The Dilemma of Dressing Up

Well, you'd have one too if you go to office daily in a uniform and suddenly you are supposed to go to work NOT in a uniform but in regular clothes. That too for ten days straight. You're in big trouble. You have no idea what is the usual dress style at work these days. You cannot decide on what to wear from the few normal clothes you have tucked away in some corner of the wardrobe. And sometimes you have no idea where that corner of the wardrobe is.

Life on the 16th floor was one such period. Ten days of work away from office. Well, at least its over for me now. But now the same dilemma haunts my roomie. Its his turn now on the 16h floor, and he's as confused as me. All I can say to him is "Suit Up".

Life on the 16th floor

So i have been outta the office for about a week now. NO, I am not AWOL. I am on an official CAD software training, and the training location is the slick corporate office of the company that provides the software to my company. Now this office happens to be on the 16th floor of one of those newfangled Gurgaon buildings, and oh my, its a sight to behold looking out from the windows of the training room.

Here are a few of the pics i took minutes after reaching that place (thank you camera phone :D). The parked cars and bikes, the road a hundred meters away, and the flat expanse of Gurgaon and Delhi in the distance. It looks AWESOME. Click on the images to see full sized versions.




PS. This is also the 50th post in my blog. Glad that I could bring it to this milestone. Gotta try and make it go a much longer distance.

Changing Lanes

Sometime, going along the unmetalled highway of life, you stick to a lane, following something elusive so intently that you sort of miss out on what else is there around you.

Maybe you realize what has been happening, and suddenly you are jerked out of your trance. Or, it takes a friend to put you back on track. But sooner or later, it happens. You change lanes on the highway. With the hope that you don't fall back into the trance anymore.
