Lifetime Achievement Award

Today I completed 4 Years in Satyam ... officially !!
 
I got associated with Satyam earlier than my official joining date for my Winter Internship of about 3.5 months ...
 
So I have completed more than 4.24 years or 1560 days in Satyam ...
 
I wondering.... If I stay in here for another year ... someone might even give me a 'life time achivement award' :D
 
Past 4 years ... Satyam has taken me to Swiss, Malaysis and now Dubai. Bangalore too :)
 
The first 2 years were good. very good. I learnt a lot from Muralidharan (my immedieate boss - Org Change Mgmt Head) and Milind Joshi and Sushil Rathi (Practice Heads of Process Consulting Practice). I would love to work with them again as and when the opportunity comes.
 
The last two years at Satyam were not so good. I have not been exactly satisfied. Infact a lot of rfrustration has been building up.
I am ready for a change. Provided some decently good opportunity comes by.
 
I got an opportunity to join IBM last year in Dec but the offer was not good enough.
I did not find it attractive and they did not budge. Infact i was told that if i am not able to join in Dec 2008 and would join only in 2009, they would have to revise the salary since I would be missing the appraisal cycle opf 2009. In January when I asked them for the revised Offer, they refused to do that too. So ultimately it didnt work out.
 
Post Jan-7th revvelation by Raju and the storm labeled as the 'Satyam Scam' ... a lot of my friends and colleagues told me that probably refusing IBM was a mistake. But, I was never convinced of that argument. First, I did not have any additional problems because of Raju. I got the salary on time and barring a few weeks financial hiccups, everything was being planned and carefully taken care of. There were some inconveniences, nut no major problems. Second, I still feel, IBM should have given me a better offer or at least been true to their own words. They went back on their own words and that was something i was not comfortable with (even post Jan-7)
 
So here I am ... in Satyam .. on a project in Dubai ... as a Org. Change Management Consultant . . . . Dunno for how long
often wondering ... Will someone really end up giving me a Life Time Achievement Award for 5 years in Satyam !!
 
Interesting !!

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
