View from the office

This is pictures from the fifth floor at the ABB office, shot down towards the junction which also leeds into the main gate into the garded area.





Not much traffic at this hour it seems otherwise it is really crowdied and noisy.

Dinner at ... JALSA

When bigshots come from Sweden for meetings in Bangalore, they always get out for dinner and sometimes it seems that we "the little people" as a Swede said can come along.


The whole gang


It's the right colors on the hat isn't !?!?
Blue and Yellow as the Swedish flag.
No god damn it, it is still a red shirt ... I think ;-)


No it is not real gold and gems just paint and small mirrors still it give a pretty shine to it.
This is how the Arabic conquerors build there special fine dining rooms(buildings) but with real gold and gems, I was told.

Whats wrong with this picture...

well nothing, except that the palms doesnt show on any outdoor pictures from Sweden.

Company buses

Buses for the personal.

Dominos pizza again ...

Yupp I ended up at Dominos again couldn't wait on hotel restaurant to open. I had too wait one and half hour so a quick walk to the local mall, widowshopping, food and I will probably a bottle of Indian Whiskey for later ;-)

Phoenix MarketCity

Yes it is cloudy otherwise I had not gone out, it get too hot in the sun, well it is the monsun period right now so clouds here are actually welcome by the people(farmers?). However I went once again to this MegaMall and were after some new shirts from GANT as my Swedish colleagues had recommended but I could not find any shirt that would fit my taste, meeh, no black onces ;-) I have been to alot of MegaMalls and most of them in Bangkok and this one is a really good one. I recommend it if ever come here. I should say I want some BIG brand shirt as now it is MONSUN SALE!!! Me like! Maybe another day.

Prison food?

Lunch place at the company serves vegetarian food only, it is ok most of the times, simple and cheap.
45 Rupies it's like 6 Swedish Krones but without any drinks, well you can get some water but as fellow colleagues don't drink it Im do not either. Still water is from 20 litres bottles so it should be safe drinking it. I usually bring a 50 cl water bottle from the hotel, which should be more.

Hattrick

Yes India wins!

India 3 - 0 Sweden

3 min after lunch it hit me ... RUUUUN TOOOO THE HIIIILLS( Gary Moore) or run to the toilett.
Yupp the Indian trikolore (flag) made it's point and gave me the trice of doing it in a row ...
I say no more, hopefully Im fine now.

Aaah let it all hang out, it is best doing it in the wild when no one is seeing you aaaaaah frrrt!!!

Dengue fever!?!

At dinner last night I merly sat down until a fly came by and bit me on the neck and this morning on the TV news they said another Indian had died in Bangalore due to Dengue fever so of course Im a little worried but the chance of getting it is almost zero but still 18 people have died.

http://www.deccanherald.com/content/11488/ipl-2012.html



Mosquitos carry Dengue yes and I was bitten by some kind of fly thingy ... uuaah!

"Cocks" for me ...

Kock is the Swedish word for Chef in the kitchen



Yepp tonight it were not many guest joining the "festival" as one of the staff said as I asked him, this for all the Asian people that actually is staying at the hotel, many chinease and ..., I have seen a couple of Japanese.
To much food and a complimentary Beer or Wine so I tasted a glas of Indian Wine, yupp very fine ... yes ... if any body have tasted like Castillo de Grekko or something, I don't remember the name, then you'll know ... 

KNOCK OUT!!!

... yes maybe, maybe not.
Chilled as it is right now, mmm ;-)

Chandni Chowk to ...

China ???



There is a "festival" again here in India for three days so the Hotel is preparing for tonights event by arranging stuff outside and also some new lamps have gone up in the celing.
Tomorrow evening I probably join and eat some oriental food which I actually really like. Now Im confortable with eating Indian food.

Picture quality update

I have changed the picture quality in my phone app which is Blogger to the maximum size ... maybe it will increase the quality of the blog as well.

Cheers!!!

Entry point ...

The big entry to the ABB complex in Bangalore, India.

KFC at Phoenix Marketcity

A quick walk to the Mall, looked around and around and around, yupp a really large place, found an Adidas store a bought a pair of "training" shoes, I will definetly go back. As it was lunchtime I had a chickenburger at KFC ... pretty ok.

Yesterday I got ...

... my share of beggers, nowdays Im pretty immune but in 2007 the first time I was here I said nevermore, I will never come back. Meeh, of course it is not nice too see but you cannot save them all so don't bother trying. I mean if your gonna help then give money to an organisation that actually can help.

Tired!

Im so tired today, why???
Anyway Im now back at the hotel just chillin on the balcony, warming my toes on the hot floor aaah. It is a pretty strange feeling to have been here for more then a week already, time actually flies away as my mind right ...

Mikko was right !?!?

So hotel accomondation is fine finally and internet is fixed, then the computer dies leaving me with nothing... but F**************CK!

"Don't think everything is fine, it will only get you sader when bad things happens ..."

Just one more post ...

Im sitting outside in my underware ... it is 28 Celsius, windy and compelety fine, bla bla bla still I will need to do some work.

I want to clarify ...

yupp I do send a lot of these post via my phone and afterwards I go edit them, so please patient with me I'm new too this bloging thing ;-) Hope I please anyone who's following my stupid and sometimes informatory blog.

Internet issue 2

... hardware problem.



Yepp it was only a crappy hardware connection and now I understand why it worked sometimes and sometimes not because Im fiddling around with my charges and so, at the left side you see the power connection and to the right the somewhat faulty hardware ...

Internet issue

I just called the reception and said "I have a Internet connection problem", "OK, I send an IT-guy to your room he'll be there within five minutes Sir," " Eeeh OK!?!?!" I was a little suprised but still it is a 5 star hotel, the IT-guy certaintly had the competence to do the job,  even that supriced me, first I explained the problem and he understood and found the problem within minutes. God damn good job, ok if I had this problem at home I had found it as easy but I am impressed about the service and knowledge.

The King and my true companion

... Canon or Kaaaanooon ...

After work last night

It was friday yesterday and we went to the COSMOS Mall the great mall I wrote about a couple days ago but this time we went to the top floor that have a Sportsbar. There we had some dinner and a coule of pitchers. It was a really nice time, the guys were me, Roger a Swedish colleague and Mikko a Finnish guy, these two are actully staying here in India for years ... it was really interesting here them telling there stories about India and the Indien way(s) of doing things. Maybe more about that some other time, it really got late and I was home at 2 o'clock after having a wiskey at Roger house as a "sängfösare".
Unfortunatly I did not take any pictures.

Im so tired and sleepy today ;-)

I wonder how a Kingfisher taste like here?

Well more or less the same but ;-) environment is better.
... and a Ticka Ticka with chicken.

Royal Orchid Suites

I got yet another accomadation tonight and Im very pleased. This hotel and this suite is topclass and I will stay until I go home which is at the 7:th of September.

Cosmos Mall

I got really bored at this complex that Im staying at so I search the net and found a mall just a coule of hundred meters from my stay. So let's wonder there for a couple of hours and then  have a beer or two at the bar. First of all, WTF and then I couldn't even find the bar so I went for some grosseries instead and then too get a beer from the liquorstore. So there the BIG sign was when Im trying to get the escalators and go "home" damn the bar is upstairs and you need to take the elevator.
This mall sucked big time, worst ever but you could probably find stuff that you might need if you try ;-)

It looks nice but it sucks, well Im not used too this kind of accomondation.
