Monkey business at the Nandi Hills

Highlights:
1) The "NI boys!" decided to go on a trip to the Nandi Hills on bikes.
2) The "NI boys!" lie down on a lawn.
3) Vishal picks up a fight with a monkey. After a brave fight, Vishal proves that even though he is comparable to the monkeys, his brain works a tad faster.


The Curious Incident of the Monkey in the Day-time :

This incident happened when the "NI boys!" decided to lie down on the lawn for a while on the Nandi Hills. Sumit was sitting with Vishal's bag beside him, a monkey came out of nowhere and tried to snatch the bag. The monkey realized that it was no match for Sumit and then began to size up Vishal. It deduced that Vishal would make a worthy adversary and attacked him. After a hard fought battle that lasted for several minutes, Vishal emerged victorious.

Soon after the battle, the reactions in the two camps:

Monkey camp ->
'Leader Monkey (to the monkey that fought Vishal): You lost the battle against "Vishal"! We are ashamed of you! Be a monkey, go fight back and win this time.'

"NI boys!" camp ->
'The rest of the group: If the monkey had bitten you, you would've become Monkey-Man (à la Spider-Man) and then saved the Bangalore city from all the crooks. Pity that it didn't bite you!'

(What a PJ!)

So, the next time a monkey tries to attack you, you know whom to contact.

Three Lines Of Code

When Shashi says that, "A problem can be solved in just three lines of code",


he basically means that he needs three hours of work and thirty lines of code...

Relish Every Moment

A wise sage once said, "Thou shalt relish every single moment of thy life".

One of the NI boys took it very very seriously.



PS: This was the emotion observed at 'Juice Junction' (of course which is near Jayanti Sagar and Jyothi Nivas Girls College)

Full Emotion and Wholeheartedness

A wise sage once said, "Whatever you do, Do with all your emotions and extreme wholeheartedness".

One of the NI Boys took it very seriously...

"Minty" Problem

On arrival of some candies on the 4th floor oasis,

Nitin learnt from the smart NI boys that there is a "Minty" problem to these candies, that somehow hamper your potential to be totally potential in the world...

However, on googling for whether it is true or not, Nitin found that it is totally incorrect... So here, now Nitin devours all the left over Minty Mint Candies... :D

Nitin at his creative best?

As stated by Nitin, the story behind the photo -> "Sujay found the site. I thought of the idea. Rajneesh approved it. I found snaps, mostly from nib (Aparna's snap, courtesy Nagashree :-)). I made up the collage. Everyone reviewed it (except Aparna). Niranjan told to send to Test Automation. :-). End of Story."

Awesome collection and creativity!

Om Ganeshaya namaha!

It is customary in the southern parts of India to start any work after a prayer to lord Ganesha. "Jai Jayanthi" (a prayer to appease our Ganesha). We are indeed blessed to have Ganesh right here amongst us.

Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pride to introduce to you the "NI boys!". In this blog, we are going to discuss the lives of the few people who make a difference at NI India RnD. A small introduction to some of the elite few:

Ganesh: The 'tunta boy' of NI. His commitment to Jayanthi is unparalleled in this universe.
Sumit: The 'terrorist boy' of NI. He is believed to be in the top brass of the Lashkar-e-WMS.
Bharath: The 'L K boy' of NI. His belief in living his life akin to that of Lord Krishna of Dwaapara yuga (sans the demon slaying) is quite popular in TnB circles.
