Don't read again , you read it right !!!
Rickshawals in Bangalore have lots of shares floating in "Public" , and we [banglorians] are the consumers . See how do they manage to sell
They don't believe in meter,
1. The Entry Load
The first time you get into a ricksha they will look so pleasent
ask you r new to this place
say some Current affairs
U will fell that ur enjoying the warm climate of bangalore but whne u reach the destination
And you ask "Kitna Hua?" "50 Rupees Sir"
"What i didn't even sit 5 mins in this?"
"Sir No return Sir 50 rupees Sir"
2. Day-2 You starts Trading
Now you know you got cheeted yesterday
Auto Comes !!! "EGL" "40 Rs "
You say "20 Rs"
Deal Fixed at "30 Rs"
3. If you happen to Fall into bangalore @ Night or Early b4 the sun gets up
Then you are obliged to pay them the current running Share price
Moral of the story
In Mumbai > Rent is High
In Bangalore > Ricksha Rent is High so you remain Healthy [ you walk !!! ]

Back to square one - Official visit to Hewitt Associates:
It was a pleasing moment to meet some of the old faces!!
Lots of astonishment was flowing past those moments ...
The group looked too small, may be because of growth!!!
Some looked the same showed same emotions!!
Some showed their personal exaggerations and long lasting question marks :)
Some looked rather showed happy to be still there..
But so many good positive changes
1. Chronic bachelor Getting Married finally
2 Technical Consultant going for lunch at sharp 1Pm
3 Some of my colleagues saying they have to rush for an "important" training
4 Less "attractions" around :)
5 Forgot so many names including "Sour ..Jain"
6 FMLA still a big bug ( "who coded that ?")
7 PJ still shy, Mi Iy still serious
And hey nothing above is serious !!! its was a chilling moment to be in !!!

Can "Coffee Drops" Be used for Identity Management?
Dedicated to Most Exiting Mohan Kumar aka Anna.
“Anna” was a well known developer in Hewitt.
When I came in to Hewitt he was religiously handling AMT Project.
The Team used to have daily meetings mostly to discuss when will be the next meeting; we used to read stories written my Business Analysts and envisage logic on how to convert this contemporary BA artform in to a clinical masterpiece.
Lets come to the point..
The printer in the far corner of the room used to continuously serve its consumers who keeps on bombarding it with documents , pdfs , pictures day –in and night –in
Why did I say about the printer? he is the villain in this story.[ Not Me ]
As usual we were going for the “very important” AMT meetings.
“Anna Can you fire my print out as well “ I said to Anna with a mild tone.
“Da Patti enthu patti ninte printerkuu ”[ What happened to your printer you my sweet dog ]
“Its not working anna”
“OK Not you go and get it…. Fast”
I reached the printer, It was giving a different type of smile, I took the printout and gave a little pat on its back “Sorry to disturb you dost”
Anna examined the printouts, the fourth page of the Absence Management Specification v3 was not clearly printed by our Villain all other pages were ok
I suddenly took the good print; Anna snatched It from Me “Am the leader You keep this”
Suddenly Mythily [Our Project Manager] called Anna.
Anna had full confidence in me that I would replace the printouts.
The “bulb” from inside clicked, so before going he took a drop of coffee and dropped on the specification.
When Anna went I reached for his print out, suddenly my innocent eyes dragged my attention towards the coffee drop.
“Anna you are smart? ” My DoCoMo SIM card murmured
I suddenly created a drop in my finger tip and crash landed the shining drop on to the printout with 0.49 precessions.
Quietly place the specification on his table and moved back to my seat just like an obedient subordinate.
The meeting started, I managed a turning chair as opposite as possible to Anna.
Page 1 was read at 45km/hr every one looked satisfied, page 2 and 3 at 30km/hr, every one was pretending to be listening and concentrating for the next words to come from Anna.
“Anna What happened”
I could see his anger gaining momentum. …rest is history ..HE snatched my [actually his ] specification
Now present.:
I currently works with Identity management solutions and “Coffee Drops” is not what we are using for that ..:)

Story of “Don’t argue”
“Don’t argue” is an innocent programmer in my team
Flashback: He has lost 4 umbrellas in the company buss.
“Light Action Camera” Don’t argue holding his 5th umbrella peacefully seated in the window seat of our Saicare muti- specialty buss.
Multi - specialty simply because you never know when the seat you are sitting goes back leaving you a celebrity in front of others.
“Lets come to the point” Very next to don’t argue sits a simple, humble, noble (add words ending in ‘le’) person the author of this story, its Me.
“Krishna this is my new bag, I got it just to hold my umbrella” said DA
“What happened?” I just made an enquiry.
DA’s prepared for the long explanation, I could hear his face muscles twist and turn.
“Man I lost many umbrellas, next time I won’t after much thought I brought this bag to keep my umbrellas”
“How much is the cost?”
“Umbrellas” asked DA
“yep both”
With a classic smile DA explained “umbrella is around 100 , bag near to 250”
Scene -2 [ Powai Office 11.15 Am Tea time ]
Some days after the incident, DA was coming into his cubicle, As usual I tried to check his hand, To my sudden excitement, there was noting in his hand.
Exited about knowing I just inquired
“Hey man I lot my Bag along with the umbrella some where in canteen ” a cold voice from DA
Like an Emotionally depressed villain I said “ Don,t worry” [ not Don’t Argue ] …. “Lets find some new idea” :)

Never make Fun of an Indica
Dedication: To Hewitt Team , Mahape, Navi Mumbai
There is no one in Hewitt who doesn’t know Kapilesh, a Capable and admirable Technical Architect.
The story happens some years back.
The main heroine is a Cute bubbly four legged Indica, she belongs to the loyal S-Class 1947 model..
During stressful days of Absence Management Tool development, Kaps used to take me in his Indica
When we move though the nicely marbled Mahape Highway I could hear the sweet sound of bal bearings.
To lift the window you need 2 persons, one has to press the window and the other have to turn the piston vigorously.
Once we were about to fill the fuel from the fuel satation, Kapilesh was pressing hard to open the fuel tank value suddenly a sound from the rear end of the Indica
“Sir maine screwdriver see khola, kuch karne ka zarurat nahi ”
I said “Wah Kya Advanced …… Technology”
Kapilesh used to tell me “Saale Ek din Na there ko beech me utarke javunga“ “mere car ki ethane beesathi “
Days passed, months also passed, our Heroine got new dress “A shining Metallic White clothing “
It was my last day in Hewitt
Kapilesh told let us go to Ghodbundar Road for the last time
We were zomming through the flyovers and reach Majiwada , the peek time of traffic.
Suddenly it happened
Just before the Majivada circle our Heroine Metallic white Shining Indica stopped responding to the strong Kinetic Energy provided the Diesel engine
Hundreds of innocent Traffic creators slowly kept their hand on the Horn and created a AR Rahman type musical extravagance.
“Now What Kaps ?” I asked as if I was a new joinee filling the Firstday application form
“Let me try again” Tried 1- 2-3 all identical results, our heroine dint not respond.
“Now” Me again
“Push” “Get out and push”
“Me” I asked,”Yes” I got out and some how managed to push it to the nearest space…
Story Ends Moral Begins ...
I Learned it the hard way “Never make fun of any Indica ” …
