Thank you 2010. Welcome 2011!

Hellooooooww!  Wish you and yours a very happy and a prosperous new year!!

I am writing after really really long time.  2010 has been an exciting year.  It had more focus on my career than anything else.  It involved lot of travel, both business and personal.  Some decisions were made and some of them reversed!  Some targets achieved and some yet to be achieved.  Spent reasonable (good) time with family.  The last quarter of 2010 was very tiring due to work.

Hope the new year brings success and happiness to every one.  Have a great year ahead!

Note to the West!

I would like to draw the attention of westerners who outsource work to India, either to sleep peacefully or to make cost savings for their organizations or to go on holidays with their dear ones!

 The months, October and November are month of festivals in India.  Every week there will be lesser working hours than usual.  Sometimes the working hours are too less that people here do not find it worth travelling to work!  

So what is the message? The message is if you are planning your critical project activities in these months please do not do so.  Plan well and have them somewhat earlier in the months of August and September or have them after October. 

Well, it may sound weird, but you can try planning critical activities in these months to believe in what I just said!  The culture has changed everywhere, Indians also travel long distances to spend time with their families.  We also want to have holidays and festivals.  Good or bad, we copied this culture from you.

 

If you want to go with the tide, you are most welcome to celebrate Indian festivals with us like we celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving with you!!
