HDK's 'Mission Bengalooru'

A week of mock exams, java books, exam simulators, threatening mock exam results and am a Sun Certified Java Programmer now. Ooof…what a relief!! My dreams were filled not with flowers, rainbows and stars and seas…but flower brackets, for-loops, if-else and Compilation errors!! And now am back blogging.

One thing that I noticed past week in the 'Bengalooru mahanagara’ was the faster pace in the road maintenance work. I could see bus-stops shifting to lessen traffic congestion, narrows roads getting extended...Great to see the City under busy maintenance! The young Chief Minister of the state with ‘inexperience‘ as his only asset is all in a blastin action.Eventhough the way he acquired power was a bit confusing and frustrating to many people, it’s good to see him in action. Rather than waiting for his turn to come he just created himself a chance for being in the seat of power.

As per the words of our president Dr. APJ Abdul kalam, he has used political politics to attain power and developmental politics after that. Hope he continues to use his strategies to add values to the state. Lets wait 'n watch!

Ek Choti si baath...

Some simple incidents in life sometimes seem very interesting. This is one such for me.

Yesterday, I felt very sleepy and kind of boring at office. Being in bench and out of project has its own merits too… ;) Hope my boss doesn’t catch me dozing off!!

Just kidding boss!! I never sleep at Office. He..He..He..

I thought of going home a bit earlier. So I took a BMTC bus(Bangalore Metro ) back to my home.I got a seat in the bus and it was the only seat that was free. And many of the Ladies seats were occupied by some gentlemen. In one of the bus’ stops an older woman boarded the bus with a heavy luggage. She stood near me with her baggage hoping she could somehow find a place to sit. The gentlemen averted their eyes from her and pretended to gaze through the window, too reluctant to offer her a seat. First I thought they would not have noticed the old lady. People are more selfish than I thought. Nobody wanted to provide a place for her to sit. Something pushed me to offer the seat to the lady. And I did. People were still minding their own business of gazing through the window or pretending to do so. One guy saw me standing through the corner of his eyes and quickly averted again. The way the guy acted seemed so silly and stupid to me. I could not keep from smiling.Being selfish is one’s own wish and I am really not here to justify anything…From a Politician to a BMTC commuter,a place to sit means a lot na?

Million Dollar Colleague…

People working for a public and noble cause are very rare..and seeing someone in action really really good.

Pradeep Sudarshan,one of my colleagues is one of such rare kind. He spends some of his precious time in spreading awarness on Eye Pledging and Donation among people.A few days back he was on air for this noble cause.Radio City, Bangalore's popular FM Station featured his interview in a segment called Bangalore Inspires.

He was splendid and really inspiring and I am sure many would have made up their minds to pledge their eyes.I really appreciate him for being enthusiastic for a good cause.

I know what is running on your mind.You too wanna pledge your eyes. right?
