On Monday, my sister flew in to Chennai to train her colleagues in some IBM portal stuff. It was chaotic from the beginning. Training venue was not decided on Monday. And yesterday, when she finally gets to the spot, there were other amusing notes waiting for her – there was no A/C (it is practically not possible to sit and listen in this hot summer), the folks who had turned up were all more experienced, meaning they were looking for an advanced course and not the beginner’s course. After such comedy-of-errors, the training was cancelled. I went to see her in ‘The Park’, where she was staying. Wow! what a hotel! Its interiors are very modern. Anyway, we laughed over her trip tasting burgers and cocktails. Then I dropped her in the airport.

It amazes me, how unplanned all of these IT companies are, who claim to have best of the industry practices.
