Back to reality and life!

Bit long time gap between this and my previous blog...hmmmm...sometimes it so happens that you want to write/blog but you cannot do it...:-( Anyways, here is some of my updates from the last 10 days! :-) As my post title indicates, I am back to the reality and back with my life...in namma bengaluru :-) Flew back from Sydney on Sunday 26th April (supposed to be on 1st or 2nd may but some last minute changes forced us to travel earlier...our tickets were preponed and reconfirmation was available only on thursday evening!) Prior to our travel on Friday evening, we (with 5 of my colleagues who had travelled) went to watch a 3D film in the World's Largest 3D Screen!! This screen is in IMax, Darling Harbour - 10 minutes walk from where we had stayed. The show was about an underwater exploration for 45 minutes and narrated by Jim Carrey! It was a very nice experience and a awesome huge screen!! On Saturday, we planned and went to the most famous beach in Sydney called the Bondi Beach! Bondi is a suburb in Sydney and the water here is very pure and crystal clear and so the coastline. Making this beach more famous is the baywatch style rescue people and the topless sun-bathers :O) You can watch the 'Bondi Rescue' TV series that is shown in National Geographic channel, very often. Their is a bondi walk path that runs along the bondi beach, which is really enjoyable and so unique...This walk path connects to another beach nearby called the Tamarama beach, which is a suburb of Sydney. We all walked for nearly 45 minutes enjoying the spectacular view of the beach, the coastline and the horizon! Later, we traced back our path and then came back to our hotel by evening. Sydney underground metro had to be taken to reach to this beach from the CBD - Town Hall station. Back here, work is on full swing, where the design phase for which we went is being wrapped up and we now entering the build phase of the project. Another interesting but sad turn to our work is that we have now moved to our EC Campus and vacated our good old Al-Kareem facility :-( So, 1 hour in morning and 1 hour in evening commutation has started :-(( In one sense good, start early, come back early...and more than that, nothing is in our hand...whatever management says, need to obey them :-)

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 ...
