Its been sometime since i have written here... I wont deny the fact that writing in my diary seems more comfortable to me but i felt i should write on my blog now..
Things have changed by and large since last time.. I finished my So called MBA from a so called MIT college in Pune ..Market was at an all time low and getting a descent job for some1 like me was a bit out of question. Things were starting to get a bit tense at home too. But i did manage to get into a MNC ; BNY-Mellon in pune itself.
And i was in for a huge surprise the first month i joined. Being my first ever job , and getting it in a difficult environment meant my expectations were low. But in a week i came to know that i was getting a chance to travel to Ireland for some Training..I was over the moon. It was a dream to live abroad and travel(it may sound childish ; but true) and i was fulfilling part of it. and after a few week into the job 8 of us left for Republic Of Ireland . We had to switch flights at Amsterdam and from there we flew straight to Cork , our home for 6 weeks. 6 weeks might sound a small time to some but for me it was fine. i had great plans to meet locals, live the local way or as some would say "slow Travel" .But i had to work too and work i did other that anything else..
My first ever Flight was ...... ; I dont remember much coz i got drunk on flight and slept off..although i remember the Air hostess whom i thought i had seen somewhere.lolz
As soon as we landed in cork and stepped out of the Plane ,i felt a cool breeze on my face.Weather was crispy. It rains all year in Ireland. But we were in for a summer treat thats what we thought.. and it still rained almost every Alternate day.But i didnt mind it much .Irish were nice people , I had made a few Friends n the office as well but i still hadn't got a chance to go out to party the Irish way as i would say. Everyone in office was friendly but thoroughly professional.. It did bug me a little but i kept telling me that's the way things work in professional setup.
In our group of 8 people we had 3 gals and 5 guys.. But when it came to Boozing only 3 of us were IN. It was a time to bond with friends , colleagues who had traveled with me from India.Few of us had traveled before.. But i will talk about the individuals some other time.
We traveled a bit on weekends specially on Saturdays and worked hard on weekdays.
So we had this Cabs arranged for conveyance from office to hotel. The cab drivers were nice people mostly. i made friends with a few of them - Joseph , Marc , Derek ..These were the only Irish people i went drinking with until my last day in cork. I had quite an adventure whenever i went out with any of them.. It was a bit difficult to trust any1 completely but i thought i safe and took a chance. I had most of the fun i had in cork here..I will definately write about my Escapades in cork sometime..
So on 5 th of sept we came back.. Sunday early morning ...Started going to office from Monday onwards and since things things have not changed at all.. Go to office around 9 am come back around 10 pm..Read something and doze Off..Life has become a set Routine..Friday nights are Blurry and saturdays go Hanging Over. Sundays are for Pending tasks for the week..But meanwhile Interesting things keep happening every now and then.. I have a wonderful set of friends who keep things lively and there is EPL on the weekends..Girls are a whole new story in my life and cupid still eludes although i have dedicated my Email to him.. and rest is just LIFE...........
