4 Years at RedEgg – A Special Day 12-12-12



Today is one of the special days like 01-01-01, 02-02-02, 03-03-03, 04-04-04, 05-05-05, 06-06-06, 07-07-07, 08-08-08, 09-09-09, 10-10-10, 11-11-11 and 12-12-12.  In hundred years (20th Century), these dates will come only 12 times in a year.  So each and every one in our world is waiting and considered this date as a special day in 2012 because we won’t get this in our life time again (for people who born before 1985s).


Apart from this Date: 12-12-12 is something more special for me because I joined in RedEgg family on the same date [12-12-08].  In my 4 years of experience, I can understand my career growth from where I started; it is like yesterday I joined here.  After joining this organization, it taught me and shaped me to reach a good position and few experience will definitely help me in other part of my life.  It made me to realize who I am and where should I focus.  Each and every day I am learning something new to develop myself and for my organization’s growth.  


I take this opportunity to thank all my supporters, team members and mentors to help me in tough times.  I made many mistakes in my career but people believed me and gave more opportunities which motivate me to work more to prove myself.


Last but not least, I am happy to work at RedEgg which gave me popularity among public.  Many people approached me for job opportunity when they came to know that I am working here.   

My next year objective is to do something for my organization.  I feel proud of work in RedEgg family and my goal is to work hard to showcase myself as a valuable asset for this organization.


I love my job more than my company and like to work for more and more years in RedEgg.  For past 4 years I worked and focused only on my career growth but from next year onwards I will work for other people’s growth who is working along with me.  I try to help them to reach their career goal by guiding them in right path.


Overall 2012 is the successful year for me because of God’s grace and wishes.  I hope the year ahead brings me lots of good luck, success and happiness in my life.


I apologize, if I missed anyone to mention.


Thank You Once Again! :)

A Story for People Who Extend Working Hours

Few days back I received a mail from one of my friend, a story about IT employees lifestyle and answered why IT people extend their working hours, working on weekend/holidays etc.  In that mail it is mentioned as, this email is sent by one of the leading $6 billion worth IT firm's co-founder and chair person Mr. N. R NM to all of his employees but I am not sure whether it is sent by him or not.  The message given in that mail is a fact, so I too like to share this message in my blog.


It’s half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on… PCs still running, coffee machines still buzzing… And who’s at work? Most of them ??? Take a closer look…

All or most specimens are ?? Something male species of the human race…
...
Look closer… again all or most of them are bachelors…

And why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!! Any guesses??? Let’s ask one of them… Here’s what he says… ‘What’s there 2 do after going home…Here we get to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee that is why I am working late…Importantly no bossssssss!!!!!!!!!!!’

This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other off-shore offices.

Bachelors ‘Passing-Time’ during late hours in the office just bcoz they say they’ve nothing else to do… Now what r the consequences…

‘Working’ (for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the institute or company culture.

With bosses more than eager to provide support to those ‘working’ late in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good feedback, (oh, he’s a hard worker….. goes home only to change..!!). They aren’t helping things too…

To hell with bosses who don’t understand the difference between ‘sitting’ late and ‘working’ late!!!

Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra working hours.

So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married and start having a family… office is no longer a priority, family is… and That’s when the problem starts… b’coz u start having commitments at home too.

For your boss, the earlier ‘hardworking’ guy suddenly seems to become a ‘early leaver’ even if u leave an hour after regular time… after doing the same amount of work.

People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labelled as work-shirkers…

Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays… though) leave on time are labelled as ‘not up to it’. All the while, the bachelors pat their own backs and carry on ‘working’ not realizing that they r spoiling the work culture at their own place and never realize that they would have to regret at one point of time.

So what’s the moral of the story??


* Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!!
* Never put in extra time ‘ unless really needed ‘
* Don’t stay back unnecessarily and spoil your company work culture which will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your colleagues.

There are hundred other things to do in the evening..

Learn music…..

Learn a foreign language…

Try a sport… TT, cricket………..

Importantly,get a girl friend or boy friend, take him/her around town…

* And for heaven’s sake, net cafe rates have dropped to an all-time low (plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change.

Take a tip from the Smirnoff ad: *’Life’s calling, where are you??’*

Please pass on this message to all those colleagues and please do it before leaving time, don’t stay back till midnight to forward this!!!

IT’S A TYPICAL INDIAN MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARD WORKING & 100% COMMITMENT ETC.

"PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DON’T KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME. SIMPLE !"

Regards,

N. R. NM


Thanks for your time:
This posting is not to hurt anyone.  It is dedicated to all employees who create 'Hard Worker' image through long working hours.  Friends please share this message to all employees to change their lifestyle.

Seven Things That Motivate Employees More Than Money

1. Stay Big-hearted with Praise

People deliberately expect from employers and it’s one of the easiest things to give.  Praise every improvement that you see your team members make. Once you’re comfortable delivering praise one-on-one to an employee, try praising them in front of others.

2. Allow people think for new ideas

People do not like new ideas or plans which are just instructed without any discussions with them. Instead of telling to people, better you can ask people to come up with ideas.

3. Never criticize others

No one wants to hear that they did something wrong.  Try an indirect approach to get people to improve, let them learn from their mistakes.

4. Give leadership responsibility to everyone

Highlight your top performers’ strengths and let them know that because of their excellence, you want them to be the example for others.


5. Weekly once lunch with Top performer

Surprise them. Don’t make an announcement that you are going to invite for a lunch.  It’s an easy way to remind them that you notice and appreciate their work.

