Lot has happened over the last 2 months. I had officially became an Alumnus of TISS. In fact its exactly 1 month i joined in my job and 15 days in Baroda ( i know its called Vadodara, but there is still a charm in saying it Baroda)
As a day job i manufacture quality bulbs and tube lights at affordable prices ( Actually i don't , but did shahjahan ever built taj mahal on his own?? :P)
I remember watching a telugu movie some time back, where the hero after a lot of drama announces the dawn of a new don by letting out a huge shout " Ab gangu ban gaya gangu bhai " ( to be echoed atleast 2-3 times). Thankfully i dont have to strain my vocal cords . One naturally becomes a Bhai as and when they enter gujarat. so now i am officially called Anvesh Bhai . In fact for most people here Bhai is incorporated as part of their name
Going a few days back to my induction days in CG, we (2 of the 3 who joined in HR function) were seriously hoping to get our posting in Goa but then its announced that i would be working with "Baroda Lighting Works" which is located some 40 Kms outside the city of Baroda. Info on Wiki says that it is one of the safest city in India and people are quite friendly and 15 days here i can corroborate for both the facts except for the discrimination shown towards non vegetarians .
The first condition you find in house hunting is that u can neither cook nor bring non veg home . ( yes, there is KFC in Baroda and by looks it seems to be the most profitable in India :P ). Ofcourse there are good no. of restaurents all over baroda .People here are quite outgoing and one can see all restaurents and shopping malls occpied all the time with families . There is one night market with eataries from which i came back a few minutes back and there are families with kids who are still coming there at 1 AM
Girls are damn good lucking in baroda ( Dare to call Gujarat a dry state ;) and almost every one here understands Hindi which makes life quite easy to live by ( not for those who had to bear with my kichdi of Hindi and English
will write more about the city and work as days pass by .........:)
