Campus 1B, RMZ Ecospace, Outer Ring Road. That’s the new address of Capgemini – Bangalore centre. Now 1200 strong. The security guy at the reception was handing over visitor’s card (# 333) when Ranjith came down to receive me. A hug and pleasantries later we were in the lift. Most of my pals are in the 4th floor. General Motors project. Ghouse is on a tele con. Andrew’s voice is booming on the VoIP, “ATG box has 4 instances...”. Ghouse puts it on mute. “Hey Ganga..Kaise ho? Websphere 8.1 is thro’. ADRP was khool..IPAR has some ip issues in the reverse proxy”. High five. These acronyms have lotsa history, teamwork, sweat and smiles behind them. 
Sunil shook hands and asked about my campus life. I ask him about the
project management issues. He says severity 1 issues have been put on check. No deployment issues in the last 3 months. No 7 hour long SWAT calls these days! Team has grown to 56. Sunil is the Service Delivery Manager. Cool as cucumber even in High Temperature and Pressure conditions. The new workplace layout and design is simply khool. Made friends with the new members in the team.
Wanted to meet Santhosh. Mr. Santhosh Bhargava is the VP. Down to earth and affable. He gave me time amidst his meetings and tele cons. Also posed for a fotu! Very kind of him. He has promised to help me get in touch with Mumbai folks for guest lectures etc…Meanwhile, I asked Ghouse, Ranjith and a few others to hit bistrobanter url. Sukanya’s “Native Talk” came on Mozilla. Wished them all good luck and left Ecospace. It was a Jolie good trip!
C u all soooon,
Ganga
