first few days in Delhi

I arrived in Delhi via Amman on Saturday Sept 29th at around 5am. A short wait at the luggage collection followed by a ride in a prepaid taxi saw me at IIT campus. I got a room at the faculty guest house, and immediately took a nap for an hour.

At around 10am Subhasish picked me up and we moved to office. I found an office room waiting for me, with a desktop. I got it to bootup, but a few automatic updates later the machine crashed -- something to do with a wrong driver update? I powered on my laptop instead. A long day later I found myself looking at the ceiling of the guest house lying in a bed and pondering about whats in store for me.

On Sunday, a short visit to the office was followed by a trip to check out IMF near South campus. It looked much better than I had hoped for. From IMF, I took another auto-taxi to head towards the airport. I picked up Devasree whose flight arrived just 5mins late, and then we came back to campus. We had a quiet lunch, followed by a short nap, then headed out to explore the campus and its surrounding -- had dinner at Essex farm.

Monday was another tough day -- the computer continued to act weird, atleast in the first half. I got my medical checkup done, and in the afternoon we went to check out a few apartments. We liked the last one, lets see if we get it. There was a faculty dinner at the guest house that evening.

Tuesday being 2nd October, most places were closed. I finished most of the installations on my pc. In the evening, we went out of main gate to have dinner at this smallish place, a nice dinner followed by a gentle walk back to the guest house.
