An outing with Testing Champions

Patel's Inn

I had a wonderful Friday today. My Team organized one day Team outing to "Patel's Inn". It was almost a year we had fun by going outing.

We all planned to meet in office then start our journey. After reaching the resort we were treated with a Welcome Drink - "Lemon Juice" :-(

I Enjoyed playing shuttle, Tennis, Badminton and cricket and Snooker  too.

Followed by yummy Lunch we went swimmming pool just to watch cute kids who came for Summer Camp.

The most impressive thing in my outing is "Karting".One shoule not miss the thrill of "Karting" while Visiting Patel's Inn,. Most of my Team mates got injured, by placing their hands on Engine mistakenly - which made us to scare for driving Karting. Me, Anitha, Vanisree, Harsha we all four girls took the Track. My aim was not to come first, but not to dash any corners. I enjoyed the ride and I came 2nd.

we wiped our day with an evening snaks and memorable incident of "Go Karting". Of course with many good friends.

A Mesmerizing trip to Nandi Hills

"A journey of a thousand miles

must begin with a single step" - Lao Tzu

I have been staying in Bangalore for last 2 years and have never been to Nandi Hills (summer palace of Tipu Sultan.). Me and my friends decided to get up early and go to Nandi Hills in the morning...

We searched in google, and found the bus to Nandihills departures at 8:30 AM from Majestice. We reached Nandi Hills by 11:00 AM.

By the time we reached the footstep of Nandi Hills, it was very sunny. As as we started climbing up, we saw monkey (our ancestors) coming and taking the foods, Pepsi from our hands. Even we lost our snaks pack :(


First thing we saw in Nandi hills was Tippu’s lodge. An very old lodge. It was like my grany house. we saw many cute baby monkey . Forgettable incident is "Shiv Parvathi Temple" whic has very small enterance. Even sanju has to bend to go inside.

We reached "Brahmashrama" cave which is being said that Sage Ramakrishna Paramhamsa meditated here once upon a time.

I took a photo near to "Danger Board" . D for Danger. D for Deepika :). We roamed around aimlessly for almost an hour in search of Nandi god. At last we reached "Nandi bull".

After taking a few walks away from Nandi bull we arrived a spot called "Tipu's Drop" from where Tipu Sultan used to throw his prisoners who were sentenced to death.

It was a bit disappointment for me, as I imagined a foggy, cool climate like ooty. But Enjoyed being out with friends after so many years. I planed to take my sister for next visit.

Am I lucky or Un-Lucky???

"A person without any aim in life is like a rudderless ship"

My aim is (WAS) to become

• an air hostess When I was a kid.

• Sports player when I came district 2nd in 100mts dash.

• A scientist when I came across the inventions of Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, Louis Pasteur

What Next +2? - The question that bothers all students in +2.

I used to escape by answering,

"A chemistry teacher" to chemistry Sir .
" A Maths teacher" to Maths sir.
"Tamil Miss" to Tamil Sir. :-)

Great people Say, before you choose an aim answer these 3 questions:

1) what do u feel like doing?
2) what are u interested at?
3) which subject can u do better?

My answer for all the three were

1) Anything, but not a Software Engineer
2) Anything, but not a Software Engineer
3)Anything, but not a Software Engineer

My desire was to become an Mathematician.
My dad too encouraged by saying, you are good at Maths, you can go a head.
As always Maths Lecturer are in demand in all Engineering and arts college, I joined Bsc Maths by negotiating BE-ECE seat in KSR college.

My inspiration - D.Vishwanathan (DV) sir, who teaches maths relating to Real world.
Staffs encouraged me to do MCA after Bsc by seeing the marks. Everybody in my class Joined T.I.M.E and Brilliant Tutorials.

