Blessings from Elders


It's an amazing coincidence that all four member of this family here in US for the first time in our life time are simultaneously employed on Aug 3, 2020. We took this picture on our dining table. The four  laptops represent the four companies that we work for. This moment was possible because all four of us are working remote due to Covid issues. The latest member to start the work is Tanvi who is starting her career today with Microsoft.

This day today was possible only because of blessings from our elders and wishes from all of you.

From BI to AI



It was just a couple of weeks back, I was speaking to Girish Pathak, my ex-colleague at Satyam & Zensar, who mentioned “From BI to AI” when he came to know that my younger daughter is joining Microsoft in the area of Cloud & Security that intersects with AI & ML.

I realized that when I started my career in Information Technology, BI was the hot and emerging 
trend in late nineties. All I used to do was eat, drink and talk BI to understand what the heck it meant and how to master it along with my ex-colleagues in erstwhile Satyam Computers.

Our daughter Tanvi recently graduated from University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign (seen here alongside her elementary school graduation pic) and is all set to join Microsoft in August. It’s just funny to think that in last 21 years the level of understanding from Dad to Daughter has evolved from BI to AI.

She is very excited to join her first job and here is wishing her the best.
