Snippet#3
By Sid
What a week!!!!
It's getting crazy at work now that I have shifted to my new house and spend close to two hours commuting on Bangalore's crazy roads. The training has also got that much more tough with mini projects everyday because of which I have not been able to update this page. But here's what happened last week.
- I slept in six different beds for six nights in a row. Well on one of those nights, I slept on the floor, so its actually 5 different beds. But yeah I was a vagabond and it was fun. Skipping from Service apartment to Friends house to Hotel room to something I am not going to disclose.(it's a little too embarrassing!).I even turned up for work in the same clothes for the last three days cos I wasn't carrying around a change.(I don't know how the others put up with me).
- I have been writing way too much code. So much so that I have started putting a ";" after every sentence I write. I have had to go back and delete the semi-colons in this post.
- I finally found a very nice apartment. 3 BHK(Bedroom,hall,Kitchen) which is fully furnished and at a very very affordable rent. The place is a little far-flung but once I get my own bike, it's going to be pretty easy to commute.
- The house is very dirty. Me and my fellow roomies have not been able to find a maid to clean it. We are too lazy to do the same. We also have not been able to get a broadband connection. So this Snippet business continues.
- I am looking at all the bikes zooming past me on the streets trying to judge which is best. I have started doing the rounds of bike dealers looking for the best deals and trying to understand all the jargon like pickup, torque, mileage and what-not. For those of you who are not aware, I am a complete rookie in this area. I have never driven a bike, and so don't know much about them. If any of you have any comments or suggestions about which is the best and why, they are most welcome.
- I spent last weekend walking up and down M.G.Road after visiting a Gaming Expo which didn't live up to my expectations. There seems to be a dearth of things to do in B'lore over the weekend. I don't mean loafing around the malls, watching movies(which are very highly priced by the way!). I also don't drink or smoke so the huge number of pubs mean nothing to me. So anyone out there who's got some fun activity, I am all game.

yup was downright fishy at least for that week. I was the happiest person when we finally found that appt.
Decide on the bike asap, so we can also use it :D and What was the embarrassing bit?
btw, who is the dopee u ppl keep discussing ?
Now that we have broadband, plz end the snippets and get back to usual posts.
yeah even I want it in the open. Who is this dopee guy?
@divya: First of all Welcome! It's always gud to have some new vistors.
With reference to the bus numbers, I know the numbers, for e.g. mine is 314. But my route seems to have a lot of extensions- sometimes 314B goes to my place and sumtimes it doesn't. It's hard to figure out unless I ask the conductor or someone on the bus.
Yeah even I feel that the English language signages are not going to come soon.
@kaddy: Okay I have stayed in Mumbai but at least the buses have the destinations written in English close to the back door. Yes the numbers are written in Marathi or Hindi which takes me hours to figure out. Safer option, just ask the people on the bus, it works faster.
@bhavna
Yeah the problem is I don't enjoy even rock tat much. But yeah the atmosphere is Purple Haze was pretty amazing.
Entry was free on Fri nites and so whilemy frends drunk and made merry I tried my hand(or shall I say head) at headbanging!
Something to say?
