IT?

One good thing about being in IT is that you get a chance to put your hands on the new technologies before it’s been implemented for the rest of users. One such case is with Microsoft Office 2007. The plan to upgrade is still under process but we at the IT are already exploring its new features. This in a way prepares us to later support our users in more efficient way(hopefully :)). As they say “nothing is done with out a reason”.

Video Conferencing?

It was just another normal day at work when my team leader called me and asked whether I would be interested in supporting the newly installed video conferencing facility at the campus? As I heard that, word's of Mr. Rajan from Frozen Thoughts echoed my mind - "When was the last time you did something for the first time?" Instantly, with no hesitation I replied, yes, I will do that!

It's been a month and a half now supporting the system and everyday brings in a new experience, experience of joy, experience of satisfaction and most importantly experience of doing something for the first time.
