Hunting for a House in Bangalore...

Hey folks, this is my first post since i joined Siemens in Bangalore. Theres hardly anytime to be online. Most of my time is spent in the daily chores - washing clothes, Ironing clothes, searching for hotels to have dinner, waking up early, cathing the 7:00 bus.... and so on.

Life is really tough here in Bangalore. There's no one to wake you up in the morning and serve you breakfast, no one to wash and iron your clothes, no one to do all your little chores... you are all on your own. Searching for a suitable place to live in this congested city has become one of the biggest challenges we are facing ever since we came to this city. Most of the so called 2 bedroom flats in Bangalore have tiny rooms that are a little bigger than my bathroom at home, and the rent for such places is not less than 9000 rupees. The polluted air and stinky places makes life miserable.

The brokers out here are extremely street smart- they are always looking out for easy prey like IT professionals. Anyways week long hunting we finally found a decent looking 2 bedroom flat for 9000. I hope i will be well setteled in the new house by the time my next post is up....

Till then ciao....

Remember this day folks ??

..Awesome time wasn't it...Click the collage to see it in big size !

Sigh.. the good ol days..

My new phone number......

I think in my last post, I forgot to give my new number. I don't want to give my new number in public, so I'll mail it on comp_rules. Update ur phone books and yes, do give miss calls. You can definitly call me or message me, but I think most of you will prefer miss calls as calls and messages will charge you STD rates.

Student to employee........

Hi friends!!!!

My joining date was 3rd July as most of you must be knowing. Today, its my 3rd day in the office and let me share some of my experiences with you.

3rd July...... definitely I didn't get any chance to enjoy my holidays. My project demo was on 30th June and I had to leave next day. I was still in exam mood, or say college mood and I had to join ThoughtWorks.

I left Goa on 1st July evening at 7:00 PM. Hey friends, thanks for comming to wish me good bye. Some of you couldn't make it in time but its ok. Soon, I'll definitly get chance to welcome some of you in Bangalore.

We reached Bangalore on 2nd July. We just went around, and was surprised to see that my office was on walking distance from my rented place. Now, I can walk to office too.

For the first two days, we had orientation sessions. To tell you guys, I really miss you all. But I'm really surprised to see that there is hardly any activity on comp_rules blog. Keep bloging guys.

Ok, thats it for now. Will post more things later.

Bye.
