I have been in Bangalore for 6 months now, and Lots of water of water has flown through Cauvery, (some of which went to Tamilnadu ;-) Had EEDP Goa trip recently. A course has been a bumpy ride so far. We are now counting days for it to finish. Meanwhile got a new project, this one definitely more interesting than the previous, causing my blues to fade a bit. Changed lab from AMT to EPST. Yup, thats about it.

Bangalore

So there, I am here at GE , and here in Bangalore. Words like six sigma, master black belts, patents, disclosures are floating in the air and I am typing this sitting in my cubicle, having nothing else to do (till my project gets defined, at least :-) Bangalore is the city of gardens, pubs, mains and crosses, and (sob..) brokers. We had some tough time in playing politics with them and the landlords ! Otherwise all is cool. Went to trek to Makalidurga on last Saturday with a nature club natureadmire , and also to the Shiva temple (with a skyhigh statue of Shiva, as opposed to Linga observed at other places). At company met a lot of IITians (JB, who took my ragging, jimmy, nikhil, suvrat, shodhan et al). People here are really very highly qualified. nearly 70% with global exposure. But this being my first brush with corporate life, I haven't yet settled. Indeed, everytime I hear about siggy, minitab, fishbone, EMS and zee scores, I break into a sweat..

Tadoba

Came from tadoba sometime back. I hope I will write the report soon. Had great 10 days, and saw tigers,chitals (this is same as spotted dears :-),sambars,sloth bears,crocs, barking dears,flying squirrel (I spotted this),langoors,wild boars and a lot others. Sat 18 hours on machan on 25'th May, full moon night from 2pm to 8am. Narrowly escaped a sloth bear attack. Saw infinite birds, and got to learn their names, too. Met some really good people, and also witnessed some EP clashes. Basically loved the whole of it. Nari has scanned and uploaded quite a few photos . We also met Manohar Sapre an amazing old man who in 10 minutes talked to us about his life and philosophy, and sounded very genuine. He has recommended a bunch of books. After reaching Bangalore, will buy them w/f after first salary!! Well, I have a job now, and will be joining on 1'st. (hopefully) But before that, I have a BTP to complete.
I am left alone with a few others in wing. Really looking forward to go to tadoba sactuary on 21'st. Seriously, I am going to miss all this, once out of IIT, maddu mess, CC, and whole lot of friends! Yes, since my login will soon be khatched, have moved my same old rusty homepage here .
