It was 11 PM in Ipswich on 25th of April when I started to scribble this. Every thing has its birth place and time and yes this for my blog. For ppl who were not related to British Telecom, would have never heard about Ipswich(a town in UK).
I have spent more than 18 months in this town. If not BT, Ipswich would be a perfect country side (athanga namma ooru gramamnu vachukongalen), thanks to BT for bringing in ppl from all over the world to this small town. To be frank, unlike me most of the ppl wont be liking Ipswich, they would have loved to live in London the financial capital of world, will be in a hurry to catch the under ground train and rush to the office. But the case is so different to me, except for Chennai(namma oorunga) I have never lived in a proper metro for which am unused to the fast pace of the metro life and I dunno want to live as well. In short am a lazy slacker.
I still remember when one of my fren in London was surprised to hear that Ipswich has only one Town Center. It wont be fair if I fail to mention about Adastral Park, the place where BT resides. It is one of the busiest place in Ipswich, hundreds of ppl used to commute to adastral park in the morning busy hours in the famous 66 bus series which is also known as indian express. And yes, Ipswich also has a face of busy life in it. Again for me the case was different, there used to be a substitute for every thing and here it is BT bibbway which was another less crowded BT office, a 10 min walk from my place. It was my work place for all these 18 months and yes I used to laugh at all of my frens who used to rush to catch their buses. I was living one of the laziest life of all time in Ipswich till last week.
Everything has its end, and here it comes in the form of Agile. Our Ipswich based team was forced to relocate at Adastral. Not sure how others in the team felt, but I was feeling so bad, worrying on the aspect that it I need to catch the 66 bus, run like hell in the morning to bus stand, wait for the bus and travel for more than 40 mins, all these were my valuable morning sleep. You know how bad it hurts if you need to sacrifice your morning sleep, be it 10 mins or 1 hour. And yes, now its almost a week done and am still exploring of any possibilities to relocate to bibbway.
