Dussehra holiday, I hope this is right

"Dussehra (Vijaya Dashami, Dasara, or Dashain) is a Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil"

So according to a colleague there was/is good which fought a demon for nine days before killing it so it is a victory over evil that we all should celebrate of course.



ABB Bangalore gives their employees a bag of sweets at this holiday and one the team members here asked if I wanted one and of course I do, I will bring it to my colleagues in Sweden so we can enjoy it together.

Inside there should be a larger box with sweets and 2 bags of some different sorts of dried fruits and one wich a bit spicey.


Lunch area and coffee area

At the office at 5th floor there are 2 different area were you can get coffee, one is/was very nearby me and have the usual black coffee, espresso, latte or hot water and the other place has more of an Indian flavor coffee taste machine, I had it lots of times as the coffee is STRONG and TASTY if you do not add milk to it then you will get it ... well STRONG and TASTY ... first time I did not like the taste but just 2-3 more and this one was the one so too say or the espresso at the first place.

Oooh some picture maybe ... no from the second Indian coffee machine

Coffee machine, to the left is 'milky stuff' and in the middle lots of button for your selection of taste
and to the right a big bottle of water.

Sometime when 'managers' arrive here then do eat here and it is close for employees so to the left you can see were they will place the kantine of food, just remember it is exactly the same food as we other deadly get from the food kantine up stairs restaurante.


In the background there is a waterbottle  machine thingy which has different kind of water, hot medium and cold ... I think ... otherwise to the right there are a big bottle of drinkingwater.

I can say when there are many people in here there will be a lot of noise, coffee machine, people talking load, chairs moving ... and if there is no air conditioning turned on ... it is hell(my point of view of course ;-)






No updates until ...

ooh as I wrote the title of this blog post I just realized it will probably be no difference.

" - I am going home and I can not blog for a couple of days ..."

This is of course not true as if I blog my trip home tomorrow then it will be more or less no difference ;-)
Hopefully a lot of pictures from the taxi ride, Bangalore airport, the plane, Frankfurt airport,next plane, Stockholm airport and the taxi drive home to final destination, Eskilstuna, Sweden

Picture from room 724 at about 7:15 o'clock. 2015-10-22

Of course more blogs will come tonight my last stay here at ZURI ...

Pictures from the office 2

Some more picture from inside, Random order, read comments.

I am a bit uncertain but think this from 5th floor were I work, then there should be 4 elevators, 2 to the right and 2 to the left.

Not a focused picture but informing about the different floors.

Entrance at the 5th floor to development and also a ghost in the window ... you need a 'passcard'.
Ooh now I remember that I missed out the new security at front entrance and in lower garage entrances. No pictures of it, but all hate it, it seems not to work properly, first show passcard then a thumb ... ooh oooooh please retry again ...

a bit better picture thean above one.

This from ground floor and the elevator at both sides, 4 of them.







Pictures from the office

I had planned to show some picture from the office last week but it haven't been highest priority but yesterday and today I got some pictures that shows the inside of the building and not only the lunch area.
Pictures are not in any particular order but I will give some comment to all of them.

Towards the lunch room and coffee area. There will be another blog post from there later today/tonight.

Cubicles nearby were I sit ...

My area, actually it is Mayank's desk and he is in Sweden right now and I will meet him on Monday when I am back at Swedish office ;-)

laptop and external monitor with background ... ooh it is shown in picture so why write anything about it ....

From my desk ...

From my desk towards the lab doors, lots of testing is going on there, NO PICTURES ALLOWED ;-)

All cubicles have seating for two persons and probably they work close together.

Foggy morning in Bangalore

Really foggy this morning but as soon as the sun started shining the fog was gone in 20-30 min ...








Last gourmet lunch at ABB employee restaurant

Not much to say about the picture, the upper to the left balls in sauce was really tough I could not slice them with the spoon so I did not taste them, just the sauce and it was nice with the bread. 2 different rices, one with spices and one plain. Some soup above that was eatable as well.






Last breakfast at ZURI

Simple one again. I had 4 slices of toast this morning, yeah really healthy food ...

Indian food this morning but with toasts ... no coffee.

Buses for employees

I think these are the buses that take employees to different parts of Bangalore
If it cost or how much it cost I do not know or remember, I probably have that information in one of my old blogs from Bangalore, India



Lunch with colleagues and manager

Today I was invited for lunch with the nearest colleagues that I am working with and it was a nice experience as we went to a, since a couple of month old newly open restaurant called The Bungalow.

According Krishan Bungalow means, big house or 'palace' but as westerns know the word bungalow it means 'small house' and to me it means relaxing small house near a beach ;-) in Thailand or a exotic land which also India qualifies as of course, I want too go to GOA for example ...


Upside you can see why it is called 'Bungalow', the big house, as it looks like a big house also inside the restaurant.





Nice place with a good variety of dishes, when going for a better lunch buffet restaurant like this the staff brings all sorts of starters to the table so you do not have to move until you are ready for the mains. Today it was so many starters and if you if to many of course you will not have much for mains, will you ;-) I really liked most of the them.








Last breakfast tomorrow in India

... but today it is still Wednesday and here is this morning breakfast.

"Pork" sausage, baked beans, some Indian bulgur dish, fritte ball, fried potatoes and toasts.
Coffee and juices
