Bangalore CiteHR Members: How About a Monthly Meetup to Share and Grow Together?

Hi Bangalore CiteHR Forum Members,

I saw a post in the forum that the CiteHR members in and around PUNE are planning to meet somewhere! Don't you all think it is a great idea! Yes! Why not we, the forum members in Bangalore, meet someday and get to know each other, discuss, help each other in case of any problems faced by them, suggest ways and means to solve the problems, etc. This we can have regularly once a month so that all of us meet at a common place and improve our knowledge!

" Folks, let me have your views, opinions, suggestions, ideas in this regard.

-Srinaren"

Hi Vinay,

It's a very good idea. Why don't you organize one such meet in Hyderabad? I would be very glad to participate.

Cheers,
Baskaran

Wow,

One more Bangalore retreat, good yar. You guys are lucky enough to have a group. Even I want to be a part of this retreat. Why don't we all members meet once a month in Mumbai or in any other city, where each one of us can come and share their knowledge? Why is it happening city-wise? I am asking this as people like me are missing out on such valuable meetings.

I don't have any problem in case you guys are continuing, but in my opinion, there should be a meeting once a month where we all can get together and maybe discuss what is happening in the city-wise forums, etc.

Anyways,

Regards, Preeti.

Hi, my dear Bangalore friends,

What happened? Friends other than in Bangalore are expressing their desire to participate in this type of get-together and meet once a month to have discussions, with a view to share! I know Bangalore is slow in these aspects, but cheer up my friends, come out with ideas, suggestions!

- Srinaren

Hello!

How far have the arrangements for the meet gone? Please let us know. We are waiting to find out what our members in the Silicon City are up to :)

Hey, please do not make us wait more.

Hi Nambomita,

Our friends in Bangalore are experiencing some initial hiccups! The beginning is always slow, but after some time, the sluggishness transforms into stability. Eventually, they will be on the fast track! That's why I sang the song - "Utho Bangalorewale utho"! Everybody will come to know what is happening with the Bangalore meet once everything falls into place.

- Srinaren

I have sent out an email to all members from Bangalore to inform them about this possible meeting. The email includes a link to this thread, making it easier for people to notice. Best of luck.

Warm regards,
CHR

Hi,

It's indeed a wonderful idea; I am game for it. I think first we should identify a few volunteers who can take the responsibility for arranging the event. I am sure Srinaren can be unanimously chosen as one of the volunteers, and others can express their views on taking up the responsibility. What say, Bangalore junta?

Chandini

Hi Bangalore friends,

We were trying to organize a meet in Kerala, but there has been hardly any response from here. If the date is convenient, I would also join the Bangalore meet. So count me in too... 😄

Regards,
Gautam

Hi CHR,

That's great! But unfortunately, the response is still poor. I did not expect that our Bangalore friends are so unenthusiastic! Buck up, friends. Please communicate your willingness and also your suggestions and views immediately. I am 100% sure this type of gathering will help all the members of the HR community. Only you will understand when you meet at least once. Please do respond!!

- Srinaren

Dear Team Bangalore,

How far has your work gone? When is the meeting? We are eagerly waiting to see our team rocking Bangalore :)

Please let us know. The entire community wants to see you guys!

Come ahead!

Regards,
(Cite Contribution)

Hi Srinaren,

Not a bad idea at all... I'm totally game for it. I think you should suggest a date, place, and venue. All those based out of Bangalore who would be interested would come and catch up. What say?

Ally

But CHR, I have not received any mail about the HR meeting in Bangalore. When is it? Can you tell me?

Hi Friends,

Great! At last, many of you are showing interest in the BANGALORE HR COMMUNITY GET TOGETHER. Let's work out the details in a professional manner and make this meet a grand success. It is great to know that even outside Bangalore, friends are showing keen interest in participating in this event.

So, friends, please email me at srinaren@rediffmail.com with your details, the responsibilities you can take, your expertise in arranging these types of events, your contact numbers, etc., so that we can plan out different committees for taking up different responsibilities. After mutual discussion, maybe we can meet informally at some place at a mutually convenient time and chart out the program.

