It was really hard for me to part with my friend in Mysore but sooner or later we had to do that. So i reached Hyderabad, got a room in the hostel and was all set for the new training.

Previously,

Chapter 1 : MyDC

Booom….disaster strikes. On the very first day we (the new batch) landed in Hyd DC, a fire broke out in one of the server rooms. Many development projects were critically affected by it. So they had to transfer all the folks in that floor to our training labs, which means no training for us. It was quite a deserving break for us. After the rigorous grilling for 6 months in Mysore, a month of no work/training  is not a bad idea. I even took all the leaves i accumulated in Mysore and used it to go to home and thats when i flew in a plane for the first time :mrgreen:

That day morning i called up my parents, told that everything’s going as usual, had food; no class; in room; watching tv. Bought tickets from travel desk after breakfast; Post lunch left the DC to airport; Took flight in the evening; Reached Cochin in 1.5 hours and finally reached home at 7:30PM or so. My parents where so dumbstruck thinking whats happening, didnt we talk to this guy in the morning and he was in Hyd at that time, how the hell is he here now :roll: ? Lols.

Anyways lets go back to Hyd. The training was delivered in B12 (Building 12) and guess where we were staying? On the 5th floor of the same building, how cool that can be :lol:? Ground floor consists of training labs and rest 4 floors were for guests; 1st floor for VIPs,2nd and 3rd floor for ladies,4th and 5th for guys. All this means, i didnt had to wake up before 8:30 to attend our class at 9. In that 30 minutes, i did all my morning chores, went to FC and had breakfast and then came to class on time.

Classes in Hyd was really a joke. None of us knew what the topic was, nobody had proper access to the actual servers where a fully functional product is running. So we were kind of beating around the bush with some PPTs all the day. Exams were conducted in such a lazy way that, if you didnt copy, then thats a crime.

Hyd DC as such is nothing compared to MyDC, so am not gonna describe anything about that.

Night life in Hyd city is comparatively better compared to Mysore. The best thing or the best experience i would take away from Hyd is the “IMAX experience”. I was lucky enough to watch Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince in IMAX. Wow what a hall, no words to describe it. Its the largest hall i have ever watched in and the sound experience there is undescribable. Right now i just wish that i was in Hyd when Avatar was released (Dear Readers, i drafted this post last year, hence the releasing time of Avatar is “right now”, kindly excuse).

Other than the usual outings to malls and few spots i didnt have much of an experience in Hyd. Soon the training was over and so once again it was time for me to get posted (ho finally). Folks were tensed on knowing their posting location and people were running here and there almost loosing all their nuts, and me? I dont know, for some reason i was very relaxed and was watching TV in my room. May be i just didnt care where i was getting posted to. Finally the postings came and i was posted to Chennai.

I had an option to opt for Pune DC which at that time was more attractive (partly because of Chennai’s weather and because Pune seemed to offer a better career path). But i chose to stay in Chennai as i can be with my family as and when they need me, after all am here all because of them only. This decision turned out to be good later (that part of the story will be unraveled in Chapter 3), which yet again proved to me the validity of my working principle of life.

Everything happens for good and a reason

So next stop Chennai…(continued)
