Today my home is bustling with a lot of excitement and noises. The occasion is Ugadi. Though I am still not sure about the significance of this Kannadiga festival but today we are enjoying the holiday to the fullest. As usual the entire gang is here: Ujjwal, Neo, Sameer, Priyanka and me. We are celebrating the day with cooking, I mean cooking in the real sense. The plan was charted out yesterday

This post might seem a little outdated or irrelevant as it is coming after two weeks' time lag. I could not help, I was intoxicated, it was Holi after all.We had no plans to celebrate it, as I had lost interest in celebrating Holi for past few years. Then my roomie told me that some DA-IICTians were gathering at Desi's place. So we reached there and in no time many more DA-IICTians started

Like every year the whole world is busy in taking stock of it's activities in the past fiscal year, which ended in March. Managers(at least some of them) are busy in number crunching and setting guidelines for the coming year. I also wanted to do such kind of activity for me. I completed three quarters in the industry and here is the budget(or summary) for that period.Total time spent - 9

It seems no different this time also, third time in a row, year after year. I am making the same mistake once more and even after knowing this I feel helpless. The previous two times when I attempted the CAT, I focused mainly on English. During past two and half years I have improved a lot but it seems like never ending journey for me. I am so obsessed with improving my English that I neglected

Though in my tenure in the organization so far, I have seen many people leaving and joining the organization at various levels, it was only yesterday that it really hurt or surprised me. The reason was departure of one of our most loved team members. She was good in every respect be it technical stuff or be it lively non technical discussions. She was a great source of inspiration especially for

After joining MindTree in July campus batch we underwent two months long rigorous training. No doubt the training provided immense learning opportunities both in technical and non-technical field, various other activities that are being held in the organization time to time also provide us opportunities to learn and also have fun. Many MindTree minds are contributing in some or the other

There were roars all over the country before the Union Budget that govt. must do something to pacify the grief of farmers and here we have Mr. Finance Minister playing a Santa Claus for them. Waiving Agri-loans of worth INR 60,000 Crs($15 B) and giving relief to some 4 Cr farmers all over the country. There is no doubt that this is going to improve their condition at least for the time being or

Today I added one more name to my dossier of readings. The name is 'The Alchemist', one of my long pending readings. I can somewhat appreciate the work of celebrated author Paulo Coelho, though at many places it was intolerably fictitious and full of fantasy(To be honest, I skipped some paragraphs!!).The novel is written on the lines same as other works by the author and some other Best Selling

I have always appreciated the importance of DESIGN and pay attention to the design aspects in my surrounding. Always I find some good and not so good things about these but I got an altogether new idea of design after finishing a book on design titled “design” authored by ‘tom peters’ borrowed from MindTree library. The author has discussed the importance of design in the corporate

In the past one year or so, all of a sudden a new business came into the picture: The tower business. Though towers are there for years but they were never looked upon as a source of income by the companies. In past few years number of towers in India has increased many folds and in the next few years it is expected to increase similarly. What is this buzz all about? All the mobile

There is a lot of action on the all the fronts in emerging economies including India as well. ‘India Shining’, ‘India Rising’ and ‘Incredible India’ have become buzz words now. A lot is being written and discussed about the business confidence level of India Inc, about its M&A drives, India’s growth, clash of The Elephant and The Dragon etc etc. Legendary professor and management guru C.K.

After two weeks of wait at last yesterday was the day. I became witness of one more mind blowing(litterally) flick from the stable of SRK and team. In a series SRK has been able to repeat his ultra performance. After my most favorite Kaal(yes, wohi 'kaal kaal me hum tum karen dhamal') and Main Hoon Na this was time of OSO - Om Shanti Om.I was supposed to enjoy the movie as SRK was there and it

Hello Team, I am the newest or perhapes the youngest member in the team. I joined a couple of week back. As you must be knowing I was on-bench before I got inducted into LSD. When I was there I used to felt so ashamed of myself, frusted and breathless I started considering myself useless I was the only RDS C++ team member left without any project and a sitting place. I was so eager to work, to

Nothing more can be there for cricketers and fans as well. India is going to dive in the deep ocean of Cricketting 'Spirit'. Everything that can happen to cricket is happening now. Be it disasterous exit from the World Cup, murder of woolmer, Shoaib beating his fellow teammate, Afridi and Gambhir whispering 'melodious jingles' in each other's ears which any lip-reader can understand, Crickters

finally I got a sitting place(this time no shitting) and was assigned to a project in Symantec account which is the largest account in Mindtree, but to my great satisfaction there is not much work in that project as the project is being phased out by the client gradually. Mainly maintenance kind of job. Team is nice, they interacted with me nicely. Today one of the team members came back from a

I started smoking last year when i was strolling with Shiv outside my campus(DA-IICT). The fatso who was supposed to be a regular smoker was not able to light a cigrette. I helped him and then it started. After coming to Bangalore it has become a regular thing for me. The main reason being my lonliness and the other thing is eagerness to try something new. Earlier it was once a day, then became
