My Banglore Trip - Day 1
It was now my turn to walkin into Banglore office to train our new fellows in our new office. I was secheduled for a week training from 1st Feb to 06th Feb. Though it was my second visit to bangalore but it will first time i will see bangalore properlly. My flight was secheduled to arrive at 7:30 AM but landed at 8:00 AM. This happened due to unwanted 'Time Pass" in Air as our flight was in 5th position in the list of Flights which were about to land.
1st Feb 2010
Anyway I reached Office directly from Airport insted of Hotel. After travelling for 1 hr 30 mins in Traffic I had to run to office directly as I was running out of time as per my sechedlued Training Plan. I had a Grand Welcome by Andrew (My Project Director) in New office, even he was just week old in this new office. We walked into his cabin and started having discussion about Teams status.
We found that there is lot of hard work which needs to be done to build up our team. Let me tell you we started working right from the moment we came out of that meeting. I knew what needs to be done and I jumped into my work...
After a day's work, around 11:00 PM we decided to Hotel. We were lucky that Dining hall was not closed but was about to close, we were last "Lucky" cutomer whom they servered dinner. We had Dinner and decided to have a Beer. We then moved to Bar counter and we again turned out be "Lucky" last customer. We have to order 2-2 mugs of Beer and move our self out of Bar and sit in Open garden lawn. It was very chilled outside.. I was shiverring like anything and on to that i was having Chilled Beer. I know i am Crazy sometimes but i love to be like this... this what I am...
Fianlly by 1:00 AM we finished our beer with some "Corporate Discussion", Andrew had very importent call to attend.. he had to call his Family and Infact I also had very very very import work to complete... that is Sleeping. I came back to my room, called up Alarm Service in Hotel and asked to wake me up at 8:00 AM in Morning.
By the way it was my first experience in 5/3 Star hotel, My room was good, it had big LCD TV, Soft Bed, Flurocent Lights on Walls.
On all, I liked the room and was good to stay for a week.

2nd Day of Working...
2nd Feb 2010
Morning 8:00 I woke up with wake up call by a lady's sweet voice. Well what a way to start a day... Called up Andrew... he was like asking Why did i called him so early in morning... I told him that we thought of meeting today by 9:00 in lobby for breakfast. He remembered and thanked for the wake call :) at 9:05 Am we met in lobby and had breakfast to gather till 9:45 AM with day's things to do. I had to checkout from the hotel as my company had booked another hotel called Royal Orchid Suits near Whitefield. we directly left to Office my language for my second day of work. We started our day with short discussion, deciding what to do today. I started working on my day's work, around 11:00 AM my Boss Sateesh landed into Office from Hyderabad to make this process more better as few things were not clear...... at around 11:00 PM we (Me & Sateesh) called end of the day and left to hotel. My room number was 904 and Sateesh got Room Number 704....
Sateesh called me to his room after freshup, he had some reports to be prepared and needed me with him to complete it. We were starving like anything.... and our bad luck by the time we reached hotel restaurant was closed. We met in Sateesh room and ordered Sandwiches....yaaakkkkk......... but no other go... we ordered through In-Room dinning Service.. he told us that this will take 30 mins..... I was about faint when i heard that..... this was not good and I started sneaking into Mini Fridge in Sateesh room and the only thing I found was Pint of Beer of Carlsberg..... I quickly grabed and opened without any delay. After discussion of 30 mins finally Hotel buy landed up with our Bread piece....... though it was sandwich... Yaaakkkkk....... we had to eat to keep our stomach quite...... around 12:30 or 1:00 AM i left for my room and slept.

3rd Day of Working...
3rd feb 2010
Me and Sateesh met in lobby for breakfast at 9:00 AM and started to office at 9:30 AM after finining Breakfast. by 10:20 AM we reached after 45 Mins of "swimming" in Bangalore Trafic. The drive from Hotel to Office is around 8-10 KM which generally takes 10 Mins only.... but due to trafic we reached in 50 Mins. I could say that No wonder "Why Glaciers are melting with such a speed..".
Anyway we started our day with our "Things to do Today" and ended our day at 12:30 AM. We ordered our Sandwich while we were starting from office so that by the time we reach hotel he can get our bread to our room and we can jump on it..... :). We reached hotel and freshed up and met in Sateesh room. By the time walked into Sateesh room, our Sandwich was already on table. I picked up my sandwich and came to my room, opened up a Beer and started Enjoying my Mid-Night Meals with Beer. Soon after it I called it end of the day on my bed.
