The Coimbatore Meet !

Had a very normal day today... had the coimbatore 'meet' of XLRI2005-07 today.. I guess... the way the delhi people went about it.... a very nice place... met her face to face for the first time... .. had some pleasant conversation.... met her parents too ... both working .. integrating security systems ..

had a little trouble finding her place though. her directions were right. i sumhow, read them wrong, i guess. to validate my stance anybody living in saibaba colony for 22 yrs.. would have done the same thing. its one of those things, where everyone says the right things, but still ends up wrong.

saw a "beware of dogs" sign on the gate.. looked out for the dog.. didnt find any... took the bold first step in.. expecting the dog to leap out of the bushes there... the place remained quite though

approached the door.. saw the first signs of security systems there.. searched for the bell.... it was a small box which also had a video cam.... she opened the door... felt at ease immediately...had trivial conversation for some time... realised that she struggled with her mother tongue too....

met her dad at the end of the 'meet'.. got a detailed description of the route taken by the bokaro.... thankful for that... there were some people waiting to see him.. so made a quick courteous exit... we decided to wind up the 'meet' there....

went to college in the afternoon. while my batchmates pondered over the program, i sat idling away at the comp, taking up precious bandwidth. otherwise achieving very little. finished up a favour for the rep... 2 sadas at famous and i was on my way home.....

tried going through some investment brochures....Hmm...wasnt in the right mood for that.. gave up on it... will do some study tmw... and hopefully this blog will continue....
