I went today to the HSBC bank in teh citi cente in Cambridge to open a bank account. I have opened only one Bank a/c in SBI in Chennai..but the procedure here was entirely different.After submitting my passport copy and address proof..the person (an Indian settled probably) entered those details and my salary details in the database..she let the system decide on what tpe of account the bank should give me and if I can be given a credit card or not.
I dont know if I was really lucky but the person said that the system has given me a very good account,current account with over draft and a credit card... am not sure if I have to be hapy abt this...
Now abt the chatting sessions..
Gtalk is good but some time there is a long pause/noise for more than 10 secs...I think it was better at home in India with a BSNL Data One connection...But now I feel India is technically developed..
Discussd a lt of things with my friend Murali - abt North/South India, Culture Change, the perception of India/Indian by "foreigners"..the company we worked for..all shits...

I was feeling homesick and wanted to go back to my my parents (my mom especially).
Didnt get adjusted to the timings so slept a bit early ( indian time).
