The Elections

The curtains have come down on the recently held elections and the verdict is out!Digambar Kamat is the new CM(Chief Minister).Is the entire population of Goa really content with this decision?Now whos to judge on that?Few of us probably are and then again there are the other few who dont think so.If you are among those who cast their vote for the Congress party then you have all the right to jubiliate else you have to sulk in your seats about the BJP loss yet again!

Yes I do know that the BJP supporters want to vent their anger and frustration but you know what theres really nothing that can be done.

The Monsoons Are Here...or Maybe Not

Alright so its the end of Summer and the beginning of the Monsoons.However,instead of the weather gettin to be cool,its totally not the next day...Just gets hotter and humid.What I personally dont like is the heat getting to me and sweating like crazy.In no way is the weather cool ...AT ALL!!!well i guess then the monsoons have not really set in....Yesterday while I was riding back from Mapusa,there was no electricity in some parts of Panjim city,branches of trees strewn aside,displaced by the monsoon winds,almost flooded roads,moody drivers with no respect whatsoever of the driving rules!!!Oh and the campainging of the "going to be held" Elections!!!can't get any better.

The Long Awaited Picnic

CEO's feedback
The annual picnic for intelgraters this year was a dull and boring affair.The venue for the outing was morjim beach.Why dull and boring you ask? Well it was supposed to be fun and interesting and it was not as each one did their own thing.A few played cricket,a few of them were on the cellphones and a few of them went for a walks.Even during lunch time one went to meet their relative and was not there for lunch and the food ordered was way too much.Though the day started on a good note, for me personally it ended on a bad note both personally and professionaly.Personally because I was stranded out of the office for almost an hour and half and had to take all the stuff out of the mini bus and make so many trips to the office from the bus and professionaly because I didnt see the entire team being together. There are small islands being formed which is not a good thing for team work.

Graphic designer shortage at Intelgrate

Graphics play a very important part in a website as even a simple image can convey a lot to the end user.Here at Intelgrate we are having serious problems getting the thought process on paper/photoshop as we are trying to learn the art of perfect graphics but we cannnot just bank on that.God only knows when we'll be ACE at it.

So you get the picture "We require a really creative mind" who will have the graphics say it all yet already being ACE at what he/she does.He/she should and ought to be able to visualize mentally what a client explains and convert the mere description of words into pictorial themes or in simple words into pictures.Mental visualization should be to the graphic designer like honey is to bees ,carbon dioxide is to plants, oxygen is to mankind....

Alive and Kicking!!

Ok so the corporate blog had been dead a couple of days since I(Charlotte) wasn't available to write anything but now since I'm back from wherever I was, loads to tell about .Our interns are working full fledged and seem to enjoy their respective

Two of my layouts are up on the server but major re designing has to be done
because I'm still new at this and am learning.So wish me luck!

Anna's bday bash!

Anna's birthday celebration finally kicked off today.From the start of the day all of us Intelgraters were in a party mood and still are.We had our crew from the GKB team join us.As the saying goes the more the merrier and so it was....I don't think it was a surprise to Anna!!!:)The day began on an excited note.Who isn't all game for a party ,right?So we did the deciding of the menu for lunch which was odered by Fritz,the party drink was Sprite and we ended it with Vanila and Chocolate cake which was chosen by Fritz(he picked it up in a car ...so he literally escaped the heat!!lol)We had a lot

Notes From CEO's Desk: Interacting With The Interns

Yesterday six interns from the MES (Mormugao Education Society) College of Arts & Commerce came in for an interview all of them are pursuing their BBA (Bachelors Of Business Administration) from MES College.

They all will be joining the resident Intelgraters here at Intelgrate HQ from the 16th of April 2007 and am sure all the Intelgraters are as enthusiastic as me to work with this bright minds who are rearing to go and change the world after they finish their educational training at present a BBA degree and then there is an MBA degree on their cards too.

In my interaction with all of them yesterday I found out they have role models like Bill Gates, Laxmi Niwas Mittal, Donald Trump etc etc and they themselves are looking at jumping on the entrepreneurship bandwagon 10 years down the line and enter various sectors like food,automotive etc also found out that they have a passion for HR, Marketing and Operations what was disappointing was that the trend this days seem to be flock towards HR and Marketing and no one seems to be interested in Finance.

The Picnic scenario at Intelgrate

The guy who works at Intelgrate has come to only one decision for now and that is that Intelgraters are going for a much awaited picnic.The venue as well as the date is yet to be finalised.The places suggested by various Intelgraters are Baga,Calangute,Ashvem,Morjim and Bat island(Divar),the latter of the lot suggested by me:) Im guessing the majority is for Ashvem as observed from the Intelgrate mailing list(info overload....hehe)but it is yet to be finalised.The date apparently most want is the 7th or the 14th of April '07 which is again to be finalised.So we are all waiting for the "V
