The biggest chicken n egg story in my life will remain this mystery: did I always love travelling and hence land up with this current lifestyle I lead or am I just soooo used to travel that I think I love it?!!!
I still remember way back in primary and middle school when M used to just wait for summer hols so that she could travel looong to meet her grandparents while I used to look forward to hols just to read tons of comics, enjoy icecreams, cycling, cricket and watch loadsa TV...yep, travelling to meet cousins / visit hill stations was fun, but not for more than 5 days...holidays meant lazing around in home sweet home!!!
Anyways, the crux remains that I've discovered over the last few years that I truly enjoy travelling...and I do get quite a lot of opportunities to travel and further reinforce my thoughts...
The most charming mode of travel will remain trains to me...Chn and B'lore railway stations have become second home...(like I keep telling S, anything more than 6 hours I get, I'm in Chn...and like I keep telling everyone, if Laloo has turned around Indian Railways, he definitely owes atleast a small thanks to me ;))...
While I'm usually gloomy on the way back to B'lore, the journey from B'lore to Chn is greatly looked forward to...everything right from the hurrying home from work, forgetting to take the ticket printout, getting reminded by family, gulping down a fast dinner, breaking my own records for speed of packing, contemplating on the mode of transport to the station, fighting with the auto fellow, fighting the auto noise levels and screaming over the phone, running into the station, having that hot cup of milk, saying hi to those invariable acquaintances you run into and alas, putting that middle berth up and juuuust crashing...whew...
Off late my exposure to sub urban trains has increased too...and thats not just through real travel in them but through "virtual travel" as well!! Almost everyday, I experience the train journey from Chetpet to Tambaram and gosh, I do look forward to it :)...overcrowded common compartments, sometimes crowded first class compartments, women who jump off the train before it comes to a complete halt, drunken men who tell you their life stories, bad networks and rough handoffs interrupting an engrossing conversation, the flower girls at the station and the woman's voice over the speaker that doesn't seem to tire of the monotonous anouncements it has to make...
Like S told me recently, its not long before I stop travelling alone all over...hmmm, it's been a joy ride so far and its only going to get a lot lot better!!! Can't waaaait :)
3 hours to go for my next train journey ;)!!!...

Technically Tactical...
This one goes to Arjun, his undying love for technology, and to all the techie stuff he has got for home, to all my friends who embrace technology and to Tillis (Technology Illiterates) like Vishak and me ;)!!!
“Love technology” – that’s what my bro has to say about himself in Orkut. This statement has led me back to my old belief that my brother got mixed up with some other baby in the hospital when he was born. For, the statement is as far away from my heart as it can get, or so I thought till around 6 months ago…
Mind you, I am an electronics engineer. But I am one of those engineers who always knew at the back of her mind that she would not end up doing anything concerning microprocessors, electromagnetic waves and the works. One of those people who flamboyantly turned down IT jobs because of the “monotony” of the job profile and the “bonds” they came with (read the scare of getting stuck up with something you can’t stand). One of those who shyed away from technology so much that she didn’t take a single IT / systems paper during her management studies and convinced herself with self induced logical reasoning (“Who wants to get stuck up staring at a computer screen for 8+ hours everyday?”… “IT jobs stagnate beyond a certain level”…)
…And I happily strode into the world of sales. All was well till April 10th 2007, when my boss sits me down explaining the next assignment the organization has thought of for me. Spearheading technology initiatives for the organization. Why me? Because they feel, amongst other things, that I am comfortable with technology. This was the joke of the century to me. I candidly admit that all I do with technology is e-mail, chat and use MS Office applications…not to forget the “effective mobile technology” usage of course. I am told by our VP that all they are looking for is above average IQ. The little amount of self respect I have doesn’t allow me to wriggle out of the situation. The only thing I thought to myself was “Kadaiseela ennayum IT professional aakittaangale” (vis-à-vis Satyaraj’s trademark dialogue in “Amaidipadai” where he says, finally he too has been made a politician!!!)
To my credit, I took the role up with a positive mindset and thought to myself that this was the right time to get over the “technology aversiveness” I had developed over the years. Better to be forced into getting comfortable with something than try to evade it all your life. Plus at this day and age, it’s a shame to say that you are technophobic :P…
Looking back, the last few months have taught me a lot of things about technology in general…lemme sample a few…
Garun’s Golden Rule: “Using technology effectively is simple: All processes that are redundant need to be automated. This should be the guiding principle.”
I have found this rule very useful, atleast in my project. I simply look at tasks that keep repeating and then think through how we could get the work flow associated with the task automated. Is it always possible? I initially used to ask this question to my vendors and techie team and after some time, the answer to this question led me to my second important learning.
Kavi’s Gyanoday: “In technology, nothing is impossible”
Once in a vendor meeting, I requested a particular change in the application to which the tech support guy immediately said, “That is impossible”. He was immediately corrected by his project manager who butted in with, “Don’t say it is impossible, it is extremely difficult.” Requirements might be difficult, might involve unimaginable number of man hours of effort but they are almost never impossible and there are alwaaays ways to work around.
If I am not traveling, I sit in front of my comp for 8+ hours everyday. I send a lot of forwards. And I blog. Welcome to the world of IT, huh?!! ;)

