Moving Towards Comfort...

Change... I felt it the last whole week.... looking at flats which were not even worth 50% of the more then 6K per month rent being asked for... Being in Autos which charge more then 40 bucks for a 4 km ride... in shoes that were with me the long kilometers I walked... and daily queue for food in the office food court ( not cafeteria any more)... and thinking if it is worth it at all or not... I left my home, I left my car, I left my people behind to this place where I am struggling... the feeling was bad... and it felt worse, when I used to sleep with a lot of pain in the legs...

But then look at the brighter side, I am learning... I am becoming a better person... I can understand more then before... and the change would be noted soon... and here are the goods in the new company that I have joined...

• I wear Ties on the first two days of the week... and do I look good? I guess I do... :) Priyanka got me a couple of Ties before I came here, and I was an idiot to leave them at home... so had to manage with borrowed ties last week.. but today and tomorrow and all the coming Mondays and Tuesdays would be different... its a different feeling to be dressed up nice and sharp... I need to work on my body to carry this attire better...

• People here are responsible for their cups... so there are no housekeeping guys who would wash your cups for you... you use them, YOU wash them... and keep them with you... so no paper cups either...

• There are loads of umbrellas available at all the gates, to save you from rain or sun... you can carry them from one place to the other, and then keep them back at the designated area....

• 100% of the desktops have a 17" LCD screen... some Dell, some HP... Excellent viewing comfort... oh, and when I am at my base location, I would be using a desktop as well... I have been with a lappie for about 2.5 years now, thanks to IBM, however this is changing now... I guess its for good only...

• Excellent guest house, almost 5 star accommodation... one of the best beds I have slept on ever...

• A great sunset from my office window... here in Chandigarh, you can see the sun till very late unlike other places... so I almost everyday, see him setting over the horizon...

• The best building !!!!! I have not entered a better workplace ever before... SEXY...

• Ultra quick and supportive helpdesk... most of the things/information/knowledge is in place... making it easier to everyone around...

• A state of the art Gym in the campus... SEXY again...

• Extremely windy area... and I can see the hills as soon as I get out of the office... good view...

• And finally, a flat with a small balcony, and I can see my office from there... about 1.2 kms by road...

Life is changing... and I do not mind it !!!
