MY MGM Trip!!!!!

how could i have missed writing about this..... one of my most eventful trip..... we 5 girls, i.e me and 4 girls from ASCIL proj planned to go to MGM..... so i picked them all up from nungambakkam station and we started our journey in my merc :) ( thats what glakes people call my maruti 800)... when we were around the Planetorium, near anna university my car wheel punctured....5 girls, on a sunday, no one was there in the road....we were wondering wat to do and this auto man came up vlountarily and changed with the back up wheel i had.....and with our excitement not lost by even .1% we continued......and here comes the biggest, while we were going the trivanmiyur road, near the RTO office, the car stopped in the middle of the road :)....u shud have imagined my now, on a peak road, the buses and car would be horning so that u can become deaf, and ur car is refusing to move an inch....and then there came 2 men, who pushed the car to the corner and allowed way for the other vehicles to go......being a sunday there was no mechanic shops around and the closest was abt 1/2km away.....so the 5 of us, started pushing the car with a song......can u belive it, we were all smiling and the singing the full time....then the mechanic guy came up and did a fix for 2 mins and took 100 bugs from me.....for this 2 min fix, we spent around 1.5 hours pushing and waiting for him to come......and then all that we prayed was there was no more surprises in my car......finally when we reached MGM it was close to 12....we started @ 9:30 and reached by 12...we travelled for more than 2.5 hours which shud have been ideally covered on a sunday in 45 mins.......but for all this, we made up by having full time fun in MGM........this was one of the most unforgettable trips for me....there were rides were archana was flying from her seat.....i didnt know i shud b excited abt it or get scared......kirthiga freaked out on seeing archana flying......actually of the 5, the 2 brave ones who went for all rides were archana and shobha...... in all, one of the most eventful day....

Day 1 - Second Project

HEre i come again.....saturday was my last day in first proj and today, my first day in the second proj......everything here looks just the opposite of what it was in my ASCIL proj ( i mean 1st proj)..... the first and the foremost thing, is the new work environment.....this is the TCS office and it is so huge, everywhere u see people, every lift is crowded and the worst is the food court which is so huge but packed........just the opposite of ASCIL, which had very few people in the office, very familiar faces and there is no concept of food court. just eat in your desk....thats all....The next being the project team....i donno any of the developers in the team....all that i know are the PRoject manager and the tech lead.....so i am feeling so lost....and moreover this is a huge team....when i mean huge, a team strenght of 25 people or more....that is huge for me, bcoz ASCIL team strenght of 5 and at the max 8.....so, now u people can understand my plight.....it is just the oppsite of what i was used to in the last 6 months.....so i am finding it really difficult to get used to it....i only hope i get accustomed to it quiet sooner....the sooner, the better for me...... Letz c......

My First Project Over - Shud I Cry or Smile!!!!!!!

finally, managed to successfully complete my first proj.......but i really donno if i shud feel happy or sad abt it......it is kind of a mixed feeling......i feel really nice, that i managed to finish it and the product is all ready for going live, but at the same time, i am leaving this team which has become so close to me in this 5 months period.....though it took some time for me to get comfortable with this team during the initial days, but eventually they have all really become so close to me, that i enjoyed every minute that i spent with them..... i just cant forget the way kirthiga comes up with something really out of context when everyone in the team would be discussing on a topic very seriously, and the next minute, seriousness is gone and all of us burst out laughing...... the times where me and the project lead would fight and irritate each other over small issues and derive a sadistic pleasure out of it, and thustakeer coming up with all possible weird names for archana...... oh, i am missing all those things really!!!!!!!!!! but i think this is reality....being a business analyst, the only permanent thing in your work environment is 'CHANGE'....... i think i would also get used to it....but, it sure going to take a LOT of time....... But, ASCIL Team, i am really missing all of u, to say the least!!!!!!!! it was gr8 being with all of u..... every1 in that team is so special to me, as that was my first project after my MBA...... u people are all very special!!!!!!!!!!!!!
