Its been a while!

Okay..So here I am almost two months later my last post!! I was out, lost and mad in the chaos of life. It is sometimes to tiring to make things happen, to take control of life and steer it the way you want it to. So i decided to go the other way .. I decided to go with the flow, for a change i followed life where it took. And boy these two months have been terrific!! So as I said, I am back finally !!

So, whats this post about? Well.. Today, the 11th of June 2010 marks 3 years of my work life !! Yes It marks the 3rd successive year of my tryst with the big ' C ' - The Corporate!! This day reminds me the day I graduated from college and this day makes me feel old year on year!! lol!!

I cannot believe its been three years since i've started working. Just feels like the other day when I stepped into the big bling world of Indian IT with glittery dreams !! It feels like yesterday when I got my first paycheck and was on the top of the world. It feels like yesterday that I was told that I was not more a student!! :( . These three years have been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. Having joined the corporate in the times of recession, I had my share of woes. And yes the Satyam Saga made me realize that no matter how big you are , one small mistake can bring you crashing down. Being with Satyam ( now Mahindra Satyam) for the last three years has been a great learning for me. It is here that I got to learn that no matter how hard you work its the "visibility" that counts. phew!! . This place has been an every day coaching center for me. The last year has been especially exceptional. This organization has taught me the most important lesson of my life - It taught me that no matter how tough the situation is, if you have the will to fight back, you can turn the tide in your favor. It is here that I experienced the highest highs and some abysmal lows. The grit to fight back, the mad quest for innovation and the attitude to win is what i learnt in these three years!!

I still remember those training days at office! Decked up in formals, I felt like a clown and was laughing at myself! The three month training seemed to last for eternity and the weekly exams were nothing less than thriller! The weekends at friends place and the parties were the norm of the day. The Chennai - Pondy trips were an integral part of our existence ! Boy did we have fun!! These three years gave me a chance to go places, meet people and make some amazing friends!!

I do not where I go from here. I do not know where I will end up another three years later. All I know is I have one life and I'm gonna live it large!!

Cheers
