Fun time in brief!!

I have written this sometime in the middle of my vacation but due to connectivity issues, I could not post it then. Internet could not be setup this time but will definitely try to set it up next time from BSNL. Let us see how that goes.

It has been a wonderful break so far except for the hectic travel. Travel from LA-Hyd can be written as a short story and bus travel from Chennai to my native was very exciting too. I think everybody experiences something funny and thought provoking in every travel. The young woman besides me from LA-Singapore did not think that the pilot was putting all the effort to get us safe to Singapore. That was kind of too bad for someone who is doing her Ph.D. in Civil Engg.. I didn’t know whether to play that ‘Art of Living’ character and quote Lord Krishna or play myself and tell her that pilots are on JOB to get us safe. I just had to tell her there is nothing bad that the crew reported and there is nothing that I am aware of to doubt the reputation of Singapore Airlines crew. I came across another young woman in SIN-MUM flight. It is difficult to ignore a hot chick and it is harder to ignore a lady when she goes, “that hostess was so stupid - she kept my luggage far away”. There was also a bunch of call center agents who had visited their head quarters in LA and returning. The call center boy besides me asked for red wine when the hostess was preparing to serve the breakfast.

I sometimes feel that I should have been in a job that takes me places (like a sales job or professional services job) but unfortunately not everybody gets to do what they like. I in fact thought I landed in the right job when I worked at Dallas for an Analytics implementation but after landing in Torrance, I realized that my assessment of the job was very inaccurate. For a brief period, it appeared that all reporting implementations will be for not more than 3 months and are executed Onsite, which was proven totally incorrect in Torrance. Anyways, let me not complain about Torrance even during my vacation.

In my village, it is definitely something people got used to now. There are way too many people in IT and there are more outside India. ‘India Shining’ campaign best represents the boys who are just completing their under graduation now. There are too many Engg. colleges and there are more jobs now than ever in the field of IT. I received about 3-4 Wedding cards now and all the grooms are Software Engineers and brides are also mostly working women. This I guess explains the result of the boom in IT industry in last 10 years.