I am expecting 100% involvement from all of you! Please do email me your details at the earliest.

-Srinaren

Hi Naren,

It's very nice to hear that you have taken the initiative to have a meeting with our site members where we can share our experiences. Please let me know where we can have our first meeting to take it forward.

Thanks for your overwhelming response to the Bangalore HR meet. (Cite Contribution) has posted in the same column, a small registration format. I request all of you who are interested in taking part in the meet to please provide all the details so that we can form different committees to take care of various activities for the meet.

Hello Srinaren and the organizing team,

Can you please forward me the details of this meeting:
- Members who have registered
- Meeting venue, date, and timing
- Charges and other details on what's happening at the meeting

Also, please remember to take some photos and write a report on the meeting proceedings, which I will feature on the homepage.

Hi Everybody,

We can meet informally at some place on a Sunday, preferably on the 10th of September around 3 PM. The choice of the venue is left to you all. Please feel free to give some suggestions regarding the venue. During the meeting, we can discuss and finalize the date for the gathering, the program, venue details, and arrangements, etc.

Please email me your suggestions to my email address - [Login to view] at your earliest convenience. If you know other members of CiteHR who have not yet confirmed their attendance, kindly ask them to write to me.

Best regards,
Srinaren

Hi Srinaren,

If we want to meet informally first, please meet at Vidhan Soudha Area at 3:00 PM on Sunday, i.e., 10th September 2006. If you find another better place, please inform us by email or directly to the forum.

Regards,
Sidheshwar

Dear All,

We are all very busy in our jobs, but we need to coordinate and get this meeting going. I think we need to start making calls and coordinating the meeting. Srinaren, do you have everybody's contact numbers? I can help you in calling everyone and fixing a place. My numbers are: mobile 9845390501, office 41287001.

Thanks,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,

You are right! Even despite our preoccupations, we have to ensure that our meeting preparations move forward. In fact, I had asked our friends in Bangalore to suggest a venue for the informal meeting. I spoke to Sidhu and Bharathi today, and they are all keen to meet and discuss the preparations for the final meeting. I am definitely calling our friends who have shown interest in taking up responsibilities to get their opinions regarding the venue for our informal gathering. You can always contact me on my cell phone numbers 9341222749 or 9343866001, or via email at srinaren@rediffmail.com.

-Srinaren

Hi,

I would like to know the location of the meeting, along with other details such as the time, any payments required, the date of the meeting, etc. Please provide me with the above details.

Thank you.

Hi Narendra,

One thing on my mind, let me explain to you. Why are members not showing zeal to meet? Reasons may be:

1) What are the benefits?
2) Wastage of time?
3) Wastage of money?

Now, please write to members explaining why there is a need for such a meeting.

Additionally, I suggest considering why we are not thinking of inviting big HR personalities/professionals to make such meetings fruitful and useful for members. If we do, we will certainly gain some positive outcomes.

Regards,
Sidheshwar

Hi Mr. Siddeshwar,

I am certain that our forum members will understand the answers to the questions you have asked only if they have properly viewed the citehr site, participated in the discussions, and posted some queries. The meet will be a congregation of both experienced and inexperienced individuals in the HR field. The inexperienced individuals who have entered HR activities either out of compulsion or by choice, and who may have limitations in understanding certain details or hesitations in asking questions, can interact with professionals in the field to have their doubts clarified. I am confident that they will progress in their profession. I believe our friends should realize that this is a valuable opportunity and should make the best use of it!

Regarding your second suggestion, yes, I support it and am considering inviting HR leaders from prominent organizations known for their good HR practices and employee treatment, so that all of us can benefit. However, all of this can only be included and implemented if our friends show interest and actively participate in the event.

