A Piece Of Cake

It was my sister Mrudula's wedding reception on 19March'11. The occasion is itself to create an festive atmosphere among our family members & close circle of relatives. The platform was decorated in grand setting....photo sessions with friends....wishes.....cake cutting....dances...lot of fun. It was 11:00PM and the reception has reached the climax. Shyam, our photographer, was still having his creative juices flowing, trying to get the poses right from my sister and brother-in-law. They looked tired, it was obvious. Infact they were standing the platform since 7:00PM. My Suresh & Ramesh mama were at the kitchen busy in discussions with the chef for the next days menu. My dad was standing there down the stage talking to the orchestra party and reg. their payment for the services. The orchestra was quite a good hit this time in contrary to my elder sisters marriage reception orchestra(which was dull due to the unfortunate incident of theft of some money). I was standin...

Is the problem with Employee or Employer?

"Are you coming from office now?", inquired one of my team member Mr.Krissh(proxy name). "Yeah", i nodded and continued with my dinner. "Its 11:00PM yaar. Is there so much of work?", asked Mr.Krissh after a short pause. I smiled and replied, "You are new to the project, you will come to know after few more days. You will also be late".

"I too wouldn't insist as long as you complete the assigned work on time", i replied. Infact, the frank and blunt answer put me in into thinking. Cut.....

Whats the point?!!??

Since ever i'm into BPM domain from Java, i have been travelling like almost like i'm on some roller skates. Never been at hyderabad for more than a month continuously. Before that i was at hyderabad only for 4 years without any relocation/client site work etc. etc. Now, not to blame anybody, but the work insists me to travel a lot. I had been to bangalore, mumbai multiple iterations for different clients. Though the demand of stay at different locations is for more than a month or so, i manage to close the assignment within a month. Its knowledge gain, exposure to the quaint clients requirements...seeing different places...meeting different people...different food is all nice. But at eod, my wallet is not weighing more. Then whats the point!?!?!
