April 28th 2014

Mango man diaries, ah it's been long that I had penned down anything. Well, may be life wasn't that happening or may be I was waiting for this change to come my way.

Yes, a change has arrived though not anything which was unexpected. The writing was quite clear and the walls were painted in bold and italics that the time has come to make the move. However, I didn't imagine the change will actually alter the path of my life in such a way.

Two weeks ago I said "Adios" to Hyderabad -
the city of nawabs, the city of charminar, the city of biryaani, the city that gave new wings to my dreams, the city that gave me the ability to realize my existing dreams, the city that gave me friends, the city that gave me 'life'. A city rich of experiences which one cannot have anywhere else in this world.

Today, I am here saying "Aloha" to a city which I hope will provide me some great experiences as well. Welcome to Pune, the city of peshwas, the city of saras bagh, the city of Dagdu sheth Ganapati, the city of Osho, the city which was once an epitome of marathi culuture.

And the journey begins ;)

9 pm and my work day is just starting but honestly I don't have anything to do. This is my first day(or better first night) at my new office.

10 pm waiting for my US counterpart.  I am supposed to work along with my onsite counterpart for couple of days to better understand the project I would be working upon. Seriously, staying up late in the night how am I going to understand anything.

10:30 pm my new email address created. Gosh!! one more identity on the web.

12 am mid of the night and mid of my work day. I am feeling sleepy.

1 am man!! I am already feeling sleepy and you want me to go over all that documentation. Let me go :(

2 am finally had a worthwhile discussion. Hahaha, that's what everyone here is assuming. I am fast asleep.

2:30 am Ok, I know what I am doing. I am dozing off. Even though every now and then I am replying you guys and I am also asking you questions that doesn't mean that I am awake at this hour of night. Believe me.
Let's have some watermelon.

3 am When will it be 4? How many more minutes before it will be 4 am, 60 more. Arrrgh. Ok 55 mins now, now just 45 minutes to 4 am, 30 minutes yayayay, 10 minutes start packing up.

4 am oh shit, its another hour to go.........no I am not playing this game anymore. I want to go :( :(

4:30 am. Say goodbye to onsite team. Talk to you guys tomorrow.

5 am Left for the day. How ironic for the first time in 8 years of my career I was actually leaving for the day.

Hope Pune brings in some better experiences than this ;)
