old looking MTR and a wonderful Annavra film either at Santosh o...

Love or Infatuation

Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another. Love, on the other hand, is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows - one day at a time. Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity, you are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream. Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real, it gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warned by his/her presence, even when is away. Long distances do not separate you. You want him/her near, but near or far, you know he/she is yours and you can wait. Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing him/her." Love says, "Be patient, Don't Panic. He/she is yours. Plan your future with confidence." Infatuation...
