May Day
| I am spending May day working in a conference room reeking of chicken curry (lunch) in an empty office gazing over spreadsheets that need me to prune workforces for a new project we are doing? Ironic, don't you think? Work has gone into overdrive this time around in Malaysia, not much fun. Other than seeing the insides of my hotel room and the office I have not been able to do much. Would like to go home now but from all indications I am here atleast for another week. On the brighter side, I am really beginning to enjoy work. Anyone heard the rumour about Motorola buying Siemens COM? Rahul got married to Megumi last week in Goa, one wedding that I regret not being there for. Another one coming up is Angy's in a couple of weeks, which I am going to sorely miss. When we moved to Germany, we still had luggage in France, England, US and India waiting to be shiped over. We have slowly worked through the list to get them to Corneliusstrasse, our final shippment from India should be here in a few weeks. Cannot wait to get settled, sitting on boxes is no fun. So far the feeling of having some sort of permanency is still non-existent. But I have hope.... |

post a commentI was in KL for a few days last week. Got an interesting insight into how business is done here. Basically, its kind of similar to the Middle East.
You have to have a non-working CEO who has to be a native "bhumiputra" or Malay and the rest of the company can be all expats!

Motorola buying Siemens COM ...been hearing that for a month. There's even talk of a piecemeal sale of assets. Looks like some private equity vultures are interested.
