26 October'2011. It's Diwali & i wasn't home as i have to be at work on the day 'coz as per my office calender the next day was holiday. Yeah yeah thats bad. Smooth traffic & not much of happening at office either as it was an holiday for all the companies. I was out by 5:00PM. Planned for a dinner with some of my friends. Lot of options Paradise, Bassera Inn, GreenPark, Fourseasons, Hotel Daspalla etc etc. Finally landed up at City center for Indijoe. But no buffet and no north indian or south indian food either. So forced to come out and look for an other option. There it was Sahib Sindh Sultan. Some time back when i had been to Indijoe for a lunch buffet, Sahib Sindh Sultan caught my eye. But heard from one of my friends thats the prices are sort of a bit high & franckly never got a chance to visit either. So, it was the chance. Being diwali, not much of crowd.The staff was neatly dressed and was quick in reception and led us to a table in no ...

Two days back i visited new Chutneys restaurant inaugurated right in the building of Kalyana Kanchi Showroom beside viswanath theatre at JNTU X Roads in Kukatpally. Chutneys is a chain of restaurants in Banajara hills, Himayathnagar, Secunderabad and now in Kukatpally. I personally am a fond of Chutneys for its speciality in varieties of chutneys served and healthy & wide range of menu. Being a Idly fan, i was tempted to visit the new restaurant in view of huge reputation Chutneys gained though its wee bit expensive. All the previous tastes and reputation Chutneys gained faded away in a flash. The food was crap and also the service was very late. I took my father to Chutneys for the first time giving him an boasted up description of sumptuous meal i had in other branches. But this experience didn't even left a impression, good immpression is far away, for a second visit. Disappointing! We ordered Mango Uthappam, Guntur Idli, Babai Hotel Idli, Paneer Tikka Dosa. W...

At end of the day, every one works for money, its true & correct as well. But, atleast some % of ownership in your job would be appreciated. "Ownership" was the first thing i learnt at my first company Effigent. It seemed like it was an integral part of every employee with whom i worked at Effigent. This indeed reflects in all the work you do & complete. It has lot much to do with all other factors which help you excel your job. It induces you with all the competent features to show case your capabilities. In my 6 years stint which included around 3 years in team leading position, i came across some team members who never owned their job. They just worked and never loved their job. Just as mechanical robot. Mechanical work output from them will not contribute much to the company or either themself or either the team. This attitude is quite annoying and will not earn them any points anywhere. In most of the cases, it was apparent that their such attitude was the re...

For those living in Hyderabad Telangana related agitations are quite common in the past 3-4 years. Its just a matter of excuse the political drama troop need to call for a bandh/strike. Media hypes that the telangana state formation agitations are intensified by showing some footages. Don't know whats the truth. The currently happening "All peoples' agitation" called for by Joint Action Committee, government employees of the Telangana region have also boycotted duties to press their demand for a separate statehood. But, how many of them volunteered to boycott the duties? Inspite of the government warning for "No work no pay" clause, how many of them would have volunteered? Transport - APSRTC reports about a loss of 25 crores due to the last 2 days of strike and Hyderabad had lost Rs.250 crores of business due to commercial trading. All this traffic load is being taken over by the railways to commute in & out of hyderabad and telangana districts. Le...
