Not out again !!!

We, RCL team is into semi finals of Decca Euphoria Cricket tourney. Today there were lot of exiting matches on the Super 8 round. We played against the youngsters team named Strangers. They batted first and scored just 38. We won by 7 wickets. Finished off in the 7th over itself. I took 6 runs and was NOT OUT again :-). Tomorrow morning is Semi finals. If we win that match, then we need to play finals the same day at 2 pm. Within two days, total play, made me completely tired. Need to regain energy as tomorrow's match is the crutial one for our team. God helps us !!!

Decca Euphoria Cricket tourney starts today

Decca Euphoria Cricket tourney started today. The very first match was my team with another team in wipro itself. There are total of 9 teams participating. 5 from Wipro and 4 from Cisco India. Today's match we won with ease. Oponent scored 63 runs from 10 overs. We could finish the match at the 7th over itself with 8 wickets in hand. I was not out with 7 runs. Tomorrow is the quarter finals against a very young team, just pass out from college and joined as freshers. They are very energetic and have the stuff in them. No idea how my team with all oldies including me will fight against them tomorrow. :-). But will surely give a good fight even if we loose...

More updates to come by....

Life @ Pune

Hmmm.. it was tough... This is the second time am visiting Pune. First one was on Nov 2nd 2007 and this time it was March 3rd 2008. It was a deputation from Wipro at Idea Cellular Customer site. Stay was excellent and very pleasing. Was there in a 5 star service appartments. But hardly I could enjoy those facilities 'coz most of the time I was there @ Idea data center. This is one of the biggest project/solution implementation for Cisco in link with IBM all over Asia. Solution is called Cisco Voice Portal alias CVP. There were multiple issues with the Cisco IOS gateways for which I had been asked to be at site for understanding/analysing and reproducing the issue. First time it was slightly tough for me 'coz I was handling such a big project first time and there are many engineers awaiting for the test results from my side to fix. This time the situation was more worse. Idea was about to cancel the project. But being at site, I was able to dig out many vital clues on the issues and could give proper results to be inhouse team which was appreciated at the BU group head level, both from Cisco/Wipro. Both the times I could work with a very co-operative team in Idea. This was really a great experience and exposure for me in my career.

:-( Couldn't visit any place in Pune. Ate vada pav, poha and all those marathi stuffs.
