Work is Worship :)

Nenu ippudu andari kosam nenu asalu office lo emi work chestano rayabotunna(no no..maree anta detailed ga kaadulendi, chadavatam aapeyyakandi)...idi complete ga Telugu lo raasta...appudu office lo vallu chadive chance undadu (to validate!)
and idi rayataniki inko karanam kooda undi..My project has been launched....yippee




so, ippudu ee project lo naa role enti..asalu memu poddunna nundi evening varaku emi chestam anedi raaasta annamata. well...ee project lo naa role "CMS Expert"..Name sounds cool kada, role kooda cool ye...just appudappudu godavalu ayinappudu, thittukunnappudu feel avvakapote, migata anta time cool ye.
Ippudu in detail ga...first ilanti projects start ayyinappudu, UI team comes up with designs...site ela undali....look & feel etc., decide chestaru...then, they bring it to us. appudu nenu aa site lo kanipinche content ela vastundi, ekkada nundi vastundi, ela manage chestam..indulo edi Editorially driven, edi kaadu...ivanni decide chesta...basically, Editors ee site ni ela use chesi ekkada nundi content populate chestaru ani decide chestam...then business vallatho, inka boldanta mandi pani leni vallatho meetings meeda meetngs jarigi, we come to a decission and then I design those stuff in a Content Management System and then do some coding occassionally to show it on the site ( ante motham nene cheseste, migata team anta emi chestaru cheppandi)

hmm...precisely adi. but this project has been very special to me because idi starting nundi live vellevaraku motham chala close ga involve ayya...and when I was populating the minimum content on the Live Site before handing over to the Editors, I felt this is my Baby :)...yep, very exciting...I can probably tell my grand children(vallaina vinte :( ),that I am the one who got this to live with content.

As this is the next generation online TV, ppl r very excited abt it as it is going to be along similar lines to Hulu, you tube etc.,

hmm...nenu ila Thadi Mattayya type lo feel ayipotonte...my Dad calls me n says "Ameeeerica pelli sambandham vachinde...nuvvu Software Engineer ani chepte, US lo jobs ravatam kastam ta, nuvvu emaina computer courses cheste better antunnaru maga pelli vallu, emantavu?" ani..I felt like shouting "Daaaaad, gimme a breakkkkkkkkkk!"

Life - Internet Embedded


Today...while coming to office...was thinking how Life would be if there are no computers n no Internet....hmm....It is jus beyond my imagination.

Life back home was quite different. nenu Degree vache daaka Colour Monitor unna Computer ye choodaledu ( no exaggeration, maa college lo anni black & white monitors..Cobol ( not sure of the spelling, but who cares ;) and C programming chesevallam).

Now, Past tense nundi present tense ki vaste....jus a quick glance at our schedule ...

ika office ki ragane very deligently Google Chrome open chesi oka tab lo gmail, oka tab lo orkut, inko tab lo facebook open chesi...anni updates ayyaka...then live radio vintu pani cheyyataniki try cheyyatam..

ika work vishayaniki vaste.....anything confusing, worrying, irritating...open Google Search and check forums (yes, very informative and pretty useful!)..so, akkada code vethiki copy&paste cheseyyatam ( yeah...I truly believe that a smart developer is not the one who writes good programmes but the one who knows what to search and how to re-use!)

yeah...ala edo Google gari saujanyam & sahakaram tho work finish ayyindi anipinchi intiki ravatam. Inti ki ragane mana telugu movie sites anni open chesi recent ga add ayyina tv programmes/news type vi choostu vanta chesukuni...edo oka kotha movie online lo stream chesi, adi choosi padukotam....

Ippude janalu TV choodatam thagginchesaru ( but I love it!!!), ppl r moving to Online TV these days..its pretty exciting n interesting to see how we r taking over the Technology...though I am not a tech savy ( far from it), its very welcoming n exciting to see innovative thoughts and hope to see more of it.
