well, have reached the elusive mumbai at last. elusive coz i almost thought that i would never make it home considering that i was working until 11:15 a.m. on the 29th. that when my train was at11:45 a.m. the journey was eventful with Vijay constantly editing our sentences and Priti sparign no efforts to sell me off. luckily i made sure i was awake all the time that she was so that no deal was struck. Shivani alias Babushka, alias OgoMogo was the star of the journey with all the passengers taking their turns to have a glimpse of this exotic creation from Kazhiranga, thanks to vijay's description of her being a rare mix of Russian and Assamese origins. Patnaik was upto her antics again by mistaking a fellow traveller who was doc for a scientist. on the way, our trian was also held for an hour up coz a traveller slapped a TC. Patanaik obviously egged on the passenger to hit him some more. finally we reached mumbai and Vijay being the alarmist got the baggage near the door about an hour in advance.

the next day patnaik and i went to CNBC to show our faces and get recognised so that we arent pushed to some corner of the office. discovered a lot of new places on the way to work place. Bicycle Corporation of India (wonder what they do) and the CITU ( is it a calling?? or just an overdose of Krishna Ananth??) workplace was in shambles. apparently they have a severe infrastructure problem. went to NDTV to check out prospects there as well. we were made to stand outside their glass door. we looked like those urchins who stick their noses on the glass and stare at the goings on inside in awe. not much luck there either. they have finished recruiting for a year. Yay for ACJ!! so bascially i think i will have to head for the employment exchage after my convocation and internship.

by the way i hate my new house. its too big for me to comprehend. and too upmarket too. i can't cope with the culture shock. coz converstaion range only from "have u checked out those new hipsters?" to " shit, man, i have to get a facial done."
