A Rendezvous with Time

This post is dedicated to my Nana ji (Grand pa), the one who took me places when I was a kid. Delhi (Dilli), this city has changed a lot from what it was a decade back, still the escence remains untouched.

The effort of mine has just started. Will bring more out of my box (machine).

Every Girl Must See

Moral of the story??

SPAM - was just wondering!!

I managed to find interesting data-points about the emails sent over internet in the year 2009.

• 90 trillion – The number of emails sent on the Internet in 2009.
• 247 billion – Average number of email messages per day.
• 1.4 billion – The number of email users worldwide.
• 100 million – New email users since the year before.
• 81% – The percentage of emails that were spam.
• 92% – Peak spam levels late in the year.
• 24% – Increase in spam since last year.
• 200 billion – The number of spam emails per day (assuming 81% are spam).

The carbon footprint of spam email can be phenomenal. The share of spam was at 81% of all the emails, that is 72.9 trillion emails in the year 2009. To store/forward/transmit such a vast amount of email may take huge amount of infrastructure that consumes lot of power. All this is to send the emails to the junk folder where they are never opened. Something must be done to address this than just filtering, which does not address the real problem.

Last Day at work - Bittersweet

Today’s my last day at work…

Today is bittersweet.

Clearing my desk, Consolidating my emails and documents.

Days like this always feel weird and sad.

Weird because you’re leaving your base you’ve reinforced so well to a territory somehow unknown and unexplored, sad because you’re leaving behind a load of memories and mainly because you know you’ll be missing the people, you actually were in constant touch most of your days for over 3 years.

I guess it’s always the people you get to know, how they touch your life, the different relationships you build with them, the good times, and even the not so good ones, that gets onto you.

Why did I take this step? Well, I guess, I just felt the time was right to move on, all the omens were right, maybe the stars were in place too or whatever else you believe in.

It just falls into my basic strategy of trying to set clearer goals for myself in life and to take the steps I see necessary to reach them.

Moving on to something else in my life was simply one of those steps.

My time here at this company has had its fair share of frustrating moments. However, the people at this company have always made the work bearable if not enjoyable. Actually, the work itself can be enjoyable – the joy of hunting down the root cause of an issue can be frustrating but solving a problem and uncovering a root cause is an experience equal to watching Cricket Australia decimating Zimbabwe.

I’d like to thank all the teams throughout the network for the great ride. It was great getting to know you all and to get a chance to work with every single one of you. I hope that we’ll get to carry our connect well on into the future.

I’d like to thank 2020 for having me as part of the team. I’m proud of these years that I spent here, the role I had and the work I did. I’m very happy to see the company diversifying especially going Social inturn going on to higher grounds.

I wish you all the best of luck.

Today is bittersweet indeed.....
