WEEK IN BRIEF - 18 - 23 October, 2010

Quote for the Week
"Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome." - Samuel Johnson

The above line simply tells us; “Enough thinking, just go DO IT
One problem many of us face is that we think way too much. Suppose, we want to do something we’ve never done before or rather do it differently, we mull over it so much that our brains turn to slush. We weigh the pros and cons, the difficulties we might face, what someone else might think, what might happen or what my neighbour’s dog might think, and most importantly, if we will succeed. That doesn’t mean we should not think at all; but sometimes we just need to take a chance and go find out. Successful people differ from the ordinary in that the former took risks just to see how far they could go.
And now everyone knows.


Week in Brief @ IPSR

10 years as a Public Limited company

October is a special month for IPSR .It was on October 5th, ten years ago that we registered as a Public Limited Company and that too as the first one in the Central Travancore area. During the past 10 years, a lot of milestones have been crossed and many people have been able to make a good start for their Career dreams at IPSR.Many had joined even as a student and grown from there. Thus IPSR has been able to ignite the fire of passion within many personalities who are now at the pinnacle of their careers.

Vibrant IPSR is going for a rewind into the history of IPSR and pull out some stories of its former employees. With the next Annual Meeting coming up in November, this will also be an opportunity for all former IPSRians to recollect the great times they had at IPSR.

Turning back the pages, we came across Mr.Vinay K.Amaranathan. He had come to IPSR as a B.Tech fresher with the aspirations of becoming a Red Hat employee but destiny had something else chalked out for him. He joined us back in 2003 during the inception of the IPSR Hardware & Networking Training division. During his tenure here, Mr.Vinay was mainly engaged with the Linux division of the IPSR Calicut branch and in November, 2003, went on to become the first RHCE from IPSR.

Later on, he joined Intilla Systems as a Linux Administrator. In 2006, Mr.Vinay headed off to Wipro Infotech as a Senior Server Management Engineer. Now standing in the sixth year of his IT career, Mr.Vinay is working with IBM in Bangalore as an Advisory System Analyst in performance testing in the security domain as a part of the IBM ISS project. Mr.Vinay is happily married and his wife is currently working in Infosys, Bangalore.

We thank Mr.Vinay for sharing his story with Vibrant IPSR.Wishing him the very best for all his future endeavours.
