Weekend Rains @ Bangalore = Tokyo memories!

This sunday has been a wet sunday for namma bengalooru! Coz from noon, it is constantly raining with few minutes breaks in between! Clouds were moving rapidly and it was playing hide-n-seek game with the Sun :-) This remembers me of my flight from Japan, en route to Bangkok/Thailand on 6th Sept 2005. My flight was at 10 AM and since the Tokyo Narita International Airport is around 85kms from the city, I had to leave early, as early as 5.30AM! But rains started previous night and hadn't stopped in the morning also. Visibility was very low but as I had booked the taxi earlier, the cab had come at 5.15AM itself. Finally I reached airport and during take off time also, weather was very bad with all black clouds around and we faced lot of air turbulances during take-off itself. To my surprise, when the flight ascended 11000feet altitude, I could the flight totally covered by the thick black clouds and lot of turbulence. Suddenly from nowhere, we saw a tinge of blue sky emerging and as the flight ascended further to 11500feet, voila! we were seeing a clear blue sky with bright sun sparkling in between!! This was the real moment for me where just below I could see thick black clouds pouring the rains to the Tokyo city and now, above this we saw a wonderful blue paradise!! I I still cannot forget this amazing moment and wish I could capture it in my camera but unfortunately due to some reasons, could not do so...But everything is right in front of my eyes and this memory will leave forever...:-) So, whenever I see the thick clouds pouring the rain, I go back to that moment and cherish my memories!! :-))

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 ...
