My experience in Chennai Rains

I would like to recall the 2015 incident of Chennai Rains, where I got in my apartments for 3 days and had no other option to stay put. So, to start off, on day 1 there was heavy rain and it was a working day, I informed the team lead that I would be working from home on that day and was doubtful about the availability due to heavy rains. So, the electricity was available till 11 AM and it was pouring like hell, the electricity disconnection was there on cards anytime soon. I had pretty much no work on that day, I switch on my office laptop and opened my MacBook Pro as well to browse YouTube videos as there were two strings attached one was, since it was raining heavily the dish didn’t and other thing was, my office laptop had so much restrictions and viewing videos in it was a horrendous task. Later I felt how stupid I have been to use both laptops without sensing the horrible task of staying in home for 3 days. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

14. Continuation for iPhone vs Android

Continuation with my previous post about deciding whether to switch to Android from iPhone or stay loyal with my 4+ years old iPhone 6, I was worried more about reliability in Android phones. Two things were constantly stopping me from moving to Android, the first thing was too much customization possible – this made me really worried because all I wanted was a simpler and more convenient ways to turn on/off controls, as in Android I felt the settings were too complicated and there were too many settings. The second most important thing which stopped me from switching to Android is the longevity and regular updates, as most third-party manufacturer other than Google’s own Pixel phones get most delayed updates and by the time the software gets updated, then already a new version of software is being launched. The longevity is another issue with the Android phones, as the phones starts to loosen up while been used for long time. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Assigned other region opportunity at my Work

I have been assigned to work on the opportunity which had scope for less work and more for the delivery SME to derive the estimation. However, once the opportunity kicked-off I was assigned with work for which I had to work by extending my hours and coordination with delivery SME, who finds it hard to spare few minutes to share inputs. In meantime, during the kick off call and in between time I was free and just browsing, but manger had other options he was checking me if I had bandwidth to support one more opportunity which might be of less work. So, I said yeah sure why not and accepted to work on the opportunity. The opportunity seemed easy cake walk for me and had to tweak the standard content I had consolidate earlier. To start off, I connected with the delivery POC assigned and was checking the effort required for the opportunity. As expected, he conveyed we would wait for the further information from the required team and would tweak the existing response shared earlier. I had already had standard content worked upon and the delivery person confirmed that this what exactly expected for the opportunity. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Rating in IT company

Now the time has come for rating in my company, I was so anxious about my rating. After so much of struggle, hardship and politics at my work, now is the time to know about the recognition for my work and professional ethics. As I was able to maintain a good level of rapport to all my colleagues and delivery POC’s on all projects that were assigned, I was hopeful I would be recognised in my team. Before the rating day night, I was so anxious and was not able to sleep. Usually I woke up late in the morning, but during the rating day I woke up early in the day and was able to login to the portal through my mobile to check my rating. Mobile was slowing up to open the portal and finally the page opened, since the page was zeroed it had awkward view and I had to scroll in all angles to view my rating. The moment has come, my rating was viewable to me, to all god’s grace and to my surprise I was awarded FIRST rating. I was shell shocked and was not able to believe myself about the rating. I was jumping out of my bed and was jumping around after knowing it was First rating. To read more check out “G R Team Sites”
