This has caught my attention very easily... from my office blog to newspapers, everywhere there s info tat an indian origin has won d nobel prize and lots of fuss has been made.... and now look at wat now stands.. d person himself says tat he s Indian by accident.. wat a statement... v r a nation of multiple religions..but still everyone of us feel proud to be an Indian no matter wat difficulties v face here... so can anyone from india can even give a statement like this..i dont think so!!!! wid due respect, he knows many things in science... but wid my small knowledge in science i believe there s something called genes which also significantly contributes to wat we are.. so he should never forget tat his roots were here in india and his ancestors were indians including his parents.... i m really saddened to see such a statement from a educated person.. he may have mastered chemistry... but unfortunately he failed in being a good human... he cant b so dismissive...ya v were wrong in tryin to b proud of his accomplishment as it US and UK which gave everything... after all d mails u got r wishes and congrats..and they expected nothing back... y was he so miffed at it... from our side v should learn to understand wat really belongs to us and wat belongs to others... instead of being proud of someone who regrets born in india, y cant v appreciate work done by a common man... irrespective of how small they may but if helps a fellow human being its worth appreciating... hope v learn somesort of lesson from this very famous Indian Origin boost....
I had my schoolin in a rural area... and when i came to chennai for d 1st time in 2000, believe me my english s too bad..couidnt able to speak even a single sentence correctly. a guy comin from village to a city...and now 9 years hence when i look back, i can say tat my english now s pretty good and my writing skills too have improved tat i am bloggin and writing poems too... so where did it all start... its very simple.. reading...d best way to start enjoying english.... believe me it helps u for sure... readin novels, newspapers and magazines helps u a lot... improves ur vocabulary and ur confidence level too.. when ur language s good, believe me it helps u to project urself in d best possible way... in this competetive world, d defining factor may b ur communication skill... my first novel s a nancy drew series and today i can read any stuffs in english and interpret in d best way.. not only me but i have seen many ppl who flourish once they add d communication skills to their already bag full skills.. Now a days Reading sense has gone down too... i really have no idea, how this skill which s so important and can b a life turner to many like me, s gonna reach far and wide across younger generation..There should be some sort of awareness among today's parents about d significance of learning.. Reading s a blessing through which u can see beyond reality and go into a world of imagination(Just like Harry Potter)...
Wow... Austerity.... D Word which s spoken in every news channel... i am a good follower of indian politics in d sense i know how and wat r bein done... This drama s going for d last 10 days(hope i am not wrong)... and does it make sense... ask this to a common literate.. he will make fun of it... how long r these politicians gonna do these silly kinda things and make it as if it s an achievement... Austerity--- simplicity... which of these politicians lead a simple life... Hype s created abt Rahul travelling by train... but his visit to our state costs crores... where s austerity there??? y creatin politics out of everything.. its india's sin tat tax payer money goes to d pockets of d so called austere politicians...was watching NDTV's vikrmchandra's Big fight regarding these... quite a good one... and d ruling party representative defends as if it s a big big policy which s gonna help india go to d top economically.. from my opinion this austerity drive sux!!!! sux completely... and then shashi tharoor... man o man he just said d best comparison possible and its quite a common term... but d rulin party thoght he made a sin and started jabbin him for no reason.. hey learn up ppl...u ppl doent know humour r not... and tat s not all.. when these ppl travel by business r take a private jet, d effect on common man s so minimal.. but in d name of austerity if they r travellin wid common ppl, it makes us go through hell in d name of security arrangements.. did v ask these ppl to travel wid us.. if u r travellin wid us, make sure tat v r not at d receiving end of these discomforts....as an indian i feel disheartened when i look into these sort of unwanted useless issues r hyped... look at d development side... wid d resources we have got we can develop in d best way possible.. d markets seems to b stabilizing....
953231000000(Source:NDTV)... this s d total budget amount...out of this how much reaches d common ppl... none knows... from politician to every person who s in d hierarchy gets a part of it.. and wat d common man gets.. nothing but disappointment... d ruling party doesnt care abt how far this huge sum s used up... but they start a crap for a 0.1 percent of this....dont follow austerity for name sake and bother d common man... v r least bothered abt how d politicians travel...and wat car they use as far as they do half of their work efficiently.... its high time educated ppl like us take up d mantle and step towards development...
