Tour De SDM !!!

Hi Bloggers,

This pooja holidays was so special to me…Not only to me to all my friends…We “tHe DiSpO Boyz” – Vel, Vijay, Alagu & Renga went to Mysore to meet Mayoor…This is my second trip to Karnataka…Really it was a very good enjoyment to all of us.

Stupendous “SDM” !!!

We stayed in SDM hostel in Mayoor’s room for about 3 days its quite funny & enjoyed a lot. Roaming around the college buildings, In-door Stadium and Canteen…One of the best college I have ever visited…Very good infra-structure, fantastic classrooms with hi-tech facilities. A typical Business School infra structure…

SDM Business School is located near to Chamundi Hills its so pleasure to study in such a beautiful place with pleasant climate. Those three days where sounds like a heaven for me. Thoroughly I have enjoyed a lot staying there…Mayoor is blessed to do Master’s in that college… He introduced some of them “Dilip, Ganesh…” all of them really kind to us.

Garba & Dandiya

In SDM the students celebrated the Dasara festival on 27.Sep.09, as we were there at that time we had a chance to saw that function. They decorated ligths all around the basketball ground. After the ‘Aarati’ they started the ‘Garba’ a kind of dance in India to celebrate Navarathri function. After the ‘Garba’ dance, they started ‘Dandiya’ a kind of dance with a stick in one hand. Dance by the SDM’ities where ‘ awesome’ and ‘rocking’. I enjoyed like anything, because I haven’t seen any “Dandiya” dance in live before. Both boys and girls danced really well… They didn’t have any difference they enjoyed and danced with total enthusiasm. To be frank SDM boys & girls are rocking !!!

It was such marvelous dance show by SDM’ities..Thank U SDM’ities for your wonderful show.

Mayoor -> My Pal!!!

He is my dearest pal where I don’t have any thing to hide from him…Such a kinda of guy in our group…I have wrote about him already in my previous blogs…He is very talented, typical Managerial person with unique characteristics in-built in his motor…We are planning to go for a another get together in near future. But I know for sure it will take another one year…Any way those 3 days were one of the happiest moments in life without thinking about anything…we enjoyed 3 days at SDM…There is no need to thank Mayoor for anything he has done…Because he is our Pal he has to do. But Cheers Mayoor!! We miss U here!! Any way there is no other way we have to get back to our work…

Hopefully waiting for the next get together meet!!!!

Project Closure & Dinner !!

Hi Bloggers,

That’s the end of my second SAP HR project on mid of Aug’09. I am quite happy with my performance but still I need to improve a lot in my skills. I have learnt a lot functionally as well as technically so many things from this project. I am so grateful to my company who trusted me to do this work. I hope I have done a nice job, in this project. It was a final day for my team mate on 19′Aug’09 where we had a nice session without client team members. Here I have to mention about them for sure, because without their contribution and guidance the project seems to be very tough.

Our client team members (George, Abdul and Kenny) are very kind and ready to help us by all means related to work. By god’s grace we got a nice Project Manager from their side. All the objects went go live and that too with very minimal issues. Our team is so happy with our job done. Finally it’s time for us to leave from here; we had a lunch together in a dining hall. I was so happy to have a lunch with all of them including our Project manager. It’s been a great fun at that lunch.

Before that day we (our team) went to a dinner with our CEO to Chillis Restaurant. We had a few discussions there, which are the first dinner I have with my CEO as a lone team. I got lot of information from my CEO. It’s was a nice and knowledgeable time.

I have started my purchase and started packing all my things to get back to my home land next week. I wish I will return back to this place Saudi for few more projects. I am so gratified to Saudi, My first onsite, I have learnt and earn so many things here. I got my certification also from here. So it’s been a one of the unforgettable place for me in my life time. Thank you…Saudi Arabia..

I aM cErTiFieD !!

Dear Bloggers,

On 06-Aug-2009, I got cleared my certification in SAP ABAP. This August has been a wonderful month for me in 2009. The certification test was quite easy but pretty tough. Also, I got the hard copy of the certificate from SAP. My current project is also in closure phase. The next operation ahead for me is learning WD4A. Now all you people can call me as a Certified SAP ABAP consultant…

The certification preparation was bit long for about one and half months I had to sit and study to complete the whole set of given course materials. Any way at last it paid a lot for me. I have to concentrate more on my soft skills from now. Need to improve so many skills in near future to become a recognized consultant.

