Paris Again








Well, I am writing after long time. Lot has happened in between. I was quite busy in work. I was busy in building and setting my team. I was busy in preparing my travel documents. I travelled to Paris again. Again for two months. So I hope to write posts on my trip here.

I was in Paris three months before. When I was in India, there were few attacks in Paris and France. So how is Paris after that? Have things changed in between? I am not sure. At first look everything appears same as before. But, now I see a Police van outside the famous news channel. A heavily equipped police guard is standing 24 / 7 outside news agencies door near my hotel. But, people of Paris appears same to me. Same smiling, cooperating people to each other. I hear same Bonjour, Merci, Pardon sound whenever I am travelling or at office, or shop, or hotel. Even though I feel little more concerned now while visiting places. May be its unnecessary fear, but its there.

Weather here is changing everyday. Sometime its cloudy and it becomes sunny one hour after. Its unpredictable. Now, day is getting longer. It is bright even at 7.30PM. Daytime will increase even more in coming two months. Though day is longer, still its cold. I came from Chennai. When I was in Chennai, temperature there was 35 deg C. It was very hot. So it is taking some time for me to adjust these huge change in temperature. Same thing is going to happen when I will return.

I hope to find some time to share my experience on this blog. :)

Reality of Real Estate in India

Now days I do not happen to read news paper daily. Sometimes on weekends I get chance to read news papers. But, one thing I have noticed that first page or cover page, a page above front page which is full of property advertisement is reaching each home everyday. They have 1 BHK, 2BHK, 3BHK flats, row houses, farm houses, farm lands, and NA plots advertisement. Now days customers have hundreds of options. They have various budgets from so called cheap flats to luxurious flats with high budgets. They provide so many amenities. It’s a matter of research how many amenities are really needed and are used. They are present just as status symbols. People are paying so much money extra for these unused facilities.  I want to put my views here about whole real estate industry in India. Home is COSTLY (?) In India all businesses, industries, jobs are concentrated to few particular cities. I feel this is done deliberately to force people to stay, gather at one place. It is wel...

Holika Dhahan

There is March already, we have some festival coming in next few days. Today here at Maharastra we celebrate a festival "Holika". And tomorrow it is Festival of Holi (Festival of colors). Although Holi is becoming very popular festival internationally and many people visit India just to enjoy holi, this post is not about Holi but its about Holika. Note the difference in the name. I feel that all Indian festivals are designed so that people in society should gather and mix up with each other.  Good news is its holiday tomorrow and its a long weekend. After long time I will be celebrating Holika. It is very interesting festival. Like all other Hindu festivals, it is about victory of good over bad. This time it is about victory of good within over the evil within us. On internet there are many stories how Holika started and so I will not discuss it here. Indians believe that fire is pure. It burns evil and what remains is pure. Anything that survives fire is pure. W...

Walkathon

Recently there was a two month long event happened in my workplace. Two month is too big for an event but it was great. It was a competition of walking or Walkathon. So?  what is great about walkathon?  It's common now a days and happens everywhere. Well, but it happened in my company, it was two months long and it was executed with help of digital technology (supporting Digital India Drive 😀) and most importantly I participated in it 😋 and no...I did not win :( but I participated and walked 5.5 Lacs steps, around 335 Kilometers. This may not be accurate, but even with 10% error, it will be 300 Kms. Wow. Winners completed around 15 Lacs steps and 900 Kms. It was organized by my company in cooperation with another fitness club. We used google fit for measuring steps. And one another application for teams formation, and statistics. Here is it how it happened... All the employees of the company were divided in 12 groups, one Capton was selected for each team. And competiti...
