Movie Local Showtime in Google

Cool new feature in Google Search. If you type the movie name, it shows the following results.. the showtime and the theater details. If you click more, it gives you all the other theaters in which the movie the running.

So this is a big relief for us, as we dont have to search for a newspaper to see where all the movie is running. Moreover we can change the city also to see where all the movie is running. Hats off Google! I just love it.

Finally I made it

Session went really good and they all liked it. Around 30 people attended the session ( the conference room's seating capacity is around 40 I believe). Our CTO, Shankar Krishnamoorthy was also there.
Many of them told me that they liked me slide designs and the way i represented the content. You canhave a look at the presentation soon. I am trying to upload it in slideshare. will keep you posted

Twitter presentation @ Aspire Systems

Lifes Best Experiences

Happy to share this information that my brother has started blogging and his blog address is http://lifes-best-experiences.blogspot.com/

He has started by stating a small incident which happened in his 5th grade. Few things I liked in his blog (not necessarily in order)

• short and simple( KISS staregy)
• powerful message in the centre
• a good closing note
• a very good connect ( sharing some personal incident, as you all know nothing connects better than that and it takes us all our school days where similar incident have happened.)

Great start Vaish. Keep it going and all the very best.

PS: one thing I just wanted to add here, some thing which happened 11 years before in some one's life stays on top of their mind and se, its not a happy one though (I am not going to argue whether its right or wrong) .. this clearly states.. as people, as human beings we have to make sure how we are making others feel..esp through our actions and words.. it would stay for years together.. real time example

This is my first diwali outside India. Went to Venkateshwara temple here in Bridge water. Awesome place and lot of indians and the temple is mix of Nothie and Southie style. Has about 15 gods and very well maintained. Lot of people. nice crowd. They also have a good cafeteria underground. .and had nice dinner. ( after one and half month saw and ate a DOSA . phew!! )

Have to go to office.. No holiday here.. waa waa waa. My office in Chennai has declared two day off, so it give 4 days off incl the weekends..

Lot of things in the country of dreams has inspired me. I am going to start a new series called "This is America". - where I gonna write about wats this country abt, how it different from ours, ( u can get a better understanding of this place), how the people are? and lot more.

Folks out there in India, esp in Chennai , have fun bursting crackers.. enjoy these moments, you will realise the importance of friends, family and such festivals when you are left alone. Take it from me.

Life's Little Instruction Book

I got this as a mail forward and i really liked. I believe Life is so simple and we always try to make it complex and worry for little things and missing out the big picture. You can have a look at the list.. 

Have a firm handshake. 

Look people in the eye.

Sing in the shower.

Own a great stereo system.

Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.

Always accept an outstretched hand.

Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.  

Whistle.

Avoid sarcastic remarks.

Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find out.  

Lend only those books you never care to see again.

Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all that they have.

When playing games with! Children, let them win.

Give people a second chance, but not a third.

Be romantic.

Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.

Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as important as it  first seems.

Don’t allow the phone to interrupt important moments.  It's there for your convenience, not the caller's.

Be a good loser.

Be a good winner.

Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.

When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.

Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.

Keep it simple.

Beware of the person who has nothing to lose.

Don’t burn bridges. You'll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same  river.

Live your life so that your epitaph could read, No Regrets.

Be bold and courageous. When you look back on life, you'll regret the things you  didn't do more than the one's you did.

Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.

Remember no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be quick to acknowledge those  who helped you.

Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for  you.

Visit friends and relatives when they are in hospital; you need only stay a few  minutes.

Begin each day with some of your favorite music.

Once in a while, take the scenic route.

Send a lot of Valentine cards. Sign them, 'Someone who thinks you’re terrific.'

Answer the phone with enthusiasm and energy in your voice.

Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless of how trivial their job.

Send your loved ones flowers. Think of a reason later.

Make someone’s day by paying the toll for the person in the car behind you.

Become someone’s hero.

Marry only for love.

Count your blessings.

Compliment the meal when you're a guest in someone's home.

Wave at the children on a school bus.

Remember that 80 per cent of the success in any job is based on your ability to deal with people.

Prepare for glory!

Star Trek-12th Anniversary celebration's @ Aspire Systems

Hi All,
Its been 2 months I have written. Now back with a bang! Inviting you all for our office 12th Anniversary Celebrations on August 2nd , Saturday in Don Bosco School Auditorium, Egmore. Be there to have fun.

Here is the invite for you.

Count your Blessings

Have you ever Appreciated what you have??
Have you Counted your Blessings before??

If No, then its high time.. Most of us always worry about the things we dont have, things we want to have, planing to buy and on how to we can mange to get it.. Every one is so busy in chasing money.. working from morning till night..

Why I am saying all this is we are so busy in converting our dreams to reality and we have forgetten the little moments of Happiness, small sharing and caring for others, Stopping there to help some one and looking back the way we have come in life and thanking the people who have really helped us to reach the position where we are today.
