The adaptation of Pk

Part I going nowhere:

2 full weeks into the job and 2 full weeks in Pune.
If losing a job was difficult, fitting into a new job is harder.
Following is a small chronology of events since landing in
Pune -

26th Feb 2006 -

08:00 am
In the bus from Nagpur. Its suchi's b'day, gotta call her up. Note to self - "call suchi after landing in Pune"
09:00 am
Pune it is. Gotta catch a rick to Hadapsar, a place called 'Pandrah (15) number'. Strange. Note to self - "find out why?". Asked the rick driver. Ups the rate by 50 %. Caught on a back foot, trapped.
Note to self - "don't ever ask a rick driver an address if you don't wanna be taken for a ride. that didn't come out right"

10:00 am
Finally arrive at Pushpendra's hostel, looks kinda erie, the warden/owner/c-grade-horror-flick-actor looks suspiciously at me and my baggage. Am leaving in a couple of hours.

11:00 am
Called up Modi's cousin for a flat. Meeting arranged at 11:30, ganga village.
Caught a rick again, did not ask for the address. Note to self - "enquire the pedestrians about the address pedestrian"

11:45 am
Ganga village is not village, its a township.

12:30 pm - 04:30 pm
Visited 3 flats, each worse than other. Puneites have a very concept of "amenities". Note to self - "look elsewhere. anywhere."

05:00 pm
back in the hostel. lets rest a li'l

05:30 pm
another flat.

06:30 -08:00 pm
No place to go. Get a lodge.
Visited two excuses of a lodge. Third time lucky, this one has a bar. Done.

09:00 pm
End of story. Tomorrow is a long day. Joining IBM.
