I hate to say goodby to KPIT

My goodbye letter to KPIT

Hi All,

"Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show, I laced the track you'll locked the flow. Notorious they got to know that, life isn't always what it seem to be, words can't express what you'll mean to me. Even though we are apart, we still a team."
-Benjamin Franklin

And indeed it "seems like yesterday" that I first walked into the firm's as an Oracle-BEA Consultant last year.

Unfortunately, having oriented you to my location, it is now too late to come visit me. Because it is today that I with heavy heart, announce my departure from our beloved firm. It's hard to believe that so much time has already passed, almost unnoticed, like the flutter of a hummingbird's wings. Deadlines came and went, cases settled, customers + clients + co-workers appreciation mails arrived.

I can say with total sincerity that it has been a very valuable ride. Though I will not miss recording my life at KPIT and the great time that I spend with you lovely people.

I have had the great fortune to work with and befriend some really amazing people, and I hope that you’ll will remain in touch when I'm no longer a four-digit call away.

Wishing everyone all the best.:)

Signing out,
- Bhavya

Bug in Orkut Application

"It seems that you had fun @ the party"
"You looking lovely"
"You make a nice couple"
"Looks like it’s snowing in Germany"

These are the comments that we add when we see photos uploaded by our friends in Orkut.

Every one loves viewing and uploading photos on orkut and it assures security of the pictures by not allowing anyone to copy it and misuse them.
Kind off relieve to every one and thus it’s the most popular Web 2.0 application.
But there’s a bug :(

My Cousin is in Canada, she has uploaded her couple pic which I wanted to copy.
Tried to right click it but never gave me the option to save the picture.
After some attempt i was able to copy the picture.
Guess how......thanks to this bug of orkut.

Just try this...
1.Open a picture in Orkut
2. Drag the picture and drop in the address bar of the Web browser
Let me know if this helps you in copying your favorite picture.

So…… people the message is -Think twice while uploading any of your personal photos as there’s no security. Bad news for all the photo lovers out there.
And Google talks about competing Facebook with this draw back :)

KPIT making its mark @ 5th Pune Barcamp

-> My First Presentation with my close friend Pramila on eLearning 2.0
-> First time 2 girls presenting at Barcamp
-> First time KPIT Guys at Barcamp
-> First time KPIT presenting on Oracle Middleware Fusion and SAML
I experienced all of this for the first time at 5th Pune Barcamp, that’s how this BCP is special for me.

I had 2 sleepless days, busy in preparing, learning and researching on eLearning 2.0
Friday night we were awake and working on our PPT and finally delivered our presentation at 12.30 pm in front of 30 + audience.

The purpose of our presentation was very clear; We wanted to make people aware of eLearning and wanted them to educate others, so that India becomes a major contributor towards eLearning 2.0.

We concluded with an open debate on “Classroom training vs eLearning”
I could say that our presentation was successful as everyone had some thing or other to speak over it, thus witnessing our purpose getting fulfilled.

The Best part for me was to see KPIT guys being there and contributing towards this event.
> Saumajit the Webservices guys delivered a session on SAML
> Tara the Trainer spoke about Oracle Middleware Fusion
> Sadha the youngest employee of KPIT promises me to be a presenter at the next BCP
> Ravish Oracle consultant and an inspired hacker doing live blogging about BCP

All of this and many more made BCP the free camp rocking.

I never knew my life is so beautiful

I have been receiving lots of compliments throughout my life.
Trust me …..half the time or to be very frank every time I never took them seriously.

But I don’t know why, this compliment of my friend from my organization actually made me think and believe it
He said
“ I want a life like Bhavya in my next birth”

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my god
Till now I never knew that god has gifted me such a beautiful life.

I don’t want to say much …..but just wanted to thank God through this Post
“Thanks a Tone Dear, i will always keep it beautiful ”

Its like this image – Every one has a different perception at looking at things.
The fact is gods creation is marvelous; let it be Nature or living beings life - Lets just treasure and value it

VBCC Alumine Meet 2008

Yesterday we had VBCC reunion in our college classroom. Thanks to Dr.Rodrigues - principle and John - Batchmate, I could see a lot of VeeBees…that’s what students of VBCC were called.

It was a small gathering of around 45 people. There were a few who were about 2 to 4 years seniors to us. I really liked their commitment to come after this many years.

Our Principle welcomed us and sitting on the bench, watching many of my batchmates and listening to his talk brought back quite a lot of memories.. Sitting on the campus katta, fighting for the computers, gossiping with friends, arguments with Doc, standing in a Queue for fee, form and journal submissions, waiting long after college for rehearsals. Every moment seems the Best. I am pretty impressed by the feeling of unity among the alumni. Really, its very important to have a sense of identity and trust me in pune VBCC has a unique culture of itself.

VBCC makes one simple and down to earth. It made me more introspective and observant. Down the memory lane, I know that VBCC has made a big impact in my life.
For a moment, I wished to be at VBCC.. as I was silently walking around the campus, seeing classrooms, labs, library (which was closed) from far, sitting on the staircase and recollecting the group revisions that used to take place 5 min before the exam bell rang.

I told my friend that lets take admission and go back to those days. It really made me nostalgic. I know its not possible, yet, its great to have good memories, longings and a sense of belongingness.
After his welcome talk some of them shared there feeling, happiness and sadness of meeting each other after a long time. Every one said that we don’t want to step out this campus as the corporate life is quite a shift from the sensitive culture of VBCC. Yet, we need to come out of the shadow someday.. so that we could realize ourselves and be ourselves.

Every one had to introduce them self and every one was interested in just know if he or she is married or not. :)
The formal meet came to an end with a promise that we will be in touch with each other and will be there whenever any one is in need of help.
After our Batch's photoshoot we had lots to share and talk but probably didn’t knew from where to start and how to end. We all had to depart, no one wanted to say good bye…so we replaced it with Keep in touch :(

I have so much to wright but I believe I need to start a blog for the same। :)

I also feel bad that why didn't i started my blog when I was in college. I would have captured all my lovely memories in words and on web.
