--------------------------Coming up: Non office stuff.... அன்றும் இன்றும் ...  a sneak peek into our childhood / comparison  with today.

Humans are very complicated beings. S/w Engineers in particular are more complex and the liner programs in their mind at any point of time cannot be solved by any known system known to man.Especially when it comes to comparing themselves with others its like knowingly falling into quick sand . மெல்ல திறந்தது கதவு ராதாவை, மோகன் எப்பிடி காப்பாத்த முடியலையோ அதே மாதிரி தான் .
As a person been in the industry for quite some time now and see the transitions over time I remember CRR was more of a positive enabler for most companies but for GE which boasted of scaring away lower most 5-10% every year. Dont think I am a oldy ;)  நாங்க சீக்கிரமா வேலைக்கு வந்துட்டோம் . ஹி ஹி ஹி . What gains singnificance now with this CRR is that its used as negative enabler  to avoid giving hike/promotion to folks and what's shocking is that most companies now expect 5% min of people put on lowest possible rating. I'd rather sack the Manager who recruited so called lower rate guys and the HR for this.
Few CRR discussions which I attended during the course of my managerdom were nothing less than fish market. Whoever has command and NCC squadron leader voice can make sure atleast 2-3 of his guys get best rating and avoid lower most ranking for all of his folks. It goes to a low level of pump set fight (குழா அடி சண்டை )  as how many reusable artifacts has that guy done/how many people he trained/how many pre sales activties he was part of/how many collateral contibutions wow ... tougher than CAT entrance and still he has to do his bread-butter job and slog for the project . The way some managers project , u'll feel like you have a replacement for Azim Premji or Kris Gopalakrishnan in the subject guy.
I flicked the following portion from a friend of mine.சுடுவது தப்பா ?  google - ஐ  பாத்து  code  அடிக்கரானே அவனை நிறுத்த சொல்லு நான் நிறுத்தறேன் . நாலு பேருக்கு நல்லது நடக்குதுன்னா எதுவுமே தப்பு இல்லை .
Ok coming to the flicked one ., the following is what a actual appraisal meaning and the way one should interpret. few of them now . , rest in next :
FAMILY IS ACTIVE SOCIALLY ........Spouse drinks, too ---- வீட்டம்மாவும் bottle ku ok
AVERAGE EMPLOYEE .................Not too bright ---- தலை பின்னால ஒளி வட்டம் இல்லை
EXCEPTIONALLY WELL QUALIFIED .....Made no major blunders yet - படிச்ச புள்ளை அதான் பொழப்பு ஓடுது

Well this is my first attempt to any form of blogging inspired by people at home who keep talking about the so many hits and getting thrilled by that :-). They keep editing it many times to reach max hits though ;)


I juz wanted to pen some incidents about my KSA visit in a not so boring way.

As usual like any other payana request (great tool equalled only by itself) the request started well until saturn played havoc - சனி மண்டைக்குள்ள நர்தனம் ஆடி -- in making me select the infamous travel agent . For sake of confidentiality and to avoid the character assasination lets call then XYZ.

As duty bound soldiers we (another poor soul accompanied me ) நம்ம ஊர் பாஷைல பலி கடாக்கள் minus குங்குமப் பொட்டு & மாலை  had to go to delhi airport and collect our passports since consulate was thr and as usual last minute fun with visa team (well they call for a special post and it will follow) . of the whole sequences I am happy that one more bakra was there in the ordeal. we were looked with pity by the airlines guy in Delhi who conveyed that from Bahrain we'll be travelling by Bus instead of Air. our XYZ folks did nt even know till then that a code of 4 digits in booking means a Bus and not Air.

We were offered rebooking by the XYZ guy but since the previous night we waited till 8.30 for eticket(for a booking made at 5.30) we did nt want to risk and proceeded to boarding.

rest tomorrow ----Sniffer dogs/No mans land/breakdown ----------------------

First post... as usual L board . படிக்கறவங்களுக்கு கொஞ்சம் இல்ல நிறையவே பொறுமை வேணும். ஆனா பொறமை படற அளவுக்கு மாமா கலக்குவேன் இல்ல.

கெளம்பிட்டேன் யா கெளம்பிட்டேன் .
