The Travel Bug

After a week long stay in Pune to talk about the New Features on Solaris 10, I reached back my base location last night, only to fly again to Hyderabad tomorrow evening. This is probabaly the first time that I am having an onsite training back to back on a same Sun Course. Travelling is fun.

The story on the front page of my favourite newspaper wasn’t all that encouraging on my departure date from Bangalore to Pune. On landing in Pune, it was umbrellas all around me (I could have written a poem like this on Umbrellas). It appeared to me that the rain wouldn’t cease. And it poured down rather continously over the next couple of days, after which it was all ‘sunny days.’

I now have ten more friends in Pune, all employed in Symantec. It was sheer fun out there for five full days, starting July 2. Felt nice to interact with some experienced folks there and learn a lot about their work culture and also their products. They felt the new features of Solaris 10 were kewl, especially the ‘killer’ ZFS. I was more than excited to hear a friend from the group below say, “I really like the way Sun is launching in the market opensourcing all its products.” There are other people as well who think that Sun is getting the right pulse of the market.

While at Pune I managed to watch Die Hard 4.0. Thanks to a friend in the picture, I got my tickets through online reservation. So next time I go to Pune for some reason or the other, I know whom to contact for movie tickets
