how is it to be in a battle...


how is it to be in a 'battle'
January 7th 1959, Large throngs of people gather to cheer the victory march of
Fidel and Che on the 'streets' of Havana , capital of Cuba commemorating the victory of their great "REVOLUTION"..

the same day after 50 years..the 53000 employees of a numero 4 SW Giant of India shocked from the "REVELATION" of their ex-boss about the balance sheet.. the 'streets' of BSE and the NSE seemed so narrow for the investors...with questions against India Inc's survival of the fittest..

the two events making different effects though...

One against a capitalist regime which paved way for the success of socialism
and the other a clear struggle of an one man army against growing globalization pressures

the 'truth' ....yet to be unfolded....

How does it feel as an employee of the great organization,which was on the media months ago for its excellence in service and governance and now being on the news and headlines not jus a single day but for each second for the adversaries..

It feels like being in a battle field not jus a battle with powerful ammunitions against an enemy or a target but ,

a battle against survival..

battle against the heavy loans..

battle against the media speculations...

battle against poaching..

battle against will power and regaining business and bringing back old glory..

testing times of of a battle are those decisive movements of taking stride..
many questions arise in mind...

stay calm ?
what do u mean by it.Its a big havoc goin down there how can I stay calm..I jus get hundreds of calls from my home , family and friends who are hyped much about the situation by the media..

quit?
Really speaking the market is really bad with a huge slow down of IT sector and recession all across the borders..quitting the company at this stage is like falling into a pit..

wait for the announcement of a new leadership?
What can the new leadership bring to the Company.
They jus bring trust and faith among the stakeholders.Trust by leadership ..
That's what we have learned form previos employers..and all through our lives..

Finally it boils down to the date 31st january...its not the D-day rather its the S-Day...The world is gonna watch and the cameras of all the Media giants and correspondents placed on the gates of the HQ in Hyderabad.


coming back to the decisive moments....the sense of panic shud be reduced..
[its easy to say but its not so easy..when u r in the middle]

A company of this huge size with man power on par with industry standards
is not gonna be washed away in overnight and there is enormous hope that the new leadership brings success and take the company out of these blot soon, to keep in track of the operations and the employee has a responsibility of a soldier who keeps his eyes focused on a single goal and continue the same work till the battle is over..

I jus hear a voice "so is it gonna end this month?"

சிந்திக்க வைக்கும் சில உண்மைகள்...


5 எழுத்து தனியார் வங்கியினர் ..இரவோடு இரவாக..அறிவுப்பின்றி
கிரெடிட் ..வரம்பை குறைத்தது வேடிக்கை.....
3 மாதங்களுக்கு முன்பு அவ்வங்கியின் நிலைமை..எல்லோருக்கும் தெரிந்ததுதான்..அனைவரும் நம்பிக்கை இல்லாமல் பணத்தை எடுத்து
வேறு வங்கிக்கு மாற்றியிருந்தால் ????????
பாவம் அவர்களுக்கு உலகம் உருண்டை என்பது தெரியவில்லை..
எங்கள் அன்பான வசைகளுக்கு இணங்கி..ஓரிரு நாட்களில்
credit limit பழைய நிலைக்கு கொண்டுவந்தமைக்கு நன்றி..


அலுவலக நுழை வாயில் காவலர்களுக்கு இப்போதெல்லாம் நிம்மதி..
ஏன் என்று தெரியுமா ? "எந்த வங்கி கடன் தரகர்களும் [representatives] எங்கள் அலுவலகம் பக்கம் வருவதே இல்லை.."


32 ஆவது புத்தக கண்காட்சியில் நான் வாங்கிய.. "Understading Balance Sheets" இப்போது படிப்பதற்கு சுவாரஸ்யமாக இருக்கிறது..


'பெஞ்ச்'இல் உள்ளவர்கள் மற்றும் வேலை பளு அதிகம் இல்லாதவர்கள்.. 'கணினி தட்டச்சு பழகிய விரல்களின் எண்ணங்கள் '
என்ற தலைப்பில் ஒரு சிறுகதை தொகுப்பு எழுதலாம்..

Ashok,
'a company of this size and man power is not going to be washed away in a night' can be true in the case of a regular brick and mortar company, Satyam being a service company looking for projects from external clients is much more vulnerable. In fact, to regain the confidence of much of the clients and foreign investors back, RRaju and his ilk (including those of Maytas) should be prosecuted to their fullest extent and stripped of the wealth they have gained.

If everyone sees around the world can see that one can get away swindling 7000 odd crores in India, it doesn't bode well for India, much less for satyam.

my 2 cents...

yeah i agree with u abt the BOSS..but u know what happens here..it took more than 3 days to make a decision even after an open confession..

so jus think about how many days it will take to get the 'real' truth out from him..

its not gonna be so easy though for the employees....

Back to School..confessions..pages from the school memories rooted strong as the banyan

ஆலம் விழுதுகளாய் வேறூண்றி இருக்கும் பள்ளி நினைவுகளின் பதிப்புகளிலிருந்து ஒரு சில பக்கங்கள் ... In a way i am doing injustice to the English Teacher Nirmala Krishnaswamy(our x princi) by starting the blog in tamil[reason may be the effect of bunking the english classes:) ] at the  same time I am happy doing good justice to my tamil teacher Malarkodi.[ எல்லாருக்கும் எருமை தயிரு ஞாபகமிருக்கும்ன்னு நெனைக்குரேன். ] Anyways language is not a barrier for those wonderful journeys.! The transliteration of the starting lines... 'pages from the school memories rooted strong as the banyan' The banyan logo of the school perfectly suits the title of the post .Banyan represents eternal life because of its seemingly ever-expanding branches so as we are with lot of branches across the world by spreading the knowledge from those woods*. Lets board the time machine to take us back to the mid 80 s ,where most of the memories are still afresh . On the voyage there are l

My Formula is Cab

12.30 A.M., Parking Lot, Karapakkam Service Lane I woke up by a strong wind gushing thru my window and the fluttering sound of the trip sheets. I had just made a trip to perambur from karappakkam. I cud see a blurred image of the trip supervisor nearing my car. I wonder is it just fate or a passion for driving, for if it was passion I would have become Schumacher…[believe me I am not a fan or a follower of Schumacher. I hardly get time to even have a normal diet…just heard this name when one of the employee uttered this name. Out of curiosity, I was asking him who he was and what was special about him…] Then I told to myself , all the cab drivers are in a way F1 drivers...the Schumachers and Alonsos who drive their way to the chequered flag 18 times once in a year and during each race have pit stops compared to our drivers who also get lot of pits stops, rather all along the journey in the roads of C
