Back In

A few months ago i thought that i had finally managed to break free. But, by looks of things though, as long as you remain in the organization you can never break free.

Update for the peoples, me is in Cheen, as in Hindi - Cheeni bhai bhai. Been here for a few months now. Any of you planning to end up in this part of the world (I have no idea why you would be) learn some Mandarin. Then give me a shout out. You can then help me understand what the hell people are saying to me.

Don't get me wrong, the people are generally helpful, just there is this very large language barrier. You want to get something across to a local and you start thinking that you should have been mime. Get into the taxi and you feel that you've become a traffic policeman. One of these days they going to arrest me for flailing me arms in a dangerous manner. Wait, this aint the US.

So anyway, onwards we go.

Back to base

Been back in Bangalore (or is that Bengaluru) for the past two weeks. One year and the bloody town goes and changes on you. For one the traffic jams are now bearable. Hosur Road no longer is the hell hole where for every 100m of motion you would wait 10 min stationary. Flyovers that were being constructed forever got finished. Even new flyovers havent effected the traffic (that much). And the BMTC has introduce brillaint AC buses.

The day to day food around has improved. Atleast I haven't found coconut in everything. The north indian dishes are passably north indian.

But somethings don't change. Work is a pain in the everything. Bangaloreans are as laid back as ever. The city centre still has the greenery about.

Back. Lets see how things go
