NOBEL Peace Prize

"Mr. Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize", this was the first news I read today morning. On 27th February 2009 Obama was nominated for Nobel peace prize along with other 204 nominations. This itself was very surprising since the nomination deadline for Nobel peace prize was 1st February 2009, which only happens to be 10 days after his taking oath as president of USA. Pardon my ignorance for not knowing his actions for peace in these 10 days and many more days and years before that. Do you know Obama before the US election campaign? So the nobel prize committee was well aware of all Obama's future actions.

Mahatma Gandhi didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. Isn't it strange even though he was nominated five times? Do you think there was and there will ever be anyone born again on this planet who is more eligible than HIM. Now this made me think of what is NOBEL prize. Is this the benchmark for the peace? or is this another political gimmick?

Alfred Nobel who laid the foundation for the destructive weapons was the founder of this organization. Just think Again. That is all I have to say.

Trip to Nagarjun Sagar

03 Nov 2007, It was a bright sunny day and Lavanya and me started to Yatri Nivas at 7:00 am. I parked my vehicle inside and we waited in the AP tourism waiting lounge and our bus to Nagarjun Sagar was supposed to arrive at 7:30. It did come a couple of minutes early but we had to wait for another 30 min as a batch of girls boarded and made the driver wait till one of their friends come. So we started at 8:00am and reached there we had to wait for another 30min for remaining passengers. From there our actual journey started at 8:30am. Driver stoped us at a small hotel for breakfast at 11:00am, we had masala dosa and idli and boarded the bus. It was another 2:30 min drive, reached AP Tourism's Hotel at 1:30pm near Nagarjun Sagar.

Gads@Oracle

I joined Oracle India Pvt. Ltd. Hyderabad on 4th Sep 2004. Rated best player of the team for all the three years I worked at Oracle.

Visited Oracle HQ, California twice, once in Nov 2005 and in April 2007.

It feels hard to type that 23rd NOV 2007 will be my last day at Oracle, there has been so much bonding with this Organisation and the team.

BITS Pilani - It changed me

August 1999 I stepped into BITS, a temple of learning. Its not just acads are taught there. I learned how to "Go Ahead" in life. Made friends for life.

Graduated in June 2004 with M.Sc. Mathematics and B.E Mechanical degrees. The worst part being my CGPA but the best part is that I grabbed a job in Oracle.
