Its been long since I wrote something here. Almost an year.
Life has changed a lot in this time frame.
There were lot of Wonderful First time experiences in this one year
First time i got into a Project after two months(August,Sept) on bench @ office.Life on bench is really frustrating and kind of humiliation
First time into Project after Long life on Bench!!
As soon as I got into a project ,me and few of our team members were sent to "IBM Germany Research Labs" as an official trip for training and what a wonderfull experience was it for freshers like me. Many memorable things to cherish !!!
This was First time i had flying experience.
I had never ever had seen a flight from such a close by distance and was very excited to be inside an aeroplane. Within few mins i was in the flight, i explored all the buttons/controls near by me and ,learnt to handle touch TV infront of me :-). Luckily i had got a window seat in my First flight and i enjoyed each and every moment in side the flight . The view outside window as the flight passed the oceans,Mountains,Great cities etc were mind blowing for a First timer!!.
Some awesome sights on way to Paris from Bangalore
The 12 hr journey went like 12 seconds of morning dream and we landed in PARIS. My body took some time to adapt to outside temperature (which was around 3 or 4 deg C, First time i experienced such a cold temperature) From PARIS we had 1 more flight to Stuttgart. We had missed the orginal flight due to shutdown for few mins at PARIS airport and had to catch another local flight to Stuttgart. I can never forget this flight in my life because this was First time i ate something non veg!!! A burger was served inside which there was some non veg stuff (beef!! thats what my Friends had said me later) and i came to know about this non veg stuff inside burger only after i had digested it. So unknowingly i became a non veggie inside a foreign flight !!
We stayed there in Germany for about a month
Hotel where we survived with Bread & Jam
RIETH was hotel name. The first day when we were registering inside Hotel, there i noticed a beautiful German girl at reception . I still remember her cute Smile. She is definitely few of best beautiful girls i have seen. She was daughter of the Hotel owner.
We use have Break fast in this Hotel where we had to pay 10 euros i.e around 600 INR. These were few of the costliest Break fasts i had!!! We used to Cook Maggie at the Hotel for dinner.
There were lot of other good memories to cherish like Late night films in hotel,Early morning walks in 0 degree cold air,Visit to Bobliengen Lake that had a dolphin statue, The Castle trip with colleagues,Dinner at Manfred's home,Mercedes Museum Trip to France in car,Drive on Huge International highways @ 190 kmph,Photography Museum at strasburg,Pizzas at dabbas,Trip to Austria... etc