“The Hangover” – Last week I saw a movie named ‘The Hangover” one of craziest movie I ever seen. It is such a nice movie about four freaky friends in Las Vegas for a Bachelor Party. The director has done a well-done job from his part. The actors are also done their part very well. One of the best entertainment movie to watch out for.

What do you feel when you get your first onsite travel ?

Dear bloggers,

It has been a long gap for me without blogs. I wanna tell you something…Guess What ? ? Right ! I got my first onsite oppurtunity for a new Project in Saudi Arabia. I was quite amazed when I got that offer from my boss. It’s was a great feeling you can’t express those in words such a great inner feelings. Any way its not a big achievement to discuss about. But I felt so blissful at that time that I achieved something which I want to strike.

Onsite Trip !!!

I boarded my first flight in my life on 18.Dec.2008 from Chennai to Bahrain it was GulfAir Airways.Quite bewildered by the way the process going in Airport. Then I was panicked when I landed in Bahrain because I miss the transit flight from Bahrain to Dammam. I did’t aware of the facilities in Bahrain at that time then I enquired the GulfAir assistance about the flight details. They boarded me in a star hotel for the whole day with free breakfast and Lunch. It was great to be in Bahrain for a full day. But I don’t aware of the facilities and options available in Bahrain to enjoy. I wasted the whole day being in room and roamed around the places near by.

When I got landed in Dammam I didn’t feel the cool initially in Airport, It was winter at that time in Saudi. The temperature was around 4-5 Deg.C. That was the first time in my life  I enjoyed such a cool climate. It was good and enjoyed a lot at that time. I enjoyed completely being in Saudi for the next 4 months.  Project was also going fine we have some group of people in Compound as I know most of them its pretty easy for me to adopt in that new place. We got a super brother ‘Ashraf’ who prepares food for all us on that 4 months. I was 62 Kgs when I landed in Saudi and when I am returning back after 4 months I am just 70 Kgs. Babbrae !!!!!!

I went to nearby beach namely Half-Moon beach with Alfy na family, Raj’s & Goks. We have a nice time there by driving baggy bikes and played some sprints in beach. We have a team called H5 guys Abi ana, Sridhar (Sleep), Dhina na and Welling(HR Certified Cons.). We usually hang around some shopping malls and baggy bike rides in Half Moon Beach. That’s the only leisure you can find here. Together I enjoyed my first onsite trip and I am back for my second trip some weeks before but this time I was so confident and enjoyed the Journey. This time I got an opportunity to visit Abu-Dhabi for transit. Still many more things are left any way will cover all these in the next blog.

Dear bloggers,

In this blog I am going to tell about Chennai and life @ Chennai. As most of them know Chennai is largest city in south India and also capital city of Tamil Nadu. Chennai is considered to be a city of paradise for all those searching for a job in any fields. I came to Chennai when I was studying 5th that was my first visit to Chennai. Then again I reached Chennai last year for an interview in a software company named l-Cube. These are the two visit before my career life starts in Chennai.

I got a job in Kaar Technologies based on Chennai through campus placements. I had already discussed all those stories in my previous blogs. When I landed in Chennai at 01.July.2007 along with my father at Central Railyway station. Then we take a lodge near T-Nagar bus stand. It was my first day in Chennai as a professional. On that day I met with an accident and got some injuries around my knee. It was not that much serious but it hurts a lot sentimentally for me. But I have to take that in right spirit. For the first 3 months I struggled so much in Chennai. To be frank I dont like this city Chennai at its most.

But down the days while I am working I am pretty comfortable with this Chennai. May be because I got a new family here and several friends here in my office. All they where kind and good hearted easy to move and adopt I already wrote about them too.

Now let me talk about Chennai brief there are several places to visit in Chennai. Especially is Chennai is more famous for its Idly, Dosa’s and Sambar vada’s. Several shopping malls like Spencer Plaza, Chennai Citi Centre, Shoppers Stop ,Abirami Mega Mall and Mayajaal Complex. Chennai’s Filter coffee, Mount Road, Ritchie Street, Parrys Corner and Central station will be considered as more special things in Chennai for local people.

Spencer and Citi Centre are considered to be the hot destinations for youngsters to relax their time. Spencer Mall is a good place to shop for all level people. Both the average and high society people are the important customers of Spencer. But Citi Centre is considered to be some what costliest place to park our car. Any way we can see all kinds of people there. Thats the special of Chennai. Several cine halls such as Sathyam Complex, Inox, Mayajaal Complex, Ega and Udhayam complexes are famous cine complex in Chennai.

