Life is totally on a roll nowadays. I can't just imagine its almost one year from the time when I came to Bangalore and started looking for the job. The time seems to be flying like anything with lots of turns and twists.Soon I will be finishing my one year in corporate world and the journey till now was pretty interesting.
I have got some really good colleagues which one fresher always looks for and the places around Coimbatore also add some freshness on the weekends.Also learning the German Language and then working with German Counterpart is something new and exciting. Its a great experience to know how much differences are there in the Life Style and the working culture.It feels pretty nice when your counterpart encourages you to leave early and not to work on weekends. Once when my German colleague was in India, I just asked him his view on the working style and it was really embarrassing to hear from him that we guys in India waste a lot of time in office hours and then work late night to complete the work.
Today after some one and half years, I took cricket ball in my hand and it was like my body was totally jammed after only one over which I bowled.I used to be very good athlete and seriously I feel like start doing some sort of physical exercise. I think I should start listening to people who are always encouraging me to do some physical activity.
I miss manipal and my friends a lot, always people find so interesting when I tell the things which I did in manipal. There will always some small sessions going on in office where I will be telling them something about manipal and my college life.Anyhow they end up saying me as Lafanga Parinda in the end.Just for information Lafanga Parinda is the recent word which I have taught to my Kerala colleagues.
That's enough of from my side.I am just hoping for a very relaxing weekend ahead with some really nice North Indian food.Oh I forgot to tell you, South Indian food is still something to which I am not able to adjust with.Hope my taste also changes soon and I also start enjoying food..
Tschuss...

Office!!!
So the phase has come in my life too when you don't even realize how the week passes by.My work in office has ramped up significantly in last few weeks.One observation which I have made is your mood after office totally depends on how you have accomplished your tasks in Office.For instance today I was in office for 12hrs but still i am feeling so fresh and writing this post.
Sometimes I do feel why don't we have all these companies in North India too so that I can also stay with my family and work. I don't think I will ever get such an opportunity.Actually there are so many keralites in my team and when I see them rushing from office on Friday I too get this feeling of going home on every weekend.Any how there is no use in thinking all this.
Last week it was Jayant's and Anubhav's Birthday. Since we are at different places now, 12 o clock birthday bumps are replaced by just a 5 min Birthday wishes on phone.By the way APS was lucky as he visited them, I somehow couldn't plan due to some urgent tasks.
It seems like this post is getting boring as there is no beer party or any happening thing going on to discuss.The only interesting thing going on is that I am learning German language nowadays.Its better I finish up now and when I sign in for next time I will make sure that I have something to write.

omveer in (Manipal -----> Coimbatore)
So here comes my first post after coming to Coimbatore.Now as the blog name "omveer in manipal" doesn't make much sense but still don't feel like changing it.I will keep it in this way,Earlier this name used to signify physical presence of Omveer in manipal but now it will signify mental presence of him in manipal. Some part of Omveer still thinks of the days he had in manipal all the time.
When I was asked in interview "are you fine in working in Coimbatore", I gave very nice explanations like I am staying away from home since class 8th and very adjustable to any place or environment and blah blah blah,but seriously its not very easy. I am still struggling when it comes interacting with local people as Tamilnadu is too much into Tamil language but one thing I would really appreciate is the friendly nature of people here.Food is the other problem, here people have same menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner i.e Idly and Dosa, the only thing changes is chutney. So some days back I decided to cook on my own and hopefully will continue it with some more time.
The other thing when it comes to new place is friends.And I am very happy to have very good friends here who are always happy to help me when it comes to talking with someone in Tamil.Its really nice to have friends coming from different cultures,then only you wonder how big our country is.Even in office, the atmosphere is so friendly.For any kind of my doubt there will be many people always ready to clear it.
One more thing which is helping me preoccupied with my initial days here in Coimbatore is German Language Training.Everyday in office I have two and half hours of German Language Training, which is a real opportunity to know about German culture along with loads of fun.
So that was all from me. Don't have much to write as omveer is no more in manipal but still he is in process of figuring out the ways to make his life atleast 50 percent as exciting as it was in manipal. I will surely get back to you once the goal is achieved.
Regards
Omveer

