Since I have relocated from Chennai, TML have provided me a flat in TELCO Colony for 10 days. I didn't use this facility for first 5 days, staying relax in my friend's room in city, thinking that I can get a flat in a day (or) two.
But it was a ........... (sorry i shouldn't use) getting a flat in Pune. First thing is that they use BHK term i.e., Bedroom Hall and Kitchen. Rent - 1 BHK is 4500-5500 and 2 BHK is 7000-10000. Also, brokerage is 1-2 months. Though company reimburses us the brokerage, it's too much to even hear this. W/o broker, you will not get any flat. Slowly, I had to take this, way of living in Pune. First saw one house, quite opposite, to Plant gate, calm area. Everything was done, Rent was 3000, Deposit 12000 brokerage 1 month w/o any paper work and 2 months for all the paper work and finally landlord said that he's willing to give the flat to maharastrian.
Next, Cool place same 3000, 20000 deposit, brokerage 1 month. Everything done, flat will be for family, said owner of the flat.
Here in Pune, dealing is with broker and finally we reach owner.
Today I had seen one flat for 5500 which will be amost finalised, deposit 20000 and brokerage 1 month. Should be fine with my future room mates too.
So if you're getting relocated to Pune, Plan and it's not that easy to get a flat in Pune as we do in Chennai.

First day in TML
Though I had 8 years of experience in Ashok Leyland, which was in Service, I was bit nervous on my first day (2 days after joining).
I was assigned to Engines group. I went to my boss (not Bachelor of Social Service, the real time boss). Where you wanted to work, Design or Development? Straightaway, the question was thrown to me.
My reply started, Actually......... Boss intervened, Ok, Design is where you will have to Analyse, do Pro-E, work on Catia, etc., and Development is like testing Engines for their performance, interfacing with vehicles, take test drive (Sillunu Oru Kadhal Surya was into my mind), etc.,
...............since I said actually before, I continued with, my profile matches with Development. the Big boss said(Boss's boss), Ok you be there for one week in our group and by that time you will finish all you joining formalities, settling in a flat, etc.,
I said ok, Now its over. I will be assigned to a Project in Passenger cars from tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I had an interaction with my boss (who was there in my Interview panel). Though you're from Service background, the onething impressed much was your performance in Graduation. Working from 9 to 5.30 and after reaching college, doing your studies and getting rewarded is something awesome. So you have the habit of reading books , knowing things and putting into action. (All these words were spelt out by my boss, nothing addition)
Please continue your worming into books and learn, learn and learn everytime. I said to myself, Ramesh it's now up to you to start a grand show in TML.

The Boss
I damn crazy about the movie Sivaji. I had enquired about the release of the movie during April 07 itself and had continuous interaction with Satyam for 1st date ticket.
Unfortunately I have been relocated to Pune on 11th June and the release of Sivaji was 15th. I thought I can make this as first movie watch in Pune. But the movie was scheduled to release on 22nd.
On 17th, we went to Gold ADLABS for 'F4' and the first movie record went to this.
Enquired all the theatres in Pune about the release of Sivaji. They said the booking starts from 20th Wednesday for Friday.
In E Square, they said that there will be a Premiere show on Thursday. I kept the record of watching it on the first day first show.

In Mumbai, the first
I came to know about this blog site thro' one of my in-laws, who inspired me in blogging.
Now straight to routines.....
I got the offer from TATA MOTORS Ltd -Engineering Research Centre, Pune and I had planned to reach Pune via Mumbai. That day I was bit tense since am leaving chennai. My parents and my brother had come to Airport to say bye. I saw tears in my parents' eyes and in my brother's too. I didn't feel that even I knew am leaving Chennai and my friends. But the last moment went deep in my heart and beeping inside aloud.
Checked in and was waiting to board. Made calls to all my friends and my voice went low after each call.
Arrived Mumbai remembering my friends' words 'Be careful with those Taxi walas waiting outside'. I had to go to CST Station to catch a train to Pune. I had enquired Pre paid taxi, they said 2 zeros after 7. Thank god! Saying to myself 'Now be careful in getting a taxi, outside'.
Came out, one taxi driver came to me and enquired I said only CST. He understood that I didn't know Hindi. He said 5 instead of 7. I said only 3, he replied in Hindi that CST is almost 45 kms (i knew it's only 20-22 kms), I walked off and he called back. Luggages were into their compartment at rear. He said pay now, I took 3 of 100 notes and gave him. Suddenly, he dropped off one note, said only 2 are there. I re-ensured with my wallet and 3 notes are off. I asked him to look down, you would have dropped. Then he realised that he can't cheat me anymore. Then took me to next cab, travel in this to CST. I agreed.
I was afraid that this new fellow would ask me again. I reconfirmed with him that I wouldn't pay anymore. He said OK. Then we started moving towards to CST, Mumbai.
This driver was good, started 'Mumbai is full of cheating' (spoke English little a bit), you would have paid 500, he added. No sir, I paid......... I made a full stop, should I say the truth, if i say 3 then only 3, good give me one more............ I said 4. Then he replied he has cheated you 150. It's actually 250. I was happy that I paid only 50 more. He said the names of all the places, I have son of your age, etc., I told him about my relocation. We reached CST. He said all the best, bye. Time : 14:00hrs
Then I was waiting for the train to Pune which would depart at 15:10. Had lunch, played Snakes and train arrived.
That was a 4 hrs journey. Got into the train, slept for a hour. Again into Snakes. Reached Pune and went to my friend's room in Sainikwadi.
