HOT: RECYCLED OFFICES!

My company has finally relocated from Noida (in Uttar Pradesh) to MG Road (in Delhi), which is en route to Gurgaon (in Haryana).

The two office spaces couldn’t be more opposite in character. The erstwhile one was swanky, with an assembly-line production of white cubicles and cabins. We had a pantry, a crèche, a table-tennis space and a gym (which sadly, no one seemed to use).

The new haunt is a nightclub-turned-office, which was originally designed with somewhat rugged interiors. You have wood and stone on the floor, and whitewashed walls. The brushstrokes are still visible, on purpose, of course.

Next door you can purchase a beanbag in the most vibrant colours for 700 bucks (some say you can bargain for as little as 300!). And we eat lunch in the adjoining resto-bar, whilst lounging on plush red sofas.

Some don’t like the space, but I think it has potential and may turn out to be a real project – in a good way.

ON THE MOVE

My office is relocating from Noida to a place called MG Road in Dilli, in the next two days. The metro is being constructed along the length of the road, and we can expect lots of dust, traffic and concrete, in all directions.

On the bright side, there's a decent furniture hub in the vicinity. And the malls of Gurgaon are just a stone's throw away, in case, we feel like some retail therapy.

Yes, this Dilli adventure is getting more interesting (conveniently ambiguous word that reveals absolutely nothing!).

The swimming is coming along great. I find it rather amusing to watch the ladies in the pool sport little frills attached to the swimsuit. Personally, I think it looks tackier than flabby thighs, which are meant to be seen in a pool. The men though are very satisfied to show off their f(l)ab abs, and in fact, freestyle along with a quiet air of contentment, flabby thighs or not.
