the underpaid poster boy!



Within few days of being the part of the CDG(Communication design group) of INFY, i got featured to the launch pad , the new joinee section of CDG portal. sad part, it is a portal at the infosys intranet so , i cant flaunt it with friends, neither do it adds up to my google search count. but i sit on a hallow feel of TOO COOL creature from NID and felt goo when people actually replied back, saying they liked my profile...i must owe the gratitude to orkut and facebook for obvious help in filling profiles.....

where am i?

back to blogger
after ages. not that i ve stopped feeling , its mainly the internet policy at my work place that prohibits any activity with a mail id sign in using their computer resources.

okey start with the topis......beep beep beep
it was a alert call in the outlook express (the otherwise alien MS programme ). i am heading for the first offcial meeting read KT(knowledge tranfer). after 4 weeks of sitting at the bench (that is the name for not doing any prodductive work ) , i am bored like hell and being bugged by arbit people with mind f@#king touch up works. so obviously i was very excited to strat on my own project and make my dent on this earth.

hardly did i know where am i heading for! after intial phases of smiles, introductions and coffee the meeting landed to the core of the project. out of 9 people in the room each one was a subject expert and they connected with each other . the discussion was very friendly and they were talking strategy, actions, user, coding, technology etc etc. i was waiting desparately to be a part of the talk and say some things....but i just waited waited and waited . with a stupid smile on a face and visible nods every now and then, i pretended to understand everything and tried to show that i dont talk much.never in my life i felt so stupid. the meeting was so depressing that i started questioning my abilities ............

in those time of low self belief , the great Stefan Segmister's quote came to my resque."if you are a designer then design, if you are a manager then manage"....................perfect it is and to my solace. large organizations like this will involve so many diverse people and i am here to do work in my own domain.thank god my organisation recognises my expertise and i guess i still can make a dent on this earth.....
