Finally, I decided to move to Banglore and accepted the job offer there. I sent a mail to other company which also offered me a job. No love lost as I talked to my senior who forwarded my resume in this firm. So, I have started packing my bags and I am planning to move in the end of this month. Lets see, how it turns out there.
Last night, I was talking to that restaurent owner, where I usually take my dinner. He has been offered to open a branch near my current office. I tried as much as I can to make him accept this offer. Though, it will not be helpful for me as I am moving out but atleast others will be able to get some good food. I spent around one hour, assuring him that he will have huge number of customers there and he will be able to manage with his higher food prices. Currently he charges a little more than the food caterer in the office, but current food quality is so pathetic that most of the people are ready to shell out more bucks to get decent food. I hope, this deal gets finalised as this new guy offers good quality food.
One interesting comment from one of my collegue left me little bit shocked. I was asking him about the comparison of some B-school from his own. His comment was "there is no comparison, that school is just another street side one, our is much reputated one". It would not have made me laugh, if his college had been 'a good reputated one'. Both of those colleges hold similar reputation and there is no difference in their rankings. This is simply amazing when people expect from you that you don't classify their college as street-side one but don't spare some other college. Its more like, to move up, you push others down, so that you are more visible and be counted in higher ups. Here, its simply prestige issue, more like a kiddy way. People don't want to grow up and are dependent solely on pushing others down to keep their differentitation. Even remebering this dialogue is enough for me to go in laughing riot.
Still to talk to my boss and push my relieving date a little sooner. Good luck to me :).
