Weekend special

It's been almost 1 month since I landed in Pune for my job at Infosys.
So I decided to do something special, but unfortunetely couldn't find anything that can amuse me. So my friend and I decided to explore the local nearby market of Pimpli Saudagar. But please don't laugh at the name :P

We walk for 10 min to reach there. Because of this ever lasting long walk, rats were playing wrestling in our stomach. So we first stop a joint Burger King, there we ordered 2 min noodles Maggi and by the way which took nearly 20 min to get cooked.
After a long wait, we got our Maggi but to no surprise it was pathetic keeping in mind that we ordered a Maggi in a Burger joint. But with no disappointment and full of optimism we move forward looking for another joint to eat.

After taking a few steps we found a shop selling the famous Momos(dumpling). So we ordered a plate of that. They served momos with 3 types of chatneys one spicy, one tomato and other green. To my amuse people there, were eating there dumplings with spoon like they were eating some sort of halwa. I look everywhere and found none that was like me eating with their hands instead of spoons.
In my opinion there are something when eaten with hands tastes better.

Then we move forward with our journey of eating and stumble upon a joint named Balaji. It was so crowed in there that we couldn't go inside to look for the menu.
But looking at the crowd it definetely felt a food paradise to me. So we just had kulfi from a vender in front of that joint and then we head back to our place.

It was a very nice experience for me exploring different options in a new city.
And I hope to do more next time.

Infosys Training

It's been almost 5 months since I had started working for Infosys Limited, India's 2nd largest private IT firm. Out of these 5 months, 4 months I had undergone training at the famous Infosys Mysore campus, specially designed to train new recruits like me under different technologies.

4 months in Mysore campus is like a 4 month vacation with all the best possible facilities that you can imagine. But that's not the best part, the best part is, this whole training cum vacation is fully paid.
Ya, this means for using their world class infrastructure we got money as well.

Here is the pic of mind blowing GEC2 building of Mysore campus specially build for training purposes.



In my next blog I will share some more photos of Mysore campus and tell you little bit more about this place.
