For you .............

To express your love to your partner there are lot of ways around.....

The 2 ways which always worked for me are :

  1. Whispering talks with her on the phone or when together (mostly travelling) or watching the movie holding hands.......Whispering and pampering is always great....For me thats number 1....
  2. And nothing like a kiss. Gentle one or long one kiss always ensures that the love remains and yes the memories do come back...Of course the good ones... 
If you could, walk with her with your hand across her shoulders and she would / might love it...

Almost........

This days being in Satyam is like an insult to the self-respect....Employees like me and you suffer when the top brass makes merry on cost of poor employee. God knows how much truth lies in the news of employees not receiving salary for 2 months....If true then shocking......Love of land did him in and now the law of land gets mr Raju in....

Cut to Sep 2007, i was looking for change in job for umpteenth time...I had 3 offers -- IBM, Infy and Satyam....IBm was ruled out for the horrible pay....Infy was putting me to horrible DCs and Satyam was damn favorite....Relocation to Blore and that was good enough for me to go for it....But i was waiting for the offer letter to come and of course the money (fraud one or real one dunno) they were offering....5 weeks and nothing arrived. Spoke to 5 or 6 HRs across Hyd, Pune and Blore but no updates on offer letter, money and job role...Everytime a new HR and same story to tell with false promises for quicker resolution.....

around 50 emails exchanged, no replies and finally pissed off....Gave up on job change untill i got a call from Infy HR that there is an opening in Pune DC and i can join Infy. Without any delay I accepted  the offer, resigned from old company and shot a strong mail to Satyam HRs......They made mockery of me and my candidature. ....Fooled me for 2 months........And today when i stand and look back, i am proud of my decision to walk over the offer from them and be in a place which is higher on morality and ethical practises. 

And this was what I wrote :

"Hi XXXX
 
Thanks for the mail. Regret to tell you that I am unable to accept the offer if and whenever its rolled.  The major reason for the same being the horrible experience i am getting since last few weeks when its coming down to roll out the offer.  This puts a deep doubt in my mind about the kind of work or the association with Satyam would be. 
 
Its time I call it quits owing to the language been offered to me from different HR associates and the kind of false commitments bestowed to me.  I even went to the extent of resigning from my company on verbal confirmation from SG last week only to find out that there were still some doubts and "processes" to follow to roll out the offer. And last Friday was my worst day in dealing with the HR associates of your esteemed organization and since the day I have been revisiting the prospects of whether to join or not and for that the offer had to be rolled out. When there is so much delay and lack of transparency, then probably I should not accept the offer, which is yet to be rolled out.
 
I never knew what the problem was with my offer and why it was being kept delayed. I was pulled in for the interview so soon, and then nothing went right.  Delays, put ons for the next week, change of HR,  language being used to solve the queries were enough deterrents for me to turn down the offer, but I kept the hope, but this is it.
 
Besides there has been no hike whatsoever from my current salary in the company i work for.  At least 1 or 2% hike is some one expects if not 10 or 20% which is the market standard.  And since there are no onsite opportunities, I find it tough to associate with Satyam.
 
On the concluding note, I know loss of one candidate wont make much loss or sense to Satyam, but this kind of happenings which I was unfortunately part of take, dont sound too good.
 
It was nice enough to be considered good for the interview with Satyam, but probably not good enough to be rolled out with the offer.  And that was heartbreaking.  Just would like to give one feedback : never harass the candidate with false commitments and false hopes.  Perhaps this mail would bring a lot of relief that no more status calls would be made from my end. 
 
I know the offer would never have come to me, but you all have got no right to ask me to resign from my company to join you when you even have not bothered to roll out offer or send written resolution of the queries"

Expectedly, there was no reply from either of the 7 HR folks.....

This was one decision I am very proud of. I feel for those fellow IT pros who are stuck there and have no clue about where they are heading to. I pray that some divine intervention helps them all secure their job either within or outside Satyam.  Worst part of this fraud is it happened in recession times which makes it even difficult for people to find good jobs!!

Wanna Get +ve Again!!

Years of negativity, years of living with problems, years of making moles of mountain, years of crying wolf when there is a cat.............

Am sick of it.........

Want to change this........

Have to get truckloads of positivity and regain that streak of optimism which i had in me 4 years ago....

How do i do it ?

My blog has got to be positive and oozing with optimism....Positivity, solutions to the problems and a new perosna........Thats gotta be here........

Everybody has problems, we cant live with them and obsessed with them.! Find a solution and khatam karo yaar!!

Cant tolerate any sort of negativity around me. Be it from my whacky project manager or anybody......

Being hopelessly positive is my biggest resolution of year!!

2009 ka biggest resolution!! Damn problems, be +....In short DPB+!!

PS : After watching Rab ne bana di jodi, i had that streak of learning Punjabi reactivated!! I wrote a few posts in it and that were strictly due to SRK effect. Wasnt imitating anybody!!

I feel i am having crush on somebody!! Met her once for coffee in CCD @ Narayan Kothi Chouraha.....

Life comes full circle!!

Life comes full circle for everybody. Today one laughs or peeves off at somebody's pain, the next cycle he does get the same. The axe falls, for sure. To escape it, be sensitive to troubles and pains people go through......And if one such person is encountered who is in trouble for reasons not known or the full version of story not known, then be a passe. Dont stay there and watch the drama.....And certainly not forward that to the friends...

Nothing remains same forever. People change, times change. But life goes on. The actors change, the situations change, but the mantra for good life doesnt change. And that mantra is accept the reason of existence of everybody. Person in trouble is not to be mocked or scoffed or pounced....If no shoulder cant be offered for comforting him, then dont take away the shoulder that is comforting him with set of blatant lies or cooked up stories...

Some point of time later when those shoulders or other ones are needed, you might find none. Life does come back full circle. It does.....

i adore people who fight out all the odds and come back top. i salute their gumption and their spirits.....i know few of them and to let them know my salutation to their never say die spirit, i shall originate an award and pass it on to such brave hearted bloggers.....
