Bay Decoration at CTS

2008-05-30T09:48:00.000-07:00

The mail with subject Let's Paint Cognizant in our TriColor!!! popped up...and our team started the planning...It was a mail from HR, announcing the bay decoration and team dress code competition...as 15th August itself was holiday the competition was on 14th August....

As per our plan...we reached our desks wearing Green...initially we had not any plan for bay decoration...but after experiencing enthusiasm among various project teams...some sort of energy and spirit ran through our bodies...

We divided our team and divided the work...One group went out to bring decorative articles...one group was alloted Googling...

After having all the things in place...we started the work...I took the printouts of images and data gathered by Googlers...Ami, Asavari and other girls prepared wall papers with nice sketches...Pankaj, Vaibhav, Prasanna and Rahul decorated our bay with ballons...ribbons...Tricolors...and paper wind mills...also wall papers prepared by girls had also been pasted on the walls of cubicles...

Each of the wallpaper was singing about Growth...Achievements...Accomplishments...National heroes...that we have gained after Independence...

Icing on a cake were tricolored broaches having 3M logo at the center prepared by us...

So all set...Judges on their way...visiting each team...observing minutely...

After 2 days...that is on 16th...results were out by mail...

Congratulations to all our Participants..!!!
Amazing Enthusiasm and Team Spirit...!!!!!
The Winning Team in ICC for the Bay decoration is 3M People Soft and for the dress code is BRINKER (Both 8th Floor)

Trip to Narayanpur...

2008-05-27T09:04:00.000-07:00

I was counting down my last days at Pune...because I had resigned my lucrative job of software engineer...and headed towards my personal goal of doing something of my own...

I don't remember the exact date...it must be a weekend...we had planned a trip to Lonawla and Khandala...don't bother about the heading of this post...we had just planned about Lonawla-Khandala...my We includes...Myself...Hrishikesh...Sagar and Abhishek...I don't remember the reason behind Santosh's absence...

As per our preplanned modus-operandi...Hrishi gave us wake up call early morning at 5...but he also informed us about heavy raining at his place...Hrishi used reside at his maternal uncle's house at ...our plan was totally in mess...

After all those were my last days at Pune...finally we decided to visit Narayanpur post lunch...we Four left around 3 on 2 bikes...

Narayanpur is 45 kms from Pune, off Pune-Satara road...we took newly built 4-lane Super highway...we had digicam with us so kept capturing roadside lush green nature.....

Its me clad in raincoat...you can see lush green hillocks and tunnail gate at tha back...

We reached Narayanpur...here Venkateshwara Hatcheries (VH Group) has built a beautiful replica of Tirupati Balaji Temple...We took Darshana of Lord Venkateshwara Balaji...and enjoyed Prashad of mouth watering pure ghee Laddus...

Laughter is the Best Medicine!!!

You must be wondering what we guys are doing? Actually...there was a group of 30-35 middle aged people...they gathered to have a snap...photographer seemed to be very jolly...he held camera with one hand...raised his other hand in air...and said...Hasaa (Laugh)...once he said Hasa...the whole group did HaHaHa...basically we were mimicking them...not to make fun out of them...but to treasure it as a sweet memory....

Some of the snaps that we had taken on our return journey....

Enjoying the water flow across the farm...

Thodi masti...Thodi shararat...

Again it started raining heavily...we had to reach Pune before Sunset...we kept driving through rain.........

Vow! Award!

2008-03-27T08:38:00.000-07:00

I was staring at my computer screen...my fingures running smoothly on my
keyboard...I was working on an emergency CQ...CQ means ClearQuest...it was
a third party system used by 3M (our project client) employees to log bugs...
we used to call these bugs as CQs...

Jabse CQ Team me aaye the...CQs hi humari zindagi the...uthate...baithte...sote
...jaagte CQ hi dimag me rahte...kabhi kabhi to mujhe sapne me bhi CQs ke numbers
hi dikhai dete the...Sach me...