I got a special line about Chennai for all of you..i.e “Vanthorai Valavaikum Chennai” thats the special about Chennai. World second largest beach Marina beach extends for about 12 km it is a fine place to spend time with friends and also with family. There are lot of small shops “Chilli Bajji” is more famous in Marina. Several statues such as Mahatma Gandhi, Kanaki, Thiruvalluvar, Anna, Dr. M.G.R and also veteran Actor Sivaji are kept around several places in the Marina Beach. The Marina Beach is considered to be a important place to visit in Chennai. Along with Marina, Besant Nagar Beach, Thiruvanmiyur beaches are also considered to important beaches in Chennai.

There are lot of Temples in and around Chennai especially our area West Mambalam is famous for temples. Temples such as Vadapalani Murugan Temple in Vadapalani, Kapaleeshwar Temple, Santhome Church, Anjeneyar Temple, Astalakshmi Temple in Besant Nagar the list will go on and on.

T-Nagar Streets is famous for its crowded shopping. If you have guts to do bargaining you will surely love this place. Ranganathan street and Pondy Bazaar are also the important places to go in Chennai. Nice to visit all those places for shopping. Saravana Bavan Filter coffee, Murugan Idly’s and Ratna Cafe are hot tiffin destinations in Chennai. Several non-veg restaurants and veg restaurants also more famous in Chennai.

Chennai is also considered to the IT hub of India. Companies such as Kaar Technologies, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, IBM, L & T, HP, Verizon and Accenture are located in Chennai. Along with this several core companies such as Maruti Udyog, Hyundai, Ford, BMW, Renault Nissan and Hindustan Motors are in Chennai. Tidel Park and several corporate IT parks are located in Chennai.

Several engineering colleges and medical colleges are more famous in Chennai. The notable colleges are Madras Medical College, Stanley Medical College, MGR Medical Institute,IIT, IIM, IIPM, Anna University, SRM, Sathyabama University and Stella Marrys are in Chennai.

Chennai considered to be the most populous city in Tamil Nadu. Chennai has two International stadiums namely Nehru Football Stadium, Chepauk Cricket Stadium, Nungambakkam Tennis Stadium which is famous for ATP Chennai Open. Several sports recreation centers also there in Chennai. A motor race track is also in Chennai for track events.

Still several things are famous in Chennai which are listed as below : Traffic in Kathipara & T- Nagar , Pani Puri Shops, Burma Bazaar, Koyambedu Bus Stand, Book shops, Bridges ever in construction and sky rocketing prizes of Luxury and normal apartments.

Thats my blog about Chennai. It is nice chennai if we can able to manage the traffic and also able to pay high rental for home. Thats the pity thing in Chennai for a long time. If you have stuff you can easily manage and rock in Chennai. Thats the whole thing which I about Chennai.

Olympics ‘2008

Hi Bloggers,

I was just running around for the past one month so I am not able to find some time to blog. Finaly I got this evening with some time to blog about the Beijing Olympics-2008. Hope you all of them heard about the medals and records hold by the athletes this year. It was a great season for all the athletes. Some went out with happy faces and some went home with disappointments. In this blog I would like to address my favourites in this Olympics.

First thing I would like to give a great loud applause to our nation hero’s Gold Medalist “Abinav Bindra”, Bronze medalists Wrestler “Sushil Kumar” and Boxer “Vijender Kumar”. They fought till the end for our nation and made our nation proud in Olympics. This was the first time that India named in the gold medal list for an individual event. Altogether our boys bangs three medals for our nation. It was great proud for those boys and also to our nation.

Highlights of Beijing Olympics-2008

It was Micheal Phelps who bags 8 gold in his kitty at Beijing Olympics. He was named as the “Best ever Olympiad” and also “Best ever athlete of all time”. He won all the 8 events in which he qualified and this was the first time in world Olympic history a single athlete won all the 8 golds in Olympic.

Usain Bolt “The lightning”

He was named as the fastest man of the earth. Yet he nick named as “The lightening” He won three gold for Jamaica he proves himself in this Olympic that he was one of the greatest athlete as he set two new world records in 100 M and 200 M sprints. India will have to unearth several Bolts from our land.

Still some of the sets several records in the Beijing Olympics and the notable records are Russian Athlete “Yelena Isinbayeva” sets world record in Pole Vault. In soccer Argentina won the Olympic gold for the country. Another world record 100m Freestyle Eamon Sullivan (Australia), 100m Freestyle Alain Bernard (France), 100m Backstroke Kirsty Coventry (Zimbabwe), 200m Freestyle Federica Pellegrini (Italy) and 200m Breaststroke Rebecca Soni (United States). Still many records were recorded in this Olympics. Altogether it was an awesome event China perfectly handled the situations and it was a grand show by china.

