Sun Microsystems was showcased in today's "Indigo at work" program (9am - 10am). I understand this is a weekly program on Radio Indigo FM 91.9, where different companies are showcased. Today, the host Malavika talked about work culture at Sun and what it means to be a Sun employee working in Bangalore. Some Sun employees were also on air talking about what they like at Sun. Good show, folks!

My IPG colleagues attending Sun Tech Days 2008 in Hyderabad have been doing a great job with "live blogging". They provide hourly updates about what is happening there. It is great to be able to know what is happening through these "happening blogs". Check out Sun Tech Days 2008 Live Blogging for more information.
Blogging really energizes me. I am posting a lot of entries in my personal blog, called "Just Me!". I thought it would probably be better to restrict this blog to Sun and related stories. Personal entries on my Sun blog would be fine once in a while.
Some of my recent entries:

Thanks to my cousin Anand, I am the proud owner of a high-end wireless router! I called up my ISP, and a field person came in this evening to setup the router for me. The setup process was real quick - under 10 minutes. Now, I can freely access Internet anywhere inside my home and even outside (within the range of my wireless router). This has given me a great sense of freedom. Freedom from cables and freedom from being restricted to a single place at home for accessing Internet.
Go wireless now!

I know this is delayed - but, wish you all a happy and fun-filled new year 2008! New year is a time to make and break resolutions. I started with a couple of resolutions and seem to have broken that already :-) Meanwhile, this is a time to say "thank you" to all the regular readers of this blog. You make my day.
I was a little busy last week collecting the investment proofs that need to be submitted as part of my tax declaration. These receipts seem to be strewn all across and I took some time to set my cupboard in order. Every time, I resolve to keep my accounts and investments in order - but I can't really say I am very successful with that. May be you readers can offer some tips?
My cricketing dream ended long back, but why a blog now? Because blogs did not exist then :-)
This happened one evening almost 20 years back in Chennai. I was playing with a bunch of friends...all kids then :-) Of course, we all played in our own street. This is professionally called "street-cricket" or "gully-cricket" these days. We had to bowl first and I clearly remember we were able to contain the opposing team's score. And then we had our chance to bat. I don't remember whether I opened our innings or not, but I knew I had the herculean task of taking my team to victory. And I did blast off. Not far into the game, I thought I really made 4 runs...(the ball should reach the end of the road for me to score a four). But alas, the ball went with such a force towards the boundary that it toppled a full can of milk. It was outside our neighbour's house and the milkman was milking the cow and apparently he had just completed milking the cow. Under 5 seconds, all of us disappeared from the road. Actually we went hiding. We did not come out for a full one hour. By then the milkman had gone, and so was the cow. Of course, I did hear our neighbours talking in hushed tones about who could have actually toppled the can of milk.
Our family moved out of the area, and until today I have not revealed this secret to anyone. There ended my dream of playing cricket. I remembered all this when a wave of nostalgia hit me as we played cricket last week as part of IEC sports day. Good old days, eh?
The world celebrates the 120th birth anniversary of Srinivasa Ramanujan, the math genius today (December 22)!

The IEC Eveninger reported thus:
The GPD team led by Geetha and Padmaja "carromed out" the opposition to win the Carrom Doubles championship this evening. The run up to the finals included defeating strong teams. Ragunath and Rahim, also from IPG tried their chance yesterday but luck was not in their favor. Congrats Geetha and Padmaja. Incidentally, Geetha is also the winner of this year's badminton championship.