I was busy in my work...and Ami patted gently on my sholder, saying...Amol...hum log ko
award mil raha hai...?

What...? I thought Ami ka kuch item hai...or its her sarcastic way of coneying
any brickbat...

I was not at all ready to believe this...but that was true...Vaibhav had
told her regarding this...and Vaibhav got this news from Shraddha (our PL)...Vaibhav ne mujhe bataya ke abhi hume award mila nahi hai...we just have been nominated for that...

Finally...the mail popped...Manlog Award Distribution Function...on 12th July...venue ICC's Sumant Moolgawkar Auditorium...

The Golden Day arrived...we reached the venue...auditorium was half occupied...we took seats...people were coming...after sometime chief guest came...Vice President of ManLog was the guest of honour...

The ceremony started...VP delivered a presentation showing progress and future plans of ManLog vertical...after the presentation...it was a time for award distribution...

For each award...there were several nominations...We had been nominated for Warriors of Time Award...speaker announced the nominations...after that...

And the Winner is...3M PeopleSoft Team...May I request Vaibhav Belgamwar, Ami Patel, Amol Agrawal and Neha Sultan to come on stage and collect the award....

Yo!!!! Our hard work, devotion and sincere efforts brought the award to us...humari mehnat rang layi...our joy knew no bounds...pura ke pura auditorium taaliyon se gunj raha tha....

Have a look at the Golden Certificate...

Kuch aur award diye gaye...Vote of Thanks hua...ceremony ke khatm hote hi...hum phir se pahuche apne apne desk...jaha par ek aur CQ humara intezaar kar raha tha......

Dad, how many Girl Friends did you have?

2008-02-19T02:18:00.001-08:00

Boriyat ya susti se chhutkara pane ke liye aksar mai NDA Road ka sahara liya karta hoon…The road full of LiFE….full of Energy…full of Beauty…aur na jaane kya kya…

Agar aap kisi shaam iss road se gujare ho to aap samajh hi chuke hoge…….

Aur jab bhi mai uss Bhuttewali ko Sweet Corn ke bhutte bhunte dekhta hoon…to mujhse raha hi nahi jaata…Temptation pe kaabu paana maine to kabhi sikha hi nahi….

Shaniwar ka din tha…maine ek Bhutta liya aur jaa baitha pass me bani Puliya pe…

Ye road Chandni Chowk se NDA (National Defense Academy) ki or jaata hai…shaam ke samay kaafi log Evening Walk karte nazar aate hai…

Ek couple…jo apni Chalisi paar kar chuka tha…apni beti ke saath Evening walk ke liye nikla tha….(ye sab andazza maine unka aapsi samanjasya aur unka pehrav dekh ke lagaya hai)…..

Wo Tino aaye aur mere pass ussi Puliya par baith gaye…wo apne wartalap me mashgul the…achanak uss ladki ne uss aadmi se puchha….

“Dad, how many Girl Friends did you have…?”

Iss sawal se ek baat confirm hui…ke wo ladki unki beti hi hai….lekin sawal se uss aadmi se jyada bada shock to mujhe laga tha…ladki ne to sidhe Bouncer hi feka tha…..

“7-8 Astil…”(7-8 rahi hogi) Uncleji ne Marathi me jawab diya…Shayad unhone socha ho English me puchhe gaye sawal ka jawab agar Marathi me du to aage aur sawal puchhe na jaye…

Itna to achchha tha ke Ladki ki Mataji apne Cell pe busy thi…wo kuch Gujarathi me batiya rahi thi…wo in sab baton se bekhabar thi……matlab Uncleji ka Love Marriage hi tha….

Issi bich ladki ne ek In-Swinger dala….lekin iss baar Marathi me….

“Tyapaiki kiti janinna tumhi Driving shikawili…?”(unmese kitno ko aapne driving sikayi?)

Jeevan ki Muskan

2008-02-19T02:10:00.000-08:00

Ek.......

