A few days back, I removed one of my posts from the blog, since a search using my current company name, ie my workplace, yielded my blog post as result.
I just wondered for a moment, was there a way to make specific posts obscure from search engines. Its possible to make an entire blog post entries to be unfound on a search engine. But can it be applied post by post. Not sure, but just a wish :)-

Drove my heart out, on a highway.. What a way to welcome weekend. :)
As per my yesterday plans, I was supposed to drive out on Mysore Road, today. Yes I indeed drove for about 135 kms to be precise. The whole yesterday night, I spent GTA 4, I slept late at around 12 30 am, aware of the fact that I was supposed to leave home by 5 am for the drive.
Sadly, I could wake up only at 5 45 am. So left home at around 6 10 am. As I approached Mysore Road, got an idea of a different route. Thought about driving to DoddaAladaMara, The Great Banyan Tree.
So looked around for Amrut Distilleries and Rarajeshwari Dental College, took a right turn and proceeded towards Ramagondanahalli. I thought of returning back once I reach The Great Banyan Tree. But somehow keep on driving and reached Magadi instead.
The road was good one, lots of curves, overtaking was a bit pain, as well as giving way to others. But quite a nice scenary all around the road. So finally reached a fork where there a sign saying Kunigal 22 kms left, Dabaspet 34 kms right.
Thought and thought and finally decided to go for Dabaspet, since Kunigal way too far. So took the road to Dabaspet and in between took a right turn to Nelamangala.
Unfortunately there were no sign boards, and finding exact route was difficult. Finally managed to reach the National Highway and took a right turn which leaded me to the NICE road. And from there it took less time to reach home.
So this was my driving session for this week, thoroughly enjoyed driving but the heat was a bit of concern.

Sandeep
PS:: Infact, there was nothing to cheer, as I came home, Since the ECS amount clearance on behalf of the car loan for month of Feb 2010, had not happend, HDFC guys had called up saying they will come home in order to collect cheque or DD for that. What crap, None of my fault , ECS problem whose fault, Grrrrr?
Got lots of scoldings from my parents for choosing HDFC bank for loan and clearing the loan from SBI bank.

Obsessed with driving
Not sure, how I came up with the title. But frankly speaking I love Mysore Road. Its simply superb. I have been living in this part of the town since almost 10 years. But its only since 2006 that I fell in love with Mysore Road. I just love to go out on a drive along Mysore road, quite frequently.
There were plenty of such occasions when I have been to places close to Mysore and stuffs, with cousins on a rented vehicle. But these days, I am more obsessed with myself driving along Mysore Road.
I love to drive every weekend along Mysore Road, I feel its the perfect way to unwind after a week's work. The smell of diesel on an early morning coupled with cool breeze plus the superb road. Its just irresistible.
Simply feels superb to hit the highway. So if any of you guys find me along Mysore Road, from Kengeri to Maddur, feel free, lets catch up over a cup of highway coffee.

Eventful day today :)
Today was an eventful day. Spoke to loads of people over the telephone. Overall I am happy, today being Friday and there are absolutely no worries. 2 days of time I get all for myself. Yes, its worth the 5 days of work, is all I can say.
Infact had charged up my mobile battery, but still was about to run out of charge.
There were some good news at the end of the day given by my friends. That even cheered me up.
As of now listening to
> Faith Hill - This Kiss.
> Phil Collins - Something happened on the way to heaven.
Cheers,
Sandeep
PS: Pls don't ask why was I speaking so much over the phone. Yes, the reason is obvious.

5 March, exactly 2 years before, on this very day
5 March 2008, was a significant day. It was on this day that I joined HTS Bangalore. I was very happy on that day. I was moving into a new company, closer to my house, very less travel etc etc.
Now 5 March 2010, I am even out of Honeywell, currently put up at SG , Bangalore. Learnt loads of things at HTS, met loads of interesting people, continued blogging, wrote some crazy programs on my laptop, above all, got a handful of salary, which really improved my economic condition.
Yes, I dreamt about the first step in the direction of higher salary @ HTS, It was fantastic, to have a good pay :) Infact achieved lots at HTS. Thanks to all my colleagues and managers over there. Also met a few fellow employees of HTS who also blog.
But life simply moves on. Here again, meeting some superb individuals, new projects and yes again, these events keep on repeating. Hopefully will continue blogging in future also. LOL :)

Coming home to a superb movie
As I came home today and switched on the television, I was in for a surprise. I was glad to see one of my favorite movies DCH being shown on one of the movie channels. Though I could not see the entire movie, but even bits and pieces of this movie just pushes me an extra mile ahead.
Its been 9 yrs since it released, even today I feel its fresh, I am ready to watch it again and again. Planning to play it the next time I go on a trip with my cousins. Hopefully my wish comes true in a month.

