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 ...
When I wake up daily and start thinking of the day's agenda, first thing that comes to my mind is commutation to my office, which is around 13 kms from home! Not a big deal but the killer roads and traffic of bengalooru makes me go mad! :-( Much has been talked on the infrastructure, which I do not see any kind of improvement, now or in the future! I wonder where our taxes that we pay so honestly every month goes, where all the CESS goes (The most deserving example is rate of Petrol and Diesel in Karnataka and especially in namma Bengalooru - it is highest in India, thanks to the varities of CESS we have apart from normal ones!) Where all these CESS goes? Dont we deserve proper roads and proper traffic system when we pay so much?? If this was not enough, from next month, there is the great government plan to bring so-called 'Infrastructure Cess' on all 2-wheelers and 4-wheelers!! What the heck and what the crap?? All these makes me so so irritative but who is there to hea...
