Fill up the blank urself after reading the blog. I dnt kow wot to call it…
My day started normally… Dat means I was late again…
The day started with a broken Jam Bottle. I broke it while I was opening the Almirah…
Bang…
I managed to reach office an hour late… No probs… cause we had to work on the
Use-Case Diagram and sum presentations… for our project(ATM simulator)…
It was all fine. I handled my ppt well…
In the evening I was planning to work late to complete some work regarding the next day’s work. But couldn’t as I had to hurry to receive my frnds from Station and buy a
book for my frnd.
I bought the book and 1 for myself also(The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand)
We booked a prepaid taxi and reached our place… a cool >45 mins journey thanks to the famous traffic jam of Bangalore.
Still guessing wots so gr8 abt this day….
I lost my books … the new books at the Railway Station… Both the newly bought books…
I guess I left it at the ticket counter while I was busy buying the tickets and carrying my friend’s luggage. A cool loss of Rs.610.
If that wasn’t enough I returned to the station to search my book. A classic example of hope against hope…. ;) That adds my loss to Rs.710.
And hold on…
We had a minor accident… A bus hit our Auto… not exactly hit…. Ya it was a hit … it hit us by our side… That is… it squeezed us against the rode divider… No damages done…
But the face of my friend Sarat was worth seeing… He was scared like anything…
I couldn’t control my laugh… But after finding out how serious he was, I had to keep quiet…. Poor chap… his face was worth seeing...
Ne way that was a cool day….
It marks an end to a marathon of 10 days without any rest….
Ya 10 days no rest… n last 4 days returning to my PG at around 11…
Man I have a lot of stamina…..
Got to log off…
Need to take rest today n next 2 days no work…. :)

Jakksandra to Shivaji Nagar.
Today morning thanks to my habit of starting late… got a bit late to my work…
But thankfully, I found my bus, I mean the BMTC bus… I am still alien to the numbers and the cryptic writing following it on these buses, so always have to ask the conductor or the driver… But today the first bus I enquired abt was the correct one….
I took a bus to Shivaji Nagar… bus no 296…
The journey…
The journey in BMTC bus is one dats a pain by ne measure during these time…
The journey was of around of 45 mins…
As the bus started its journey, I found people pouring into it and rarely ne1 moving out… Didn’t these people get into the bus to get down somewhere… Neway the bus was getting more crowded with each stoppage… and me getting squeezed in the process… They sud have taken care of this thin, slim mortal who didn’t have his breakfast…
Some imp. Lessons from this journey….
Get early to the stoppage so dat u find a seat and don’t have to stand and get squeezed through out the journey.
If you don’t find a seat then don’t lift ur feet at ne moment cause u wont find a place again to rest it… believe me traveling single legged in a crowded bus is a punishment…
If possible avoid the bus during these times…
Other normal stuff u sud know it…
Finally I got down but have to take d same journey twice daily for ten more days… huh…

