Last day at my first desk!!!!

Well it seems quite weird, infact very weird that i have to clear my desk now. It is the last day of my first ever desk. It was really fun place actually. Somehow i was situated in such a way that i had my privacy also and also my part of interference. I had my personal desk phone which not many people do here. It was really really a great place. Somehow a happy place. I know although the future of my leaving this desk may be somewhat good, somewhat satisfying. But still it seems sad that i am leaving this place forever. Although this couldnt have happened to me at a much better time as my first ever project is just about to get over, almost all of my friends have either been released or transferred or relocated. So in all this is a blessing in disguise.

I have achieved a lot from this project. I have received lots of responsibilities, lots of work, lots of appreciation also. I have worked a lot in this project. I hope i can prove myself again, as i had proved myself here. I hope i can gain the same value as i had gained here. I hope, i hope...

Well it seems a bit sad to leave this beautiful and lovely place. But life needs to keep moving on. And i know that i am getting better and better. I just need to keep it up.

Cheers!!!

Auto Expo 2006!!!

This is a very old blog article which i had accidently placed on an alternate blog. Anyways i am reposting it just for my future reference.


Hello Friends!! Recently i visited the Auto Expo 2006 at Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai. Well the exhibition was a disappointment. I mean there were many cars kept on display. And the display included one of the best names in the business too. But there was hardly any information about them. The Lamborghini was kept atleast a couple of yards away from the viewing area. The Mercedes and the Ferrari were kept in the same circle. Although the issue is not how the cars were displayed and whether they were being allowed to be touched or not, the issue is that there was simply no proper information. Very few cars like the modified Honda City by the great DC had a volunteer to tell you about the car, or the Skoda Station Wagon was explained. Also Mahindra Scorpio was being explained. Looks like the big guns like Audi, Range Rover, etc seemed very confident that people knew their cars well. Well if thats the scenario, then i can't blame them. But frankly the best part of the exhibition for me was to get a 1:18 replica of the rare Toyota Celica GT-S for myself. Had been dying to get my hands on one of those for long.

Life till now!!!

Life has been a mystic sand. Yes sand as you say, "The more you try to grab it in your hands, the more it gets out!!" I recently was under the impression that not only good projects but even transfer would be an easy venture if i want so. But life is not that easy. Well not only project work but even transfer is very difficult to think of. It seems evident to me that i am still here in Kolkata for a good deal of 10 more months. And just the thought of it makes me a bit scared. I do want success in life. I do want to grow up in the organisation. But..

It all comes down to the number of people i can influence in my project, in my company. I have started working on something new. Something which i think will get me to the top of atleast this organisation very soon. But i dont know how effective this would be. I am ready to work my gutts out if i have to. And i will because i know this will be a necessity. But the question is will all this pain be worth it in the end. I dont know. I really dont know. My health is not supporting me to grow. Neither is my surrounding. I feel as a loner once again in my life.

I know i have fought and overcome this deal before, and that too with great and wonderful surprises before. I just hoped that this would never come back. But it has.

I dont want to give up now. And i will not. Not till my last breath.

Lord Almighty, please give me strength!!

I hope i can achieve the unimaginable very soon, so that i can change not just my life but also the lives of the people who have placed theor trust on me today.

Amen.

Work for Life!!!

I know it may sound very weird, but it is true. It is work for life. I believe it is my life to work to success. Success has to be with me, because at this very time, I need it. I desperately need it. I need to become as successful as I can and that too fast, very very fast. I want to give my future all the happiness in this world. And i will do it. Damn it, I will do it.

"If death strikes before i prove my blood,
I swear,
I will kill DEATH!!!"

Work done!!!

Well finally my role in my module is done. I have completed all the goals of development with testing and it has also been reviewed by the authority. And i have not just completed them, but i have done them 6 days ahead of schedule. A full week before the system is gonna go live. Wow its a great feeling. And the feeling is more great because all the hard work and late nights in the office for the past 3 weeks have finally paid off very nicely.