A so called IT Guy... :)-
These days I travel a lot everyday, infact 70+ kms in total. I do not find anything positive to write about my travel, I have posted few blog posts about me cribbing about moi travel. What else can I do.
There is nothing exciting about to blog about my workplace nor this travel. In this post I would like to write about the good manners of the so called IT guy / gal (not sure who it is) who works at ITPL and travels in the same shuttle or BUS (BMTC) as I do, route being ITPL / ITPB 4N, ITPL to Uttarahalli.
Every evening since the distance we travel is around 40 kms people get loads of food parcels and keep on eating all through the journey. At some point of time you will find either one or more people munching and munching on something. I ve no issues with this whatsover as long as you dispose the left over food, or wrappers properly. Properly means in a dustbin in your own house.
But this so called IT guy tends to leave behind a huge chunk of wrappers in the shuttle itself, hoping for BMTC staff to clean it off. Once I even asked that particular person to take his belongings, (I did not know it was left over food), to which the gentleman replied, it is the leftover of what I had eaten and carelessly went ahead and got down leaving behind his left over food wrapper in the bus itself. This is what pisses me off. Literate people littering here and there. No sense of ownership
No wonder its pathetic quality of code that ships from India, because, in every project you will find people littering in and around the source code, no proper ownership and responsibility.
What made me still more angry was, I saw an unattended wrapper of food parcel today morning. Yes, you can imagine, something you have eaten and thrown it in the BMTC bus which is not cleaned up in the morning. Though it was not stinking, but sad to see the pathetic mentality of the so called IT Guy.
You might be wondering, so many people travel in the same bus during the day, how would you say its the IT Guy.?? Well in the evening our's is the last trip. And yes, food parcels in the ITPB bus means its the gift of the IT guy.

Good old memories... yes a get-together of sorts.
After a year and a half finally met my college friend UKN. Sunday was a fantabulous day. Did loads of things apart from coding and playing games. In the evening met UKN and went for a treat at the Best club, shakti hill resorts. It was a long while since we 3 guys (UKN, Kranti and me) went out for a treat together. UKN being at onsite.
Relived few good old memories of college.
So this weekend was superb. Hopefully next weekend shall be the same. Will surely blog about the same.

Abba - Chiquitita
Phenomenal song by ABBA. Have been a fan of ABBA for over 2 decades. Can listen to their music over and over again.. for years..
what say?
Three idiots - Lessons learnt..
Finally I managed to watch the movie 3 idiots. No big deal on guessing how I managed to.
But all in all it was a good movie. Brought back memories of the book Five Point Someone, which I had read some years back. So here I am trying to write 2 - 3 points which I could take away from the movie as lessons.
> Choose whatever you love, as your work. As a result work will be more fun instead of usual work. There is no point being someone else, chasing interests none of which are ours.
> Journey is more important than destination. There is no point of being the best, if there is no fun on the way.
> Third point is about the interview. Till now I have given so many interviews, most of the interviews I have pretended to be someone else. Especially Managerial rounds, I find it very difficult, to clear without bluffing. So hence forth, I shall be more frank.
> Not to take things seriously, If not this job some other job, should be my motto hence forth. There is no point of crying over those companies which I could not join due to interview failures.
Cheers,
PS:: I hope I am an improved man. :P

What is right, what is wrong... ??
I have always keep wondering, what will I be doing in 10 years time. Sometimes, I tend to think too much into this topic. Some of my friends tell me, I am taking too much tension, this guy is tensed, blah blah. I keep on asking myself, what is in store for me over the next 10 years.
I do not have an answer for that. But still I end up thinking and thinking about it, wasting a lot of time.
I have blogged around half a dozen times may be, that I am interested in coding and coding only. I have even blogged about the market conditions here in India.
So has the time come to move out India in search of a new opportunity. I really do not know. I have changed so many companies in the last 4.5 years of work, that I feel, the word outsourcing is just a gimmick.
So many MNC's outsource their work to India, people are losing jobs in other countries because of that, keeps on buzzing here and there.
While doing engineering, I was dreaming that I would get loads of options to code. But but, never mind. I cant continue this sentence.
I do follow a few blogs on the internet. Frankly speaking, So I was going through one of the blogs of an software architect. In the comments section of one of the posts, I found a comment by a person, quoting, that he wanted to do MBA and move out of software jobs since, most of the jobs were outsourced.
The architect's reply was superb, saying there are plenty of jobs which are not outsourced. Yes, its true. The quality jobs are still not outsourced.
So now please tell me, is it right to move out the country in search of better quality jobs, (not sure you may land in that or not, but what there in trying), or persist in this so called Indian corporate ladder.
Not sure, why I am posting this again and again. I feel I am fed up. There is no other place to vent out my frustrations. What can I do?
PS::: I have changed so many companies, but whenever I join a new company in India, whatever may be the salary, the first thought that comes to my mind in the first two months is to quit.
I went to Goravanahalli temple to pray to God, to help me land in a job which I really love. I cannot adjust myself to the company, I can adjust myself only to my job and nothing else.

