Nano months @ Cognizant

It has been so long, since my last post and it comes coincidently along with end of my stint at Cognizant Chennai and back to my base location-Coimbatore.

At the outset, after my training I was in CBE waiting to get into some assignments and at last midst of tough times Chennai beckoned me on deputation to join Hartford on 7th July and since then I have been here till date.

Being at work, Hartford was the first to teach me “What is What” in terms of BISQuAD and though if not in full it was a good kick start to carry forward. Madhu's ever smiling face, Mahesh and Siva's Project acquaintance are worth to envy of…Senthil have been at his best when it comes to helping me.

Most challenging thing here was being at the mid of execution, not in a position to do a better justification to my work without being fully equipped with Biz.Knowledge and most of the times i kept on Nudging my team amidst their work and it’s my introspection that it’s high time I evolve as " Plug and Play" resource with an ability to extract what I want from people as effective as possible.

At final stages, I understood that I missed out a lot in terms establishing quick relationships, putting in place better communications at early stages which probably would have reaped richer benefits out of the stay and for sure would patch it up in the days to come.

Apart from this, I always had a passion over Business and People Management and here i had a chance to fuel it by observing people across the team, their diplomacy and perspectives. Across the team every Single individual had something to learn from either directly or indirectly .To quote a few Sabitha's "Converge for Cup of Coffee"/Madhu's,Vaithi's “Fun at Work’ spirit /Balaji’s "Be better @ Business" /Mahesh's "Passion for Defects" were a few that I admired. With all this adroitness in place, Hope leveraging emotional bonding among people would help enhance retention and elevate Hartford to greater levels. Godspeed Team Hartford.

Personally ,Being at Chennai was all together a different experience from Coimbatore, Days never started or either ended early as it was before, by the time I commute to my office changing three share auto's shared by at least 10 members i ll be drenched with sweat and turn lazy .

On the other side, there were times when I had some air to breath with Suresh accommodating us in his car along with Sathya, Sadhana and Vaithi. All those fun-filled commutations were my best moments and was soothing enough to keep my soul tranquil. Thanks a million all Stakeholders .You people would remain intact in my heart for life time.

Stay at the guest house was simply fantastic with sumptuous food and a fabulous ambience with bunch of DW Coimbatore accompanying me throughout. Being a nocturnal I enjoyed late night chats, mid-night birthday blasts, candle lit cake cuttings going to sleep at 2 AM, turning up late to work next morning getting screwed up by Mahesh though managed to escape most of the times

Yet another thing to cherish is- in all these three months here, the frequency of the team lunches was amazing and I never stayed back at my place during weekends ,without roaming around the city..I should have hardly missed out the hotspots of this Metropolitan. Having a Buzzing life around all these days, I am sure once i get back to Coimbatore, it would deem to me as a retreat Zone.

I foresee the lines
“ Woods are lovely, dark and deep, Miles to go before I sleep and Tons to learn for long run”.

For What’s Next–Would say “Its the hope Vidhyaa has something in stock that I deserve”

Will Keep you Posted…..:)
