CCS folks use unusual methods to crack solutions for problems


One of the touch / challenging thing in Business in facing uncertainities. But that becomes cherishing opportunity for aggressive people.

An entrepreneur would love to work with such aggressive people. Today i’m proud to be associate with such people.

I want to quote a particular challenging case where we signed a contract with a client for managing their monthly Accounting.

We signed the deal assuming, that client will be using Tally as their accounting tool. To our surprise client was using QuickBook. My peers didn’t have any clue about this new tool.

Instantly my CFO Mr.Bala Murugan and his associate Ms.Vimala had a meet to work out a solution and their unusual way of thinking startled me.

They used Youtube to see if there is any tutorial and it clicked. With the help of this video tutorial we finished the task with ease.

Above case points how they applied their mind and how they extracted the power of social mediums which is available for free.

I always admire such people. And my peers made me proud to say that I’m a part of their team.

Rivers that crosses rough and steep rock will generate electricity.

This is what i learned from my peers.

Google Maps Business Directory Listing Helps CCS


I was exploring thought Google Maps a couple of days back where I was plotting Cogzidel Consultancy Services office address with Google Maps. There I came across this link Add Business Listing and I added Cogzidel immediately. 

In recent times I got a series of leads from Google. Then I got puzzled as we have a low page rank and i was not getting many results for many core keywords. 

Then one day I happened to search “Accounting Services” where in I came across this result in Google search.

accounting-services 

I was hacking with Google Maps long time back and it showed results (You can see Cogzidel Consultancy Services under maps results). Immediately I optimized for many keywords and it immediately showed in result.

Now I can see another option to get to the top page other than SEO & Adwords route. I recommend everyone to mark your business with Google Maps.

Today I marked my company with Yahoo Local Listing too.

What happened to my hobbies?


Last year I developed hobbies like; 

  • Photography
  • Blogging
  • Tweeting
  • Travelling
  • Physical workout. 

That is because I was back from a big depression and I had lot of time and I wanted to divert my mind from all bad experiences. It was these hobbies which helped me to overcome strongly. 

For last 3 months my concentration on all these hobbies are slowly coming down. I don’t know if I must take it positively as; 

  • I’m getting busy because of business commitments.
  • I’m back from memories of all bad experience. 

Or should I blame myself for cutting down on my hobbies which have helped me in bad times. 

Though there is every genuine reason like; 

  • System problem to download pictures shot from camera has diminished my interest in photography. In fact I stopped taking camera now-a-days.
  • Blogging has taken a beating because I’m taking care of Sales for CCS where I travel to client places. So, I’m not sitting online like before.
  • Same applies to twitter.
  • I stopped travelling because of the long summer this year and still I didn’t get back to loop.
  • Again this is because of my laziness because of travelling. 

But personally speaking I want to balance things and want to accommodate all the special things which were my companion during my lonely times. So from now I plan to be more professional and get back to loop.

Office Humor


After 2 years of selfless service, a man realized that he has not been promoted, no transfer, no salary increment, no commendation. So he decided to walk up to his HR Manager. His manager looked at him, smiled and asked him to sit down saying:

 “My friend you have not worked here for even a single day.” The man was surprised to hear this, but the manager went on to explain.. 

Manager: How many days are there in a year? 

Man: 365 days and sometimes 366. 

Manager: How many hours make up a day? 

Man: 24 Hours. 

Manager: How long do u work in a day? 

Man: 10am to 6pm i.e 8 hours a day. 

Manager: So, what fraction of the day do u work in hours? 

Man: He did some arithmetic and said 8/24 i.e 1/3 (one third).

Manager: This is nice of u! what is 1/3rd of 366 days? 

Man: 122(1/3 x 366=122 in days) 

Manager: Do u come to work on weekends? 

Man: No sir. 

Manager: How many days r there in a year that r weekends? 

Man: 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays equals to 104 days. 

Manager: Thanks for that. If u remove 104 days from 122 days. How many days do u now have? 

Man: 18 days. 

Manager: I do give u 2 weeks sick leave every year. Now remove that 14 days from the 18 days left.. How many days do u have remaining? 

Man: 4 days.
