Me, Ma Life…

June 2, 2008

Hello people, don’t think I put today’s date wrong. I meant it. Not many people know the importance of that day. This is a kind of Me, Ma life Reloaded, it was something I used to write, over a doc file and send it to people who was close to me and now I’m Blogging it…

Let’s get to the matter itself. On June 2, 2008 I joined BigLeap Softwares, a part BigLeap Solutions (P) Ltd as a Software Trainee. At this moment I realize its been a year after I got out of My College. A year obviously is a long period, a lot of stuff happen in a year. This is just a brief note on account of what all things happened before. First of all I would like to thank Eby sir and my parents for making me take the job at BigLeap. It was a turning point in my life. If I hadn’t taken the job, I don’t know where I’ll be, and possibly I wont be writing a blog like this for sure, (This is similar story with the dots, if you haven’t understood it now, you haven’t read/heard the most inspirational speech of all time by Steve Jobs). The job gave me hands on experience on the web programming. The job gave a a lot of new friends, I have been associated with BarCamp Kerala just because of I was there at that time. I wouldn’t have attended if Ramees hadn’t forwarded a message to me, Attending BarCamp Kerala was an “Awesome” experience, it made me understand what all stuff I was missing; like association with people of your domain, knowledge of great tools etc etc. I’ve been deeply associated with BarCamp Kerala from its 3^rd edition. And that made my network of contacts grow bigger, really bigger. It gave me a lot of people whom I can really on, to whom I can turn back at any time for support. People like Kenney, Anand, Binny, Sanil, Sajith, Sarath, Albin, Arun Basil Lal, Aravind Jose are always with and around me… Love you all…( Sorry if I miss someone’s name…).

I don’t say life was really good at that time, financially and all. I had been through all difficulties then. My friends who got offers letters from different MNCs where offered almost 4 to 5 times the salary I got. Money doesn’t matter always, but it does sometimes. But as i say always ‘So Far So Good’, it was and is  “So Far So Good” itself. As I was in six months contract with BigLeap, I decided to quit after the contract was over. There were reasons to quit; I’m thankful to the people at BigLeap. The urge to start a software company was in me for the last 6 years, I know it’s a long period, but I was really lazy at that time (I named it Infinite Solutions then); But now I was totally ready for it. As I was looking for incubation (basically office space and infrastructure), I heard about the Technology Business Incubator at NIT Calicut. And We submitted the business proposal there, and It got approved and we started Infinite Open Source Solutions on Jan 1^st 2009. We, yes it’s the essence of this one year of life; that’s why I kept it till the end. The Team IOSS, the back bone of Infinite Open Source Solutions. Its great to have a team like this, the people whom you can always really on. Ready to do anything, they have an irresistible urge to be successful in life and we are in our pursuit of Success. Its one year of togetherness, I love you people, You are my strength…

I’m stopping now since we are partying!!! now…

All I wanna say is “Picture abhi baaki hey mere dosth…”, Just like that, So wait and watch…
