Back in Blr and currently looking for new directions, job wise.

Travelled quite a bit, before starting work life and after that too. But mostly south of the Vindhya's. After a short stint in the gulf, and then a longer [but not long enough] stint in the US - both east coast and west coast.

IT pro - IT Infrastructure & networking. Completed my Electronics Engg in Blr in the early 90's.

Fast bucks is the main reason, i believe. after a long stint in NYC, i feel like short business trips r better for me just like you.

i agree completely with you azmat. most of the cars are on credit. my bro wanted to pick up a porche and had asked me to pick up his bmw but whn i saw instalments remaining i had to refuse it. Anywaz don't need a ride in nyc as public transport is too good.
