( My wonderful room mates Amitava and Debba in Trivandrum)
To tell more about the office,it was a two floor building top two floor had office spaces and ground floor had shops ranging from bakery to saloon shop. After few days of official accommodation we were asked to look out for a house, I asked the tea shop guy for a house and he happily took us to a house in a lane hardly 50 meters away from the office. The owner stayed at ground floor and we were shown the top floor a two bedroom house with a rent when divided by three came to just 3 digit figures. The house had a wonderful balcony which gave a ideal place to chat around.Also the owner had a pomaranian dog which also become our friend for the months we stayed there.We accepted it and moved in the same day infact nothing much to take in expect our suitcases.

Going to office those days was always a pleasure, at 9 o clock in the morning I would be the first person to reach office and by the time I leave office at 6 I(apart from my teammate) would be the last one to leave.After two months we bought a stove and few cooking utensils and started our cooking. Mostly in afternoons we used to come home have lunch have a short nap and then go to office. In the evenings we three of us used to talk about different subjects,being from different regions we would always pulling each other states and their people.
Nevertheless we got guests every month,my friends or their friends coming for a weekend to look around the places there. We always used to play good hosts taking them to kovalam beach to enjoy the scenary(!) around. From Cochin to Chennai to Calcutta people came to visit us.
( Yours truely at Kovalam)
But this honeymoon period didn't last long enough,there was a government change in Kerala soon enough and we had to wind up the project and move back. When asked for the best days in my company I would say surely it was these days in Trivandrum!