I apologize if my tone seems a bit harsh, but the fact remains,

-Srinaren

Dear Naren,

Now I think friends are clear about our objective. Hello, friends, please extend your support to make this meet successful and provide your details to Mr. Narendra so that he may be able to organize. Please approach Mr. Narendra. Special request to you.

Regards,

Sidheshwar

Dear Mr. Naren,

I have already sent my details in the required format to your personal email id.

Hi Friends,

Finally, the Bangalore meetup is making some headway today. Thanks to the initiative and encouragement by Sidhu, Rajaram, and other members who are keen on this meet. Though not many people came out with their suggestions regarding the venue of the meet, we have decided on the following:

Dear Srinaren,

I want to register. Are there any gate fees?

By the way, what's the agenda? We could have a presentation/lecture by an eminent person followed by some light fun. Alternatively, we could have an open discussion, with everyone introducing themselves and engaging in networking/sharing resources and ideas. I would like to help by organizing some group games. Feel free to call me for anything. My mobile number is 98860-36125.

Hi Naren,

Very good selection of place and date. Now, members, please approach Mr. Naren for registration.

Hi Friends,

At the outset, I should thank a few members of the citeHr forum for their wonderful support in organizing an informal meet on the 10th of September 2006 at the Karnataka Badminton Association.

Many of you have already sent your personal profiles, including name, address, contact number, email address, interests, etc., which are essential to ensure we have the right people for the right job. For those who have not yet sent me the details, please hurry and send your information to my email address at srinaren@rediffmail.com immediately so that we can best prepare for the final GRAND EVENT. We are planning to invite Big Wigs in HR so that all of us can benefit.

So, what are you all waiting for? Rush your details immediately.

- Srinaren

Hi Amruth,

I hope you are following the citeHr site regarding the Bangalore HR informal meet. Please do send me your details immediately. Also, please attend the informal meet organized on 10th September. There we will be finalizing the conduct of the Final HR meet, which is going to be a grand event.

-Srinaren

Hey, great news Srinaren. Sorry I don't respond quickly to emails as I only check my personal ID on weekends. I also don't have much time to check CITEHR during weekdays due to my busy schedule. Anyway, I am here. Let's start off this meeting and then engage with Bangalore CITE members. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Regards, Praveen

Hi Srinaren,

Appreciate your initiative. Please include me. Also, my suggestion is to make it a little earlier. If we could schedule it by 3:00 or 4:00 pm, it would be great, especially for people who come from the other end of Bangalore.

Regards,
Bharathi V Naidu

Hi Everybody,

Thank you for your support and enthusiasm in attending the HR meet in Bangalore on 10th September. May I take this opportunity to share and clarify a few things!

Firstly, this meeting on 10th September is going to be an informal gathering to discuss the organization of an HR meet in Bangalore. We plan to invite well-known HR personalities from big industries who have made a mark in the HR world with their innovative ideas, policies, practices, etc., which will be of great help to the HR community.

Secondly, we will discuss the program for the final HR meet, including the presentation of interesting papers on important topics and the formation of different committees such as the organizing committee, reception committee, registration committee, seminar committee, hospitality committee, fundraising committee, etc., based on the organizing capacities of the members of citeHR.

Thirdly, I encourage all of us to make use of this final HR meet for our professional growth. Let's benefit from organizing this event in a professional and proper manner.

If you have anything else to convey, please inform me immediately.

Hello All,

All the best for your meeting. I wish it to be a grand success. We, Hyderabad Cite HR members, are also meeting this Sunday. Our count is 70. Can anyone reach this benchmark?

Regards,
Prabhakar Ch

Hi Bangalore Guys,

Wish you good luck with your meet. Please do let us know how it went. And don't forget the photos.

Regards, DEvjit

Hi Everybody,

I am sure you are all wanting to know how the CiteHR Get-together at Bangalore went on! Is it not? How many people attended? What were the deliberations that took place? Can we have a look at the people whom you know only by name through photographs...etc.

Well, first let me tell you all...no's and not's! Disappointed! Well, good will follow the bad, always. Light after the dark, is it not?

