Two Too Good Movies For Republic Day Weekend!

This 60th year Republic Day gave us an extended weekend as it was on Monday. Even the partial Solar Eclipse happened yesterday, which was good in one sense - that we were bound to stay at home during the day time! So, to make good use of the time :-) we rented DVDs of two very good movies, which the second half of 2008 saw! The movies are: 'Vaaranam Aayiram' (Tamil) and 'A Wednesday' (Hindi). 'Vaaranam Aayiram' is a very family oriented story (more of a father-son relationship and friendship) with lot of sweet romance added! This film is worth the watch and Surya is superb in both his roles as a father and son also! Sameera Reddy, Ramya (Tamil name: Divya Spandana) and Simran add good value for their respective roles. Overall excellent family movie to watch! 'A Wednesday' is yet another excellent superb 1hr 40mins movie to watch. Its about a fight of a common man post the Mumbai blasts and how our Indian system is vulnerable to any attacks, by anybody!! Naseerudin Shah, Anupam Kher, Jimmy Shergill (surprise!) and other crew members have done really well, Shah and Kher being the toppers!! One more sensible and worth watching film, in the middle of all these stupid, non-sense films!

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 ...
