Its 8th Feb 2016 and I am writing part II of my memoir. A long time has passed (perhaps 2 year) after my first post and many things have happened in between. Would try to mention those, but yeah, many thing have happened in the mean time which has changed my view about life from totally negative perhaps depressive to some what mixed bag. I believe this is what time does to people, hence time is considered to be ultimate healer. When things are not right, one may choose to whine but I learnt that its always best to leave things for time to take care, which one is not able to handle itself.
OK ! Let me put the best thing first, though I may sound like very selfish but hey who is not in this world ? Won't create too much of suspense, the new manager about which I talked in part I has resigned now. BOOM !! Yeah its selfish, but this is fact. He has resigned now and looking for another role in another company for better package. He is serving notice period and suppose to leave organization in mid of march.
How does it feel that the people who created more trouble for me are leaving ? Well, honest confession is mixed bag. A sudden spark of winning comes and fades away without me enjoying it fully, and several shades of spent time, happy moments are figuring out before eyes. Actually I am feeling sad for most of the time I think of this event. Me, and the new manager went for onsite last march and we have a good team of new technology functioning in our office. To put things in perspective, when decision was being taken to send two of us to UK for new platform training, the AD had many doubts on my interest on this initiative and perhaps on my skill as well. They made a big hoopla about the domain knowledge to corner me and his rant was about supremacy of the same. He may have thought that the new manager would be triumphant without much efforts and I would be lack-lustre struggling to learn the domain and hence trailing by miles only to fade away. But hey, I am not the easy nut to crack, I shrugged away the unnecessary pressure created by those rants and shown them the mettle I am made of. Yes, one year it about to get by, 10 people working on that platform with ease and myself being considered to be the best one on that platform to lead from India. Doesn't look game changer ? Yeah, it is. All critics silenced, well not possible to silence those at all, but now they murmur while earlier they were pretty vocal.
This new platform brought to me an opportunity which requires skills of coordinating with clients directly. This is my favourite game and I was being pushed by all into it with opposite intentions. Result is, I got at least three recommendation of positive feedback from clients and many such by the project managers with whom I interacted. It was a show of strength, where UK people supported to my surprise all positive feedbacks with whole heart and know what, I was awarded rating two for this efforts last year.While I was feeling happy and celebrating this new found success, trying to analyse what made the new manager quit ?
As I mentioned earlier that domain expertise was a big hoopla created to corner me and stabilize others, everyone seemed to be riding that wave and all decisions were made based on domain expertise. It raised hope on senior management on IND side that new manager would win the game hands down and there was scope for them to capture all eyes with Indian team affairs. After all, new platform is the future, and those who hold that, hold the key for future of teams. And who is winning the game, who has odds in favour of him, of course the domain expert rabbit, the new manager. This myth was broken in first week of training itself in UK when the tortoise stated taking lead, the tortoise who was not afraid of asking questions, who was steady learner, who was not afraid of going out of way and getting things clarified, who didn't wear shells of a typical manager. Yeah, the typical managerial outlook is the biggest hurdle towards learning. I had nothing to loose, so the deemed tortoise started making solid pace, while the esteemed rabbit started sulking. Sulking under tremendous expectation and reputation. The next best thing I had due to my experience was technology, C#. It helped the tortoise capture the core faster than imagined. Soon, I was placed in group of people who were supposed to answer questions and provide consultancy in matters where high end technological knowledge was required. Things took a turn around 180 degrees and hey, nothing succeeds like success. Those who were openly against me, started taking back seat, they started murmuring and I kept getting feedbacks from my project managers at the same time. This turn around perhaps started creating a doubt in head of new manager. The aura of domain expertise started diminishing. He tried hard to catch up, started learning C# as well, but things were moving at such a pace that perhaps it was difficult to pick up with regular queries coming out of local team and globally and there he is, standing naked, stripped out of domain expertise robe, the then supporters looking the other way. Not that, he was not working hard, he was doing all the tedious stuff in old platform and still putting up a great show but since senior management is genuinely backing the new platform, all his efforts were being regarded, but not with that degree of respect as earlier. Further, study quality has taken a dive in last one year, and he lost his face on that front as well. Hardly, we would get a good study on the floor and justifications were not easy to be given. That depleted that experienced managerial skills paint as well. Hence, if you are an honest critics of yourself, you would find yourself nowhere and start re-evaluating yourself and then one day, you decide to quit. Fair on his part as he was doing really good in whatever he was put into. I had some good moments with him working hence the sadness comes from there. Also, the team has grown to 40+ and to manage them alone would be a tough task hence feel his presence is required. Yeah, they would recruit another one, but again to start everything from scratch would be a pain for me hence sense of missing him has started inside hence happiness is being overshadowed by sorrow to be honest.
