The first day wasn’t bad at all. In fact, I’m pretty impressed with the way I carried myself.

There is a lot of resistance for this whole project idea. I will have to spend considerable amount of time in selling this idea. I’m not new to this approach; I had to do this for the project that I handled back in offshore as well. I have kick-off meetings tomorrow with the sponsors and other stakeholders. Hope at least the sponsor is ok with this idea; otherwise the project will fall flat.

They have provided me with an IBM laptop. Cool one; much faster one as well.

I had (Greek) Gyros & salad for lunch. I had chicken donner (Turkish) for yesterday’s dinner. I am sure by the time I return to India, I would gain all the weight that I lost; may be gain even more. Speaking of which, I don’t have any wheezing here (confirming my belief that it was due to dust allergy) but I do feel bit uncomfortable with freezing cold. I will have to look at some place where I can start doing exercises.
