At last @ US

Its been 1 year since I posted, (Mar 2007) was the final time, my blog wore a new look.

Post March 2007, when I completed Cingular Forms & Collaterals Project (@ Sapient), I was nominated for 2 projects. One @ UK (For a financial Client), and another for a diet & fitness Client, eDiets.

ATG was entering my life. I got trained in ATG by Mr.Srinivasan (Vamsoft Tech Chennai) From june 8th till June 15th. Then on, we were travelling towards the black hole in our Software Galaxy. Naga, Myself, Pavan, Siddarth, Bindya travelled to Chennai. I also had my wife Priya with me.

5 days of training resulted in an eye opener for all of us in ATG. After the training, Amma, Priya and myself went to Srirangam. On Return, June 2007 end, eDiets got kicked off.

After terrible planning, we started facing continuous schedule slippages. The first famous Software Story we built using ATG was Forget Password Story.

Then on till Oct 07, it was a jam packed 3 week release with a team of 16 mostly fresh to ATG and in specific fresh to J2EE. Naga, also known as The ATG God, The Naga was a driving force in the project.

By Feb 08, we had already sailed rough weather and our project went live.

During the months of June 07, Priya and I were blessed with MM. MM started to grow inside Priya and happiness grew inside both of us.

Chinmaya Mission Hospital was the pivotal health clinic on CMH Road Bangalore. I think, its the doctor Mrs. Nambiar who took a great care of Priya.

The unforgettable anxious moments of August 07 which declared that Priya is for sure going to be a Mom and I getting promoted to level of Dad were ecstasy filled.

Finally, the days of Srijayanthi were also filled with Joy @ 105 Kalpanas paradise where we enjoyed amma's delicious dishes.

For even, the moment of Diwali During November 07 was fun filled as, all of my brothers, Murali Anna, Raju Anna, Srinidhi came to our home.

In each of the occasions, my Maamanar and Krishna used to come on time for festivals and make our gathering even more happier.

It was during the month of September 07 when Amma wanted to go to Krishna Anuyatra. Amma left for that. It was 27 days in total. She was accompanied by all of my Periyammas and maamis.

During that time, Priya's Mom came over to Bangalore, had a very good time and we were going to our relative's places. Finally it was Andal Paati who stayed with us for 1 month @ Bangalore and made our place so energetic.

During month of December (27th), Priya along with Me and Amma left for Srgm. It was for the delivery time. For 2 months till Jan 31, I had to spend life in isolation. Tough time.

Feb 11 08 marked the day when Priya gave birth to Magizhmaaran. Saturday night onwards (Feb 10) She developed pain and finally she has to be operated for MM to firm foot on this world.

In the meantime by Oct 07 I got my H1b Papers through Infowave and I had decided to go for stamping on Dec 07. Dec 19 07 I got stamped. The stamping was a big fun though. I went to Venkatesan chittapa's place where I firm footed my career and life. From there, I got blessed and got my H1b Stamped.

Reaching Sapient, I got my papers ready and waited for MM's birth. After returning back on Feb 25th 08, I resigned from Sapient on March 4th. From then on March 19th I got relieved.

Apr 08 08 was the day I was prepared to Fly. Having a heavy heart I left Srgm on Apr 07 08. Apr 05 08 was my first wedding Anniversary and it was a Amma vasai. I had blessings from Amma Appa and all perumal.

Leaving to US was not so easy as I have to mentally prepare myself for all hurdles. That too without a long term job in hand. I reached US on Apr 08 08. San Jose was my destination. Karthik, my best friend and my Maapilai were eager to receive me @ San Jose Airport. Unfortunately due to bad weather, I got my flight directed towards SFO From Chicago.

Life went on. I joined BPA Inc and its still going on. Lets meet after some time. Penning down all my experiencecs as of 17 Jun 08
