A bit about myself..

My name is Martin Nielsen, and for the past almost 9 years i have been living in Slovakia - Bratislava. This blog here "a Trip versus a Journal" is my attempt to try and share my feelings, emotions, ideas, thoughts and anything else that might be on my mind ... - i hope you will enjoy it ... :-)

..Game on ...

3 ltrs of water, 2 bottle of pepsi, 1 biscuit, 2 portions of rice, 1 egg, 60 slides in PowerPoint, 6 group discussions, 2 individual exercises, loads of conversation and 8 hours later i finally arrive back to the hotel - what a day! the days i have had in Chennai till now, has been like the weather right now, sunny then rainy, the sunny and back to raining - but today was a perfect day! So today it was my turn to be standing in front of 3 guys and 24 ladies, working for this organization, todays topic was time management, effective decision making, give and receive feedback and goal setting - yes friends this in one day! and i can ensure you that we managed somehow to cover all of it.. - sitting on my bed writing out my day today, i am still a bit unsure how we managed to cover it all, but yes - we did cover it all, as i said it was a perfect day.

let me try and give you an insight into what exactly happened and you can judge for yourself if it was successful or not.. - once again susanna and i, didnt have the best beginning for our day when we left the hotel (we started at 7.00 with 60 min of yoga, the breakfast - and then off we went), as Kumar was fired last night (or resigned, not sure which one is the right one, doesnt matter) we had to catch a rickshaw to work, the guy that drove us yesterday morning met us, as i am sure he felt that we would need a ride again today, funny enough the price went up with 30 rupees today, the warm rain once again welcomed us outside..


(so this is what it looked like from the back of our rickshaw this morning..)

..as we take of, learning from yesterdays mistake i ensured that my leg(s) werent touching anything in the rickshaw - and for what it was worth i kinda remained dry, and then the drive pulls up in front of the office, only to have parked in what seems the biggest lake on a public road, so i literally have to fold my pants up.. and i am out for 30 sec, and my sandals and feet are soaked, its kinda nice, but still - come on, right from the morning .. (by far my sandals has been the best investment i have made for this trip..)


(so here is the proof of it being wet this morning ..)
