So.. Here i am waiting for gws to start up. It seems to be taking more time. So let me blog my thoughts. Ya as I told, today is the third day I am here at office. The thoughts of the past 2 days.. I will try to put up some time. So, this is experience of the day. This is some thing which I have experienced for the first time in my life.

I called up the reception to book a cab to go to google plex. He asked at what time. I told 8:45 AM. I then went to bath and I was getting ready. It was 8:43 AM. I thought, I am pretty sure that guy is going to take some time, coz i informed the help desk only at 8:28AM. Then at 8:45 AM sharp, I get a call. "Sir, Your car has arrived...". Isnt it surprising. Probably the only other time I had booked cab was when I was in chennai and I had to go to GRE exam. This came to my mind. I reminded that guy the previous night and the next day I had to keep calling him 3 times, and he arrives strongly 15 minutes beyond schedule. I was just lost in thougths.. What a surprise, in US the cab driver comes in time.. I was literally thinking of the past and was almost lost for 2 minutes..

knock knock..
this is not my dream..
the cab driver comes to my room and says.. "Sir did u book a cab"
Me : "yes"
"I will be thr in a minute.. I am just wearing my shoes"
CD (Cab driver) : "I am waiting here for 3 mins. Please come fast."
Me : "Sure"

Surprise 2. I am waiting here for 3 minutes.. Man.. whats happening..

There I go into the car, I sit down
"Just wait a min, my collegue is coming."
CD : "Please ask him to come fast, I have waited for such a long time"
I get down, go and call him. He says, he will come in a minute.

But it was 3 mins and he didnt come. The cab wala incidentally is from India.
He starts speaking in hindi. He says, I have other customers. What do I tell them,
I was waiting for u guys.
It was already 8 mins.
"I cant wait anylonger...."
He starts the cab. Trust me. I thought he is going to park elsewhere.

I didnt .. He just zoomed off..
"Your collegue will find another cab."
"Ok, but let me inform him and come.."

He was silent..
He asks which building in google.. we were already half way through..
I was so shocked. I couldnt react.
Man whats happening.
He drops me at my lobby at office. He gives back the change.
"I am sorry, this is my profession. Every minute costs me. I waited there so long only because you are from India."
Me : "Thanks, I am sorry for the delay"

I get down from the car. He gives the bill.

I off he goes... zooooooooooooooooooooom...

I was telling myself.. "Welcome to America"
