Busy few weeks

Well, it has been quite a busy time past few weeks. But well worth it as there have been good things happenning around along with some bad things as well.
Going back a couple of weeks, there was a carrom tournament organized in our company, and it being one of my favourite games, I participated in all categories and came out in flying colours. Runner up in Mens singles and Mixed doubles and third place in Mens doubles.
I really had to win these and prove myself in the sports area, as generally everybody had a impressions about me as one with technical and work minded person. Another compelling reason for me to push myself to win in this tournament was to introduce myself to others here in the company. Now you may wonder what non-sense is it. Well, actually I was away in another city of project work past 7 months, and a lot had changed here and when I came back very few people knew me here.
Another major thing going around currently is the "appraisal" feedback cycle. And as one would expect, lot of last minute politics or games going around. People trying to impress their managers by doing all sort of thing. And one such thing is submitting "Assets"(resuable code/tools). My previous project team mates started submitted assets of what not! and by virtue of me having had my hand in every code piece in that project, most of the assets also got registered under my name also :-).
Well, if that was not enough, I got another opportunity to prove myself. One of our colleague got into a single handed project and was struggling a lot and it reached a stage where senior managers had to intervene, and finally I was sent to resolve the issues. 3 days and everything back on track :-) and appreciations from everywhere. But recollecting those 3 days, first day didnt go back home at all - worked 24 hours!. Next 2 days went back home after 12. all these days lunch at 4 and dinner at 11 or no dinner! But all well worth it!
And of course, IPL2 going around, there is lot to watch out. My favourite teams - Chennai super kings and Kings XI Punjab, still not on roll, though having very balanced side.
Lot of other small small things going around, all in my favour and so it has been a great time past few weeks, but on the downside, I couldnt write my next article. I have a bit of draft written, but not enough time to finish it off...
Catch you all later....
Have a good time.
