LAFH@TVM PART 2

well it continues . Older wiser stronger . Older because climbing stairs is becoming an increasingly labourous task . Wiser because i have stopped going back by regular bus and eating near the campus itself where things like subway dominoes and baskin robbin exist . And stronger because after being pissed for so many days i realised my problem and have since moved on . Friends . Friends who care to be specific . That is what is missing . I see pre defined groups all around me and felt left out . So my anger was misdirected towards other things . Well anyway atleast i realised it . And now i have started to live each day seperately instead of counting down how many days to go . Slowly i'm realising how to start living properly again . I now know "it takes time" isn't a particularly comforting thought when theres no end in sight . But having patience and trusting life works a lot better . For me anyway . Well i guess thats about it for now . LAFH@TVM continues...

LAFH @ TVM

Life away from home @ trivandrum . Well its been more than a week here and things are sort of settling down . The first day here was humid and sunny . The food on the plane ride over was a precursor to the kind of food options here . Extremely limited . Finding the accomodation wasn't too hard and setting up involved a signature and 3rd floor it is (which was hard cos i had to carry all the stuff) . Then the sheer bouts of shyness that i come down with occasionaly were supressed and i introduced myself to the guy next door . Then came my roommate who nicely turned out to be from bms so that was nice . Then we both talked about bangalore since we both had never been AFH . It was easy to get along and went looking for food . We found a "restaurant" which barely has more than 7 people at a time , even now . then first nights sleep led to a unknown morning of waiting for bus and first day of tcs . Thankfully roommate was in the same situation so had company for the day . Tcs induction was a pain in the ass cos they asked for all the possible and i think 95% had something wrong in there documents which was ridiculous things like the positioning of the signature . Bus travel is 20 min so thats not too bad but finding a bus is akin to begging each driver to take us and its very hard even know to get a bus . Dinner is usually 500 metres away and the waiter knows us by sight now . The place is overpriced like anythin when compared to the quality of food . They dont believe in the concept of fresh food . A masala dosa and a juice cost 80 which was astonishing to say the least . Then meeting people from bms makes things a little better . Each day would contain little smile and a lot of frustration from the room to the way we are treated despite their various ppt's about equality and ethics . I get a 100 examples of unfair and downright negligence behaviour each day . And add to all this whenever talks of pay comes all calculations lead to the same i.e we will spend more than earnt . Every other day someone or the other leaves training because of unhappiness . Office food is bland and i treat it more as a chore or survival necessity . Only my parents advice and consoling have kept me here . Well anyway as tcs continuously says u have to adjust which makes me wonder how much is possible before trouble raises its head . Anywho lets see how things go forward been just over a week . Lets hope it gets better . p.s anyone who says this is a city should be punched in the mouth real hard
