We had client visit and CIO was here.So preparations were going on in full swing.For past two days most of us were busy with models and data.
On D day everything went good and evening we had Town Hall.After the executives spoke and questions were asked, I was given Distinguished Achiever award (memento and Certificate) by CIO and ISU head.Along with me three others got this award.
It was a great moment.
I had to stay back for coordinating Power shutdown at our office.It was very hectic as the request was approved only during last hour.I started after 12 a.m boarded a cab and reached home around 2:00 a.m.
I had undergone Internal auditor Training and had audited 2 projects in the last quarter.Today we had Audit Meet and I was awarded the Best Auditor of our Insurance domain. 🙂 🙂 🙂
We got a mail yesterday that we would be having our town hall today from Anandi- HR.I have heard that siruseri has auditorium but today was the chance to visit.Mani, our delivery owner welcomed us all and showed a presentation about our client, acheivements and the future prospects.
Then they were rewarding associates with certificates.I got a certificate for working beyond on call of duty. Also I received another certificate signed by our CEO for participating in Maitree activities.
Initially started with a 2 days plan and finally with non cooperation from all the associates, the plan changed to a 1 day trip to resort.To make sure most of the associates come for the outing it was planned on working day.
We all reached the resort by office bus playing Dumb-C all the way.We got settled and after announcing the teams we asked the team leads to introduce their team members while they would be doing their catwalk.The teams had named themselves with crazy names like Swineflu,Tamiflu and Adengappa.We got fried under hot sun while playing volley ball.Next we had only energy to walk for lunch.Though the items were limited we all enjoyed the food.
We were all sitting like a snake lying down after swallowing its prey.:) We wanted to start with a very slow game.So Bindi sticking was our choice.Later we played Personality Guessing, Brick walking, Dog in the bone (which I guess many enjoyed).After having high tea we relaxed on the sands of beach.
We completed the outing with ‘Dance with your Leader’ game.It was one full day of fun and we finally left the place after settling the bill.It was tiresome day.:'-(
I was appreciated thro TCS Gems, a recognition portal in TCS by our Delivery Owner Mani for driving the CSR Initiatives.I felt nice receiving such words from him……
We visit Suriya Nagar slum near Kotturpuram and are planning for development activities in the slum.Apart from that we are contributing towards MSDOS. (Money and SodexHO for Dal, Oil and Sugar) which inturn is being distributed to Old age Homes and Orphanages.
I was in shift this week and was responsible for monitoring scheduled jobs.Thanks to my memory,I forgot to monitor,Later I had run the job.It was full 4 hrs of tension.Oh God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to my onsite counterpart who did not make issue out of it.
I received my performance I.P.F today and it is the same rating as that of previous year.I felt very happy.Hope the rating remains same till the performance Band is announced.
I casually opened the TCS Gems to see that 1000 TCS Gems had been awarded for Service Commitment as I had completed 3 years.I had redemmed the Gems now which was nominated on 29 Sep 2008 for Wallet and a magazine subscription.I was awe struck and happy assuming that myprevious client nominated me because the name mentioned was Judy.”Bulb” :)-
These days I was reading in news about recession and was indirectly affected.But today I am affected directly.This week I am coming in shifts staying here till 12 midnite at TCS Siruseri. CNA is in cost cutting spree and as a result resource was removed from onsite and we need to provided extended hours support from offshore.I am always an early bug but now getting used to late hours.The entire module is calm.I have brought my Archos player to listen songs loudly.Nobody is around.
An outing was planned sometime after I joined CNA but got executed now only.We left around 3:30 by TCS bus and reached VGP.It took us back to school memories when we enjoyed the rides one by one.After getting exhausted we set out to beach, played for some time.We were almost gasping fo air within few minutes of playing.
So finally we came out of VGP after taking photos.We took a bus to reach Food Village.We all took our positions.We enjoyed the dinner along with lots of onsite stories.It was all fun and also got to know many people.Finally left to home.
