On Leave

Yesterday and Today i have taken leave due to Viral fever. Hopefully by the end of the day, i should be fine. At least my doctor think so. .:)

The major reason i did not go to office is the body pain associated with the Viral fever. It was so bad...now feeling better. I dont want to sit in the coolest place( Seems like office admin guys want to make NSN office the coolest work place by reducing AC temperature..:)) in Bangalore with this body pain. Anyway got enough time for sleeping, watching TV, reading - little bit and browsing.

I started twittering some time back - http://twitter.com/krrakesh5. Social networking and microblogging sites are a lot these days.

Got a good link from my friend - 25 Mythical and Humorous Facts About Linus Torvalds and 15 Mythical and Humorous Facts About Richard Stallman

A funny reading....!!

@Bangalore

It is a long time since i published my last blog post...!! Actually it was not because of lack of time..Just i was lazzy..!! anyway now feeling interested to blog again.

anyway there was not much happening in my life for the last few months. After coming back from Ottawa in last December, I was in Chennai for only two days. On December 22nd i joined Aricent Bangalore. It is a new project for Nokia Siemens network. The domain is different - till now i was working in Optical and Metro ethernet technologies. This NSN project is in UMTS technology. So, it was interesting in the first 2-3 months.

From February first week, I am working from NSN office in Infantry road. Comparing to foreign onsite, local onsite is a different experience. Personally i feel Foreign onsite was good and there are reasons to think so - ofcourse not only money...:) But after all it is just a business and doing good work matters finally. Anyway, now work is going good.

Did not have much trips in the last months. Only trip was to Trivandrum and Kanyakumari. It was a good one..!! Anyway planning to have some good trip in August first week or end.

Want to write a lot of things -but going to watch a film now..will update later.

Flextronics Xmas party

Forgot to say about the Xmas party of Flextronics in the last post...it was really nice one.

Had a good time. Here the photos: http://picasaweb.google.com/krrakesh5/XmasParty_Flextronics_2008#

Bye to Ottawa..

This post is just to say bye to Ottawa...This time i stayed here exactly 4 and half months. The first 2 months summer and 2 months winter..Not bad. Enjoyed the stay and work in Flextronics. It was a nice experience.

And this time we experienced a Bus strike here...in the last few days. It was quite unexpected one.
Enjoyed the night parties in weekends and busy week days..:) Had a time to catch up old friends in Ottawa, got some new friends. So, tomorrow we are flying back to India..it is a mixed feeling now...like the thrill of reaching back India and the sadness of leaving this nice city. Yeah..I liked this place very much. Really nice people, good eat outs...( I agree some time people are crazy though) and this time winter was not too bad.

So, thanks to all friends in Ottawa who made this four and half months a real fun and memorable..So, i am pretty sure we will meet up somewhere in life...this world is really small right..?

After a long time, i am back in to blogging

It is a long time back i stopped blogging here..I used to update new entries in my technical blog. Now again, i am having a lot of free time - thats the reason i started blogging...:)

Life is going fine. As most of you know, i am in Ottawa, Canada now. Here winter is about to start. So, going out is not a good option. So, roaming in the city is limited to weekends. I will be here in Ottawa for one more month(It can be less also..not sure about that).

Now i am spending most of the time in reading blogs, learning programming in python, updating Linkedin contacts. Just add me, if you are there.

My Linkedin profile is here: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rakeshradhakrishnan

Today i read one blog entry of Marcelo Toledo - about google workplace. Very interesting...Hopefully all the companies will follow this model. soon...:) So, it is time for dinner..bye now.

Post from Kerala

I am writing this post from Kerala. I reached Kerala today morning to attend one of my friend's marriage. Friends from bangalore are coming to Thrissur for attending the marriage. Planning to visit Athirappally waterfalls today afternoon. Will return back to chennai tomorrow afternoon.

The life in chennai is very busy. We are planning to shift to a new house in chennai, mainly we are looking for a very good residential location. All brokers are asking for rent above 12,000/ only. Still, difficult to get house in a good locaton. Search is going on. Because of this, not getting much time to spent in Office.Luckily, not much work in office.But planning to start work from next monday. I bought a second hand splendor bike and a new mobile, Nokia N73.Traffic in Chennai is not bad compared to bangalore. Otherwise half of my salary i have to spend for auto itself. One thing i dont like in chennai is uncontrolled auto charges. New mobile is having a lot of good features i was looking for. 3.2 Megapixel camera,GPRS, MP3 player..and i got 2 GB memory card with mobile. Now i can save as many contacts i want in my new mobile. That was the biggest problem i was facing with my Nokia 1112.

Planning to start house construction in Kerala next month, hopefully. Plan is ready. Some formalities are needed for applying loan. The process is going on. A very good financial planning is required in the near future.
