Pycon Trip Begins

varunbansal84 — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:34:26 +0000

Pycon trip of mine hs begun wid a good omen – the lovely weather of Bangalore is making me gay

A real respite after arriving frm the shining but burning Delhi. My flight landed in d afternoon and arrived

at my long time friends office situated on the outer ring road. Got a direct Volvo (#8) from airport to Intel.

Intel is a lovely place to work, as it seems to me frm d first impression. Nice big campus, with not so high bldgs

and very sparsely populated. Cafeteria is also big and food ws excellent. Stayed inside d campus for bout 45 mins,

den startd for my friend;s home in BTM (near Silk Board). Another 20 mins bus ride from his office.

Now, waiting for the first rays of the morning sun, to start for d showdown.
