Rocking saturday eve's!!

Hmmm...One more saturday eve came, was there, and went-off!! :) It was a nice saturday eve, where me and 2 of my buddies had planned for a movie in PVR, Forum shopping mall! So, there we were, at around 1615hrs in the Forum mall...man, what a crowd it was on that day!! I can roughly estimate around 1000+ people at that time! I strongly feel, if bangalore gets 10 more of these type of malls, you can find the same number of crowd in all the malls!! This is the craze of bangalore now...:) Coming back to my planned stuff, we could not get tickets to any movie over there (it was almost expected!)...every movie was booked for the whole day as well as for the next day, Sunday!! So, we 3 people, roamed in & around the mall for half-an-hour and then, when our legs [infact, it was mine! :)] got strained out, we decided to have a break and offer something for our stomach! So, we went to McDonalds (me, after a very long time!) and had a delicious 'Paneer Salsa Wrap'! Giving company to it was a 'Strawberry McShake'...hmmm...that was amazing! My friends had Burgers and Coke.. After eating, the next question was what to do next? As it was only 1830hrs, we did not want 2 go back 2 home! So, we decided that we will go to Amoeba Bowling alley, Church Street!! wow, that was good as it had been a long long time, me having hands-on bowling!! :)
So, we set out to Brigade's Church street...one hell of a crowded fish market!!
When we went 2 Amoeba...boy, wat a rush it was for the bowling...we had to wait for 1hour to get a lane for us!! Finally, the time came and at around 2030hrs, we got the lane...
We had a bet saying that whoever crosses 100 mark [as we are not very proficient in the game and hence we had 100 as our target! :)] and whoever comes first, will get a treat from the second and the third runners!! :)
So, the game begin and went on for around 0.5hrs and guess what, i emerged as the winner with 129 points in my pocket!! One of my two friends hit 121 points and the other (who had told himself that i have to cross 100 mark) did not make it!! He hit the end of the road at 97 : ( [Am not teasing here...mind it:)] Happens in life...me, did not expect even 2 touch 100 mark...but somehow got to 'form' and made it !! :)
And now, it was the time 2 say good bye for the sat eve as well as my friends...this was our third sat eve meet and hope it goes on for the rest of sat eves' to follow! :)

Recap of 2010 & the Fresh 2011...

Happy New Year 2011 and Happy Sankranti, Pongal to all!! Hope we all have a rocking and exiting 2011 ahead... Having missed out of the blog scene, lot of things have passed in past year of 2010 which I would like to write... 2010 - what an year of ups and downs and ups :-) On the professional front, I changed the job from one US blue-chip major to another US blue-chip major & apparently both being strong rivals to one another...Am talking about my job change from Hewlett-Packard ( HP India ) to IBM India ! Both are great companies to work where both of them share a great history of innovation and culture. However once inside a company and totally involved in your job, all these will take a second priority and there comes your job&role as the first priority. So my shift from the earlier Services based / project based job role to the current Labs which involve product development & support...A better long-term view than that of a short-term :-) One more interesting fact ...

A Unique Experience In My Life...

I will word this as my unique experience in my life because I had never undergone this stuff earlier in my 28 years of journey called Life and I never want this to happen again in my life...I dont want this to happen to any one else also... Feb 14th will be etched in my book of life for two unique reasons - one sad and one happy! The happy part is that my first car delivery happened on this day and I was very happy for myself and my family for getting a good car (at last!). The happiness is still continuing and will be there in future also... Now, the sad part of the story is that on that morning I started experiencing a reduction in my left eye vision, something like some object has been placed in front of my eye and this is obstructing me to see clearly...I neglected this for sometime thinking that my normal drops will solve this issue but till evening even after many rounds of eye drops, the problem still existed...Then I rushed to a nearby eye clinic where dilatation process was...

Wrong move or Right move?

Last week, i was called by my manager and asked me a small question that would affect me in a huge way! The small and simple question was: Are you ready to travel to Mumbai, for a project, for a period of 4-6months? Around 5 people are planned to be put into this project. This was a difficult question for me, as i am 50-50 for this oppurtunity. If I look from the Work perspective, as per the inputs from my manager and other concerned people, it is really good, where you go and study an existing system, get Knowledge Transfer from the client and come back to Bangalore and start that project by setting up a team. But the catch here is Mumbai...i would like to work in Mumbai but given my current situation where i have got a valid US Visa, i dont want to miss the oppurtunity that *may* come to me inline with my Visa! So, here is the dilemma, a 50-50 scenario for me...:( Finally, after discussing with my parents and applying some self-thought :) and leaving the things to god and following ...
