ThoughtfulChaos

Friday. My favourite day of the week. Because the weekend is here. However at least this weekend I will be working for at least one day and probably both days. I am not complaining though because I will be reading stuff most of the time and working on a presentation due for next week.

I have been having a very interesting week till now. Interesting. Hectic. Confusing. Challenging.

We (my boss, a colleague and me) interacted with a group of Dutch students who had come to India on a study tour. Most of them were computer science students and a couple of them were Mathematics students. They were accompanied by two of their senior professors. My boss gave a presentation on Security, more specifically on some of the areas we are focussing on right now. Initially I found it a bit difficult to understand their accent but after a few minutes it was OK. We had a lavish dry lunch.

Another quick update. Have been having too many short and quick updates recently but have got lot of work to do so am short of time. Am still to acquire a local mobile number.

What do I write? My stay has been reasonably pleasant till now but not overly so. Have been having lots of small small problems everyday but nothing serious. Am still living at the company guest house and commuting from Noida to office takes a lot of time everyday. Luckily a friend Rajiv has been giving me a lift every single day till now but otherwise it is difficult to come to office from guest house. Will hopefully move into my own accommodation this weekend.

I am still looking for accommodation. Plan of action right now is to shift temporarily into a PG for a month or so and meanwhile continue scouting for other more suitable accommodation. PG is actually a misnomer because here slightly sophisticated hostels are called PGs.

Today was my first real day at work. I have been assigned lots of work to be completed within a short span of time and I sure am going to be busy for the next couple of weeks. There are lot of new things to be learnt and lots of new things to be implemented.

I will have to work on different OSes (Windows and UNIX mostly), deal with code in various languages and frameworks and from various domains. In simple English that means poor me will have to work abandon Linux and work with Windows and .NET. No problem. I am looking at all this as a challenge. It has been almost 2 years since I worked on Windows and I have never ever worked with .NET before… for that matter I have never worked with J2EE too and very soon I will have to in both.

This is just a quick post so no details just the raw facts.

The goods news I had blogged about some time back is now reality. Good news is that I have moved to a new group (in the same company) and this group works in the field of Application Security... something that interests me. Bad news is that I have had to move to New Delhi to work in this group.
