Long Drive After A Long Time

Hi All,,

It was a long time going a far distance in my bike, and that is why i am here to write about it... It was only during my days working at EFL driving from T Nagar to Neelangarai, from Neelangarai to Sholinganallur, from Sholinganallur to Velacherry and back to T Nagar, it comes more than 75 Kms from that office... I was not quite happy with my job there, but some how established my ability and skills in improving the projects... I could still feel proud that companies like TCS, CTS, POLARIS, ICICI, MIDAS COMMUNICATION, VERIZON, and HCL use the application what i have developed for their Access Control Systems and CCTVs. All these stories happened during the year 2005-06. My last project in EFL was, i was deputed in Olympia Tech Park as Design Engineer for ACS in the year 2006. It was a year of laurels and happiness for me. But, due to unforseen circumstances i had to quit and i quitted. Hmmm,,,, No more flashback,,,, because that is not the topic.

Yesterday, that is on 24th July 2009, i went to Tambaram in my bike almost 30 Kms. I caught the road from Villivakkam, padi, Annanagar, thirumangalam, CMBT, vadapalani, Ashok Pillar, Kasi Theater, Jaya TV, Ekkatuthaangal flyover, Meenambakkam, Trisulam, Pallavaram, Chromepet, and Tambaram. Actually, why i am quoting these places because, all these places had some kind of relation with me while i was working in EFL. My project is been used in the companies that is situated in these areas. We always worked 24/7 hrs for these companies because at times our database requires some kind of treatment to store the data when it is full, almost a lakh and a half thousands of records get stored in their ACS,,, and doors even dont open when such things happens, so we will be always available there to cater the need of the hour. I and my team never mind about how many hours we work, because it was our project and we did it without managements help to prove a point.

Some of the companies were my project is still working are,

Barry Wehimiller International Resources
Airport Authority of India
Kasi Theater
BSNL Exchange near to Kasi Theater
HP at Olympia Tech Park
Verizon at Olympia Tech Park
HP at Lords Building
Virtusa At Lords Building
Jaya TV administrative office
Vijay TV administrative office
Sun TV administrative office at anna arivalayam (earlier)

The list does not stop with this, the length of its goes on and on and on,,,,

Hmmm... Now coming to the topic, it was in the evening around 7 o clock, i happened to travel to tambaram to my aunts place by my bike. My bike was fully filled with the fuel and my mobile was also fuelled with all those two year old songs and i happened to listen to it while driving. The climate was good and the route which i caught was as stated above. It was great to see the companies and still you can envisage the past.. I felt like history was being written once again. The volume of music in my mobile showed its peak and each and every song that i heard correlated and envoyed the story behind the each project. Let me tell one thing for you people, others may say that histories are always an history that is not going to happen once again, but when you realise wat you have done at past, that too, your achievements it gives you an ecstasy and will always relish becoming a catalyst to succeed in future endeavours.

But relying only on past and doing nothing at present is not going to yield you anything in future. So always work hard to succeed in life and have something to cheer with new achievment made at past....

"Always have the new Past to cheer for your future success with present hardwork"

Best Time Spent Before The Idiot Box

Hi All,

Its been a long time scribbling in my blog, and now i have got some reasons to spare some time in writing this post. Actually, the thing is after a hectic weekend i happened to sit before the idiot box which did not contain any kind of interesting stuffs. But, when thought about the movies i saw in the past, i could only realise there were only few movies that had very good story line that actually came along.

One of such good movies i saw was "The Pursuit Of Happiness" starring Will Smith, Steve Tisch which is directed by Gabriele Muccino. The film was actually based on true story of an ordinary salesman named Christopher Gardener in East England.

The story goes like this, Gardner has invested heavily in a device known as a "Bone Density scanner". He feels like he has made these devices. However, they do not sell as they are marginally better than the current technology at a much higher price. On top of that, one of these does not work. As Gardner tries to figure out on how to fix the faulty one and sell the others, his wife leaves him, he loses his house, his bank account, and credit cards. Forced to live out in the streets with his son, Gardner is now desperate to find a steady job; he takes on a job as a stockbroker, but before he can receive pay, he needs to go through 6 months of training, and to sell his devices.

There are three points that has to be followed that can make your life look healthy and grow healthy. I can still remember the expression and words of Will Smith talking to his son when he is almost lost every thing in his life except his confidence to succeed and his son. I can reveal out some of those for you as follows,

1. Do not let any one to tell you can't do things.
2. Do not loose your heart when everything goes wrong.
3. Do think through all the possibilities of success.
4. Do think you are always there to make thing go right even if it goes down beneath the break even point.

There are so many things in this film to make you realise that you are not in this world to attain failures, and you are here to succeed with the failure. I can even tell you the dialogue of will smith telling this in this film,,,, it goes like this "We hold these truths to be self-Evident, that all men are created Equal, that they are Endowed By their Creator with Certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happyness."

Absolute Definition of success lies in yourself and you need not read from any books. It all depends on how you perceive things in your life and perception of your life. Always hope that you can do everything wat you need in your life and you will succeed. Always strive for victory. Always do think positive in every aspect of life to head it towards success.

Thanking you,

Bye untill next interesting blog.