Dopahar ka samay tha…Mai aur mera dost Alok…hamesha ki tarah Katraj ke uss PMT bus stop per baithe the jaha hum hamesha baitha karte hai…wah bus stop Main Road se kuch ekadh km ki duri par hai….Kuch ikka-dukka buses hi waha aaya karti hai….

Hum log humare wartalap me mashgul the…humare saath hi uss stop pe ek 50-55 varsh umra ki Mahila bhi baithi thi…wo shayad kisi bus ka intezaar kar rahi thi…thode-thode antaral ke baad wo humse samay puchh rahi thi…bus ka namonishaan na tha……

Kaafi samay tak baithne ke baad mai nikalne jaa raha tha…Tabhi mujhe unhone pukara…
“Beta, mujhe main road ke stop tak chhod doge jara….?”

Chunki…mai uss taraf hi jaa raha tha…maine kaha…
“Ha ha…kyon nahi…Chaliye…..”

Jaise hi hum main road pahuche…Unhone mere chehre pe se haath phera...thik ussi tarah…jaise mere Dadiji mere chehre se pherte hai…aur kaha….

“Bhagwan tumhara bhala kare! Tum bahut tarakki karoge, Beta!”

Itna bada Ashirwaad…Apanatwa…Pyaar aur Ashish se bhara hua Sparsh……….Aur kya chahiye…???

Aise wakaye kaafi hai…Jeevan ko rangin banane me……

Phir….apne chehre pe Jeet ki Muskan liye mai chal diya apni manzil ki or………

Do.......

3M Team se jab bhi koi Onsite jaa raha hota hai…to wo puri team ko party deta hai…Sanjeev aur Vineet ka onsite jaana tay hua…aur Rajwada me ek Shaandar party ka aayojan kiya gaya….

Rajwada….Baner me sthit hai…hum…Mai aur Pritesh, mere collegue…Pashan circle se hote hue Kothrud Depot laut rahe the…Meri ghadi raat ke 11:30 baja rahi thi...Bawdhan ke pass aakar bike band ho gayi…bahut koshish ki lekin shuru na hone par humne tanki check ki…to pata chala….petrol khatm ho chukka hai….Aaspass nazar daudai…ek board dikhai diya...”Petrol Pump 1 km ahead”…Bahut khushi hui…socha sirf 1 km ki to baat hai…bike dhakel lenge….hum nikal pade….139 kg weight wali bike dhakelna…baap re baap…kuch dur chalne par ek aur board dikhayi diya…”Petrol pump 0.4 km ahead”…socha……ab thodi dur ki hi baat hai…..

Hum logo ko aise bike ko dhakelte dekh…..ek White Maruti ZEN ruki……aur uss car me baithe yuvak ne humse puchha….”Kya hua?"

Pritesh ne usse isharo me hi samjhaya…”Petrol khatm ho gaya hai”

Uss yuvak ne car ki dikki se ek can nikali aur mujhse kaha…” Tanki Kholo. Kaha tak jaan hai…?”

“Thodi duri par hi Petrol pump hai…bas wahi tak...aap petrol rahne dijiye…” Maine jawaab diya…Kisi Anjaan vyakti se petrol lene me mujhe sankoch ho raha tha...Aur Petrol Pump pass me hi tha...

“Le lijiye…Petrol Pump koi itne pass me bhi nahi hai…” wo bola...

Akhir mai bhi to ek insaan hi hoon…maine tanki kholi…usne usme Petrol udela…aur wo jaane laga…

Mere mooh se bas ye chaar hi shabd nikale….”Thank you very much!”

Phir hum log bike pe sawar hokar nikal pade…Petrol Pump ki or…ussi Petrol Pump ki or jo wahase sirf 0.4 km tha…waha pahuche…aur dekha….na to waha koi aadmi tha…na Petrol Pump….ek bahut hi bada hording laga tha…jis par likha tha…”Very Soon in Your Service…”...

Phir hum log Chandni Chowk ke dono Petrol Pump gaye…dono bhi band the…yu to high-way wala Petrol Pump der raat tak khula hota hai…lekin……….

