I slept soo good last night, but I woke up a little early. After waking up, I watched a little TV and relaxed. I got up around 7am to get ready for work. Today is the first day at work here at Bangalore India. I didn’t know what to expect. After getting ready, my co-worker and I had breakfast before heading out. On the way to work, I saw the true India traffic. It was very packed and as usual, everyone was still driving like bats out of hell. Of course, that’s when traffic permits driving. There was nothing too unusual this morning that I didn’t see yesterday. Finally, after about 1 to 1.5 hours of driving in traffic, we arrived to work. This building actually is a new building and all the engineers and staff were just moved in about a week or two ago. The building was a little small but it was actually really nice. It seems like everyone had the latest and greatest when it came to the computer monitors, etc…

After work, we headed to Commercial. It was a placed called Krishna’s something, I can’t remember. It supposes to be one of the best places in town to shop for jewelry. I was looking for something for my mom for mother’s day. At this time, I was too tired to have patience to look for something nice. So I left and I will try again tomorrow. After that, I headed back to the room because I was REALLY tired. So I slept for about 4 hours. After waking from my beautiful sleep, I went to this very nice Vietnamese restaurant in the hotel area. Now I’m back at my room ready to go to sleep to be back at work tomorrow.

One thing I came to my mind today: Although India is very heavily dense and highly populated, there was no negative energy amongst the people. Although everyone was busy heading to his or her destination, I didn’t see no bickering or arguing. Everyone seem to be so “happy go lucky.” That was amazing to me. In the states where it is heavily populated and dense, you hear a lot of cussing, you see a lot of people arguing, and you can feel the negative energy.

    Thanks…

    Oh… Yes, I did get my mom a gift. I bought her a gold bracelet from Krishnaiah Chetty, on Commercial. I think that is the name of the store.
