Sydney Stories - Week 26

Hello,

This weekend marks 6 months of my stay in Sydney. Been quite interesting so far. On the work front, am getting to know stuff just enough to be dangerous. I had a colleague of mine in Wipro who kept saying this - "I may not know much, but I know enough to be dangerous". I think I know exactly what he means now. Last week happens to mark 14 years of professional life as well. Guess am becoming an old dog. ;-)

2 girls sitting in the train the conversation goes like - yeah...am not saying she's not nice, but she's a bitch. ;-)

Currently on a book called "New Game, New Rules". It is about what Australian enterprises should do to compete in the global market. Quite  interesting read so far. Most of the things in there is quite common applicable to any country. However he brings about certain specifics about Aussie work culture. One interesting thing, there's really nothing much being exported from here except for wool and beer (probably oranges?). More about it after I finish it.

Had an awkward situation in our GP's office. We had first consulted with an Indian doc for Nandha and Nandhitha a few weeks ago. We were not quite impressed by her and decided not to go to her again. This week had to go to a GP for Nandha since his coughing didn't seem to subside. It was the same office which had 5 doctors. So we visit this old Aussie doc. He does a few checks and calls up "Hey Geets...there's this kid...blah blah blah..". Apparently he called up the other doc whom we didn;t want to see to get an opinion. On the way out "Dr Geets" says, don't forget to come back on Tuesday for a follow up. Somebody should've  taken a pic of me...would've been interesting. :-) Is there a Doc - patient etiquette guide? 

This weekend had been to a friend's house for lunch. Had great sambar sadham a.k.a "bisi bele bath" after a long time. Decided to make it a day off for the kitchen and eat out for dinner as well. My favourite Malay restaurant had closed down. :-( Need to find a good Mee Goreng place now. Ended up with good old Thai. 

Oki doki. Have a great week ahead.

Chetty