Nirasha ke saath hum apne ghar pahuche…apne dimag me wicharon ka sailab liye…apne jehan me kai sawaal liye…

Kaun tha wo yuvak…??? Humne bas 4 shabdo me usse dhanyavad diya…Agar wo na hota to…139 kg wali bhari bharkam bike hume 1-2 nahi balki pure 4 km dhakelni padti…0.6 km me hi to mera dum nikal gaya tha….

Uss carwale ka bhala ho!!!

Aise wakayo ke kaaran hi…to mann me jeet ka ek ehsaas jagta hai…ek vishwaas banta hai…hum zindagi ki ladai me jaroor jitenge…jaroor jitenge................

Alchemist

2008-02-19T02:09:00.000-08:00

Alchemist...a wonderful novel written in Lucid and Artistic English by Paulo Coelho...its a story of Santiago... a shepherd from Andalusia...his father wanted him to become a Priest...but he wanted to travel...so with 3 ancient Spanish Gold coins in his kitty he leaves his home...in search of his destiny...

The novel elaborates how Santiago pursues his DREAM!!! It teaches so many lessons to a Day Dreamer like me...

While going through the Fable...i came across some Powerful or Practical Sentences.......

When someone sees the same people everyday, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life....And they want the person to change...If someone is not what other's want them to be, the others become angry...Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her OWN!!!

Everyone believes the world's Greates lie...At a certain point in our lives...we lose control of whats happening to us and our lives become controlled by FATE!!!

Great TRUTH...Whoever you are or whatever it is that you do...when you really want something...its because that desire originated in the soul of the universe...Its your mission on EARTH!!!

When YOU want something...all the UNIVERSE conspires in helping you to achieve it...

I am like everyone else...I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen...not what actualy does...

All things are ONE!!!

Never stop DREAMING!!!

Making a decision is only the beginning of things...When someone makes a decision...he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the DECISION!!!

The closer one gets to realizing its DESTINY...the more that destiny becomes his true reason for being...

People need not fear the unknown...if they are capable of achieving what they need and want...

We are afraid of losing what we have...whether its our life or our posessions and property...But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the Same HAND!!!

To die tomorrow is no worse than dyeing on any other DAY!!!

One is loved because one is LOVED...No reason is needed for LOVING!!!

Fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself...No heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams...because every second of the search is a second's encounter with ETERNITY!!!

The darkest hour of night comes just before the DAWN!!!

When you possess Great treasures within you and try to tell others of them...seldom are you Believed...

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve...the Fear of FAILURE!!!

Well...here are some LONG SMSs......those I couldn't delete from my Cell's Archive Folder...

Sentimental

Mai lafzon me kuch bhi IZHAAR nahi karta...
Iska matlab ye nahi ki mai uss se PYAAR nahi karta...

Chahta hoon mai usse aaj bhi...
Par uski soch mein apna waqt barbaad nahi karta...

Tamasha na ban jaye ye MOHABBAT meri...
Isliye apne dard ko dikhaya nahi karta...

Jo kuch mila hai usi mein KHUSH hoon mai...
Uske liye KHUDA se taqrar nahi karta...

Par kuch to baat hai uski fitrat mein zalim...
Warna Usse chahne DIL baar-baar nahi karta...

Perfect LOVE

Perfect LOVE is not RECEIVING...
It is GIVING and FORGIVING...

Perfect LOVE is not RED ROSEs on Valentine's DAY...
It is rest of the 364 days of knowing 'U' LOVE someone...

Perfect LOVE is not phone calls and stolen KISSES...
It is the silent smiles in memory of your SWEET HEART...

Dard

Shararat na hoti...Shikayat na hoti...
Nayano me kisi ke najakat na hoti...

Na hoti bekrari...na hote hum tanha...
Jo jahan me kambakht ye MOHABBAT na hoti...

Na hote ye sapne...ye Khwabon ki duniya...
Kisi ko chahat ki tamanna na hoti...

