Blood donation Camp at CI on 27th December

I had written about the activities that are undertaken by our company under CISF (Computers International Social Fund). As part of the yearly activity, we will be organizing the “Blood Donation Camp” on 27th December 2008 . This is Eighth year in succession , the camp is being organized and all our staff members are proud to be part of this noble effort. In fact, we started this years earlier and used to have it on 1st January - which used to give a great feeling for all of us to start the New Year with having done a noble deed, but practical reasons have forced to do it towards the end of year. Anyway the timing doesn't matter, it is thinking of giving back to Society which matters, isn't. Lions Blood Bank has been part of this drive, by organizing their doctors and assistants to come over to our office and be part of this in all these years. The dedication of their staff members is seen to be believed. The camp will be conducted at our Ganga Office premises from 9

back again

It has been a long time since I could write my blog. The reason " I was travelling"...... Yes I had a hectic trip 5 cities 5 days with everyday air travel, hotel check in followed by next day business meeting, check out and then air travel contd... This was a very different and difficult trip, where the climate was extreme and the business climate was also different with all the companies going on budgetary cuts and so many people being let go. The sad part was, it wasnt about the individuals, but about the necessity of the situation that made the companies to take this extreme steps. Here I have to talk about the American business environment - everybody understands that when you are issued the pink slip in these circumstances, it is not about You, but about the situation. So the next company where you seek an employment doesnt look down upon. Also when things get better, these same people can also come back to the company with no ill feelings. However, in India,

whats in a name

What's in a name. If you have little as part of your name, but in reality you turn out to be a Very Great person in life - the naming is a paradox isn't . I am going talk about Ms Virginia Littlejohn , the champion for women entrepreneurship - not only in her native land - the land of opportunities USA, but also globally. She now spends most of her time, in the most happening places or should I say countries China and India where she is currently engaged in launching the WE Connect program as part of the global supplier diversity program. Virginia Littlejohn is CEO and Co-Founder of Quantum Leaps, Inc., which shares women entrepreneurial best practices, and facilitates their access to markets. She is also Chairman of TradeBuilders , Inc., which provides virtual trade missions and online conferencing. Her primary focus for several decades has been advocacy on behalf of women entrepreneurs. Let me try to list down what all positions she had held since 1970 In the late 1

What is life

Today was a different kind of day for me totally. I am going to write about my flat, Deccan Enclave. We have 3 blocks, A, B & C. Each block has 16 houses with 2 wings and each wing with 8 house share a lift, with one flat each on either side of the lift. So both the wings are separate from one another totally, though within being a single block. Please bear with me with the explanation regarding the layout. This concerns about the A block. On the Eastern side, from the morning there has been music, laughter and veda ghosam coming out and we could understand that some new owner is performing " Grahapravesam" (home warming). The western side has a different story to tell. A death had happened yesterday. A 45 year old married woman had died suddenly on Saturday. She has been with her aged parents and getting some treatment (nothing life threatening). Her husband is in New Jersey and at this moment will be doing a pain filled travel trying to reach the side of his dea

something funny

I am reproducing from one of the mails I have received and since it is from a good friend, I tried what it says in the email and found it to be true. This is very strange!!!!! HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT? I guess there are some things that the brain cannot handle. HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT? You have to try this please, it takes 2 seconds. It is from an orthopedic surgeon............ This will boggle your mind and you will keep you trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It's preprogrammed in your brain! 1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......) and while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. 2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction. I told you so!!! And there's nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done
