As i had mentioned in my updates post, i was working in Mahindra City, Chengalpet for about 6 months starting from Jan till June 2008.
To describe in short about the place of work, well it is JUST 50 kilometres away from the Chennai city. Three modes of commute is possible as far as i know and they are:
1) By bike - if you really want to get retire soon citing back pain reasons - go ahead with this option.
2) Company bus - if you dont mind losing your morning sleep, sitting like tamarind sack (literal translation of puzhli mootai in tamil) in jam packed company bus, dont mind spending much for travel expense and last but not the least having enough patience to bear with the traffic during return journey - go ahead with this option.
3) Metro train - if you want to enjoy the early morning fresh air, least commute time and cheaper fare for travel - go ahead with this option.
As you might have guessed i chose option 3. I would really love to post the pros and cons of each and every transport mode but i think that will take one full post. So i think i will place these "travel"pros and cons in my forthcoming postings about my mcity experiences.
Having said about the mode of commute to the office, i should mention something about the campus. The campus is huge with some buildings under construction but neverthless it cannot be compared to the mysore master piece building. As i have already seen such huge buildings i was not awestruck at this.
Enough the intro of work place. If you are really interested in knowing about this work place then we will take it offline (this is the most commonly used business phrase when something which is not of significant importance will be discussed among the participants at later time - and i am sure in most of the cases they wont discuss :) )
Now i will just spell out the names of my friends (and their frequently used phrase) who are the very reason for me to write this post.
Rakka
- Basically i am an introvert.
- SOORAKADI (Heights of frustration - Meaning of this tamil word SOORAKADI). Actually this phrase is copy righted by Rama - note the third bullet in rama section.
- He he he he
- Pottu kadala, Nela kadala, Ver kadala..... (Though i can give you the english equivalent it will be meaningless for you at the moment. I will post what this really means when i say more about this character)
- What is there in that tu (This sentence can be interprted for "n" number of context in "n" number of meaning. Thats where Maanik. "tu" is some kind of prefix he attaches after every word in sentence. That tu is due to the region of origin problem :) )
- Kambam illama kodi eradhunga..(Without pole the flag will not be hoisted - Again no meaning for the moment, but will come to know shortly).

- Ping as many networks as possible.
He is considered to be as both role model and model for many people in my company. Hope now you are curious to see him but in reality it is not that easy though. Just to give you an idea how he looks you can watch this video.
