Having completed my MBA from MUM-BHAI, finally joined Satyam on the 22^nd June 2007 with sky high aspirations and abundant expectations. Hyderabad was a city out of my dreams, vast green expanses, the cosmic blue lakes, roads right out of a romantic movie (I stayed near Banjara/Hi-tech so know only those awesome roads, no comments about roads in old city or other ones). The cities teeny weeny skyline (as compared to Mumbai shahar) but yet the cosmopolitan aura mesmerized me to echelons of my personal expectations.

Just as we were getting adjusted to the new city (we boleto me and my Buddy – Bunny is his name, being funny is his game/ Will have one separate post just for him – guess those who saw him doing a mimicry act in the KPMS party don’t need any introductions). Yea so as WE were just getting acquainted with the Tollywood City, we were told to pack our bora-bistarsand start operating out of the Chennai office. With initial inhibitions, and a lot of fear-provoking, scary and bloodcurdling information about MACHA LAND (thts wat I call Madras,, oooopps Chennai) .. [For the uninitiated, before reading further, plzz get acquainted with the synonymous tag words allotted to different places/things/peopleJ]

So here we are in MACHA Land, back with sky high aspirations and abundant expectations.,

- will the city adopt us in its non Cosmo culture?

- or will it gulp us down and turn us into Lungi clad baniyan flaunting tarred “Machas” (these are the exact words used by my critique friends who described the place to me)

- will our scary inhibitions be turned into reality?

Watch out this space for an adventurous ride through Macha City with Jai and Viru (Though me and bunny haven’t quite decided on who is jai and who’s viru)….

Cheripagna for now ( I guess thts BYE in Tamil)
