Now i have spent more than 24 hours in Delhi, Gurgaon to be specific and i have innumerous thoughts to pen down. One of my important observation here is "The carz". More than 60% of the carz had one thing in common and i will be observing this phenomenon for next couple of days until i get usual with that. This observation what i made was not indifferent to brand,price, type of people who is riding the car. Well, it's nothing but the injury, yes i see more cars
damaged than clean cars on roads. I saw honda city,innumerous indicas,Omnis,santro etc, name any popular brand of india, i see it on delhi roads with damage. I was wondering who could be doing wrong for the poor carz whether it is rash drivng of all or some or the roads are too narrow to escape this torture for them. i realy am very cautious on roads while dealing with these poor yet dangerous machinez.
One more thing which drew my attention, rather i was trying to feel the place and making my attention towards strange things which i can note it down was the trees of delhi. First of all they are very sparse unlike bangalore where you can see green from any part of city. Here the green trees have almost lost or in the evolutionary phase of changing their green colours to yet to be decided(by mankind) colours. I am talking about the dust and pollution of Delhi. Somtimes i get confused during day whether it is fog or a combination of smoke and dust. I have stopped worrying about pollution long back.Surprised! No i am not a careless man on this earth, rather i strongly believe in almighty who has created this whole universe also has the power of destruction and he knows very well what kind of complex creature human is. I beleive man cant destroy world by pollution because he will exhaust resources of pollution before he can possibly
pollute the world to end. Almighty is all knowing and he has made only so much resources available to man which should not endanger himself.We can argue that man is capable of destroying 6 earths with the nuclear power available with him. But Almighty have set the mind of people in such a way that no one is gonna use it, out of fear among themselves. Ex: our cold war super powers.
Well i am going in a different direction, let me get back to my office, my client is a BPO company and i am here as a technical consultant to setup some system for my client. Well all these years i was in an IT industry environment. i had heard about the coolness and stress of a BPO job.This was the first time i was actually working in between and along with these people. As i was entering the office i was thoroughly checked displaying the stringent security measures of these days specially in a BPO company that too in national capital. As i was walking towards my other colleague i could see people busy with their monitors,some are talking loudly, some are playing songs loudly, more than allowable limits in my company, some are singing loudly. I didn't feel anything odd but if these people walk in a similar way in my company they will definitely feel odd as they can't play and sing songs so loudly!
Later i explored office with finally having a cup of tea in cafeteria eavesdropping people's talk about the sealing of borders of delhi as tomorrow is Republic Day. Every one was planning to Delhi to avoid that extra checks by security guards near delhi borders. Well after that my work started with installation issues and mails.
I am looking forward for today morning to listen to Dr.Manmohan Singh on the occasion of Republic Day.
Jai Hind.

My Delhi times
I have been assigned to a new assignment for which i needed to travel to New Delhi, Gurgaon to be specific. First i was excited and also anxious what could it turn out to. Anyways i thought to record this journey of my life, initially i thought of writing it for my own but later decided to blog it.
My flight was on 24-01-2010.I was supposed to travel to delhi one week before and i also had tickets in my hand. But those in IT industry are aware that there are always last minute surprises and my travel got posrponed for a week.Anyways, i came to airport one hour before the flight and after getting the boarding pass from a pretty kingfisher attendant i headed to terminal and met my colleague who was travelling with me.I had half an hour time and i started making calls to my friends and dear ones since my number will be on roaming once i leave karnataka. After some time we were requested to board the flight and we were welcomed by beautiful air hostesses of Kingfisher.After listening to important and boring instructions my flight took off and after browsing the available channels i sticked to a movie "Aa Dekhe Zara" and my journey became pleasant after having complementary snacks.
I was reading in news that because of fog in delhi several flights were delayed and some were even cancelled. Mine was no exception and my flight got delayed by 30 mins and my plane moved till panipat and returned to delhi. As the plane was moving to panipat i was trying to recall the history of panipat battles which are one of the most significant in Indian history.We finally landed and after watching the dull and silent planes in airport i boarded the bus which took us to the terminal. I checked in and picked my baggaged and exited the airport.
MindTree was kind enough to make all arrangements for me and my colleague. I was picked up by a cab driver who was waiting for me with the nameplate upon which my name was written. This was the first time that someone is waiting for me to pick up. Though this is a small thing but i will cherish this moment for atleast somedays.I reached my guesthouse and i was taken to my room.
The guest house where we were put up was Comfort Inn.My room was a nice one. It had a double cot, with a TV,small fridge, nice bathroom and sofas and table for your comfort.I switched on TV and watched 2 movies back to back. I walked outside to check out some hotels,shops etc. Since this location was near highway i couldn't find many hotels. There were some stalls of junk food here and there. The guesthouse had very good food service. I had some snacks in evening and a hefty dinner with tomato soup.
I am very tired and thought of sleeping,but i wanna record this journey of mine, so you are bearing me by this blog. i am looking forward for my first day in my new assignment tomorrow.
I will be writing very soon.
