i've now been working in knowledge management at infosys for a month. the view above is of building 11, from the balcony outside my office in building 12.

i have my own office, which i thought was really cool until i realized how isolating it is. it's also a bit frustrating as i haven't started on my project yet ... i've spent the past month learning about the km group and gave a presentation on it last week ... of course i spent most of my time emailing ... arranging meetings ... rescheduling meetings ... spending half an hour trying to connect on the phone ... hopefully soon i can begin on my project ... and hopefully it will be a bit more engaging than what i've been doing up till now. ... i've become a bit jealous of the marketing department. the whole department seems fun, they have a great office set-up (no individual rooms), and the projects interns work on are quite interesting.

yet i can't complain too much, of course. the hours are great. though i'm supposed to get in early, the fact that i have no real work allows me to take the last bus from my residence at adarsh gardens at 8.30 ... i get to work at 9.30 ... eat breakfast (khara bhat ... so good!) ... get to my office at 10 ... and then i take the first bus back at 5.25 ...

yesterday i slept in (recovering from the kerala trip), took a noon taxi to work, ate lunch, got to the office at 2 ... and hopped back in the taxi at 5 to the leela palace for a haircut. (haircut: great! head and shoulder massage included.) oh, and infy paid for the taxi of course :-)