6. Give company parties

You can provide company outing, company lunch and parties to encourage people and let them feel happy & comfortable working with you.  Don’t just wait until the holidays to do a company activity; organize events throughout the year to remind your staff is important for you.

7. Share success and failure

When your company does well, celebrate. This is the best time to let everyone know that you’re thankful for their hard work and success.  If there are disappointments, share those too. Always stay honest and transparent, share where the company stands and the company’s expectation from employees.

Nokku Varmam - A Powerful Martial Art:

Nokku Varmam - We heard this word somewhere but not sure rite?  Yes, it is a ‘Martial Art with Power of Eyes’.  Few months ago, Tamil film named ‘7 am Arivu’ was released.  It is a wonderful movie expressed hidden truth about Bodidharman and his talents on Medicine, Self defense (Kung fu fight), Martial Arts etc.   In that film anti-hero China man (Dong Lee), he controlled opponents with his eye power and made others to do things according to his wish.  While seeing this scene in '7am Arivu' movie people cannot accept and started commenting on it.  I too thought it is not possible and added as Cine Masala only for commercial purpose (money motive).



                                                                 
                                                                   'Bodidharma'
 


                       
                                                            '7 am Arivu Movie'

But after watching ‘Nampinal Nambungal’ last week episode in ZeeTamizh TV at 10pm.  I was amazed, scene which I felt not possible in movie is shown as live. performance . Yes, now I too agree we can control other person with our eye power.  It is one type of martial art used in crucial situations, if practiced well we can also do it perfectly. 




                                                                 'Kalaripayattu'


Few good Asaans are still alive they are teaching people on martial arts.  But Nokku Varmam is not taught to all and also it is not that much easily to learn.  The basic requirement for learning varmam art is 1) Should be discipline, 2) Patient and c) hard practices.  




NB: Above video captured from Zee Tamizh TV using mobile camera.  So Its clarity may be low.

Asaan will not teach this art immediately to all practitioners because people may misuse this art and it will create severe problems to public.  After closely monitoring practitioner's behavior they will decide whether to teach them or not. Asaan also stated that practitioners should intake few herb juices which support to achieve ‘Nokku Varmam’.   

Asaan Mr. Rajendran showed live 'Nokku Varmam' performance over 4 people in front of  Zee Tamizh production unit(one among them from Zee Tamizh TV staff came for interviewing the show).  Asaan made four persons fell down by his Nokku Varmam without touching them from long distance.  It was unbelievable but true. After this Asaan reached the spot gave first aid to deceased people and rescue them.  He stated that we have 10 sensitive points in our body, if we hit on those spots it may lead opponent to death.

Research says, origin of this traditional martial art from Tamil Nadu which was first introduced and taught by Sidthar Agastheeyar Mamuni.  It was practiced well by people who lived centuries ago when we were under king's rule.  People living in Kerala may think origin of Varma Kalai is from their place but that is not true.  Saddest news is Varmam Kalai's origin is from Tamil Nadu but now it is not familiar here but the same is  very popular in Kerala and China.  Nowadays its fame is getting lost because of technologies available in modern world and youngsters not showing interest towards it. We are losing our ancient arts one by one.  Atleast one person from a family should learn this art and teach this to future generation otherwise soon this art will get destructed.  Mr. Rajendran says every father should encourage their son to learn our ancient martial art.

Special thanks to Zee Tamizh Television for an informative show.

The Famous "Kolaveri Virus" - My Views


Now It is “Why this Kolaveri di” viral fever engulfed all over the world.  So I too like to share my views about this song.  

First of all, I would like to congratulate Movie “3” team for marking one of the hit songs crossed 36,684,137 viewers in YOU TUBE.  In Tamil (Kollywood) film industry, we have got many famous music directors and play back singers but I personally feel proud, one of our Tamil actor breaks all the records.  The most highlighted part is our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, person who is not interested in other entertainment activates (only in appearance I guess) called actor Dhanush and congrats him.  All over the world wishes and credits flows to Dhanush, Ishwarya and their team.

Congrats once again to Kolaveri Team. 

We have many songs with wonderful thoughts are still in the row but how this song become this much hit.  It is enigmatic.

Research says this song also hits Nano Generian fans.

Ok, now it is time to write about my view.  I feel there is a business tactics behind this success and popularity. 

In 2003, Cadbury's found itself in the eye of a storm, when a few instances of worms in its Dairy Milk bars were reported in Maharashtra.  In less than two weeks, the company launched a PR campaign for the trade.  When this issue happens, everyone talking bad about chocolate and stop buying it.  Its economy came down.  The strong PR team brings Amitabh Bachchan to advertise their product.  In advertisement when Mr.Bachchan shows us eating chocolate in front of screen we forget about the bad incident.  Now many people forget that issue too. After advertisements given by Mr. Bachchan Cadburys reaches its old trade mark and now it is a successful product providing optimum profit.



When this kolaveri song released in internet, Mr. Bachchan was the first person tweeted in his page.  After this many people in India started viewing this song (People Taught: If Mr. Bachchan says its good it, It must be good).  There are some people viewed this song because of Mr. Bachchan's comments.  Hence kolaveri virus spread all over India and crossed borders too.  Now it reached a special place in world’s record.


While seeing this chocolate issue and Kolaveri song issue I felt there is a deal between Mr.Bachchan and Kolaveri Team.  May be who knows only God knows. Also film director Ishwarya daughter of a great Superstar, she know how to market her products.  She used new booming social media effectively for promoting her product.  



Now all the audience expectation about movie “3” goes high.  Let us wait and see. .

Kolaveri virus will die after couple of weeks of movie release.

It is my own view, if it hurts die-hard fans of Dhanush I apologize for that.

Thanks