Na julfon ki chhaya...na phulon ki khushboo...
Yaadon me unki ye raatein na katati...

Jo na hoti ye Mohabbat ye aansoo na hote...
DIL bhi na khota...aaj tanha na rota...

Majnu se apni ye halat na hoti...
Jo jahan me kambakht ye MOHABBAT na hoti...

Learning LESSONS

Five lessons to be learned from a HUMBLE PENCIL...
1. Everything you do, will always leave a MARK!!!
2. You can always correct the mistakes that you MAKE!!!
3. What is important is, What is inside you and not what is outside YOU!!!
4. In LiFE, you will undergo painful sharpenings which will make you
better in what you DO!!!
5. Lastly, to be the BEST you can be, you must allow yourself to be
guided by the hand that holds YOU!!!

Romance

Share a thought of LOVE with me...Dream a life of TOGETHER with me...Keep the TWINKLE in your eyes that made me mad...Keep away those TEARS that made me sad...Be my partner at the shores of Loneliness...Hold my hand during the journey of LiFE...With your hands together every sorrow we will survive...Hurt me, Tease me, make me cry...But in the end give me a shoulder on which i can rely...As a Friend let me SURVIVE!!!

Dreams

The permanent temptation of LiFE is to confuse dreams with REALITY...The permanent defeat of LiFE is to surrender dreams to REALITY!!!

Success

The road to success is not straight...There is a curve called Failure...A loop called Confusion...Speed bumps called Bad Friends...Red lights called Enemies...Caution lights called Family...You will have flats called Jobs...But, if you have a spare wheel called Determination...An engine called Perseverance...Insurance called Faith...A driver called GOD...you will make it to a place called SUCCESS!!!

Two BOXES

2008-02-19T02:05:00.000-08:00

That was a UNUSUAL day…unusual in the sense, my watch was showing Half past NiNE at night…and I was still in the office…CTS, #8A ICC, Senapati Bapat Road, Pune…

That was the first occasion for me to be in office that much late…there was a genuine reason for that…because it was CUT-OFF date for my dummy project in PeopleSoft…

Finally, having finished up with all of my work…I came out of my CUBICLE cursing the life of a software engineer…Remember, that was my first dummy project!…Subsequently, I came out of my Office…and pressed DOWN BUTTON of the LIFT…

Making me wait for sometime the lift arrived …and slid its doors out to take me inside…LIFT…a 3x4 feet BOX...

As soon as entered inside…

“Which floor?” That was the lift-person asking me where would I like to go.

“Ground floor, please.” I said and…took a look at him.

He was not that USUAL lift-boy…he was a lift-man…

“When do you come?”, I asked.

“At Eight”, he answered. The expressions on his face were indicating that some thinking process is going inside his brain. He might be wondering that why I am asking him all this.

“And when do you go?”…my second question.

“At 8 in the morning.” This time he seemed quiet.

“12 hours shift!!!”

“Yes” , he smiled.

Meanwhile, ground floor had come…and again lift slid its doors out…this time to allow me to go out…

I smiled at him and came out…I did not have anything to say…because my mind was busy in performing UNUSUAL task on that UNUSUAL day…It had started comparison between the TWO BOXES…

First one was LIFT…and second one was 5x5 feet BOX…called as CUBICLE by software engineers…

One has its own roof…other does not have…One has door…second does not have…One is CLOSED…other is OPEN…One has its own Speed and Momentum…while other does not have…People working in first one are known as liftmen…and those in second one are known as Software Engineers…But both of them only press buttons/keys through out their working hours…Liftmen work for TWELVE hours…Engineers for NiNE…Liftmen have stools to sit…Engineers have Comfortable Executive Chairs…

Finally…I arrived at a conclusion that Engineers live a better life than Liftmen…that made me happy for a moment…but at the next moment a thought came…what about the life of LIFTMEN…???

I did not have any answer and still do not have any…I stepped into the PMT going towards Katraj…and said “One Chaitanyanagar please” to conductor.
