From CO to CEO
I reached AAI office well before time today. I even missed my walk (which is very important for me, not for the physical exercise but for the connection with the trees). The person at the reception was rude and uncouth and I did lose my cool for a while. The word ‘reception’ comes from the … Continue reading
‘To not do anything’
The meeting with the AAI guys has been re-scheduled for tommorrow morning. There was a shifting of programs and it was difficult for me to reach their office at the given time. The list of queries (which is endless) is ready with me ( at least what is not clear, is clear to me). Dimpy … Continue reading
A day of ‘meetings’
And yesterday was a hectic day. Two meetings scheduled in different parts of the city. With the roads and the traffic jam (and the constant honking), it was a nightmare. The first meeting was with a client dealing with infrastructure and the second was with the real estate guys. There is history associated with the … Continue reading

Our sample data for the North east cities is being circulated and hopefully something will work out. A few enquiries for training have been trickling in. So … Continue reading

I am glad he said it, even though it … Continue reading
Living life on lifes’ terms
Finally finished the price matrix and sent it to the client. Great acheivement. For today. At least something got done. for a change. Imtiaz came to the office and we discussed the design aspects for a few maps. Narendra is back and the editing of a few maps will begin tommorrow. Tommorrow is always another … Continue reading
‘spectacularly unspectacular’
Most of the work in the realm of GIS is given to empanelled companies. And the empanelment is given to companies with a multicrore turnover and a large employee database (in multiples of thousands). So where is the opportunity for an SSI unit? Most of the times we are not able to participate in the … Continue reading
