One Year @ Chennai and CTS

Today I completed one full year at CTS (Cognizant Technology Solutions) in Chennai. Gosh!! Time flies. It just seems like yesterday when I had boarded the early morning flight after bidding good bye to Delhi NCR.

Chennai and CTS have been a mixed bag for me over the last year. It has been good for me on the professional front while a tad bad on the personal front for me.

The goods being....

• Started working on one of the latest versions of Oracle WCI.
• Worked with one of the top 4 companies in India and one of the fastest growing companies of the world.
• Got instant recognition from client and colleagues for the efforts I put in.
• Learned a lot about my nemesis, BEA Publisher (PS... I am still shit scared of it).
• Got to eat a lot of sea-food.
• Getting time to indulge in my passion of reading novels (Having spent over 8000 bucks on novels last year).

The not so good things being....

• Lost all my friends at Delhi,NCR.
• Missed looking at the hot girls of NCR.
• Fell horribly ill and had to be hospitalized for over a week in Chennai.
• Able to catch one movie a month instead of the four every month in NCR.
• Miss going to a good Pub/Bar with wifey here at Chennai.
• Missing the chilly winters and sleeping under 3 blankets with socks on

Six each for good and not so good........not bad...seem to balance each other out :)
