The wonder called Infosys!

This was my very first entry in the Infosys blogs and my tribute to Infy. To mark my completion of FIVE years here are some words straight from my heart!
Just squeezing some time out, sneaking away from work I wanted to put some lines on this blog server and make my mark into the Infy bloggers history books!..

Years of work so close to my heart, late nights, weekends, dead lines, deliverables, overflowing mailboxes, labyrinths of pst's, piling desk, presentations, discussions, appraisals, coding, debugging, extracurricular initiatives, trainings, exams, competitions, untrodden travel assignments.. all resonate in my mind with nostalgia and absolute bliss :)


Just like many of the Infoscions around ..Infosys was a turning point in my life! I still remember the day I entered the Pune Infy campus awestruck and amazed at the infrastructure and beautiful landscape, discipline and culture.. At once I knew I was amongst the God's favorites :)

Every evening when I travel back by the Infy bus and circle the Electronics city I cannot help but admire Narayan Murthy and his team who created this wonder called Infosys. I thank them each day from the bottom of my heart not just because of the nice pay cheque at the end of month..but for creating abundant job opportunities for so many..for giving us all a platform and everything we need to leverage our knowledge and reach out to the world..for providing us a world class infrastructure to work where only sky seems the limit..for spreading smiles into so many homes.. for giving a peaceful sleep to so many parents across India..for putting India on the world map and making us all proud to be Indians! As I travel to places abroad I eagerly wait for people to ask me which company I work for because I love to see the admiration in their eyes when I say 'Infosys' with a twinkle in my eye and with a pride in my heart!

I value my association with this organization because I know its roots are strong and it breeds on intellect and values which are here to stay for eternity..Long live Infosys and the spirit behind Infosys!

Will be back with a detailed post on the experiences from 19th Jan 2004..a historic day for JanSC04!

Heaven can be a place on earth...

Ever wondered where the world is heading to??? yes we are definitely progressing in science and technology..we have made our abodes in the space and have started creating clones..but nations continue to fight amongst eachother, brutal killers are still on the prowl, maniacs continue killing innocent school children, terrorists continue their attacks killings thousands like you and me, in short the evil on our earth is on a forever increase. I hate to see when people hate eachother to an extent that they ruin eachothers life, take each others life, conspire against eachother.. there is so much hate, so much greed, so much evil, so much malice that the world is loosing its humanitarian face.

At an individual level..How hard is it to really really dream or hope of a world where human beings have no grudges against eachother, everyone gets along with eachother, everyone makes an attempt to be happpy with eachother and live peacefully (even if you dislike a person just learn to tolerate and accept our differences as we all have our own ways to live life).. let everyone have equal rights to live a happy life devoid of misery and sufferings..

Imagine a world where everyone tries to help eachother..everyone treats eachother as equals.. everyone tries to support the other be it by imparting education to the poor, helping the needy with some money or spending some good moments of love with the needy and less privileged where everyone is honest and satisfied in life. I sometimes feel like walking down to the anti social elements..the terrorists and the killers and the robbers.. and ask them what makes them so heartless?.. dont they also want to live a peaceful life with a nice loving family?..dont they fear God?.. why be so cruel and accumulate sins?..coz we have just one life to live then why not live it with love and compassion, in peace and harmony? World is so beautiful and so many things are awaiting for you to explore..

I believe all hatered, all cruelity is in the 'mind', we need to cure these people of their angry and derogatory thoughts, they need to be educated and be taught to love their fellow human beings..they need to be given a good direction to live a life devoid of violence and full of love and honesty..
I can go on and on..on this topic.... as I strongly feel to spread the message of peace.. imagine a world without any fear, without any hatred, without any malice..just peace, love and harmony...