My only flop of this Olympic is Federer…He is my hero but he fails to make his presence in Olympics but only consolation for him was doubles championship in Olympics for Swiz. Hope to get a great season ahead for federer.

It was mixed events in Olympics for each and every one of the athletes around the world. Hope to see a richer and grand olympics in London.

Saurav Ganguly ! !

Dear Bloggers,

Today I am going to blog about my Hero ‘Saurav Ganguly’ who was the former captain of Indian Cricket team. Ganguly was the best test captain in the Indian Cricket history. From my childhood days till now he is the one which I love most. I am a great fan of Dada. Most people in India cal him as Dada. In my childhood days we usually likes to watch the cricket matches as a group in hostel.

Most times he taken the match away from the opposition single handedly. Around 97-2001 once the sachin and saurav taken the match for Indians. The whole team reside mostly on both of them after some years ganguly accepted the captaincy of the Indian cricket team he make some youngsters into the team. Yuvraj and Kaif made their debut against England under the captaincy of Ganguly. He identified the real talents of these two which was a real and great boost to Indian team nowadays. Yuvraj is a great ODI and t-20 specialist where as Kaif failed at major break through but still have some hope to get into Test team.

I like ganguly because of his never give up mind set. He has been dropped for all the matches in 2004-2005 season and it was a testing period for him. But he never looks back he continuously tried his best and performed well in Local League. And get back into national team for the test team in South Africa where he smashed the highest run getter for India in that series and helped India to post a decent score.

After that he was recalled for the West Indies and Srilankan tour where he played well and won the man of the series award for his wonderful batting display against Lankans. After he was selected for the World cup in west indies where Indians where knocked out of the tournament in the first round it self. That was a great disappointment for all the Indian fans. But the real consolation is through out the series Ganguly alone played reasonably well among other players.

As a whole 2007 was a great come back year for Ganguly he smashed 1240 runs through out the year in ODI and 1104 runs in test matches. For that he won the ‘Asian Cricketer of the year-2007′ and ‘Asian Test batsmen of the year-2007′. He smashed 239 against Pakistan in Bangalore in first innings and scored 91 in second innings which India won the match. It was a breath taking innings from Dada.

But his hard work was not recognized for ODI matches he was dropped in the ODI squad because the current Indian Team ODI captain need young blood in the field and want to prepare a team for 2011 world cup. Any way Ganguly is not ready to give up his will he is always make up his mind to stay focused in positive attitude. Thats the whole thing I admired most about my Hero ‘Saurav Ganguly’ his attitude, positive thinking and above all never give up tendency.

Meravigliosa esperienza ! (Wonderful experience)

Dear Bloggers,

As a whole this month and last two weeks of the june 2008 was great for me. Chitra vel and me enjoyed a lot with our friends in Bangalore. On the first day when we landed in bangalore at 5 am in a bridge which I didn’t remember the place exactly now. It was so cool and there and we roamed around the streets of bangalore to knew where we want to want to go? At last we got a bus and got down at a market and searched for another bus there and went to Mayoor’s home.

It is an awesome city which is a well-planned city compared to Chennai. The climate is so good and amazing in Bangalore at any time. Alghu also came to Mayoor’s home. We went to a mess to had break fast and it was too good. We just starred near a park till 11 and moved to home. Got refreshed there and went to Forum Mall. There Mayoor booked tickets for Universal Hero’s ‘Dasaavatharam’. We altogether enjoyed a lot in PVR Classic it is one of the best theatre’s in Bangalore.

After the film we just enjoyed a lot in Forum Mall roaming around the shops in Forum. LandMark, pantaloons and some other shops where so good to watch out cool fig’s. We get together after a long time almost one year. It was a nice time for me with Vel, Mayoor,Alghu, Renga and Aswath in Bangalore. After that we went for shopping in MG Road it is one of the nice place to visit in Bangalore. So many things to buy and so many fig’s it is like T-Nagar Ranganathan Street. We had coffee and snack in a silver jubilee shop which was very famous around the nation.

After a long time I enjoyed a lot with my friends hanging around the streets of bangalore in MG Road and Brigade Road. On that day night we had a great time and enjoyed a lot in room and played some room cricket with in home. Enjoyed a lot till late night that is almost start of the morning and went to sleep. On the next day we wake up very late and got ready for the train. Rushed to railway station with urge and got the train at its wedge.

