Pradip”…

To be frank I du not knw wat he really is… and here I am writin abut one such person dunno y and tat too at this point o time(11:20pm) on a Friday(29-08-08) after a lousy 9:00 -6:45 job…

Nw I’ve begun to call him “PRA” he’s becum ma chuddy-buddy!!! ;)

Pra as far as I knw is a practical soul, a sensible and down-to-earth guy. he is slow to move to action, deliberate and careful..

Pradip s not a dreamer ,he plans things fer life and lives life the way he wants to live it… though he may seem a go lucky sorts trust me he s not- he’s a MAN who plans fer the winter days, he loves his mommy loads…. He can get reaaallyyy poetic at times and will sweep u off yer feet.. I guess more than intelligence common sense was tat which drew me to him…he s takes no bossin around, and he doesn’t do tat to u too ne time.. I guess he s protective abut ppl close to him and cares fer them loads… he goes ahead wid things only if he wants to else take a bet he wont move an inch as “the Rock”…

Basically a perfect 9 on 10 fer this guy from ma side …. He acts matured nevertheless he sounds naïve initially but as u get t know him he s not guys…

Attention Ladies “THIS GUY LOVES TO COOK” ,he’s working on this now and I am sure one day he’ll be grt at it..

“LOVE U BUDD”

Getting The Big Break

When was the last time you felt that you have got “The Break” you were looking for? Well quite recent for me if you ask me. How? Ok let me back track

I am here working in a startup company with big plans, aspirations and one of the best technologies. 3 years down the line I felt that it was time to move on. So I started hunting for job. My first interview was with IBM, and I luckily clearing the same. Followed by the interview with Jamcracker and clearing that too. Then Started my difficulty to decide which one to opt for? IBM or Jamcracker.

I started listing from the point of view of an employee pros and cons:

1)- IBM i brand name, well known and worth spending time even in bench. While Jamcracker is small and unknown to many so if sometime later I plan to leave the company it would be same all over again with me having to explain where I was working.

2)- IBM is so big a sea that the being or not being of few fishes wouldn’t make a difference, thus it would be so difficult to make your presence felt. While here in Jamcracker there is a chance that if you are doing something good people would know that you did something.

3-4) IBM’s salary was more or less the same with JC. But the position a so was better in JC. And history of hikes also was much better than IBM.

So after much thought I was planned to join Jamcracker. I confirmed with the HR and all that formalities.

All good this far, that’s when comes the interview from company called Aztecsoft – A Mindtree Company. I thought “ok lets go and attend. Just another interview right?” And lo – I came out from that interview with a better offer (MONEY Baby!!) and position. All ethics were sidelined and I took the Aztecsoft offer and told No to JC. In quite a dramatic fashion which still at times makes me sad for having to say that.

I join Aztecsoft on 15^th Sep, after quite a big break that is of 13 days for Onam and housewarming in Kerala. I joined and start to get to know that how things work in big companies and even before I was allotted any real work I am in for another surprise (call it god’s grace!!) I am being asked by my PM – “would you like to go to USA soon?” “Of course” Comes my reply.

And here I am sitting writing blog while doing US Visa process. So if everything goes well i am gonna be in USA soon. It may happen that i may not got to US because of 100 things that can go wrong. But Hey this shows that there is always a chance. Isn't it?

This was my break that I remember. Why? Coz it gave confidence that I can after all clear interviews, my brother happiness that his younger brother is something, my mother freedom to retire coz her children are on there feet and my dad proud to say where his son works. Well that’s a break all of us would like to have isn’t it?
