Directions and Bus Routes... Hmph!! tell me about it!!

My Geography sucks!! Well i still don't know the situation of all the states in my own country!! Yep shocking n shameful!! So i better learn tat up as soon as m done with this post....

Anyways, getting back to the topic, i jus got placed @ a major MNC. Had to go to Embassy Golf Links,Bangalore for 5 days for my orientation program.

How did i travel???
Yep u got it right - using the famous BMTC(for those of u who don't kw, this in simple terms is the bus transportation provided by the government)

No direct bus goes from my house to this place.. so hv to take 3 buses alteast.

These r the routes tat i took for the morning travel each day:

Day 1 : Home->Corporation->Koromangala Water Tank->EGL

Day 2 : Home->Corporation->a stop b4 sony world->sony world(i din kw tat d previous bus wud also goto to this place so crossed the road to catch a bus in d oppo direction, realised i was wrong, so crossed bak n took another bus!! ya it was annoying!!)

Day 3 : Home->Majestic->Domlur Bridge->EGL

Day 4 : Tried to follow the "PERFECT" day 1 route.. so this is wat happened... Home->(Koromangala Water Tank stop skipped so) Madiwala->EGL

Day 5 : The Best of all!! 
Thot i had to go to the other office located in the other end of the city (well i did hv company :p ) So
Home->Hebbal->Manyata

Reached there @ 9.15 whn it was supposed to begin @ 10. Was all alone. Called up a frnd n confirmed the meeting here. Used my brand new ID card to explore the building. Even had Cappuccino. Came back to d reception, called up my HR jus to kw tat i was @ d wrong place!!

Scared?? Embarrassed?? Anxious?? Yes Yes Yes!!!
OMG!! N this is jus my 1st week. 
Well my HR did console me n said its ok. But still..............!!!!!!!!

hmmm.....
so now my bus route: Manyata->Marathalli->Domlur Bridge->EGL
Not bad.. finally made it!!
Except for a senior teasing us, nothing else happened :) (LUCKILY)

Well v jus had a good laf abt this in d end.. It sure as hell was adventurous.. Did get to c another tech park on the way, 2 malls, got to kw the location of some nice restaurants.. Explored the places around.. N finally it was FUN!!! :)

All's well tat ends well is definitely soo true!! :)
