அசதியில் நீ உறங்கினாய்
உன் குறட்டையும் எனக்கு சங்கீதமாய் ஒலித்ததே ..

A day @ offic!
Day starts with morning alarm @ 9AM, then with a boost (boost is the secret of my energy!!)..slowly will drag myself into office by 11. Mail checking, oops 1 hour gone.. Check all important sites, gmail, orkut, facebook etc.. Refresh, refersh , refresh until a new scraps comes in...If nothing works out, ping someone who is idle in gtalk!!
Time is 1PM, oh my god, have done lot of work..let me go for a lunch break..I sincerely follow the advice not to eat in a hurry..so i tell it to myself ..take your own time to eat..
Back to cube by 2pm..let me do some justice..will work for sometime...
3pm, time for a tea break..return to cube, attend some meetings (just a group discussion to decide nothing can be done, but optmistically trying to bring out, out of box solutions)...
Finaly, OMG so much work I have done..now time to rush to the cab!!
I can hear the mind voice of the reader now "company velangidum!!!"

Matinanda kaipulla...
As any other org, in mine too, for any fresher we have stuffs like mentoring, evaluations, reviews..blah blah blah..
Today i was introduced to a guy who is a fresher..we were three in the meeting room..me, my lead and the young clad..Question started with tell me about yourself, final year project etc etc..As any fresher, his talks was accompanied by constants sir's and madam's..My lead interupted, dont call me sir..Ours is a very friendly enviroment and has a open culture..(oh is it!!)..
There were series of questions, i was a silent spectator, thinking (kelvi kekardu easy, badila sollu thambi!! read it in Gilli style)..He was asked to complete his evals in stringent deadline of 3 weeks time..And a certification is must, else will not be let into project (Gosh! when did this rule come in)..
Then topic diverted to commitment, ownership, creativity, and finaly moved to philosophy..I was crying, aiyo oh no...the fresher was adviced with bhagavat gita chanting" do your duty, dont expect anything in return"..I was praying, plz dont enter in it further, luckily the philosophy stopped..After some discussion for half an hour, the meet ended with all the best..I sighed "oh god, finally its done..thankoos"..
When the guy moved out, only thought that was lingering in my mind was "matinanda kaipulla..evlo adichalum thangaran, evan rumba nalavannnnnnnnnn"

Me as a programmer...
This weekend, planned for the movie -"Tamil Padam".Heard its very comical one..I started checking some online bookings for the tickets..There wasnt any tickets in any good theatre. Desperate to kill my boredom, tried booking in a "ok type.." theatre..Movie plan was with my cousin.
As in any website, you can select your seats, I chose two and clicked next for the payment gateway. Only three seats were available by then..Then i realised i had chosen the wrong credit card type, as i couldnt navigate back opened a fresh window for booking. To my dismay those two seats were greyed out. Though i havent made payments on a selection, ticket is deemed to be booked..I thought, somewhere someone like me would be the programmer for this stupid site :-)
Then i refershed..refreshed..for some 10mins..nothing positive worked...
After sometime, tried in an other browser, and luckily it was available..So the programmer is now in a decent grade. If it hadnt worked in other browser, i would have cursed him/her even more badly..
If this is the case, once could click all the seats, and quit without making payemnts isnt, which would incur great loss to the theatre owner...
In yet another site, a drop down menu throwed an error -"null 0"..Again somewhere some programmer had written, and somewhere a tester like me had tested :-)
World is small, and we keep witnessing it!!

பார்வை
கருப்பு கண்ணாடி அணிதிருந்தேன் , உலகமே கருப்பாய் தெரிந்தது ..
நீல நிற கண்ணாடி அணிதிருந்தேன் , உலகமே நீலமாய் தெரிந்தது ..
கண்ணாடி கயர்டி பார்த்தேன் , உலகமே அழகாய் தெரிந்தது
நாம் மற்டவர்களை பார்க்கும் பார்வையும் இப்படி தானோ??

Just for gags
Dec, Jan is the peak season for all tax consultants....I am really bad at it..being in the industry for some 3 odd years now, i still find it very difficult to calculate my taxes and savings.
We were approached by one consultant ( it was a she)..me and my friend patiently listened to all those stuffs, as if were future ambanis..
She was explaining to us about an insurance scheme..these were her words "The insurance coverage is 15lakhs"..i was thinking if to tell it in a point blank way, "common dude if you die, your family would be paid 15L"..After explaining to us for almost some 10 or 15 odd mins, she asked us, do you have any questions..I kept quiet, smiled saying "nothing mam, will contact you if needed"..
Before i could finish, my friend asked her -" when will we get that 15L ( with a innocent tone)???"..
I really couldnt hide my laughter..but with patience , the consultant said "thats only in case of risk mam"..
even still i used to tease her , with the same odd tone " when will we get that 15L"..If she happened to read this piece, i would definetly end up getting a slap!!!
