MMTS Service - Bit Better !!!



It gives me the pleasure of a get away without actually even getting out of the city.  Indeed, what you see is what you get, and what you get is something else ;). Yesterday i have traveled in MMTS (Multi Modal Transport System) with one my colleague as she has been suggesting me since day one to travel in. because we would be having comfort and peaceful traveling. The route was  Lingampally-Falaknuma.  We have boarded at Hi tech City Station which is near to our office and thought to get down at Secunderabad from there i can catch bus to vanasthali puram hardly 45 minutes drive away. 

The Train started exactly at 17:30 (seems i am lucky yesterday) and reached secunderabad at 17:55 routed via Borabanda , Bharath Nagar, Fateh Nagar, Nature Cure Hospital, Begumpet , Sanjeevaiah Park and James Street. After James Street due to platform/signaling it was stopped for 3-5 mins at Ranigunz bridge.  But All the way it saved plenty of time and polluted atmosphere.

However, Service can  improved to be  better and best. facilities at Hi-tech City Station was worst and think same with other stations as well. for buying ticket itself took me more than 10 minutes as there was a single counter for men/ladies. to cross from one platform to another platform there is only one Foot over bridge is available that is also too far. if we have another two, it would very convince to passengers when they arrive/departure from the station.  I heard  the number of trains during peak hours were less. Apart from that Frequency between trains is too max, it should be less.  As we do not have dedicated lines for MMTS using the same path which intercity / national trains might be causing the problem. 

From Hitech City to APIIC (IT parks) And vice verse we have free two shuttle services(Tempo Buses) for every one hour during morning and evening times. Eventually  getting into the that tempo bus is very difficult.  Need to rush from the platform and run towards this bus by that time it fills. Need to wait for one more hour or go for Auto which again hits our packet for 40-50 bucks.

But when compare to travel in Bus, it is good to prefer train.  problem here for me is i need to get down at malakpet/secunderabad which again 45 mins - one hour journey to my home ;(

Looking for a Change? - its Good time to Move !


Are you not getting paid enough by what you expect in your company? Is your Boss is not supportive? you are a work-a-holic nature but your manager is not recognizing your efforts? Are you looking for a change in your Job?  Unhappiness in a workplace?Are you looking for financial growth in your career? Looking for a work location change? Then I Suggest  its good time to Move.
"People leave managers not companies" as its written and proved when you are hard working nature you can work in any company. No need to stick to your boss and loose your confidence, skills ..etc because Job satisfaction is what at the end of the day desired by an individual.

People leave the companies depending on aspiration, needs , some go for money, while others for better responsibilities, some for challenges, opportunities for growth. Since two months i have noticed there is lot of attrition rate and  recruitment  rate is growing much. Neither loss for the company nor loss for an employee. if any employee has strategical thinking about his career and financial growth company applies more strategics. There is huge walk-in and schedule drives going for experts and as well as entry levels in MN C's and  small organizations.
Are You looking for a change? Go ahead.. No need to step back. Wish you all the Best...!

A Journey of a Thousand miles begins with a single step...

A Boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open.

He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its colour and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.

QUESTIONS:

1. What were the five words?
2. What is the implication of this story?



ANSWER :

The husband just said, "I am with you Darling."

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.

No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiven, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

Change the way we see !

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. A wonderful time was had by all.
The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal: “I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage.” she offered.” Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”

The husband agreed, so each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.

The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.

“I’ll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husbands eyes.” What’s wrong?” she asked. “Nothing” the husband replied, “keep reading your lists.”

The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over top of it.

“Now, you read your list and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists.” She said happily.

Quietly the husband stated, “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don’t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn’t want to try and change anything about you.”

The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.

In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise.

Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us?

I believe that WE ARE HAPPIEST WHEN we see and praise the good and try our best to forget the bad. Nobody’s perfect but we can find perfectness in them to change the way we see them.

Travelled on India's Longest Fly Over !


Yes..! Yesterday Night while coming from office after Masab Tank drop, I routed the cab to Newly constructed longest flyover in India called P.V Narasimharao Express Highway. Driver and Me both excited as both are not traveled on this flyover. Always first experience would be exciting and curious. I have noted down the time as we exactly started 08:35 pm at beginning Terminal and reached at end  terminal of fly over by 08:44 pm. its  almost 12 kilometers distance we traveled  in 9 minutes.. what a Experience ! Saved 45 minutes time. No Two wheelers, No Autos.. Only four wheelers.. that to i have seen only Cabs in that time.

People who go to AIRPORT, they love this route like any thing. Basically it was constructed for the same reason. It connects the Mehdipatnam area in the city to the Hyderabad-Bangalore National Highway (NH 7) and route to the international airport. I have also noticed middle of fly-over at two points they were also attaching bridges to fly-overs parallel and merges into it which makes more usage to the travelers from those two area's. If that phase also finishes then it would be more and more useful.

Terrific Traffic - Totally Tired up with Traveling !

Just It took two days to decide me Felt like hell with this traffic, Traveling From Vanasthali Puram to Hi-tech City is even worst than traveling from one state to another state. As i have habituated with 10 minutes drive to office in Bangalore, Here spending almost two hours to reach office and two and half hours to come back home is screwing my happiness and i am not a in a position to think anything. Its testing my patience. None of the routes are working out for me. whether i take drive or go by local train or by APSRTC Bus or even by the Company Bus.. result is same .. by end of the day feel like ..Is this Life which i am looking for?  Ohh.. God how many days i need to go office.. eagerly waiting for weekend to take rest.

Of course, I am getting a time to talk my self in any of these four and half hours at some point of time like where am I? why I am here. But at times i am not even having hope to think about myself as tiredness is with me always.Two years before Traffic was bit better in Hyderabad, Now God also cannot save the Hyderabad to get rid of traffic. 

what to do? life is restless? when i go bed its almost mid night.. when i wake up it should be before 6* (* Mandatory) otherwise late to office..late in catching bus.. late to everything. "late bed early wake up" - this quotation i need to stick to the wall in my bed room. I am planning some alternative solution to get rid out  of from this tiredness and terrific traffic
I was very happy when i  was in Bangalore that i am going to Hyderabad soon, simply i can settle at Hyderabad.. Bindaaz.. But here situation is different. Either i need to change my house or change the company.. Not at all possible for few months.. Even if i change the company also will not resolve the problem for traffic and journey. Thinking to stay at madhapur for few months. What you suggest ?

Lets see how it goes.. ;)
