It just seems like a month ago when I was sitting in The Park..No its not ‘A’ park, its the restaurant in MG road where I had my orientation program for Nokia Siemens Networks.
After that its been 2 yrs of fun filled work full of AGILE, Java, Scrum,
Coffee-Breaks-on-the-steps, the-roadside-12Rs-veg-sandwich,
the-2Rs-groundnuts-as-incentives as well..
Not that we just did that @ NSN. It was a fairly challenging work on “Optimizer”. It even involved a demo project of Scrabble along with my buddy Jayesh(who’s quite a JAVA Guru BTW). It was quite a bit of fun.
Sometimes you just dono what interests you and what will work out for you. Coming from a totally different background of Electrical engineering, Telecom + Software domain made me realize that I was indeed interested in this.
There were quite a few of peers around who helped me learn new things, adapt and enjoy my work as well.
However now its time for me to say a tata for NSN and I will defintely miss the group the PJ’s, the insanely hysteric laughter, the wiki excerpts when u least expect, the SMD,SKD phrases, the “cheap” coffee breaks which made work here something which you could actually like.
Well like they say the importance of good cannot be known if there’s no bad!!
So amongst the crappy politics, ugly, and unfair instances and opportunities there are few things and people, that do stand out shining and like always they are the good things..

I’m currently travelling 22 kms one way which makes it approximately a 50 kms each day to the office. However i am grateful that my office is not in the same route as the most of the other offices which would take around 3 hrs to travel the same distance. Everyday when i travel i see hundreds of cars, of almost all types,Ford, Maruthi, BMW etc; zooming past me at a speed which would put quite many of the lousy slow drivers to shame. HOwever there is one similarity between all the drivers irrespective of whether they are slow or fast; whether they are driving a BMW or some old junk metal with 4 wheels or the infamous three wheeler(autos).
EVERYBODY HONK!! Honk like crazy!!
And they do that as if its one of their squeezes.
You are standin in a traffic signal waiting for it to turn green and the moment the signal is green they honk..Hello ppl..Its not as if anyone would actually WANT to be stuck over there..Come on for god’s sake..Stop the damn noise..
I’m sure most of the ppl wouldve face the same situation daily. And today morning it was the same routine where ppl were honking..but today it turned out that on the recieving end was a person who was driving the car with a big ‘L’ board on it(lets call him L-guy) and it was one of his driving classes from a driving school.
The honking continued for about 15 seconds continously and finally the L-guy rounded up his wits and was able to pull away his car from the path of the honk guy.
Naturally its frustrating that this foolish honk guy dint even realize that the L-guy was a person who was learning the car and instead of having a tiny bit of patience started intimidating him by honking.
But if you are a pessimist and most importantly not at the recieving end of the honk(as i was right then), there is another side to it which you could appreciate.
Its because of asses like these honk guys out there that ppl learn driving much better than they would without these guys. Kinda like a blessing in disguise !!
If everything were perfect then driving would also just be suited to “perfect” conditions only.
Many guys who are used to driving in the US when they come down to India opt out from driving.And the reason is that they’re not used to such haphazard traffic.
However if an Indian who knows to drive well here will pretty much be able to drive seamlessly anywhere else.
So maybe we should thank these asses because of whom we learn to drive well then intended.
Thanks to all the asses out there..Keep honking !! 😉

Its been such a long time since I visited my own blog page..Feels like aeons have passed since I wrote my first post thinkin it would be cool to have a blog 🙂 Later realized I dont have the patience to keep updating it as most of them do and thats why Twitter was invented for ppl like us who wants to share stuff fastly and without too much emphasis on grammar or trying to wonder who would give a damn about what someone has to say.. Most of the blogs are unread anyways 😉 No offense to the ppl whose blogs are wildly popular.. Cheers guys..That apart, I was wondering what all I was writing about.. There are a lot of things which ppl write about..their experiences with things, movies, other ppl, trips anything which can vary from the most abstract of things to the most mundane.
Somehow after a time the stuff which u have written u’d read them back and wonder either what a fool, or what an idealist or what a dreamer you were.. Happy endings could be temporary or Sad beginnings can turn out to be extremely brilliant in the end 🙂
So thats when I decided and took off a few posts thinking maybe things change and so does posts as well..But then I realized its not that way. Maybe the things which you did, the person u were, the ppl u met, the trips u went, or the movies u watched, everything did indeed had a purpose and it shaped you to be the person who you are today.
Wel thats what I think atleast 🙂 So i thought its time to put back all posts however big or boring they were cuz everything did indeed influence me in one or the other way. 🙂
