One Down..............

Last Friday, I was in Mumbai to attend one of my very close friend's (PINAL) engagement ceremony. Today, friends doesn't even showup for marriage and there we were, a bunch of fanatics travelled all the way to attend Engagement Ceremony, that too on weekday. So I think you have got the idea how close that friend of our is? Anyway, for me it was a blessing in disguise. I needed a break from work (free pool to be precise). And when you get a chance to meet your favourite buddies, never think twice (my policy). I don't believe in the institution of marriage, but I went to see my friend smile and blush. He might have not got the girl of his dreams but I am sure, the girl, he is going to marry will become his dreams eventually. :-). I was very pleased to meet his fiancee. She is beautiful, lovely, full of joy and a great company to have. But I do regret that Pinal is Marwari. Want to know why? Attend a friends marriage who is Marwari and a millionaire, you will get the answer. There are few things worth trying than learning from others experience. :-)


Of all my friends, the equation now is ONE DOWN.


Oh! Almost forgot to mention........ Never ever take your eyes from your belongings while passing from Kalyan Junction Railway Station. Lost my new RBK shoes. :-(

Surviving IT Industry..........Secret revealed

It's been more than an year in IT Industry, for me as a developer. In this period, most of my time was spent in learning. Honestly I was in bench/free Pool cooling my boots :-). It's difficult to spend 9.5 hrs at office when you are in free pool or bench. But there are a lots of way to clear the blues. For more details, Check my blog. No, I am not going to revise it again. It's about surviving IT Industry. So here are few tips :-

1. Your Manager is not GOD and he/she is not the one paying your salary. Never take shit from them. Show some attitude.
2. If you have a girlfriend/boyfriend, throw her/him out of your life before they do.
3. Learn to say NO.
4. Never take work to home irrespective of the load.
5. Never discuss office during hangout with friends.
6. Visit some place which is quiet and peaceful every alternate month.
7. Never make plans for weekends if you are in Project.
8. Never commit for a deadline if the project is of short duration.
9. Rent/Buy a room near to office location to minimize travelling time.
10. Always insist on e-mails for communication. (And save those for future references)
11. Never tell your weakness to your managers and collegues.
12. Never compare yourself with others. Very Important. Most of the time leads to inferiority complex.
13. Must find a way to relax yourself in stressfull situation. Never loose your temperature.
14. Always apply for leave in advance.
15. Always be ready to learn something new and creative. Doing same kind of work leads to boredom.

Very important thing, here i am not talking about just going to office and saving your day. This is about surviving IT Industry and walking out everyday with your hands held high.

Keep doing the good job guys.

I might have forgot to mention few important points. If you have any, please feel free to add them in comment section.

A Professional Year !!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday, May 4th, is one of the most important day in my life. May 4th is the day my Dad was born, back in 1958. May 4th 2009 is the day when I started my professional life.

I still remember my training days at Wipro Technologies in Chennai. Meeting college friends after long time. But the best part was that I met my best friends (only 2 were missing). After a year of completing my engineering and wandering jobless, I was quite excited about joining. Everyday I used to get up early so that I can reach on time for training (Dressed in Formals). 2 rigorous months of training, and then everything went haywire. We were assigned to different department and were asked to report to different locations all over India. Most of my friends were moved out of Chennai.


I still remember the day I met my Supervisor. I used to think, Manager and Supervisor are very intelligent. But my thought met the brutal reality. My supervisor was one of the most annoying person I had ever met. He wanted me to learn new technologies and expected to take 3 sessions daily on Java, J2ME and J2EE. Ask him for a project at, say Pune and he will make sure you never get a chance to go to Pune. All said, I think he is good at heart. He did cared for us. But still sometimes, I feel like hitting him when he don't reply to mails. :-)


I still remember the day I was asked to move to Bangalore. I was quite happy going out of Chennai, but was little sad about my dear friend (Room mate). I was assigned a project. Never got a chance to work on the Project for which I was transferred. Then got a chance to work on a challenging Project. Had to finish it in 2 months. Did it hard way. Now again in free pool from last 3 months. No regrets. :-)


Note:- From the day I came to bangalore, there was only one day when I was dressed in complete Formals. The enthu and spark are still there. Still eager to work late night if project demands, but first thing first, need a project to work on (Not desperate though). Now I am economically sound too.

P.S. I want to thank my seniors for helping me through bad and sad times at office.

Don't want to be Murdered, I want to Die.........

I don't know how many people think about the day they will die, how many think about the way they die. But call me crazy or mental, I think alot about the way I want to say goodbye to this beautiful life. From past 2 weeks I was writing the below paragraphs, most of which might not make any sense. I tried hard that it rhymes. Here it goes:-

Don't want to be Murdered, I want to Die

Terrorists kill people, I don't know why,

One day I ll meet the same fate,

Just a mere thought make me Cry,

Don't want to be Murdered, I want to Die

Don't want to be victim of Earthquake,

Don't want to run from Tsunami so High,

Don't want death in face of accident,

Don't want a bullet through Head or Thigh,

Don't want to be Murdered, I want to Die

Before embracing death with my open Arms,

Every possible thing, I want to Try,

I want to live life to fullest, enjoy every Moment,

I don't want to regret while closing my Eyes,

I want to die in peace without sheding Tears,

I don't want to be Murdered, I just want to DIE.

P.S. It's still unfinished. There are more lines to add in the middle part.
