Being a Y! ...

Y'day i was really happy. For the first time in last 10+ months, i thought man, its good to be a Yahoo! So what do you get being a Y!, here you go with the top five:

• Smart and great people to work with on interesting challenges that change lives of billions of users on the internet


• Cool ambiance and friendly and funky work environment


• Free coffee, tea, snacks, fruits and almost free lunches (and i must confess i've not found such good food in my last 4 years of industry experience elsewhere). Frequent gifts (specially Tees for any and every occassion in the company). I've a number of them now and have stopped buying from malls. :D


• Free FitnessOne gym membership (apart from the in-house gym and trainer in the office)


• A respect in the developer community for being an Y! and opportunity to explore your different skills within the company for the company. Y! organizes so many things internally and externally, if you are active, you get to see a lot and won't have time to kill idle.

I really felt classy today in the gym. :D I was sharing gym floor with couple of models who were also working out in the same gym. For a moment, i thanked Y! and was too happy :-) i also hit my first target today 2kms in 10mins, tomorrow i'm going to Pande (my office gym trainer) and hit him with the results :D So, Yahooooooo!!