Sanja Chula
During my training days at Almaz Software Solutions I had been having my lunch at a place called “Sanja Chula”… It’s a decent place and most importantly caters to North Indian foods in special… So no sambhar and chutney there… The cost of food is OK… considering that we are in Bangalore and more importantly “Sodexho” These people accept Sodexho coupon….
Considering that most of the time I am having my lunch all alone I prefer to have Biryani (this suits my purse also…) Moreover to order a full fledged meal with chappati and curries u need to be in a group or with a heavy pocket….
The owner is a lady and we call her Aunty…. I had been to this place so often that the waiter there recognizes me and atleast welcomes me with a smile…
Waiter hmmm... the waiters here are the most interesting part of my story… Though the Aunty here is a North Indian and she even speaks Punjabi quiet fluently, all the waiter here are from North East I guess… even the Cooks are from N-East… But that is not sumthing interesting… The waiter’s dressing sense is something that I am talking about…. These guys though in white shirt most of the time, sport some modern hair-style… guess Aunty is paying them a gud hair stylist allowance… And to add to that most of the time they hav sum gud modern dressing sense. One can find them wearing sum modern outfits most of the time like low waist jeans and etc…
Neway wot matters to me is the food there is quiet good though served quiet late…
Training over....
The training is over...
My STM (simulated training module or whatever they call it…) is going to start from tomorrow at Bang-1… Bang-1/2/3/4 is wot they call my dcs at Bangalore…
We are almost taken into a tour of Bang… First we were posted at south Bang then East Bang and now they came up with the west part…(now Don’t think of North Bang… They don’t hav a dc out there…) But Bang-1 is at Cunningham Road and dats closer to MG Road and Commercial street, a gud place to hang out… Moreover IDC chief Mr Chet Kamat sits here. So a nice place to be at… but a smaller one…
Our training gets over today…. It was really a tiring stuff…. My training was on .NET and I was working on MS technology for the first time. So initially all those stuffs like .dll, COM, DCOM, ActiveX had scared me like nething… But the training was a learning exp. As we focused mainly on C# which was more or less like JAVA ( coding wise)… So the initial fear had been taken care of.
My trainer was not so gud, rather bad… So had to do a lot of self study to compensate for the loss… Even thanks to the so called tech-support guys here we had a SQL Server installation problem which wasted our 1Day… Ne way I don’t complain for any leisure ;) and my fight with the young and beautiful(may be...) receptionist....
Ne way training got over but I need to cover sum imp. areas like ASP.NET and remoting .. Ya self study again….
Neway with the end of the training I can atleast add a new thing to my CV – worked on .NET(C#)…
That’s an achievement.

A new location
Dumped to a new location…
We have been moved to an out location( a third party location).
Our previous location at Bang-4(that’s wot they call my office at Accenture) had been a better place.
Accenture has been hiring so many fresher lately that its in-house resources are falling short. So, they are dumping us in some other places. If I am correct, they are hiring in huge numbers. And their figure can come closer to that of Infy or Wipro if not TCS.
Thanks to this rapid recruitment I’m here and using free internet and being paid a good salary despite ...
So, I have nothing to complain…
Ok about my new training facility…
It’s a new facility at Domalur and about 6 km from Jakksandra (my place). And we have to make our own arrangement cause the company shuttle doesnot come here. No complains actually cause every month we get Rs. 800 as conveyance allowance.
But we don’t have a canteen here… N we have to walk a distance for our daily lunch here. There is a North Indian restaurant nearby and the food is descent out there. Moreover they do accept Sodexho coupon there(My primary reason for going there). Had they not been accepting the Sodexho Coupon, it would have hurt my purse badly. Paying by cash always hurts.
Moreover we are being provided net here 2 hours per day. :( Is dis sufficient… Never, I don’t know how can we manage to learn .NET without NET.
All fine by the way. Having fun whenever I find time.
Visited sum good markets here... like the MG Road, Commercial Street and Brigade Road...
More about this in my next blog....

First salary…
Hey I got my first salary on 30th. Before I had received it, I was very excited about that and was continuously checking my account online for that matter.
I got my salary credited to my account at around 4 p.m and it was Rs. 24,525.
The main thing now was wot to do wid my first salary. I’d no idea. I wanted to be wid my friends, my family and wanted to host a party, buy gifts and blah, blah, blah…
I’d planned it all, I will do this, I will do that…. But… now didn’t know where to start.
Though I’ve some of my very dear friends in Bangalore but the circle is still not complete. I wanted all to be with me atleast for today, so that I can share my joy with them. Just have masti, fun and everything sponsored by me. Yes I wanted to be with my family, all my very dear friends and no one else.
I talked to my parents and my sisters and some of my friends who don’t stay wid me in Bangalore. All my friends wanted party, and I also wanted to throw one but alas…
U always don’t get what you want.
I’d withdrawn Rs.600.00 because my Mom asked me to do so and kept it in my suitcase.
In the evening I went to a temple, for the first time in Bangalore. The temple
is a small one near to my PG. It was a bit relaxing.
Such a great day had passed with no real fun. With no real fun, no masti, nothing…
MISS U ALL.....
