Learnings All the Way

Today at Electronic City Campus of Wipro there was TeS Confluence -
A two day program organized by the Testing Services Group of Wipro Technology. I have never been to this event in last 2 years but this time I thought of going there and see whats it all about.

2 Very Interesting talks were there which I enjoyed thoroughly:

1. Non-linear growth of IT Companies -- Believe me, even I was not very comfortable with the topic because it seems to be pure management jargon like topic but when Prof. Rishikesh of IIMB started talking I got really interested and involved in the talk. It was all about Growth of IT with Value Addition and Innovation.

2. Competency Development in IT Services - It was totally un-related to the topic but extremely interesting because of the person who delivered it. Prof. Sadagopan Founder Director or IIIT Bangalore. He is an amazing speaker. I had always wanted to listen to him once since I came to Bangalore in the early 2000. Many astonishing facts were put in front of us by Professor and time and again he emphasized on the Importance of Testing as a Career which was really good and would have motivated many developers (so-called) to get into the Testing Domain without thinking twice.

Disappearing Act

Wondering where did I disappear?
Suddenly Subodh is busy these days. With so many things lined up one after the another.
@ Work: Pretty busy these days as the testlink tool is behaving wierdo after a lot of trial and errors for upgrading the version from 1.7.0 to 1.7.4. Still breaking my head. Also the last regression test cycle has started after a long delay and the team needs to finish it off in 2 weeks flat. With Prashanth's absence I need to take care of all the status updates and telecons for another 7-8 days. Going to be pretty hectic.

@ Home: Vivaan & Vivaan - Keeps me busy most of the times.
I also met one of my very old colleagues Vivek Shrivastav. He is one of the good friends I have from the IMR Global days. He is still in the same company (Now its called CGI) and had come to bangalore for some official visit. I went to Purple Haze on Friday night (No, I didn't take any alcoholic beverages there) and then again met him on Sunday night at the good old Madan Pub.
Chatted for a long time reliving our good old days and remembering all our pals in IMR Global.
I got too nostalgic and started remembering my days at IMR. All the good and bad things which we did in Bombay during those days.

Boring ......

@ Office
The life at office is getting real boring these days. Nothing much to work on and nothing much to do ..... just trying to keep up the stamina to sit for 9:30 hrs. in the office.

@ Home ..... My son will turn 5 months on 5th April ...... He is getting more and more naughty everyday ...... Each moment passed with him is truly an amazing experience ...