Cricket...Crazy Kiya Re...:)
We thought it was all over. Post the Hansie Cronje, Azharuddin n Jadeja episodes and all the controversies over betting and match fixing, we saw a dampening of enthusiasm and fan following among cricket lovers of "our times"...
And then came the Soccer Mania! Especially after last year's World Cup, we thought everyone had switched loyalties from Cricket to Football...
Well, thats what we thought. With World Cup 2007, here we go again...Cricket is back...back with a bang...and you, me and everyone else is finding the game too charismatic to stay away from!!! Its a pleasure seeing all those TV showrooms with crowds peeping inside to follow the match!...and everyone you know who is out of home is calling and smsing to family and friends to get match updates!! Guess somethings jus don't change!!! (thank God!!!)
The other day, in a train, I noticed that co-passengers were all celebrating that India was all out for a measly score of 191...was really wondering whats wrong with them...I mean whats in that to rejoice about? Then I heard on and figured out why everyone was so happy...it was because Pakistan was bowled out for an even poorer score...was actually shocked seeing the "Indian Mentality" first hand...Again, guess somethings JUS DON'T CHANGE!!!
Have fun watching the "Gentleman's game"!!!:) And heres wishing the "Blue Tigers" all the best!!!

Prayers n positive thoughts...
Do prayers really work? If something happens what makes it happen?? Is there something called destiny??? If we write our own destiny why do somethings that we yearn for happen while others don't, however hard we may try?????
I have perpetually been seeking answers to these questions...n true to my Libran nature, I find myself oscillating betwen contradicting viewpoints...
One of our "Electromagnetic and Field Theory" professors had once told us something very interesting...that according to the "Electromagnetic theory of the Universe", everything on earth is either positive or negative energy...and "God" is powerful because God is the conglomeration of all positive energy on earth...a "Temple" gives you immense peace of mind and makes you feel confident and happy because a Temple is a place where all prayers accumulate and prayers are nothing but positive thoughts, or in other words positive energy. In other words, a high level of positive thoughts, positive energy and prayers could very well cause the objective (say, (doing well in an exam, getting something done) of that energy or that prayer to be achieved...
Another perspective is that everything on earth is predetermined and how much ever you want something to happen or not happen, what has to happen, WILL happen (to quote Murphy)...basically Destiny...
Yet, there are many a time when one feels all you require to achieve something or to get something is very strong will power and confidence...you don't need to pray for it, just execute what your heart desires and it will be yours!...your life is how YOU write it...
While I continue seeking some light, I can only "hope and pray" some of you could bring in more clarity with your views...

Khalbali ye Chulbuli...
Talk about effective advertising! Guess Levers have (atleast at a small level) got their act right with the new Clinic Plus Chulbuli promo... for one thing, you can find the "all new" (well am sure nuthins new abt the product!) Clinic Plus with a free "Chulbuli" doll and on top of that, the ad has appealed across age groups...found a girl last week in a store pulling her mom's saree insisting she gets herself a Chulbuli!!...now thaz still ok, I was shocked when my dad suddenly started calling me Chulbuli (just because he likes the cartoon!...though I do run around a lot like Chuls n as a result my hair does get real dirty real soon!!)...
So how did they chalk out Chulbuli? Heres something interesting I found...
Madurai, Feb. 22 Hindustan Lever Ltd (HLL) recently held a painting and cartoon competition around an imaginative character `Chulbuli', representing the quintessential Indian girl, in 10 schools in the city. Cash prizes totalling Rs 2 lakh were awarded besides participation certificates and gifts. According to the General Manager of HLL, Mr Rajaram Narayanan, the competition revolved around mother-daughter relationship and was aimed at inculcating good habits in children. Initially the competition was introduced in Karnataka covering 2 lakh children. Encouraged by the success, the company held the competition across six cities in Tamil Nadu, including Madurai, reaching out to 2 lakh children, he added.

Anyways, I noticed that off late a lot of advertising has been targetted at younger audiences and, a lot of it has clicked! BIG TIME!! Levers again did a great job with Pears Junior soap (with the toy free n the catchy jingle!). You can still see the non-offer stock lying on the shelf, while kids are trying to expand their "Pears toy collection". Even products where the kid is nowhere close to being the consumer a lot of "kid appeal" has been used like in Surf Excel (the Daag Achche Hain 10/10 campaign), SBI Life Insurance (with the naughty grandfathers and the "mature" grandsons) and tons of other such ads (given my limited exposure to TV)

Guess its to do with the inherent charm n cuteness kids bring with just their presence!!!