Yet another hue cry as if d sky has fallen on us!!!! oops... it s just another actor who was made to through security check at d airport!! wats d big deal man in this!!! does d law needs to mend its way for a superstar!!! it was a standard procedure tat they follow and it s same for all!!! Last time around it s our own honourable Kalam!!!! D kinda person he s, he never made this an issue.. but others around him wanna play politics in this too!!!! This time around just listen to wat a central minister says... she speaks as if US has started a War against us!!! wat s there to pay back!!! even after mumbai attacks our security was beefed up for a month r two!!! after tat it was back to square one!!!! but atleast d US was not doing d same mistake!!!! none s above law!!!!only in india things like reservations, special concessions and all stuffs which dont contribute anything to our development s followed.. here if u rich, u can play d game ur way!!!! if u r poor, u will have to play others game knowing tat u will lose bcoz u r not giving a shot at it!!! this has to stop. v need to stop over reacting to things which dont need tat much attentions.. instead v need our attention towards basic amenities and other things which pave way for a better future and a better place to grow along!!!
Here I go.. took 2 days 4 me come to terms wid it.. still not out of it.. but I luv writing. So I thought this will relieve some stress… 10th aug… just another Monday(I thought).. usual Monday morning blues… went to passport office thinking tat good things lay ahead for me nu.. everythin went good… d CSP was as always fantabulous.. wid ramas at his usual best… and late in d evening myself sharu and kash was discussing abt how v r gonna read 4 PEGA certification.. BTW v received a mail from our DH to be available for whole of tmrw… at abt 7, without havin any clue abt what s in store 4 us, I went and asked ramas, how abt studying PEGA together..he s someone who wanna always learn new things.. his reply was surprisingly subdued.. I thought he was held up wid some other stuff… then casually I asked abt tat mail from DH… he said its better tat u know it tmrw.. but as always ramas knows me better and one more time I asked, he said the words which I hope I don’t hear it any more in my life.. but thank god it came from d person I adore d most… all he said s there s bad news waitng 4 us.. and tat s d news of lay off of 120 odd freshers who r non billable… not a good thing to hear by any means how good ur attitude may be… and I went back and as always conveyed it back to my best buddy sharu!!!ya she took it well!!!! After all she has gone through d worst believe me!!!! There end 10th aug…. professional point of view.. personally it was emotional… don’t wanna go any further…
D BIG DAY------BLACK DAY Started from home at abt 8… knowin tat it s gonna b a day to forget… my mom still believing tat some miracle will save me nu!!!! Btw couldn’t control tears.. cried all d way from my home till office!!! Damn it tat 1 hr long journey seam to take entire life time… there I go inside the office,, thank god my access card worked.. I went inside.. sharu as usual was smiling big and asked me to punch in.. I was on to it in a flash since I know its gonna be my last day!!!but all laughed around me… oops then I realized tat v weren’t allowed to… even d slightest hope faded and there I faced reality!!!! I made all d packing… my cubicle mate meena(a studious gal) asked my mobile for callin her hostel.. and good god she bcame emotional and tat s enough for my tears to start d reservoir.. btw it never dried… and then my dear sis at office nivi came… I would have been happier if atleast my sis was retained!!!! in another half an hour d process started.. in my words it’s a funeral for a living one… yup.. tat s how it feels… honestly.. meena, rajiv, ram…. And it continued… and myself and sharu had a bet abt who will b called 1st… fun in sorrow!!! THEN CAME RAMAS, SURESH, PRADEEP, ASHOK AND ALL OUR FAMILY MEMBERS.. ALL R PRESENT FOR D FUNERAL OF 14 LIVING ONES..!!!believe me I am proud tat I worked under these ppl… they r not d usual seniopr ppl… I never felt it tat way during my tenure in AIGSS… I donk know whether I will work for these ppl but if tat comes true I will b d happiest…then myself and sharu decided to meet our big boss!!!! Ashish Johari…. Both of us have a huge amount of admiration and respect for him.. no flatteries.. not at this stage I believe… and knowin him, it was no surprise tat he was down and out… he gave us d best words possible and it was a gr8 comfort when ur boss says tat ur work is xcellent.. he never ever says things just for comfort… and tat compliement from d boss always helps in d sense atleast tat ur work is appreciated and it was a confident booster in d sense tat u can learn new things and shine in it.. then v thanked him for taking us into BPM CoE… Believe me if its not for ashish, v would have never bcome d members of this beautiful family. and sharu won… she went 1st!!!! anyways I followed within 10 min.. there s no big difference…this I need to explain in very detail.. not many gets an experience in this regards… a senior escorting a junior.. heard of it.. ya if tat happens then prob it s lay off I believe..it was a chain. From one person to another d escort changed… and then I was told to sit…I don’t know her name but believe me tat wat she s doing is d last thing she wanna do it in her life.. her face showed it all!!! She asked me wat I learnt… I said wat ever tat came to my mind and btw my fluency was good considering wat I am goin through.. then I was asked to go