Did a long write up on the office events, some good things happened on personal front as well. I booked an apartment. Yeah, you wont imagine that negativity from first part would let me take a positive decision at all. But no, things changed, booked a 2 BHK apartment nearby my current place at cost of 40 Lakhs. It measures 1210 SFT and looks OK for a small family. Not too much lavish, but 160 apartments spread in 3 blocks, 6 floors mine being on second floor, west facing nearby to lift. Felt good about it as weekend gave me a purpose. Every Saturday or Sunday, I would go to see the progress even if nothing is happening on ground. The loan was approved by SBI, to surprised of many, but felt good about it. The hand over is somewhere in March end, but I think it would go beyond that and may be in April end. EMI of 35000 starts this month but ideas of closing off loan already taking rounds in the head. Taking apartment was not a easy decision at all. Vulnerability of job security, chances of moving into another place with next job were two things always pushing me against idea of taking apartment. But three major things pushed me into this one, first, my elder brother has taken one already in Pune, which gives a bit of confidence to get into risk. Second, the water problem in current place where I am staying is humongous. I am someone who loves to get under running water for bathing but hey, here water is not at all present. Every time you open the tap, you get a whistling sound but no water. That too, when I am ready to pay extra bucks for continuous water supply. Got lot of skin related issues due to bathing with stored water. Third, the kids are growing and not finding any friends company at home. As a result, they are becoming arrogant and too much demanding. Perhaps getting in a society of 150+ would fetch them pool of friends to play with while currently we are in 30 flats society with hardly any kids to play around. The new society comes with small playground so I am sure, kids would spend time playing rather than sitting on my laptop and mobile for long. So, one thing positive happened in my life last year on personal front. But hey, that's not it. As soon as story reaching towards a happy ending, a turn is there awaiting to create a jolt. A turbulence. Would write about it in next paragraph.
Alright, loan processed, good to go with hand over of apartment in March-April 2016, and here comes the twist in tale. About a month back, got a call from Bangalore. It was Bibin from Bioclinica, calling me and checking if he is looking for another opportunity ? I checked with work location, he mentioned Bangalore and Mysore, I mentioned that I have just booked an apartment and hence would be difficult to move at the moment. He replied back, Would not you take a chance for Director position for development team in INDIA ? I was taken aback. Really, a director position, who the hell in world would miss that one ? While I was thinking about it, Bibin pushed the game a little far by mentioning that flats could be rented out but this opportunity is not to be missed. That clicked my mind. To be honest, I was clicked by the idea that this is not the end for my career. I am considered valuable by people on earth and that sense of achievement gave me lot of courage and confidence. I said, yes let's go ahead. He quickly booked a telecon with RTSM Director, USA and got into call and cleared with ease in matter of two days. What's next ? The VP, RTSM development was about to visit INDIA in next two weeks and Bibin started looking for my time in Bangalore in those days. I was hesitating on committing to timelines as VP's plan was not clear and we had our senior management visiting HYD office in one of those weeks. To my luck, VP's plans were confirmed just in time and I got a date to meet him one week before our senior management visit. So, all put in place. I could play around with this opportunity without disturbing any schedule anywhere. Bibin asked if I am OK to book flight tickets and within 2 minutes I booked it and all set. Had to tell my AD that I am going to Bangalore for a day for friend's marriage and may be 2 days if it takes time to come back. Discussion with VP was OK in my opinion, in some cases, I charmed him while at some other question, I rudely countered him. Which I was regretting later. He mentioned his vision of making IND team grow from 15 to 30 at max in one year. I abruptly mentioned, that this is a very conservative estimate, I would think of growing to a number of 50. Whooops, I should have chosen the words carefully. He was impressed by my vision of establishing more technological team after current set up stable. He put me in to pigeon hole by asking a question that I am more into development throughout so how would I be able to keep a balance between development and validation team. I mentioned that yes, I was developer since start of my career and the current role demands of that. But I have a good oversight of validation affairs as well hence I would be able to manage that aspect also. Not sure, how VP would have taken my answers but in my view, it was mixed bag. BTW, I have not got any update from Bibin yet, as he keeps mentioning, Ken has not taken a decision yet, and I am loosing hope of getting this opportunity but this is not making me sad. This has given me lost of strength that my resume is being considered for senior management position, and I could live with this positive though for rest of my life. Very good feeling of accomplishment, having some worth, even if I don't get selected for this position.
