This theory will win the Physics Nobel Prize!


Equation 1

Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy
Donkey = eat + sleep

Therefore,
Human = Donkey + work + enjoy

Therefore,
Human – enjoy = Donkey + work

In other words,
Human that don’t know how to enjoy = Donkey that work

Look if there is any Problem! Before Working on Solution…


One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops – a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.

At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, “Big John doesn’t pay!” and sat down at the back..

Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically week? Well, he was. Naturally, he didn’t argue with Big John, but he wasn’t happy about it. The next day the same thing happened – Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the next.

This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff.

By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong; what’s more, he felt really good about himself. So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said, “Big John doesn’t pay!”

The driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed, “And why not?”

With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, “Big John has a bus pass.”

Management Lesson: “Be sure there is a problem in the first place before working hard to solve one.”

Women are better financial planners!!!


Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business.

When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with which to share his fortune.

One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Her natural beauty took his breath away. “I may look like just an ordinary man,” he said to her, but in just a few years, my father will die, and I’ll inherit $200 million.”

Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother.

Women are so much better at financial planning than men.

Name Cogzidel is one year old…


Today morning when I opened my mailbox came across this email from bala. Really can’t believe how time runs and last year same time all I had was the support from people like Major, Bala, Boopathi, Senthil & Bala Krishnan. That was the biggest capital I had and have. Last one year has been really cherishing and enjoyable.

Dear Cogzians,

This day (6th August) of last year, was a memorable day in the history of Cogzidel. That’s when the name “Cogzidel” was discovered.

After having a stomach-full of tasty meal served by Major’s mom at his home, the team of people consisting of me, Anand, Major, Balasubramanian and Boopathi, started looking for a suitable name for our company.

Happened to scan through many names and finally, selected “Cogidel”.

Anand suggested to insert “Z” in the middle as it would create an attraction – and that’s the name we got as “Cogzidel”.

Meaning: Cog zi del

Cog – someone who does important and routine function
Del – indicating prompt delivery

And today, a year is over since then and we realise how time runs so fast.

We are happy about what we are today and I’m sure next year same day, we will be in far more better shape and heights.

Work with great spirit and make it happen !!

Regards,
Bala
CFO,

No help from ICICI Banks Nodal Officers too


forbesindia-cover_29th-julyI got this reply from Office Of Head Service Quality on Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 12:27 PM for the complaint sent to Nodal officer on Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 2:37 AM. Though they promptly skipped the damages point they promised to get back on or before August 3, 2009 and till date now one has contacted me. This month of Fobes India’s cover page says How CHANDHA KOCHHAR is remaking ICICI and I think she really has to do a lot of things.

Nodal office is the final hope for any customer and if that is inefficient only God must save this bank which boasts a lot about it. Now I’m left with no option other than to take them legally or escalate to Ms.Kochhar itself.

Dear Mr. Nataraj,

We acknowledge receipt of your e-mail of July 28, 2009 addressed to Nodal Officer regarding  your ICICI Bank Credit Card account number 4477 xxxx xxxx 4003.

The same has been registered vide Service Request SR113863258.

We understand that you have the following issue :

a. Reversal of the amount of Rs 7366.05 which is debited from your saving account. 

b.  Necessary correction in the Credit Information Bureau India Limited (CIBIL) status.

We are looking into the issue and will revert to you on or before by August 3, 2009.

Sincerely,

Sri.Venkateshwara
Office Of Head Service Quality

I’m back again…


I was forced out of blogging for almost 5 days & Courtesy to the mess created by our web server. I was not even given an opportunity to say the famous Terminator punch line I’ll be Back. Initially I was upset with the web server and after investigation we came to know a part of mistake is because of us. Most of Cogzidel’s website were down and were restored quickly and anandnataraj.com was the last to get fixed. Anyway I’m happy it is up and running and thanks to Kannan & Bala Krishnan for their efforts to bring it back.

So it has been like living in a hell without expressing my thoughts and after making blogging as habit you can imagine how it frustrates. There were lots to blog like; 

  • How ICICI and agony continues….
  • Visit to Balaji’s village in Mahabalipuram.
  • My new one sided love story.
  • Review of LUCK.

Now let me take some rest and start posting them one by one from tomorrow.

PIN compulsory for Online Payments


Reserve Bank of INDIA (RBI) has made PIN mandatory for online credit card or debit card payments. 

  • PIN is in addition to other information we provide like Card No., Name, Expiry Date & CVV no.
  • Since it is a notice issued by RBI it is applicable to cards issued in India only. If your card is issued from any other country it will have a normal authorization process.

So this comes into effect from August 1st, 2009.

Another fulfilling day…


Today has been a contending day for many reasons. The day started by preparing a quote for providing Computer education for Andra Pradesh corporation schools. Then there were some official work where in I had to review some contracts, preparing list of things that my new CTO has to take care off and then putting my CTO as the single point contact for all technical help.

Then was engaged with some telephonic conversation with my CFO & Friends. Then I wanted to start my fish breeding which I use to do in my school days and then I located some spots in my house which would be best suited.

Then I got a call from my friend cum customer who said it was diccicult to come and sigh his IT returns and so I had to do the courier work. Thought Bala was hesitant to make me do those works I really enjoyed doing it as I’m not involved in CCS activities and I really enjoy working for CCS as it is a new arena to me. I drove to CCS office to hand over couple of signed IT Saral forms of friend and collected my friend’s Saral form to be signed and returned home as Balaji planned for a drive.

I came back home by 8 o clock and then had to wait for Balaji till 10 o clock to return from a birthday party. Then we handed over the Saral form to the friend and asked him to hand it over to bala tomorrow. Then we thought we can go for a long drive to Mahabalipuran through OMR which we have not explored much.

I was really surprised to see small tea shops and hotels which were kept open till 12 o clock mid night. We reached Perungudi toll by 11.20 PM and had to pay 30 bucks for a two way toll. Then we came across Baskin Robbins ice cream parlor and Pizza Corner. Balaji wanted an Iced Tea which was not available. Then we went to Baskin Robins and ordered for a Mango Tango & Mint Tango (Ice Cream blended with Sprite) and we enjoyed the drink.

DSC01324DSC01325Again started to travel towards mahabs and had to cross another toll where we were charged 30 bucks for a two way toll. I handed over a 50 rupee note and we got two 10 rupee coins as balance. That really excited me because I’ve seen that from one of my friend who had only one and he refused to give it to me. So, today I’m a proud owner of a 10 rupee coin which is rare at the moment. Then Balaji took on coin and retained one coin.

Again we thought this route to be expensive compared to ECR as we pay 45 bucks for two ways to mahabs. Then once when we crossed 200 meters the road was very bad as expected and we had a small change in direction. Instead of Thiruporur we went to ECR from Kelambakkam.

lightningEn route to ECR from Kelambakkam we had this back waters and good lightning. It was a special gift to my eyes. I’ve never enjoyed nature like this before. I was disappointed for not carrying a camera. Then after 10 min of enjoying the lightning we again proceeded to mahabs.

After reaching mahabs Balaji was telling me how nice a place it was two decades back as it is the home town of his mother and that was the place where he spends his vacation.  Again I’ve never been to mahabs at mid night and watching those carvings at night was a different experience.

It took 2 hours to drive to mahabs and while returning we had good topics to discuss and returned home within an hour. Over all I’m closing the day with a happy note… Thank you Balaji for giving such an experience… Letz explore more in coming weeks.