Altogether, 25 CiteHR forum members confirmed their participation in this informal meet held today, i.e., 10 Sept 2006, at Karnataka Badminton Association. Unfortunately, the weather God played the spoilsport! There were heavy showers in Bangalore in the evening. So, hold your breath...! 12 members attended the informal chat daring the weather God! Great! Is it not!?

As for the photographs...oh! Sorry friends, you have to wait for some more time to see the charming faces of the members at Bangalore! I assure you, you will feel happy seeing them after some time!

The meet was attended by Rajaram, Kurian, Sidheshwar, Rekha, Ramya, Deepti, Bharathi, Kiran Kumar, Shubha, Amruth, Somu Shekar, and of course, me, Srinaren!

The meet was kick-started by welcoming the gathering by Srinaren, briefly explaining the idea behind organizing this meet. This was followed by the self-introduction of the participants.

Later on, Rajaram told the gathering that there are many forums of HR professionals, but we have to make this forum from CiteHR differently! This was very well received by the members who agreed that the meet should be different and useful. In this discussion, Srinaren, Kurian, Amruth, Praveen, Shubha, Rekha, Ramya, Siddeshwar participated actively.

Then, the members shared their experiences, views, and the present scenario of HR. Initially, HR was called as Labour Officer, then became Personnel Officer, and now Human Resources Officer. Kurian felt that we should not call it Human Resources because he felt that Resources are connected with manufacture. A separate post will be appearing shortly regarding this line of thinking! Please do await it from Siddeshwar.

It was decided to meet on the 2nd Sunday of every month. The meet will have an agenda that will be notified well in advance, and there will be deliberations on that subject. The members felt that this way, many problems can be discussed, and solutions can be obtained from the senior members. Everybody can come out with their experiences, views, and suggestions on the specified subject. This was well accepted by all the members of the meet.

All members felt that the attendance should improve, and they all assured they will recommend their friends to become CiteHR members and attend these monthly meetings.

We all had light refreshments, thanks to Rajaram, who hosted this meet.

The informal meet ended with a formal thanksgiving by Srinaren.

- Srinaren

To All CiteHR Members based out of Bangalore,

We had a great time yesterday. Since the gathering was small, we could maintain a personal touch to it. Request all of you in Bangalore to join us in our meetings to come. We plan to make them different from the regular meetings.

Regards,
Rekha

Hi All,

I would like to thank each and every one of you for attending the Offline Cite HR Meet on Sunday, 10th September 2006 in Bangalore. It was nice meeting all of you.

Thanks and Regards,
Ramya

Thank you to all the Citehr members in Bangalore who attended the meet at the Karnataka Badminton Association on Sunday, 10th, 2006, and made it successful. Sincere thanks to Mr. Rajaram and Mr. Srinaren for taking the initiative and organizing the event.

Regards,
Shubha

Hi Daring Dozen, What a nickname for the people who made it to the first CiteHR meet at Bangalore on Sunday. Thank you, friends, because all of you enjoyed the meet, participated in the lively discussions, and gave views, ideas, and suggestions! This gives us more courage and ability to arrange such meets. All our CiteHR friends, please do suggest the topics that are bothering you, things that require some suggestions from experienced people... go on suggesting! We will take up these topics in our monthly meets, discuss, and give you the views, suggestions, and ideas that may be useful to you. We will post the deliberations in detail on the site so that everybody will benefit.

CITEHR FORUM MEMBERS AT BANGALORE WANT TO DO IT DIFFERENTLY - Srinaren

Hi Srinaren,

Great to hear you guys had a good time. Congratulations! We were expecting some pictures of the occasion. Please do post them if photos were taken.

Warm regards,
Devjit

Dear Friends,

Good meeting. We have to make sure it takes off from here. Could more of you sign up for the next meeting with Naren.

Regards,
Saju Kurian

Hi guys,

We are curious to see your Bangalore meet snaps and write-up. As you know, Hi-tec Hyderabad created a record with 42 participants.

