new job..time lapse memory lapse

well im not gonna explain that title too much..anyways im working at Wipro Technologies now... honestly i am having a lot of fun...have a great team that i work with..still getting hang of the new job..slowly but decently well...within the first week of being here i had to fly to Ghaziabad (never heard of the place till i actually went there). Well this place is about an hour and half from Delhi. We were told to reach Delhi by 5 in the evening coz the college cabs would be waiting for us. A bunch of technical panelists and of course not-so-technical me...we were at the airport waiting for the program manager...well delhi off late has been known for all flights being delayed, both incoming and outgoing flights...smart that i am i told the technical panelists to leave...myself, another HR guy say Mr N were waiting in the airport...well waited is almost an understatement...lets say i lived there from 5 in the evening till 9 in the night...finally..oh so finally my colleague landed...with the little energy left..i dragged my luggage...was freezin outside..no college cabs..so took an airport cab..luckily we had one of the college guys accompanying us...welll not so lucky though coz he was a bit of a dud head,,. the airport cab dropped us off at a place called Anand Vihar...me was thinking it was jus a bus station..turns out it was a FREAKING DISPUTE area..damn..nice place i want myself at 11.30 in the night..turns out the college cab was on its way to pick us up from this place..and well it was coming for a very long time.. FINALLY we got picked up at 11.45 after standing on the platform for a good 45 mins...with drunken auto drivers asking if we wanted a lift...thieves running away and police chasin..(no kidding).. when we reached the hotel it was almost 1...realised i hadnt eaten dinner..luckily the hotel had some rice and dhal makhni...god bless them..at that time hot water wud have been a meal...all done i crashed with faint images of kabhi alvida na kehna...(was watching a bit of it on TV) running through my head..the next day the campus event went good..few arguments here and there..not that i personally cared as long as i shuddup and did my work...which i obviously did..finished my interviews close to 10 and selected the future prospects of my company..announced results..had dinner and went back to the hotel thru the fog,...crashed again...morning awoke early and left for the airport.. traffic jam...hating it...wish i cud just crawl into bed...wasnt quite happenin...reached the airport finally...flight delayed by 20 mins...reached home...changed and ran to office...was chatting with my colleague..and she was asking how the event..and all i cud say was it went well...and then....i cudnt remember which day of the week it was :(..well my colleague smirked and said WELCOME...hah yea rite :)
