Yet another visit courtesy Samsung. This was an aberrant one though. Absolutely out of blue. But still ...
So morning 5:50 am .. I ( of all the lazy people in the world ) actually got ready in nick of time to be couriered to the Airport. My parents were so proud of me to see me get up and get ready so early in the morning ;) . I myself can't trace the last time i did this :-D. However, more fun was awaiting. The radio cab wala simply didn't return to my calls and no one was in sight for my pick up:(. TENSION Tension Tension. After wasting some time at society's gate ( well, not exactly wasting, i got to know the name of the watchman of our society ) i decided that enough of waiting business. I picked up my BMW ( :-D ) and hurried to the airport. I applied all my mathematis calculation skills to frantically calculate my intended average speed so as to reach airport on time !! .. Precise calculation coupled with schumacher style driving made me land at airport just in time ( Phew !! )
AirIndia doesn't show many changes since the last time i travel-led ( around 5 yrs back i guess ) with it. Celotaped edges, aircraft engine making noise such that even deaf people can hear it humming, aunties asking with a smile " would you like tea or coffee ?" .. everything is still the same :p ..
Cut to Noida:
The first thing i felt on landing in Noida was the extreme heat. I should suggest my company to use Noida for the temparature controlled testing. 37 degree at 10 am is a total No No !! ..Even AC vehicle was falling short to give any respite. .. Bad Bad weather .. Note to self: Never ever do a domestic travel without a weather check. Be atleast mentally prepared.
Food:
What is it with samsung office food and me ? Be it Korea or here, Samsung office food totally sucks. I was told that food is better than the one served during my short visit. I think i should let samsung know that am now on dieting and i don't eat much :P, so they should continue serving good food we me around :p.
This was a very short trip (thank god ), where i had to come back the same day. The initial 4 hours were spent so lazily that i could have defeated a snail in a race. But the last 1 hour compensated for the whole day !! .. Samsung employees finally got a glimse of speed of light by the way i was moving around to get things done !! . ..
Is that a airplane in the office ? ... or a bird in the office ? .. No No its Rahul !! , who just walked by to another workspace :-D ( the thoughts of employees around :p )
Anyways, the cherry on the cake for this trip ( and also my fav dialogue after a long time ) is the statement made by the taxi driver once we entered Noida from Delhi : Uttar Pradesh ke log utle hote hai - frustrated driver on watching a bus parked in the centre of the road which led to traffic :P
Reached home in one piece. An eventful day comes to end :)
