Hello,
Hope you had a great week.
Weather is dropping down drastically these days. Feels like winter already and it is not even June. The minimum temperatures are hitting single degrees. Not that I am complaining compared to the "cool" Chennai weather. Time to stock up on warm clothing for kids.
Last week happened to sit in on a seminar conducted by HP regarding one of the latest version of their products - ALM 11. One of the key highlights of the session was 2 case study presentations by 2 of their existing customers.The intent being someone like us to learn from their experiences. I witnessed the most pathetic case of public speaking by one of the presenters. It was a horrible experience which made me squirm every now and then. He started off with an apology stating he does not have jazzy presentations as others did. He had absolutely no clue of what he was talking about. One general theme I find here is a bashing of offshoring. I suppose people don't know how to make it successful for them. At the end the very last sentence he said was "Finally...THE most important aspect for this to be successful - do not hire ol' farts like me". The entire audience was so awestruck that they simply didn't have any questions for him. That was so sweet of them (us).
Nandhitha has made her censor criteria very clear for her TV viewing. There should be no fighting, no loud noises, no blood, no fire, no shooting. Of course we have our own parental limitation of not to watch any "PG" (and above) rated sitcoms in her presence. Eventually the only other thing that can be seen is Food network. She's quite fine to swap her cartoon for a food network show.
Have A Great Week!!
