I hate Process !

I never used to be so formal in wearing my dresses. But i am forced to comply coz i have to go to a "customer site". The daily routine of polishing my shoes, wearing a tye, making sure your shirt and trousers are wrinke free makes me wonder wat am here for.

And I have to mention about my Project Co-ordinator here who is from IBM (actually the project is sub-contracted to us by IBM). Let me tell you she is making our lives miserable. The amount of crap work we are doing is more than the amount of project work we do. She wants us to prepare the following,

1. Sessions callender ( which details all the sessions we have with the users)
2. Minutes of the meeting ( i never knew meeting minutes will be scrutinized so much)
3. Weekly status report
4. Issue tracker list
5. Open items list

let me stop here, coz the list is so big..

Imagine we almost took a day to prepare a weekly status report (wat a waste of time!). My point here is i have lot of other important work to complete the project. Instead of doing that this lady is expecting me to do other stuffs ( in my opinion not so important things).

From that picture, you can realize that Thailand ppl can eat anything that is red/black/brown in color when cooked.

I had never been superstitious in my life, but let me tell you "13" is not that lukcy.

Swad e crub ! Swad e ka !

Bangkok is a place known for its hospitality. I realised that from the way I was treated here. It has been a good experience so far. I thought food might be a problem, but to my surprise, no issues at all.

Sitting in a meeting for an hour without understanding a word was quite an experience. I did not understand anything was contrinuted by the fact that the meeting was in Thai. After 15 minutes, i thought what the heck i am doing here and just went off for my lunch. I had a hard time explaining the taxi driver that i need to go to a nearby shoppingmall so that i can find some veggie stuff.

You must be wondering what the heading of the blog meant. It is just a greeing to say Hi in Thai. Swathikrub used to greet gentlemen and swathika for ladies.

Atlast i finished reading "Da vinci code". It was a interesting book with lot of facts, but the ending could have been better. I also read "five point someone", thanks to skely and dada. The book was too gripping and can u imagine, i finished the book 4 working days.

Bangkok Invites

It has been long since i blogged. I dont think i would be blogging so frequently as i used to, but will surely chip in when ever i find interest and time.

I will be leaving Bangkok tomorrow for a project which might last for 2 months or more. Being a vegetarian food is going to be a big issue. Hoping to learn a few Thai words there.
