Welcome to new decade...

WISH ALL A HAPPY 2010...

Last decade saw myself moving to b'lore,that transformed the whole life!!...

Being a engg grad,did fairely decent as a student, and then start off a career in GE..And became a Corrosion Engineer.Mid of the decade saw ettan getting married, and then the lovely mikoos is born...Still remember the day when she was born.I wish her a lot of luck and bright future.And wish she is as young as this..lovely!!!!!!!!

Achan, amma retired from their service..both had tremendous career, and i'm so lucky to have them..

Towards the endof the decade..met my life partner and my love-neenu.She is my life and my sounding board.Luv u a lot...

Feel the turning point of the decade was me moving to b'lore...

And now in the door step of another decade yet another relocation in the "PIPELINE"...I wish myself the best decade i can get in my lifetime....

NEWember...

IS Nov the happening month for me???Looks like...Down the memories..i remeber giving my first intervew , for the position of RA ( it a night mare for the intervewrs also) in GE..To be precise on Nov 14th 2005!!!!!!!!And same day in the evening i was first literally drunk!!!!!!!!
That was the door for my career..Now i call my self a Corrosion Engineer..and GE gave me the title..

And now on Nov 7th 09, first owned car-Hyundai i10..

More Novs to come and wishing myself all the best...

Almost an Yr

Yes..its almost an year for now( dec) that i moved to Chennai.I never thought or i never wanted to be here for so long..But now it looks like i am having decent time here..Turn back...lots of learning , and feels more maturity :-))

Today met gud old friend smitha after nearly 20 yrs.was classmate till 4th std and she left the school aftr that, now a doctor, @ thalassery. Vineeth was there, it was a nice time...

To "SIR" with luv

I dont understand why ppl r so finicky abt being addressed as Sir.Do they feel thy r getting respected by so..I understand at certain cases we need to address sir, but why the hell shud i call my manager/boss/seniors sir...Shit...
So much of micro managment...i just hate it..thy can do better things in that time...

Where r all the jobs gone???????

Where r all the jobs gone...Nobody hiring..No i-view calls,...dont they need any Corrosion Enginners!!!!!!!!!!!!Dont have a count how many resumes i would have send :-)

Aalkootathil thaniye…

Njan vicharichu, enikku areyum vilichu corrosion karyam samsarikkan illa, neither nobody calls me to talk abt corrosion.many of the people stares at me if I say I am a corrosion enginner, When People ask , “what platform u r working, who are u r clients, and which is ur domain”,I tell I am not a s/w enginner, they seems to be annoyed…
That nite I cud nt sleep properly,…so many thoughts abt my career-I felt I am screwing around with my professional life, where am I headin…I was clueless..
Next day after I reached home & told my wife about my career she was calm, and told, see this is unique job, not all can do corrosion or material selection, and it makes u stand out form the crowd ..Aalkootathil thaniye……

Yes she was right-I felt the same,

Disturbed .....Again

Flash news...Murali passed away..The actor who had a splendid performace in Panjagni,adharam , amaram,Champakkulam thachan,Ekantham etc had a sudden demise today..
Huge loss for malayalam cine industry, with his death.The mollywood had lost Rajan.P.Dev, Lohithadas recently...
the death of Bharath Gopi, Oduvil, NF.Vargheese, Narendraprasad etc has created a huge void in the industry,,,

My tributes..

theeraa nashtam...

തനിയാവര്ത്ത്തിലെ ബാലന്‍ മാഷെയും, കല്ലോര്‍ ഗോപിനാതെനെയും, നന്ദഗോപന്‍ മാഷെയും, അബ്ദുല്ലയെയും ,സേതുമാധവനെയും നമ്മുക്ക് സമ്മാനിച്ച ലോഹിതദാസ് ഇനി ഓര്‍മ മാതരും.മകളെക്കാള്‍ കടലിനെ സ്നേഹിച്ച അച്ചൂട്ടി ഇനി പോനര്‍ജനിക്കില്ല...

ലോഹി...എന്തിനിത്ര നേരത്തെ പോയി ?????????

മലയാളിയുടെ അഹങ്ങരമായി കരുതിയ രവീന്ദ്രന്‍ മാഷും ഭരതനും ഇപ്പോള്‍ ലോഹിയും പോയി ...ഇനി നമുക്കാറുണ്ട്??

So the elections are over..Team manmohan is back in action..with lots of energy and hope...

WISH U HAPPY ELECTIONS!!!!

Vishu is oveer and its the election fever...Looks like soon i will enter the political arena...Its fun:-)
These days i spend most of my time reading...no studying newspapers and news portals.going thro' the candidate profile,consituency details etc...i just enjoy it..
Other day i was going through a malayalam news paper, which had an editorial about the YSR Reddy and various developements happening in Andhra Pradesh..It says that From Hitech city, AP has moved very far ahead within last few yrs,..With Nano park, coming up and many programs for the farmers, AP is heading for a great revolution.And today i read abt the Baramati Consituency..As per the newspaper, Baramati has changed a lot within last few yrs, Both in terms of infrastructure and resources and also the living conditions of the farmers and the people.
After going through i just thought of my State-Kerala.We have 20 Constituency and frankly i am searching for any one "developement" in any of these constittuency.Inrespective of the parties, none of the MPs had done any of these kindof revelutionary developemnts in kerala.We have no clue abt the much talked Smart City.Be in travancore or central or malabar side of lkerala we have nothing to boast off.We cant keep fooling people by showing House boats or Tea plantations or kathakali for ever,Do we have any job creating industry,Forget IT, its not happeing in Kerala.Atleast Some effort should have made on traditional indutry like coir, rubber, agriculture...people telll we have scope for bio technology, then why no have a Biotech park, ...

