Photography by blind people

Hi... This is an intresting one which I found in the BBC News web which tell about ..

Audio slideshow: Photography by blind people

How can you use a camera if you can't see? Over 30 blind and visually impaired adults from the UK, Mexico and China have been trained in sensory photography techniques to create and experience photos.

As an exhibition of some of their work opens in east London, Matt Daw, from the UK charity PhotoVoice, explains how people like Gary, Alistair and Marcus were taught how to use a camera.

Life at Juniper


Ethinic Day at Office
Hmm... though it is a very short period I learnt how it will be in a product based company, its working environment culture and people. On saying about people here, I should say they are always available to help most of the time or else they atleast point to someone who can help...
I came across new devices and got chance to work on it, configure it and execute the scripts on it. Also I had the chance to learn about 'Perl' scripting..
I wont say I learned everything, but I could say that I will be able to debug the script.
Here the process the way is also different from what I had been doing in the past, also intresting too.. I see that managers also do technical stuffs along with their management stuff which is not an easy job, admired that one..

Days are nearing and time is running away .. have left only 2 more days to be here. Still cant believe that I am leaving a big concern.
Hopefully will comeback someday..

Life at HCL-CODC


Though I moved out of it.. it was the period of 4years 6 months which made me to think that there is a lot outside going on..
but though I have to say that I realised that in the last 2 years only ..
I still remember the day of the interview which was a Drastic day for me also an exciting one...the day I reached chennai in bus just 40 mins before the test.. and reached the office just like that, also I remember that I didnt had a pen to write the test, which I borrowed from the receptionist. After the exam it was like I had to catch the next bus to return surprised me that I have to stay for the interview ... and the exciting moment came at the point when they asked me to stay for the final HR round...which kinda confirmed me that I have to start my new HCL life...

It is odd.. though that I am sitting at Juniper and thinking about HCL ha ha...

just remembering the day my Cisco Manager informed that I have to be there in SanJose CA for atleast 3 months for a support, which later on extended to 10 more months..

Those days were really an exciting one which I can say more of a learning period in many ways, the culture, the technologies and the people.
The people there are more fascinating they are everyready to help in something and the environment is like that you dont feel going home early, I started liking the place, the only thing I miss is my friends back there..

There is a moment which I remember to keep myself awake that I can do more than what I am doing is the time when my manager asked me if I am intrested to become permanent at CISCO SJ. I also can say that is the time which made me to think, ok I have to start something more on my career which in resulted in Juniper.


Life Running Fast or Me


Its been like just been in HCL going to complete my 5 Years there, but moved to Juniper now.. going to CISCO...didnt expect this big change...Hope it does get settled there for sometime.. at least for few years from now...
