Sir..credit card beka??

This title is with reference to the 'anonymous' calls i get in my office! (am not alone here...read on...) Caller: Hello Me: Hello Caller: Sir, i am calling from XXX bank. (Can i have 2 minutes of your time sir.) {denotes optional, some callers request for this...some dont...keep on talking:)} This is regarding a life-time free Credit Card from our bank, which we are giving for free! Me: I am not intrested in Credit Cards. Thank you. (The caller still does not 'spare' me) Caller: Sir, why dont you hear the benifits of this card and then decide on it. Me: No, i am not intrested and dont like having {sometimes...i say 'i hate'...this may hurt but the pestering stops!} credit cards...So, thank you. (Hope she leaves me) Caller: Sir, can i get some references of your friends who might be intrested in this card? (Should i say, ok..one sec, then standup from my seat and make a broadcast asking for anybody intrested in this credit card!!??!!) Me: Nope, i dont know anybody who might be intrested. Thank you. Caller: Ok sir, fine, thank you. Me: Ok..good day! Thanks. {last Thanks for leaving me! :) } This cycle continues for other fellas too...what they do (which i think) is that they pickup some random number/s and start dialling! I think now they too have come to know that consequetive numbers dialling will be a waste as fellas like me would have informed my folks here abt a call..So, they pick up some random number and once i keep the phone on the hook here..after 10-15seconds, some other phone starts-off and yup! the same caller again and the cycle continues... In the mean time, (sometimes) i seriously wonder who will click for them...I think they might be praying god that "god, please make 1 out of 10..no no 20 calls ...no no..25 calls successful! please give me some leads!" hmmm...bejaara bhagavaan, sun hi leta hai and yup! somebody, somewhere asks for some more details and hurray! they get one lead...:) This breaks my thought and life returns back to normal! :) I still remember and will always remember what my mom says...this credit card is like a 'decent saala'...a 'decent karz'...means where u vl be taking a credit/loan from a bank in a 'professional' way!!!! Really mom...u r rite...:)

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 ...
