Back to Chennai

Last week I came back to Chennai,the place where I first experienced the life of a software engineer way back in 2004.From here life has taken me to many places Trivandrum(8months),Cochin(6months),Bangalore,(6months) and finally again in cochin for an year and quater.

But the start to Chennai life was little unexpected as the climate,location changes didnt suit me and I was down with viral fever for 3 days.Reason I told my friend was in cochin I breathed oxygen and here my poor lungs has to cope up with smoke and dust :)

The first place I visited in Chennai was 35th Chennai book fair,went there on maatu pongal day,good to see a huge crowd but my lungs cried again due to suffocation andI had to abandon the visit in an hour and quickly turn back home.I would have hardly visited ten to twent stalls out of the six hundred.

Hope I would soon get used to this crowd and traffic jam!!!

three years in Cochin

Its been more than three years in Cochin,its been a wonderful experience indeed.Lots of new friends made,many trips(in fact I had more trips in the last few years than in the childhood).
Things I liked here
1)Greenery everywhere
2)monsoon rain
3)banana chips
4)choclate cake @ tea pot
5)drive to fort kochi via kundanur bridge
6)Cheap movie tickets
7)palada pradhamam
8)Availability of train tickets even a day before the journey
9)my easy chair which I got here(I couldnt find a replica anywhere)
10)boat ride in the back waters.

Yea there are lots more to add up,but apart from all these its people with whom you are with makes your day happy or otherwise! I feel lucky to get lots of friends here!!

Its time for resolutions

With 2009 around the corner,its time for me to take few new year resolutions :)
1) Get up early in the morning(time not yet decided but it will be earlier than 9am which is my current raising time)
2)Reduce weight(let me put 5 kgs,I know its easier said than done)
3)Devote some more quality time for reading books(shd be quality books)
4)plans for future(MBA???)
5)Last but not the least continue blogging :)

Last day in my team!

For the past three years of my professional life I have been worked with three different teams.Tomorrow is my last day in my current team.
Moving out of a team will always have its own emotions,there will be people who care for you,people adore you,people depend on you.Its a difficult situation to say goodbye.But life has to move on there is one thing in this world which is permanent and that is change.
I have been in this team for the past 20 months ,what I learnt is some techie stuff but what I cherished was the relations I developed. I had trained 4 people in the team and many times I would have thought or introspected myself whether am I guiding them properly.I felt satisfied when each of the them requested me to think twice before leaving the team and how will they miss me.
Yea I too will miss my team!
Keeping my fingers crosses what next!!!

Wonderful match indeed!

Last two days of Chennai test was absolutely mind blowing. Chasing a mamoth total of 386 our team got there with ease! Good start by Sehwag followed by brilliant innings by Sachin and Yuvaraj won the game for our country!
Kudos to our Indian Team!
