Significant events of 2005 in my life

(Not in any order)

My Best Friends Wedding.

It was probably the most memorable event in my life so far,to see my best friend getting married and move into married life.Was fortunate enough to attend it at the muhurtham :). Those few moments where her life takes a turn.

Getting Sisters from Juniors.
Best find of the year 2005 was to get a gang of sister from my super-super juniors. Used to spend awesome time during my college lunch hours in their class and in BDA Complex(next to my college).

Microsoft Student Ambassador.
Me and few other fellow student champs were made as Student ambassadors glad to get that recognition for our contributions as student champs to the community.

Personal Planner (module of Pragati-Open Source Project Tracking Tool at Novell Software Development (I) Pvt Ltd)
If there will be something I will be proud of till my lifetime it will be this tool,me and my team(Sushma,Swetha and Tabassum) started to develop under Mr.P Abrachan our project manager,mentor and the tools client.It was for this tool I got introduced to 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Personal Software Practices(Yet to finish both the books,details are too heavy to digest by my little innocent brain :) ).Developing this tool in novell was a great experience and it totally changed my perception towards products,analysis,oodesign,testing and what not. Today am still continuing my work for Pragati at Novell only because of the opportunity I got to work on Personal Planner.Thanks to all who were involved with me on this and while in novell
[My Team] Abrachan(PM),Satyanarayana(Dev),Krishna Kumar(SQA),Sridhar(Dev),Hari Krishnan(Designer-planner is good looking even to my eyes only after the design he made),Pavan Kumar(SQA),Kishore(SQA),Arunodayanath(statistician),J Veeraraghavan(MD) and Never to Forget Shalini Madhavan(Dev-was also handling all the communication with my college team who were working on Pragati).

The End...College Life and Begin...Work Life
The Much awaited Paradigm Shift in my life happened on August 3 2005 ...The day I joined Novell as a consultant was one of the most interesting career decision I took with absolutely no idea where its leading me to. I am still in the process of understanding the consequences as it goes in Matrix Movie: "We never make the choices,the choices are already made,we are here to understand the REASON,The PURPOSE of our very existence"

Parents Decision To Shift to Bangalore-End of Am the King style Bachelor Life :)
just kidding am still the king in house,that's what my family says...And quiet interestingly I agree to it.!!!

Working for Placement activities in my college[Vemana Institute of Technology]
Again I was fortunate enough to join hands with Mr.Prachet Bhuyan(HOD CSE dept),Mr RaviKumar(HOD ISE dept) and Cool Dude Sat(officially called as Satish,Student[ISE dept]),to work on all placement activities in the first half of the year. It used to give me immense satisfaction always to be part of this team and while working with companies that come to my college for campus placement.

New neighbor's arrive
Roshan and Divya moving in as my neighbor's was a pleasant event I don't want to miss talking about. They,my another neighbor sister Shalini and myself are still continuing to enjoy life time passing,almost gossiping(but not really coz neither of us enjoy gossiping)

Modern Ramayana Play by my college mates
Moving to more fun...Was the modern ramayana play that we enacted for our last college fest. Probably would not have been a significant event for many but for me it is as I was compering and also because of the loads of fun we had doing it.

College Graduation ceremony
Was significant as I was able to walk on to the dais and recommend our college Management to improve the placement facilities which I wanted to do for a long time improved a bit over the period (ofcourse nothing to do with me going and telling :) but atleast I got that satisfaction).Yet to become excellent.

Novell Brainshare Europe 2005
Pragati and personal planner got exhibited there and won lots of admiration. Proud to be part of the team involved.

Trip To Mahabaleshwar with Family
Man!!! How can I ever forget that for a heavenly trip to Mahabaleshwar near Pune Maharashtra. Spent the best moments with family after a long time. Terrific family reunion.

Two New Friends in life
Got two new friends after college life and interesting neither of them are from my office he he.Already have started raising hand or smiling at soooooo many people in office whenever we crossed for lunch or othertimes.People Networking and adding new nodes to my network never slows down.
