First Post from the Office

Posted on 21 Apr 2010 under Journal/Life Updates

The following was written on April 7. I couldn’t post it before because I had no access to the internet.

I have now been in Mumbai for about 4 days. I write this post from the office, on my second day of work. These initial days, I expect, are going to be a bit light and easy while I wait for everything to get set up (I’d post a few more details about what that means but I don’t know how much of Citi’s policies I can write about in the public domain, no matter how not confidential they logically seem).

It’s about 3:20 PM.

<interrupted by work…2 meetings and a short break later…>

It’s now about 5:10 PM. I like how I’ve written that I had “meetings”—sounds like I’m all hard-working and important. :D On a serious note, though, I’ve been given 3 projects to do this summer (which is not very common—people normally get one or two), and it looks like I’m going to be working pretty hard this summer, contrary to what seniors told me to expect.

So far, my summer internship experience has been quite interesting. And the post I had begun to write a couple hours ago has now disappeared from my head. Therefore, I’m going to have to end this post here.

PS: I do not have access to the internet, neither in the office nor at the hostel I’m putting up at. I’ll probably have to send this mail through a cyber-cafe. Very shortly, I plan to buy a USB internet device, which I’ll be able to use at the hostel as well as at work. Yeah, that’ll be a challenge…to ensure that I’m not wasting any time online despite having access to the internet. :D

  1. Your entry sounds a lot like Sidin Vadakut’s “Dork”. Hope to read more about your summer internship and maybe you can turn it into a factional novel too!

    :)

  2. @Anirban, that thought has crossed my mind. I’ll keep you updated.

  3. Actually that is a good idea. Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, says the best way to do it is to write and email sections in the office for later assembly. That way if your office hard drive is audited, HR and IT will find nothing.

    ;)

  4. It’s funny how I had actually wanted to do so many things here, but strangely have not been able to dedicate time to it!

  5. Again, I’m posted in Jai Jharkhand :( :(

  6. Again, congratulations :)
