Wedding Bells

Wedding bells seem to ring louder than ever in our group. Three of us (yeah… that includes me!) in our MCA batch are getting married this year. Am sure that many others are on the line and yet to declare. hmmmmm….. Boys are becoming men!

IRCON

It was heartening to know that the Indian Railway Engineers are one of the sought after tribes in UK. I met an Indian Railway person yesterday, who said that he has come to UK on deputation through IRCON and lot many of his colleagues are here as well. Apparently, the company who is in charge of maintaining rail tracks in England has outsourced the work to IRCON in India. After the Software Engineers, Doctors & Nurses, it is the turn of Railway Engineers now. Way to go!!

Misquoted ?

“Love your job, but never fall in love with your company because you never know when the company stops loving you.” – Narayana Murthy (Chairman, Infosys)

I got a mail with the above quote. I couldn’t believe that Mr. Murthy would have told this. Any ideas, anyone ?

Another Indian in Bournemouth

What a great feeling it is to meet a fellow Indian on an alien land. After coming to Bournemouth 13 months ago, I met a Indian family for the first time and was greeted with the typical Tamil hospitality. The kesari & bondas, they served tasted like devamirtham and it was a welcome change, particularly after my taste buds got used to the self-cooked food I have been taking for the past several years.
