A Different Prespective



For last two weeks I am coming to office at 5.30 AM. Yes 5.30 AM. No, I am not working in night shift or any shift. Its just that my company needs me to come at this time for some days to attend some meetings. Initially I was freaked, when I was asked to come office at 5.30. I was like, are you OK man? But then, I agreed unwillingly. If I have to attend meeting at 5.30, I have to get up at 4.15 AM, max 4.30 AM, duff  WTF. And worst part, its not just me, even my wife have to get up too. I need to get lunch outside for all these days. And, it is not that I can sleep early at night thanks to my kids. So I end up having less sleep. Well I am not writing this post to put up my complaints..ok let me share bright side of it too.

Thanks to all these meetings, I am learning lot in totally new domain/area. I am getting huge knowledge and at the same time I am becoming a unique person who hold knowledge in two or more domains. So my value as a professional is increasing, globally. I am getting to know many different people on the earth. Now I have even more friends right from Australia to Canada and in many countries in between. Isn't it great? I am getting up early and hitting the road when it is dark, I can see a different world altogether, a night world. And to my surprise there are sizeable amount of people, cars, trucks on the road. Well this is India, over one billion people, our country never sleeps. :( But good news is I have very less traffic to deal with. I can reach office in less than 15 minutes. And I am alone in the office, apart from Security. Well I am the king. I can sit anywhere and attend the meetings. No bookings are required. Cool right. I don't even have to put on head phone. I can listen with speakers. One more good thing...I can go back home pretty early. Again less traffic while returning. I get some free time in the evening for workouts. See? its not all about negatives, there are positive sides too.

This will end in next few days, and I will continue with my regular schedule. But I realized that just by changing a small thing (parameter in "Technical" language) in life how much change in our life can be brought. So, we should keep changing few things regularly in life and see how it goes. Who knows our life may get much simpler, than it is now. If not, at least we can get different experience in life which can keep us away from bore routine. I hope, I will be able to do some more tweaking of some other parameters. I assure you guys it will give you a different Perspective, a different experience. Life is all about experience, isn't it?

Three things I Like About Chennai

I am living in Chennai for about six months now and I was thinking what are the good thing I like about Chennai. Few things quickly popped in my mind. I am mentioning them here.  I. People are sincere about their work I will call Chennaikars to people of Chennai, who are living in Chennai irrespective of their age, gender, native place, language etc. I feel Chennaikars are much sincere about their work. It doesn’t matter what work they do. May it be engineers, doctors, any other workers. It can be observed easily when we go to any shop, tea stall, hotel etc. Just to give example, I happened to go to two different doctors few months back.  At the first doctor's place we paid consultation fees, after consultation doctor found that there is nothing wrong. So he asked reception to return money. This was new experience to me. At other time, at other doctor’s place, when doctor found patient is not cured by his medicine, he gave free consultation and medicines next t...

Reaching Stockholm

Wow  this year I am already starting for another country after Perth. In Europe after three years...to Stockholm Sweden. I hope everything will be great at work and other. Good news is I don't have to start from Mumbai. I can take flight to Stockholm from Pune via Delhi. I recently heard that Pune airport stands at 9th rank in service. Well I like the service. People/staff was helpful. All sign boards were at place. Good job Pune. Delhi airport I must say is great. It is neat and clean. It is huge. It looks like airport of India's capital.  I have seen some airports in the world and in India and I can say this is one of the best airports. Our flight took path over Pakistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Estonia and so on. We always hear about Afghanistan many news. While I was in school I learnt about Afghanistan how it has difficult terrain with just mountains. I was able to witness it this time. For many hundreds of kilometers I was just able to see dry Rocky ...

Weekend at Pondicherry

Few days ago I went to Pondicherry or Puducherry with family. It was French colony before Independence. Pondicherry is at about 160 kms from Chennai. It is favorite trip destination for various reasons. There are some beautiful beaches, rocky beaches. You can buy any brand of bear, whiskey, vodka etc. at cheaper rates. In Chennai you won't get all brands as it's restricted by state government. So many people go for enjoying hard drinks. Pondicherry still have French flavor in its life. The old buildings have French architectural touch. Policeman caps resembles that with French police. Even some Church resemble with saint Notre Dame at Paris. I stayed at Green Palace hotel. It was really great place to stay. They have studied French hotels very well. I received all the services that I use to get in Paris. Resemblance is astonishing. At approximately 2kms from hotel there is a very good Rock beach. The place is great. There is a road parallel to the beach where you can ta...
