Sun Microsystems many take aways especially for a life time!!


Life at Sun Microsystems !!

A mentor,who wont be lucky if you get a mentor to guide you for what you will be when you start of with nothing.I am the most lucky gal to have one.My friends,people from varied cultures and cities still with a common religion which is friendship.I got friends for a life time irrespective of ages.Biswa as i call him is elder to me by 15 years,he always made me think before i utter or pen down.Thanks for guiding me :)

I organized a fashion show which became a big success and which brought me from a back stage enthusiast to front stage.I was shocked people shouting and when the MC announced My and Saurabh's name.My manager was in a shock :) i was even more shocked,i realized it after a minute that people are calling us.I thoroughly enjoyed my show and the response sitting in the audience :)I can never forget that day,one of my dream come true.All the creativity in me moulded and shaped as a single show that too accepted by everyone.Awesome memories.

A wonderful team i had ,always helpful in everyway both personal and professional as i used to stay alone in Bangalore.

A wonderful friend Naveen who always supported me and took care of me so well more than his sister.

While i was at Sun i am a part of my Band and gave performances.We used to organize all the shows and had an amazing group of friends and its fun remembering all those again.Unforgettable and always remembered.

Staying away from home taught me how life will be.Both good,bad and better :)

Tag line used to suit what we are doing Fun while working @ Sun.The most memorable thing and a big achievement in my life time is being at Sun and being an employee of Sun Microsystems :)

Say NO to Paper and Plastic Bags!!


When i read an article about Paper or plastic?

I immediately said Paper bag but i am surprised and awestruck when i got to know these facts .
It states Neither of them are roughly equal in pros and cons. While convenient addictions, they both gobble up natural resources and cause significant pollution. It takes more than four times as much energy to manufacture a paper bag as it does to manufacture a plastic bag.

And the worst part is it takes 91% less energy to recycle a pound of plastic than it
takes to recycle a pound of paper. But recycling rates of either type of disposable bag are extremely low, with only 10 to 15% of paper bags and 1 to 3% of plastic bags being recycled, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Paper sacks generate 70% more air and 50 times more water pollutants than plastic bags.It takes 11 times as much energy to recycle a pound of paper as to recycle a pound of plastic. And plastic bags require 40 percent to 70 percent less energy to recycle than paper bags.

Its better using a Cloth Bag instead of having debates whether to use a Plastic or a paper bag :)

To limit the debate between paper and plastic is a false choice. In 2008, China, the largest plastic-bag consumer, started banning stores from offering plastic bags for free. The goal has been to encourage shoppers to return to the tradition of using their own cloth bags for shopping.

You know i read that,To produce each week's Sunday newspapers, 500,000 trees must be cut down.
Recycling a single run of the Sunday New York Times would save 75,000 trees.
If all our newspaper was recycled, we could save about 250,000,000 trees each year!

And when it comes to plastic Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour! Most of them are thrown away!
Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill as many as 1,000,000 sea creatures every year!

Use Cloth bags and save Environment which in turn saves Us. :)

True friend is a Blessing :)

I want to wish you all a very happy Friendship Day.Thanks for being a part of my life.You all touched my life in some or the other way and i learnt something from you all:)

Friend as a word has no meaning it is a wonderful feeling and a fabulous bond between people.As long as u have a true friend beside,you are one of the luckiest person on earth.

Only one thing in the world which expects nothing except your smile on your face is your friendship.It expects nothing in return.

One of the finest line that i believe is to “To Have a Friend, Be One”.

Don't judge them.Accept them as they are and because no one is perfect and don't expect them to change for yourself.If they are going in a wrong track its your responsibility to take them in right direction.

There is no gender limit for friendship.Every one is unique.If you do not have egos you will never have issues :)

Small misunderstandings sometimes causes a break off .see to it that the other side also understand and give a chance to your friend because don't forget that they are the one who stood beside you when you want them the most.

There is no language or religion to friendship,its itself is a language that speaks about a friend.

"True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils.

Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island….to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep them is a blessing."

Keep Smiling :)
