The World is Flat and India, a fore-runner in this!!

Yesterday i finished reading this book 'The World is Flat' by Thomas L Friedman.
I really appreciate the author for this fantastic information collection, from all around the world and putting it into papers!
Especially i liked the part where he explains the Supply chain management of Walmart and Dell..This really rocks! :)
India sure gets a good importance in the whole book; this is so nice to see and hear and read about my country and 'indirectly' to be part of the book is also good...hmmm...what i mean here is IT is the major talk becuase of which the World had become flat and India is put on the world map..Now, I being in this IT industry, will naturally be part of this right?? :))
On the same lines, i was thinking of how within India, the 'World had become flat'...India is part of the World flattening process and within India also, therez no exception...Sure that Intranation has become flat! :)
For instance, i am working in a Indian MNC where i interact with lot of people and some of them are my friends. This friends' group includes people not only from Bangalore, not only from this state Karnataka but people from different parts of India! So, i have friends from Bengal, from MP, from AP, from Tamil Nadu, from Kerala, from Maharashtra and some other states!
So, the flattening of the world has inturn flattened India, outside and inside! So good right...:)

Kalale after 7 years and Unbelievable Bangalore-Mysore Highway!

This weekend was an awesome one...everything went fine as planned! After a long 6-7 years, i visited my dad's village 'Kalale', around 4 kms from the Nanjangud town, which in turn is 25kms from Mysore city. It is the time of the 10-day festival / Jatra in the village and saturday, 18th March 2006 was the day for the grand Kalale Rathothsava / Kalale Ther!!! Me and my cousin-bro started off from Bangalore on friday evening @ 1745hrs in his car...We took the banagalore-mysore highway, the new 4-lane road with a 2mtr divider in between the road making it one-way on either side! The road is awesome and you can move in breathtaking speed (we drove at the speed of 120-130kmph!!!) and i stongly feel this is the ONLY good job (on the infrastructure front) the government has done! :) Its the kind of worth the wait for this type of beautiful road...The most happiest person to drive on this road will be our good old KSRTC drivers, who would have gone thru hell for so long years...now,

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
