reincarnation ....

hello there,

if you remember (and if you had noticed ;) ) i used to write "Java soul trapped into C++ body" in the about me section of my blogspot profile. well well now this soul is set free and found a new java life :D ... finally.

i did not quit Tech M only because i wanted to work on java. there were lot of other personal factors involved which obviously i'd not prefer disclosing in public blogs. otherwise i could have sticked with Tech M for couple of yrs more.

i have joined veritas (symantec) on 1st Nov. the work culture is just too good and so is the work. its a great opportunity to work on a project which is still at the requirements stage. so i get to experience the entire SDLC and with veritas (symantec) its like "sone pe suhaga" :) the technology is obviously java ;) ... so far sooo goood. also the company strength isn't as BIG as that of Tech M. i mean worldwide they might be having huge workforce but in my branch there are only around 300-400 employees. of course they have couple of offices in pune itself. but in Tech M the worldwide workforce might have been equal but in our branch we had around 1.5k-2k ppl. thts quite a number ... but yes working in an office with high # doesnt signify anything. and also it has its own disadvantages. you dont really get that much visibility. so everything has its own +/-

but i miss mumbai badly. yes, i had to move to pune. thankfully prashant (my ncst friend pashya no.1 ... i bet you figured it out the no. 1 thing ... lol ) came to the rescue and am staying in his apartment for a while :) living independently is also a good experience ( actually theres no choice ;) ) but mum-pune isnt al that far so ill be here almost every weekend or at least once in a fortnight. the only major problem with pune is local commute :) public transport is terrific in pune. i wonder howcome noone ever realized the need for improving it.

me, pashya and 1 of his friend had gone for dinner to celebrate my bday :)
also we had gone for team dinner on friday night.

well thats al from me. its been longgggg since i blogged last time. i was busy with all of these interviews and other things. and probably will be occupied for some more time until i settle down properly :) and then unfortunately i dont have a pc @ my home. (i cant imagine im living without net or even a PC :D ) but soon things will be back on track.
till then Adios, amigos
