What's the world coming to?

War in Sri Lanka.. Self-immolation in Chennai!! Advocates behaving immorally.. Students forced out of college!!
Battles in Gaza.. People getting killed! Israel reacting.. hamas re-reacting!!
Moral policing in Mangalore!! Ram Sena activists arrested.. And get out on bail!! Seems like drinking & dancing is decent for guys.. And indecent for gals! Ultimately, guys want to say what gals should be doing!! Back to Medieval Age...
Still stuck with my old laptop in which the key 'h' won't work!!

Why are we hearing so many negative news all around? Isn't there anything positive happening out there?

Movie Review: Deception




4:30 PM: OMG! There's work pending to be finished. No probs, we'll finish it quickly and rush to the theater. We'll still be able to catch the 3D movie.

5:00 PM: Oh, still more work to finish. Now we've to really scramble to complete this stuff and leave.

5:15 PM:
Ah, you mail the reports while I call him to say we've completed it.

5:30 PM: Let's leave quickly. I'll go with A first and book the tickets and you come. We'll still make the show!

6:45 PM: Shucks man! 3 movie sold out. Now what to do. Oh, the counter waala is saying tickets are available for "Deception". And it released today only. Let's go see it. Atleast we'll be satisfied to watch a movie on its first day!

7:00 PM: Yeah! We made it on time. Now, sit back and enjoy...

8:00 PM: (interval) hmm.. Looks like it is A's story :D. Somehow I think this is like "Fight Club". Let's see.

8:45 PM: (movie over) #(*$%!@*&%. Absolute waste. We could have as well stayed back at office and worked for some more time... :P

All about nothing

"Blog! What's that? I don't have anything to do with this!"
I have been in this state of denial about my own blog for such a long time that I've almost forgot its existence. 8 productive hours going in front of computer, another 4 hours going for personal satisfaction (what with wi-fi installed) and on mails, feeds and messengers I still didn't want to go anywhere near the place known as Blogger.
Sheer laziness!

TVM and After

After a drab two months the day finally came when I had to leave for Trivandrum. June 11 - yet another time I had to pack my bags, yet another time I was leaving home. But this time around I was very indifferent to the things that lay ahead of me. I had a few plans in mind, a vague idea of where I want to be in a few years from now. Apart from this, it was all very blank.

The training acted as an excellent platform to touch base with peers who were joining with me and the top level management who gave many insightful views on how Information Technology and the Services domain is shaping up. The batch as a whole had lots of fun. Out bound learning with National Adventure Foundation (NAF) gave the official flavour to it. We made good use of the free time to visit Kovalam, Kanyakumari, Alleppy and Trivandrum City. We also caught up with Dasavatharam movie in Trivandrum just a few days after its release - this proved to be quite an experience especially for people who were not used to seeing such huge crowds thronging the theatres to catch a glimpse of their favourite actor.

The whole time had its big share of happiness and a short but significant share of sadness. End of the day, I personally feel that whatever we end up doing in our profession is all a part of the bigger plan that is beyond our control, beyond our realm of logical thought process. This means "give your best so that you'll be able to get an idea of the bigger plan some day in the future".

Personal thoughts apart, I find myself in an excellent position to enjoy the responsibilities, get an entirely different perspective about an entity for which I have infinite respect and admiration and be a part of the march towards success.

I haven't yet thought fully about the future of this blog. My vision is to make this blog as an enabler for my work. But this doesn't mean personal stuff will be shown the door. It's just that its share will come down. My next post will be on Consulting - My Initial Opinion.

Finally, some pics...
