In this blog I’m gonna write my experiences being at Kolkata. I landed at Kolkata on 9th of September 2007. I waited for 10 more minutes after the checking was over and got into CEO’s car ; the place where I was supposed to work as a Systems Administrator.
The moment I put my feet on the ground I felt these people are chaotic upto the core. But it is very different from the Bangalore. To give you a brief comparison about Bangalore and Cal;
Bangalorians undergo lot of pressure daily at every point of time. No matter whether they are at work or at school; Be it whatever they are at they will be undergoing pressure at least in one or another way.
I dont know whether the rain will be coming in Cal for the whole year; but it is raining like hell since I landed on Cal till now.
People go swimming in the dirty muddy rainy water; hehe…You figured..Yes, there is a water logging.
September is a month of water-logging although it comes under the category of rainy season for Cal people.
I wish I would’ve brought a Swim-suit so that I can go underwater. Jokes apart, there was a lot of rain and some of the rain water got inside completely into my newly brought woodlands shoes. There were absolutely no transport was running. I went by walk and I was immersed atleast half ( water was upto my knee level; slightly more than knee level, probably. I’m 6 foot tall).
What’s worse I forgot to close the windows at the place where I reside and there was water all over the room. I reside in PG in the first floor.
There was water..water everywhere. Felt like I’ve come here to a distant island with different culture of people and seems like writing a song on the water…But got afraid that that watery song will not get water. LOL…!!
