Hectic...Hectic...Hectic...

I heard that I have a "fan" asking why I didn't update my blog. (woohoo...my first fan)...

"Thanks fan, for reading my blog!"

Everything seems to be a blur the past week. I only remember working till 1am in the morning on Thursday. Other than that, I only recall working, working, working and working...No time to go to the toilet, no time to surf the net and no time to update my blog. We even had to work on Saturday.

Oh. And I remember our boss telling us that Aditi wants us to extend our stay for 2 more months. Isn't it wonderful to feel needed by smart people?

My mum asks me why I don't want to stay. Well, if you see the way they work, staying here for 2 months, 6 months, six years or even forever, is not going to improve things. So why waste our time here instead of doing more constructive things back in Singapore? Not that our work in Singapore is really constructive but at least we do it in the comfort of our homeland.

Some of our colleagues, not Indians, often work in different offices. I would say they are very used to working with people from different cultures but none of them can stand working here. I totally understand why. Nobody wants to take responsibility and make decisions. Nobody can agree on anything. Nobody can stand firm and not change their minds every other day. Nobody double checks their own work. Nobody communicates changes. The list goes on...

Even though the transportation is not as convenient as Singapore, and the streets are not as clean, I still find Mumbai a nice city. But working in the office makes me want to leave the place as soon as possible. I am a really tolerant person and I have never felt this way about a place before. When I say a place is unbearable, it must be really unbearable. So just a warning to everyone. If you want to work here, do think twice.
