In and Out

The office is about 15-20miles from the hotel that I am staying in. It takes about 45minutes to get there in the morning. If we leave later than 8:30 it takes even longer. There are two routes we take. One is single lane road, some dirt roads, some bumpy roads. The other is a "highway" in which is paved because the commonwealth games are coming. Very similiar to what we do if a city in the US has the Olympic games. Once we finally get near "InfoTech Park" the road is packed. Everyone is on this road to go to those buildings on the hill for work. People are usually in cabs or mopeds/motorcycles. Backpacks full of food. The road is lined with huts of shops or torn down houses. School kids carrying plastic bags hitch rides to school. Once we get to the "hill" it splits to what they call Phase 1 or Phase 2. Phase 1 all of the buildings are complete and occupied. Phase 1's biggest occupant is InfoSys another IT Consulting Company. Phase 2's largest occupant currently is IBM.
Just outside the gate 100 feet away from the first level of security people are living in the side of the hill in grass or tin covered huts. There is triple security. One gate is where they cabs drop you off. This is the only smoking area allowed. There are about 10 security people. I can't figure out why. The gate is pretty busy, but 10 people? Then there is another gate. Once inside you go in the building and guess what??? Another area where you show your badge. I HAVE to find out what is going on in this building. Whatever it is, it is not on my floor. The elevator floors are -1(basement), 0(main floor), 1, 2..so on. You wouldn't believe how many times I hit 1 to go to the main floor. I am on the 4th. There is a gym that does medical screenings two hours a day. I need to go. I have lost 2Kgs since here, I can't complain I haven't seen 73 next to my weight in a minute. (Don't everyone run out to do the conversion). When you first go through the door on Floor 4 it smells of oils or incense. Not a bad smell. The office is usually dark. They conserve lights here, which makes perfect sense. AC is low. Today is was kind of high, which surprised me since it was cooler outside today. It is a normal cubicle style format. Around 10:45 everyone goes to the bathroom and then the break room to get the horrible coffee. Then at 12:30 everyone goes to the bathroom and then to the cafeteria on the "0" floor. They have lunch options (Indian) for 45-50 Rupees, basically $1USD. Crazy. It is a FULL lunch. And you can go back and get seconds. They eat with their hands. No napkins. Rice they eat with a spoon. When you turn in your tray there is a sink that everyone washes their hands. Around 3pm, the same bathroom/coffee thing happens. Today, I discovered at 4:30-5, people go downstairs and eat again. Different food, "snack" type of food. Some of them have a long bus ride to their house so I imagine they eat and then leave around 7pm. The WORST part of the office is the bathroom. It literally smells like hot shit. That is exactly what I mean. I am still trying to figure out how those Soldiers in Iraq that had waste duty (setting on fire and stirring) survived. I would have gone AWOL the first minute. The funny thing is, they put moth balls in the sink drains to disguise the odor. I want to scream that doesn't HELP. What is even crazier!! People stand in this bathroom and talk on the phone. WTF? I get in and OUT.