A visit to Goddess Mahalaxmi Temple @ Goravanahalli
This Saturday, was an awesome one, I shall remember it for a long long time.
Firstly, I went to Goddess Mahalaxmi Temple @ Goravanahalli.
Secondly. I drove a lot, a huge number of kms infact, 300kms infact, that too for Rs 500 worth diesel. Aint it incredible.
So let me tell you about the temple. Goddess Mahalaxmi Temple is at a distance of 110 kms from my house. The roads are superb. No trouble driving till there infact. I joined the National Highway at Jalahalli Cross.
I visited the temple for the first time. Fell in love with the place. I had a special prayer thing to ask to Goddess, the thing which I do not want to blog about here. I hope my prayers get answered. I wish to go the temple once again. Somehow I feel, I want to go there yet again. Not sure when that will happen. But till then good old memories I have.
So let me tell you about driving. I drove for 300 kms. The roads were absolutely beautiful. I had no issues driving. And I got a very good mileage. Though the overall distance was supposed to be ~ 200 kms, I drove a 100 kms extra to Janapada Loka and Kamat Lokaruchi.
But all in all wonderful experience, superb temple. Wish I be there sometime soon.
Cheers,

After so much criticism, finally some appreciation....
You guys might be wondering, what am I writing about. What criticism and what appreciation??
It has something to do with my car, which I purchased 3 months back. The car is Tata Indica Vista Tdi. A decision which I took on my own. I read so much about diesels and their maintenance related stuffs on the internet. Apart from that all my relatives own a petrol vehichle and most of them a Maruti vehicle in particular.
When I told them that I was keen on buying a Indica diesel, there was no one who really said, go ahead. They even told, the car is like a truck and there is loads of vibrations which can be felt. They even started suggesting Maruti car for me. But I was struck on to Indica and purchased the same, inspite of loads of criticism.
Now after 3 months, I met a person , who is driving a Maruti Alto and appreciated Indica Vista infact. He asked me what is the mileage, I told him about the usual city mileage and since I had predominantly driven on the highway recently I told him, for Rs 500 worth diesel, I had covered 265 kms on the highway.
He too appreciated the Indica Vista car for its space and superb engine. And yes when it comes to the Tdi engine, Tata's have the best as far as I know. No regrets about buying an Indica.
Cheers.

And then.. the pantry erupted.. with joy
Today was the final day of the second test match and RSA were almost about to snatch a draw to dethrone India from the #1 ranking. Around 3.45 pm many employees gathered in the pantry, most of them were guessing the test match would end in a draw. I had moved out of the pantry a few minutes back.
Two overs before the end of play, India was able to get the last wicket, and win the test match. And there was a huge roar from the audience in the pantry. That was a superb moment. I could hear the roar from a distance away. What a way to shout guys!!! that too at workplace...keep it going...

Shivaratri - A night to remember
We had an official holiday on the occasion of Shivaratri. So I was at home relaxing and chilling. Over the years I have some superb memories of Shivaratri. I have seen loads of people being awake all through the night.
I was staying at Malleshwaram for the first 15 years of my life, ie during childhood. Growing up in Malleshwaram is always special. That place is a different world altogether. Venkateshwara Bakery, Friends Circulating Library, Malleshwaram Railway Station, Mysore Lamps, Yeshwantpur APMC Yard, Malleshwaram 8th Cross, 18th Cross, Vylikaval, Govardhan Theater. these were some of my favorite spots. I was cycling to many of these places.
It was during Shivaratri on one such superb year, not sure which year. I saw a bunch of my friends playing cricket under streetlight, during the night, just to avoid sleep. I mean aint it awesome. No traffic, no noise, some stray dogs here and there, some drunkards here and there. I too played on the streets infact main roads for quite some time, before going to bed.
You might be wondering why I am writing about this particular thing. This Shivaratri too, after 10+ years, something similar happend. I saw a bunch of people playing cricket under streetlight on a vacant site. I mean, aint it awesome, it indeed brought back loads of memories of my childhood days which I spent at Malleshwaram.
Playing hide and seek in the dark, story telling in the dark, loads of other stuffs. These days, I hate to spend time in the dark, I mean during power cuts, those were the days, when I was wishing for a much longer duration of power cut.
Things have changed. I miss the good old days, Malleshwaram etc etc.
Cheers.
PS::: My favorite spots in the last 10 years.
Kengeri Satellite town, Rajarajeshwari Nagar, Global village surround, Nelamangala above all home sweet home..

