Of freeways and diet cokes
A software engineer life's never complete without an onsite trip....Its like an universal mantra...Many people crave to be at onsite for various reasons ranging from Money to adult channels.
I never was really desperate for onsite but my friends kept on pressing me to ask my Manager abt that...For that reason and to make my presence felt i walked upto my Manager and had a lil talk. I didnt quite take that talk seriously but guess what my manager did....I was asked to get ready to fly and fly i did after some confusions..
I sort of expected some miracle to happen when i come to US...But after comin here I'm feeling very much like being at Chennai....That can be attributed to the fact that the place where i live is flocked by our guys and the climate now is scorchingly hot...there are certain things that stands out though like the roads, cleanliness and the courtesy stuff that people here show...Itz like ppl smile at u when u r taking a walk down the road... everythin is damn organised and neat...All said n done this place is also on mother earth...People talk as though they have jus arrived at Vaikuntam...oh thats Heaven in hindu terminology....
The one thing i hate the most is people here comparing everything with the related equivalent in India...Like sayin this would have taken a long time in India...people there are so rude....the traffic theres is so unorganised...this n that...dude if u like this place so much jus keep it 2 u...dont go on bringin India in the picture for each n every damn thing n demean it....If people like u come n settle here whoz there to set things rite...Everyone wants to be in a clean contiguous but no one's is ready to clean up the mess.....dont forget u r here coz of India and no matter what u've become in ur life ur sweetest and most cherished days will be the days u had spent in India....
I was talkin with my friend about this(hez bn here for more than 2 yrs) and only thing he said was people change...I really hope I dont...No matter how much this place offers me I would really like to b back at the bosom of my motherland...The warmth that provides is more than anythin else....Know wat guys this blog itself will bolster me doin this...If someday i find myself changing I would prob read this post of mine and hit the back of my head with a little smile...

Hi Ram,
Tat was a nice one from u. I feel the same but in a different continent. I do find my frends complaining about India. But I strongly go with your comments. It is we who have to lend a hand and not run away to far off blissful place...This has been my first visit to ur blog. do visit mine too when u r done.
