Synapse -- Rocking Office

I've taken up a job at Synapse, which is an 'Information Agency' based in Goa! I'll be working as a Technology Specialist. And yes -- there actually are people working in Goa!

I've just been through my first day here and I'm already in love with the place. The office is an old Portuguese bungalow in Dona Paula (that's a town about 8km from Panjim). The two storeyed bungalow is painted bright red outside and has a big lawn with a volleyball court! There's even a tree with a truck-waala Goodyear ka tyre doubling up as a swing! Inside the bungalow the walls are painted in cyan, cream, red, yellow, purple... every other color except gray.

And there are no cubicles! Every project group has a room to itself with open desks for each member of the group. Every room has a lovely balcony. I spent the day reading up 'introduction-to-Synapse' stuff (induction related documents) in the balcony!

And since it's a bungalow, there's a full fledged kitchen as well. That's where I'll be having my breakfast, lunch, evening snacks, and dinner.

Apart from the 20 odd people that work at Synapse, there are three office (or official!) dogs -- canines. I'm yet to get acquainted with them -- seem to be rather quiet fellows.

The beach is hardly a two minute drive from the office. I was given a welcome lunch at a restaurant located on the beach. Goan curry and rice is yummy! It was the first time in my life that I had so many fishes.

Life seems so vastly different from what it was in Gurgaon -- let's see what it has in store for me...