Prabhakar Ch
CiteHR Hyderabad

Hi Prabhkar,

Our 2nd meeting is scheduled for 08/10/06. This meeting will address everything you have in mind. We are not KHARGOSH; we are KACHHUWA. I believe you are familiar with the friendship between KHARGOSH and KACHUWA. And who won the battle? Nothing more to say, just observe the outcome in the next Bangalore meeting.

Note: Dear Narendra sir, considering my travel schedule, please arrange a meeting on 08/10/06. Everyone should feel our collective strength. I am ready to play an important role if you initiate to ensure the success of this meeting.

CITEHR MEMBERS BANGALORE: Friends, why are we not showcasing our strength when Bangalore is a high-tech city? Please inform Mr. Narendra of your interest in participating.

Regards,
Sidheshwar

Dear Sid'war,

Thanks for reminding about the great learning. However, whoever initiates the first step is called a path maker and breaker. Hyderabad has already created a path; you are only walking through it. We had announced our 2nd meet one week back on 08th Oct. Now, though you say you are meeting again, it will be 'cut and copy' only.

I present the scenario, Kachuwas cannot come out of water because the world is so cruel that they will kill the Kachuwas. Beware!!!!

The world knows which city is the Hitech city... :) What you are imagining to do in your 2nd meet, we have done in our first meet itself. However, I don't want to discourage you guys.

Bangaloreans are Boasters
Hyderabadis are Heroes
:lol: :lol:

Regards,
Prabhakar Ch

Hi Prabhakar,

In our dictionary, there is no scope of "cut" and "paste." It might be in your dictionary. What we do is different from others. Please wait for 8th October 2006. You will see our strength. Don't become overconfident. I'm not discouraging you, but the fact is that life is full of "ups" and "downs." Right now, you are on "top," and we are "down." Please don't mind because I believe in long-lasting results, not just a one-day show. Also, please see the survey of newspapers and magazines about the development of Bangalore before we discuss further.

Regards,
Sidhehswar

Prabhakar & Sidheshwar,

Guys, what's happening?

Why indulge in this war of words? We are HR people and we need to smoothen relationships, not get caught up in one-upmanship and name-calling.

In all this, we are forgetting that CiteHr is essentially an 'online HR forum'.

On the web, it's not where you are from that matters but what you can contribute to other HR members that is important.

Prabs, even after I congratulated Hyderabad for its excellent show, is this how you repay my appreciation? (By calling Bangaloreans boasters?) I even sent you the name of one of my HR friends in Hyderabad so you could invite her to your next meet!

Sidheswar, we are meeting not to show others how many we are, but to discuss our issues and problems.

So, may I please request the honorable members of Hyderabad, Bangalore, and wherever else to work jointly for the development of HR worldwide, not just India or even one city.

Now I hope that this is taken in the right spirit by the seasoned Honorable members.

Regards,

K. Amruth Kumar

Hi Friends,

I totally agree with Amruth. We are organizing the offline CiteHR meet for the benefit of the forum members and not as an issue of prestige or a show of strength. I am really pained by the way the issue has taken a turn. This offline meet is organized for the members of the forum to meet face to face, get to know each other, and discuss important things that may be required by the Bangaloreans, Hyderabadis, Chennaites, Kolkatans, Mumbaikars, and people from all over the world. The forum has members from across the globe, and the way you are fighting to showcase your organizing capabilities seems to me as if you have forgotten the whole purpose behind organizing the meet. Actually, according to CHR, many more interesting things are in the pipeline, and if this attitude continues, I am afraid the whole purpose of conducting the offline meet will be defeated. Please use your wisdom and work for the greater benefit of the forum members.