And...I fell in love again...
Valentine's Day...its always been spent quite interestingly...not in the way you might imagine, but simply because, every year its been a different setting, different company (or no company at all!) and the day never ceases to amuse and amaze me...this time was no different and I simply could not imagine heading home without writing about it!!!
This morning I woke up just in time to get ready and run out of home and it was only in the bus that I discovered that I was wearing a green salwar...now for those of you who don't know, colours have a special significance on V day...will give the "Colour Coding Guide" after this post!!...this realization made me laugh and took me into a flashback...
V-days in college were aaalways spent with the 4 of us "Kadalais" (thaz m, j , s n me) color coordinating and spending the day roaming around campus, doing nothin!...can never forget the final year V-day when we spent the whole day lifting benches from our classroom to an auditorium as CTS was visiting campus and had this massive "aptitude test" in that hall...the whole batch was involve in this "activity" and it started off with a lot of grumbling but very soon we learnt how to have fun doing the job!...that sure was a wierd way of spending the day though!!...
I caught myself smiling at those times and the bus stop brought me back to the present...well, today was spent at work, the whole while, but did notice some cute things thru the day...
It happens only in India...
First there was this traffic policeman at the signal where I was to meet my salesmen and I ask him "Yeshwantpur Police station elli?" He informs me that I am standing right outside the place and I jus give a sheepish smile..."hehehe"...
Guess the guy was really bored in the morning, he begins to chat up...he compliments me on my knowledge of Kannada language and asks me where I am originally from...post the Cauvery verdict I am paranoid about spelling out my origin and so I say "Kerala" hoping he doesn't know much Malayalam!!...he goes on to say "Only these Tamilians never learn our language, all others are very flexible..."...the Tamilian in me gets highly defensive and I regret my earlier lie...grrrrrrrr...
It is amazing how even strangers in India can ask the most personal questions...I am taken aback when the traffic cop asks me what my salary is and I have had enough by when he asks me "who I am waiting for on V-day"...gosh...I cross the road...
Post a short meeting with my salesmen, 1 of them asks for a minute of private talk with me...he starts off saying "Madame, today is Valentines Day" and pauses dramatically...I roll my eyes wondering whats comin up (c'mon, its human tendency)...then he goes on "Can I get off work early? I badly need to meet my girlfriend...its been months..." I find this highly amusing and obviously ridiculous and just tell him he can buzz off after finishing whatever work hes been asked to do...
2 hours later, I am walking by the road and find a postman struggling with a couple of heavy bags, overflowing with cards...he pants his way thru and irritatedly picks up a few envelopes that had fallen down from the huge bags...I cannot control saying "Valentines Day alwa, adhe..." (Its because of V-day) and hes like "Havudu" (yeah thats true)! I really had no idea V-day had penetrated so much into Indian culture!!
Life is so full of love and laughter. Just when you think everything around you is dull and boring, just when you are very down about life, life has a way of bouncing back and surprising you in some small way...I got my share with a wonderful day of sales! To finish off heres one of my usual Sales Snippets that made my day...
There was this particularly grumpy medical shop owner this a'noon(one of those "know it alls" who can't stand anyone telling them what they should do), a real biggie I badly wanted to crack... after a lot of persuasion and my stereotype tactics, I manage to get a decent order from the guy...and then when I was about to leave, he says "Aap aisa hee sales karte rahenge to..."
I begin to frown and interrupt "to?"...he continues..."to sales bahut acha ho jayega"...
Obviously, I smile...Hmmmmmmmmmmm...
...And....I fell in love with life again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Valentines!!! God Bless!!!

Its been ages...
Its been ages since I updated my blog and its been ages since I wrote this piece I have posted below... basically had time off at home after very long so just ended up finding lots of stuff I had written as a teenager... was laughing over all the articles, poems n even this short story I once started writing!!! :)... anyways heres a poem I wrote around 1999 or 2000... I wrote it just before our exams and mailed it to some of my close friends!!... its the unedited ORIGINAL poem so u can join me in having a hearty laugh...
BEST OF LUCK
There are times when life has made me wonder
"God ,do you really like me?"...I have pondered
These are the times when life has been hard on me
...the times when Almighty's power I fail to see
Then when I'm in a clearer state of mind
I reassure myself that God is very kind...
It's just that sometimes things don't work our way
Thats God's way of reminding us that we have to pray
To help him out,God has given man a gift
A special thing,which could give your spirits a lift
A gift that would love and care till the end
And that, is what he calls a FRIEND!!
All those times when I've needed support
When I need to sail thru the mighty ocean with my tiny boat...
My friends have helped me cross the tide
They serve not only as my friend but also a reliable guide.
I don't know how good I am at giving comfort
But I would like to tell you I'm always there when you are hurt
And when things eventually work out
Thats when our friendship has born it's fruits!!!
So,here's wishing you all the very best
Put your efforts and hardwork to test!
And at the end when you acheive success,
I'd be really proud of you I must confess!!!
Here's wishing a REAL special friend best of luck!!!
