Whose city is it, anyway?

I keep having interesting debates about Bangalore every now and then with many friends. As most of you know i have always lived in this city since the day i was born and still continue to live in this city.With the transition of time, there has been lot of transformations at various parts of the city which has changed the image of Bangalore. The change as we know is the only thing that is constant in life, True-Bangaloreans have adopted to every major change. Bangalore City lacks in many things and most of us aware of it, in way we are all responsible for the present state of the city and also to a certain extent the 'Great Men' who rule our land.

I hit Sudus blog this morning and i found an interesting post which echos something simliar thoughts which i have towards my city.

One from my archives on Bangalore City.

Termination

This post is to express my feelings about this unique word called "Termination". I just got to know that, one of my colleague (or should i be saying ex-colleague) got terminated, yes "TERMINATED" or "LAID OFF" from my company, I still don't know/have the offical reason for his/her termination of his/her duties. I had only heard of people getting 'Terminated / Laid Off/ getting Pink slips" in US of A during the burst of the dot(.) com bubble or when the MNC's started outsoucring the jobs for cost cutting, but today for the first time i have experienced it in flesh and blood.

The person who has been terminated feels the humiliation, because he/she has been singled out of the rest. Termination of a co-worker really impacts on the style of working on all the remaining, u feel insecure and the moral among the workers takes a low. Also the mode or method adopted by the company to Terminate an individual or the set of people in a Department conveys a lot meaning to the rest about the company.

Has anyone experienced 'Termination' of self/friend/co-worker/colleague anytime in your professional life and if so how do u feel about it?

1st brithday of my Blog :)

It has been exactly one year since i started blogging and i am happy about it. Blogging as a technology has helped me express my thoughts on various subjects at my own will and i also take every bit of responsibility for all the existing posts.


I would like use this occasion to thank my friend Rugs who brought the term 'blogging' one fine day while we were talking casually and that set the clock ticking in me. Next day i discovered what 'blogging' is all about and it set me going on and on. During this one year i happened to meet meet/interact with people (few of them personally) from diverse backgrounds who are
spread across the world.

I would also like to say thanks for Adenjunky, Aru, Nita, Jessica, Ranjith, Sridhar, Vasanth, Radhika, Anitha, Anthro, Vivek M, Lavanya, Sudarshan, Kishore, Jordon, Natalie, Mandie, Deepak, Cocaine Jesus, Eden and all those anonymous visitors who have left their comments during this period. All those comments has made a lot of difference to me directly/indirectly in making me a better individual. So keep your comments coming, you never know how it would matter to the other;).


Keep Blogging!!!
