Being a Workaholic

Joined "XX" on 25th September, 2006 and still havenot got time for the blogs. I have been on work from the first day and didn't get any honeymoon period which other people get when changing a job.

I have become a complete workaholic and will have to be like this for many more coming months.

Technology, Size & Price (Electronics)

With technology improving by leaps & bounds & people going ga-ga over the new electronic gadgets that come out daily into the market, the size of most of the electronic items is going to diminish to a large extent in a very short span of time. These developments in technology & mass production of the gadgets is helping to bring down the cost of production (consumption too) drastically.
I went out in search of a storage medium which can be used to transfer data (around 25 GB)from my present work place to the new one. First, I thought of getting DVD's written but then got my eyes on a portable hard disk of 80 GB capacity with cost in the range of Rs. 4000/- ($85). It looked like a great option for transferring the data without any hassles as it doesn't need an external source for power & connects through a USB port (USB port is really a universal port now a days). It actually uses a laptop internal hard disk which is converted to an external one using a casing. The size of this fully functional unit is of a small PDA or a small telephone diary.
There were other attractive options also available where a hard drive with a capacity of 200 GB costing around Rs. 4000/- was available but this one needed external power source which sometimes becomes too difficult to get. This is actually useful if used as a dumping drive (for any stuff you get). There are cheaper such drives available in US (250 GB costing $70).
I have the 80 GB now & in 5 days I have dumped around 55 GB of data into it (movies, songs etc.). Let's see how much more material I get for dumping in. May be in days to come, one will get 500 GB space in the same size and price but right now it seems to be the best option. It actually is a great device, a must have in todays world where one gets so much of data to deal with.

Working Saturday - Even Monday's better

16th September, 2006 - Satyam Hyderabad's one of worst days for employees - It was a working saturday coz 6th September, 2006 (Wednesay) was off on the eve of Ganesh Visarjan. These kind of things have happened before also but this was one of the worst as it would be my last Saturday in Hyderabad and I had to go to office. Even Monday's are better than such kind of working Saturday's where a few people report to work and actually don't work. A person would feel better on a Monday morning going to office than on the Friday night before a working Saturday. But one has to live with the adversities like this as they are a kind of Necessary Evils or one can say a kind of Vicious Circle.

Time, Life & I (playing games)

I have been completely occupied for past some days with the games that time and life have been playing in terms of deciding & altering the relieving date from here. Finally (as usual), I have been successful in getting the relieving date as 22nd September,2006, so that I would be able to join on 25th September,2006. This has been a test of my negotiation skills and my character in handling the tense moments that such games in life can ask you to deal with. So, I would be joining "XX" on 25th with full confidence and vigour to succeed in the job at hand. "XXXXXXX" - here i come to rock you !!!!!!!

Time, Life & I

Faster than all - Time & Life are running fast and I am trying to run even faster. I hope joining "XX" will be the first step in trying to achieve that feat. 25th Septemeber will be the date when that leg of life starts and I shift to "XXXXXXX" for that Race. I hope it will work out fine & will boost my career as IT revolution has boosted India's fate as a outsourcing destination of the world.
