My new Alto K10 VXI

Finally, I got my first Car. Yes, it is Alto K10 VXI ( Silky Silver ). The drive has been so comfortable. No doubt it is the best selling hatch back car from several years. With a decent 17+ mileage, and pretty good look, it suits a small family very much.

Featured with a 1000cc engine, front power windows, and other accessories as part of the fully loaded model, its giving me 17 kms per litre. With the amount of traffic increasing in Bangalore, we can easily sneak in the small roads with this Alto. Thats an added feature, as its small and can be driven through the narrowest roads like Avenue Road :)

With the launch of the hyundai-eon. There has been a very big hype already about eon, that it might compete and even beat Alto ( 800 cc).
We need to wait and watch as to how the competition goes between eon and Alto.

Yahoo!!!!

Its been 2 months since I joined Yahoo!. I have learnt ample amount of technologies. I am already experiencing as to why engineers like to work at Yahoo! and why its one of the best places to work for!

I have seen engineers being not happy in companies, either due to the constraints they will be having, to incorporate the languages. They will be restricted to work on only one thing for a very long period of time. There will not be much of coding, and only enhancements for the existing code. LIke these, there may be several reasons for why they dont like their jobs.

Yahoo! is one of the few companies whom you should look for. It provides the engineers to leverage the power of open source technologies, freedom of implementing the code using the open source technologies based on engineers choice and its feasibility and flexibility.

Below are some of things I have dealt with.

1) Hadoop File System, Grid Computing.

2) Selenium

3) Robotium

4) Android programming.

5) IOs programming using Objective C.

6) IntelliJ IDE which is robust and really awesome.

7) Hibernation in Java using various Databases.

I am enjoying every single moment at Yahoo! and hoping and hunger to learn ample amount of things, every day!