Basically i think we have the policy called self butt pating...

theeratha vedanakal

Vinasha kaale vipareedha bhudhi...

Athanu ente ipplzhathe sthidhi..Nothing going right...Looks like i am screwing up my career..with no proper direction...

These days its very funny at office..Its not just reading the newspapers but infact its studying the papers..And then i do the Chess/scrabble/Snooker in the system, with headphone around my ears...Basically doing nothing...

Search for the house came to an end as i shifted to rangarajapuram yesterday..and nothings going right there..Everything to start form the scracth with no or little help from the land lord/lady...its not worth for 8500/-ANyway as i mentioned vinasha kale vipareedha bhudhi..

oNLY RAY OF hope is few words from astrologers who mentioned that there is some possible change around the corner form the month of May/June..Note that they didnt mentioned which year...

My 50 days in Chennai

…..
Before I started to Chennai itself many people mentioned…….no …rather warned me of Chennai. Most of them mentioned about the terrific climate , and others about the traffic and few about the people..

As always I gave a damn to them..and told these are the problems which u face anywhere in the world..:-) But ya..i was wrong.

The day I arrived I was put in a so called “guest house” opp.to my office.Ihad great hopes thinking of stay in a studio apartments or some place like that.But when my rickshaw stopped infront infront of Hotel Sangetha..That was just a beginning to my losing hopes and dreams..The room was crampy and it stinks like shit.Fortunately there was A/C and a TV.Two days there and I moved to Vineeth’s Place..
But the true nature of the people of this part of the world was/is experienced from the office.People are so conservative and they are allergic to Change.I was shocked when I was told that there wont be internet connection to me ,as by band doesn’t allow me to have one.Same is the case for direct-phone connection and even a visiting card…It sounds funny but yes that’s the reality.
Right from the day 1 I have been requesting/begging for a internet connection.Googling has become a part of my life and frankly I was so obsessed with it.These days net banking or online bill payments are not hi-fi..its just mere comfort and time saving...
I don’t know how can somebody live without internet these days..
Manager don’t even reply to emails or don’t have time to talk…Egoism at its best…
People cant think out of box or not willing accept change….

Don’t know how far I will stay here…

Indian Slavery …….

We Indians are known for our hospitality…Our tourism dept has the caption “Adithi Devo Bhava…”

But many a times this hospitality has often resulted in bending our spinal cord before a foreigner..Yes I think its in our blood to act as a slave to these foreigners…
We stand up when the come inside a hall or room..We make way for them in the queue,we keep listening to their talks, rather we talking…...we open the door for them, always keep waiting for our turn…….

Yes I have seen …the security fellow of my office opens the door when any “white” come near…he don’t give a rats ass to other fellow Indians…Whites have different policies…they don’t need any dress codes,no time sheets, cabs to pick/drop them, stay in studio apatments…
When we travel to their land ..they give a damn…Here we make special dishes for them,,,there we eat what those assholes eat…And we speak for adopting western culture…J
Yes I feel we have it in our blood, the attitude to be slave always…

Economic Melt down

Evrybody keeps talking abteconomic melt down.....

At the end of each month I think of having some balance in the account ..but it so far it never happened in my life..There will some or the other expense to meet...
I dont know when will i be able to have a house of my own..Been dreamingof a house for a while but wait is still going on..

Too late..but a peep into 2008

I would say 2008 was a happening yr..lot of happenings..
Jan was the month, there was a change of job, moved within the organization.Dont know why i did that,..at least one thing i understood..never listen to anybody.....its ur career..u decide..ANyway no point blaming others..It was a disaster.
The biggest shock came to me when came to know about Animama..Had met him and we had masala dosa together, from Al-shifa.Within couple to days after that we lost him..This was on March 25th.Still feel his presence around.
Then was the Marriage..ya..it happened..July 12th..( lemme re check),ya..its fun so far...An amazing trip to Thailand with Neenu , enjoyed a lot.Pattaya was li'le disturbing though..

Again one more scary month Sept...When Achan called and told amma needs a biopcy, didnt knew what to do.But i am sure it was a shock treatment by the HIM.With God's grace and our prayers, Amma is fine..

All over these months my routine job of JOB search went on..At some point i used to send 6-7 resumes daily.Finaly got a call from a comp in Chennai, and then ya i moved to Chennai.
Just getting adjusted with this environment, sometimes feels like running away, but we have to face..No internet/No phone connection/No Project/nothing....But ya learning few new things..Hope that opens the way to my dream destination..MiddleEast..

Come back..

Yes..its a come back..Its been a while i posted something on the blog..

I always wanted to blog..but for many reasons never happened..First i think i dont have good writing skills..i admit..
But now i think i though i will spend some time blogging..Just about my day-to-day activities and other expereinces..