I asked myself . . Why am I not pulled towards IT Field??? Why MCA craze was not with me??

my focus was on MSc Maths. Days Passed.
5th Sem study holidays. As usual watching TV and sleeping.
I received message from my class mate "Campus interview for HCL on OCT 18th"
Simply I took Written Test and was short listed. Interview was scheduled next day - Oct 19th -2006.
My mom advised, At any case you should not feel bad in case you are not selected.
I shook my head and attend without any dream.
:-) :-) I was placed in HCL.

Later in HCL, IBM and Wipro.

I remembered the days with Kiruthika. We both used to sit, think and note down the points for "Drawbacks of software engineer"
After that day, I reversed the paper and started writing the advantage of "Software Field"

90 / 10 Principle -It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).

Principle

10% of life is made up of what happens to you...

90% of life is decided by how you react.

What does this mean?

We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.

We cannot stop the car from breaking down.

The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off.

A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%.

The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.

How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light., but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.

Let's use an example.

You are eating breakfast with your family.Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just what happened. What happens when the next will be determined by how you react.You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over.

She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work.

You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.

Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?

A) Did the coffee cause it?

B) Did your daughter cause it?

C) Did the policeman cause it?

D) Did you cause it?

The answer is " D".

You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened.

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "It's ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.

Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off)

Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job. The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it.

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have.. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…

And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

Enjoy your day with a heart of gratitude.

 A True Story 

 

A lady was always facing abortions..When the fetus gets to be 2-3 months old she loses it. This happened several times over. The couple went to check with many doctors and at last one of
the doctors examined the dead baby and found that the baby's body cells kept dying as the baby was growing in the womb until he/she could not survive.
This was because her uterus was affected by Cell phone Radiation...

The doctor told her she now has no chance to give birth to a healthy baby because the radiation has affected her uterus so that the major portion of the cells in her uterus have already died. This happened because she had been keeping her cell phone in her working jacket so that the phone rested against just on the right spot of the uterus... She had been wearing it like this for a few years.

Please beware of this and take note if you don't want what has happened to this woman to happen to you.

Dearest friends & family members --Please do not ignore cell phone radiation which will damage our health or body organs. Please put away your cell phone whenever you don't need it much.

Guys --
Please do not keep your cell phone near to the kidney position and pants pocket as this will damage your ge nital area and affect your ability to father a baby.
This rule goes for the usage of laptop also. NEVER place a laptop directly on your lap, as it does serious harm to the reproductive system. The other doctor also advised another friend to keep her cell phone away from her new born baby to avoid radiation damage to the baby's brain cells. Do not let the baby or toddler play with the cell phone.. This is because the small young baby or toddler is still very fragile and growing, so he/she is much
more vulnerable to radiation damage.

Please remember NOT to sleep with your cell phone on the bed. DON'T even put it next to your bed. Keep all other electronic goods (such as TVs) which also give off radiation, away from your bedroom to reduce risk as we have to sleep a few hours every day in our bedroom at night.

Further, do not imagine that if you switch off the TV there will be no radiation. Actually it is still around in your room. It is not advisable to have even a small digital alarm clock close to your head while sleeping.

Take Care of yourself and your loved ones. I would rather be careful than regret not knowing about these things?

'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!

Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students

"How much do you think this glass weighs?"

50gms!' ..... '100gms!' .....'125gms' ...the students answered.

"I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the professor, "but, my question is:

What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?"

'Nothing' …..the students said.

'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.

'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student

"You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?"

"Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!"

….. ventured another student & all the students laughed

"Very good.

But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?"

asked the professor.

'No'…. Was the answer.

"Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?"

The students were puzzled.

"What should I do now to come out of pain?" asked professor again.

"Put the glass down!" said one of the students

"Exactly!" said the professor.

Life's problems are something like this.

Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.

Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.

Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life,

But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to 'PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day before You go to sleep..

That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh &strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

So, when you leave office today,

Remember to

'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! '

" Happiness doesn’t come....as a result of getting something we don't have,

but it rather comes....by recognizing and appreciating and accepting all that we have."
