Run Sports

When someone in the team came up with an idea of conducting sports events, i was slightly reluctant but just gave my name for the events (carrom, chess, tt, snooker)

The task of organising the event was handed to a fresher girl and an experienced guy in automation team. They tried to mail the team everyday with the list of participants and dates of events, but eventually everyone forgot them after closing the mail box. This really turned to be a pain for them, they even failed to start the first game since participants are busy or not present.

Well, i thought the only way to solve this is to have a website where they can see the dates of their matches and comments on results. I also had a plan to put all participants pics in the site so they get some attention and responsibility.

I designed a brand new sports site for my team events, also a pretty decent one and launched it as a surprise. It really worked. Everyone got excited and attracted to the event.

I too liked the site and came up with more features like Scrolling team pics (flash), Blog roll, Image gallery(Ajax control) etc. to add more spice to the event.



Well, after a long time, i did something with passion and creativity

One day with One rupee

It was a day that i got up as usual late, relaxed, got ready, packed food and rushed to station to catch my 10'o clock train. My stomach grunned and reminded me that I had just one banana before leaving from home. Well, why not a have a tea meantime before the train reaches in a couple of mins.

But the surprisingly danger fact is, I had just 1rupee in my pocket. Just 1 Rupee to start the day, not even a tea costs that in Urban india (its 2.50 bucks minimum). The mmts train pass saved the day for me to reach office and i totally forgot about this dangerous fact. For lunch, i ate the food that i prepared and took in the box. In the evening, I went for a tea break with my friend (obviously he paid for me), that kept my 1 buck still in my purse :)


The thought that i should withdraw from ATM striked now and then but i never cared about it much as i was in a safer office zone. After a bit long client meeting in the evening i rushed to the train station where i was aware again that i have just 1 rupee in my pocket, this time it was a clear mistake.

Well, there is nothing else i could do except to spend it :) and get a few fried groundnuts for that 1 rupee from the poor farmer who sells it everyday at the station platform. The groundnuts tasted good in my train journey back home.

Atlast i felt good for spending the 1 Rupee worth it... and oops... now i got 0 bucks with me :)
