Family Day ...

So we did had a family day which was absolutely fantastic.
my father, mother were much interested to see the new campus.
we started a bit late from home as usual at around 11 am and reached office by 11:30am.
Unfortunately, as we got late, i had no option but to avoid the traffic on old madras road and so had to take the pathetic road from mahadevpura. believe me this mud road is a true roller coster of sorts.
The first thing we did, was showed my cubicle to parents.
Then had coffee from e-cafe. Then showed the cubicle of my section manager which we had decorated the earlier day. The theme was a cricket ground.
As you might have guessed, the ground was not that picture perfect. actually the earlier day me and my colleagues were visiting nearby wings to check out the cubicle decorations. seeing this, we got inspired and decided to decorate our cubicles. but being lazy , we finally decided to decorate only one cubicle. so we started by around 2 pm and worked on the idea of ground till 12 at night. so u could imagine the quality of work :)
ok so lets get back to family day.
after seeing cubicles, we went along the whole floor to check out other cubicle decorations. had lunch at around 1pm. the veg section had never ending queue, which made me wonder why people insist so heavily on veg food. anyways had biryani which was the best in its bussiness.
then again the idea of enhancing the GUI of cubicle struck to my colleagues.
so then skipped the musical program and tried hard to decorate cubicle with stars and hanging balloons, but in vein.
finally my wife ringed me informing that the prize distribution for best cubicle decoration has been started. but heck, we were never competing for prize!
then finally we all went to the show and witnessed some beautiful skits.
Finally there was the magical show. To be frank, initially i thought it was only for kids. somehow i enjoyed the simple tricks!
the prizes were announced and we got consolation prize with everyone.
lastly we enjoyed sitting on lawn and having choco-bars and then returned to home..sweet home..

My Startup - The beginning

Background The idea struck way back in 2007 when I was playing for IMM team in Bangalore. This group used to organize regular matches and an annual tournament with rival group BTM. We used to have high drama even for the local weekend matches. Surprisingly there was no way to publish results on any cricketing site. So I pushed the scorecard and match details on wordpress blog. Here is the link to the older blog: Marathi Cricket blog From then on, me and prashant - who was also teammate at IMM, always discussed on how to setup such a website on our own. But then I moved to pune and things got slowed down due to lack of time. We were always in touch and the idea to start was still in our heads. Meantime, I was looking at different db schemas and tried to come with one on my own. For almost 3 years, we were not sure how to go for this startup. So we tried our hands with joomla. And once we saw that we can build our own custom module like the way we wanted it, we became s...

On Road Encounters

In pune, there is never a dull moment when one is driving. Everyday, it somehow happens that i get into close shave! I am planning to post all such incidents here. So buckle up, put on ur helmets for this joy-ride, hoping that there wont be any road incident that i wont be able to write down later :) Friday, Jan 7, 2011: we planned to go to baner around 8pm. so started early for office as had to come back home by 7-7:30 pm. The ride to office was again free of any major troubles. Returned home in evening without any major findings. We started around 8:30pm for baner. Took the swargate-tilak road-university-baner route. There was quite traffic till swargate, as usual. There was a jam near durvankur on tilak road. There are basically non-operating signals on this busy cross-road and bikers zip through fast between cars. Was standstill with 2-3 cars ahead of mine. unfortunately, i couldnt see a biker facing me coming from durvankur. he too stopped dead next to my a-pilla...

Metro in pune

Metro in pune (28th Jan 2010) Now officially the govt has given the green signal to this project. As everyone knows, this decision was delayed quite a few times and god knows when it all had started. I find one thing that is common between these projects from pune and bangalore. These projects were approved once the land/flat prices  had reached there peak values. bangalore real estate prices were already were at its peak then and people thought it will bubble down. then came the metro and surely it helped push the prices upwards. So i am trying to understand the bigger picture. Did these cities had congestion problems earlier- yes. Did these cities had high real estate growth earlier- yes Did these cities had heavy migrant population leading to influx of lot of people- yes. Did these cities expanded like crazy- yes. The last one is really the one thing i consider to be the reason behind this. Both these cities expanded in residential boundaries. say now people are ...
