Training Days!

Jabir moved into the hotel on Monday morning and we rushed to the vnue for our two day training programme in Suntech City. Much to my track record, I managed to reach on time.

The day before had been lethargic and mostly at home, chatting and cooking (I did all the cooking and Chisy with Jabir did all the chatting!). In the evening, we went to the East coast Park and loads of pictures are witness of the lethargy in our eyes. Rahul and Vishal had also joined in so Beer was a necessity and one game of pool was pretty needed. We decided to call it a day pretty early and went back home.

I was trying to send some work related mails out and Jabir was chatting with Santosh. From conversations to Hitler and we were sitting in the living room and watching some documentary on Hitler. By the time we were done wih the documentary and went to bed, Chisy walked into the house and that led us to further conversations and an absolute lack of sleep.

I must add here that the best part about Jabir's stay was that I never needed to make tea in the mornings. Thanks dude. You are missed even more because of that.

Coming back to the training programme. Our faces were sleepy and we were hopnig the session does not put us to sleep. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it alot. It was fun and made some friends. The session ended pretty early on the first day and we went to Jabir's Hotel. I was really tired and dozed off for about half hour till I couldd see Jabir getting exasperated.

Next thing, we are at our favourite hang out in Clarke Quay and went to Hooters. Pelase do not go by the reputation it holds in other parts of the world since it should actually be rechristened Quota Hooters! Another session of Hee Haw and drinking and then went to Crazy Elelphant. Jabir seemed to like this place quite alot and insisted on going there time and again. Couldd not find any stewardess worth the attraction so I believed he likes the ambience.

The next day of training was as much fun but I had to rush back to office after the session to prepare for a meeting the next morning. Jabir till then was to leave the next evening. He meets Sunita at office and plans change in minutes. So, he is staying back for the rest of the week. Was I happy? of course, after a long time I was having an all boys extravaganza and who would ever want this to end.

Once at office I was stuck with various things to complete and Jabir was getting irritable by the minute but trying to keep his calm and insisting on leaving soon.

The lack of sleep in all these days was at an all time high so we did not do much except grabbing a few beers at BrewWorks (finally I get the name right!!!!) and long conversations on our job. By the time I got back home it was past midnight (nothing unusual) and slept late yet again. I was to fetch Jabir from the Hotel the next morning but like always woke up late and could barely manage to reach office just about 15 minutes late.

Three days are up and the more interesting last few days of Jabir's visit will be another piece of writing. If the story has caught your attention, keep checking for the next posting.
