This is my first post as an EARNING person :) Was supposed to get my salary today, but got it a day earlier. A really nice surprise :)
Another great news is the return of the Speed God! I wasn't expecting it at all, and after a tiring day at work I walked down to the cafeteria to grab some (boring) food, and I saw on the screen that HE'S BACK! :) My F1 following had radically come down since the past 2 years. It's gonna be different from now :)
Hail Michael Schumacher!

Happy happy happy :)
I'm a little too happy today. Got the news that Roger Federer and his wife Mirka had twin baby girls! :) I've been jumping around with happiness, not being able to tell anyone why I'm so happy! And here's the reason: a discussion has been going on for the past two years about a certain 'future plan', and now Roger has something that WE have always wanted :)
And I'm happy! :)
And I'm happy! :)

Café Nandini
Hyderabad is a weird city. It strives a little too hard to make you feel at home. And to tell you the truth it does succeed!
It was raining one day when 5 of us entered this small Udupi restaurant called Café Nandini. The guys were just looking for something to eat, and I was waiting around as usual. Just then I smelt an aroma that wasn’t really very familiar in Hyderabad, that of fresh filter coffee (any corporate person would agree with me on this ;)). On an impulse I ordered it, and that was the moment Hyderabad came a lot closer to being ‘home’:) That coffee was the best I’d had since I left from Mysore. That’s when I realized that this place certainly deserved a blog entry :) The coffee reminded me so much of how Ma used to make it for me and get it to my room, how I used to sit on my bed and drink it watching something on my PC, how I’d spilt some of it on my bed and cleaned it up in a hurry ;) (Mom still doesn’t know about the stain under the sheet since I assume the bedspread hasn’t been changed yet!)
We went back there yesterday for dinner, and another amazing thing happened. For the first time in many many years, I managed to finish a whole Channa Batura (they call it Chole Batura here) by myself! The big deal here is that I didn't 'waste' any food!
I’m sure a certain someone will be proud of me ;)

How's it going?
There I was sitting in the A block 'Vindhya' conference room with 12 others, almost all of us trying not to fall asleep :P Ravi Dasari (an amazing guy!) walked in and said he wanted to talk to us. He gives us some random information, and then says 'So Pavithra and Ajith, you guys will be working on a project starting in two weeks'! And then I woke up! This happened 12 days into training! I still dunno if I should be shocked(about being selected), happy(about being SELECTED :P) or incredibly sad(about the long training and working hours to follow).
Other than that last week was incredibly strenuous, running all over the city like dogs to look for a roof over our heads after having to move out of the guest house! I've moved into a nice place in Miyapur right now with Gunjan and Vini (Shilpa is gonna move in in the next two months), and things are going fine :)
This is what has been going on in my LIFE :)
And I can't wait to get home next weekend!

Deloitted!
Today's the fourth day of my life as a 'professional', and I guess I can say that I'm delighted to be in Deloitte! During my last year in college, I heard a lot of 'this is not how you can be at your workplace' or 'you dunno how hard it is to survive in the corporate world'. But just seeing the environment around here, it makes you feel that this is where you wanna belong!
I've interacted with a no. of seniors over here, and one particular person told me that she came here thinking that she'll work for about a year and then probably look for something 'closer to home' (kinda what I have in mind as well ;) ). But now she's been here for almost four years! The place kinda grows onto you :)
Right from the time I moved into the guest house, people have been extremely friendly. If this was the case at home, then I might've thought probably the person needed something from me. But here we need each other to survive! For me it's been particularly hard to find a roommate, someone whose wavelength of thinking matches mine. But I'm still positive and hoping I'll find a good one soon and move into a nice, new 'home' :)
Everything said and done, there's nothing that can beat the feeling of being 'home'! It's the place you're so used to that the thought of leaving it initially scares you! Only once you come out into the real world that you get to learn so many things that you wouldn't have even thought of otherwise.
Ultimately, you learn to SURVIVE :)