During the entire project i got to learn many many new things. Many simple and many complicated things came in the way which i am quite accustomed with now. I feel more confident in my approach now. And i feel quite responsible also now.

Well i hope that this is a good sign. But since the module has ended i have been told that i am gonna be placed into another module which is also not gonna last very long. Maximum for a month or so. So probably after that i will be placed into another module. It seems that these things will keep going on and on till atleast December when my project itself ends and i am incorporated into another project which my team is gonna be merged with. Lets hope that i get some really cool opportunities till then. And my role becomes more and more prominent. Because sooner or later, i will have to start creating my mark. And whenever i do that, i will have to do it hard. Otherwise its gonna be difficult to make a place in the top positions.

Cheers!!!

Hey Life I love you a lot!!!

Hey Friends, Well life has been grateful to me. I was very upset when i was sent to Kolkata, as i had heard that there was absolutely no work here. But atleast till now, God seems to have blessed me with some really decent and good work. And not only work mind you, but also a very healthy environment. I have a fantastic TL who looses his cool very fast over other people, but has been very kind to me, mostly because he knows that i am a fresher and i will not be knowing much. But he is a great man. The amount of knowledge and fun this person has is worth marvelling. The efforts which he takes in his projects is too great. I have been learning a lot recently because of him. And although other people fear him a lot, i have been trying to stay as close to him as possible. Dont wanna miss even a single chance for growth.

Well for the rest life is absolutely cool. It was just yesterday when i saw "Shootout at Lokhandwaala". Well i have only one word for it. "Fattttte" the movie is absolutely cool. Really fun to watch with guy friends. Gaali waali mast di hai. But i guess thats a cool nature of every movie now. Sanju baba is acting very well in the movie.

Anyways friends this is all which is going on at present. Keep cool. Keep healthy.

Take care!!!!

Its cool work!!!!

Hi Friends, I am back. Well finally i am getting some useful work from today. It seems pretty interesting and i have a wonderful guide. My TL seems absolutely cool. He knows exactly what to do when. Well actually thats the reason he is the TL. But he seems very very informative. Till now the work which i was doind was seemin to be very childish. But this now seems fun. The fun of making a mistake which would in turn lead to a chain of serious troubles for absolutely everyone. While explaining the work the TL showed good trust towards me. Lets hope for the best. I hope i can grow in my work soon.

I wanna tell something about my work also. Today i was given a very complicated graph to work and understand. Although i am still unable to figure out what each component in the graph is all about. My TL says that at present i just need to focus on only 2 or 3 components at a time. Because that is where all my work lies. And to be careful not to goof up those components in any form. Well verbal deadlines are also given. I hope i can understand and make sense out of my work more nicely. Things are very very much complicated. I was warned today by my TL that there is gonna be lots of politics around. But i have to stay put and stay firm on my work. I need to concentrate on the work which i am doing.

At present i am least bothered about the politics going on around me. Although i will keep an eye open for problems, at present i just want to concentrate on my work. The sooner i understand things, the sooner i can make my mark. And the sooner i can go up the ladder.

As always once again i ask the Almighty Lord to help me in this time. Give me strength to work with my heart and with my brains all open. So that i can kick some serious BUTT!!!!

Shifted for good!!!

Hi friends, Well something strange has happened today. I was sitting in my cubicle just checking mails when suddenly i was called upon by the PL. I thought that maybe it was because i didnt report to him that day. Just kept low and came to him searching for a good reason to tell him as to why i didnt report to him that day. But this was not that small. When i met him he told me that i need to shift from my nice cosy cubicle to a cubicle which is exactly in front of him on his floor. The exact place where even if i stretch my finger he'll be the first one to know. Anyways i am brought down because it seems that i have some work and i need to prepare and get ready for the project fast. As i need to get into some development work. So atleast not everything is bad!!!!