While the journey toward Bangalore started early morning 4:30 AM. Got ready, got to airport bus pick point and reached airport in time. Everything went by schedule. While boarding the car out of Bangalore airport, got some paint in mid part of waist and left, pain was mild so ignored it and moved towards. It took a tiring long 2 hrs. to reach Bioclinica office. Bangalore traffic is a rogue thing to happen in life. While going to office crossed those streets where we used to visit while dad was being operated for cancer. All those places where I used to go for breakfast, to go for beer, to go for small items purchase, I revisited those and got a bit sad. All those memories started coming in back of head. After interview, the pain in waist started increasing. My return flight was at 10 PM and I was done by 1 PM hence had 9 hours to spend. Didn't know what to do ? Started taking rounds of streets nearby, pain increasing. Suddenly saw a beer bar with restaurant. First time, I said no to myself and moved ahead, but after half an hour reached the same place and got into for 2 beers and chicken biryani. The pain kept increasing. After finishing beer and food in 1.5 hrs, got a bus back to airport, slept half in the bus while pain increasing further. By the time, reached airport, pain was at its peak. Was not able to sit or stand properly. Kept switching legs and shoes open. Flight to my dismay was 2 hrs late for no reasons. Upon asking, they mentioned, high security alert on eve of Republic day hence kept waiting while pain reaching it top. Got to home by 2 AM by then pain had taken toll of me. Early morning, huge severing started taking place. No respite. Lot of fever and pain together and I was almost dead. Informed AD about bad health and it was a six day long out of office as result including weekends. I learnt that only way to keep this pain out was to do stretching and hope I am able to continue.
Life throws something at you when you least expect and hey, your career and personalities are built on those throwing. Another event such perhaps would have changed my life (we would come to know only in future, but I could sense it already, may be wrong). Here is what happened till now: There was one work item during Christmas last year, which was supposed to be given cover by my AD as original programmer was out for long vacation. We managed the cover but the work could not meet its timelines related expectations and hence was escalated by out clients. AD was supposed to attend that meeting, I not being anywhere in the picture. All of a sudden, AD had to move to his village (I have a strong feeling that he avoided it deliberately sighting travel reasons) and put me in loop to attend the meeting. The local senior management asked for a drill meeting for preparation for the grand meeting which was being chaired by the supreme boss, we all report into him eventually, he is a new comer hence all very defensive, eager to make an impression of under control. During prep talks, I presented my excel report which laid ground that issue was at client end while responding queries during Christmas period. Guess what, it was rejected as usual by senior management just to corner me, and here comes the meeting, The supreme boss asks all, what went wrong, all being poker face, saying everything was under control and my poor AD was being made scape goat. Hey, when you deal in bullshit, no one would come for your rescue leaving their bullshit to cover your bullshit. All being happy that all was great at their respective ends. And here is your tortoise jumping in the discussion and talking about the excel data. All of a sudden, supreme boss pays attention to this excel sheet and starts talking about it, as this is something would save his ass in front of client services meeting. I explained that in details, supreme boss orders one of the senior directors to get inputs in further details and there you go, that supreme boss knows me by face all of a sudden.
The supreme boss arrived in IND and from day one, he is saying, he knows me already. Funny thing, the tortoise which was kept cornered all along is being recognized by supreme boss at every meeting, every stand up, every pep up talks. What do you do ? This tortoise shell is made of something different. The tortoise takes its chances and hush hushes its critics like no one does. Amazing that validation director was giving me regular shoulder massages during management dinner. And then plans of creating RFC and CCO supporting teams in HYD came out of no where and here I am in picture again. What a fun that is life becomes in just one year. But hey, honestly, it doesn't bring a laughter on my face. I know what is there in future for me. I am getting continuously perturbed by a thought. What if I succeed, for one or the other silly reasons (like domain expertise), this platform would be taken away from me again, and If I loose, sword is always over my head hanging). This thought keeps me away from smiling profusely but for near future, it sounds cool. Hope it stays that way.
Just now the AD had discussions (although his pet is not in office, no offence as he updated that he was was away in notice period due to his mother's ceremony, hey, I am selfish but not cruel) and was keen on informing me on organizational changes. Whoops again, not sure what is coming my way ? It is wrapped in a promotion is the only thing I am looking at the moment ! If not, it doesn't interest me but keeps me vigil that my reporting would go back to UK which is a good thing but let's see what is in store for me by life ? As you would have seen by now, things changed dramatically from part I to part II, who knows what is there in part III ? Although I intend to write more regularly but who knows ?
OK ! Let me put the best thing first, though I may sound like very selfish but hey who is not in this world ? Won't create too much of suspense, the new manager about which I talked in part I has resigned now. BOOM !! Yeah its selfish, but this is fact. He has resigned now and looking for another role in another company for better package. He is serving notice period and suppose to leave organization in mid of march.
