Ping from Noida

Hello from a slightly chilly Noida.

I left Hyderabad on Sunday afternoon. Landed Sunday evening. Joined the team Monday morning. Five days in. Still finding the bathrooms.

Hyderabad runs warm. Delhi runs to extremes – both ends of the year. I landed in peak winter with nothing for it. The first thing I bought was a jacket. The second thing was a thicker one.

The office looks like the comp lab from college – fewer machines, full internet for once. I have a desk. I have a login. I have someone who wants me to ship something by next week. Everything else can wait.

I’m learning to fly, but I ain’t got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing.

The move was impromptu but not unweighed. I am tired in a way that I haven’t been allowed to feel in months. That’s the part I’m not putting in the post. The post is the exhale.
