Okay... So today I got a taste of what actually is corporate world. In order to survive and to get on to the top of the ladder, the following instructions must be taken up seriously:
Rule 1: Pretend that you are really working hard and getting along really nice with your team mates in order to give the expected work. No matter how much you code/how much you test, it is not going to make a hero out of you. The only thing is that you need to show case as really doing work without actually doing it. I always believed that your work should speak for your self. But here you should speak without working.
Rule 2: Know how to communicate with your superiors/subordinates through emails. I swear. If you learn how to reply to an email in a diplomatic way without saying say yes/no then your job is almost done. You can literally make people dance to your tunes using these email communications. Always see that all the important things related to you are well recorded in email communications. Never take things which are done through mouth piece for granted. People here always believe in seeing with eyes rather than listening with ears.
Rule 3: (the most important one) Never ever loose talk with superiors. They may crack jokes and be jovial with you but each and every word escaping from your mouth is being recorded in their clever brains. Even the statements given by you in lighter vein will be noticed by them. They will use it for their advantage at any given time.
Rule 4: See that you will be noticed by most number of people in your unit/out of your unit by participating in extra curricular activities. I know this sounds really dumb and uninteresting to me but you know what? It helps you to get connected with other higher ups in the unit and this would certainly help you at times.
Rule 5: (My favorite one!) Treat the resources under you literally like dogs. By hook or crook/by threatening get the work completed by them. Don’t grant any leaves even when they really need them. Try to catapult them to any location across India where the requirement is there without listening to their concerns/genuine problems. If they do not agree for your plan then escalate the issue and see that it will be a black mark in career progression. You should know how to manipulate people.
Appraisals, salary hikes, corporate culture/ethics/values my foot.. Everything is bull s#It. When they need something, all approvals, policies would vanish in thin air and can be bent as per their needs. When you need something then company rules, policies, etiquettes come into picture. F*** You..
I am not writing all these things out of frustration. This is what is going on inside practically. I feel pity for these kinds of mentalities. GET WELL SOON

Hopeful/less New Year.. 2012
So finally we are now into 2012.. People say that this year would mark the end of the world by December.. Hope it really does.. Want to see how people react and what they do when they know that its going to end forever..
So how was my 2011??
- Started off very well with January being the best part; filled with fun & friends. Time flew by but the memories would remain with me forever. A new year party with Chetan & Mahendra (thanks man.. I miss the batch so much); accompanying a trip down the memory lane to banglore & Chennai with Praneeth, meeting my school friend Sudha; spending time with Praneeth’s friends; catching up my Mysore training friends at Chennai campus.. and etc etc..!! I can never ever forget those memories guys… I know that thank you is a very small word but my English vocabulary is not that good that I can find a suitable replacement for my feelings. Thanks to each and every one of you in person for giving me such memorable moments at the start of year.
- This should have been the first point for me in 2011 but was shadowed by the above one. Got a transfer from Gachibowli campus to Uppal Campus (the biggest & blind blunder committed by me which I always regret)
- People say ‘Everything happens for a reason’. I got a new bike because of the transfer, started driving my car and many more changes in me..!!.. [well you need to take out positives out of everything without which life becomes miserable].
- Got the definitions of many terms.. got rid of many false notions & ideas… learnt lessons for life. Thanks to my close friend(s) & team mate(s) for bringing some sort of brightness & hope in me. I have noted every word from the lesson I learnt from you. I may not reform myself all of a sudden but can assure that I am not the same soul which you people have seen a year ago. I am grateful for all the gyan. Heart filled best wishes for you. I can’t give you anything in return except for praying GOD to give you a happy & prosperous life ahead.. I would surely miss this part very much..
- A confession to make: I know I have bluntly ignored and hurt my close ones.. but that is me.. I may hurt or may not going forward. Extreme apologies for all my senseless deeds but I am happy being like this. This is me.. Love me or hate me
- Acted foolishly, meaningless, senseless, pointless, argued without a reason. I sincerely wish that this is not repeated.
Points to be noted:
- Time & patience are key points to maintain a smooth relation.. Let it be with friends or family. Relation nurtures only when you invest time on it. Otherwise it leads to misunderstandings, gaps, and vacuum.
- Try to become smart & wise at work or at personal front. Be cool & decide your priorities. Don’t take anyone or anything for granted. Sometimes you need to face the truth boldly and be practical
- Some things happen to you which you couldn’t even dream of happening to you ever. Trust me.. this is really true.. not a lie.!
- Heart craves for somethings which you are missing badly but you know that they never come back to you. What ever you do, they are not going to coming back to you again. Instead of getting depressed, smile whenever they flash in your heart & look ahead.
Now let me conclude this: This post from me came after a really long time because of being lazy/disinterested. I still feel like writing many thoughts of me here but don’t remember them or even if I get them can’t really put it in words.
So cheers to myself.. I wish myself a Happy New Year.. I am now ready to face one more year of my life boldly.
Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick.. Don’t lose faith – Steve Jobs.
Hope is the essence of LIFE.. !! CHEERS…!!!