Listen to the radio
Long time since I actively tuned into 91.9 FM Radio Indigo. I have not been able to catch with newer rock songs off late. My knowledge about the latest hit rock songs, on the charts is absolutely zero.
[ Most part of my head is pre-occupied with travel from ITPL to Uttarahalli ].
I came home early today, and apart from reading some stuffs here and there I planned to listen to some songs. I wanted to listen to some songs apart from those on my mp3 player or those being played on the radio.
Heard So Far away from me , by Dire Straits, playing on the radio. Not sure whether its a slow rock song, but sure its a evergreen song :)-

Trying to interpret the meaning of OUTSOURCING....
Disclaimer:: The below post consists of only my thoughts and has nothing to do with any person or entity. All similarities are merely coincidential.
Here I am trying to interpret the meaning of outsourcing.. I am looking from a developers point of view. Where a person codes to bring up a new software into the market. Outsourcing can be considered as any software development work which comes to India. Please refrain from thinking about Maintenance or other stuffs.
I feel outsourcing is another gimmick. It is nothing but another management strategy to depict profits made due to outsourcing. Let me explain about the real project / product development. The project needs a lots of code to be written, the foundation needs to be built with some strong and steady code.
On top of this code, the developer codes more business logic or utilities which inturn make use of the foundation code. Every step either the coding related to foundation or code related to business logic, involves lot of design activity.
What I really feel is much of this core work never gets outsourced, I mean to say is much of the foundation is laid in places apart from India, what work comes to India is nothing but writing small business logic on top of the foundation.
Many people feel this should be more than enough. But the truth is the design aspect of this also is controlled else where and is not outsourced to India. What finally comes to our hands is writing of some code, which has been designed and approved by someone outside India.
So what outsourcing is really this ?? Its nothing but a gimmick where management asks to step up profits by outsourcing work to India. In the end you can imagine what work really comes to India.
If this is wrt to development related activity, you can imagine what about maintanence related stuffs.
If such work comes to India, where is the place for a person like me who likes to CODE.
There exists only Managers, and the only organization ladder which exists is the management stream, ie becoming a project manager.
Sad state of affairs, but what to do.

Here I am trying to interpret the meaning of outsourcing.. I am looking from a developers point of view. Where a person codes to bring up a new software into the market. Outsourcing can be considered as any software development work which comes to India. Please refrain from thinking about Maintenance or other stuffs.
I feel outsourcing is another gimmick. It is nothing but another management strategy to depict profits made due to outsourcing. Let me explain about the real project / product development. The project needs a lots of code to be written, the foundation needs to be built with some strong and steady code.
On top of this code, the developer codes more business logic or utilities which inturn make use of the foundation code. Every step either the coding related to foundation or code related to business logic, involves lot of design activity.
What I really feel is much of this core work never gets outsourced, I mean to say is much of the foundation is laid in places apart from India, what work comes to India is nothing but writing small business logic on top of the foundation.
Many people feel this should be more than enough. But the truth is the design aspect of this also is controlled else where and is not outsourced to India. What finally comes to our hands is writing of some code, which has been designed and approved by someone outside India.
So what outsourcing is really this ?? Its nothing but a gimmick where management asks to step up profits by outsourcing work to India. In the end you can imagine what work really comes to India.
If this is wrt to development related activity, you can imagine what about maintanence related stuffs.
If such work comes to India, where is the place for a person like me who likes to CODE.

Usual Weekend
Its been another usual weekend. Nothing new, nothing exciting. I am wondering what to do to make stuffs interesting. I thought let me join a new organization. It will make me more enthu towards my work. But it turned out the other way round.
Drove yesterday for around 150 kms. Was kind of satisfied. But the everyday travel to ITPL coupled with the drive had made me tired to the core. Slept a lot yesterday. Lots to look for this week. Including one holiday on Friday. Yippy.
