My First Presentation.
It was 7:58 AM waiting for my manager to ping me on sametime(IBM internal messenger).
every 5 min my outlook reminder is bugging me about my manager call. At last at 8:30 my manager turned up at my desk and we went upstairs. We were supposed to go to conference room but had to wait outside because conference is still going on. so me , my manager and her manager sat in the sofa and had chat about their personal life(of course you know "scrap"). We get to go to conference room after 30 min.
I had a feeling that cannot be expressed(Happy and nervous) as i am going to give a demo to president, CFO and all other VP's of Unison(Owned by GE).
Demo started of like this...
My manager introduced me to all those executives including president and she started off the presentation(she talked for 2 min) and handed it over to me.
They were keen on presentation for first 2-3 min and then they started asking questions(We can assume how questions will be) which look silly to us(developers) but they were always thinking about the business performance. In between demo is flooded with jokes on ppl and some of the questions i don't understand .Actually they gave us 20 min time but it took 40 min ( i donno they might have been interested in demo).Whatever i enjoyed giving demo to such a high profile executives.
That was joyful day for me. And seems that they gave good feedback.

Get Together
First of all Congrats and wish you happy married life Ravi(Keep smiling).
Ravi is the first person to get married in our Engineering gang. We decided to give a marriage gift but sandeep and kishore thought of presenting a gift along with gettogether . So me,sandeep,kishore,ravikanth,kk,raghu,kundan and ravi met at his house in Washington DC.
We had great time in the trip. Even though poker is our main concentration(You should see sandeeps exitement about poker ,of course one would expect that from any professional poker player) we spent decent amount of time on other things also. One more thing is i learnt poker in this tour from sandeep while travelling from florida to DC.
Friday night at 2:30 we started poker in hotel room(me(fresher),sandeep,ravikanth,raghu,kundan) we played till morning 8 am and went to bed.
Satday afternoon we went to ravi's house and we all together along with smitha went to gokarting at local recreation place in the evening. We all went for karting as a race and everybody was exited about the results after the race. Kartik(smitha's cousin) was first and me stood in second place of course.Kundan was best lap maker in the race. From there we headed to mexican restaurent where we had good food and drinks too(Raghu didnt want to leave the place till he had his 4th drink :)).
Poker continured that night and next day afternoon went to good indian restaurent.While ravi & smitha were in the restaurent we thought we make some good arrangements for the cake cutting at his house but couldnt do it becos of time . Anyway after the lunch we made the couple cut cake along with some nice photos and went to bowling in the evening. We devided into two teams ravi's and smitha's. Ravi made some good scores initially but smitha pickedup verywell. This is the first time i played bowling in my life. I too pickup the game well but my back started aching suddenly while lifting the ball(i am struggling these days with all body aches).
So after the bowling ppl started heading towards their home.And me layed down on the floor with backache. Sandeep and ravikanth continured their poker. Should i say that ravikanth almost earned money for his air ticket.
Overall all it was nice trip and i look forward to have more tours of this kind.

My First Blog
At last started off my blogging by inspiration from sudhakar and nilesh.
Today at my work i posted a question on forums.oracle.com for which i got a reply for that from nilesh.
