Memorable visit to Infosys , Mysore...
Hi Guys..I hav been posted in the Transportation Managent Team - Devolopment Team, the core R&D team of manhattan Associates.. I was pretty confident during training tat i wud be in Testing but unfortunately (and fortunately too) i was misplaced in devolopment tat too in the core R&D team of MANH . Fortunate, bcoz the devolopment training is good and our team head is very cool and our team members too.. Lot of works every week and finnaly we were able to find time last saturday to go to Mysore and c our guys at infy.Everytime i think of mysore , the first thing strikes my mind is the Palace and the brindhavan garden , but from that saturday trip , palce and garden became less impressive compared to the infosys training cum development centre at mysore.. Its said that the Mysore campus is The Dream Project of Mr.NR Murthy and no one other than Mr.Murthy wud hav such a vision and will be able to bring it true..Hats Off Mr.NR Murthy.
The training centre is not merely a training center, its a really a small town covering 350 acres ( if arthi is rite) containing all the facilities we need. Superb hostels, world class classrooms which can accomodate over 100 ppl (its comfortable for sleeping too), bowling, swimming pool,big Multiplex, shopping mall,ATMs,facilities for playing cricket,football,shuttle ,snooker etc.. Moreover there are about 3000 cycles which cud be picked up at any place and left at any place within the campus. But the point is the resources are not fully utilized by the employees .To be precise they dont find time to use many facilities.Even on saturdays and sundays they hav project work .For example it was the first time jaga came for bowling with us, he doesnt know the what film they are screening and show timings .. leave jaga, he didnt change , he is the same jagadeesh which he used to be. Its the case with arthi and govi too .I also heard that jaga is one among topper and arthi is next to him( am i right arthi?).This is the last week and its pretty free for them itseems , so arthi and jaga plz do kno abt some places inside the center and get to kno about them.
We had our lunch at Floating restaurant , a scenic place where many truths about gopal's new life came out. He will get tensed if i tell the matter in public so plz ask gopal or any of arthi,jaga,slk or to me personally. We roamed around the campus after that heavy lunch and was bugged up by karthi(a.k.a kaena) and his photo sessions. Every new place , be it tennis court, swimming pool or even rest rooms , he stopped there and took some stills, that too alone... one more info guys ( sorry , this is the last and most important one) , maintenance is important for everything and our NR.Murthy had laid plans for that also . Weekly cleaning of hostels , even roads, varnishing the needed, cleaning the window panes , etc .. Marvelous maintenance work carried out inside the campus.
In short we are missing many things by not being there at infosys, but we also have to compensate on many factors ,which we were not ready to ,during our college days . We would not know the value of the things which we have in our hand and will realize it only when we loose them. We are(I am) missing the campus ,hence this blog and infy guys will realize this only after some time..
