Day @ Tirunelveli,Kanyakumari..

Dear All,

A day after the appraisal letter, i was really upset to be in Tirunelveli for the client visit, yet i had to go because of certain commitments. As i landed there i could feel that its a very small town with the size of station, and also it was not crowded. But soon i realised how much is the size of the heart of the people over there, it is a very big size. The people are so respectful and so kind. I had never seen such a good reception. I had been taken to the vehicle, ppl opened the doors, royal treatment.

As i completed my work i just wanted to roam around as i had a good 6 hrs left for the train, i was told to visit Kanyakumari and i made my mind to visit it. the vehicle was arranged and just imagine all the expenses borne by the local client.it was a real treat as it is only the second time i am into this place.

The journey was really amazing, there were around 10,000 windmills running here and there..

And as i land in Kanykumari near the beach where the Bay of bengal,Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean merge i felt really amazing, the feeling is really unexplanable, i felt that standing on the edge of the life and beyond this there is nothing left..... It was one of the gr8 trip i would have ever enjoyed, since it was really unplanned..

May god bring some more opportunities like this and bring some joy in this sorrowfull life...

Performance Pays and ratings.

Hi,

Today was the D day many people wait for in any one career. The Day when are offered there ratings, which directly define where you stand among the lot. As my boss was handing over to me this letter , i really thought i would be among the top 10% of the crowd. All through my life i was among the top crowd and i feel this rating would be of the same sort. 

But to my surprise i had been offered a so called mid rating, i dont know whether i reacted well but i shared my disappointments to my bosses. I really dont know what went wrong in the last year or rather dont know who has performed exceptionally well. Though there has been a cut in bonus,promotion,increment declared, but the rating plays a vital role in accessing the performance of the individuals and i feel cheated.

This pathetic rating is making me wild,as i will miss many opportunities like to in the Tata Administrative services, or some other programs. Though bosses try to pursue, but i really feel demoralized, dejected,demotivated.

I really feel that rating is more than only performing, it may also be about having good rapport with the decision makers, i beleive that this rating is the reflection of that perception.

Being a self motivator,self starter i never wanted to be in a groove, but i feel that i need to slow things, i need to slow the pace of the work. 

 lets see what is lying ahead... May god open his eyes and see what is really happening....
