I have been living in Cincinnati for last 9 months now. I had almost forgotten my blog until Google reminded me of it.

Google+
Joined Google+ after Panigrahi invited me there. Yet to explore its various options. Looks good as far as the first impression goes. Lets see if people really give up/reduce Facebook in favor of G+
Looking at the popularity of Facebook I think it will be quite a task for Google+ to penetrate into the lives of Facebook users. People have become quite used to Facebook now and I am not sure if they would be interested in trying out something new. One best part is that since it is from Google, you would get all you Google related accounts linked to it. Although not sure if it would add great value to your net surfing but it will surely be cool to be able to link your Picasa photos to G+ and share with your friends.

In Pune
I am in Pune for quite some time now. Today after 11 years met with Praveen Pillai. Had a good time reliving our old days and discussing about all our batchmates. It is really good to be back in touch with your old friends with whom you shared so many happy memories.
I don't know how long would I be there in Pune but planning to meet up with Anupam Agarwal also.
Just waiting to get back to Bangalore where my family is.

IE 7 Sucks with Blogspot
In IE 7 I was not able to post anything for quite some time now. So here I am posting from Google Chrome. Its a nice browser and all the new elements of blogspot seems to work fine here.
Things have been pretty hectic for some days now. Day after tomorrow I am leaving for Chennai and will be back on 15th-June night.
Vivaan has become too stubborn these days. Its a huge project to make him drink milk twice a day. These days he is into cricket big time. Always like to bat but never bowling.

Weekend that was
Friday evening saw "Book of Shadows - Blair Witch Project 2" followed by "Shutter Island"
Saturday had a good time with old college mates at NGV Club in Koramangala while watching the one sided match of Chennai Super Kings versus Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Sunday went just like that and in the evenings I saw Scream 4 (junk movie).
Hopefully, I might be getting into a project soon, so it might happen that I again disappear from this blogosphere but will try to scribble here once in a while.
Season of paintings - Tried my hands at Water colors and Oil colors this time (for a change). Trying hard to learn water colors but it seems to be really a challenge learning on your own.
Oil colors are fun to work with, but really gets messy and cleaning up requires a lot of effort.
Will try to upload some pictures of my new paintings soon.

Exactly 1 year Back
I had mentioned that I would be returning to the world of blogging soon after spending my vacation at Chhindwara and Bilaspur. That "soon" turned into a good 1 year and here I am after full 365 days. Let us see, whether this time I am able to post regularly.
In summary, after last assignment about which I mentioned in my blog, I was about to fly to US on for a long term opportunity for one of Wipro's customer, but my luck again ditched me and my travel got cancelled. I got a chance to visit UK for the 1st time. I went to Nottingham (3 hrs. away from London) for 2 weeks and had a good time there. As soon as I was back, I got into a new assignment as a Project Manager for Charles Schwab account, responsible for managing the automation project deliveries. I was again supposed to fly to US for this project and again my L1 Visa played the spoilsport and I was stuck at offshore. What an experience it was !! Experience of these 10 months (From July-2010 till May-2011) have been enormous. I do not want to get into the details of these 10 months but in short it was a lifetime experience.
Now again I am back in free pool and searching for projects (specifically for requirements in US)
Let us see how life treats me this time.

7 months were too long
7 months prior I had mentioned about writing something, but 7 months became an year and the year just passed in a jiffy.
So where was I? Of course after coming back from HP (2009 Jun) I was on bench (read "idle") for quite some time and there were lots of UPS and DOWNS . I can write a whole 400 page Novel about the time I spent from July-2009 till October-2009..... But let me not eat up a lot of space here right now
Fortunately (may be I have done something good in my previous birth) I moved to the Automation Practice here in Wipro and then my stint with Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) ODC Started and I started working day and night, night and day from October-2009 last week, time flew and it was 30th April when I came back to life.
After a long and hectic year of LOADS OF WORK & UNLOADS OF WORK I took a well-deserved (thats what my boss said. I don't know whether its true or false) vacation starting 6th May until 24th May.
Here I am back to the blogsphere and will try to keep it updated until I get caught by someone and become a part of the vicious cycle again.
