Sinong nakapunta/work na sa India?

[mantoy]

the indian food that i like are chicken tikka, chicken tikka masala, curry (chicken & beef) , chicken tandoori, biryani rice (with your choice of meat), and their nan bread (sarap isawsaw sa curry sauce).

yung biryani rice indian ba yan?

may kinakainan akong persian resto ang they serve biryani rice (all kinds of toppings like lamb, pork, veggies, your choice), yummmmmm talaga!

o baka both indian and middle eastern yan, hehehehe

whatever the origin, masarap talaga

tikim na! kainan na!

[stinkaboy]

masarap din sa kublai...

Thanks guys, those inputs were really great.

Sir amrit, you had all the right to defend your culture especially when it's being hit with offensive remarks. We apologize for any statements made. Rest assured, I didn't start this thread to trigger a racial bait.

It's a hard decision for me, I have the option of not to go naman... If I resign hehe. I'm the project lead for this project but walang usapan that my team will be required to leave the country to work for several months... Training, site visit etc pwede pa, but to work, di ako handa dun... Not that I'm inflexible, if the timing is right, go ako dya, hilig naman ako tumira kung san san eh, but not now...

I'm not willing to miss my son's 5th-12th month milestones no matter how much it is worth, career wise. I'm not missing the chance to see him walk, crawl, say words, etc... Trabaho pwede ako maghanap ng iba (may mga offers naman eh), although masaya ako sobra sa work ko ngayon, it wont justify missing the events that I'll never get back again...

[wreckless]

hats off theveed!

cool dad... :toast:

[theveed]

Mapapabili ako ng PC di oras nyan para makapag webcam... DSL pa... hehe gastos....

[mbt]

tough decision nga... hehe. stay with your kid nalang!

[theveed]

To make it tougher... The project started for about a month na... Ako team lead and directly nagcocoordinate yung tao sa NY sakin... If I quit, malaki chance na di kakayanin ang load ng 2 kong writer. Di maghihire ng fulltime yung company kasi bago pang dept and mahirap maghanap ng senior writers usually. Kung di ko tinanggap yung assignment, malamang magreresign ako... If i did, nahihiya din ako sa immediate boss ko dahil friend ko sya, and yung PM namin mabait din sobra sakin.

If nagkaproblem ang project after I leave, sama sa record ko yun... kasi first client ng department yung account na ginagawa ko...

hay.

[odell]

ok lang yan.. ang pera kikitain.. ang family pare hinde..

[tompetty0614]

pangit dun, mas ok pa dito sa pinas..makulit mga tao! as in!!! very tight pa mga indian boss' dun! unlike nung mga white boss' ko nun, very laid back sila. pero sa india??mag cr lang ako eh hahanapin ka na? wellits just me ha? try mo na lang! ingat lang sa mga pedi cab dun!!taga minsan sumingil..

[odell]

kahit ako kahit hidne ganun kayaman.. mas gusto ko mabuhay dito sa pilipinas kasi parang mas nasanay na ako at at home sobra

I wish I had the permission to post my former officemate's story of his 2-week training trip in India. Tawa ako ng tawa.

Oh well... some highlights I remember:

- be prepared for the spicy food. Even if you specify to the waiter "not too spicy", spicy pa rin.

- water. Get ready to spend on bottled, filtered, distilled, or whatever, just not tap.

- traffic, public transport, is at the very least, different. Here's the tricycle equivalent. Hope you can see it:

And of course he's not afraid to be in between buses.

- Culture is rich. Architecture is nice. Be sure to bring your camera and click away.

Staying a few months is probably ok. I have former officemates who spent anywhere from 3 to 6 months there. Mahirap lang mapalayo sa pamilya.

true enough, there's no place like home after all.

OK lang maanghang ako kumain, but for sure not as spicy as the locals.

Sterilizing tablets, here I come hehe.

Yun ang isang worry ko, getting ripped off sa everyday travel...

Hehe, I'm not, but I don't know about the 2 girls I'll be with...

That's what I've been looking forward to.. photo addict ako, I'd love to visit India, worried lang ako ngayon dahil work to.

Dati siguro I won't be as "attached" dito. I'll miss my wife, but kahit papano she's an adult... My little boy's only 3 months old going on 4, 1 day lang ako di makauwing maaga namimiss ko na sya sobra... iwan ang ganitong itsura???

tompetty0614: No offense dude, but I think your comments need to be more politically correct.

[carlocaraddict]

nakakainis kasi laging may naghuhukay pag tag-ulan! Kung tag-araw, wala.

carloaddict,
Sanay na ang Pinoy sa hukay tuwing tag ulan hehe. O baka Pilipinas ang tinutukoy mo? hahaha.

this thread proves na napaka diverse ng mga forumers ng tsikot.com, kaya need to be more cautious when posting comments or reaction

i remember my dad left for India for a study grant. he brought lots of Goya chocolates and pinag agawan daw ng mga Indian classmates niya. sarap na sarap sa chocolates natin.

[theveed]

Update:

The odds are 60/40 na aalis kami... Sa Sept pa malalaman.

It doesn't make business sense for the India office kung ililipat kami, laking cost sa kanila irelocate kami for several months, obligado pa sila sa tickets namin every 3 months to come back here...

Basta ipupush ko padin na di matuloy... not that I'm threatening the company, di ako ganun ka important hehe, but I'll really quick if they'll require me to stay longer than 4-5 months.

this thread clearly demonstrates how one's homegrown & unique breeding can influence to a large extent which path we are heading in life;

i for one has been traveling in many parts of the earth year in & out earning my honest lot;

it's a sacrifice which has it's own limit and material reward; living & immersing with different races, cultures, environments is a daily learning experience; a daunting challenge stretching your patience & understanding to its yield point..

i've never been to india but has met a lot of its people in my places of work: lowly ranks, middle managers..they are just ordinary guys like us.. generally they are decent & mild mannered individuals though some exceptions are a common occurence which can happen even to us filipinos..

at the end of the day i can say to myself: there is no regret and i will continue to earn my living until time will decide for me to join my loving & understanding family for good..

it only take a strong spiritual conviction to be what you want to be.

otherwise, "que sera, sera"..
