Monday morning 9:30 a.m. A sudden meeting arranged by the Project Manager Nataraj with Aravind

Nataraj : Aravind...you are going to take up this project

Aravind : No Nataraj, This is a DB intensive project. I am not so strong in Oracle.. I will not be able to take up this assignment

Nataraj : Come on, you had earlier worked in Oracle related projects

Aravind : I had, but I havent done much on that, further I havent touched any stored procs or table designing. My tasks were limited only with Java coding. Please consider me for any Java related Projects

Nataraj : Aravind, I have immense faith on you, that you will able to ramp up soon and turn it around coz I have seen how efficient you were in your previous projects

Aravind : Nataraj, come on faith is different, reality is different. The time for delivery is so short...Ramping up within such a time is not going to be easy and further It will only mean that I would have to slog. I definitely dont want to slog

Nataraj : Dont put down yourself like this... A winner is one who takes up challenges and who dares to travel the path he has never come across and do that succesfully

Aravind : But, but...

Nataraj : No but or if... you have to accept this challenge. This will definitely help boost up your career dreams. I feel among our Chennai DC folks, you are the best person to take up this project. Please take it up.

(the Argument continues...At the end of it, Aravind was somehow cajoled into taking up the assignment)

Three months later.... Same Monday morning, Same 9:30 am. Another meeting with Nataraj and Aravind, this time it is Aravind, who has called up Nataraj for a sudden meeting.

Aravind : Sir, I wanna take up this project

Nataraj : No, this is a DB intensive project. You are not so strong in Oracle. You will not be able to take up this assignment

Aravind : Come on, I had earlier worked in Oracle related projects

Nataraj : Yeah, you had, but you havent done much related to Table designing or Stored procs and mostly your strength had been in Java coding. We will consider u for a Java related project in the future.

Aravind : Nataraj, I have immense faith in myself.. I can ramp up in pretty short time and will be able to turn it around. You would have seen how efficient I have been in my earlier projects

Nataraj : Come on, faith is different, reality is different.... The time for delivery is very short...Ramping up is not only difficult but will also mean that you would have to slog. The company doesnt want you to slog like that.

Aravind : Nataraj, understand. This opportunity will help me realize my dreams. I feel among our Chennai DC folks, I am the best available to take up this assignment. Please give it to me

(The argument continues...At the end of it Aravind was firmly told, that he will not be considered for the assignment)

Aravind just cant understand, why his PM who was so appreciative of him just three months ago, who expressed immense faith in his capability, is now expressing doubts on him. Huh...He is hearing the same dialogues what he was telling to his PM 3 months ago........ Didnt he change himself over the last 3 months and accepted the fact that to be a winner, he should dare to travel along the path that he has never done beofre and win in that...Why is he denied that opportunity?..Afterall there is no difference between the project meeting 3 months ago and now except that in the previous case the role for Aravind was that of a offshore team member while the current assignment, that Aravind wanted was that of an onsite coordinator at California, USA. Does that matter...he thought........ What do ya think? Does that matter????

பொங்கலோ பொங்கல்!!!!

[ For those who are unable to read the following in Tamil, for a variety of reasons :) Here is a transliteration in Tanglish :) ] எல்லாருக்கும் வணக்கமுங்கோவ் ... தை பிறந்த இந்நாளில், பொங்கல் என்ற நன்னாளில், அனைவரது வாழ்வும் சக்கரை பொங்கலாய் இனித்திட, உளம் கனிந்த இனிய பொங்கல் வாழ்த்துக்கள் ... Happy Pongal Happy Pongal என்று யாரவது வாழ்த்து தெரிவித்தால் , தமிழ் திருநாளிற்கு ஆங்கிலத்தில் வாழ்த்தலாமா என்று தமிழனின் தமிழ் பற்று பற்றி கட்டுரை எழுத ஆரம்பிக்காமல், வாழ்த்தும் அவரது நல்ல உள்ளத்தை மட்டும் எடுத்துக்கொண்டு நன்றி தெரிவியுங்கள். திமிங்கில தமிழை தமிங்கிலம் (தமிழ் + ஆங்கிலம்) என்ன செய்யும்? வாழ்த்து தெரிவிக்க மொழி முக்கியமில்லை, தான் பெற்ற இன்பம் அனைவரும் பகிர்ந்து கொள்ள வாழ்த்தும் மனம் ரொம்ப முக்கியம்..என்னை பொறுத்த வரை அது தான் உண்மையான தமிழ் உணர்வு :) ஏதோ என்னால் முடிந்த ஒரு சிறு கவி"தை" :D பொங்கட்டும் பொங்கல், சுவை நிறைந்த இனிய பொங்கல் உங்கள் இல்லங்களில், மகிழ்வான இனிய உணர்வு உங்கள் உள்ளங்களில், திக் திக் என்ற நிலை மாறி வாழ்வு தித்திக்க, பச்சரிசி பாகோடு அடுப்பில் உலை

Vaazhga Valamudan !!!

P.S : This is a serious post :) For the past 1 week, you would have observed there is a rise in the number of tragic events happening, so many deaths, accidents, bomb blasts etc., So many ppl are suffering around us, around the world... What could we do..... that is the question I guess everyone of us would be having in their mind..... Yep... unless something is affecting me, what could I do? or even if I do something, how would it matter... Konjam think panni paartha egapatta questions varum :) But athukkaga onume pannama iruntha the guilt feeling will bcome a guillotine feeling as more and more ppl around us suffer.... To enjoy our life therefore it is a necessity that ppl around us also are happy, or atleast free from troublesome worries So I am planning to start a new intiative "Vaazhga Valamudan" initiative. This is like a prayer club... I request, those who are passing by my blog, pause for a moment and utter or atleast think "Vaazhga valamudan" for the people
