ICICI Lombard

Though I had the capability, it is ICICI Lombard that gave me the platform, rather demanded from me to utilise all my capabilities and perform to my best abilities. I have written about my experience in ICICI Lombard in detail in this article: http://thomasrekha.blogspot.com/2007/11/change.html Please also find my farewell mail that I sent on the penultimate day in ICICI Lombard:

It is my turn now. Been in the system for over 20 months and did cherish every single moment during this time. Let me take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you, especially the BSG and CS Team for facilitating all the achievements that came my way. Trivandrum M1 was doing an average booking of 7 lakhs net premium, when I joined the system and we together, more than tripled it to a range of over 25 lakhs every month. It was a dream to beat the other locations like Kottayam, Calicut and Cochin. We had overtaken Kottayam and Calicut very soon and Cochin had seemed to be a far fetched dream. But with all your self less support, even that was made possible. It was a pleasant surprise for me that last month Trivandrum M1 had booked over 29 lakhs, where as Cochin came second to us, by booking only around 16 lakhs.
Here is wishing Shinu all the best in taking the M1 business of Trivandrum location from strength to strength in the days to come.
Once again thank you for all the support you have extended, during my brief but memorable stint at ICICI Lombard.

Rekha

Chasing behind success and the mad rush to gain more knowledge and more experience in the worldly matters, I had missed out to give a pause and smell the roses. That is when Rekha came in my life. We got married on August 25th, 2005. With many opposites in opinions earlier on, we over the past years have found a perfect blend between us. One completes the thought for the other and we are a perfect compliment to each other.

Atlas Copco

I whole heartedly admit that I am very fortunate to have been placed in Atlas Copco from the Campus selection. It was more rewarding to me because it was the time when the Atlas Copco group in a whole was concentrating on India and implementing various plans to accelerate the growth process in India. A true and unrivaled world leaver in all sense of doing business - staying at the forefront of technological innovations and constantly sustaining itself in the Fortune 500 companies of the world. It values its employees the most. It was truly a feather in the cap for me.

We ManEdge

This was the most serious and most hard working group that I have ever been in. The groups website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wemanedge_ibs/ But my membership in the group did not continue for long, however I enjoyed each of the session as it was always packed with abundant knowledge and diverse views to be shared.

The SAP Program

All about SAP is in the following blog: http://thomasrekha.blogspot.com/2008/07/sap-program.html

Eloquent Creaters

This was my first self development group and over the years I have found out that it was the best among all as it still survives after 7 years of its inception.

Computer

Computer has played a major role in my life. It has been a part and parcel in every major task in my life.

It joined me when I was 18 years old.

ICFAI Business School, Hyderabad

While VCE had educated me on the Technical front, ICFAI Business School, Hyderabad, honed my skills on the commercial front. Ranked among the top 10 B-Schools in India, I could not have asked for a better experience than this.

While VCE helped me to spread my wings, IBS helped me to take flight like an eagle.

Those were (2002 to 2004) the busiest days of my life.

Friends

Most of the important decisions in my life, were taken with the help from my friends, even without they realising it.

I am highly debted to each of my friend for all the good things they have brought to my life.

I am happy that I am in touch with most of them through group emails and social network sites.

Thank you all !!

Vasavi College of Engineering

Thanks to the wonderful coaching that Vidhwan had offered, I received a good rank in Eamcet - 2149 - and was fortunate to get a seat in the prestigious, Vasavi College of Engineering, Hyderabad. This is where my future took a definite direction. My career from here had narrowed down to the field related to Mechanical Engineering.

Ranked among the top 100 Engineering colleges in India, this college is an epitome of holistic education one can receive.

This college opened all doors for me and had created many platforms for me to hone my skills and was groomed well in the technical sphere of my life.

These were my initial days of socialising. My window to the world was opened during these 4 years. All barriers, mostly psychological, were subsided here and my wings were allowed to spread and let me soar in the skies of this world.

My +2 college

Though the photo does not literally depict my college - Siddhartha Junior College, Chandanagar - it definitely highlights the atmosphere that my college had created for me, especially for my future.

It was during the 2 years of mine in this college when the steering of my life in to a different direction began.

I went for a year long program of Diploma in Electronics Engineering from ITI and also joined the Vidhwan Eamcet Coaching center. The institute that defined all my success that came my way till date.

This college introduced me to our Principal and Math teacher, who though portrayed signs of a terror figure, was very good a heart and only wanted the best out of each student - this helped me a lot.

From this time forward I was always among the top in studies (usually 3rd).

Susan and Sajan


My glimpse to the social world. They are every thing to me: friends, brother and sister. We have shared many moods, both good and bad; but we have always passed through and have had wonderful times together.

Parents


This should have been the first post as they are elementary for my existence in this world. My parents have laid a strong foundation for me. They had constantly sacrificed many things to give me a better future. Their impeccable character has made them a perfect role model for me. Always supportive, always encouraging, always forgiving, always understanding and much more - what else could I have asked for?
