Trip to MS IDC
Well this was definitely the highlight of my whole vacation to Hyderabad (yeah yeah , seeing my brother after a long time was also a highlight) , now , it was the last full day i was going to spend in Hyderabad , i was coming back to New Delhi (a.k.a. saddi dilli) via a morning flight the next day. We went to the campus about 1 pm (or was it 2 pm) , anyway me and my mom got registered as my bro’s visitors at the gate , and while my bro entered with his smart card , i had to be content with the guard opening access gates for us.
The office is definately a work of art , the buildings are made almost entirely of glass and steel , we went inside where once again we had to register and we were given our visitor passes (which basically means we are allowed inside as long as a MS employee escorted us, but as soon as someone sees me alone , the guards will zap me with lasers and make me drink truth serum(and maybe not !))
We first went to see my bro’s cubicle , the place was nice with free coffee , milk , tea , cold drinks etc. nearby. I had a cold drink and some tea. Then we went to see the cafeteria in building one, the cafeteria looked nice , but my bro told me the food is pathetic (ok) , then we went to cafeteria two , it also looked nice , but again my brother gave me the same warning , but i decided to try it out anyway. I had a pizza from the Smoking Joe’s counter, which was good but the sauces were terribly diluted (TERRIBLY). Then was the fun part , we visited my brother’s flatmates in their cubicles on the first floor , then we set out to play pool , nice ! , we had a short game of pool and i had another different flavour of tea. Then we went outside the building to see it from the back , awesome again , glass and steel and a barista outlet in the middle !!!
We then played foosball , this is what got to me , an extremely enjoyable game , now i really wanna work here , we chatted some more in my bro’s cubicle and then headed out , this completed my trip to Microsoft IDC and what a lovely trip it was. Really inspiring in the sense that i now want to work hard to end up at a cool facility like this and not some yucky job (waise being in NSIT 20% of the job is done already , but the rest 80% is upto me).
