Bangalore begins

I’d got a lot of things to do in Bangalore right after my arrival. Here’s the itinerary for the 1st week:

Day 0: First outing was to lodge a complaint for a stolen mobile phone at a Mobile Operator’s Office. Got drenched again the very first day in Bangalore, but I wasn’t the only one, both my friends were wet too. Thanks to the Hotel Manager, we had a rough time all night.

Day 1: We spent the half-day arranging for an accomodation & evening at a Police Station for compromising city traffic rules due to urgency & ended up paying 1800 bucks. Not to forget, saw the best shopping mall of the city, only from outside.

Day 2: I could be located at local-market shops buying household goods & trying to spend-n-save the money at the same time.

Days 3-7: No, I’m not that bad; same Unix basics training again?? Ok, forget me, even those who started learning Unix at Pune aren’t that bad???

After a few days, I got to know about my project; I’d got a project of one of the top Telecom major in the world. I was happy, that finally things would settle now.

I joined the project next week, and started with the Induction Programmes after 2 weeks. Office is good, rather the best company office in the city. Development team has just been formed after my joining (I’m the only person in my team :P).

Sitting in the office of the biggest software firm, working for probably the biggest telecom company makes me feel good.
