I am writing this post from Ottawa University. Time is 7:40 PM. I am planning to write this post for a long time. Because, a lot of good things happened for me in the last 30-40 days...
August16th was my last day in Aricent. I loved working there and still would love to work, if i get a good chance. If i didnt join for higher studies, i would have continued there most pbbly. Yes, i was happy working there. Nothing to be regretted and good money, it is not great though...:)
And August27th, we shifted to a new house. Pictures here: http://picasaweb.google.com/krrakesh5/NewHouse# Yes, construction was happening for last 2 years and happy that financial burden is not much..very much manageable. And happy that achan dont need to be worried about "how to get workers..u know it is a big problem" and supervising, etc...Eventhough i didnt get much time to stay there, since i travelled to Ottawa on September 5th.
Yes, i joined for the M.A.Sc program in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Network Communications. It is a two year program. And i am getting a research assistantship..:) So,not much financial burden there too. Hope i can continue this assitantship for next term also. Bye now..more details follow..My friend is calling to go somewhere. Happy weekend.

Change in About Me
I know, all of you are confused with the subject line..So, just to make it clear My about me till now was like this " I am dreaming about a developed India.I believe that Education, Entrepreneurship and Technology are the keys to a developed nation."....Still about me remains same..But that dream is not prominent these days..Some how i feel this is very difficult without a drastic change and a lot of positive energy in people. In the last 2-3 months i was thinking( actually i was thinking very aloud...Ask some of my NSN colleagues and room mates..:) about all these negative factors - say high population( alot of people think that is the basic issue), politics in work place, low level attitude of Indian geniuses. Still the discussions going on, whenever no other subject come in to mind when alcohol content increaes in the blood...:) But the final result of the decision was a BIG 0000000000000000, just like most of the office discussions.
But one think is sure, i am not enjoying this place no more and feeling very bad about some of the (experiencing) realities of Bangalore life.
No way to play Soccer here, or we have to put so much effort. Say a word cricket - people will assemble in the ground, as if they will get free lunch after the game
Driving the bike for 30 minutes is enough for a good sleep.. So, much tiresome..I dont know why these guys are horning always, even if they know there is not a single inch to move. But finally i got a solution for this issue. I also started horning continuously..some how feeling happy..:) Trying to be part of this .... system.
And as i mentioned in one post appx two years ago( http://rakeshradhakrishnan.blogspot.com/2008/02/higher-studies-option-for-me.html), it is confirmed from my side. I am going for higher studies.. Applied to Three Universities in Canada for Septmeber Term. But not sure about the Funding and Admission decision, since i applied in the 11th hour..But hopefully if everything else is going fine( Especially my house construction is not yet finished), i will fly to Canada this year. Anyway i think i can stop here now. You can get the next post, when i am feeling so bored of life next time....:)

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.

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.
