Paypal is planning own Development Center in India

Thos who have seen my profile on Orkut, must be knowing that it is a dream for me to work with Paypal. Surprisingly, I was never bothered to work for that project due to "w/o leaving Mumbai" thing. FYI, Covanys is the only compnay where PayPal have outsourced and it is real big. Due to blah blah concern, PayPal project people (around 500) have a seperate building. Covansys have many big projects but no client has so specific requirement. Though eBay India is housed at Mumbai (ebay.in account required), PayPal has no presence anywhere in India. But they plan to take away all people from Covansys to setup IDC very soon.

Here come the MicroStrategy twist. There are several clients that have "direct" control over the development/feature development of MicroStrategy. PayPal is one of them. If PayPal wants then they can alter MicroStrategy. Well, don't be surprised. These compnaies (Permium clients ap er MicroStrategy iternal lingo) are the testing bed for all things created and the feedback and feature request. What suits this bigs, must suit even small compaines. That's how it work.

Life is zingalala

I had seen TATA Sky DTH service at Ashwin's place. I was very impressed by the quality of reception and features provided. SO even I booked a connection. I knew that was like buying enmity with local cable operator.

The installation guys came at the time as planned. They had all the equipment to fit the dish, but the helper seemed to be a new guy so the main guy was a bit pissed. Specially, when an important screw was missing. Still, I must say everything went smooth and within 2 hours it was done. I must say, it was really damn nice seeing the TV after the connection was setup. It was amazing. Life is really a zingalala now. TATA is not better as far as pricing, schemes and features is concerned but it beats in picture quality and customer satisfaction. My main reason to buy TATA and I feel I was not wrong. Hope everything goes well.

Oye Pappe....Isko lagaya to life ekdum zingalala...

I hate MicroStrategy, Inc.

Well... I had rightfully access to machines of MicroStrategy while working at Cybage. Not to forget that I had previlege fo lot of things. I downloaded the GA build and tried to use Internal Serial Key, but it didn't work. What does it mean? It means the GA builds are made not to accept the internal keys. If you have internal key, you can install everything... Generally the serial key itself decided what you can install but with internal keys you get all. You need to get the server activated for sure. I rememeber once Manisha gave the GA build to her friend. I was shocked and she acted as a routine. It is highly illegal. Specifically, when the copies of software available to Cybage are unrestricted. As far as I know, I'm still work with Cybage. I really regret not having got through the interview with IBM as I could have met Fransis Chao-Gay and probably Gurvinder Singh Chhatwal. BTW, Mr Chhatwal is the man behind the misadventure of Elston Pimemta. For all those who don't know, I was asked to leave for being authority over my PL (Parmajeet Singh Sidhu) during my notice period. WTF, SP3 was going to be released just 2 weeks ahead. He tried to play mind game during that 5 minute talk. Bastard, held my release letter for quite some time. I received it only after I wrote to CEO and new DH/PM of MicroStrategy project. I must say I was lucky. I wouldn't forget the way I was harassed for release letter. This is this the way they behave with the undisputed Tester. Who made #2 feel #1. I would not miss to harm Cybage by all means till the end of last breath.
