First Day at Work

June 10th- Today is my First day of work in Chennai. I am going to be starting off what I intended to be doing because of my exisistance here. I get up to the song " Maa Da Ladla" which was my alarm. I take a look outside its 7 am but its nice and bright. Without wasting time I dash off to brush my teeth and then to read the newspaper in my grandfather's room. I read the news. All negative negative negative.

Nonetheless pretty soon I am done with the newspaper and my creamy coffee and after a shower I have my English breakfast of bread and egg. After breakfast there still is some time left so I just browse through the television not really watching anything. Its 9 30 when I have to leave for work in my uncle s Silver Toyota Innova

The torrid city has no effect on us as we re enjoying some lovely religious music in the car with the AC on in full swing...

We arrived at Medavakkam, my uncle s work place at 11 am and then my uncle s instructions took over. He said

" Just observe what the people are doing and try to learn as much as you can"

Then as I take my first step into the office I see all new faces around me. But that doesnt deter me as I know I can make lots of friends here. I am introduced to the staff by my cousin brother Chandeep who also works there as an Administrator. I start off with stopping at the managers workstation. The manager Mr Anand is a wonderful guy and always willing to help. He explains to me about his role as the manager. The one to control the office and just one step below my uncle The MD himself. I spend time understanding Mr Anands role in the process until lunch and then have a sumptious lunch.

Since it is my first day I get the choice of food and order my favourite Chicken Fried Rice with Garlic Chicken. After lunch, my uncle and I head back home. The first day comes to an end.

After I reach home I have a shower yet again as you have to shower twice to beat the Chennai heat. I get online to write my blog and simultaneously check out my facebook page.

Dinner of Dal and Roti follows and I watch some TV till 11 and then call it a day.
