Was it a dream ..

Not really, i just did it,Yeah i'm so glad to have given my first proper corporate presentation to a distinguishable audience, i'll have to live upto my blog title,cant help it hehehe...,two finance DGMs of the company (where i am doin my SIP),the company secretary, couple of others guys from finance dept and a bunch of mgmt trainees.We had put up a good show thanx to my SIP partner(any guesses ??) for all the brain storming sessions we had, they did come handy when tacklin Qs from audience.
Well prepared for a presentation is battle half won, knowing the audience and practise takes care of the rest. 1 year or to be precise 2 years back me giving a presentation to ,forget about senior mgmt but to my peers was (ruled out even in my wildest dreams hehe..) well nigh impossible.
But the grind at ICFAI B-School(IBS) did get the best out of me.The ICFAI way of teachin thru case studies and presentations made me a much better presenter than i was an year ago ...still a along way to go, but i'm slowly improving by every presentation i make.thanx to IBS n SecF for bein patient n supportin me all along...i feel so emotional now, hehehe...

I want to quote something from one of my fav music shows on Idiot Box, "BACKWARDS" on SS Music
"If u can't do it backwards,its not worth doin it"...free to think as u like, all u perverts.

Citi Experience - Part-1

Hello ppl i'm back screaming with vengeance....dont mistake me , check this incident ,hav to be patient ,guess this experience of mine would definiltey be helpful to all future corporate employees(dont get tempted when something comes easy n free of cost).

when i joined my first job with Citicorp Overseas Software Ltd a.k.a COSL (100 % owned subsidiary of Citibank) Wow !! wonderful feelin workin with Citigroup No.1 fortune 500 company uhh?, yes it was indeed a nice experience.Not only a good brand ,amazing work culture and well balanced pay packet,and a free salary account with minimal formalities (obviosly i was an employee of citigroup).

But what followed was an entirely diff experience. Had my induction at mumbai centre(a wonderful experience ,would cover it someother time).A salary account opened in mumbai but soon after training was over, got posted at Hyd,then another A/C opened at lightening speed in Hyd, i was enjoying the speed n the ease at which A/Cs were being opened(costing absolutely nothin).I had left some money in my mumbai A/C ,to be frank just forgot about it,money was pouring in from everywhere so never bothered to check my mumbai A/C.
After a few months thanx to a frnd of mine i realised i hav an A/C in mumbai and was shocked to see that every month my A/C was being looted.

200 bucks out of my account as service charge everymonth chooo mantar!!!, this has happened for a few months with out my knowledge and no intimation what so ever.The reason when contacted the bank - was that i'm not maintaining min avg daily balance(thought what on earth is this crap).when i enquired why was i not informed ,answer is it is printed in small italics on the back of the A/C statement which i never recvd.And why i was not informed on mail or phone ,bcos they giv info only when asked ,on a need to know basis...dogshit(looting ppl openly) and what i did is history.
(Realised better late than never closed the account imm savin whats left)

So the morale of the story never neglect ur past salary and savings A/Cs .. make it a point to close all the inactive accounts or maintain minimum what ever shit has to be maintained , but still u r giving an oppurtunity to someone to embezzle ur money, by not operating ur A/C for long periods.

To be continued .......

First Lap

Finally i emerge from my hibernation to make a difference in my own small way.

i dont know since when, but i always wanted to write a journal, was too lazy to actually start one.
donno why this sudden urge, i felt i should start sharing my escapades with out much delay,
starting with my SIP @ IBS n hope to take this blog into the last year of my MBA (hehe.... i meant 2nd Yr) and beyond.

Havin finished with the preface, It's finally time to document this experience. I work (SIP) in a manufacturing company in Hyderabad's definition of a 'Industrial zone' called Balanagar. Very well maintained area, lots of greenery. Nothing wrong with it(ISO 14000),air-conditioned and wonderful guide. But getting there...is a different story altogether. Ergo, this piece.

this first post is direct result of my day out at SIP and my adventurous journey to the company from home. darn !!! the traffic scenario in hyd is bangloring (hehe...i think only B'lore is worser than hyd),imagine its coming from a person who has spent most of his life in hyd.This is just feb ...believe me tough times r ahead,the jams coupled with scorchin heat of hyd summer will be deadly.God help the guys who r into field work for thier SIP.But believe me God is a great normaliser ...my project seems very exciting n challengin (finance) with a good guide n good company and the best part we dont necessarily have to work from the company everyday.

happy news ... we will be movin to new campus in certainity ..hurray.

me shuttin down .....until next time take care.
