The Next 7 Days...

Work

Finally started work. StarCite is a relatively huge company overlooking the city. Expecting a small corner, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I have my own cubicle equivalent to that of the rest of the employees. Even more impressive was the work culture. Everyone was project driven rather that fixed office hours. People start working as early as 7 or as late as 12. Some start leaving from 3 while others at midnight. I made sure that I wear my birthday gift on the first day of work. Thanks ODAC dudes - the shirt was excellent.

Birthday

Dear God,

I thank you for people who are more concerned about my birthday than I do. People who bother to make my day even if they only knew me for lesser than 2 weeks. It's amazing to have 8 years suprise birthdays in a row, each time celebrated by different people and each year more spectacular than the previous.

To the NOCians - thanks. All the preparation despite the sea of work means much to me. You guys really caught me off guard while still drying my hair with the towel. May God bless you guys with an excellent and exciting year ahead.

Amen

The slice to start the year

Ice & speed

Winter - in all its majesty and splendour were truly displayed before us over the weekend. Perhaps the best orientation ever, we got more than just a skiing trip. Frosty lakes, wooden huts, snow-covered trees made up part of picturesque walk we took. The NOC people have their own definition of speed. During our walk, we travelled at a breathtaking speed of 500 photos per mile. Walking on the frozen lake was perhaps the highlight of my day.

Excuse me, is that ice you are standing on?