-Srinaren

Hi Amruth & Narendra,

Without a challenge in a positive way, we are unable to meet our requirement. We are here to debate on the issue too. If somebody is in confusion, our role is to remove his/her confusion. My intention is not to defeat anyone like Prabhakar but to add fuel to meet the purpose. We have to convince everybody to participate. If we are not doing this, it means nothing is going to happen. Amruth, you should know the fact of a challenge in a positive way. I'm not here to fight, and time also doesn't permit to do so. If you are really interested in meeting on 08/10/06 for some positive purpose, please let us point out the agenda so that every member may be informed and can plan accordingly.

Hi Amrut, please revert with positive comments.

Regards,
Sidheshwar

Hi Srinaren,

I have sent an email to your personal ID. Please include my name for the October meeting, and I would like to volunteer. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Best wishes,
Surmeet

Hi Raj,

To speak is very easy, but to put the same into practice is difficult, as you must also be experiencing this fact. I am also coming to Pondicherry very soon. We will meet then.

Regards, Sidheshwar

Dear Bangaloreans,

I am certainly glad to read of your first meeting and what you achieved. However, I was a little dismayed to read the very negative and aggressive dialogues later. Look, we are all equal members of CiteHR, and the success of each meet, wherever it may be, only reinforces this. No one is better than another - we are only different - and it is the differences that add spice to the mixture! Hyderabadis who were involved in the above, please also note!

Please read the posts I have made in DRISHTI - the Mumbai meet - I hope you will support all the suggestions made... with your support, we will make CiteHR a community to be proud of!

All the best, Jeroo

Hi Jeroo,

Thank you for addressing my concerns regarding the war of words. Who are we proving ourselves to? These meetings in different cities are organized for the benefit of the HR community. We need to utilize them more effectively.

-Srinaren

Hi Patricia,

Thank you for your compliments. Even though you are far away, you can always encourage us to conduct these meetings. You may benefit from the topics we discuss during the meetings.

-Srinaren

Hi Patricia,

Thank you very much! We at Bangalore are meeting every 2nd Sunday of the month, and the next meeting is scheduled for 8th October. We want to discuss any important issues raised by the entire HR community during the meeting. After our discussions, we share the outcomes on citeHR so that everyone can benefit. Therefore, if you have any important topics that need to be discussed, please email them to me. This way, we can all discuss them and provide you with feedback on the outcomes.

Best regards,
Srinaren

Dear Sir,

It was a great pleasure talking to you last evening. Thanks for your suggestion. I'm working hard to get more registrations from Chennai for Citehr and for the meeting scheduled on the 7th of October, as there is a low number of registrations in Chennai.

I am looking forward to more suggestions and support.

Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,

It was my pleasure also for having spoken to you! I appreciate your initiative in organizing an offline HR meet. We are all here to help in case you need anything. Try to put up an agenda for your meeting and discuss the most wanted subjects for HR professionals. This way, everybody in the forum benefits.

Please provide the details of the meet to CHR so that he can put it on the homepage for more publicity. Additionally, reach out to HR professionals from other industries, explain the significance of the meeting, and encourage them to visit the citeHR site. Once they visit, they will realize the importance of registering!

Wishing you all the best,

Srinaren

Good idea, I am looking forward to it happening. Please let me know.

Regards, Rajendran R Span Outsourcing Pvt. Ltd. Bangalore

Certainly! Here is the corrected version of the user's input:

---

Srinaren,

Can we start the new thread for the second meet? We will get more registrations for the meet and get more HR personnel aware of CITEHR.

Regards,
Praveen

Dear Bangaloreans,

This time, Hyderabad is meeting with 60 people. Anyone want to challenge us?

Prabhakar

Hi Prabhakar,

We really do not want to engage in any word battles! We are interested in serving the HR community with useful information, knowledge, solutions, and would not like to enter into any war of words or mudslinging. I wish you all the best and hope your expectation of 60 will exceed a hundred and benefit the HR community.

All the best,
Srinaren

Agree wholeheartedly with Srinaren.

By the way, what did Hyderabad talk about? No postings on subjects, topics, consensus so far? Something surely must have come out of the meeting.

Hi,

I am interested in meeting HR folks in Bangalore. Please let me know the place for discussion.
