When i got to know that i will be spending a month in orissa, i had decided that weekends will not be spent in the guest house, but travelling. I wanted to visit all the tourist destinations here before i am done with the plant stint. Unfortunately the plant works six day weeks, so the only free day is sunday.

This sunday, vinit and i visited the nandankanan zoo. The zoo boasts of the largest population of white tigers in the country, and also a lion and white tiger safari. The zoo is great but maintenance could have been a lot better. Will write a guide to Puri, Konark, Paradeep and Nandankanan when i get a decent net connection, and do not have to type on my phone. Photos of these places also need to be uploaded.

The safari is overrated, and the tigers and lions are usually asleep at "pre designated" locations even is early as 10am. The temperature levels make most animals prefer the shade of their enclosures to roaming out in the open.

Personally i prefered the hyderabad zoo, where sameer and i incidently got to feed the tigers. Something i will never forget. :-)

Got my first salary from the new job. It feels great to receive a nice cheque. :-)

retail therapy time? Perhaps when i return to delhi. Any recommendations?

Work as usual, tickets to return to gurgaon are nearly done, and i should be there on use 15th. As gurgaon is my reporting office, i will need to make arrangements 4 my accomodation, so if any one knows a pg or place available for rent for a month, please contact me.

Reading, winning by jack welch. Nice read. :-)recommended to all who work, or lead teams etc.

Listening to an assortment of The Who, the dorrs, metallica and pink floyd. :-)

watching season four of house. Fantastic.

Done with all the five seasons of the black adder.seasons one to four are Rowan Atkinson's best. By far. Relived the good old days when i used to watch this on star plus. 1992 i think it was.

A good net connection should see me upload a bunch of pics to my web album.
