I challenge Nokia

I challenge Nokia to make a phone which is exactly similar to C5 (your own product). The only condition is i should be able to use it without any complaints, not even visiting the Nokia care once for the whole warranty period.

If you fail you will have to remove the tag "world leader in mobile technology" from your website.


Lets see if you have the mettle.

I will never buy a Nokia phone again

On last Christmas, i went out o buy a phone. I had Nokia C3 in mind and the sales person up sold it to a C5. And ever since i regret for the purchase.

In less than a month, i took it to Nokia care as it as hanging very often. Next month i took it because it was not ringing. Now i visit the care center every month for one reason - Nokia C5 is incapable of alerting if i receive a message after the no of messages cross 40% of its price! So statistically, if you get 50 messages every day, you will have to format your phone once in every 58 days. They dont give a fuck about us loosing data.

the rolling stone

Subin... I am looking at ur profile wondering if its true !! dramatic change

i saw this on my FB wall last sunday. people will be surprised if u change your job 5 times in 18 months. well all of them were not proper jobs, still i drew salaries from 4 different places already.

this time i am moving to Mu Sigma, a business analytics firm in Bangalore, hoping i wont move out of there for at least a few years.

I passed out of college in may 2009. roamed around trivandrum for a few weeks. settled my scores and reached home by end of june. My joining date was still 4 months ahead and sitting idle was definitely not on my list.

I joined GreenLemon. Its a web solutions provider in calicut. Stayed for almost 45 days as an intern. the job was really good. i learnt SEM, i learnt analytics, web designing, web hosting, joomla, droopal, php,i know what a suckerfish is, I talked to clients, i learnt the difference between first fold and second fold. went on "official tours". i loved it.

All of a sudden i got my M&M offer letter. the joining was still 3 months ahead and auto passion boiled my blood. I joined a garage as a mechanic. I wanted to learn about cars. i started with changing the number plate. then bumpers, tyres, brake pad, exhaust, spark plugs, ignition timer, steering system,... and finally the whole engine. I have to say, in one month i learnt more than what M&M could teach me in 8 months.

Finally, the much awaited day arrived and i left for Nasik. Joined M&M. and it was a disaster. One week of senior management week was the most boring days of my life. they talked and talked and it never ended. 2 weeks without non veg. If maharashtra stop making Pav, the whole people will die of hunger. and after a fortnight when i went to Karim's and had a bite of chicken, tears rolled down my cheeks.

I have seen elimination rounds in reality shows. But M&M showed us new levels of elimination. every friday the HR will call up a meeting and say they have a requirement of n people to some xyz department. either we can volunteer or they will choose. even now i dont know how they choose. Shop floor training was good. R&D induction was useless. what is the whole point of telling what all are there if you are not allowed to choose. Its all business requirement. HR finally became a nightmare.

Finally i ended up in R&D engines group. i dont want to say what happened in the coming months, but anyways i resigned after a few months. I had a good insight about the indian auto industry and decided not to go back. A small advice to all autopassionate engineers, please dont join an indian OEM.

I have been working as a lecturer for the last few months, and i love what i do. now its time to move on again. its inevitable!! i could have tried for this while i was at college itself. But as bible says, there is a time for everythin, a season for every activity under heaven.

A prayer

I feel her love more and more as days pass by. For one moment I thanked god for everything that happened in my life, both good and bad. And prayed for strength to love her as much as she loves me, and to make sure that her eyes will never be wet.

Love forgives

All this life I heard love forgives but never felt it. Today I saw tears rolling down her cheeks for what I did. But the next moment she said its ok and smiled at me. If this feeling that she has for me is love then I dont know how to love.
