Vizag Times : Beach I

Kailashgiri View Point

At the Far End is Rushikonda, where my engineering college GITAM is situated. This road along the coastline was what we used to run along for 4 years. The road has been widened and it looks awesome. They have set up a rope way to Kailashgiri hill top. All of a sudden some how vizag looks much cleaner and beautiful to me. But the only thing that disgusts me is the illegitimate use and core dump of polythene covers.


RamaKrishna Beach

The Tsunami (on account of the earthquake around Sumatra region) had the positive effect along vizag coast. It has widened the shrinking beaches of vizag. Now the sea looks much calm than I ever noticed. At the far end in the above snap is the Dolphin Nose which happens to be the entry point to the inner harbor. Vizag seems to be reallying developing into a wonderful tourist destination. Had I stayed a week longer I would have made it to all the places around and captured the breathtaking views of vizag.

India times

At last here I am. A place where I can reinstate that WorkDone is zero.It was 1st week of March and nothing seemed working for me as I was at the onset of a new project. All I could meditate is of a vacation before I get dirty in couple of months. Some XYZ god/godess came to my rescue and I was on vacation to India for 2 weeks. There are a zillion things that transpired which itch me to blog right off, but I will hold those for a warm spring afternoon and will pop one by one out of my stack.
Here goes the first.
Anand who is my colleague out here was travelling back from Bangalore to Tokyo via Thai airlines on 26th March 2005. In the flight from Bangalore to Bangkok he was greeted by the passenger sitting next to him.
LADY : "What is ur destination ?"
Anand : "Japan!!".
LADY : "Oh I am also travelling to Japan. What for are you going to Japan ?"
Anand :"I am working in Japan. I have come to India on Vacation, now travelling back...."and then Anand goes on giving an account of his work etc at length. to the Japanese Lady.
Anand : "So how come you are in India ?"
LADY : "I am working in India.In Infosys."
Anand : "Oh!!"
LADY : "I am going on vacation to Japan."
Anand : "Oh..!!!...Oh..!!"
LADY : "I am a programmer, there are 10 more Japanese working out there, and my boss happens to be an Indian."
(To which anand nodded to himself : I work with my Indian colleagues out there and my boss a Japanese..!!)
Anand : "Oh..!! how come in India? There are lots of opportunities in Japan right ?"
LADY : "Well Global companies are in India not in Japan!!"
