'Crater filling' exercise on ITPL road, in the peak hour!

Yesterday, as i was commuting back to my home, in my office cab @ 1745hrs, we saw an unexpected traffic block in a place, called ITPL road. This road and a section in this road had a huge potholes...hmmm...appropriately called CRATERS in the middle of the road and this made the life of all vehicle drivers a hell driving thru this stretch!
This Crater was in place from past 6 months and nobody bothered / cared about this stretch, even though this was a road that was leading out of the prestigious ITPL! But yesterday, we saw an unexpected 'Crater filling' exercise taken up by the concerned people...this is the good part of the story but the bad...er...the worst part of the story is that this exercise was taken up not during the non-peak hour session, where the traffic will be less compared to the peak hour...but during the peak hour and that too during the time of people leaving the office in the evening at 1745hrs!! Who the hell gives them this idea/logic/whatever of blocking an already worse road for an exercise that lead to a 10-minute slow movement of traffic. Good that we were among the first pile of traffic to pass thru this blockage and hence took 10-minutes...otherwise, it could have been much worse!
This stupid 'crater filling' stuff could have been taken during the noon time or during the night time when the traffic will be very less, but...but...god, why did you create brains for this guys! Also, i am sure that this exercise will last only a couple of days/utmost couple of weeks and the stretch will definitely be back to its original form! This is the kind of governance we have and this is kind of 'smart' guys working 'for the benifit of the people' !!
Hey god, dont you regret for creating this brains ?? If not, its high time you confess...

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 ...
