Thanks mayank to bring my site back to life (though the site was down because of him only). There is so much happened in last 15 days. a) I have an fantabulous offsite @ riverside resort , Karjat near Mumbai (Amazing place , will upload pics soon) b) India lost the test to Srilanka c) Olympics kicked off in China on 08.08.08 and icing on the cake being India winning first individual gold @ olympics (Abhinav Bindra made us all proud by winning a gold)
Me , my family & life
few family moments and my take on life
Where have I Been ???
No where , I was very much around but again busy with some upgradation and imrovement work on Makaan.com. I have been hearing and experiencing much about web 2.0 and the rub of effect was evident to come on Makaan.com So Makaan.com member backend is now been changed and made more action oriented and user focused. We have tried to reduce the umber of clicks to do activities and all the relevant information is available upfront to the user. Action buttons are more prominent and sytem prompt the user about possible actions intelligently. There are many more changes to come...
Long time no see
Last few days were quite busy. So I didn’t get time to write but so much so has happenedd during this time. Phasing out of the Killer blue lines (As if the evil lies in the buses and not the one who drives them), Sacking of KPS Gill (Better late than Never) , Harbhajan slapping Sreesanth (Gentemen’s game @ its best) , Sealing activity begins and what not… But its not that nothing good had happened ISRO has made India proud by launching 10 satellites in orbit creating a new record, RBI is considering on guidlines to enable mobiles...
Examination Results
I came across an interesting mailer from naukri.com in my inbox and it brings back memories of yesteryears examination results. March-April has always been the most tense months throughtout life. Since my earliest memories these months will mean loads of tension and sleepless nights. All the hard work & efforts are put on test and then begins the wait for the results…. This agonising wait keep haunting year after year during these months. Earlier it was examination results and now its the annual appraisals. But the most talked about thing remains the same ”Percentage”. How much did you get this year....
One Night @ terminal
My fascination for the city Kolkata ended as soon as I found myself struck in an unusual Traffic jam to airport. A normal route of 30 min took me close to two hours. And for the first time in my life I missed the flight. Now that’s a bizarre feeling of helplessness. It took me another 30 mins to convince the duty manager that in all my good intention I never wanted to miss the flight. Fortunately I managed a ticket in the first flight out which was next day morning @ 7:00 AM So I was there at...
The City of Joy – Kolkata
I clicked this on my way to Kolkata office. The city seems to be slow and peaceful and very different from the fast paced Delhi. I am here for two days and both have packed schedule of training and evaluating few options for Property show in Kolkata. Let’s see if I can visit few places and if possible ride tram.
Food @ 29000 ft
After a usual delay of 2 hours I took off to Kolkata (City of Joy). By now you would have realized how much I hate air travel. This time I am traveling Jet Air, which is one of the finest airlines. Thanks to web check in facility, I managed a first row seat in economy class (Advantage to spread your legs and relax a bit). So I felt like being from upper middle class where all the middle class cramped in their seats. And like all upper middle class who are aspirant to become upper class (Business Class...
