'Prakruthi' amidst Prakruthi :-)

Confusing title right?? :-) Let me explain...On Sunday evening, we (my wife and myself) planned to visit the Cubbon Park after a very long gap! So we went to this park by 1630hrs and by the time we parked the vehicle and walked down to one of the main areas of the park (Cubbon Band Stand) it was 1645hrs. We knew that every Sunday at 1700hrs, there will be light music from a music group called "Prakruthi" backed by the Asianet - Suvarna Kannada TV channel and here we were there in front of the band stand, right on time, where the stage was being set to start the program. My wife insisted to sit there but I was bit reluctant as I was feeling not-so-interested for the program. But when the program started, I got some interest to be there and listen to the music...Guess what made me interest to be there?? It was this announcement: two Japanese folks from the renowned Toyoto-Kirloskar Motors, Bidadi plant (Bangalore) were going to sing kannada songs and that too near perfection! :-) Yes! Jappu people singing kannada songs!! I had heard about this in some news couple of months back but now, it was the time to see there real action! The program started and there were two lean Japanese 'san's on the stage (Chiba-san and Takeshi-san -> one of them is at a GM level!) who were ready to sing the beautiful kannada songs and when it started, all were left with a wow!! They sang really well and hats off to both the guys! "Santhoshakke" (Shankar nag movie) was rendered for the 2nd time from Chiba-san upon people's request (including we both!) :-) 1.5hrs went by like that where we were enjoying every moment of it...really great of these people and thanks to the Prakruthi team to bring this amazing talent to public in the midst of the Prakruthi of Cubbon Park!

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 ...
