The Rise Of Phoneix...... Yea Yea Yea!!!!

Well as it goes with many other 'Firsts' in our life.... Ma first company holds a v v special place in ma heart! N sadly I had to bid farewell to it when it wasnt at its peak... Kinda like giving it a 'Dhoka'.... So well the guilty conscience ensures that my loyalities are still firmly with good Old Satyam computers!!! Not east to shrug off a 5 year old bond u c....

Just the other day as I was returning with ma hubbs a bill board on the road caught my attention.... It was the ad of FIFA world cup!! Now now by no strecth of imagination am I a Football Fan... so well my hubbs had more than quizzical expression on his face untill I revelaed the source of my gyaan! For a period of time in 2008 before the Satyam Fiasco emerged, Satyam was to be the official IT partner for FIFA world cup... N well for a mid-sector company thats a Big catch.... So all our official 'Signatures' was this collage of FIFA N Satyam Logo! N I couldnt help but wonder aloud as to who is providing the IT Services now!

This happened on sunday n the very next day, the below article in newspaper catches my attention!!

Indeed The raise of Phoneix!!!! I from the depth of my heart hope that they pull the event thru with no hitches n my dear company soon raises to its old glory! Indeed am still proud to be a Satyamite(Ex)

The Satyam Spirit....Proud to be a Satyamite!!

Ho yeah am employed with the now (in)famous satyam Computers. But no this blog isn't to discuss abt the Satyam fiasco.....Will leave that to media! Thou I think its time somebody pulls up media for painting what is at times a completely wrong picture....

Wondering whats left in Satyam to be still proud of it?well am still proud of being a Satyamite......am proud of the Satyam spirit!!The spirit that is holding the employees together! Do not go by what media says...yeah most of us have a fear of insecurity in us but the most overwhelming of the feelings is the spirit of unity...The spirit among employees to still hold the Satyam flag high!! Trust me when I say that there are guys who are busy working day in day out on their projects and haven't even thot of posting their resumes yet! N no we do not keep hanging around the pantry and discussing the exit options as media wants you to believe!

Think this emotional attachment to a company is foolish?? Well our loyalty is not to a individual but to a company....cause we believe Satyam is bigger than any individual! N as to what Mr.Raju did, I agree it was unfortunate but please do not forget that he had provided livelihood to more than 50 k families including me and I personally believe he did try his best to pull out the company from this crisis but a few wrong calculations landed him and all of us in this soup!! No, I am not trying to defend him...but yeah my heart goes out to him!!!

One of my colleagues Hemanth (https://imailhyd.satyam.com/OWA/redir.aspx?C=4f72dc9450d6450187e8a7a7cd38ac74&URL=http%3a%2f%2fhemanthkakumanu.blogspot.com%2f2009%2f01%2fsatyam-we-stand-by-you-till-last-minute.html ) in a email to me says "I agree he did a mistake bt we have survive the company ....its our own company nt Raju family's.... I cnt even think of some one splitting this org in to parts and distribute.... I am still providing 24/7 support to the project.... Just sleeping 3-4 hrs since last two days cause any small slippage at this point would be attributed to this fiasco.......i am ready to wrk without salry bt at onsite i will ask thm to give half sal becoz we cant survive here without money."

N no Hemanth is not a one off case....The turn out of Satyamites for the 'Spirit of Satyam' Campaign two days after the fiasco talks in itself!!! Ho yeah its this spirits among Satyamites that makes me say "Proud to be a Satyamite"!!!!
