Dream come True

At last, after 6 months of waiting, now its looks like my dream of getting PMP certification looks possible. Nalanda/Polaris being R.E.P. for PMP, started training batch at Hyderabad. We are nearly 50 people who would undergo this training of 35 hours by meeting every week for 4-8 hours to discuss each knowledge area/process group starting from first week of August. After 11 weeks, there would be 3 mock tests conducted. Then we will be almost ready for taking PMP Certification.

Recommended books offered by Nalanda are:
PMBOK 4th Edition
PMP Exam Prep by Rita Mulcahy, 6th Edition.

Lucky Birthday Celebrations at Srisailam

We thought of celebrating Lucky's 3rd birthday in unique way and planned to visit Srisailam (www.srisailamtemple.com), a holy place of Lard Shiva. Along with my parents, brother's family, brother-in-law's family, we all went to Srisailam on 22nd July evening.

As usual, the day started with drizzling, which is indication of beginning of celebration in my family. Early morning of 23rd July, we started the celebrations by performing abhishekam to Lard Shiva and it was really a wonderful moments we have. After lunch, we booked local transport to see all near by places and it was really awesome to know the routes of our heritage and curture. If you are planning to visit any of the places near by Srisailam, I suggest to visit the above link to get more near by places to see.

On 24th July, after break fast, we went to Patalaganga by ropeway and then we had a pleasant boat ride in River Krishna. After Lunch, we started our return journey. On the way to home, we also visited Umamaheswara temple, very beautiful place which also has the stunning water falls near by. Late in the evening we returned to home.
