Still a quitter

For Prajakt's satisfaction, I hereby ascertain explicitly that I am still a quitter :-)
And news from the Google joining front is that I would be traveling to Mountain View late January if the VISA gods bless me favourably. Most of my time nowadays is spent reading through piles and piles of documentation which is great since I am learning a lot of new and really interesting stuff..I won't be able to reveal about what though :-) but you can take reasonable guesses! Life is pretty cool here..there's a pick up and drop service and there's breakfast, lunch and Subway sandwiches in the evening..and lots of snacks and drinks for the intermediate times not covered by the above three :-) That's all for now..more updates later..

From the inside

I joined Google yesterday. From the inside the first impression is "AWESOME"!!! The place is lively , the colors are bright and the people are great...and ya the food and drink stuff has been keeping me quite busy :-) Of course its a small world nowadays..so I ran into a team member who has worked at Webaroo and another one who comes from Trilogy and was talking about a tool that Megha had worked on in SQATech..I think the days to come will be quite exciting.

You and I, in this beautiful world..

The Hutch campaign with the pug following the kid is back on air. Its a nice ad, little boy, cute dog, nice jingle but the truth is that the "our network follows" claim is utter bullshit. I think it is so very bullshit because in my office on Airport road right in the heart of Bangalore city where all other networks follow you without explicitly saying so, people with Hutch connections have plenty to cry about! And its not as if we are in a deep cave of something..shame on you Hutch..your network symbolizing omnipresent wrinkly toy doggy just cannot get past the access control in our office..
Update: And of course here is some trivia about the dog.
