Clocks inches 10 to Midnite & am blogging :)

Ha.. Nothing better to close a Sunday than blogging activities from my past week.. Hot developments on professional front. learnt my BU is getting into ReStruct mode.

Whats in it for me
* My team could be reporting to a new Org'n in 4 months
* My role is in more limelight.
* Good bye to my ask for a promotion
* more attrition on the cards.
Good thing is the HR buggers committed on a hike in Q4, whihc was a relief.

Had a good handson @ TechEd. No nonsense stuff on BPM/BRM.Product needs to mature a bit but SAP Is on right track finally. Shd throw out some of the crap they have inhouse. If only they could close out Tibco buy, shd have some exciting stuff to work on next year. Have set my eyes on the TOGAF 9.1 this time. Will be taking a week off to finish this. Hopefully iCMG shd have a course by EoY.Am not waiting for the internal teams to come up with an Agenda. They never will anyway!!.

Am not going to office tomorrow. What do you think, no other bugger works on a Sunday, Paid Low, drowning with RFPs and a team which expects Plum postings with no responsibilities to help me drive business. Sorry guys.. Change is in cards. :)

Only bright thing today was the Smile on Nikhil's face :)

Back on blog track

Wish i could write 2 consecutive blogs sitting @ the same City. No excuses though. Just get dragged away by these mundane transactions which suck up my time day on day.Quickly typing this in as i wait for my geyser to do its job :) & chatting with my sis on the next stock to buy for Nikhil(Unitech/Hindalco seems to be her flavor).She just hung up its Unitech @ 80 odd bucks.. good..

BTW talking of stocks, my investments managed to avg out @ 100% post the recession and recent jumps. Jet & Textile plays have been hanging heavy on the portfolio though, gotto shed them when opportunity turns up.

Will be off next week to Bangalore for SAP TechEd '09.Have lined up a few handson session on NW BPM. Hopefully this shd be exciting. But the season's flavor seems to be on the analytics space..my peer CL feels BPC is gonna be the next hot tech out thr from SAP stable. As a non Analytics guy, all i could make out is its basically an XL app loaded with lots of Macros to make your Data analysis easier.

Off am to water my new flower bed , seeded with ALSERs(hope i dont sound too corny) and my hot bath..
