Financial Capital Mumbai is FLOATING!!

Wow! what a rain it is...its still pouring and the forecast is that this pouring is not gonna leave mumbai for next 48 hours! Mumbai is facing a 'deadly tsunami'...lot of people stranded everywhere, every nook and corner of the city...2 much man..2 much!! No trains, No buses, No flights (Airport is Closed!!)...can just imagine the situation over there!
A good equation is:
Mumbai - Locals (trains) = Lifeless!!
I remember, when i and my folks had faced the same situation (Good god, not this much heavy rains..but still it was good enough 2 cut down power and make the trains come 2 a standstill!) where on a sunday (in 1994), me and my folks had gone for an outing in Fort area and late that evening, came back to VT station. As it was slightly raining, we somehow managed to reach the station...but when we reached, the situation was like very less trains (due 2 downpour in other parts of the city) and hence lotz and lotz of people waiting for the train! Finally, somehow we managed to get into a train, to found that after pulling away from the station (near Masjid station, next 2 VT/CST)...power went off and the trains came 2 a halt! The tracks were fully covered with water!!
But, god showed some mercy and after nearly half-an-hour, the downpour was less, power was restored and the trains started moving!! Wah! kya experience tha woh... Hmmm...coming bk 2 the present, Good lord! am in Bangalore, so are my folks!! But, i dont know if this situation is replicated in Bangalore..!! god, i just cant imagine this... hope it doesnt touch Bangalore...just hope so...:) AMEN!

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 ...
