wow... thats the one word i can say about this trip. Its really fantastic to be with our best friends, that too after a very long time, on some special place and most importantly on a very special time. Yes, I visited Bangalore and Mysore Infy with Anandakumar on the last weekend. And that sunday happened to be Daffney's birthday.
As usual I've posted some photos here and the rest you can see on my flickr page.
and about the trip... its very very nice and unforgettable one. I met Shine Babu(Bangalore Infy) Vimal kumar(after a very long time) and Daffney(Mysore Infy, Birthday baby).
Bangalore... the IT capital of India, not impressed me very much by its infrastructure, TRAFFIC to be specific. OOOOh... it tore us apart, even though that was a saturday. But once after we arrive at Infy campus, thats a different ball game altogether. Its really great to be there. I was just taken aback to see the amount of care given on maintaining such environment. Its really awesome. I don't think there will be any other IT company's campus in India could match Infy's. Hats off to N.R. Narayana Murthy. We had a great time there for almost 2 hours roaming everywhere, having lots of fun. and in the evening we went to FORUM, the shopping mall. Comparing with Spencer's... of course its smaller but i should say i enjoyed the crowd( :-) ) most. Very much current on fashion. We purchased some shirts and I bought "The success Principles" by Jack canfield recommended by Satheesh to me. Actually I bought two copies. One for me. I yet to start reading that book( I will do satheesh...) and other for Daffney.
And in Mysore, we were bit tired, with the Bangalore trip, that reflected a bit on us. Daffney took us to Infy campus. And the same story continued there also. With Shine babu transformed as a cameraman with handy cam, we had a real nice time there for 3 hours. Mysore is much better than Bangalore, for IT I think. It's having a great weather, and peaceful environment. But we felt a bit hotter weather on sunday.
mmm... thats it. It was a great experience to be with Shine, Daffney and Vimal. Hope we all will meet again sooner.

I think that that is why the rise of bangalore is even more impressive than silicon valley. Banglaore rose from nothing.
@Razib Ahmed: Its true, i have to accept that too. They have really worked hard to reach this height. And One of the main reason behind this could be, the availabliry of the amount of English speaking skilled Software Engineers in India.
@Renjith: Alliyaa.. great to see you commenting on my blog. Vimal said about the Infy campus in TVM. I will come to tvm for sure. I have to meet you people(Thumesh, Felix, Manish,...).
