Jog Falls & Shimoga
Jog Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in Asia is located in Shimoga District of Karnataka state. And the Sharavathi River, which falls from a height of 292 metre (958 feet) is the cause for the water falls.
Two weeks back 10 of us, well I can refine "us" exactly as 10 Software Engineers went to Jog. Its our friend Arun Prakash Devarajan working with INFOSYS, initiated the idea. And with Arun, 5 more INFOSICIANS and 2 of our friends(Senthil & Ganesh) and of course me started off to Bangalore from Madras on 29th-Sep-2006 night. We reached there at 6am the next day and
Saksoft acquired, Acuma Group UK
Just few weeks back, Saksoft was awarded with CMMi Level 5 Accredition, and now it has acquired Acuma, a UK based high end consulting Firm for about 17 million USD.
About Acuma : It is UK’s largest, dedicated provider of information value management solutions and strategic consultancy. Acuma works with organizations to consolidate,organize and manage the huge volumes of data collected by suiness. Acuma has built an enviable track record delivering hundreds of solutions ranging from strategic advice to large multi-million pound developments. It is this experience and knowledge base that is encapsulated in their IVM(Information Value Model) framework. Acuma also offers licensing and training services in Business Objects.
Acuma have industry consultants for information management & BI consulting and several professionals who know BO, Cognos, SAS, Terradata etc. They have a product called Acusend that distributes BO reports in email or Blackberry phones. Also Acuma have an Office @ Hyderabad which is a Offshore Unit.
Explaining the rationale for the acquisition, Aditya Krishna, said that “This is a very synergetic association as the combined entity’s offerings will now be multi-vertical, multi-service with customer facing domain experts and back-end technology/service specialists."
Adding to Aditya’s comments, David Ince (CEO of Acuma) said, “We will now have stronger ability to scale-up the business model through efficient use of onsite resources and leveraging on access to offshore resources. We will be able to better serve our market with local knowledge and a global perspective”.
Saksoft share Price was up by about 20% in the last 5 days. I think it could have gone more, but this Circuit Breaker is not allowing it to grow 
Update : Acuma is having a Offshore development team in Hyderabad, and it is also under Saksoft now!!. So, as of now Saksoft have three Development centers in India I dont know whether it will be continued or not!! But as of now, in the Development Center list we have CDC, NDC & HDC (Chennai Development Center, Noida Development Center & Hyderabad Development Center )

Today is Bloggers' day, so I thought of posting a blog after loooong time.
Its, 31 - August : 3108 it can be read as BLOG, as you see in the image, so it was considered as bloggers' day.
And its like everyone must link 5 new blogs, (im neither blogging nor reading anything nowadays, I have to look for 5 new blogs) So I have to confine from my huge list, and have to read all those home page entries fully!!
Im posting this on Sep - 9th, which shows my perfectionism But really these blogs are good.
I hvnt' visited their blog many times, so I can't give any description as such.
Electronic Funds Transfers from any Bank to any ICICI Bank account
I hold some SB account in few banks in India (it doesnt mean that I use it very often or have money in that other than the minimum balance). In that list, I have a ICICI is also there, which is generally used for making my ICICI Credit Card payment, and rarely i use the Debit card branded as ICICI N Cash card. The SB account what I have, is opened some 4 years back in Trichy.
And ICICI bank is one of the first bank in the country to implement Core Banking Solution, i mean 4 or 5 years back. So everyone who has account with them gets a 12 digit account number, which can be used across any of their branch easily for Cheque/Cash deposit or withdrawal. I always give 7 r 8 out of 10 for their service, ie, their service is far more better than many other private & Multinational banks operated in India.
My salary is credited in my CITI Bank account. To transfer money from my CITI account to that ICICI account opened in trichy is not possible as inter-Bank fund transfer list of CITI wont show Trichy ICICI Bank branch. It shows all the bans that participate in NEFT/SEFT in the major cities across the country. So I used to transfer money from CITI account to my friends who have ICICI bank account.
Last month I want to transfer money to my ICICI. Generally I used to tansfer to my friends' account, so that he will transfer it to my ICICI. In the inter-bank EFT (electronic fund transfer) many of ICICI Bank branch was listed and nothing from Trichy. As ICICI, implemented Core Banking fund transfer between their branches are very easy. So I selected my branch as Cenotaph Road Branch(in madras) in my CITI online transfer page, and entered my 12 digit account numbe and registered as a Payee and transfered some amount.
After two days, I could see that transaction reflected in my ICICI account!! The amount was credited here like a non-listed ICICI Bank account. And I tried this in few other banks like UTI, HDFC & my friend tried in HSBC, which all worked out well.
Im sure this is not a bug, its just a missed option/ unclosed one way hole.