inside a room.. I went inside wid a smile,, after all u cant cry over there.. inside there were 2 ppl. One d person who recruited me and gave me d offer letter during my final year at coll.. d other was a DH.. very senior person. They were sayin how difficult it s for them nu.. ya I can understand tat!!and without knowing how, I spoke as if nothing has happened and more importantly with lots of positive attitude.. may b God has done tat.. bcoz believe me I was cryin very very badly inside!!!! Then wid a pat on my back from the senior person I was escorted into another room!!! There were HR ppl there!!! And I don’t know I am sayin this… they asked me to right my resignation letter!!!! For me it was as if I was asked to perform d ancient ritual sati!!!! This job s something tat I cherished,,, I luved d challenges and d environment as such… but no other go.. I wrote and signed it!!!!then they gave a hefty compensation(Considering d Company’s financial crisis).. ya I took it.. after all its money alright!!!!and finally handed over my access and ID card… its painful when something u feel proud abt is taken from u forcefully… Then I went back to say goodbye to ashish!!!! Believe me one moment I will cherish 4ever s awaiting me. I went inside his room and told him “Ashish everything s over!!! Deal and Done”.. He got up from his seat and hugged me!!! Oops.. he never saw d tears in my eyes I hope… then d final mournin!!! Escorted back to my floor!!! Thanked my tech lead pradeep!!! He has been a gr8 mentor to me… and ananth.. his eyes were full of tears and I just said bye.. one more min there I would have broken down there once and for all!!!went to everyone’s place and one final adieu to them.. d escort was still waiting… took my bag went to ground floor where other were waiting!!!! Then a top level person came and spoke to us…. Ya we know tat all r feelin bad but d reality s they have a job and v don’t!!! there ended my short(yes) but sweetest and happiest tenure at AIGSS.. yes I am laid off… but still I will say I worked for of d best employers and d best of best ppl inside it.. when d company s gonna b taken over completely, there s very few tat our company can do!!! All along I never said abt a person who was feelin as bad as we were!! Believe it was my PM Nagi!!! Ever since he came to office on tat day, from his face I can say like everyone else he s going through hell as well… a person with such vast xperience s feelin like tat s not something u see often!!! On my final day it was only 3 hrs in d office… Ramas, suresh and both rajesh were there to bid adieu… I have never seen ramas tat subdued from d 1st day I met him.. suresh was a huge comfort on tat day!!! Full 3 hrs there were words of comfort were coming from him…all my family members were devasted tat day!!! It s true and genuine!!!! now u should have an idea abt d ppl I worked under!!!! Ya 4 sure I will get a job else where, each of us will… God will never leave us like this!!!! But 1 thing 4 sure.. d company tat s takin over s gonna miss d best of talents tat my company(Even though it doesn’t exist this moment) had hand picked….(To B Continued)

Lots of expectations.... ended in ultimate disappointment!!!!
With the series victory in Newzealand, one more series win abroad.. But the larger picture is that the so called consistency has atlast caught up with indian cricket. This team is what may be termed as a champion side. Something that can match the australian side under waugh and the famed west indies side of 70's. And all the accolades are given to the captain and coach. They too have contributed to this emergence. that cant be denied. But there is someone else who is primarily responsible for what we call a champion side. That is none other than the Prince Of Kolkata-Sourav Ganguly. U can love him, U can loath him, but u can never ignore him. He redefined the way we Indians used to play. He built the team which is winning wherever it goes now.. He groomed the player who are now genuine match winners. But the irony is for someone who has contributed hugely to indian cricket, we have not given him back what he deserves..i.e. Respect... Dhoni may become the best captain of indian based on stat. but he can never be DADA.. Special thanks to Krish Srikanth for having given DADA the exit he deserves..This post is my Tribute to u My Prince... U will be loved.. There are lakhs like me.... V will be there 4 u always....
Reservations.... In our country wherever you go, you are bound to hear this word.. But the last place we expect reservations is in education that too not based on economic status but rather on Caste basis... I dont know what good this is gonna create or in what this is gonna contribute to our nation's growth. Probably this is lead to the reverse. Merit has to be acknowledged and has to be given what it deserves.. In the name of reservation, i dont wanna see the bright brains of the country to be drained to other countries. Reservation based on economic status can be welcomed but not on the basis of caste. And the irony is, instead of implementing this at the grass root level to start of with, they have straightly reached the top.. IIM's and IIT's.. I pity that decision not only bcause personally i will be affected but also bcause its not going to do any good... But one thing is for sure.. the more v the forward caste are suppressed, the more higher we will go... And its gonna widen the gap further... Hope the reservation in this form is taken back.. May be they plan out on how reservation and based on what criteria it is gonna be implemented rather than doing for vote bank politics..
