2018 Summer Vacation
1. Booked tickets from B'lore to Thiruvananthapuram -- Sleeper coach bus - KPN Travels
2. Bus journey was good -- Note: Preferably book upper berth and in the middle section of the bus
3. Started around 8 pm and reached around 9 am at Thiruvananthapuram -- Note: There is no dinner break during night journey.. hence have your dinner before you start your journey or you can pack some food to have it in bus
4. Got off from bus at Thiruvananthapuram and took Auto Rickshaw to reach Poovar Island -- It's 1 hour journey
5. Reached Poovar Club Mahindra (it was a Sunday) and after a quick shower, headed towards the restaurant for lunch
6. Whole day was spent well within Club Mahindra.. kids were glued to FUN ZONE and the elders were busy eating and playing cards (BREY Game)
7. Next day it was time for boat ride in the backwaters.. spent some good 2 hrs in the boat and also had a nice lunch in the floating restaurant (Saravana Bhavan veg meal -- as it was Monday)
8. Evening time was spent in FUN ZONE and had some delicious food.
9. Next day (Tuesday) was the check out day.. checked out by 12 noon and Club Mahindra gave us another nice room for the remainder of the day (as our bus was at night 8 pm.). Today again we took a boat ride to sea beach.. spent some good time in sea beach.. kids went for horse ride in the beach.
10. Club Mahindra arranged an Innova for us to reach Thiruvananthapuram and from there we boarded the bus for our journey back to Bangalore. Thank You!

UHAULing.... in US...

In this blog let me share my experience of shifting home in America... You have to do the following activities for shifting your home... 1) Buy the card board boxes and pack your stuffs on your own... 2) Rent a truck to shift your stuff from one place to other and you have to drive that truck on your own. That truck is provided by a company called UHAUL. 3) Place all your stuffs inside the truck on your own. So, you have to carry your sofa, bed etc on your own. Therefore, you have to be a body builder to do all these activities. Remember, here there is no human labour to help you out. If you are hiring human labour then be ready to pay a hefty amount. 4) OK... All the stuffs are now packed and placed inside the truck. Now drive the truck on your own. 5) Reach the destination. 6) Unload all the stuffs.... Again on your own... 7) Return the truck to UHAUL (company) and pay the rental... 8) Your shifting is done... Cool..... That's how you have to live in USA. So, life is very easy he...

A way to give back...

Giving back to the society??? This sentence sounds a bit odd.. Yes, because we always believe in taking from the society... and we have taken it for granted that we'll always take from the society... Since our arrival to this beautiful world, we have taken almost everything from the society... It may be good education, good job or a safe and healthy society... and we assume that building a good society is the responsibility of Govt... Yes, you are right.. however, our country is a developing country.. not a developed country... Govt is doing its work at its pace... and since our country is one of the most populous country in the world, a lot of unprivileged people are there in the society.. unfortunately they are deprived from everything... they also don't get their basic school education... That's why the role of privileged people become very vital... Under current scenario, all the privileged people should raise their hand to support the unprivileged people.. We may argue...

Work from home..

I've a very strong feeling that the usage of modern technology will take India to the next level. The sooner we implement, the better for country.. These days Work From Home culture is a reality. In India, some MNCs and Indian IT companies have adopted this culture. However, majority of the chunk have not yet adopted. Let us understand how the 'WORK FROM HOME' culture can be implemented in all the iT companies: 1. Work: People can work through VPN connection using office laptop. 2. Meeting: By using dedicated bridge, all employees can attend meetings through phone. 3. Presentation: Many softwares are available e.g. 'Windows Meeting Space' can be used for any kind of online demonstration. 4. Video conference: SKYPE can be used for video conference. Advantages: a) There will be less traffic on road b) Less cubicles are required in office space c) People will save money from fuel expenditure and many more.. Disadvantages: a) Initial infrastructure cost e.g. providing l...