They drop us in Railway station and saw me and vel till the train departs and it was the time that i felt very sad on leaving them. Some of drop of water leaves my eyes with love. As i dont know what to do and at that time…

May god bless all my friends to get a life as expected by them…

Inflation in India !

Hi Bloggers,

Today I am going to do blog about the inflation rate which rose up highly in India at its peak. Inflation rate was 11.5 %  last day.  In India, wholesale-price inflation jumped to its highest level in 13 years in early June and is expected to move higher. May be the rise in oil prices around the world would cause such rise in wholesale-price. The govenrment of India led by congress party may face serious issues related to this problem i.e rise in inflation rate.

Analysts expect inflation to keep rising at least until the end of September because of high global and domestic oil prices. India’s government recently raised fuel prices by about 10% to ease the burden on government subsidies, which keep the fuel price artificially low — a policy move similar to China’s. Given the inflation pressures, many analysts predict the Reserve Bank of India may undertake further monetary tightening by raising short-term interest rates or the amount of cash banks must keep in reserve.

Recent rise in gas cylinder, Petrol/Diesel and other commercial items price made a severe impact to the middle class and poverty class people around the nation. It seems to be go high further and it was a serious issue to all the people in India for the next couple of months.

What we Indians need to do to curtail such rise in inflation? We have to use bi-cycles rather than using  motor cycles at its most. In India there are several million motor-cycles at present in use and India remains largest motor-cycle user in the world. We need to utilize bi-cycles for travelling shorter distance.Use government vehicles rather than using our own vehicles for longer distance. I am not suggesting not to use the motor-cycles or privately owned vehicles. I am just suggesting to use all those in a minimal way. In most of the European countries like Netherlands,Portugal,France and UK most of them using bi-cycles and at its rare they are using other vehicles.

May be it will reduce ourselves to spend much on oil and it will keep our environment clean to led a plenty and clean life. And its not going to happen very soon. It will take some time to reach people. Lets take some initiative to reduce the usage of oils(Petrol/Diesel). It will reduce the some percentage of rise in inflation rate in our country. We the people take the responsibility to control such inflation rate and make ourselves feel better at any situation. We need to take some drastic decision at this point of time. We need to wake up and make our nation proud.

Spare some time for your family !

Hi bloggers,

I have a nice story to share with you people in blog. It is a good one and I would like to share with you in blog too…

The story is about the conversation between the son and his dad in home. The conversation which is shown below…

A 5 year old son waiting in front of the door for his dad from office. Then his dad arrived from office very late with so much of tired and frustation because of the work load..

Dad : How long you has been standing like this?

Son : Just for the past one hour dad..

Dad : How many times I informed you that after finishing your home work and dinner go to your bed early?

Son : Dad but I am waiting for arrival that’s why?

Dad : Hmm…..

Son : Dad ! May I ask you one question..

Dad : Yeah sure..what it is?

Son : How much do you get paid for one hour?

Dad : Replied in anger “That’s none of your business. Why you asked this question?

Son : I just want to know..Tell me dad…

Dad : If you must know …I make Rs.500 per hour…

Son : Oh…

(Asked with head down)

Son : May I please borrow Rs.300.

Dad : So you asked such questions to borrow the silly toys and non-sense things..isn’t it… just go back to your bed…

The boy quitely went back to his room and laid down in his bed. After an hour the man calmed down and reached his son.

Dad : Are you asleep my son?

Son : No dad.

Dad : I have been thinking too hard may be I was too hard on you… It was a long day for me and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the Rs.300 you asked for.

Son : Thank you dad..

Then he take some crumbled money beneath his pillow..

On seeing this his dad again gets angry.

Dad : You already got enough money then why you have asked again ?

Son : “Daddy ! I have Rs.500 now..Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come to home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

Moral : Its just a short reminder to all of us who are working so hard in life…We have to spent some time to some ones who really matter to us… those close to our hearts….

In the modern era of IT world…we left our family and stayed in a unknown place….we should think our family members also…And we have to spare some time for them in all our busy schedules..Those who left the native place and works in a city have to visit their home atleast once in a month…Spent some valuable time with their parents and brothers..

In this world we have so many places to joy but none of them equals to their own home…All of them know that their home land is their heaven.I have felt that feelings once I got landed in my native town once for a month from my working place.My inner breeze makes me feel better & I feel much better than before i was..I think most of them should feel this…

Have a nice time..