Life is Good..
Things are going so well, enjoying every moment of it and just feel like this time never passes by.Actually it is something what we call "Dreams coming true" and getting into Bosch was exactly the "Dream coming true" for me.
It has been three weeks in Bosch and soon I will be getting my first salary.I always use to plan for this money but with just one week left I am still not sure what to do with that.My family members and Yashi comes to my mind as soon as I think of doing something with that money.Since I am in Bangalore, my family is not with me but am happy to have Yashi with me.Oh how can I forgot to mention Liverpool accessories,things which I always wanted to buy as soon as I start earning on my own. I have lined up everything in mind starting from Liverpool Tshirt, Jacket to Mug and key chain.
Being from Manipal always made me realize that I am from some special place not like a regular engineering college. And this is not because of the education standards but it has more to do with the enjoying part of life so that's bit sad part of it. One day a trainer of ours said "The manipal campus is so beautiful and its more like a resort as beach is just some 3 kms from the place" also today one of friend Dikshit said "what omveer you are from manipal and you don't even smoke".Any how I am always there to start up an open discussion about the good education standards too in Manipal.
One thing I noticed in all these days in Bosch is that inspite of being in Karnataka from last 4 years I never allowed myself to get into the culture of Karnataka. Oh it seems I am little too harsh on myself in last sentence, its not being allowing myself its because it was not required.When I was in manipal,whenever I wanted to talk, there were always people who know Hindi and as when ever I need north Indian food there was always Rajasthani mess.All I am telling this is because I am going through this transformation now. All I am surrounded by now are people from Andhara, Kerala and Tamilnadu, Initially I felt bit of out of place but now I really enjoy their company.
The only one thing which is bothering me so much nowadays is Liverpool's current form.Just one win in last 9 matches and even in champions league their chances of moving to next round seems to be very less as its not just Liverpool performing well in remaining matches but also Lyon beating Florentia.Any how I still respect for the history these guys are carrying with themselves. Its just about getting a win and things can get back on to the track anytime.
Its all from my side as per now.Its Liverpool match just in 15 minutes and I have to get into match preparation (wearing my Liverpool Tshirt as it has got a record of never seeing a loss).

smiles all around...
Something very special happened with me few days back and it was like dream coming true.I got selected in Robert Bosch Engineering and Business solutions as Associate Software Engineer.Now I am strong believer of the saying "God have a special plan for everyone" and Bosch was the special plan for me.
November 5th was my joining date and I was pretty excited for my first day in Corporate life.Nowadays we are having a training program which will be of 2 months and then I will be getting my desk. These starting days are really turning out to be memorable and wonderful. Its all about interacting with different people and knowing them.Most of time we are involved in activities which finally gives us an understanding for working in team with full commitment and passion.Its really very surprising to see that just in some 10 days, we all feel so much comfortable with each other and have a very friendly environment.

Hi...I am still alive!!
Hello Everyone..
I was waiting for so long to write the last post for this blog.My idea was to write the last one after getting into a new life but frankly speaking things are not so clear right now and still there will be some time before you see that last post.
My so called project semester i.e the last semester was over in May 2009 but my final goodbye to manipal was on July 10Th as I had to complete one project in Manipal Dot Net.When I left manipal I was in pretty good situation as I thought I was very good in NTPC interview and also I was expecting something positive from University of Leicester application.
But the worst wait I have ever experienced was waiting for NTPC result. It was expected to come in first week of August but it was declared on Sept 3rd. Since that day the so called upside down started. All a sudden, the doors which I was expecting to welcome me were closed.I couldn't clear the NTPC interview, University of Leicester sent me long mail making me understand that there is some visa problem with this Blended Course and the person whom I thought as Guru in all these four years made me realised I am coming back to him just because I failed everywhere else. I still have the same respect for him as his words gave me strength to move on and broadened my horizons.
After having two job offers from college you cant really expect such a situation I am into.I came to Bangalore and will be so thankful to four people through out my life for helping me in this time. Right now I am looking for some opportunities so that It will enhance my technical skills till I get my joining. Till now there is no success but as my Dad use to say "you never know, it might be on its way to you".
Still Smiling

Just an update
Some days back one of my friend while chatting said "you are having a very good last semester", "yes it is" I replied. I have already started my fourth project in Manipal Dot Net. It all started with correcting the Images coming from a Fish Eye lenses and now We are not only able to correct the images but can also Stitch Two and Three images from Fish Eye lenses and produce a Streaming Panoramic View.The journey at Manipal Dot Net has been very exciting till now. There has been some tense moments but that's part of life.Now my probably last project is to stitch Four images coming from the Fish Eye lenses and I am working hard to get it working before I finally leave Manipal.Since sufficient work has been completed we presented our paper in one more national level conference and bagged 1st prize yet again. So this was all from my work.
Liverpool had a tough exit in Champions league and even with Arsenal in EPL they played draw, hence making things more difficult to fulfill the dream of coming on top in English Premier league.I just hope Arsenal play the same way with Man United as they played with Liverpool, I too hope some resistance coming up from Man City against Man United. These two matches can change the equations and help Liverpool come at top.
Just saw the date on my Comp and it said 1st May, that quickly reminded me that Aps and Anubhav are gonna leave in some 20 days to home.This is not the usual holiday break this time, but they will be leaving Manipal forever.It will be tough leaving the people you were together for all four years, but that's how life goes.I am feeling like enjoying these 20 days to the fullest with these guys, don't know when we will meet again.
So this was how life moving at my end and I will be quite busy through out this month with the project and meeting many of my friends as they all are coming for their final presentation. Oh I totally forgot to mention, even I have got my final presentation on 21st May.
That's all from me.
