Met my old friend Akshay

Hi All,
    I met my old friend Akshay at Tiruppur. He came from Chennai to Tiruppur to attend one of his relatives 60th marriage anniversary. He sent a message in Whatsapp about his arrival.
    He said he'll be in Tiruppur till night 10. The venue was about 21 KMs from my office. So, I took permission and went there. I met him at the marriage hall. He introduced me to his relatives there and I spent around 2 hours there, had lunch along with him. Around 2:30 PM I returned back to office.
    It felt nice to meet him after 4 years. Chill, Syed Yusuf

Working From Palladam Office

Hi All,
    I have started working from Palladam Office. We've rented a house at Sulur, Kalangal Road. Both my kids joined Aadharsh Matriculation School. Their school bus picks them up at 7:50 AM and drops them at 4 PM.

    Initially it was tough to convince my family members to relocate to Sulur. After 4 months, they seem to comfortable with the locality.

    I'll come up with more detials in coming days.

Cheers!
Syed Yusuf

Working from spoke office

 I have started working from a spoke office near to my hometown. This office is located in outskirts of Thirupattur town and was inaugurated on 14th April. I had to travel 28 kms to reach office by car.

இதுவும் கடந்து போகும்

வலி, வேதனை, துக்கம், பிரிவு, இழப்பு, விதியின் விளையாட்டு. இப்படி விடை இல்லா துயரங்களுக்கு முடிவு தான் என்ன? இதுவும் கடந்து போகும். ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள மனம் மறுத்த போதும், இதுவே நிதர்சனம்.

8 years and counting!

    Its been 8 years now since I joined this company. Days are rolling too fast. It is after joining this company I bought my first Bike and Car. Those days we're in Velachery Office. Later on we moved to DLF IT park. Later I got married and Now father to two adorable kids. This company has given me all. Hope to add many more years to it.

5,200 steps per Day!

    Today I calculated number of steps I am walking Daily to reach office. It is 2,600 steps from our room to office.
    By that calculation, I am walking 5,200 steps per work day between office and room. That is 26,000 steps per week(5 days) and 1,04,000 steps per month(20 days).

    Today I got up around 5:30 and started my fitness routine around 5:50 and finished around 6:30. I did jump ropes for about 20 minutes with intermittent jogging. And then the regular push-ups and biceps training. Overall 40 minutes of physical activity. I am feeling good.

11-May-2017

    Its been third day since I started my morning walk routine. I must say I am feeling refreshed and lot better. I know it is too early to conclude. Long way to go! But I promise to keep going.

    "One prominent benefit of early morning walk is that it can help reduce high blood pressure and high cholesterol, both of which contribute to heart disease."

    I got up at 5:40 AM and was ready for a walk by 6. I started from room and walked to Nellikuppam road government school. After reaching school ground I saw many enthusiastic walkers doing the drills.

    Soon I joined them, walked 7 rounds and started walking back to room. Reached room around 7, took bath and got ready to office around 7:40. 

    I started walking from room and reached office at 8:10. Finished breakfast in first floor dining hall and reached my cubicle at 8:30 and started today's work. I am feeling good.

7 Years and counting!

    It has been 7 years, but it feels like just yesterday I joined this company. Thank you all for this wonderful experience. Thank you God.

Using WhatsApp to connect with friends.

    First of all sorry for not keeping my word that I will write regularly. Hope I will write often here on. My company offered me free smart phone back in July-2012, but I was using this phone just to make calls and send SMS's, even though my company offered free wi-fi with office premises I didn't install any social networking app.

    Recently my friends wanted me to use WhatsApp to chat with them. I was reluctant initially, but as I started using it, I liked it very much. I can initiate a chat with my close buddies(geographically separated) anytime I want and they replied based on their convenience. The experience has been positive so far.
