New job, new environment
Before I share my experience, I was reminded of a blog initiative that I undertook when I was at 20:20 MEDIA. Unfortunately, I could not drive it. But that experience atleast helped me in ensuring that we all get an invite to contribute.
Coming back, most of my experience has been in a branch office of a national PR agency. The largest office that I ever worked was 20:20 MEDIA. After four years and being relatively more senior, communication was always verbal (just short of being loud). Talking over phone was an easy exercise.
So now I join my new employer where I am seated with 30-40 colleagues in the same wing. A call comes on my phone; but not my voice. I was so conscious of not being loud. It was quite an experience. For the first time, there are more than 10 people I am working with and it is all small cubicle. If you move your elbow too fast or stretch your leg too wide you end up hitting few neighbours. I was scared raising voice will be met with raised eyebrows.
Now I am quite settled. Able to talk little louder. Guess, it's still better than few of my other ex-colleagues who do not have a permanent place in offices.

It was wonderful to hear from so many dear friends and some gave this wonderful idea to initiate this blog to stay connected. So here goes.........
The idea is to have an active alumni network where we can yap about our newborns, landmarks, eyesores, shopping, politics, controversies, incidents, events, people, restaurants, pubs, boyfriends, husbands, (in that order!), sometimes wives, shops, urban history and development affecting you, me or your dog, or anything or anywhere else.….. Basically anything and everything that will help us stay connected.
I have attached some pics from 20:20 bashes and will take the liberty of posting some pics that i get from you all. Feel free to abuse me if you want it removed...but then it would be too late..the whole world would have already seen your extra pounds.
