Back to reality and life!

Bit long time gap between this and my previous blog...hmmmm...sometimes it so happens that you want to write/blog but you cannot do it...:-( Anyways, here is some of my updates from the last 10 days! :-) As my post title indicates, I am back to the reality and back with my life...in namma bengaluru :-) Flew back from Sydney on Sunday 26th April (supposed to be on 1st or 2nd may but some last minute changes forced us to travel earlier...our tickets were preponed and reconfirmation was available only on thursday evening!) Prior to our travel on Friday evening, we (with 5 of my colleagues who had travelled) went to watch a 3D film in the World's Largest 3D Screen!! This screen is in IMax, Darling Harbour - 10 minutes walk from where we had stayed. The show was about an underwater exploration for 45 minutes and narrated by Jim Carrey! It was a very nice experience and a awesome huge screen!! On Saturday, we planned and went to the most famous beach in Sydney called the Bondi Beach! Bondi is a suburb in Sydney and the water here is very pure and crystal clear and so the coastline. Making this beach more famous is the baywatch style rescue people and the topless sun-bathers :O) You can watch the 'Bondi Rescue' TV series that is shown in National Geographic channel, very often. Their is a bondi walk path that runs along the bondi beach, which is really enjoyable and so unique...This walk path connects to another beach nearby called the Tamarama beach, which is a suburb of Sydney. We all walked for nearly 45 minutes enjoying the spectacular view of the beach, the coastline and the horizon! Later, we traced back our path and then came back to our hotel by evening. Sydney underground metro had to be taken to reach to this beach from the CBD - Town Hall station. Back here, work is on full swing, where the design phase for which we went is being wrapped up and we now entering the build phase of the project. Another interesting but sad turn to our work is that we have now moved to our EC Campus and vacated our good old Al-Kareem facility :-( So, 1 hour in morning and 1 hour in evening commutation has started :-(( In one sense good, start early, come back early...and more than that, nothing is in our hand...whatever management says, need to obey them :-)
