Goal Alignment queries:

Baseline queries:

• What is the existing level of performance? Do we know or have the capability to know (monitoring capability)?
• Are we collecting this data and storing it somewhere?
• What are the statistical parameters of this data, e.g. how much random variation does it contain? Are we measuring this?

Cost and risk queries:

• What is the existing cost of present operations?
• How much will that increase when we go ahead with the initiative?
• What is the risk that this cost will be exceeded or achieved? Have we performed a similar sensitivity analysis on this?

When I reached home, I had felt extremely tired. Don’t know that was due to lack of sleep or fever. I reached Comfort Home at 8:15. Planned not to watch TV. As soon as I lyed down on bed I fell asleep. I never get sleep so fast. I received a call from Karthik too, but was in deep sleep. I got up at almost 10. Strangly my hip, knee and ankle joints were in significant pain. It happend after a good break since I met accident. Knew that no good hotel would be open and I still had temperature, I though to just have sandwitch and juice at Juice Junction. Sandwitch as susual was tasteless, juice was great but was chilled, something I’m not suppose to have.

I seriously don’t understand what does that mean. Billing… and Me. I’m not Stakeholder or DH at covansys to be doing or worried about Billing.

Well, I feel this decision was taken because I refused to come to office on Weekend owing to tear in ligament. So far I have been coming on weekdays inspite of accident, but the moment I refuse to come, there is backlash like this. BTW, I havn’t been doing anything for this project since last two and half weeks. This mail is just gonna make me feel down. they wanna convey to me “They can live without me”, which I don’t hink is impossible. But this kind of treatment is some what dishearteneing, specially by my PM, who is not a typical manager. He is a manager with ears, eyes and heart. I don’t know who polluted him.

Just got a good liner from Priyanka on this situation.

Update 30th July

I met my PM after release letter being handed over. I always wanted to talk with him on this topic as why a (good) person like him will do somethng like this to me . I’ll alwasy speak my mind. Well, he cleared that it was his own decision to put me out of project and gave me the reasons behind it. Not just convincing but true. I believe him very much. He remines me of my TL at Base Technologies. In factwhen I met hime for the first time, I was surprised (He looked very similar to Srikanth) and his (Pandian’s) behaviour was very good .

Old Memory Lane: Really reminds me of my those days of BaseTech. It was a very small team of 5 people. All of age 21-22. Full of crazy ideas to do in life. Inspite of dot com doom, we used to think of doing something great. Well, I still talk about some ideas that we had planned then. Only deterrent was the money to initiate.

something very true in case of me so far in my professional life……

Dream On by Aerosmith (was also performed by them when I attended their show on June 2nd at Palace Grounds)
—-
Everytime that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dust to dawn
Isnt that the way
Everybodys got their dues in life to pay

I know what nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know its everybodys sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life is in books written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know its true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away
(x2)

Dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on…

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away
