At work...

Things are quite different at work here than in my first work place.
There... Lunch was a colourful affair. A guaranteed minimum of four. The usuals being Arch,Preeths,Div & Abi and sometimes J and soemtimes the two gundans. No topic was left untouched. No lunch ever ended without a friendly banter.
Here.. most of the days I go to lunch alone, somehow I am very much comfortable being alone, left alone to my thoughts and my own world. I call Nephy who would refuse to talk to me on most days and my mom who never refuses, always welcome. Live live moms!!

There.. I don't smile at people I don't know...
Here, I do.

There... before I reach my desk, I would have said Hi to atleast a minimum of 5 or more friends(not just colleagues)
Here... I go to my desk quietly , an occasional nod here and there.

There.. 'How are you? ' is the start of a friendly chat
Here... 'How are you?' and there is this fellow who always answers it with 'Very Busy'. Tell me, you are fine, just great, bad, pretty bad, sad or anything. Why 'very busy'... I've made a note to myself not to ask that fellow, how he is. But nonetheless, he keeps asking me how am I and I end up asking how he is and yeah... I hear the 'very busy'. People!! (Put your hands in the air.. roll your eyes a little and give that 'Whatever' look, for my benefit)

There.. My team size was from one to about 10 and my manager was most of the times sitting on top of our heads. It wasn't just the manager, even the onsite fellows took the liberty of using our heads for desks.
Here... My team size is a modest 3 and the manager lives in London. Nope, no sitting on my head at all.
(I definitely have to mutter counter-jinxes here for all those of you with the kolli-kannu)

There.. team mates were friends.
Here... thankfully, my teammates are very nice chaps. Kinda helpful and quite the techies that they are, but without the attitude. Makes my workplace a lot better.
(Again... am muttering counter-jinxes. No worries, no one knows of my blog's existence, so am allowed to say all that I want to)

Fine... gotta catch up with work.
There... They spell out deadlines and what a race it used to be to the line..
Here.. I spell my deadlines...
