Ok, get ready for this. On wednesday, when we got back from work, the hotel was surrounded by guards, our vehicle was not allowed near, so we had to get off and walk. Walking in Bangalore is not fun, because traffic does not stop for you and there's dust everywhere. Anyway, when we got to the hotel, we had to go through a metal detector, like the one in the airport. So nosy like me, we had to find out what's going on at the hotel. Guess what, the Hungarian prime minister and the Dalai Lama just checked into our hotel. Rumor has it that DL was celebrating his birthday there. Holy Moly... Ok nobody cares about the Hungarian prime minister, but Dalai Lama? I've only heard of that stuff on TV. The floor where DL was staying was guarded by security personnel with guns, too bad I was not on that floor. So that was day 1. Day 2, when we left for work in the morning, people lined up outside of the hotel, so we figured DL was probably receiving them. I couldn't go line up and get DL's blessing cuz we got work to do. Then on Friday, we saw red carpet on the floor in the lobby. Apparently the Dalai Lama was ready to check out. And we got lucky, we got to see the Dalai Lama in person! My colleagues took some really nice pictures, I was stupid enough to leave the camera in my room. Anyway, I'm just touched, I would never able to experience what I'm experiencing now if it's not for this job. Yes there're instances where I complain about my work, but who doesn't? I'm just so so glad how this job has really opened up my eyes.
