Roads...

I am back on the more familiar side of the road. Always wondered how it'd be to be on the “other” side. Must say, as eventful and as stirring it was to be on the “other” side, the sting was always overwhelming!

But here i am, again, on the proverbial side... only distinction being, now I recognize with what the person on the “other” side might undergo! Oh it’s excruciating!!! No matter which side of the road!

I blame it all on the roads…and god for deciding who should be on what side of the road!

I am tired being on the sides on road... I wanna be on the road...

The people who make me ... me

Everytime i see these pics, I get a wonderful feeling of sufficiency...:)

God!, please keep these people always happy!

The Bummmzzz Culture!

If its your Bday or its your last day in the project or its your day before you are going on a week-long vacation or you've got engaged or you've got married or you've won some award... or you've just been organizing too many bumms for others--- all these qualify for a bumz sessions at NM!





(Ravi's getting married)

And once it starts, the entire account ceases to function till everyone involved has kicked some asses!...






Moi loves these sessions... because
1. They are a good break from resolving the never-ending issues in QSRP!
2. It provides a good vent! ...
3. These sessions are very women-friendly. A lady is welcome to kick anybody's butt but she can be totally fearless about reciprocation of such gestures!...:)

IHLDian of the week

Yepppiiee!.. My week is shortly due...:) and here was my shot at self-promotion...;)

- A few words about yourself...
I think of myself as a dot at the center of a blank sheet of paper! A tini-mini part of a humongous set up... yet the only thing that can’t go unnoticed!

- What's the most challenging part of your job?
Understanding the salary structure!..;)

- Infosys to you is...
A School where I get paid for learning..;)

- How does it feel working in IHL
I haven’t worked much else where…But, for now, I wouldn’t want to be else-where!

- If you were not into IT, you would have been...
in interactive-e-teaching! I fancy looking the camera in the eye and talking about computer networking in a remote teaching center, with my students distributed all across the world at their study centers. I had a chance to live up the fancy when I was working with MAHE (Manipal Academy of Higher Education)’s distance education Wing. I dare say..the kick that I got out of the question raised by a student from a remote-study center was a notch higher than what Ms Indira Gandhi must have felt when Rakesh sharma first described how India looked from the Moon!

- Favourite Place to Hang Out...
Sultan Battery in Mangalore!

- If you could pick one from books, music or movies, it would be...
Book- Kane and Able
Music –Shubha Mudgal’s Seekhonaa..Naino ki Bhasha piya…
Movies- Shrek, Antz, Mr Incredible… ( Oh I could go on and on..)

- Your Motto in Life
Relationships do not have to be compromised for Business!
My Funda- A couple of yrs from now, when I turn back, I might not remember the lines of code I reviewed, but I sure would remember the relations I had with my team-mates! – Every today, I strive towards making sure I have beautiful relations to cherish tomorrow.

- Message to all IHLDians
Please do not call people “resources”!!!.... we are quiet different from chairs and computers…Let us show we understand the difference!
